Ragerjr, I have a 2012 XLT, 157", HD Payload + Max Tow combo. This truck was ordered because you won't find em like this on the lot (well there is a chance but dealers generally don't order em this way). This gives you the highest numbers you are going to get in a F-150. You get 7 lug wheels, LT tires etc right from the word go. Also beefed up rear end. Case in point when I drop my fifth wheel on it, I squat less than 2 inches.
Don't let those that will tell you the ride is stiff with a truck kitted out like this. The ride is outstanding. Don't get me wrong it doesn't carry itself like a Fusion; it's a wee bit stiffer than that.
Now if you are looking to add bling wheels you're outta luck; AFAIK there are very limited choices with wheels. This build is a TRUCK... Built to haul. Oh and if you buy one like this and 'lift' it I'll hunt you down..
Seriously though, if you want to haul larger rigs or get into the 5'r world this sort of build is what you want to go with. I'm not saying it can't be done on other builds, it definitely can as others have proved. This type of truck will allow you to do it on 100% OEM gear, no aftermarket mods needed.

I was planning on ordering it.
I use to own a F250 on 35" tires and a V10 in it. It would pull the world but I need a gas truck to pace me so I could get 100 miles down the road without a gas station. LOL
Is yours a 4x4? I did not see that in the write up.

Sorry, forgot to put that in, yes it is a 4X4. My family winter camps and being without 4X4 in the snow while towing is not wise.
Sounds like you're on the right track to me.

Pulled great, lots better than i was expecting, the weight police had me a tad worried. I wouldn't be afraid to head on a 1000 mile road trip. Didn't squat as bad as I figured either, wait till I get it loaded up with gear, Haha!
