  1. Engine Temperature During Steep Climbs

    Cedar, do you have a front license plate? If so try this. I haven't had any issues climbing mountains in Wyoming at similar temperatures. (40) Alternative Front License Plate Location for Eco-Boosts. | F150gen14 -- 2021+ Ford F-150, Tremor, Raptor Forum (14th Gen) | News, Owners, Community...
  2. 2025 BAP grill color up

    Looks good! Even the license plate matches.
  3. 23 Lariat. Underwhelmed by the fog lights.

    Underground LED did list any option for 2024 Lariat. Took a picture the other night to illustrate the difference in illumination between low beams and my OEM LED fog lights (no fog present).
  4. Powerboost - ICE never shuts off on trip?

    Rocket, how is the truck running today? I had this happen to me. The truck never went into the electric mode for 6 start/stop cycles. I checked the wire connection to the starter solenoid which was secure. Then the truck started working fine since. The electric mode that is. This occurred...
  5. 2025 OEM Projector Headlight dark spots

    Spaced, got you a picture of my 2024 Lariat low-beams. I did it an a dirt road that was light in color. Best I could do without snow on the ground. I can now see a faint dim spot in the center of the beam. I have not noticed this before, especially on dark surfaces like pavement. Note that...
  6. 23 Lariat. Underwhelmed by the fog lights.

    Unfortunately, the 2024 Lariat 502 already comes with LED fog lights which makes these lights even more disappointing. They were so weak in the fog I experienced, when I turned off the low-beams, I had to stop the truck as the fog lights could only illuminate the road just in front of the...
  7. 23 Lariat. Underwhelmed by the fog lights.

    So, fog lights are not designed to drive in fog? I've lived in the San Joaquin where fog can last for weeks on end. A fog event wasn't worth talking about unless it was a 3-striper or less (number of strips you could see on the road at one time). On my last truck, I ran with my fog lights...
  8. 23 Lariat. Underwhelmed by the fog lights.

    I have a 2024 Lariat and already have adjusted the fog lights up. They are weak at best (hope 2023s are better). IMO, they are weak because the beam is spread wide to provide lighting to the side when turning the wheel. The result is to little light going forward to pierce the fog. I drive...
  9. Did my truck come with the correct spare?

    If you need to use your 4WD to get back to where you can get your flat tire replaced, your SOL. Ford recommends only using 2WD when you install the 18" temp on an F150 with 20" tires. I've had to use my temp tire for complete blow-outs 3 times in the last 20 years. I spend a lot of time where...
  10. 2025 OEM Projector Headlight dark spots

    I'm headed out of town and will be at least a week plus before I can take any pictures. Tonight, I drove in dense fog. The '24 fog lights have a very wide pattern so they can illuminate around corners when you turn the wheel. Thus, there is insufficient light in front of the vehicle to pierce...
  11. 2025 OEM Projector Headlight dark spots

    Spaced, I spent a lot of time driving at night in the snow and Wyoming darkness this last week. It was much easier to observe my headlight characteristics in these snow/dirt road conditions and focus on your comments. Before this, I had not noticed that my headlights moved left and right with...
  12. 2025 OEM Projector Headlight dark spots

    Spaced, thanks for the clarification. I see what you are talking about now. I would have to say I have not noticed any light reductions in the beam. edited to provide correct content
  13. 2025 OEM Projector Headlight dark spots

    Spaced, this picture clearly shows the point I was trying to make. Note that the dark dip is to the left of your truck's centerline, e.g. in the oncoming lane. I'm in the Wyoming Rockies this week driving on snow in the dark of night. As you pointed out, the snow highlights this "feature"...
  14. 2025 OEM Projector Headlight dark spots

    Space, I think you need to raise your low beams up a bit more. I have a 2024 Lariat and mine do not have this pronounced dip in them. I have a 2023 Telluride with LED headlights. They have a well-defined widow's peak in them on low-beam which is much smaller than what you showed. I have...
