Alright, for the 2nd time this week I saw the new F-150 commercial. This commercial is about as hokey as ever, it shows an all black FX4 Supercrew pulling a semi off the ground. What im wondering about is, do the new 06 have a "factory leveling kit" on them, because this truck really does look level, also they show a front shot of it, and it looks beefier than hell. On another note, after TIVOing backwards and looking again, there is something in the bed, so maybe its just sagging, and because of that it looks level? Anyways what are everyone elses thoughts.

Thanks
Alex

 

I haven't seen the commercial myself, but if the truck is towing something then the back is going to be a little lower than if it were unloaded.

 

How is it pulling a semi off the ground, please explain a little more.

 

I beleave the F-150 is pulling a pully, that lifts the semi off the ground, than the F-150 drives underneath it, anything can be done with commericals....

 

It came on during the Steelers/Broncos game...I've seen it a couple times...it shows a SuperCrew FX4 pulling a semi truck above itself with a pulley system...it has the factory 20" wheel option...pretty cool commercial if you ask me...are we trying to say that our trucks are not level from the factory??? you mean the back is higher than the front???

 

hmm.....i think i saw this one, were they in a test lab or somthing....or was it out side by a tree?

 

I saw that one earlier. It has a pulley in the bed and lifts a peterbilt off the ground. Going on about all the pulling power the big 3v 5.4 has.

 

I have an 06' 4X2 XLT Screw and no it doesn't have a leveling kit. My truck still has a rake to it.

 

They only show 1 pulley in the commercial, but if you use enough pulleys hooked up correctly, a '77 Fiat could probably lift that semi.

 

77 Fiat could not lift even the pulley please

 

Yea thats when i saw it, during the game, I didn't know the 2006 have a 20 inch wheel option also. It looked a little more level than my 04 Supercrew Lariat. Anyways thanks for the response.

 

well the only reason I ask about the factory stance of these trucks is I do notice the back is a little higher than the front...and I've seen some people talking about leveling kits on here...what is it exactly? I'm new to these trucks and have no idea what is going on...I kinda wish I got the 20" wheels now after looking at them...I still like the factory 18's

 

There is no leveling kit on that truck. Just a huge weight in the bed that flatenes out the rake.

ive seen this comercial and another new one for the last 2-3 weeks Ithink during the football games. I thought there was some kind of mast on the bed*(like the kind boats/ships tie off too). That truck must really have some traction.

 

Don, these trucks come factory sitting lower in the front. Several companys make spacers to bring the front back up, to make the truck sit level.

I have the daystar on mine.
