I have a 25 Limited hybrid. There is a noticeable engine engagement, but not a clunk. If I'm driving in traffic, I'll put it in tow haul mode so it doesn't turn off the engine. Also after a long highway drive, before getting off the highway, I'll put it in tow haul so the engine doesn't turn...
Rolling Resistance:
The wider the tire and the tread compound determines the resistance of the tire to roll. A highway tire (stock on sport) and an AT tire do not roll the same. AT tires and mud tires don't roll as smooth. They are designed to grip on gravel/mud. I had K02 on my F150 and...
The sport offroad and limited are about the same height. I have limited using bridgestone dueler at 275/70 R18. Lost 3 mpg from stock on highway. I also have wider rims fuel rebel 18x9 +25 offset. Stock no rubbing. Rims were about 400 a piece. You can get oem used trd rims much less.
The front of the bed has a curve. Stand on the side of the truck and look down the rear glass, the bed itself curves a little. I used Roll N Lock and they account for that, a little pricey 1000 installed.
The first time I ceramic coated a car, I paid 400, watch how they did it, took a picture of the coating. I now do it myself. I use the 3yr graphene ceramic from dura coating. They also have videos how to apply it (always in the shade and don't wash the car for a week after applying)...
I have 25 hybrid. When you put it in reverse if you're not perfectly stopped, there is a clunk in the trans. I notice it when parking backwards and reverse is accomplished with the electric motor (engine off). No other issue on trans. Truck came with 265/65 R18, I went up 33 with 275/70 R18...
The OEM Micheline Primacy tires are probably the best for mpg.
Rolling Resistance
Highway tires roll better than mud tires or all terrain tires. Think of a chuck wagon going down the street next to your taco. Which rolls better?
Unsprung Weight
This is the weight at the axle where the wheel...
I have a 2025 Limited. I beleive it's a little higher than the sr5. I'm using Fuel Rebel 6 wheel 18x9 and +20 offset. The tires are 275/70 R18. When turning the wheel, I have 1 finger space before hitting the crash bar or front wheel well. That's half an inch. I drive on the street 99.99%...
I have a limited and there are no lifts available. After research on youtube, I went with fuel rebel 18x9 +20 offset. 285/65r18 is 32.6" tall. No rubs no modifications. Trd sport, trd offroad and limited are taller than sr5. Trd pro and trailhunter are about 1.5" above those 3 models...
I have a 2025 hybrid and when you shift from Drive to Reverse you have to be perfectly stopped. If you're moving slightly forward, there is a clunck from transmission/hybrid system. I've noticed the reverse is done in electric mode, gas engine is off.
Check how old are the tires are, there is a code on all tires. Four digits, first two digits is the week and the last two is the year. Tires over 4 years start to develope these signs.
