This may sound dumb, but I want to figure this out. When I bought my truck it had been repainted and there were no 4x4 or Fx4 stickers on the bed. The used lot I received it from was unsure as well. It has 4wd but how do I know if it is just standard or not? Thanks in advance.

 

are there skid plates all fx4 have front skid plates as well as one for the gas tank

 

What year?

02-03 is FX4... I don't think 01 had FX4, but it could have.

 

Rancho shocks and 17's on my 02

 

I know for sure I have a skid for my gas tank. Im not sure about the front. Ill have to crawl under in the morning and check it out. Its a 1998.

 

Mine is 03 fx4. All fx4 have skid plates. Not sure what year started rancho shocks but mine has rancho

 

i think it has to do with the year because i have a 97 4x4 and i have front and gas tank skid plates

 

97-01 with the offroad package has skid plates..

02-03 is when they changed offroad package to FX4.. so if your truck is a 98, it's not a true FX4... but who cares.

 

oh i got ya and yes it does have the offroad package ..... what is the difference in a 4x4 with an offroad package and an fx4

 

From what I remember when I ordered my truck back in '02, the Package I ordered with XLT, 4x4 and al la carte the skid plates and tow package, I was able to get the 4.6 V-8 with a stick instead of paying $3k more for the FX off road package. The FX just had more of the nice options standard and the automatic trans and the 5.4 -V-8 and the Rancho shocks...

I did finally pick up the FX wheels for my truck. I had been wanting those since I got my truck.
