  1. Using USB thumbdrive for playlists without playing in alphabetical order

    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...
  2. US car companies made $250 billion in past 4 years

    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. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/13/shawn-fain-president-uaw-union-interview
  3. Steeda rear sway bar for F-150

    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...
  4. TPMS not at all accurate

    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...
  5. Ram, Ford, & Toyota Trucks Earned Poor Backseat Safety Ratings

    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...
  6. Checking recall notices before accepting a new truck

    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...
  7. Recalls exempt companies from Lemon Laws

    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...

The trucks that performed the worst were the smaller Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, and Jeep...
  9. Update auto applied and now door chimes activated when door is opened.

    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...
  10. Good jump starter for truck

    I have the problem where the battery can discharge to where it cannot start the engine. I have been looking at the jump starters on Amazon but now that they have outsourced the management of reviews their accuracy is not longer to be trusted. On jump starter for sale has more than 600 5-star...
  11. Disable pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking 2022 truck

    I read a post that stated that the only way to disable the pre-collision assist was to take the truck to the dealer. I found that I could change all the settings and even disable this feature completely by going to Features/Driver Assistance/Pre-Collision Assist on the touchscreen. The problem...
  12. Clothes bar for 2022 F-150

    My other crew cab truck and all my cars have handles at the back for passengers and clothes bars are designed to attach to these handles. This is not the case with my 2022 F-150 where there are only some small plastic clips and nothing for a clothes bar's ends to latch onto. I don't even know if...
