Not sure what all the hubub is with the pano-sunroof, but I love my 2019 FX-4 with HD tow and REAL All Terrain tires, not the BS Euro-metric all season ones they come with. Real transfer case with High and Low gears, no 4A (auto). If you want a 4x4, get the FX-4, if you want a comfortable highway cruiser that can handle a flat dirt road, get any other option package. IMO, of course.

I'm still quite bitter with FoMoCo, and to some extent, the haters in the owners community on FB that bashed me for "complaining" about the incorrect tires supplied with the FX-4 option package. I'm a happy owner of the vehicle itself, in spite of Ford Motor Company and the haters on FB who felt I should be blamed for wanting exactly what ALL the sales and marketing material says the package includes - All Terrain tires. Even Michelin agreed they were not AT tires until FoMoCo set them straight, presumably. Ford sufficiently ignored my plea's. The dealer essentially split the cost with me to put on a set of KO2's. I will tell this story for the rest of my life. Thanks FoMoCo - NOT!

I have both a 18-Platinum Expedition and a 19-F150 LTD, both have sun roofs/vistas. No issues with either unit.

Totally agree! I had to argue this more than I should have as well. It took months, but eventually Ford caved and paid the dealer to put on a set of Wranger Adventure A/T Kevlar. They’re on par with my expectations for an OEM A/T tire. What load rating did you get for yours? I don’t think the KO/2’s are available in the 116 load rating...

I got the E rated ones. They are probably overkill for my day-to-day, but after working with BF Goodrich on the correct inflation to match the OEM load ratings etc, running them at 50psi versus the 80psi on the sidewall makes all the difference. Also have a friend with a yoda that eats these tires if not properly inflated for the OEM load, so I'm also confident the wear pattern is correct and won't get cupping or inside/outside over-wear due to suspension specs. I didn't go as far as the chalk test, but close lol. I rotate every oil change to keep things evenly wearing as well.
