Horn Upgrade
I have a 2017 Ford F-250 Lariat Diesel, which has undergone numerous upgrades. I'm reaching out for recommendations on upgrading my stock horn. I'm keeping all options open
Many thanks for considering my request.

If you're after louder, there are a LOT of airhorns out there now that don't require a tank, and most fit in the location of the stock horn.
Or carry one of these (battery system of your choice):

I've had buddies buy those amazon horns, they sound worse than the wounded goose horn on my 95, I can just see a fella rolling down his window to stick a battery impact out and try to keep driving...that'll work out well.

I agree, my kids laugh at my horn. I have a 2017 and it is weaker than the 2008 Mazda 6 we have. It's almost embarrassing. I have not checked but I just assumed one of them failed. I am assuming there are two?

OP I would suggest that one of your horns has failed and needs to be replaced.

The one on my 17 failed a long time ago I really don’t remember what it sounded like. The horn is actually needed for programming as different honks signal acknowledgement. That’s how we discovered mine so I guess I’m not much of a honker!
We replaced it with one from a Buick LeSabre and it sounds good. I always thought Fords had weak horns and GM sounded good. I want one that sounds like my grandpa’s Olds 98 did!
