You donĀ“t know if its got an aluminum bed:light:. + the amount of damage the plastic liners did to steel beds would be worse with soft aluminum.

I got the F-150 4x4 with the 3.6L twin turbo, the midrange power is much more instantaneous than the V-8. The Tow/Haul mode works great for braking also. Awesome gas mileage. 83 mph cruise @ 2000 rpm in 6th gear. The back up camera and and dial based trailer steer function is a godsend for trailers you can't see too.

Just curious, I drive to Chacala all the time without a lifted vehicle, where in Nayarit would you even need a baby monster truck? How many inches ground clearance do you have?
I am in Guayabitos, maybe get together for a beer sometime.......


It is not lifted. The back is the same height.
Where did you get the idea it is lifted?

The front is now level with the rear.

I have a solar installation under way in Guayabitos.

Have we met?

I will be up there next week.




Sorry,I thought you wrote "I am looking to do a very small lift, 2.5" or so... I don't want a giant lift.

So would not that mean it would be lifted?

No we have not met, I am selling my house in Guayabitos and will be down at the end of the month..
