New to F150 platform

Hello all! I am contemplating going over to a new f150, never owned a Ford before. It is likely I'll be trading in a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 2017 Toyota Tundra (no issues with either, just wanting to combine both into one newer full size truck). It would be my wife's daily driver (lots of short city drives during the week). Towing would be required just once in a while.

Currently I'm leaning toward the Tremor for it's off road capabilities.

Should I go with the twin turbo v6 or the coyote V8? How has ownership been for you all? I'm seeking reliability (my tundra has 200k miles all problem free) so would this be a good platform for that?

Thanks for any input you may have!

Any advice appreciated.

Would you try and restore this 1989 Ford Bronco Metropolitan?

She is ROUGH!
But… this is my family’s Ford Bronco Metropolitan that my dad originally bought in 1994. I grew up driving this and we went on countless vacations. My dad sold it when I graduated high school. 20 years later, I found her and bought her back. I want to restore her. Several people have told me to walk away, “she is too far gone”. What do you think? I’m going to try and find another Metropolitan to merge the two, but I know that might be difficult…

F150 too rusty?

My son is looking at purchasing a 2018 F150 with only 86k miles on it. Overall, the truck looks mint inside and outside EXCEPT the top of the struts/strut housing which looking rusty. There is also some under the truck.

We live in Florida so aren’t used to northern vehicles so thinking that may be the case here….the local Ford dealership is selling it Certified Pre-owned - is this reasonable rust or ready to fall apart?

Looking for classic Ford truck willing to import to UAE

Hi everyone,
I’m a huge fan of classic Ford trucks, but unfortunately they are not really available here in the UAE.
I’m looking to buy one from the US and import it here. If anyone has a truck for sale or knows someone who is willing to sell and export internationally, please let me know.
I’m serious about buying and I can handle all shipping and import costs.

2024 Powerboost Electric Mode Issues

Anyone have issues with their powerboost not entering electric mode? Any initial start of the truck electric mode will go on and off about 2 times before never turning back on even at lights. If I cycle the truck on and off at a stop light it works normally like it always has. Been having the issue for almost 2 months and it so frustrating lol. Went to 2 dealers and had the battery and pump inside transmission replaced and still nothing! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Truck is a 2024 lariat with 20k miles

1997 ford f-super duty 2 wd death wobble!

I just picked up this truck and anytime I got between 35-45 mph I get the the death wobble pretty bad. I can’t figure exactly was causing but going up in higher speeds. I’m looking to fix it before selling because truck doesn’t work for my type of jobs. How do I fix it? Thanks

Well, I’m back in a ford

My new-to-me 2019 3.5 Lariat, traded in the 2011 Sierra for her. Definitely a much better quality than the old truck. Working on getting my CB Radio hooked up and getting a brush guard for it.

Posting mainly to see what maintenance issues I should be aware of for this model year and parts I should replace from the factory, as well as any mods yall would recommend.

Things I want to do
Brush guard
CB Radio
2 inch lift
Mud grapplers
Golight spotlight for the back
Tow Mirrors

Converted to Duraspark, no spark

Hey y’all, I acquired all the parts to make the Duraspark conversion on my 1986 F-150, so I removed the EEC and used the duraspark system. When it came time to crank the engine after static timing it, I realized I had no spark from the coil. I first confirmed I had 12 volts in both start and run, which I did, I measured 540 ohms across the distributor pickup which is normal, continuity through the distributor body, continuity and correct resistance through both coil windings, continuity through all wires on the Duraspark harness, voltage from the “i” terminal on the starter, and voltage through the ballast resistor. I then manually switched the coil primary and got spark on the secondary. Still no spark when I crank over the engine. Read somewhere that the module must be grounded to bare metal, but have seen clean ground back through the black wire on the distributor body to the module. Since everything has checked out, I assumed the module must be faulty (being a Cheap Duralast). I just replaced the module and the coil. Why might I not be getting spark as I should have the first time. And yes, I’ve gone through all the wiring and I have voltage where I should on the correct connections. Any thoughts? Thanks

Update post from 4m ago

What’s up y’all I just want to sharemy experience incase anyone’s curious about these. After using this bed mat for the past four months, I'd definitely say it was worth every penny. I hose it off every week and shake it out a couple of times during the week, and it's held up really well so far.
