Have the same truck. 3 weeks now and loving it. I did go with the darker tint for the front Windows, makes it blend slot better with the rear. I also got the level kit on it. Looks great. Fyi
I have a white 2014 F 150 Limited. Just replaced my brake rotors and calipers. Was having issues with Ford service so did work myself. Ford had replaced front caliper for hanging up. I had it in 2 times after to service brakes. When I replaced with Power Stop driiled and slotted rotors and red calipers. $1200 for parts. New caliper was hanging up. Turned out to be brake hose so replaced both front hoses. No problems the last 8 months. I live in Michigan so instaled Weather Tech no drill mud flaps and have Michelin Defender tires. Your truck looks amazing.
This is a Retrax bed cover. It’s one of the best covers you can get on any truck. Good to see Ford installing these covers instead of the huge horrible fiber glass covers. BTW, you can get tons of accessories for the bed cover like bike mounts or racks. That’s what the rails are for. 😁 Enjoy this beauty 👍🏻
@@ramolifee you can go to Retrax.com They have a complete guide for the accessories compatible with your cover. You can check Yakima Accessories, Rhino-Rack, Front Runner Outfitters and Thule Accessories. All of them provide bed accessories for the cover.
I have exact same '21 F150 Ltd. Went with Fox 2.0 level kit and 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers on factory rims (Ford dealer installed - no rubbing). Looks 10x better and rides great. Adds mud, sand, snow utility to a urban classy truck. Oh and wheel well liners another must.
Thanks for the video and keep em coming. Mine came with the matching tint on the front and back and I love it. You got a great deal with the spray in bed liner and cover. I paid $79K and didn’t get either.
If you get a leveling kit keep us posted on whether or not you notice a difference in ride quality. I'm considering doing the same thing on my '21 Platinum but don't want to negatively affect the ride quality. I'd recommend the Ready Lift leveling kit if you do!
Don’t level it. Leave it alone. I’ve got one just like yours. I love it. You might want to try an eye brow on your front windshield and go darker on the front side windows. To the windshield as dark as the front side windows , make them all as dark as your rear windows. !!!! Will really look good and you will love the look of it. Good luck 9:56
You lucky son a gun! You definitely worked hard to get that amazing truck so congrats! I’m going to get a lariat and I’m definitely changing the antenna now.
I have the same Star white 21 limited. Same tonneau cover too! I just dropped mine off yesterday for 2.25” leveling kit, and tires one size up…34” instead of 33” to help fill in the wheel well.
@@ramolifee yes sir keeping factory rims. 2.25” level looks great, fuel usage not even noticeable, maybe .5 less if that. Doing a 34” or 35” tire today will see how the test fit goes
I have the “Cheaper” 2021 FX4 XLT, the FOX 2.0 Suspension Leveling kit was a must for me. I wanted the more aggressive Look for both On and Off Road. Better Ride then that Factory Shocks too when you go to a poorer State/City with all those pot holes. Nice Truck You got there, still.
These trucks are amazing! I leveled my ‘18 platinum and it was awesome! Only thing I would recommend is get your headlights adjusted. Seems like every car would flash their high beams at me. As far as windows, I went the 3M ceramic limo tint on the back, and 5% on the front. It is a lifesaver with keeping the heat out here in Bakersfield.
@@ramolifee on my 2018 I went with a cheap 2” leveling kit that I got from Les Schaub. I wouldn’t do that again though. I would go with the ready lift (as suggested). I went with bigger tires, I believe 35/285/R20 Toyo. Those tires are no longer in stock.
Recommend rear will liners. Notice above the back tires, the paint is not finished. The well liners are relatively inexpensive and make wheel wells look better and easier to clean. Also, mud flaps. These keep gravel, etc. from chipping paint on the lower panel. I preferred the Ford products over WeatherTech. Both are easy to self-install. Plenty of RU-vid videos on installing these.
