Carli back country 5.5 with Deaver rear springs and carli reservoir 2.0 shocks, carli stabilizer, extended brake lines and a few other carli front end parts.



Gonna change that front valance soon and change out the chrome F-250 fender badges to black.

They are doing it because Ford does it. I swear no truck is made to drive through a pasture anymore... Just let a truck be a truck.

My '21 Sierra has something like that but it's not really big enough to notice

It’s an air dam and it’s been on “new” trucks since at least 2014. Weirdly it gives you better wind resistance and supposedly a little bit better gas mileage.

They are added so that manufacturers can get their overall MPG numbers down to comply with the government regulations.

i would remove it as soon as you buy it, most trucks it’s super easy since they know no one wants it.

Was going to put the 2wd one on my 4wd f250 but the Prius catchers would show unless you grind/cut them. Didn’t feel like doing that much work.

Or does this mess up the engine cooling or the air flow to the radiator?



Helps mpg especially at high speeds.

A 1% (ballparking here) efficiency bump might not be noticed by an individual but is a big deal to overall fleet fuel consumption.

ETA I would much rather active air dams that lower at high speeds

Man, that is THE quintessential small pecker douche wagon

It checks all but one box, it just needs to be white.

Since they are two cylinder turbos now, they need all the air they can get.
