I say put similar wheels/tires, and tow mirrors just like your '15 and call it good!
That's exactly my thoughts on the mirrors.

Haven't decided on changing the wheels but larger tires are definitely in order.

Either case you pay extra for the e-lock. So no discount for the E-lock axle? Man Ford really sucker punches with that FX4 package. Anyway, Nice truck, enjoy it, I know I enjoy mine immensely.

Was anything wrong with the XLT?

I went from an XLT to a Limited (KR and Platinum would have sufficed but they practically gave me a Limited for the same price of the Platinum so went with Limited). After driving my wife’s Explorer Sport I literally just wanted memory and ventilating seats lol.

IIRC, almost all FX4s around here come with 3.55 axles.

Congrats and nice color choice

Absolutely nothing wrong with the 2015 XLT - although it did have 4,500 miles

It was originally equipped with 3.31 axle ratio. I had it regeared to 3.73.

Nope, no discount for the E-Lock when purchasing both the FX4 & Max Trailer Tow Pkg.
