My dad had a hard time climbing into my F-150 last weekend, and my wife is pretty much done jumping out of it, so I have been thinking about power running boards instead of fixed steps. I like the idea of them tucking up cleanly, but I live where winter means road salt, freezing slush, and a lot of grime under the doors. If anyone of you who have run electric steps on an F-150 for a few winters, do the motors and hinges stay reliable, or do they become one more thing to clean and worry about?

Been wanting to do this since I first got the truck, but I was very particular about what I wanted. I wanted the light to emanate from behind the grid in the vent. Gives a more subtle vibe like there’s a glowing nuclear reactor under the hood. Heh. The popular kits all just mount up in the corner of the vents and give a different look. I ultimately found some cheap strips on amazon and more less followed this dude’s method with a couple modifications: https://youtu.be/2NuThV-mEqg?is=-H9rCwMTv7P2Yn5a

Fresh off a muddy trail, stepping in carefully and hoping these mats actually hold up like they're supposed to.

I’ve always loved the giant Sync 4 screens so I grabbed an OEM kit from Infotainment and did the 3 -> 4 install in my driveway in about 40 minutes. Zero issues, every feature works perfectly, cameras/trailer backup unaffected. I highly recommend these over the Chinese Android-based junk online, but the price difference is notable ($500-$1200 vs $2200).

The display sits higher and relocates the 3-button bar to below the display to avoid a giant ugly (IMO) plastic dash kit. I would say anyone remotely familiar with popping off panels and connecting harnesses can do this themselves, the biggest “risk” is busting or losing a panel fastener. DM me if you have any questions!

This popped up for a second time in two weeks.

Anyone else have this issue?

I pulled over, turned it off for about 5 mins, then started it back up with no issues.

2021 2.7 Eco if you're wondering.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on this beautiful truck. Went to the dealership and negotiated from 80,555 to 70,500 plus TTL so about 75k out the door. I’m kind of happy with this price but for some reason my gut tells me I can still find a better deal out there. What do you guys think? Any opinions and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

So I’m going through truck ranch boat through West Jordan Utah and there is this truck I’m looking at purchasing it is pristine exterior and interior but they undercoat all their trucks and people in my corner are telling me it looks like they are covering up rust. From these photos can anyone tell me if my family is wrong or if Sam the salesman I’m dealing with is telling the truth that it’s good. He’s from upstate New York and says he’s dealt with rust his whole life and this looks spectacular. My step dad is telling me this raises concerns. They are 7 hours away so I can’t quite drive down the road to investigate myself. Please help out

Hey guys, first post here. As the title says, I have a 2025 F150 XLT with the 2.7 Ecoboost and it's 4x4. It has 10k miles on it and has already had the rear differential rebuilt by a dealer in Sarasota. It originally had a vibration at 40 to 50 mph that started at around 2,000 miles and was accompanied by a howl on deceleration. The vibration and howl went away at higher speeds and came back around 75 mph. The dealer rebuilt the rear differential and the vibration went away, but the howl remained. 1,000 miles later the vibration returned and I took it back to the dealer in Sarasota. They rebuilt the entire rear axle, new differential carrier, ring and pinion, and axle bearings. Howl and vibration were still present afterwards and they told me itis just a normal characteristic of the truck. Drove it for another 600 miles before I got tired of it and took it to another dealer in Tampa, where they rotated and balanced the tires and ended up replacing one because it couldnt be road force balanced because it was so bad. Got the truck back yesterday and the vibration is completely gone at all speeds, however there is still a slight howling noise with a slight growling feeling coming from the steering wheel between 45 and 50 mph. Does anyone else's 2.7 4x4 do this??? It can't be normal, right?

Between my phone, work phone and a couple other devices, I swear every charging spot is taken half the time 😂
Not a huge deal, just one of those little things that gets annoying when you’re in the truck every day.
What are y’all using? Any setup that actually works well?😇

Hello I have a 2018 f150 3.5
Wondering if it’s normal or not but when I’m going up hills not towing anything I get the temperature reading pops up

Thought the F-150 tailgate step was a gimmick… am I wrong?
Not talking about lifts, wheels, or anything crazy expensive. I mean the small stuff you use every day that actually made owning the truck better. What’s yours?
