4x4 options

[amtx915]

My truck has the 4x4 floor shifter and manual locking hubs. I've seen other trucks like mine with the dash switch and autolock hubs. Bought my truck used so i was just wondering if those are dealer options? Thanks!

those don't look like factory hubs...
AFAIK, you can get the SOTF 4WD as an option on XL and XLT models, it's standard on Lariat and KR editions

I'm pretty sure they are the factory hubs. Truck is still pretty much stock. Maybe it's an option for amarillo editions? Thats my best guess.

I ordered my 04 Lariat with the manual transfercase, and hubs. Most trucks on the lot are ESOF. Keith

The ESOF is a nice creature comfort but I have had problems with it on both rigs that I have it on. My wifes 03 Expedition has it and we have had to repair it (took it to to the tune of 450+ ) and my 06 has it and I just replaced the shift motor myself for around 150.00. Got an estimate from for PARTS ONLY @ 515.00 .

With the manual locking hubs and floor shifter you know when you are in 4x4 and you ARE in 4x4.

Those are definitely factory hubs you have in the picture. ESOF is an option on a Lariat, not sure about the King Ranch. Also, are you sure your truck is an 05? I thought Amarillo's were only available as an 06 model.

I wish mine had all MANUAL so I know when its in or out...also like the look of the shifter in the floor.

you know what, the salesman at the dealer told me it was an amarillo ed. but it doesnt have the amarillo decals or badges or stitching or gauges? But it does have a sunroof, black leather, and the amarillo paint. And it's defenitely an 05...someone help me out here.

 

[95_stroker]

The amarillo was first available in 05...... dont know how much help that is to you.

I think the VIN# will tell you if it is a "special" edition...or was the amirillo a dealer only edition??
