In the past I could search for nearby services and stores. Today the nav system showed my location accurately but could not connect to the POI database. I suspect this is the result of a Ford software update that broke this functionality of the navigation system.
Has anyone experienced this...
My truck has the factory installed Hankook DynaPro AT2 265/60R20 tires. I have been running them at the recommended 35 PSI front and rear. I have noticed that there is greater tread wear at the edges with all 4 tires and so I am going to run at 38 PSI for a few thousand miles and recheck tread...
Interesting article that covers how during the pandemic the auto companies started to load up the vehicles and the dealers then bought and sold these premium priced cars and trucks to customers who could afford to pay more. At this time many buyers are hold on to their current truck or car and...
My SUV's all had a factory wind deflector that passed air down over the rear window and minimized dirt buildup. I realized that attaching a similar deflector on the top rear of my truck's cap would greatly reduce the dirt coming inside the bed of the truck when driving on dirt roads.
Has anyone...
It may be coincidental but after a update of my 2022 F-150 the TPMS would only display the PSI for the first tire in the sequence and not for the other 3 wheels. Training the sensors entails setting the right front tire first and then going around the truck clockwise for the remaining sensors...
When I bought my 2022 F-150 XLT with 4WD and the locking rear differential I was not knowledgeable about how Ford approached four wheel drive vehicles. I have owned 4WD vehicles from Willy, Suzuki, GM, and Chevy. They all had a two-speed transfer case. It came as a surprise that Ford cheats its...
On dirt roads the trucks suck up dust and bring it inside the bed. I installed a rubber tailgate gasket and this limits dust at this one spot but I still have it coming in from above the tailgate where the Snugtop shell does not effectively seal the rear window area.
I would be interested in...
I found a reference to changing 726-04-01 from 01XX to 02XX for the first block but nothing as to what to change the second block or set of numbers to not get a Checksum error message in Forscan. What am I doing wrong or missing?
Thanks
The factory battery needed to be replaced at 1,666 miles, Now at 4,026 miles the replacement battery needs to be replaced. The car battery was dead and when I attached a battery charger the truck battery showed a SOC of 4%. After 8 hours I got the battery up to 93% SOC. The next morning I...
My windshield washer pump no longer works and I cannot find any information as to whether it is controlled by a fuse and if so, which fuse. I could find nothing in the owner manual and when I phoned Ford customer care the person told me that if it was not in the manual then to go to a dealer...
What I liked about my Garmin 760 navigation device was that is provided the speed limit for my location. With my 2022 F-150 I noticed that for a section of road with a posted speed limit of 65 mph the navigation screen showed the max speed as 85 mph. Not too many LEOs that would allow me to use...
Having owned a 2011 Chevy truck and a 2018 Chevy SUV, and currently owning a 2022 Toyota SUV, I expected no issues with continuing to use my USB sticks with my playlists on the 2022 F-150. But I have no control over how the songs are played and they are played in alphabetical order only. I have...
The profits of the car makers has been used to do stock buybacks and pay dividends and massive bonuses to CEO's. Good article to provide perspective.

Does anyone have direct experience installing the Steeda rear sway bar on their F-150? The Hellwig sway bar pricing has doubled in the past years (pre pandemic price gouging) and now cost 51% more than the ones from Steeda. I have not found any installation problems online but would appreciate...
This morning my dash showed all four tires at 36 psi and so OK. When a Ford tech arrived to take care of a recall fix he also used his digital gauge to check the pressure in the tires. His gauge showed all four as having only 33 PSI. As all four tires were off either his gauge was not accurate...
Many people are buying a crew cab pickup truck instead of an SUV to be able to carry 4-5 passengers but put their backseat passengers at greater risk.
Four large pickups offer strong protection in side crashes but fall short when protecting passengers in the back seat. The following 2023 models...
I learned that once a manufacturer issues a service bulletin for a vehicle that the dealer is restricted by law from selling the vehicle until the problem has been fixed. My dealer had received a notice about the defective wiper motors in the F-150 trucks but sold me one regardless. Now that I...
I bought my F-150 in May of 2022 and in January of 2023 received a recall notice for the defective wiper motor. My truck has only 2737 miles on it at this time as I avoid driving it and risking a serious accident. I don't drive it when there is rain or fog or take it out of town.
I have learned...

Something to keep in mind when buying a new pickup with a crew cab. The trucks that performed the worst were the smaller Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, and Jeep...
Thanks to a new forced update from Ford, whenever I open the door the chime starts ringing and does not go off until I close the door. This happens when the engine is off so it is not a safety feature but rather an annoyance. I was told by Ford to go to the local service shop of a dealer and I...
