  1. Ford F-150 Hybrid Once Again CR’s Least Reliable Vehicle

    I used to be an avid Consumer Reports subscriber and reader. But over the last few years I have noticed that their reviews seem not up to stuff. Ordered my ‘24 PB in April and it was delivered in mid July. During this time, my credit card had expired at CR. They sent me an email that my truck...
  2. AGATE BLACK F-150 (2021+) Club

    Henry Ford to GM: The customer can have any color as long as it is black
  3. US (and Canadian) content

    I think it’s a combination of Mexico and China. I would prefer to buy a vehicle with majority US content, but only foreign owned automotive manufacturers do this.
  4. US (and Canadian) content

    When I picked up my F-150 in July, I was surprised that the window sticker did not list the domestic content but rather a marketing message that the F-150 was the best selling vehicle for 47 years. Last time I purchased new vehicles was in 2014. My Corvette was 70% American content and my...
  5. Anyone know how to get rid of this message? "Full view not available"

    On the MY24, you can leave the rear view camera on when driving? However there is a message “Full view not available” which blocks seeing the cars. Any one know how to get rid of it?

  8. 5.0 vs Powerboost Engine

    Love your analogy, but at my age that one night stand sounds better and better…….
  9. 5.0 vs Powerboost Engine

    Ordered my PB in April 2024 and took delivery in mid July. Started to read all I could on the forums about the F150 since it was my first. Of course, engine type came up repeatedly and I thought I made a mistake buying the Powerboost over the 5.0- the 5.0 fans ranted about it being ‘legendary’...

  11. Battery

    My view on the instrument cluster shows this: Have read a lot of issues about the BMS Does any one know what the 14V is measuring, the battery in the hood, the one in the rear seat or both? I have a MY 2024, Lariat PB with 3K miles. No issues yet with battery (should I say yet?). Ford had...
  12. How Crazy Am I? Ram 1500 vs F-150

    I started off wanting a 2024 Ram Limited when they the manufacturer was giving 10% plus dealer discount. Test drove one and it was fabulous. Dealer called me back and I test drove another. The salesman let me drive very aggressively in a Lowe’s parking lot. It was amazing at handling. I looked...
  13. Tie Down Cleats

    Thanks for the info. Would you know how I would find what fits on the new style plates? Ford just have changed them for a reason is my thinking.
