Request for filter and fluid change at 35K here from two dealerships was eye-opening.
Dealer One: $1000. They're known to be greedy scumbags and were more than happy to perform this service.
Dealer Two: $700, but service agent questioned why I would perform it at this mileage and recommended...
Was right on the money with a guesstimate of $5500.
It's a happy ending. You'll have your baby back soon. Hopefully your insurance rate won't rise. Generally, this type of accident does not raise it.
That's a lot of payload. Your tongue at 5800# is around 800#-900#, so lots of headroom for passengers and stuff.
It's also within the 20/100 rule where an 100-inch vehicle wheelbase is safe towing a 20-foot trailer. For every additional 4 inches of wheelbase, you can tow an extra 1 foot of...
Therefore, the deer sideswiped the length and into the light, not the bed shoving into the light.
Knowing the how is great but not much help in the cost of repair.
Yeah, sucks. Shouldn't affect your insurance rate but that's a NY perspective. Our deductible was $1000. Geico was great — no issues, no increase because we were parked.
No expert, but it doesn't look like it can be pulled out. If so, a new taillight might not fit properly because the...
Replace the bed side, and taillight.
Had the same with a F250 that was damaged when some dipstick at Home Depot allowed one of those orange lumber carts to get loose and slam into the bed side. Huge dent.
This is five years ago, but the replacement was $3500. Most likely more expensive now...
Perform the suggested yearly routine maintenance. The Ford instructions are online. It requires a specific Krytox lubricant available on Amazon.
Easy DIY. About a 30 minute procedure.
That's fine, and that's what I did. Instead of letting help he didn't want just pass, he bit. There's a difference. My dad told me "angry little pricks" will be that way forever and to push back on bullies. In life and in a forum.
Some members get emails with post subjects only and not the forum location and it's not obvious when in the forum.
Talking into a dead mike, Buyer2021. He's just a garden variety, angry little prick.
Holy shit! The first stop on the vacuous train — insult someone's stability, dude. Not at all unsurprising in this case where there's cluelessness that a thought that starts with "I'm not .... " means exactly the opposite, dude. You're transparent and a wholly unappealing shadow of a human...
We tow with a '21 XLT. When connected, the trailer running lights follow whatever the truck light switch does (it's usually set to Auto). Turn off the truck lights and the trailer lights go out. Open the truck door, the truck lights go on and so do the trailer's lights.
