I am a long time Ram truck owner and have had good service from mine, but I do maintain them well. I really want to get a King Ranch or Platinum, but while shopping I am seeing $15k discounts on Ram, and minimal to none on Ford. Isn’t “truck month” now or upcoming? What can I expect? Not...
They can’t sell it until it is replaced! Between all the heated steering wheel deletes and now this I can’t find a F 150 that meets my needs. Really disappointed as I need a new truck within the next couple of weeks. Hate to say it but probably going to have to go back with a Ram.
That’s what I thought! This is very curious. I posted the info in the recall/tsb thread as well in case someone else has seen this. Hopefully I can find out more.
I am looking to purchase this truck. Dealer said there is a hold. Javier was able to confirm. Anyone have any ideas? This truck did have the heated steering wheel delete.
Wow! Good to know they are honest about that! I wonder if this truck will get the heated steering wheel delete replaced with a heated steering wheel? THANK YOU!
Javier,
I am also looking at another truck, Platinum. Dealer said:
”The truck is currently under a stop delivery/sale. There is a recall on a wiring harness in the steering. So far all we have is a pre-warning notice, so we don't know what parts are needed ect. I have our service Dept. looking...
Javier,
I don’t want to impose upon your time unnecessarily. I am looking at purchasing a 2023 King Ranch that the dealership is using as a courtesy vehicle. I was wondering if you could glean any information from the VIN to help me with my purchase decision?

Thank you for...
I am currently shopping for upper trim levels and am shocked how many don’t have the heated steering wheel or the delete. I’m not buying one without it. I may have to go with another Ram after all… I would pay the $140 delete price if Ford would cover it.
Yes, my last Tahoe I pulled the rear seats out and never used them. Ended up selling them to a junkyard for $50. PITA to remove and store. Want flat floor with maximum cargo area.
This is why I need a truck! I know this is a Ford forum, but I would love a suburban, expedition, or whatever that could tow and have lots of secure cargo capacity without 3rd row seating. No topper, tonneau cover… ”If wishes were fishes, we’d all swim in riches.”
Would recommend a fumoto valve to replace your drain plug.

I have one on all my vehicles. I have the ones with nipple that allows you to connect a piece of tubing to it. Have over 180,000 miles total on both vehicles. No leaks, perfect operation. Love them!
“Is it a definite position rotary switch? The one in the MME just spins and spins and spins. I believe they've since changed the design, but still not sure if it's an actual switch or not. I just really hate the hall effect rotary nonsense.”
To be honest I don’t know. It does give enough...
“A better one, with physical stops and not feel like I'm spinning on some game show. The drive mode dial annoys me enough.”
Yes, my Ram rotary has detents and light indicator for each stop. It’s worked flawlessly on my 2016 which I’ve owned since new.
“The motorized running boards are particularly loud as well and actually startled me first time they retracted.”
I agree, I was just thinking the used truck I drove needed some lube.
“and its really only "motorized" is if you push the button to lower/raise it”
Yes, that is what I was referring to - when lowering and raising it. My wife and I actually laughed when we used that function as it was so bizarre in operation!
Just my observation, I’m still going to get an F 150...
