The same thing basically happened to me. I ended up ordering exactly what I wanted and while it sucked that I had to wait 3.5 months, I'm so glad I got the JT I wanted with no compromises.
I don't know what's most popular...but I know I wanted Gobi or Stingray. There were zero of either available and I custom ordered the Stingray...super happy with my choice.
I drove my 2015 F150 on 87 Octane for 5 years, zero problems. You're right that eventually there will be more maintenance costs but I guess it depends how long you keep your ride. For me personally I never keep one longer than 5-6 years.
How long has it been since you drove a turbo? My old Ford 2015 3.5 Ecoboost had mountains of torque right from the get go. Turbo lag is a thing of the 80's. That said, in my books the perfect engine for the JT would be the 5.7 Hemi. It would probably get similar mileage to the 3.6, have way...
My dealer ordered a new cable that connects the antenna to the stereo head, it should be here next week.
Now that I've played with it more, the FM wasn't as good as it should be either.
500 miles on a tank...with the 3.6??? I know I'm running 37's with 4.10 gears but even with the stock 33's I don't see any way I'm getting anything close to that. I currently get around 300 miles with 37" tires.
That looks really sweet, I've seen the Exodus YouTube videos it looks like they do good work. I guess my question is why doesn't anyone do a swap with the 5.7 Hemi? It's a lighter engine, better mileage and still gets 395HP and 410ft lbs torque. It seems to me like that would be a better...
Wow, I didn't know this....that sucks. I planned a road trip down to Utah with my family once the Corona thing clears up and the borders are open. I can't imagine having the tranny die or something and not being covered.
Just a suggestion...but the shop I bought my 37" tires from used balancing beads to balance my tires. I was skeptical but they worked perfectly, smooth ride.
What offset are you running on the wheels? I just got pulled over for speeding (my fault) and the cop then started busting my balls about my tires. 'So, why would you put these big tires on your truck, is it cus you think it looks cool or something?' Right away I knew the guy was a total dick...
Extended warranties are almost always a waste of money. The only reason dealers sell them is because they make money off of them. My dealer tried to convince me to buy based on 'all the electronics' in the vehicle. If something electrical is going to go it will 90% of the time happen in the...
Mine did the exact same thing and when I gave her $hit for it she got mad at me and said, 'it's not going to break anything'. I literally thought she would shatter the glass (window was rolled down) she slammed it so hard.
So...I have a 2020 JT Rubicon with the upgraded 8.4 head unit. For some reason I have decent FM reception but almost zero AM reception. In the middle of Vancouver/Burnaby where I commute I can't get a single station...just static noise or sometimes a hint of a signal. Any other radio would...
