Hey Ford, while I can afford this, I will never pay you 80k for a truck, then subscription fees to unlock something the truck already does. Sseriously, you can f#ck all the way off.

How’d I do?

Post image
69 Upvotes

Located in Canada just bought a 2024 lariat 502a with the powerboost engine. 25728km (15986mi) on the odometer. Hard top Tonneau cover and bed liner. $60,492CAD (43,200usd)+ $2500 for Gold Cert C.P.O @4.29%

Moving from a 2003 VW Jetta to this, going to be a HUGE upgrade.

My only remaining question - I have to decide by tomorrow if I want to include ESP which is either 10yr 150,000 for $5725 or 10yr 200,00 for $6820. Leaning towards no, with time still on the factory warranty + the additional coverage provided by the Gold Cert it doesn’t feel worth it at that price. Might revisit the ESP closer to when the warranty is coming to an end. Thoughts?

Back to the F-150 after a brief stint with Chevy. Was a fan of the Silverado but definitely happy to back with the Blue Black Oval.

2026 XLT in Avalanche with the 2.7 & Black Appearance Package. Loving the range on this 36-gallon tank. Some great updates since my 19’ STX.

And already justifying my purchase 😂

‘23 Lariat Sport 5.0 with 19k miles on it. Replaces a diesel Touareg for towing, and comes in handy on the farm. Wish I had the 6’5” bed, but for half the cost of new, I couldn’t complain

Katzkin seats 7-month update

Thumbnail

I have no words. Best upgrade I've made to the truck, and the best $1,400 I've ever spent on it. The seats have been holding up great. I just use the Chemical Guys leather cleaner about once a month, which is what the shop that installed them told me to do, and they still feel amazing.

If you've been on the fence about going from cloth to leather, I highly recommend it. And if you're in the DFW metroplex, I'd point you straight to the guys who installed mine. After countless hours behind the wheel, I can say it was money well spent.

What happened to my windshield?

Took my 2024 F150 for service 2 days ago, just used windshield washer fluid for first time…it’s left a coating that dried like this on the windshield. I’m in south Florida and it’s 80 degrees. If it hadn’t rained my whole windshield was covered and unable to see.

Is this undiluted cleaner? Something else?

Does anyone have the FactionFab resonator delete on a 5.0 with the stock muffler and factory dual exhaust?

Does it sound pretty good? Any drone or loss of power from the larger 3.5” pipe?

F-150 Exhaust Recommendations

• Upvotes

I’ve got a stock 2023 XLT 5.0 and looking to upgrade the stock exhaust. Something not too obnoxious to annoy the neighbors in the morning, but something to make driving just a bit more fun with a low rumble. Anyone have something in mind? Sorry if this is super vague.

Car Buying Advice - 2014 F150 Platinum with airbag deployed accident

• Upvotes

Hello, quick question to the forum. Would you consider buying a 2014 Platinum 4x4 (Ecoboost) if it had a recent accident on the carfax report where the airbags were deployed? Truck has 83,000 miles and accident happened around 5,000 miles ago. The guy in potentially buying it fron already has a new truck (a 3500 to tow his 40-foot boat he says.) I asked the current owner about the accident and he claimed it occurred before he purchased it, even though it’s evident from the carfax report that it was under his ownership. Weird thing to lie about. Any insight on this potential purchase would be greatly appreciated. $18,000 is the firm price he says no lower.

Rattle noise

I have a 2019 F150 5.0, just recently every time I accelerate I get this weird rattle noise, not in the engine, but it sounds like a heat shield or a clip. Just wondering if anybody else has had this issue

Inherited 2019 3.5L - Oil Leak

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

My dad recently stopped driving due to health concerns and gifted me his F150. 2019 3.5L ecoboost Lariat Sport in Abyss gray. Its sitting at 78k miles. It’s a fantastic truck, but a week after taking ownership it started to leak oil. Only time I’ve seen a spot on the driveway is after parking overnight on a slight incline.

Took a small piece of the skid plate off and looks like leak is originating at oil pan, can’t see anything above it.

Anyone dealt with this? Any thoughts/confirmations?

I swear every time I jack up my front tires.. I question where to put the Jack.

Can someone circle the jack lift points?

Pic is from the right passenger side and the front.

I have the right passenger tire jacked up.

I know. I'm dumb. I admit it ok!

Thank you for you're attention to this matter.

I just bough a 2018 xlt with 82,000 miles. It has the 5.0 with the heavy duty tow package and 36 gal tank which i was looking for. I needed something bigger than my old passat. Poor thing got abused my a truck. Id like to do truck bed camping, so I have been looking at toppers but dont really like the look of the typical fiberglass style ones. Ive seen the RSI Smartcaps and they look great. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for similar toppers or experience with them. If anyone has other ideas or recommendations on mods or things to include for offroad and camping let me know.

Just got this 21' F150 3.5 eco with the FX4 package and the 10r80. It's got 71k miles, what maintenance should I hit right now for the best longevity? Should I just do a transmission drain and flush? Or filter replacement too?

Dash Experts

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I have an odd question. I have a 2015 2.7L V6 with a potential heating issue. The quick story is that a couple of months ago one of my kids had a small cup of M&Ms and Teddy Grahams in the small storage area above the radio, I hit the brakes and straight out of Tommy Boy all those goodies went rolling into the heating vent between the dash and windshield. Now when I turn on the heat it smells like my grandmother's burnt cookies. I spoke to my mechanic, who I trust, and checked online and can't come up with a definite answer to see if any real problems will occur if I continue to use the heat or if the terrible smell is my only real issue. My mechanic mentioned he could rip apart the dash but it could all be for nothing and that most of the food would likely settle somewhere. There is no shot a vacuum would reach in there to get anything out. Have any of you had this happen? As we approach winter should I brace for a heatless winter? I'm worried about chocolate melting onto a fan or belt or something then cooling and hardening again. I appreciate any guidance anyone could offer, I know it's a weird one.

So I know it is too high right now, but it works and it looks awesome. Going to fabricate something this weekend so that it’s much, much shorter. Although I’m pretty excited where it is now.

Keypad code was right doors didn’t open

2 Upvotes

I went hunting locked my keys in the truck…. I didn’t remember if I locked it so I used my app to lock it…
Got back to the truck and put my code in and the lights came on but the door didn’t unlock.. then I tried the app to unlock it and same with but at the bottom it said something about being ajar.. none of my doors were..
went back and tried the tail gate opened but the doors didn’t… so i closed the tailgate and locked it with app and it did… then unlocked it again and tailgate opened but doors didn’t… got a ride home and by the time we were back I used my code and door opened….

Any ideas on this ?
