Curious about the Ford F-150 FX4....

Today I came across 2 blogs of couple traveling with F-150 - one all over the world and the other one in South America.

So I started looking at the FX4, just for the fun of it...

does anyone here have one? do they come with diff lock? I saw some that has it but I couldn't tell if it was every year model.

there also seem to be a larger fuel tank available - 36 gallons instead of 26

maybe something to consider...

Yes, I have a 2011. It does have a rear diff lock in 2x4 high and 2x4 lo. Mine also has the 36 gal tank.

I have corresponded once with the pnsf couple. They chose the F-150 platform partly because they are used all over the world.

Diff lock was not available in 2006. I own a 2005 FX4 and it was not a option. Mine does have a 36 gal tank though. Love the truck. Bought it new in 05 currently have 109k miles and no major issues to date.

I have an F250 FX4 - not the same thing, I know but I understand that the "Rancho" schocks are not in fact Rancho - they're rebranded shocks from another maker - maybe factory? I don't know the truth of this. I think the good thing about FX4 is the skid plate package. The shocks are neither here nor there.
