I got wood.

$200 at my dealer.

Black Wolf ready to howl.

Request for filter and fluid change at 35K here from two dealerships was eye-opening. Dealer One: $1000. They're known to be greedy scumbags and were more than happy to perform this service. Dealer Two: $700, but service agent questioned why I would perform it at this mileage and recommended...

Was right on the money with a guesstimate of $5500. It's a happy ending. You'll have your baby back soon. Hopefully your insurance rate won't rise. Generally, this type of accident does not raise it.

That's a lot of payload. Your tongue at 5800# is around 800#-900#, so lots of headroom for passengers and stuff. It's also within the 20/100 rule where an 100-inch vehicle wheelbase is safe towing a 20-foot trailer. For every additional 4 inches of wheelbase, you can tow an extra 1 foot of...

What's the truck's payload rating.

Replace the bed side, and taillight. Had the same with a F250 that was damaged when some dipstick at Home Depot allowed one of those orange lumber carts to get loose and slam into the bed side. Huge dent. This is five years ago, but the replacement was $3500. Most likely more expensive now...

Perform the suggested yearly routine maintenance. The Ford instructions are online. It requires a specific Krytox lubricant available on Amazon. Easy DIY. About a 30 minute procedure.

That's fine, and that's what I did. Instead of letting help he didn't want just pass, he bit. There's a difference. My dad told me "angry little pricks" will be that way forever and to push back on bullies. In life and in a forum.

Some members get emails with post subjects only and not the forum location and it's not obvious when in the forum. Talking into a dead mike, Buyer2021. He's just a garden variety, angry little prick.

You got what you deserved, miscreant.
