    2021 F150 Platinum 4X4 Powerboost - update

    Ha, they just opened up. I think the first one in Michigan.

    2021 F150 Platinum 4X4 Powerboost - update

    Ok, I've had the F150 for 5 weeks now. Issues so far - zero. Mileage - just under 800 miles. Basically so far so good. There are 2 hot topics over on the F150 forums. Deep sleep - battery dead and rust on the rear ends and exhaust. Batteries going dead is something Ford is aware of and an over...

    TRX $91,000!

    Those things are wide. I saw my first one yesterday. It was parked in an end parking spot with the right side up on the curb. As I was coming up to it, I figured he was parking like you see Jeeps all the time but the left side was pretty dang close to the painted lines. They aren't going to be...

    Time for trade the 2019 Limited

    Ha ha! Yep, I've owned around 100 vehicles over the years and haven't found one that's perfect for me yet. Of course, there will never be one. ;)

    Time for trade the 2019 Limited

    I've got 5.5 kw Generac sitting in my garage but I'm completely electric/battery powered with all of my yard/snow equipment. Gas doesn't store well any more. Did I buy the dumb truck for the genny? Heck no. But in a catastrophe it won't hurt to have. I bought the truck because it's a hybrid and...

    Time for trade the 2019 Limited

    I haven't run across the seat back tilt issue. But mine mine has the easy entry/exit feature and memory so if I hit it I wouldn't know. It goes to my memory position when I get in. Yep, it's got a shifter. Yep, no reason for it. But I never used all of the console space that was in the Ram...

    10,000 miles in 2 months is a lot of driving for your buddy. The trucks started hitting dealers in mid December. They don't "sit and idle" using the onboard generator/inverter the truck will start and stop on its own for demand. There are some keeping stuff running in their homes in Texas during...

    Last year's F150 had a normal drop. I don't get why the decided to do that.

    I forgot to mention. I don't like that the new F150 power running boards don't drop very much. It's a big step and a short step out of the truck. It's going to take a week or two to get used to.

    Ok, it's now mine and the Ram is gone. I'm not going to bother calculate mpg until I get at least a couple of tanks through it. Every time you drive it the display comes up and summarizes the trip. Total miles, engine miles, electric miles and mpg for the trip. When you walk up to it, the...

    Rather than doing multiple quotes..... Again, I have gone back and forth with F150 and Ram for years. Both have plusses and minuses. The 2019 Ram interior is now the benchmark for all trucks. Will the F150 exceed it. No but this gen (#14) is really nice. I like the idea of the landscape 12"...

    I ran my Florida home for a week at a time during the 5 hurricanes I lived through. I used a Generac 5500kw to run my house. Just couldn't run a/c but other than that we basically lived like normal in the house. I'm confident the F150 will work in a pinch.

    Time for trade the 2019 Limited

    I'm following my history over the last 20ish years. Looks like I'm buying a Platinum Powerboost F150 today. Verbally tied it up last evening. Couple of details to iron out this morning. I want to get a deal on a Ford branded Bakflip. Then I have to wait for the storm to end and get everything...

    Trying to Decide...

    A Platinum F150 Powerboost 4X4 is coming into a local dealership. With trade values still strong, I'm going to see how big a check I'll have to write to move up. My Ram has been trouble-free but I'm getting bored with it and I'm not about to replace it with another Ram that is basically the same...

    Long term storage.

    Don't use a trickle charger because they never shut off and can actually damage a battery if unattended. During the first pandemic shut down, I put my Battery Tender on mine. I have had Battery Tenders for years. I have one on my GT500 that's stored under a cover for the winter. No need to...

    Has anyone tried 305 45 22" Tires on their stock 22" rims?

    I haven't measured the depth but they appear to show little wear. I've put about 7,000 miles on them. I'm happy with them. I fully expect they will last the rest of my ownership. A 2022 F150 Platinum hybrid Ecoboost is next.

    TRX Jump that makes you cringe!

    I think social media /Youtubers /infuencers/tiktok, etc are destroying the country. I will check out YouTube in order to learn how to repair something or possibly buy something. Not to make some moron rich....

    Thinking about getting a Ram for increased towing stability

    2500 gasser..... You will be able to upgrade the trailer without needing to swap trucks again. I've had 3/4 and 1 tons as daily drivers in the past. The biggest problem was the length with an 8' bed and box store parking lots.

    Auto high beams are useless

    I've had my truck for 2 and a half years and finally tried out the auto dimming feature last week coming back from picking up carry out. I took a back road that doesn't have much traffic and because it's dark before 5 right now I could see how they perfirm Seemed fine road signs didn't dim the...
