Ford Trucks Thread WAS:EcoBoost Thread

Need to use this tracker, the fordtracker.tech one wasn't updated to align with the Ford API that now requires the order number.

https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/pages/tracker/

Needs both a VIN and a order number.
There used to be a dude on the f150 forum that tracked stuff but stopped doing it since everyone kept spamming him lol.

A Mazda decided to fight a Kia today, and I ended up taking a hit for it.

Who put your bilsteins in upside down?

[ShermanEF9]

No one. That is how they are supposed to mount.

Bilsteins are always label right side up, not all of them have the boot at the top. Those look right to me.

No, even bilstein says to mount them so the label is right side up. If you have a set that are intended to be mounted in that way, the stickers will indicate it as well. As far as I know, all 5100's for F150s are boot up

You always want to install our application specific B6 4600 and B8 5100 shocks so the Bilstein labeled on the shock body is reading in the correct orientation. If your shocks have been installed with the stickers on upside down then the shocks should be flipped the other way.

That is exactly what I said, label right side up. All 5100s on f150s I have seen are boot down. Here’s stage 3 which I hope know what they are doing:

Labels on mine are up. According to this video, and Bilstein tech support, you do Boots down on the F150.

I'd trust this guy over anyone.

nvm. Found a picture from install.

40mpg for the base FWD Ford Maverick sounds pretty good.
Also seems to have about the same payload capacity as my FX4 F150 lol.

Already took a look at the configurator, looks to start at $25,900 in Canadian rupees.

I can't figure it out, but something is wrong with that face. Something small, but...

[cyra1ax]

Maybe this?

Man. This is what @Buster should have bought

too small, looks like. different segment than the RL.

[Pauly Boy]

TIL learned my redneck wagon has a built in bottle opener...

[ExtraSlow]

Holy shit, now I have to check mine, I don't recall seeing that.

[cyra1ax]

The bottle openers/extra tie-down locations are a 2021+ feature I think.

[ExtraSlow]

cocksuckers. Oh well, not like I needed one to crack my AGD cans anyway.

[Pauly Boy]

I was reading about the new Maverick and the comments section was asking about if it had a bottle opener like the Bronco/F150 - Had to google wtf they were talking about, lol.

In all honestly, I'll be using it about as much as the one my sandals had back in the day.

A Marlborough Ford bro just posted on the Alberta F-150 FB group. They have 35 ‘21s in stock and want to deal.

Giving big bucks on trades they’re saying.

@Darkane thanks for the tag.

I looked at their stock online, and nothing there appealed to me. The whole reason for the upgrade for me is to get the Hybrid, and they didn't have any. And I want a non standard color. I find a lot of the standard white/grey/blacks boring. I got the Abyss grey on my 2019 as I thought it was pretty neat. Looks matt with cloudy skies, but in sunlight, it just pops.

My factory order of my 2021 has been placed though. Spec'd just the way I want it. Finally getting my tow mirrors too.

One thing I learned with the 2021 F150 lariat trim, I am going to get Ford's co-pilot 260 2.0. Has a bunch of neat features including hands free driving on some roads, all the neat little things like adaptive cruise, lane keeping and all that. I am like a magpie. OOOH! SHINEY!

This truck should do me for the next 5 or so years while I wait for the charging network available to Fords to be built up, and hopefully the speed of charge too. Once those get to levels I am comfortable with, I will probably get a Lightning.

Yeah, we’re of the same thought. I’m liking the hybrid and lightning.

I’m also very impressed with the “ordinary” 3.5 and its 400/500 ratings. So many good options.
