3.55 gears is a good compromise gear. Not the best fuel mileage but less likely to lug the engine. With the 20 speed it’s less critical
Bed cover giving better mpg? Slightly better but will probably not ever pay for its self. It also adds a little weight.
You mean 10 speed tranny, OR you are talking about the 20” wheels?
Either way, thx: All responses are mucho appreciated, never had an F-150 before and not really planned this build process much. My Beemer lease is up in 8 weeks, need wheels and went to look at F-150s at a 2 dealers, found out soon I need to order to ger what I want.
Looking at your build I would NOT do the OE bed cover. To my knowledge they still use an Extang. This review made me change my order at the last minute.
Thx Mike: Already removed the cover from the build, will add the bed step.
What else...?
Anybody care to guess what the final price willl be on this build? $5-6 off Sticker, or less, or more?

Price is moving target because of rebates. Mine when down by around $2500 from order to delivery because of incentives. They should give you the rebates when you order or what they are at delivery whichever gives you the lowest price.

Yup, that is what they promised; Agreed price, OR lower if additional incentives pop up while waiting.
Another question:
I got the 20” wheels: If I select the floor shifter a warning pops up and says you have to get the 18” wheels.
WTF, did I read it wrong, or is there a reason for floor shifter only with smaller wheels?
+1 on the tailgate step and 36 gallon tank love both in my '18 XLT Screw. The 2.7L is a great engine if it is just a daily driver and not really towing and hauling often otherwise the 3.5L is the way to go. I firmly believe Ford still only offers a V8 in the F-150 is for the guys stuck in the 80's who think a truck isn't a truck unless it has a V8 lol (sorry Mike) lol

Noticed you have wheel well liners: What is the pros and cons there: Protect the wheel wells from salted roads? Noise dampening? Looks? Other?
Thx.

LOL..I'll have to get back with about this after my Duran Duran cassette is done playing.

The wheel well liners help keep stuff being thrown up off the road beating the underside of your truck as well make it easier to clean the wheel wells. On top of that they just look better then no liners.....makes the truck look more finished.
