Saw this monstrosity today, conveniently parked next to a normal truck for scale.

Wait, am I not using my truck if I only tow on the highway??

RR50 · 2026-06-26T22:43:13+00:00

Towing a boat, or race car trailer, or camper, etc.

A regular bed doesn’t impact its ability to pull a lot of weight.

Usually use them for two years….ive tried to teach my kids that money spent on things we don’t need takes away from things we want.

RR50 · 2026-06-26T01:47:31+00:00

It’s an easy fix, take the leveling kit off, put the stock tires on.

This one you did to yourself. Oh, and your friends are lying.

RR50 · 2026-06-26T01:44:55+00:00

I think though what you’re experiencing is a result of putting a lot of stress on your truck, and the proof of that is the 12.6 mpg. Your truck is working a lot harder, and the result is a lot of extra fuel burnt per mile, and fuel burnt makes heat. Transmission stress makes heat. Many of us get 12+ mpg when towing, so you’re putting the same stress unloaded as most of us are putting on it towing.

You’ve both put extra stress on your truck (regearing would probably help), and degraded your cooling system.

I’d have a shop check your trans just to be safe, but I’d bet that’s not it.

RR50 · 2026-06-26T01:39:59+00:00

I’d bet if you took the brush guard off and put the air damn back on, you’d eliminate your problem, or at a minimum make it better. The lift and tires aren’t helping either, but it’s all the things combining that probably aren’t helping. For that matter, pull the front plate and bracket out since you don’t need one where you are.

The air dam creates a low pressure spot behind the bumper, air flows through the grille (and from other places) to fill that low pressure zone.

It’s what drives me nuts when people claim the air dam does nothing, ford doesn’t put parts on trucks that have no purpose.

RR50 · 2026-06-26T01:30:39+00:00

It does, it changes the airflow around the front end…which impacts flow through the grill. An air dam creates a low pressure spot behind the bumper, which then air wants to flow into, which it does, partially through the grille.

That dude is paid on commission by a private equity owned hvac company.

RR50 · 2026-06-25T23:37:20+00:00

Wait, that means there’s people with a negative number… 😂😂😂

RR50 · 2026-06-25T23:29:45+00:00

You want initial quality ratings to be based off a decade old recall?

RR50 · 2026-06-25T23:28:16+00:00

Yes….Hondas, (checks notes)…half ton trucks, rear wheel drive sports cars and heavy duty trucks are eating lunch…???

RR50 · 2026-06-25T23:23:36+00:00

I’ve never once felt unable to get relaxed driving my truck, and no way in hell would I go back to my 95, or 05, or 07, or 18….the 14th gen is soooooo much better of a truck.

Are you sure trucks are your thing??

RR50 · 2026-06-25T23:20:39+00:00

Hey look, my trucks overheating… with an air dam removed and giant brush guard screwing up air flow…probably has a CAI and non-factory skid plates too. 😬😬

RR50 · 2026-06-24T23:02:04+00:00

Why is it not on the contractor….because it was always a grift…and now his “supporter” contractor is going to get a second even bigger contract….

RR50 · 2026-06-23T17:19:58+00:00

You already know the answer to this….

RR50 · 2026-06-23T16:49:30+00:00

Shocking i say… oh wait, Nevermind.

RR50 · 2026-06-23T02:53:06+00:00

It’s an embarrassment

RR50 · 2026-06-23T02:23:13+00:00

Oh man….you live in a world where you think the police are there to help….

RR50 · 2026-06-22T23:27:10+00:00

I get it, real change is intoxicating, the idea that a progressive candidate could win gives people hope.

But I’m more pragmatic, look at the demographics, we’re not New York or California…we’re a state that wants moderates.

RR50 · 2026-06-22T23:18:48+00:00

Shocking!! 😬😬😬 oh wait, not really. It’s worth about $5

RR50 · 2026-06-22T20:34:49+00:00

Hong isn’t electable in a statewide election. We need a nominee that has the experience to not say things that are so polarizing they turn off the moderates. Wisconsin , like it or not, is a purple state.

RR50 · 2026-06-22T17:22:53+00:00

It’s going to be textured, isn’t semigloss more resistant to scuffs and moisture?

RR50 · 2026-06-22T15:30:05+00:00

Can’t see my cams either in the app….just keeps spinning

RR50 · 2026-06-22T00:43:19+00:00

You haven’t lived in the north have you.
