For probably the last pickup I will have, I wanted to step up jus a bit from basically base v8/stick trucks. Also, for the last 15 years dealing with shortbed trucks, this was not in the cards again. I wanted an 8’ Extended cab 4x4 with console and a v8. Not a lot of fluff, but I wanted some...

I ordered these wheels for my XLT Nicer and bigger than base XLT wheels. Relatively inexpensive Don’t care if the neighborhood dogs pee on them

Apple I get this all the time

I bought a new 2005 Ranger and right out of the gate had braking issues. Told service 3x sticky caliper and all they did was turn rotors and drums. 30,000 later after being told it was my driving habits, 3 brake jobs, it about bounced me off the hiway on a trip for my dads funeral. Took it to a...

(Blond, blue eyed Polack here—-trifecta of idiocy) Just took my pickup to the Ford Store for it’s first scheduled oil change. While there asked one of the sales guys (my sales guy was off today) to help me figure out why CarPlay does not work anymore. (In my defense, while figuring out how it...

not sure if it was this thread or another, but he had to let the F350 go because of the HOA NAZIs in his division. I recall an issue my brother had at one of his homes. They would not allow him to park his ElCamino on the property because it was a truck and had the mandatory California...

no power boost for me——coyote But perhaps the Grabbing and extra effort is related to the brake generators activating? Pretty sure electric power brakes are across the board along with electric power steering. since all of my cars behave differently from the other regarding steering and...

Not sure about this as I had been driving sticks since the 70s and this is my first AT truck ( used trans for most braking) Also this is the first year of electric power brakes. I noticed a light rumble the closer I got to nearly stopped only after some on this forum brought it to light. could...

that’s how I did it

these have just recently become available. I have waited for mine since Feb, and it was just installed a week or so ago..

That trailer probably has some weight to it, so this is what I would do. set it in the middle and go from there. You don’t really want it dragging you to a stop before you’re ready to stop, but kinda needs to bring you down safely without locking up. I have not yet bothered to do anything with...

not a resident expert but, it has been my experience that brakes last much longer on manual trans vehicles, probably due to the engine braking that is not really there in the AOD transmissions since the 80s my 79 c10 with 430k on the clock is only on its second set of pads and shoes. Mostly...

Since Sync4 is standard across the board, that is pretty handy, and I see no point in deleting that for just am/fm. All of my subscriptions have expired and I pretty much only use my phone for music and if needed, navigation. XL starts around 30k and I guess moves up to the 40k range with...

Every one of the Mach Es in my dealers showroom show as being sold

I drive on a regular basis 3 other vehicles, so my take will be “just characteristic of this particular vehicle.” Lot of pedal travel in my 98 k1500, but firm when it gets there, and winds down pretty quick if the road is dry. 65 Ranchero, (with discs - Toyota, Chevrolet, Ford parts) not a lot...

I just use the phone in my pocket. gave up on CarPlay and just use the BT. also help me to make sure I have my phone with me—the display tells me no device and it goes to a radio station

I have a leather wrapped wheel in a 301a

There is a truck dealer near where I live and his inventory is predominantly white F250, F350, Transits, and f150 XL, with a few base Expeditions. probably about 75-100 vehicles in his lot. he does have a smaller lot with the higher end packages (in color), but those are not his forte. He is...

Looking to get one of those myself

I get that the Lightning name seems appropriate for the electric version, but that name really should be reserved for another high performance street version of the pickup. Regurgitating old names for a new product is kind of annoying to me. The new Charger has too many doors. The Mach E— too...
