And you are sure that Ford has not value engineered the fuel pump for the expected duty cycle like they have every other part on the truck and you've measured the fuel pump temperature to confirm that it doesn't get hot?

I saw you ignoring good advice. Simply offering up another viewpoint for anyone else to consider. The gas tank is part of a complex system in every modern vehicle and the fuel pump uses fuel for cooling in every vehicle. The vehicle does its best to protect you from yourself and survive to...

Overfilling the gas tank is bad for the EVAP system. The fuel tank is bigger than where the gas pump shuts off for a reason. Running the tank all the way down to empty is bad for the life of the fuel pump. The pump uses the fuel for cooling. Less fuel, less cooling. It's your truck so do...

Got it installed! This is the TracRac TracOne with 5.5" cut off the height and 10" cut off the crossbars. Height is set to match a roof rack that's not installed. Got it for about $300 open box off Amazon. The roof rack was $220. It flexes pretty bad so I am going to try to stiffen it up...

Yeah, I got the plastic trim off. There are three bolt heads along the length of the bed and I guarantee that is what is holding up your rail and not the plastic supports. I could see where they just folded in half where I clamped down mine. There's no bolt head near the cab so that's the...

If you mean the raised part around the outside, I tried that with an extra strip of rubber on the lower section of the plastic, because there's about an extra half inch of the base that sticks into the truck bed if you don't. But I tried moving it further in as well without any real change...

I'm in the process of installing a different model of Tracrac that doesn't have the rails. I've learned it's impossible to properly torque the clamps holding it without crushing the plastic which has a large void under it. With the rails you have spreading out the load I guess you're able to...

No, it isn't. Read the sticker on the driver's door frame. It tells you right there where it gives the payload rating that it includes occupants and cargo.

His transmission didn't wear out because of lack of maintenance but his RDU did:

Funny story about front plates. Back when I was in high school my state did not require front plates, but they do now. My dad's '89 Toyota pickup I was driving did have a front plate on it anyway, most cars did. Was on the way to school on a winter day with some snow on the ground and some...

I'm really impressed that they figured out a way to make me hate the front end of it even more than I did before.

You get 2 anchor points near the cab that are up near the rails, two near the tailgate that are a few inches above the bed floor, and two on the tailgate. You are missing the D-rings in the floor near the cab and another pair of anchors near the tailgate that are up higher. You get pretty...

A lot of NH people in this thread. I bought my Mav (XL, 4k tow, HPR) off the lot from Grappone in Bow, NH at MSRP about a month ago. They do have an XLT on the lot at MSRP but it has pretty unusual options. They were marking up previously but the tide is starting to turn. I got pretty lucky...

That really sucks. A Lariat ecoboost shouldn't take too long to get built at this point. If it was a hybrid or XL that would be a different story. If the dealer wasn't bending over to make it up to me, I would be taking my order elsewhere.

You're so disappointed but you gave Ford your money for it. Your wallet speaks louder than your typing on the internet. If it really mattered to you, you would have just bought a used 22 or 23 or kept what you had.

Even if you say that the real percentages were 64.01 rounded up to 65 and so on 64.01+26.01+10.01 = 100.03% and that doesn't make any sense. It should not add up over 100% and that is not counting XLT non-lux at all. 02/27 XLT lux 27% 02/12 XLT lux 29% 02/05 XLT lux 16% 01/29 XLT lux 15%...

1500 lbs is the total payload which includes the driver. So you can put 1500 lbs in the bed, but you can't then get in the truck and drive it. Well you can, but you're overloaded.

It's worth mentioning that it's very easy to add the bed cubby and extra tie down points to the XL. There are plenty of threads on here with the part numbers. Or if you order the bed rails that includes the extra tie down points. My XL has two bed cubbies which you can't even get on the Lariat.

If you are not going to add the luxury package or some other package like FX4, then you might as well just get an XL and upgrade the wheels yourself if you can't stand the steel wheels. Especially if you live somewhere it snows and would put snow tires on the steelies. There is very little...

Was driving down a 50 mph backroad with a full size pickup pulling a double axle trailer in front of me and 18 wheeler behind. I start hearing this sound like an industrial lawn sprinkler chh chh chh chh. There's a big field off to the left behind a row of trees and I thought it was some kind...
