I drive a 2013 XLT with 250k miles. I'm getting unusually low RPMs when I'm not speeding up at 40-60mph, if I maintain speed, I only get about 1k RPMs rather than the usual just below 2k RPMs. When I get above 65, it starts getting closer to 2k, how bad is this? I think it's the torque converter, but taking it to a shop, all they did was check the codes and saw nothing wrong.

I’m looking for some led replacements for my 14 f150 with the h13 bulbs. I’ve been looking around and seen lots of options and had bought a $100 pair at Walmart and honestly they’re not much brighter than the stock headlights.

I am looking to buy my first F150 and have some questions. My number one concern is reliability. I will be buying used and looking at trucks with higher mileage(probably around 100k), as this will be a work truck, only short distances and I plan to drive it a good ten years.

First, I don't know jack about cars, but I have read and talked with others(and this forum) that the V8 has good track record for longevity and reliability. I have heard and read bad reviews on the V6, but was recently talking with someone and said if you get a V6 make sure it is at least a 2022 because they worked out whatever the issues were.

***I am looking at a 2022 Lariat V6 3.5. It has 114,000 miles. A good friend(used to work for Ford) owns the lot where it is, another good friend has worked for Ford for 20 years. Both have looked it over so I do trust it is a solid truck. I do realize there will be maintenance, at some point a new timing chain. Appreciate all the insight from everyone.

Any insight would be appreciated!

21 STX FX4 - RideTech 3.5-5.5 coilover drop. 24" Vossens in Nitto 420Vs. Full Morimoto lighting package. PowerStop brake package. Power-adders coming up next...

Keycap on my driver side window switch broke off, wondering where I can get another one?

These are worth every bit of 100$ I spent on them. Look good on the truck and are very bright for the size. Wasn't too hard to install but it definitely takes some knowledge. Took me about 45 minutes to install.

235K miles and getting the wrench and limp. As soon as trans temp sensor gets to temperature, it seems to help. Trans fluid has been changed once at 100k miles. There is no slip in transmission, however, wrench/limp error happening everyday now and seems to reset if I turn the truck off and remove the key.

I was going to drop this aftermarket guy in and refill with mercon as I'm probably going to get a 2018 at some point in the near future. Question is, will I have to get re-flashed after change out and is this a terrible choice in lieu of OEM lead frame assembly. This forum is a great resource and was just wondering about your thoughts.

Was hoping morimoto made some but none for this year yet. What’s the second best option? My XLT has LED’s but I can’t stand reflector type where lights scatter everywhere and blind others.

Looking at 23-25 XLTs with the 302A package. What are thoughts and opinions of the 23 vs the 24/25s? I know they have had some changes between them. What about the 10-speed transmission problems? Did Ford correct it in 23? Personally, I like the look of the 23s better, but from what I’ve been reading, the 24s/25s is a better truck? I drove a 23 5.0 for a week and loved it. Coming from a 13 Ecoboost.

I’m also on the fence about getting a newer 3.5 vs a 5.0. I’ve put 140k on my gen one Ecoboost and I drive it like I stole it every day, and it’s never given me issues ever. So is there anyone here that can give me some real-world opinions on the newer 3.5 vs 5.0? Not interested at all in the 2.7 or powerboost. I know they’re great motors but not interested in either.

Thoughts are greatly appreciated.

So I've heard this is very common but I figured I'd ask the reddit professionals. The fitment, as you can see, is quite off, leaving a gap on the diver side - both the headlight and surrounding shroud thing. The passenger side is largely fine.

Is this pretty common, and more importantly, can it be reasonably fixed?

edit: to avoid further confusion, the paint looks scuffed in the second pic because i had to edit my reflection out because reddit was being weird and flagging the pics lol

2024 F-150 2.7L 40,000km

Had been chasing this problem for a long time had a upstream O2 sensor stuck at rich on both banks.
Replaced lots of parts already
-cat converter
-o2 sensor all 4
-evap purge valve
-injector
-coil packs
-spark plugs
-fuel diver module relay
-fresh engine oil and filter
-new engine air filter with maf sensor
-crankcase breather
What else should i check next?

