    running out of rebound travel

    Thanks for the suggestion on the brakes. The 3.5L ecoboost is a nice powerplant. Every once in a while I toy with the idea of turbocharging my 2013.

    running out of rebound travel

    Nah. I've been rotating the tires with each oil change since the vehicle was new. I am familiar with how many clicks I need on the jack stands to get the vehicle high enough to remove the wheels. After installing the bilsteins I had to raise the vehicle higher than I've ever had to in the...

    running out of rebound travel

    I have a 2013 XLT 4x4 that I've owned since new. One thing I had noticed was that the vehicle would easily run out of rebound travel while driving through intersections at city speeds. It was incredibly harsh. I'm not sure if Ford intentionally limited rebound to keep driveshaft angles low...

    integrated trailer brake controller help!!!

    Just curious: did you ever get this working? I have a 2013 xlt 4x4 without the 7 pin connector. The dealer added all the HD tow parts including the 7 pin connector but could not get the ITBC to work. Apparently, the wiring wasn't the issue. The ITBC powered up and could be interrogated with...

    HD towing worth it?

    Well, now the dealer is claiming the integrated brake controller cannot be added. This is all pretty frustrating. I'm now waiting to hear back after I expressed my displeasure. I had been told when I purchased the vehicle that it had the HD towing option and only agreed to pay the $570 as a...

    HD towing worth it?

    Awesome! Thanks for the heads up. I did not know that was part of package. I really need to buy the service manual. I hope they don't start balking when they realize just how much work they agreed to.

    HD towing worth it?

    Haha. Just waiting to hear back about scheduling a time. They are also replacing 2 tires that were damaged in transport.

    HD towing worth it?

    Thanks for all the feedback. Yup a good wdh is on the list of things to get. I have almost a spare no expense attitude to this toe rig which is why I was considering spending more on aftermarket if there was some benefit to doing so.

    HD towing worth it?

    Thanks for the feedback. From a cost perspective I'd be hard pressed to beat the dealer offer. I don't have any experience towing beyond pulling a U haul trailer with surge brakes. I wasn't sure if there was some feature that aftermarket brake controllers provided that would be pretty handy...

    HD towing worth it?

    I just purchased a new 2013 4wd XLT. The dealer is willing to install the HD tow package for the cost of the option ($570). The alternative is for me to install the stuff on my own possibly using aftermarket versions of the radiator, tranny cooler and brake controller for improved performance...
