We got our first decent snow of the year, about 10 inches so far, and I drove about 6 miles to my shop today. Nothing eventful happened, the roads were mostly unplowed. After staying there about 30 minutes I went out and started the truck only to be met with all kinds of warnings the moment I...
I am a little surprised at what the oil monitor has been recommending as far as oil life on our F-150 vs our Explorer ST. Both vehicles get Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30, but the F150 Hybrid is driven the most and is primarily driven in town. Even with almost 5,000 miles on the current oil, the...
I got my truck in March of 2021 and within a month or two the wipers started acting erratically. They would stutter or quit completely for a few seconds. The dealer replaced the wiper assembly including the motor under warranty.
I took my truck in today for a recall on the parking brake wiring...
The wife and I trade our vehicles at 50k miles, or about every 4 years, but I still like to maintain them well. After watching YT channels like FordTechMakeuloco, I always get our vehicles transmission fluid changed at 30k miles. Every time the dealership tries to talk me out of it saying it...
After getting a skid plate in the face and seeing how thoroughly these extractors drain the oil I bought one to try. I stuck the tube down the dipstick hole Ond turned on the compressor. It quickly drained 2.5 quarts and then sucked air. I tried rotating and feeling for a lower spot with the...
My Long bed, super crew, XLT Powerboost FX4 with Max Tow rides better than any vehicle I have been in for years short of my dad’s 70s luxury cars. My old ‘99 Diesel Ram rides like a truck and bumps about knock your teeth out. I absolutely love the acceleration and quiet power of the Powerboost...
My truck has had gobs of power since new, but for optimal power from a stop I always have to ease into the throttle. If I floor it the truck will start to spin the tires and after a chirp it will cut power. It does this in all drive mode and turning off traction control doesn’t stop this. Is it...
I was driving my 2021 F150 FX4 Powerboost in some snow last week. We got about 4 inches of thick wet snow that only lasted a day. I started to notice a dragging sound and found that the felt shield transmission cover was hanging down and waterlogged. The truck only has 20k miles on it and is...
I have seen older F150s with the rear tail lights that when viewed from the side had a halo line that outlined the fixture. My truck has what looks like the halo outline, but it doesn’t light up.
Does anyone know what years had this or if it is an aftermarket upgrade?
Picked up my Powerboost Supercrew with the 6.5’ bed last week. Even with the Max Tow option, I am very pleased with the ride quality. Ride quality is noticeably better than our Explorer Sport. It reminds me of how cars used to ride before everything was geared towards being sporty and letting...
Can Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist 2.0 be added to a truck that has the 360 Camera package and the Co-Pilot 360? I failed to get this and really miss the adaptive cruise.
Town and Country Ford on Youtube talks about them installing leveling kits and even lift kits on new trucks for their customers. Does anyone know if adding a 2" leveling kit to the front springs will cause any warranty issues?
Does anyone know what the actual curb weight is on a Power Boost 4x4 SuperCrew FX4 truck is? I am noticing that the 2020 specs say under 5,000 pounds. I have always been skeptical though as the brochure on my '99 Dodge Ram said it was 5,900lbs yet multiple scales say it is 7,800 with only me in...
