Hey everyone. I just picked up my first ford in a long time (as you can tell by my immature screen name); a new-to-me 2016. I figured I’d say hello and get reestablished on the forum as I’ll likely need help diagnosing things in the future.
2016 king ranch 5.0. Single owner, no accidents that I know of, 100k miles.
things I did last weekend:
- all fluid services (diffs, t-case, brake, coolant, trans
- changed front hub assemblies (and 4wd actuators while I was in there)
- upgraded to sync 3.4 w/ newer usb ports
- rewired the connector that melted for the cooled seats
things I’m doing this weekend:
- shocks and struts
- alignment
- spark plugs
- drive belts
- trans mount
- try to sell the tonneau cover and get a spray in bedliner
Congratulations !!! Nice truck !! We have a 2017 K/R in the White Gold color with a 3.5. We ordered it when I was a service writer. It just now turned 18K on the clock.
FWIW, if you clay bar that truck, put a good coat of wax on it, and "2" coats of Colinite 845 on it, that paint will look really deep, and the color will "POP". FWIW

Thanks for the suggestion! I love metallic whites and was excited to find such a clean one. Reminds me of the satin white pearl wrx I had when I was in my early 20s.
No as of now I’m planning on keeping it stock. Don’t get me wrong I think it would look better but in my old age (36) I’m worried about affecting ride quality and wearing out Front end components faster. I haven’t done much research on it yet.
I’ll probably do it and grab some all terrains when these new highway tires tires wear out.
