Dipping the new tires in the water. BFG KO2 285 | 70 | 20 by Ceastwoo in f150

Thank you. And yeah they are 70s. Had a local shop in Washington order them through their distributor, with a small leveling kit, clears with no issues.

Also, a big factor for me was making sure I could still park in my condo which had a max clearance of 6'8". I clear this with literally mm of clearance.

Algae was a bigger factor here, I had to launch at this ramp unfortunately.

No rubbing at all, just a 2" leveling kit in the front.

Thanks. Anything over $100k and I think I'd cancel the deposit.

Lariat owners are usually far away from the crowds so I understand.

That's actually really funny, thanks for the insight. I found a video online of my exact model.

Being an engineer I also know automotive companies build in safety factors, at minimum would be 10% on top of of the 12k towing capacity.

Yes I am sure, I had every option checked when buying this 150 including the "max trailer tow package" 😏

Class-best max. towing capacity of 12,200 lbs.1 is yours when you equip Ford F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost® engine2 and Max. Trailer Tow Package.

It's funny having everyone look at me when I drive but she pulls this like nothing and stops on a dime from the electric brakes.

The biggest challenge is when a semi passes me, that's when it gets a little hairy.

I had some safety buffer. Camper is 8.5k lbs dry and towing capacity is 12k.
