A 2013 F150 EcoBoost FX4 Buried in Louisiana Mud

Real, pure, ugly, bog-smelling, nasty mud is not a common occurrence in most of Arizona, and certainly not around the Phoenix area (until Monsoon season). The sprawling swamplands of Louisiana are an entirely different story, as F150ecoboost.net forum member (and good customer of ours) Pinero61 found out when he buried his 2013 F150 EcoBoost FX4 deep into a trail. Despite being packed with one of our EcoBoost Phase 4 Performance Packages, a 170° thermostat, and custom tuning from MPT to bring it all together, his 2.5" leveling kit and 35" General Grabber tires wrapped around 20" Method 301s just wasn't enough to beat the enormous patch of rutted mud that he found himself buried in to nearly his truck's frame rails. Still, the whole adventure makes for some great pictures, which Pinero61 has let us post on our blog. Scroll down for all of the muddy goodness!

Pinero61 did order a Rancho 4" Lift kit from us, so hopefully that combined with some larger and more mud-oriented tires and the Raptor take-off Fox suspension we're about to send out to him, will hopefully prevent something like this from happening in the future. Pinero61 was rescued, shamefully with help from his friend's Ram Chevy.
