I absolutely LOVE the 11th gen body style. Unfortunately a majority of them around here have been abused or have frame rot issues. But occasionally I see a nice one and get really excited lol.

Man that’s a beautiful truck. The 4X4 stickers matching the two tone is a really clean look.

Thanks brew! I actually really like the red. Better than fleet truck white lol. Looked at a few white 12th gens but they were pretty rusty.

Just got back from the shop, turns out it’s a 4WD actuator on the drivers side. It’s completely toasted lol. Luckily it is under warranty so I’ll be getting it replaced soon. I ordered a new wheel stud from the local dealer because I replaced one a few months ago but it was a cheap aftermarket from advance and it’s pretty loose. So the 4X4 should be up and operating correctly soon! I don’t really use it unless the weather is really bad so she’ll be being used as a 2WD for the next few days.

Grabbed some old tires to set my engine on while I was there. They have a huge dumpster stacked full of nothing but tires. Accumulated over the last 7 years I believe.

they are few and far between. Other than the raptor. The funny thing was, and stupid, the 6.2 was never offered on the king ranch. It was optional on Lariat, Platinum and Limited. Standard on Harley Davidson and raptor. I don't think many dealers kept many in stock. Tbh I'd say those who have a 6.2 f150 wouldn't let it go for nuthin'

I do too. The interior couldn't be designed better. You know 11th and 12th gens are virtually the same truck besides SOME updates? Mainly technology. Many parts from the two are exchangable

That’s pretty weird. Yeah if I had one I’d probably hang on to it for dear life too lol.

I did know that they were very similar. The dash, doors, and mirrors looked very close to identical to me. Also I’m pretty sure the beds are interchangeable but I think you have to mess around with the wiring harness for the taillights to work right.
