  1. Current interest rates for new cars through Ford financing?

    I tried doing a search on the forum, but didn't come up with anything great. What are people seeing for new car interest rates (well-qualified buyer)? TIA.
  2. Car Dealers wonder why they get a bad name

    Just like any industry / profession / business, the bad players really do a disservice to the good ones. This isn’t F-150 limited, so I put this in the very general forum area. My mother-in-law (MIL) ordered a new Honda CR-V and she was scheduled to pick it up today (it arrived last Thursday...
  3. F-150 Payload question with a trailer

    My wife and I are leaving town tomorrow to take a 6 hour road trip into Nebraska. I’m pulling a trailer and am somewhat worried about my payload and overall towing capacity. Truck specifics: 2021 F-150 Platinum Powerboost. Door sticker below: Here is a picture of the clearance on the...
  4. Differential Fluid Leak

    I brought my ‘21 F-150 Platinum (PowerBoost) into a local garage today to get an oil change. I’ve used this garage for various cars over the past 10+ years and never had much of an issue with them. I specifically didn’t take the truck to the dealership given a couple of recalls that I have on...
  5. Oil Change at dealership while recalls

    I currently need an oil change, but for whatever reason am reluctant to bring to the dealership while the recall related to the ‘heat barrier adhesive’ issue is going on. There have been reports that if this shield scraped the driveshaft, then the dealership has to keep your truck until they...
  6. Can you use FORSCAN and/or FDRS to change BlueCruise settings once it is installed?

    Without reading the 229 pages in the FORSCAN thread, it is systemically possible to override pre-set maximums within BlueCruise? Specifically, the system kicks off when you hit 81 MPH. I understand the rationale for having a maximum, but in some states - this doesn’t allow for a slight buffer...
  7. 2021 Platinum - Heat shield above muffler coming loose

    My heat shield appears to be coming loose. I'm waiting for it to cool down before I investigate fully, but the shield appears to be attached via 1 or 2 clips, plus some adhesive on the other corner. The adhesive appears to be failing and allows it to drop onto the axle. When going slow/medium...
  8. Bluecruise OTA Status?

    Now that we are in the 3rd quarter of 2021, has anyone heard an update on the status of when we “might expect” the BlueCruise OTA update? I thought I had read awhile back to expect 3rd quarter, which in my mind meant last Sept and not early-July - BTW. When searching websites, I couldn’t find...
  9. Not F-150 related, but Bronco question

    Sorry to muddy up the threads, but didn’t see the appropriate place for a different type of Ford question. Does anyone have a solid recommendation for a Bronco forum that is similar to this F150 forum? I found good information here and am looking to stay current on my Bronco order. Mods -...
  10. Well - it can't stay new forever

    1 week into my new Platinum, and I love tapped the back end with my Kubota skid-steer. I was loading a water tank and pallet into the bed. My pallet fork has a foot-step on the right corner (but nothing on the left) and I forgot about it. Given that the skid-steer is 8000 pounds empty, this...
  11. 2021 vs 2022 Ordering

    Stopped by my dealer today to drop something off. (Note that I picked up my ‘21 Platinum last Saturday which I had special ordered). My sales guy told me that Ford told them yesterday that they could no longer order any more ‘21s. (He did indicate that that dealer does have a lot of orders in...
  12. Turning radius / Other observations I’ve noticed one day in.

    Picked up my Platinum this morning. Put about 150 miles on it today. Some quick observations: Negatives: Turning radius seems to be notably worse than my ‘16 F-150. Deletion of the cigarette lighter power adapter up front. When using lane departure, the system tells me to “keep my hand...
  13. F-150 History Question

    Good morning, This topic isn’t completely related to the Gen14 2021 model. My son and I were talking about my pending truck (2021 Platinum that is replacing my 2016 Platinum) and we were talking about all the features that the ‘21 has over the ’16. When I was growing up, my Dad always had an...
  14. Bed organizer / clip onto hook system

    Is anyone aware of a weatherproof(ish) bag/box that clips into one of the side wall cleats? I want something just to organize my hitch receiver; tie-down straps, couple of tools; etc. (without having to store those in my backseat- under-the-seat cargo.) I saw a saddlebag solution in one...
  15. USB power port in upper dash?

    I figure it is a shot in the dark, but is there any sort of power port (USB) in the tray above the nav screen? I like to plug in a iPhone MagSafe holder that clips to my air vent, but I’d like to hide the cord as much as possible to keep the lines clean. Any thoughts on that? My order is a...
  16. 2021 Hard Covers - Factory Tonneau Cover vs Bakflip?

    I ordered a 2021 Platinum in mid-December. Supposedly it will be at my dealer in February. (I personally think this is over optimistic by the dealer, but that’s beside the point). My question relates to the factory ordered hard top. Has any one seen detailed pictures or a video on this. My...
  17. Plant build location surprise

    Good evening, I’ve ordered a 2021 Platinum with nearly all available options back on 12/14/2020. I now have the VIN and went through the great decoder that I found on this site. I live in Kansas City, so naturally assumed that my build would happen in our local Claycomo plant (KC, Missouri)...
