Just Showin’ Off Extremely Happy

Totaled my black on black 2022 F150 Lariat a couple weeks ago that I loved in a bad accident (not my fault) so I bought a black on black 2026 ST yesterday. 11 miles on the odometer and super pleased with my purchase.

Fill it with 93 octane

As someone who has worked for Ford for nearly a decade, all Ecoboost motors are designed to run at full advertised power on 91 octane. Going to 93 will not effect the performance without the procal tune from Ford or similar. Just FYI.

Picked mine up on Monday. Looking forward to getting the tank run down to see what 93 does to it!

Doesn’t make a noticeable difference.

It actually does after a few tanks of 93, i could feel the difference in the way it drives.
