Question:

Im looking for a good onboard air compressor for my 2025 F250 short bed truck. Something that would handle multiple options. Tire filling, air bag suspension, air horn, etc. Pete

Hey Peter, for that I would recommend the Firestone Air Command Extreme Duty Compressor and Tank part # F46VV. This has a really heavy duty compressor which means it will inflate a lot quicker and also has a tank that you can use for the air horns as well as an air chock and coiled air line for inflating tires. It also has a line out that you would run to your air bags to keep them properly inflated. You can control with your smartphone or the included remote as well. Do you have air bags in your truck already?

I was able to install the system on a 2020 F350 Dually. I had to get creative with the installation location and had to make a few brackets, but it did not take any special skills. I use the upfitter switches to control the power to the compressor and I have the tank pressure set at the max so I don't have to wait for the compressor to pump up the shocks when I need to inflate them for my truck camper and boat. I love the way it works both on the phone and the remote. I would recommend it.
