New Ford 1/2 ton trucks

In all seriousness, if you aren't yet decided on a tire with that level, might I suggest the Cooper AT3 XLT in 285/75r17.

Good looker, aggressive tread but every bit as quiet as stock. Fill up the wheel well on a level nicely, 10 ply and my 5.0 does 19-20mpg on the road with them depending on weather/wind (far cry from the 15-17 with my old 315/70 Cooper discoverers).

Pops like them so much he bought a set for his f350.

I have that very tire on my 350 Platinum. They are quiet,Have a nice tread and ware nicely. We get a lot of snow and I was equally impressed with the sipe and grip even better than the BF/AT I had before. I will buy them again.

On a half ton it's pretty hard to beat General AT2's. Long life, little noise and great traction.

I don’t think they’ll fit a 20” rim

Pics or it didn’t happen! That doesn’t specify color

Nice looking truck. I think you’ll enjoy it. The leveling kit will make it look even better. One of the first things I did to my F350.

Just ordered bags and compressor too..

Return it. You got 3 days to change your mind. The beautiful part about on board GPS at least with mine is it tells you what lane to be in across the dash when your hitting a major city during rush hour with a 30' trailer behind you. I wouldn't go without.

Nah, it’s all there they just have to add a couple things is my understanding.

 

[JTW]

Never used them before but we’ll see how it does..

No.. I think they do HD trucks in one and escapes in the other plant.. 2 in Louisville, but this came from Dearborn

Don't recall seeing this in the meme dump previously but did enjoy

That’s awesome! You’ll like that as well. Those are great for any truck that’s hauling imo.

I was just going to say that. There made in the Rouge plant. I’ve ben there multiple times. It’s a classic plant and one of the original plants for Ford. My 48’ 8N was made there and hell....the Dodge Brothers got there start there. If it wasn’t for old man Ford giving them a chance and work with there machine shop they may not have got to where they are today. Many Dodge lovers forget that when they cut up on Ford that’s one reason my engineer friend at the Chrysler PG’s has nothing but good things to say about Ford.

How so?
Not doubting, but I was unaware of the Dodge brothers being anything but a parts supplier for Ford (and olds before that).

Bicycles were the first vehicles produced by the Dodge brothers. In 1901 they opened a machine shop in Detroit, making stove parts and, later, auto parts. The Dodge Brothers Company in 1910 established a large auto-parts plant in Hamtramck, Michigan. There the brothers made engines and other auto parts for the Ford Motor Company and for Olds Motor Works.

Ok...now it makes sense. Since Ford owner's needed a bike to ride home when they broke down, Ford was "helping" Dodge brothers sell bikes.

Pretty smart Genius,
Now are you ready to take those training wheels off?

Probably came nav ready. Ram does that, then soaks you $700 to download the program.

Dodge still uses stove parts in their trucks. Lol
