I've never driven a 157" f150 except this one. I drove the shortbed before I placed an order to try out the interior and ecoboost, I don't think this truck with the payload package feels much different to me - but it was a few months between rides.

I've only driven my new truck home from the dealer so far, but it feels like a Cadillac compared to my old 2500HD.

Can you take a shot that shows how far these 7-lug wheels are tucked inside the fenders?
Thanks a lot!

You got it... right after cocktail hour - I'm on vacation this week

Awesome, thanks a lot.

The wheels look great, IMO the best stock wheels Ford offers (besides the Raptors maybe).

I want to chime in and say I like those 7-lug wheels as well. They fit the truck perfectly. The Aluminum clad 18" wheels that you can get on the STX models are my second favourite wheel and the one I hope to buy used from somebody down the road,

Here's what I could come up with...

And the WTF was Ford thinking shot... weights on the outside edge of all 4 wheels.

I hope I can get them removed without damage and replaced with stick-on weights in on the back of the rim...

I installed the Amp Powersteps last night, and it will be in the garage for the rest of the week getting clay bar treatment and paint sealant. I've only put 20 miles on it so far, but I'm loving it

Truck looks great man! Congrats
