2023 F150 Test Drive

I went for a test drive yesterday and wasn't impressed with the handling or cab noise. I felt like the truck was shifting inconsistently and there was a lot of noise through the windows. The truck had 12k miles and was the STX trim... I think part of the reason there was more road noise too was because it had a modified exhaust and 5L.

The center console has a fold-out table then I'm not so sure I like or dislike. I currently own a 2009.

Does anybody else have an opinion on the timing of the shifting for road noise? I was playing with the modes, so I'm aware of normal, sport, and eco.

Overly squeaky

I have a 23 short bed and I’m not exactly sure where the squeaky noise is coming from but I feel like it’s excessive. Seems like it’s coming from the rear. Anyone else have similar issues

Strange noise

This noise just started the other day going over small bumps in the road. I'm rocking it side to side in this video. I doesn't sound like it's coming from any of the suspension components. I was underneath it while some one rocked it and it sounds like something hitting the frame. It's a 2017 f150 with 78,000 miles

10r Filter Bolt Snapped

I was changing my filter on my 10r80 and one of the filter bolts snapped. Should I drill and tap it or run it as is?

Hey I was wondering if you guys can tell me how to prep the xl grill to paint. I’ve never prepped anything to paint or anything of that nature so I don’t know if I could search up a universal prep on YouTube l. Seen somebody with a painted xl grill and it looked amazing.

What amp battery charger do you like?

I’m going to buy a battery charger for my 2023 5.0, which does not get a lot of highway miles currently. I see there are 1, 2, 5, and 10 amp options. What amp do you all prefer in a charger for your own trucks?

Update: I ordered the Noco Genius 5. Thanks for the input broskis!

Weight distribution hitches

I’ve found some older posts on this topic here, am curious to hear a 2025 refresh of perspectives. Folks who tow, I’m looking for recommendations and advice on weight distribution hitches.

I have a 25 KR powerboost with max tow, and this will be my primary hauler for a 5.5k camp trailer. I’m in Colorado so lots of elevation changes and crappy roads.

What’s been your xp with these and what models would you suggest I look at?

switching to 4Hi well driving

Me and my buddy having a disagreement, I say it's fine to switch from 2wd to 4hi well driving. He says you need to stop fully before switching.

F150 Backup Camera Upgrade Options?

2016 F-150 Platinum that's been rock solid, but it is almost 10 year old technology. I'm looking for a camera upgrade with better resolution that includes backup lines similar to the factory.

The reason for me wanting to upgrade is the low resolution of the camera... I have to believe it's the fault of the camera and not the screen since other stuff on the screen shows enough clarity. I've been searching the interwebs with no luck.

Anyone done this upgrade or have any info?

2010 5.4L Platinum Consideration

Looking at buying a 2010 5.4 with 47,000 miles. Show room condition & full records from dealership.. 28K asking price.

I’ve read some forums that the old 5.4L problems aren’t as common on this later model truck.

I’m debating of getting rid of my 2000 7.3L with 270K that’s a work truck and by no means a family vehicle.

Trying to view my options when staying under 30K and not buying a mid 2020’s f150 with 130,000 miles when compared to this 2010.
