Not sure if it has been mentioned, but I am pretty sure the tow rating is affected by the low profile tires on 22" wheels.

P.S. - I have the '08 Limited and love it. I also like the the looks of the new one.

I just got my new '11 Limited this week. I had the '08 Limited and loved it. So far the '11 is even better.

You might consider holding off on this. I have a 2010 FX4 with the Max Tow Package and, while I grant the mirrors are somewhat...large (my buddy calls them the "dumbo ears"), they do grow on you. You get used to being able to see a *lot* more and the puddle mirrors have kept me from changing lanes into people right next to me a couple of times (even with the bigger mirrors there's this one blindspot...).

Just something to think about. Have fun with your new truck.

My garage is too tight for the tow mirrors. Esp. since they are only manual folding.

I got #329. The dealer also had a couple in the 900s and one in the 1900s. I had them look at all the numbers for the lowest one.

Git er dun- Welcome to the club. My grill has done the same thing twice now. Go and get it replaced. Ford has to fix this quality control issue with the supplier. We all need to complain. Its total junk imo!!!
