This CAFE is not part of the big beautiful bill. The next President can change it. Trump did this Dec 3rd. https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/12/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-announces-the-reset-of-corporate-average-fuel-economy-cafe-standards/

Here's what I would do. Little more work, but I did this to my Lingenfelter 383 Cu in. Corvette for years. Go to your local VP Dealer. Buy 5-gallon pails of their Unleaded Racing Fuel. It will most likely ( I forget) be 110 plus octane. Mix it half and half. With 91, even 1/3 mixture will...

So the 2000 dollar a piece headlamp assembles went away? I looked up trying to duplicate my truck. Can't get the 5.0 in anything but a Lariat. With the Lariat you cannot get the auto floorboard's, the 22-inch wheels, or leather interior. I see no mention of a "best' stereo" option. So, it looks...

23 was the last year a 5.0 V-8 was a option for KR's and above. Really hoping this 23 Platinum last as I can't replace it. At least not how I would prefer.

Was hoping since Mopar brought back the Hemi motor, Ford would start offering the V-8s in the luxury models again.... but no

Unless the recall or problem comes from the way their assembled, it would not make any difference. The 'components are the reason 95% of recalls take place. Not how their assembled. The problem is with the engineering and component choices. The UAW has no input on such things; they just do what...

Most of the time I select Sport, re position the rear gear to 2WD, the lock out 8-10 on my Platinum 5.0/3.73. There is one irritation spot on my daily drive. After stopping at a streetlight, I make a left turn and start up a nice sized hill. The truck will immediately shift to 3rd gear as I make...

Still thrilled at the timing of my purchase. 23 Platinum with the 5.0/3.73. Came without the auto-on -off because of the chip shortage. I would not have wanted a Ford if I waited until the 24's came out... as there no option for a fully loaded 5.0 Ford anymore. No blowers for me, and no 6...

Standard brake pads that I'm aware of fade at high temps. They either don't work as well, (just wont stop, very little grip) or they shudder when repeatedly pushed. The police pads are better at this, while sacrificing cold aggressive stops. Like trying to get a grocery getter stopped in a...

The good lookin 22-inch wheels come on the Lariat?

You will like them. They spray water a little more than the Hankooks. I notice a bit more spray pattern on the side of the truck with these retractable running boards. In some situations, they feel a little firmer, but in some instances there squishier. Certainly has that "planted" feel on...

The OEM sticker states 35 psi. I keep mine at 32 or 33. Lots softer than that 40 psi you're recommending. There is a direct correlation between higher ride pressure and rough rides. I make sure to rotate them every 5000-oil change. Most likely will feather the edge a little quicker at 33 but the...

As I went on the hunt of my first truck in 68 years, I initially wanted one of these small trucks. Didn't take but a short moment to find out you can't buy a loaded one. They just are not as nice as my loaded Platinum F-150. No auto running boards, no sunroofs, ect. There is no comparison of...

Wonder why not eliminating the 5.0 in the lower trims, instead of the higher(s)? Doesn't matter the reason, what they did stops me from trading for a better truck. I already have the better truck, IMO

When Ford eliminated the possibility to get the V-8 5.0 coyote in a fully loaded truck,,,,, they lost my future trade ins. Why would I deliberately go backwards.

I think mine was doing that and I had accidentally shut off the auto turn-on (of the interior lights). If that the case, you have shut off the door function to luminate when opened.

President, UE Local 718 while at my job of 36 years. We made breakfast cereal. Retired out of Electronic Maintenance Department, but for the first 25 years I was a mobile equipment mechanic (repaired Bobcats, Forklifts, Semi Yarddogs, Aerial Platforms, Lawn mowing equipment ect.). Retired with a...

You did not mention which engine?

What's with the X-LT? Mine are Defender LTX. Costco has Michelin make their own private label tires?

Op, I made that exact tire change 2 months ago. Had my dealer Road Force Balance them. Make sure you pay the little extra to have only this balancer! I had a slight vibration with the Hankooks. From 76-85 MPH. Even with my dealer re-balancing with the road force, it still had a little vibration...