You have to level it. Raising the front gives you the same clearance underneath but either one looks good. My 2018 king ranch with stock wheels look awesome
I tinted my rear doors 45%, rear 55%, side windows 20%, windshield 70%, moonroof 35% with premium ceramic Xpel XR tint. Moonroof is perfect, not too dark at all with 35%
Don’t mess with the front. A lot more hassle with alignments and such. Just pull out your rear factory block for a reverse level. Don’t loose mpgs and it’s easier to load things in the bed.
My Limited came with "Limited" floor mats with "Limited" embossed on stainless steel on the edge. I see yours has "F-150"? I have the 4X4 PowerBoost, the "PowerBoost" badge on the passenger side came in very crooked. I decided just to remove both of them to give it a clean look. I ordered the Max Recline seats, I like the shoulder adjustment and the looks of the seats. Because I use the back of my truck I need all the space I did a very nice soft trifold cover, I absolutely love, and waterproofed the rear by the ford seal for the tailgate and the bed stays very dry. I did also ceramic tinted my sunroof and it sure helps with heat a lot, you still get lots of light, 35 same as the driver doors. I tow my Airstream Camper so I also Installed RoadMaster Active suspension. I have used this in all of my previous F150s it's great for towing. Therefore I need the rake of the truck for towing. The auto adjusting headlights are nice especially when towing, I don't drive much at night but a very nice feature. I also installed the Ford splash guards to help keep the running boards clean and prevents stone flying into the Airstream. I special ordered it took 11 weeks to come in (I believe mine may have been one of the first shipped with the new batch of chips that came in). I was able to purchase on "X" plan and offered by one of the organizations I belong to, they also gave me additional cash back if I purchased before certain time after an event they held. $71,269 after all rebates, it was a good value as well. Traded my 2018 platinum F150 with 45,000 miles trade allowance was $49,000, I paid about $59K for it new. It had original tires etc. You will love your truck, enjoy!
Bro I got the same truck a few days ago and your video got recommended to me lol I'm in the valley too Stockton area . Definitely gonna do these upgrades that you mentioned.
I had a truck with a roll up bed cover like yours. The tubes you pointed out coming out of the bottom of the box that stores the bed cover they will clog with leaves, pine straw, and acorns. Not sure if the manufacturers have made the drain hole bigger so they could possible pass thru. After a rain or car wash, keep an eye on it to make sure it drains completely. Just a heads up! I love the look of the truck! I am looking for a new truck!
If you don’t want a lift and you don’t haul anything, do a reverse level. It lower’s the rear instead of lifting the front. Any lift will make the factory wheels and tires, specifically tire size, look off.
Which leveling kit did you go with? I have the same truck as well. I purchased a rear shackles kit and tried to install today and the bolts didn’t fit unfortunately.
I have the same truck only in Black. I love the retractable bed cover I have a folding one which I don’t care for seeing yours makes me want to get one. I have also thought about putting a levelling kit on but I am like you I do love the look of the truck as it is from the factory. Please let me know if you decide to get it done and what you think of it. I have always been partial to black but the white does look nice.
Congrats on your truck! I’ll definitely keep the channel posted! The bed cover is definitely the best I’ve seen compared to a few others but also quiet expensive. Thank you!
Hey man I iusy watched this video for the first time today I have a 17 continental and I did 50% ceramic on my windshield at 20% everywhere else and it's a night and day difference, for heat rejection and privacy.
@@ramolifee I can completely understand that. I have 15% in a carbon based tint on my fusion and never had any issues so going 20 and 50 didn't bother me as much. I did my panoramic sunroof as well. Clear visibility out on all angles at night.
Hey there, I am thinking of purchasing this trim level. This too would be my first pickup truck. You mentioned you had a “few bumps in the road” after you had purchased the truck. Would you mind elaborating on what those bumps were?
Hey so my parents just bought a brand new 2021 f150 platinum and we were on the highway and it would not up shift and the transmission was like grinding and the Ford thing came up and said that transmission down and it stopped on the highway
Yikes! That sounds terrible, I had a transmission scare on my last video but they were able to fix it through software. Hope things work out for you guys too
