I have exactly 6" clearance on the bedrails. I would like more but it would make it all worse. My truck has 20's too, so I think it rides 1/2" higher then 18's.
The 2" out of level isn't even noticeable along the bedrails and over 40' it's not that bad. That's why I think lifting to the next bolt hole, for me, would make it a little above "good enough"
I am going to check the rig height myself to be sure how high I am.
The new truck tows much better then my 2012 did. I only took it around the block but I could instantly tell. The exhaust brake is a great addition and works well with the adaptive cruise. Along with the tow/haul feature you pretty much don't even need trailer brakes. Lol.
I love the auto tailgate. I don't have to get out to drop it when backing up to hook up.
The CHMSL camera is good for lining up the hitch. The zoom works good. If the cameras were high def like my 2012, it would be way better. The picture quality of the cameras I have are not very good.
The real annoying part is, after you unhook (and I have three different trailers) you need to select "no active trailer" in the tow menu or your choice of default screen won't come back and you will keep clicking off miles on the selected trailer's odometer. Which, if you are trying to keep track of the trailers miles, makes this awesome feature useless.
To top it all off, if you notice while driving, you can't get to that menu to change back until the truck stops moving.
The BLIS only works for tow trailers up to 30'. It won't work with 5th wheels, but it works great with my 16' enclosed trailer.
The seats are a crap shoot if your back gets along with them. A lot of people are complaining. One guy says he's selling his truck this weekend (1100miles) he can only last 30mins. I can go about an hour..then it's getting not so good. After 2 hours I have to get out.
Pretty much the same complaint from everyone. Stinging back pain and pain shoots down your legs.
I'm not sure if it's just in the massaging seats or not. But nothing helps. I'm hoping these thing break in soon.
Did you get the trailer camera/TPMS option?
If you did, as stock, the wire plugs into the bumper. This system is not 5th wheel friendly. No 5ver wants a wire hanging across the gap between the trailer and truck. And if you can manage to fish the wire all the way to the pinbox, then you have to go over the tailgate down to the bumper. But fear not... it irked a metal fab guy off so much he designed a bracket and a harness extension so 5vers can have the double plug in the box where it should be by Ford.
Here's my new towing hitch. I don't like the slop of the 2 adapters to get the shank back to 2". So 3" it is!
It's good for 21000lbs.
And if you like to put your safety chains in backwards, you can't anymore. They will only go in forwards and that's a even a little snug
