Glad I’m not the only one that will miss it, and it really does seem like all of the engines they currently offer are really stout.
For those that are curious about performance while loaded 0-60 is around 10 seconds while hauling 1500 lbs of payload in the bed (3.73 gears). A 6% mountain pass...
I feel like the 3.3 section needs a little lovin. So I’m here to report that I’ve currently done a little over 70k miles in 15 months of ownership and this little sweetheart hasn’t skipped a beat.
I bought this truck as my work truck (self employed) and it gets driven hard for 10+ hours per day...
I have the exact same spec (3.3 V6, 4WD w/3.73 open diff) and I’ve never had a problem at the boat launch. Although my boat is too big to tow (40ft) so I only launch/retrieve my jet ski’s at the boat launch. It probably depends on how heavy the boat is. I do regularly haul 5k-7k on my equipment...
I wholeheartedly agree with this! If the load seems dangerous, a responsible driver would rent/borrow/buy a bigger truck, and be sensible about its weight distribution and load securement.
It’s definitely the loose nut behind the wheel that’s the problem 😂
Are the EIWE’s problematic? I’ve not heard heard much about them. Knock wood mine have been fine, but it seems like it would be more reliable than the previous vacuum system.
Our local PD’s entire fleet is primarily F150’s and Expeditions with a handful of Explorers for patrolling in town. A lot of our roads are dirt roads, so they tend to favor the beefier trucks
I know right! I guess I have a heavy foot to cover those 58k miles in only 58 hours, with 10 of those hours being idle hours 😂
As long as the gauges work I’m not going to lose any sleep over it
So last month I noticed that the engine hour meter had randomly reset back to zero hours, but my odometer reading (thankfully) stayed the same. I had about 2800 engine hours the previous time I checked, now it’s reading less than 100hrs. It’s obviously not something that makes any difference to...
Wait… I knew there was the owners manual in the infotainment screen, but my truck also came with the printed owners manual and all of the supplemental manuals as well. (warranty info, tires, Sirius registration etc)
Who is deciding which new F150’s get a printed manual and which ones don’t? My...
Agree with adding 5g of fuel if the level was below 1/4. Fuel tanks usually have the sender at the rear so you don’t run out of fuel driving up a hill.
I have about 62k miles. I’ve had my truck 13 months (9/22 build, purchased new off the lot in 12/22 with 9 miles on it) so I’m flying without a warranty now.
I bought this as my work truck since I’m self employed, so it’s pretty much all business miles hauling payload. For reference my other...
