Default My new 2018 Lariat 6.5 (Bucks County, PA)

I picked up my truck last Wednesday. It's replacing a 2012 Nissan Frontier that I absolutely LOVED. That truck was so reliable, simple and fun. It served me so well but I got my first little one on the way and I had to pull the trigger. I come from a family of Fords, my father currently has 3 (Two F-350s and an old Ranger). Things I've already done; Tint, 20%. Bakflip MX4, Bakbox (waiting to install), Husky storage thing, under seat, Raptor-like front lights. Notice the 4 lights (from http://www.customautoworksstore.com/). I also have a stubby antena and front black gloss emblem replacement here, just waiting for warmer weather.

Future plans (expensive truck + baby on the way = low cost mods):
ZROADSZ lower bumper LED light kit
CAI
Rousch Exhaust (maybe)

1616lbs, I think. If I'm checking it correctly.

That sounds about right - crew cab Lariat w/long bed, so 7050 gvwr IIRC. It's listed on the red and yellow sticker in your driver's door jamb. Says passengers and cargo should not exceed XXXX lbs or YYY kg. Something along those lines.

Yup, then that's the correct number! And correct on the GVWR as well.

Yeah, I'm an Order Guide Nerd when it comes to F-150s.

Nice truck, BTW.

That number is lower than I expected your truck must be loaded. What’s your front GAWR rating 3600?

It’s your gross axle weight rating.
