  1. Looking to buy my first Ev

    All good points. I was comparing the two because I have an F250 with ventilated seats. Each of the six F150s before that all had vented seats. And you're right, it is cooler. It's too cold, and I end up turning the vented seats off. Every. Single. Time. But all of this is subjective, and you're...
  2. Looking to buy my first Ev

    For what it's worth, I live in western North Carolina and during the June heat wave temps reached 100 with feel temps well above that. Humidity levels at 90+ threatened overheating human bodies because sweat evaporation and breathing just don't work at those numbers. Even then, I don't notice...
  3. My staggered wheel/tire setups - info, specs, opinions.

    Looks like they did add a spacer. Either that, or the wheel's hub hole adapter adds a few millimeters (the latter I know to be true by installing the mounted wheel/tires myself after their arrival on a pallet to my home during the previous/original setup). So then can I add about 450lbs to the...
  4. My staggered wheel/tire setups - info, specs, opinions.

    315/35/R20 R 275/45/R20 F I'll get some pics up here shortly
  5. My staggered wheel/tire setups - info, specs, opinions.

    I'm embarrassed to share that this entire time I've been calculating diameter incorrectly, hence my confusion and repeated asks. For example, on a 315/35/R20 the only thing I did was multiply the decimal percentage (middle number) by the width in mm (first number). That's it and therefore I was...
  6. My staggered wheel/tire setups - info, specs, opinions.

    I'm going with larger diameter front tires to reduce the rake and improve visibility since I live in a very rural area. Previous setup: 245/45/R20 F - 295/40/R20 R and the larger rear tires enhanced the rake. One big question: how are you arriving at 1 inch?
  7. Looking to buy my first Ev

    I don't think you'll be disappointed with the GT. The EV experience is just so cool. Add to that the GT branding and touches such as automatic lift gate, etc. The instant torque and the few seconds it takes to reach 60mph can be risky sometimes not gonna lie. But I try to just set the Blue...
  8. Looking to buy my first Ev

    I vote no on the F150 Lightning only because accessing the truck's bed for tools is gonna get frustrating vs the thigh height of the rear trunk on the Mach-E. If you test drive, one idea is to bring one of your tool bags and place it in the trunk to gain spatial awareness and scale. Looking at...
  9. My staggered wheel/tire setups - info, specs, opinions.

    Front tires are, indeed, 275/45/R20 and so if my math checks out then I think their diameter or height is about 0.5" greater than the rear tires at 315/35/R20 ? Thank you for the advice on the rear wheel 45mm offset and need for the 5-10mm spacer. I suggested to the shop manager that if they...
  10. My staggered wheel/tire setups - info, specs, opinions.

    First, I am absolutely stoked to see this thread and its valuable details, thank you. I've been silently reconning these posts over the past few months to inform my decision on the next staggered setup and I finally also joined. Again, thanks. Second, I want to add that my Glacier Gray Mach-E...
