I added some stainless steel trim rings to my steel wheels. $99/set. Done.

Tart it up all you want, it's still a cheap lightweight little truck. No way you could convince me to spend $40K+ on one. At that price point, I'm going a bit more and looking at a Ranger.

I regularly mix up my Maverick and F-250 fobs because they're the same. I panic when I can't unlock one or the other and then realize I'm using the wrong fob. Life was so much easier when we just used keys. Both my trucks are XLs and use a key for the ignition that I am forever grateful for.

Somewhere buried back in the archives when I've been unable to find it was a post in late 2021 or early 2022 identifying the source of the non-sync Infotainment system and it was just a relabeled part that Ford apparently had in inventory that was used on a previous model car (2017 and earlier...

I'd want the liners to be fairly heavy duty plastic.

I'm partial to K&N filters that have a welded-on hex nut on top which makes it so easy to remove and tighten.

In 1995 when I bought my first F350 crew cab, the sales manager at my local Ford dealer asked if this was for work. When I told him no, this was a personal vehicle, he asked why was I buying a crew cab truck. When I told him that the Suburban that I really wanted at the Chevy dealer across the...

I would have gone ahead and sprung for the 4K tow package even though I have a F-250 for tow/haul needs. Then I would have ordered a second XLT hybrid for my daughter.

I'm not sure when free loaner cars became an expectation. I guess that's the only thing that might possibly motivate dealers with piss-poor service departments.

I've got a BM2 battery monitor tied across the battery terminals of all 3 of my Fords (Mav, F250, Explorer). Each BM2 stores 30 days of voltage info but each time I walk down the driveway I tend to download the history for all 3 vehicles. At $20 each they're cheap info.

OTTOCAST for me.

Check the dates. Post is 2.5 yrs old. OP hasn't been here for >2 yrs.

DM sent.

Splurge another $20 on the Redline Tuning hood struts. No problems for me yet.

Another handy option is installing a BM2 bluetooth battery monitor right across the battery terminals. They're only around $26 and let's you know what the battery's SOC is and the app keeps a history of battery voltage.

Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Do you have a local auto parts store that installs batteries for free (Advanced, Performance, O'Reilly, NAPA, etc)? Another option is if a friend/neighbor could do this for you. It's really easy.

Ever wonder just how many bulbs a dealer's service department replaces in a year?

Get yourself a set of stainless steel trim rings to make the steelies pop! Be sure to get 1-3/4" depth.

How about an Interceptor package for the Super Duty with the 7.3L Megazilla engine (612 HP) and a supercharger. Should be good for 750+ HP.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU. Seriously, this is a bit too much brand fascination.
