If you get a spray in liner from the factory (or any other add ons) and you get a little yellow sticker next to the payload one saying "deduct XX lbs" for them. Payload is how it rolls off the line, anything added, even port additions, takes a bite out of it.
Because your payload isn't just what's in your bed or on the tongue. You, anything you put in your cab, your passengers, all their stuff, any mods or add ons, etc. are all part of payload. If your tongue said you could put max payload on it, then there'd be no tolerance left for the driver or...
Shielding the thermometer from the direct sunlight is not the same as the temperature in the shade. They have to shield the thermometer, otherwise you are measuring surface temps instead of air temps.
No, the temps I am mentioning are THE HIGHEST RECORDED. Period. You're not hitting higher temps in kuwait than the highest temperature ever recorded on the planet.
There is no debate. You are wrong. Asserting otherwise is stupid.
As far as I can see, you are either a very committed troll, a...
Well, you're wrong, because 129° is the hottest temperature Kuwait has seen since temps have been recorded. The hottest temp ever recorded wasn't even 180°, so you're simply wrong. Period.
You can cook an egg on the pavement in Arizona and parts of California as well. Go use google. Search what...
The highest temperature ever recorded in kuwait was in July of 2016 and it was 129.2° F. You're only exaggerating it by about 40%. Totally helps your credibility.
California has been hotter than that, too.
It's not my narrative. I'm just saying it's news. Previous model years had loads of issues and there's that whole recall thing, which was part of why I went for the 5.0 in the F150 over the Tundra in the first place.
You're painting me as a fanboy carrying water for Toyota. I'm not attacking...
Perhaps the higher trim Fords have better build quality, but the panel gaps on my XLT were atrocious. The interior was flimsy and full of cheap plastic as well. Don't get me wrong, Ford got plenty right, and some they did better than the Tundra, but overall I feel better in the Toyota.
As for...
Over the weekend I traded my 2024 F150 5.0 XLT on a 2025 Tundra Limited. Not for added features, as the Ford had plenty and then some, and actually executed some better than the Toyota.
I did it because the build quality was not up to snuff on the Ford, and for the second time in 12K miles the...
It's in the base. It feels how I would imagine a loose seat bolt would be, but I can't find one loose. I'll have to check more.
I'm still mulling over the whole thing. Financially it makes the most sense to keep what I have, even with my complaints.
4 auto is easy mode for a pavement princess if it sees inclement weather. You get the benefit of 4WD without having to turn it on and off for patch slick stuff or turning into parking lots. Its a convenience feature.
I don't mind turning my 4WD on/off as needed, so it's not a value add for me...
Ah, I would only buy the Crew Max because I love the roll down rear window and double cabs don't get that feature. It's nuts to me, because it's always a popular feature. Unless there is a copyright on it or something, I am surprised that other manufacturers haven't copied it.
We are ALL picky...
If I had those issues with it, I'd be out as well. However, my response to each:
I've never had 4 Auto so it's not a deal breaker for me.
Comfort is subjective. I'll definitely put ass time in the seats to be sure I am okay with it before making any drastic decisions.
I don't actually use the...
I'm actually thinking about dumping the Ford to get the new Tundra, and I've been staunchly in the V8 camp forever.
The 5.0 is great, but the transmission has behaved in ways that make me less confident and the build quality is lacking. The gaps around my grille/headlights are way off, the...
So the dealership said my transmission fluid was at the proper level, but they did dive into it and check all the parameters. I can't remember what all they said, been dealing with a lot since then, but it wasn't anything bad.
Anyway, I've not had any really hard shifts since taking it in, so...
They had to link my up to a computer to fix it. I would call ahead because they won't do anything during a normal oil change visit. Ask me how I know.
They have to schedule in a tech, so you need to get a spot reserved.
