Overland Journal Podcast host Matt Scott and AEV's Dave Harriton discuss the new AEV FXL, a Ford Super Duty heavy-duty truck program following their Ram and Chevy/GMC lines. They address brand loyalty, regional preferences, and modern truck capabilities. The FXL will be sold as complete VIN-stamped, warrantied dealer trucks and as individual parts starting early June, beginning with bumpers, wheels, and flares, followed by Bilstein-tuned AEV 8100 suspension. Engineering topics include ADAS integration, cooling, 20,000-lb winch packaging, modular bumpers with replaceable wear bars, and a reinforced rear bumper. They also cover squared flares, beadlock-capable HD wheels, F-rated 40-inch towing tires, upcoming 450/550 super-single options, a brush guard, spare tire carrier development, and snorkel design challenges.
