Would I give Stellantis a deposit? Hell no. They consistently have 7-8 of the slowest selling vehicles in America.

(300)My takeaway from reading through this thread. You want a DD, that you will drive far less than your classics that have none of the extensive list of requirements that you list for the DD. That doesn't make much sense to me. After 40 years of accident-free driving, I was taken out by a...

If the Lemon Law does not apply in your state, the 5/60 powertrain warranty does apply. Ford has been successfully sued for not honoring the manufacturer's warranty. If you are ready to throw in the towel and move on, good luck to you.

Did you note that I was referring to the XLT?

My hellions are yet to take a ride in the new truck.

You have a 5 year / 60k powertrain warranty. The lemon law applies. As far as the radio, you are outside of the 3/36 warranty. There are acknowledgeable people on the various forums that can help you troubleshoot your issue and hopefully get the radio back working as it should.

Bright tag lights are useful for LE when you are on one of those police chase videos that I enjoy on YT.

Buy an angle indicator from HF for $5. It's cheap but will serve the purpose. Measure your driveshaft angle near the rear end before you do any modification to the suspension. Take a pic, in case you forget or have trouble reading the numbers. After modifications are complete, take a short...

Finally got the Clazzio rears installed. I paid $614 for the set, that included having F150 embroidered on the front headrests. I am very impressed with the quality and fit. IMO, this is the best compromise between leather replacements and slip-ons. These have zippers and Velcro that make...

dochawk: Each person's situation and strategy is different. While working, I pushed the tax liability out as far as I could.. When my wife retires next May, we will be able to start rolling over our traditional IRA's into ROTH's and stay in the 12% bracket. Unless the market crashes, we will...

Correct: "After contributing to her traditional IRA, we have about 12k left over to contribute to ROTH IRA's." This year we are putting $30,500 in her 401k, about 4k in her traditional IRA, 4k in her ROTH IRA and 8k in my spousal IRA. Our gross income -$29,200 (standard deduction) - $30,500...

it is my understanding that in some states law enforcement has been weighing non-commercial vehicles to check for overloading. It has nothing to do with "safety" and everything to do with creating a new revenue stream. Load and tow at your own risk.

Manufacturers are not required to advertise MPG's on heavy duty trucks. Yes the Superduty does not currently have a PB option, my point is that if the primary purpose is going to be towing or hauling a load, the F250 may be a better option. I went with the PB, because I want the 7.2kw gennie...

If only people would put the effort into being financially savvy that they put into being savvy with things that have wheels. We would have more millionaires in this country. $6000 extra payments on a 5% loan saves +/- $300 in interest. $6000 in an IRA or 401k saves ($720 12% bracket) or...

Once again, with enough time, effort and money, the sky is the limit.

A similar equipped F150 XLT and F250 XLT are pretty close in price, The F250 wins hands down on price if you go with the 6.8. Plus, the power extend/fold tow mirrors only cost $280 on the F250 and are not available on the F150.

This video explains towing at altitude. The video is short, but at 4:20 is the meat and potatoes. Ford says to reduce towing weights by 2% for every 1000' of elevation. Ford also says they test at an "SAE target of 45mph". Who wants to be in the right lane doing 45mph? Nobody I suspect, but...

I got over the need for speed years ago. My normal driving is in town, no load, 5-7000 miles a year. 87 works fine for me. I only fill up every 3-5 weeks. I am going to the Talladega race in Oct, that will be my first road trip in the PB. 200 miles each way. I think I will run 87 on the...

Your interest charge is determined by the principal balance and the number of days since your last payment. Example: Your loan was made on Jan 15th and your payment is due on Feb 15th. You make a payment on Feb 1st, since that is payday. You will be charged 16 days interest on the balance...

I love the KR, if I were to abandon my conservative spending habits and whip out the checkbook, the KR is the truck I would buy. The low CCC is a killer if you actually need to do truck stuff. This is odd: No added options, just the base packages. Screw, base engine, 6.5/6.75 bed. A F250...
