  1. Hydraulic Jack?

    In every vehicle I had owned for the past 3 decades I've always carried a small hydraulic jack and 4-way lug wrench of my own. I am curious if anyone else carries a jack in their F-150 and what the range of lift and weight rating should be. Should it be a bottle jack, or a small trolley...
  2. Completely Unhappy Owner

    As I have eluded to before, when I purchased my 2022 Eco-Boost 3.5, I was not able to get certain equipment that I really wanted. (e.g. Extendable towing mirrors, Nav package, Sirius XM) I was stuck using the Rube Goldberg "Android Auto" instead. I'd like to meet the idiot who came up with...
  3. Ford F-150's vs Microsoft Windows 95

    I keep reading this forum describing all of the issues Ford has with software updates screwing up other functions, the need for frequent reprogramming, incompability, glitches, etc and it occured to be that it is similar to what I experienced with the Windows 95 operating system. That plus...
  4. Eco-Boost Economy Mode

    I have been consciously resetting the mode on my '22 F-150 to "ECO" just to explore whether better mileage is obtainable. I drive really conservatively, without hard acceleration, etc. My average displayed on the dash before experimenting with it was 18.1 mpg, and that has NOT changed. Has...
  5. Change in pitch of Seatbelt warning buzzer

    I had the truck to the dealer a week or so ago for them to perform the recall for the rear parking brake wiring, and install a new headlight switch. Now the pitch is changed on the warning chime for seatbelts. It went way higher in pitch. Then for a while it went back to normal, and then...
  6. Weird issue today..

    I was driving along at highway speed. I was connected to my cell phone and was listening to XM Radio. All of a sudden my radio went completely dead, and the air conditioner blower stopped blowing for about 5-10 seconds. It restarted. I said "WTF!" Now the strange part, the female Android...
  7. Door-open alarm

    All of a sudden my truck has started emitting a annoying continuous alarm tone when one of the doors is opened. I suspect it came with a software update. It makes no difference if the truck is running or not. I have searched the menus and can't find a spot to disable it. Is anyone else...
  8. Park Brake Fault-Service Now message

    I had my truck in at the dealership for an oil change and the error this week. They found some error codes in the ABS system module. They told me per a "Tech Advisory" they removed the ABS module and anther module and checked for water damage, or bent pins and found none. They said they cleared...
  9. Buyer's remorse

    I bought my 2022 3.5 Eco-Boost in October of 2022. After reading some of the strange issues affecting these trucks, plus still waiting for a wiper motor recall to be done, plus not being able to get the Nav Package and Sirius XM Radio, CD player, and built-in garage door opener (which the...
  10. Gas mileage computations are NOT accurate

    When the owner fills-up the vehicle and resets the economy calculator, drives 200+ miles, then fills-up again, why does the truck's computations say 17.4 mpg and my calculator say 16.76 mpg? I definitely trust my calculator much more than Ford's computer.
  11. "Park Brake Fault-Service Now" message

    I have received this 3 times now. It seems sporadic, and usually comes when I get in the truck to start it for the first time in a day or so. Anyone else seen this?

  13. "Park Brake Fault-Service Now" message being received

    I have received this 3 times now, sporadically. I always get it when getting in the truck and starting it for the first time in a while.
  14. Options not available on my 2022 F-150

    When I purchased my 2022 F-150 new in October of 2022, I was unable to get the Navigation Package, or the Sirius-XM Radio. Dealership said parts-specific electronic chips were not available to build the options. So Fast-forward to this week. Wife's Jeep was destroyed by hail and insurance...
