I don’t know why but, when I saw the lifted black truck, I thought of the “Fall Guy” truck from the early 1080’s. That was one of my most favorite trucks. One cool setup on that black truck.
Biggest difference going from a leveled f150 to a maverick is how easy to access the bed. I usually dont used the bed of f150 for groceries etc just because how hard to reach in and trust me, they will roll to the very front.😅 I found myself using the bed of maverick a lot more. Probably also because i don't have a huge super crew back seat like the f150
Plans on doing any videos for the new 24 f150s with different leveling kits and what works best? Thinks about getting the puck but would like to see some content before making any decisions.
I'd love to see a 0-60 time between the 2 trucks. Stalk for stalk just pure suspension to see how that is affected as well. Besides that you answered alot of questions I had. Thank you for the awesome video!
Lowered. Usually lift kits stay soft, lowering gets stiffer. Stiffer will plant more power to the wheels and soft will absorb some of the hp. You also got aerodynamics as well going for the lowered truck. Also those tires on the black probably weigh a decent bit more so factor in rotating mass
The fuel consumption difference is roughly 10%. That over a year is a lot. You would be delighted if Ford upgraded their engines and improved economy by that amount.
The lowered truck will get slightly etter mpg. But youd lose all the savings in the work done. The lift will atleast allow you to get over larger obstacles. Also lowered truck cant haul as heavy due to clearance under load being to low. Unless you want to ride around on blocks of steel for suspension.
There’s different levels of lowered. Mild, moderate, and extreme. Extremely lowered is where the wheels are halfway covered by the fender wells. I think that is dumb. I personally wouldn’t do moderate lowered. I do mild lowered with at least a 2 inch bigger rim from factory rims, where I still have clearance to pull a trailer if needed. It takes out that hideous factory look and makes it even on the front and the back.
Okay did I miss something are they both four-wheel drive? Are they both same engine? Are they both final drivetrain ratio? What exactly is the comparison?
Everything is the same with one exception. The lifted truck is 4x4. The lowered truck is 2wd. Both vehicles have 5.0L. Both vehicles have 3.73 gears. Both vehicles have identical OEM options.
Are you selling the black single cab? I’m sold! Or can you build me THAT truck from your dealership and do the mods at TC?….. I’ll have it delivered to me here in CA. Love it!
I know my F-150’s AFE bias was off by some margin from the factory. I had to change it down since it typically read near 2mpg better than what a fill up showed.
I use my F-150 for towing a 6,300 lb travel trailer. I don't see any benefit to changing the factory engineered payload or GCWR to have a “cool” looking truck. I bought it for what it can do.
I see plenty of people on the forums who have lowered their truck and tow similar things without issue. May necessitate airbags to keep the rear from squatting but other than that many are still happy with the capabilities of the lowered truck.
Because it’s better in every way. Try it out. Don’t do a full squat. Do a mild lowering and put at least 2 inches bigger rims on than the factory rims. If you still prefer lifted after doing that, then you have something wrong with you.
Trucks are getting pretty tall these days from the factory. I put 2wd front shocks on my 4wd model to lower the front down about an inch or so, and removed the block in the rear for easier bed access. Still hauls and tows normally and I can still clear most pavement related things as mine doesn’t often see dirt.
100% lowered all the way. It just rides better lowered. My friend has a lifted truck and I cannot stand riding in that pavement princess jerk your neck off your shoulders while hitting bumps truck.
No good information provided. Is it worth it to lift a truck? Don't watch this video because they'll just confuse you. More like an ad than an informational video.
that black F150 is the truck of my dreams! regular cab looks oldschool and beyond badass! wow!
Lowered look is better. I’m already tall as is. I don’t want a truck taller than I. Not going to lie, that white one is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I need both 😂 but I would take the lowered with the supercharger I have a bronco awesome video 👏👏

Damn! I was looking at getting a regular cab lowered f150 to build but seeing you in the cab.. looks like there is no room
Lowered FTW, ALREADY HAVE A BRAPTOR AND A 2 DOOR BRONCO
Very informative and great video showing that if done right either route is not only good but better if application is the goal.
Good content and great trucks!! I will be in the market soon and plan to buy a truck from you guys all the way from NC!!
I'm interested in seeing similar lowered vs. lifted video on Ford Maverick, please
Hahaha had me giggling at..."Not doing that today Satan!". That's my favorite line when I ain't gonna do something
The f150 is great because I think it looks great lifted or lowered. B

One of the few things that I dislike about my Ford Lightning is how far it takes to turn. Parking it is a pain!

I ain't 6 foot three and I ain't rich
Lifted for me, but that lowered truck isn’t bad.
Good to see the looks
Love this!
If you add a lift kit and change the wheels from 33 to 37 does the speedo and odometer need to be recalibrated?
i would love to have a F150 sleeper 4x4 2024. which supercharger gets more power?
The fuel consumption difference is roughly 10%. That over a year is a lot. You would be delighted if Ford upgraded their engines and improved economy by that amount.
Do they have the same engine? Rear gear ratios? Bed covers?
304k wow they watching from all over even here in Hueytown.
What about payload / squat?
So why wont a M3000H4B work on a 2024 Limited ? I want a 2024 Limited but not a 4X4 guy. I want it to set like a 2024 XLT 4X2.
@tccustoms Can you improve water fording just by installing a lift kit like that BDS?
Yes. When doing a lift kit, you are increasing the height of the engine, trans, transfer case, etc. which will increase the water fording capability
The lowered truck will get slightly etter mpg. But youd lose all the savings in the work done. The lift will atleast allow you to get over larger obstacles.

I love the white lowered truck, nice and clean...

@@TCcustoms_ so what motors do they have?

Hey Mitch!!🫡
Can the new 5.0 run e85 from factory ? No tune or anything?
Don’t quote me but I thought I heard the new ‘24’s removed the factory flex fuel ability that prior generations had.
Lowered truck for the win
couldve just reset the trips and go to fuel economy screen to tell you the mpg no?

The lifted truck mpg won't be accurate because you did not recalibrate the speedometer for tire size
I lowered my 4 door super crew and put it on 305/45r22 tires.
Do you have a Video of yours?
@@EdisnFox not of a walk around.
2 doors - lower it
2.5 doors - 3 inch level or so it
4 doors - lift it
I lowered my 4 door
Missing the Whipple ….😢
why not one of each.
How on earth are so many people saying lower? You guys must be joking.
Because it’s better in every way. Try it out. Don’t do a full squat. Do a mild lowering and put at least 2 inches bigger rims on than the factory rims. If you still prefer lifted after doing that, then you have something wrong with you.
A lowered truck is definitely better off road.
Lowered 👎🏽 lifted level lift 👍🏽
a lifted single cab looks funny... not something we used to seeing these days.
Conclusion: Lowered FTW
MSRP!!!!!!? On both 🙄😅
Stock because just about anything will make your ride worse. Just buy a tremor or raptor.
Why would you ever lower a truck? It doesn't make sense to me unless it's a 2 wheel drive pavement princess

Lowered is pointless. Lifted over all