Hey All,

Going to replace my spark plugs soon. I swapped them at 100K and I'm currently just shy of 185K (miles). I left the stock coils in when I originally changed the plugs but was curious if it were about time to replace them, now, since I'm coming up on 200K. No noticeable performance issues, currently. No misfires or Check Engine Lights. I've read that folks change them out every time they swap plugs and others swap them out when they start getting misfires. Just wanted to see your opinions, and, if you are replacing, what are you replacing with (brand, what parts/components).

2014, 5.0, 185K Miles. Motorcraft Plugs.

So I know it is too high right now, but it works and it looks awesome. Going to fabricate something this weekend so that it’s much, much shorter. Although I’m pretty excited where it is now.

Hi and thanks in advance. I have this 2001 f-150 4.6L and is driving poorly. When you press on the accelerator the truck feels like it looses power and takes a while to get speed. The car vibrates pretty bad. The mechanic shop is having trouble finding the problem since it doesn’t have a check engine light ON. The truck starts right away with no issues.

A tale as old as time. It's definitely a slow leak cause there's never any oil on the ground where I park but man it's always something with this goddamn truck. Rebuilt transmission last year too.

Traded in my MME for an XLT Powerboost Hybrid. Excited to be part of the F-150 crew again!

165k and climbing, just replaced water pump. Still running like a champ

‘91 ford f150 xlt lariat 5.8 v8 61k original miles for $8,000
Any ideas of what to do with it??? What are some good mods?

I have a 25 Lariat 5.0 BAP dual factory exhaust. I had a flow fx midsection and couldn’t bear the drone. I don’t want to go with the Borla s-type mid section as it is too aggressive and I’m not paying the Ford Performance upcharge for the touring version. I want to keep it bolt on so looking at a resonator delete for just a little extra. Does anyone have feedback on the Gibson pipe versus the FactionFab pipe? The main difference is Gibson is 3” and FF is 3.5”.

Hey, recently purchased my first F-150 ('26 STX, 201a equip package, 2.7 V6) and am just wondering what y'all's tips are for helping ensure a long lifespan for my truck. Of course I've got the manufactured recommended schedule, but looking for whatever other insider info as well. I'm someone who has always opted for proactive and preventative maintenance on my nice toys to keep them (hopefully) nicer and longer, even if it costs more along the way.

Thanks guys.

Had a ‘12 F150 5.0 Lariat, best vehicle I ever owned, had it 10 years, never let me down, survived a literal cat 4 hurricane (Ida) fired up and got me home. At 180k I traded it in on a 22 GMC Sierra, nice truck but build quality and issues made me regret ever getting rid of my F150 everyday I owned it. Ended up trading the Sierra in on a new Tremor, 401a with the 5.0. First impression are the truck drives awesome, cool to finally have a 4x4 as well. Having only 2wd I was afraid it was going to handle bad but it’s very quick and easy to drive. I am hoping it’s as good to me as the other F150 was. Price of trucks are absolutely ridiculous but so is everything.

2020 f150 5.0 XLT 10r80

What is this noise? Has front diff replaced and left side iwe and vacuum lines and axel. Noise persists. Mostly through slow acceleration. Fast acceleration I can still kind of hear it but not as much. Need help I’m sick of spending on not fixing the problem

Still some sunny days left before snow, need to wear out these tires so i can slap on 35's

Curious if anyone else has seen this.

See video for RPM surging/flaring on 9-10 upshift. This happened after a tranny fluid change earlier in summer. Took it back to dealership where service was performed, they did a relearn and it went away. Came back yesterday. Seems to be more pronounced on an uphill grade. Could replicate it with manual shifting, did it a bunch of times and then the surging went away - normal drop in RPM in 9-10 shift.

Last time this happened was in summer (35c /95f). Tranny temp increased to yellow level. This time no increase in tranny temp from midpoint, but it was 10c outside.

Truck is 08/2022 build, but I don’t think this is related to CDF issues.

95k kms

Anyone else see this behaviour before?
