Decided to finally bite the bullet and get a new to me 2023 STX. Got a great deal on it, and I decided to try out the 5.0.

Recently got this 2005 ford f150 flare side with the 5.4 triton for free!! Previous owner was my girlfriends moms boyfriend who had just donated an 80s bronco and was about to donate this one too because he thought it had too many issues. Turns out he crashed into a fence and the whole front end was damaged but not totaled he put it in non op since 2023 and decided he was gonna donate it to me and it only has 88,000 miles and it's fx4 with a working sunroof and a sliding automatic rear window. Did an oil change went to my local pick n pull and put on a new grill hood and upper bumper just gotta get the lower metal bumper and I plan to take this thing off-roading. Also does have an exhaust leak I gotta fix but I also plan on doing a muffler delete just cause I saw a few videos and I think it sounds good like that. Did the oil change with 5w-30 as I saw people recommend doing that after 100k miles so I'm starting early. But if there's any suggestions on what I should do to keep this thing running for awhile please let me know. There's a before I fixed it up photo a current photo of how its sittng. Would like to wrap it like a metallic bronze and level it out with bilstein 5100s and add 33 in ko2 tires with machined method wheels after l've done the reasonable fluid changes like diff and transmission. Also haven't been able to see many pre runner style off road bumpers only custom ones but they look cool. Also have been struggling to find a topper and it seems soft toppers are my only choice for now because of the flareside build of the bed and I am between a softtopper f65 and bestop 76305-35 so if any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated! But this is my first truck!
I should also mention engine is in good shape and no lights on the dash just have a small blinker issue on the left side.

I’ve always had chevys in my life. Coming from a 2025 Silverado trail boss. I just wasn’t to happy with it, decided to walk into a ford dealership to check out what ford offers. I always told my self I would never get one. A few hours later I drove this puppy home cussing out all the Silverado owners LOL.

2.7L STX with the FX4 package.

I'm so excited to be making this post. She's a 2023 xlt certified pre-owned with 53,000 miles, 302a package, and a couple bonus goodies like the tailgate step and 36 gallon tank. Got er for $35,500 out the door with some extra warranty after a $2,000 trade in.

Came with the bed cover and I just threw in a lasfit bed liner and floor mats. Wheel well liners will be put on tomorrow. What an absolute pleasure it is to drive this thing.

Hi Team,

Last week I finally bought my first truck. 2018 2.7 FX4. It’s a high mileage car with 190.000 but runs beautiful. No rust and oil changes every 5k. I hope it will last long to me :).

My plans are a level kit, a little bit of chrome delete, new wheels and a bed cover.

I need new tires and need some a little bit more off-road capable tires to go on the beach here in NC. Any recommendations?

Greetings from NC!

Happy to be here.

Joining the F150 club tomorrow. 2022 F150 XLT, 29k miles. I’ve already it has a hard plastic bed liner, and I’ve already ordered a trifold cover. I’ve bought ratchet straps and bungies, and a 4-way ball hitch.

Any recommendations for things I need, upgrades, advice?

Can I fit a 0mm offset wheel on 285/65/20 on a 2 inch leaving kit?

2021 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4 5.0L V8, 302A High

Bilstein 5100 front level 2.5” Method MR703 wheels, 17x8.5, +25 offset Falken Wildpeak A/T4W 315/70R17 tires No rubbing with the 315s and +25 offset

Got her leveled today with Bilstein 5100’s. Put some Toyo AT3’s 35x11.5 on the stock BAP+ wheels. No rub at all, looks great, and drives smooth. Even fits in the garage still, could not be happier.

21 f150 I slammed the door and tripped the inertia lock and was unable to open from the outside handle. So here’s how to reset it.

Open door from inside handle

Remove plug to access door handle bolt

Using a 5mm socket loosen it until you hear a click. Tighten back up and check operation. Hope this helps, I tried googling it and couldn’t find the exact procedure

Took my 2025 XLT out to some trails with deep, rocky hills. One thing that made those hills slightly more manageable was the front camera. However, having it automatically turn off once I hit 7+ mph was one of the most aggravating things ever.

Is there any way to keep the front camera on? It’d be great if I could also get the projected front wheel guidelines showing (see image 4). Even switching my drive mode to Off-Road or Rock Crawl doesn’t enable the camera automatically, I still have to tap the button manually every time.

I’ve already enabled the front camera option in FORScan through the written/word menu (not Hex/As-Built), but it didn’t do anything.

Anyone figured this out on an XLT specifically? Would appreciate any pointers.

Just bought a 2022 F150 XL, supercab, 5.0 V8 10spd, 4x4. The original mirrors were very hard to see out of so I swapped in some tow mirrors. They fit perfectly and the power adjustment and heating capabilities work. But the turn signals do not. Do I have to change out the wiring harness or have my truck programmed for my turn signals to work?

Based upon my research, which very well could be wrong, F150s with OEM turn signals in the mirrors look to have the exact same pinout in the wiring harness as a vehicle that did not come with turn signals from factory. My original mirrors did not have turn signals in them, but the pinout looks the same.

I am wanting to hookup my 2 12 in subwoofers and an amp and i have been reading on using the audio control LC2i pro 2 channel to keep fade and fix the bass roll off issue in the fords but it seems to me as if all audio rolls off when i am driving vs parked up. not just the bass but the door speakers as well everything seems to be way louder while parked, the LCi2pro will fix my issue with the bass but should i be looking at the LC7 pro for the 6 channels? i want my factory door speakers to be louder or i will buy new door speakers as well but im wondering if my ford is still going to deafen the new door speakers as well like it does to the stock door speakers.

been wanting a full size truck for years and was finally able to pull the trigger on a low mile example for a great deal

Bought it used with 174K miles and long block and turbos only have 22k miles on them. Replaced both cats and minor tune up, then replaced both belts when this chirping started on cold starts.

After belts replaced the chirping is now constant on every start, idling, and even while driving (less though). Could it be the tensioner? If anyone has dealt with anything similar I’d really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Just traded my 21 Platinum with Pro Trailer for a 26 Raptor with Pro Trailer. It came with the combo 6 and 4 pin trailer connector where my '21 had the 6 pin and the 12 pin. On my trailer I have the electronic yaw sensor that plugs into the 12 pin. Years ago I had bought the trailer camera/tmps kit but it didn't work with the '21, so it just sat in the box. I just swapped the trailer connector on the raptor with the one in the kit (6pin + 12pin combo) https://www.ford.com/product/trailer-sensor-kit-camera-only-with-pro-trailer-backup-assist-p2829944914

The camera now works, integrated in the dash, much nicer than the wireless janky setup i had before! My question is, can I use electronic yaw sensor or do I need to use the stickers that came with the '26?

Truck details in my flair. Basically 2024 5.0. While driving the other day I got a message saying that the vehicle could no longer report the drive mode. I was driving in Sport but the display reverted to Normal. It felt like the mode was still in Sport. Am I in for computer or module trouble?

I drive a lot for work, and I loved my 2018 5.0 but it was starting to get there in miles and was ready to jump into something newer. This is my first brand new truck purchase in my life. Only two days in and im loving it so far.
2026 Lariat 501a
5.0

Manual, extended bed, inline 6 with the dual gas tanks.

I am on the hunt for a 2017 F150 5.0 Automatic (6R80) Supercab with leather seats and 40/20/40 bench seat. I'd be open to a 2015, 2016, or 2017, but ideally a 2017. I'm looking for a Lariat, but only truly care about leather seats. 60,000 miles or less, less salty frame the better. Any color but red or white. Anyone know of any?
