Welcome Oneil! Good to see another Carolina resident on the forums. I am fairly new to this place as well, but will hand it to the more seasoned members they are great, and more than willing to help out.

Hey everyone. Found the forum after looking up some basic Q&A for the truck.

My very first vehicle I ever had, and the first vehicle I started driving when I got my license. Passed down from my grandpa.

154,000 on her so far.

1994 F150 XLT single cab.

hope to find some good knowledge on some basic fixes and mods on here!

Been lurking for awhile. waiting for our new Ford F350 DRW pretty ruby red truck to be built. Traded or F250 because we need more payload for a bigger camper. Love my 6.7 for pulling heavy loads.

Newbie

Hi. I'm new to the forum. I just purchased a 2014 F150 XLT Ecoboost. Crewcab 4x4. This is my first ford having owned many 4x4 PU Chevy,Toyota and the last one was a Nissan Titan. I am really liking my new Truck. I am stoked with the overall performance of the Ecoboost motor. I made a good choice.

Hey everyone

I'm a newbie from New Bern.
I have a 2001 Ram 1500 that has become undependable and needs a good going through...So I bought a new 2015 F-150 XLT Supercab 2x4, 2.7 V-6 (w/302a equipment package) Flame Blue
I've been wanting one for a while and the aluminium body & the 2.7 V-6 was the clincher. I traded my 2000 Explorer Sport which was running fine but had several issues other than mechanical (window leaks, door locks & handles broken, etc).

2001 Ford F-250 Crew Cab 5.4 Super Duty

Heading out tomorrow to buy a new used motor for my new used truck. Trying to decide if I should tackle the swap myself or leave it for the experts. I can barely remember what my name is say nothing about where that bolt was!
