  1. Do you like your 2,7 ecoboost or wish you bought 5.0?

    Both the 2.7 and 5.0 are good engines, I have had both, both had 3.55 axle ratios, but I prefer the 2.7 engine. At present time I have both a 2.7 and 3.5 on the ranch and am satisfied with both of them but haven't tried towing with the 2.7. I was not happy with the 5.0 for towing a 5,000 lb...
  2. 2021 F150 2.7 Lariat

    If it sounds good to you then jump on it as at that price I don't see it staying on the lot very long.
  3. I could use some advice from towing experts.

    You say that you don't want E rated tires and I understand why but my experience with the standard P rated tires versus the E rated tires is that the E rated tires make your F150 much more stable, with no squiggle feeling, they just go straight done the road. No harm in trying the tow with the...
  4. Gas mileage computations are NOT accurate

    Am sure that the accuracy of the gas mileage as shown on the Dash Display varies between vehicles but on my 2022 F150 with the 2.7 engine I used the Engineering Test Mode to lower the reading by 4% and now the dash reading closely agrees with the actual miles per gallon as hand calculated. I...
  5. When Did Ford Switch to Having Both Direct & Port Fuel Injection On The 2.7 ?

    Just noticed on the Ford website that the 2.7 engine for the 2023 models is advertised as having both the Direct and Port Fuel Injection but the brochure for the 2022 makes no mention of what type of fuel injection the engine has. The 2017 Ford brochure states that the 2.7 engine has Direct...
  6. Roadmaster Active suspension in a long bed

    Have had the Roadmaster Active Suspension installed for over 20,000 miles now on my 2021 CrewCab 4x4 and have had no vibrations, no compliants at all
  7. Cheap Ebay Tonneau Roll Covers ??? Has Anyone Tried One ?

    In the past have always bought the ACCESS brand tonneau roll cover for my F150's and they have been good, never had a compliant but in searching Ebay for roll covers today a number of off brand roll covers pop up for around $150 with free shipping. It sounds too good to be true but just...
  8. Ford plans to drop AM radios from most of its new vehicles starting in 2024

    Sounds like an April Fools joke, you got to be kidding me. I'm not buying any vehicle without an AM radio. Have been loyal to Ford over the years but this would be a deal breaker for me, I don't have to buy Fords.
  9. Ford plans to drop AM radios from most of its new vehicles starting in 2024

    Am planning on ordering a 2024 Ford Ranger but not if it doesn't have an AM radio. I live in a remote lightly populated part of Montana and listen to AM stations all the time as they have the range to reach out. I would miss the local news, weather, sports, music on the local AM stations. I...
  10. Problem towing 9500 lbs with 2021 F150 Ecoboost 3.5L hybrid

    Have had several travel trailers with empty weights between 3900 and 6000 lbs and found that switching to a heavier duty tire (LT rated tires) made a big difference in the handling of the F150's that I used to tow with. The LT tires made towing a lot more stable. Just as my opinion but it would...
  11. 2.7 Ecoboost Gas Mileage ?

    And a big thanks for that have responded as I am very appreciative of your actual experiences with the 2.7 engine. Am also considering the Ford Ranger pickup with it's 2.0 Turbocharged engine but from what I am hearing the F150 may be getting almost as good of gas mileage. Am not disappointed...
  12. 2.7 Ecoboost Gas Mileage ?

    Am considering purchase of an F150 Supercab 4x4, 3.55 gearing with the 2.7 engine and was curious as to the kind of gas mileage I could expect. I checked the Fuelly website but they don't have a category for the 2.7. This would be a second F150 alongside a 2021 with the 3.5 Ecoboost that has...
  13. Gear Oil Level in Rear Differential ?

    Does anyone know what the recommended level is for filling the Rear Differential ? I removed the filler hole plug, stuck my finger down and could not reach any oil. I added 14 oz of gear lube before the lube started to run out the filler hole. There has been no sign of any leaking.
  14. Which engine for camper use ?

    The single spring setup on the F150 is NOT of composite construction, it is spring steel. But the overload leaf spring that is part of the package is composite.
  15. Which engine for camper use ?

    Have had both the 5.0 V8 and then three of the 3.5 Ecoboosts. The 5.0 was an older one maybe 2012, can't remember. All had the 3.55 axle ratios. Never had any mechanical trouble with any of them, trade at about 60,000 miles. Have always had a camper trailer and car hauling trailer for...
  16. Steering wheel won't turn

    In the case of my Ford Fusion I still had steering but with no power assist and with the car being stationery the steering was very stiff, almost impossible to turn the steering wheel. On that particular winter day I am guessing it was cold so that may have contributed to the stiffness in the...
  17. Steering wheel won't turn

    Hope it isn't but the same thing happens to me with the Ford Fusion, turned out to be caused by mice chewing off the wires to the electric power steering. The Ford Tech that fixed it said it was difficult getting access to the wiring and that he did a lot of splicing.
  18. Adding Adjustable Pedals?

    I don't think the adjustable pedals were included with the 302a package on the XLT, it was not included on my 2021 XLT with the 302A package but was a stand alone option. It was not an expensive option as I recall.
  19. Does anyone else think the 10 spd transmission just plain sucks?

    Have to say that the 10 speed transmissions in my 2017 and now the 2021 have been great, smooth shifting both in normal use and in towing. Had the 6 speeds in my previous F150's which were good, no complaints on those, but feel the 10 speed is better. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another F150 with...
  20. 2021 F150 - Dust Intrusion Rear Passenger Doors

    Yes, have been seeing more dust on this 2021 Crew Cab than the 2017 that I traded in. I too live in a rural area with lots of dirt and gravel roads. Will have to look for gaps in the weatherstrip, thanks for the tip.
