Our previous tow vehicles for the same travel trailer had been a 2016 5.7L (V-8) SR5 Tundra 4X4 and 2022 3.4L TT V-6 SR5 Tundra RWD. We still have a base 2003 2.4L Tacoma with manual transmission and over 210,000 miles we purchased new. The V-8 Tundra was a nice tow vehicle, but poor fuel...
We purchased a new 2024 F-150 STX 5.0L RWD (first Ford pickup) last June for towing several different trailers including a travel trailer. After completing 1,000 miles decided to tow a 4900 pound (empty water tanks) travel trailer today. Also had a local Ford dealer install a trailer brake...

Just purchased a new F-150 last June, my first Ford pickup.
Couple days ago posted a photo of the Diamondback bed cover installed. Here's some additional photos of installations on the F-150 this month, sorry did not take photo same day of installation.

Took the F-150 in for warranty work and they gave me a 2024 XLT 5.0L with factory dual exhaust for a loaner. I almost forgot how sweet the V-8 sounds with nice exhaust system. The loaner seemed to get a little better MPG around town if I could manage to keep my foot out of it when listening to...
Around town and stop & go the MPG nose dives. But on the highway it does great.
This is my first Ford pickup and bought this pickup for towing a motorcycle trailer and travel trailer. Interested to see MPG towing an aerodynamic 4900 pound travel trailer after passing 1,000 miles break-in...
With less than 1,000 miles so far, made a round trip from Charlotte NC to Johnson City TN and back, 99% interstates running speed limit, but several construction areas with slow speeds in mountain areas. Got a little over 24MPG not using cruise control. Next trip will check gallons used against...
I took our 2024 F-150 STX 5.0L in for warranty work and the dealership gave me a loaner 2024 F-150 XLT 5.0L with factory dual exhaust to drive.
I could tell the loaner was louder idling and driving slow, but it sounds great if need to accelerate quickly to merge with traffic. Last vehicle I...
We were on our first trip with our 2024 F-150 STX, less than 500 vehicle miles, and the AC stopped working, but you could still hear the fan in the dash running.
Saw a Ford dealer from the interstate and stopped. Without an appointment, they pulled the F-150 in the shop and had it fixed & ready...
Talked to the local dealer and he said the 2023 trailer brake controller kit would not work on my 2024 F-150.
Did some on-line research and found Technical Service Bulletin # 24-2117. Service procedure on page two applies, dealer followed these instructions, programmed the module and the...
Hello from North Carolina,
Just purchased a 2024 F-150 STX 5.0L last month. Really like the F-150, plan to tow our 4900 pound travel trailer with it.
This is the first Ford pickup I have owned. Used to drive F-250 & F-350 trucks at work.
Installed sideboards, mud flaps, bed mat, rear wheel...
