    Nice Video.....agree.....you made some great points. There is some junk and great quality aftermarket parts. Doing too much with cosmetics can really mess up the aesthetics of a truck.

    Hey man, really like your videos. I just noticed the American flag is displayed incorrect. Nothing personal, I'm just an old Jarhead. When hanging on a wall, the stars are always on the top left when viewed. Semper Fi.

    I couldn’t agree more with the 3ft of tire poke on some of these fellers rigs. Of course there’s no way it can go thru PA state inspection like that 🫢. I definitely don’t like bed stacks that belch black clouds and covers the rest of the truck in soot.

    The FX4 decal is a must delete. I drove from dealer straight to my wrap guy and had it removed. Looks awesome without it...looks cheap with it. Just my opinion. Love your videos though...keep them coming.

      @@tominaklan9702 I will check Hammers video out. I have always used Rust-Oleum brown primer (after light sanding) then follow up with Rust-Oleum gloss black which turns satin to matte after driving in rain a couple of times. Paint applied with a brush...great coverage...a pain...but easier setting axles on jack stands and removing rims and tires. The brush marks disappear in a few days. In addition, I have removed the shocks...sanded then had a friend who owns a body shop base and clear coat Oxford White (color of pervious Super Duty trucks). I now have a 2022 F350 Lariat Tremor - Carbonized Gray and plan to install a Carli suspension in the future.

      No colored undercarriage lights on my 2022 F350 Lariat 7.3L - UP - BAP - Tremor Package with Warn 12,000 LB winch. My truck is used to tow gooseneck and bumper pull trailers.......and it gets off-road in the mud and snow. It is not a Jeep Wrangler, but the truck can go several places when needed.....but never around brush and trees to get scratched up.

  • @Squanto9
    @Squanto9 Рік тому +2

    I agree except for the FX4 stickers. The FX4 option cost like $450 and consisted of skid plates ($100) and something else that was maybe $150 so having the FX4 sticks means you paid like $200 for the stickers. My truck only has the 4x4 stickers with the other FX4 options and saved the $200. The red 4x4 stickers look good on my Atlas Blue truck but I can see other colors, particularly red, where they look like some odd extension of the tail lights. As for chrome, more please.

    • @theroyboys2
      @theroyboys2 Рік тому

      FX4 includes skid plates, shock absorbers, and hill descent control. On my truck it was a $400 option (more now). Think it's one of the more reasonably priced options compared to others for the price.

    • @Squanto9
      @Squanto9 Рік тому

      @The Roy Boys No different shocks in 22. Maybe in prior years. Hill Decent control can be turned on in Forescan and then maybe $30 for the button. HD only works to 20 MPH anyway, so no thanks. I'll use the diesel engine breaking.

    • @theroyboys2
      @theroyboys2 Рік тому

      @Squanto9 I'm not sure on the shock differences...thats just what was listed. I haven't seen where the skid plates could be had for $100 now... plus the cost of your time for the install should be considered. As far as the HDC...in the instances HDC would be used (for example, holding 5mph descending a logging road), the benefit of engine braking would be negligible and vice-versa. They're kind of two different beasts...although I do use the engine braking significantly more on a day to day basis.

    I totally agree with you 💯 % could not have said it better. Taking all your chrome off is crazy and besides chrome in 2023 is now back in. Went to sema this year here in vegas and most of all the custom trucks were loaded with chrome especially wheels. I went to discount tire to buy some 35 Falken tires and noticed all the display wheels were chrome asked my sales guy and he said Black is out and chrome is back in black had a good run for like 7 years hell I had black rims on my jeep grand cherokee too. Don't get me wrong I like the black wheels but on silver gray or white especially white chrome looks better in my opinion. I'm with you I leave all my badging on I'm proud to own a Ford I want people to see it's a ford pickup. I think maybe guys with chevy or dodge truck's should be taking off their badging...Just kidding! I love chevy and dodge I just happen to own Ford right now. I also think your right on with the wheel spacing too if it's your everyday driver leave it alone don't need to be kicking up rocks and everyone else's ride and cracking their windshields. Great video Hammerdown.
