One of the features I love on the truck is the cooled seats, but Ford over engineered the system and had some useless replaceable filters for the fan. They don't do anything but restrict airflow, so at some point they revised the part so it just is a plastic protector. I bought and installed the protector style filter today.

Fart filter?

Went out and drove the same road I took the Outback on last Nov with several friends today. Truck did great, no scrapes or dragging the airdam or bumper.

Honestly surprised you took her on some of those trails. Glad to see you did though.

Yeah but I figured if an Outback could do it then there's no reason not to. Biggest concern with it is the approach angle because of the factory air dam and the break over angle due to the long wheel base. Otherwise it has some really good hardware, good crawl ratio, and 9.75 rear end with locker.

With ford releasing the final specs and details of the new F150 today I went and built one to just replace what I currently have... $59,800 and with trading in my current truck I could have a nice 60mo loan at $610/MO :eek:

I mean, average new car price for Ford in 2020 has been $44,205 with $37,851 for the industry. So that really isn't all that surprising.

Better mpg, higher payload and towing capacity, newer version of sync, fancier more modern toys, etc. Nothing really worth it
