Those are those awful SR-A's. They might be good down south, but they are positively horrid on any snow. I drove mine for a couple of months on the SR-A's until the first snow up here in WI. They were gone in a week after that experience. Worst tire on snow I have ever driven. I was able to get $100 per tire trade in and I was thrilled. Got a set of the silent armors, and never looked back.

I am also going to throw the BS flag on 17-18 city w/ 5.4. These are big heavy trucks that take a ton of energy to accelerate in city traffic. I am on my 3rd 5.4, and the best I ever got with a super cab is 19.8 on a long highway trip with a stiff tailwind across the plains. I normally got around 14-15 combined city/hwy.

Cant wait for an EB. My 2010 is gone as soon as I see one on the lot.

It all depends how you drive the vehicle. I try not to accelerate too fast when I drive unless in an emergency. I drove 4 hrs on the highway and I got 20.5 mpg the whole way going 70 mph, no BS!

It sounds like you have the same banshee as me, which is odd :0
Do you have this one?



I put chrome LED head lights on it. That is my latest upgrade. This is what it looks like with the LED's





I hate to say it but It has been almost two years since I have riden it. I moved to Texas a year and a half ago and haven't found any people that ride. Also I am in the military so I am always deploying to different places. It's hard to find time to ride.
Holy chit, I have the same Quad!! I cannot post pictures for some reason, but yeah, mine is identical to yours!!

Ok now that's really odd lol! I have only seen one more quad like mine since 2002 when the 2003 limited came out. Now there's three of us on here with the same quad. Post pics when you can.

I got 20.2 the other day on a long stretch of road doing 50-55 and I usually get 16.4-17.5 on the highway doing 70. I would say around town and on how I am driving it is about 15.5 avg. This is all true if the computer is accurate? But to tell the truth, I could care less, it is what it is, my truck is not a daily driver anyway.

There has to be a code for the pic that begins with [IMG] and ends with [/IMG]. If you create an account with photobucket.com then it is really easy to post pics on the forum.

The trailor brake controler came built in from the factory. It comes with the tow package for the FX4.

not quite if you got the tow package = 2"class 3 receiver with both the flat 4 pin and the round 7 pin plugs in the rear. then yes it can be added but you will need to see a dealer to have it flashed once its in!

i have a tow package on my truck, just not the whole deal you can get from ford. i think there is another package that allows you to have the inside controller. i have the class 3 reciever, it came on the truck.
