That is one badass looking truck! So clean looking, not gaudy. Congrats.

It is the 6.75' bed and you are correct regarding the towing capacity. I was looking at the F350 spreadsheet. The maximum towing capacity is 15,000. The hitch is a Class V with a 2.5" receiver.Is that 8' bed or 6' 3/4"? Looks like SWB bed so that's 15k max tow with proper hitch (check to make sure you don't have a class III hitch like many come with).
Looks sharp.
I know you are only towing a 6k lb boat, but don’t kid yourself about the towing capacity with your 6 inch lift and larger diameter wheel/tire combo. Both completely change the geometry and decrease your ability to accelerate, brake, and control a heavy load. That said, your Yamaha will be well within that truck’s limits.
Spending the money he spent I am sure he bagged the rear end to eat any sag. I am 99% sure all new 3/4 tons and above have class 4 or class 5 hitches. Even the “ Tow ratings on the new 1/2 tons are up there.
now you just need a bigger garage lol
Thing looks sweet! But dang 6"? That has to ride like a box of dicks.
IDK.
I think it is okay to comment on tow ratings - in a tow vehicle thread.
I wonder if those "tow ratings" have anything to do with reality given lift/suspension mods (no matter the hitch ratings).
@Commander50 you’re are a lawyer, maybe you can elaborate. I never understood those issues, I know the insurance will pay for damages no matter who did what within the coverage limits but civil liability can exceed any kind of coverage limit.

Idk I think she looks sweet!!! Those new 6.7 Power Stroke diesels are locomotives too. The only downside I can see are drive thrus and parking garages.
Hadn't even thought of parking garages. My stock height 1500 can barely fit in some of the ones around here (I've touched a beam with my hand through the sunroof while entering a garage a number of times). No way this would fit in there.
Thanks. I'm going for the all black and white "Stormtrooper" look. I'm incrementally powder coating all of the chrome.That is one badass looking truck! So clean looking, not gaudy. Congrats.
Sweet truck. Do they make 18" drops so you can hook up the boat? LOL.
I can barely fit my F-150 in most garages around here, I'm hesitant to even level it.
I had to go to an Anderson Hitch with a 10" drop for the boat trailer but for my toyhauler which rides very low to the ground, I had to buy a Curt shank with a 14 and 1/2" drop for the weight distribution hitch.Sweet truck. Do they make 18" drops so you can hook up the boat? LOL.

I actually did not have to install airbags because the boat trailer only lowered the rear end 1/4" and the toyhauler resulted in no sag due to the use of my weight distribution hitch. And you are correct, the truck has a Class V hitch.
Congrats. ?2019 Ford F250 Super Duty, 6" lift, 20" SCA Performance Black Widow wheels wrapped with 37" Toyo Rough Country tires, ICI off road front bumper. 18,000 pound towing capacity.
I had a Chevy 1500 with a 12” lift, 37s, and 5:13 gears when I bought my first ar230. I thought that truck was a beast til I hooked up to the boat. Switched to a stock 2500 shortly after
I bought the truck at Gosch Ford in San Diego. SCA Performance seems to have an authorized Ford Dealer in every major city. You can either buy one off the lot that the dealer spec'd out or you can custom order a new truck and the truck will be shipped directly to SCA Performance from the factory to be modified.I didn’t realize it until I just looked, but “ SCA” appears to be one of those companies that pretty much customizes the entire truck in terms of Suspension, looks and performance. pretty cool!. I’ve heard of like “ Rocky Mountain” and a few others that do this, it’s a pretty neat concept, and it seems to be a growing one at that.
So that makes that a really special truck, Gratz Man!!
if you don’t mind where did you get it? Like what Dealer?
