Im 17, and my parents got me a 2012 F150 Lariat 2x4. I don't even know why they make 2 wheel drive trucks, but whatever. I am looking around for a four wheel drive conversion kit that is reliable and not too expensive. I dont really know anything about the little parts and what have you, but I'm trying to learn. I don't know if it would be cheaper to buy a kit, or just buy different parts. Please let me know.

thanks,
P

 

you are talking about alot of coin to do that bud...

 

There is no kit, you'll have to swap the front differential, transmission/ transfer case, and possibly wiring harness from a 4wd f150. The swap should be a direct bolt on.

 

Be satisfied that they bought you a pickup.

 

correct me if Im wrong but dont the frames differences between them?

 

think that is the biggest thing that is being over looked!

 

No offense but if you can't afford to buy your own truck you can't afford to turn it into a 4wd. And even if you could, why bother? Be much,much cheaper to trade it in or sell it and buy a 4wd

 

 

I am satisfied. We have money, and they are letting convert it to 4wd. Don't tell me how to think. I'm more than satisfied

 

Man i had to scratch and claw for the 2000$ to buy my first truck no help from anybody. i would not accept a truck like that from anybody. It will feel wrong id rather be able to say i bought it myself and feel like i worked my *** off for it. You can never truly appreciate something like this unless you work for it. 4x4 is a luxury not a necessity. Be happy you have parents who buy you everything right now because later in life you will have to work. But who am i to say anything i am just a 19 year old working 50 hour weeks trying to pay bills and keep my truck running.
