New 25 with dealer installed mods

[Shadow02]

Hey everyone,

I’ve had my 25 platinum for a week now. The dealership installed the Rough Country leveling kit and larger tires (Nitto Ridge Grappler P285/55R22). I’m loving it so far and wanted to share what these mods look like for anyone interested.

Thanks for the pics.
Does your Platinum have CCD suspension?

Did use the 1" leveling kit that I see on their website? Any rubbing with the larger tires?

Happy to share. It does not have the CCD suspension.

That is the one they used. Thankfully, no rubbing. Everything is working as advertised including my BlueCruise trial.

Can you share a side profile pic? What did the mods run you?

Beautiful truck! Congratulations and appreciate the pictures. That exterior is great looking and if I could swap out the dash and steering wheel, I would order one today.

Have you been able sit or drive in one? The setup for the dash is actually pretty well done. The wheel does feel weird to turn at first, it is more comfy to hold and rest your hand on.

I haven’t. But while I might be able to get used to the steering wheel and dash, the lack of physical buttons really turns me off.

Sure, buttons and switches can stop working too, but having the controls for just about everything on/within the screen worries me.

Sure. The tires are ~$2250 and the leveling kit is just $50. That doesn’t include installation.

Thanks! The dash is a big difference, but I like it and it didn’t take much time to get used to.

The new dash,displays, wheel, technology is outstanding. Very easy to use and natural for your eyes to glance and follow. Truck is fantastic! Both of us love it, have had about a month. Drove a new 2024 and it felt like my 2019 F150, layout,etc. BTW, I absolutely loved my 19 F150.
Great deals on 2024’s but they are 2024’s….. Wife pointed out that I would be disappointed in a few months if I didn’t get the 2025. It’s a massive upgrade to the 2024. She of course was right.

$19k for 3" lift, tires/wheels and some badging changes. Love the look but doubt I could recreate it. Theirs is 4x2 and no CCD suspension. I don't believe there are any 2" or 3" lift kits out yet for 2025 with CCD? Would love to lift and level my 2025 Platinum SPP.

Very nice! Are the Grapplers load rang E? How does it ride? I just put 285/45-22 BFG Trail Terrain TA's on my 2023 Stealth wheels Rides great

I assume those are factory wheels?
What did you do with the factory tires? Dealer keep them?

I agree. That’s a steep price for what you get. My dealer added about $4k on top of the MSRP of a Platinum Stealth Appearance package before we negotiated.

I haven’t seen a lift kit specifically for the ‘25 yet either. I’ve thought about upgrading the shocks eventually. I haven’t gotten to take it on some easy trails yet and see how I like it. For me, the suspension is fine around town, but not the CCD.

They are the factory wheels from the Stealth Appearance Package. Since the dealer made the mods before they sold it to me, they kept the tires.

Thanks! They are load range E. It’s rides well and they aren’t loud. My next set of tires will probably be a little less aggressive depending on how much I’m off road although I do like the look.

Did the 1 inch leveling kit change the ride quality?
