Trump is not happy to hear they are moving production of small cars to Mexico.

Heard on the way home they are investing over a billion in the new plant. Remember a modern production plant also has lots of skilled techs and engineers keeping those lines running. Loosing those positions to.

Got mine 2 weeks ago gutted and stripped from frame down immediately... all custom 12" lift with coil overs designed fabricated, built and powdercoated done. Riding on 40s pictures to come...

JW owns www.aboveaveragetrucks.com and this is the one he mentions above.

Of course he lifts everything:

40 Toyos on 24x14 American Force Wheels

Love that color. Loading up the bikes in the back even for me at 6'5" would be a stretch LOL

I hear you on that. I do some scouting on where I plan to load/unload bikes on Google Earth and the like in my destinations or transition areas. I have located a loading dock near where we stay in Key West where I can back the truck up, and use no ramps. Same thing in my backyard, as I have an old Civil War mound (from when troops buried in for an ambush), where I will ride the bike up on the mound, then back the truck up to it. Looking for ditches and elevation changes in parking lots is key.

That's a good looking F150! :party-smiley-004::poopoo:

Mine arrived this morning, picking it up tonight.

Just ordered 9/30 a F350 Black Platinum Ultimate SRW shorty. Can't wait to see what the P-29
looks like behind it.

How long did it take to get it? Where was it built?

I placed my order on 6/20 and I think it went into production the first week of August, so it was a little over 3 months start to finish. Mine came out of the Kentucky plant.

:d.....................

That is one mean looking truck. Im going to buy a new Chevy or Ford probably next year. Not quite ready to get rid of my Ol' Betsy Silvy SS and step up yet.

Or a big ass folding 15' ramp LOL. I would probably lift 4", maybe 6". Guess it depends if you want to run 35s or 7s. Up here lifted trucks are not legal and if you go to big they will just pull your sticker and you are SOL. You can get away with 4" but after that you are just asking for a Trooper to give you a rash of S**t

F'ing REDNECK!!! LOL

What is the reasoning for making reasonably lifted trucks illegal?

Too dangerous to all the Priuses in Left dominated states

Another one belonging to Sleeveless Redneck's buddy:
(this is the first SRW longbed I've seen, and I like it quite a bit)

Build them in KY, like the jelly

Take off your sleeves and take off your factory suspension. All part of being a poor uneducated redneck !!

LMAO. I need that laugh today.

It looks like Ford still hasn't fully baked (pun intended) their DPF system, even on this 2017:

In all seriousness, what's causing these DPF fires on Fords?

It doesn't sound like Cummins or Duramaxs are having this problem. DPF fires have been blamed for quite a few grass/brush fires, and if you were stuck in traffic next to Corvette or another car without a metal body, you would literally catch the car on fire (aside from just doing paint damage or perhaps melting a bumper).

Ford doesn't have dpf fires! This was one above got a def tank full of diesel. I believe the dealer did it and bought it back. I'm really surprised this truck would run with the exhaust that hot too. These trucks shut down instantly if there is a egt sensor failure or exhaust issue.

Are you kidding all I have to do is put Diesel in my def tank? What about 110 race gas. Way Cool!! You tube here I come......

Correct, exactly right.

Thank you for sharing. I see how that could cause the problem, but didn't know anyone was actually that stupid. I could see how a lot porter, or even one of the full service attendance in NJ figure out a way to mess that up.

I've never been to a truck stop in NJ. Do they have mandatory full service for big rigs there too?

Dealer text me my build date 11/15 and vin # hopefully I'll have it by the first of December. When do you guys think I will take delivery?

Could be mid december depends on transportation.....

Just hauled a tractor about 150 miles. 12,000 lb trailer Did OK. Rear is a little soft but I'm adding bags as soon as the kit is available. I did have to gusset the stock hitch though. The hitch flex on my first tow was way too crazy. Just two short pieces of 3" channel. 3 hrs drop the hitch, weld er up, back up and bolted on.

If people just took them off and put them in the attic they wouldn't be a fire risk....

well after he a hawing traded the 16 dmax all lifted on forces . . for the for new 17 drw sema kilderman build that was headed to sema . truck looks bad ass .. ill post pics when my boy pics it up this coming week the truck is on kildermans website . truely bad to bone truck .. can pull way more than stock payload with the four corner bags lift too .. i cant wait to see it in person ....id like to say i loved the denali drw also .

Something that just came to my attention a few weeks ago: the long bed trucks now have a 4" longer wheelbase. They slid the rear axle back, all varieties of long bed trucks; regardless of cab and SRW/DRW configs.

It definitely looks different, maybe even a little "off".
I'm curious about three things for those of you guys in the know:

1) WHY exactly did they do this?
2) How is city driveability? Does the longer wheelbase hurt turning and maneuverability? (I have not dug up turning radius specs yet.)
3) How it towing with the longer wheel base? Longer wheel bases typically
4) Where do you put the center of the 5th wheel/Gooseneck hitch now? Do you center it in the bed, or put it directly over the rear axle?

This video makes it look like the 5th wheel might be a shade ahead of the rear axle.
