So about 10 months back I sold my 08 F250 6.4 PSD. was a great truck, but I was never impressed by the poor mileage, and we really didn't need such a nice truck for a shop rig. I bought a super clean 04 F150 Lariat 5.4 4x4, and it worked out really well. But I forgot how many white F150 supercrews there are out there....everybody has one, and I don't care for how they look lifted for some reason. So last week our car sales guy at the Benz dealership calls us up (my wife is a car freak and changes vehicles every 18 months or so, and has an affinity for Benz's, so this guy has become a friend of the family over the past 8 years) and tells me he took a truck on trade I need to see. One look I was sold, one drive I was listing the F150 on Craigslist and sold it same day. Bought this 08 Tundra CrewMax SR5. I've never even sat in one of these before this one, but I'm impressed. The back seat on this CrewMax body is amazing....my son is now 6'3 and my daughter is 5'10 (at 15 and 13 years), so they dig the room. What a motor...this truck pulls a 10,000 pound boat every bit as well as the 6.4 diesel did.
Couple questions for anyone who know these trucks: It has 33x12.50x20 tires on it. Do you think it has been lifted/leveled, or is this the stock ride heighth? The exhaust has been done, but everything else under the hood appears stock. Would I benefit from an air filter kit and a chip? Any problem areas I should keep an eye on?
