    New 2021 Ford F 150 aluminum truck bed.

    I wonder if any of members bought a new F150 XLT and hook up and tow a fifth wheel. How well does does it handle, is it durable, concerned about damaging the truck bed. One more thing I know the parking cameras don't work with 5 wheel or goose neck trailers. Bummer!

    Has your Ford E450 Ignition Ever Done This?

    So earlier this year, I experienced the ability to barely insert my key into the ignition and completely turn it on removing the key! Took it to the Ford dealer who "cleaned" the cylinders and then I wasn't able to get it to do this trick again...until a recent outing months later. Same issue...

    Ford Recall on 2021 FR3

    I've discovered that our 2021 FR3 34DS has a recall notice from Ford. It has to do with possible replacement of the bearings for the rear axle on the 2020 F53 chassis. My local Ford truck service manager said they'd want the rig for three days in case parts have to be ordered. You can check...

    '2017-2019 Nichols Straight Harness & Mounting Box Kit'

    If you have the Ford Factory Camera / TPMS kit, this is the relocate cable and box from Nichols that will allow you to place the 7/12 outlet into your Truck bed. New and never installed. I traded my '17 for a '20 before getting around to using it. Asking $100 US / $125 CDN plus actual shipping...

    Ford V-10 temp gauge goes to cold intermittently

    I have a 2007 Georgetown with the 6.8 and recently the temp gauge started to randomly go from halfway where it normally runs to full cold. Then for no apparent reason it goes back up and reads normally. Does not seem to affect the engine at all. Code reads P1289 Cylinder Head Temp Sens Circ...

    2018 TBHW21- Ford Explorer?

    Just bought our first travel trailer. It's a 2018 TBHW21. Dry weight is about 2,500 lbs. Tongue weight is 305, excluding the two propane tanks and battery. Recently realized that my Ford Escape, which has a tow package that allows up to 3,500 lbs and tongue weight max of 350, is probably not...

    Stereo upgrade for E350/E450 Ford

    Thought I'd share a pic of an upgrade I recently made. had it installed at Best Buy. It's a Jensen CAR10 double din with a 10" protruding screen. It fit perfectly and doesn't block anything useful. As I've gotten older it helps to see things on a larger screen, and I wanted the Android Auto...

    Ford F53 Service Manual Really Exist?

    Ive done a bit of research and know Ford does not want their Service Manuals out in the public, forcing those with the F53 to visit their Service Centers for maintenance or repairs. I get it, Im sure there are other reasons too. But, for those who still might want to tackle these repairs on...

    New Solera line built on Ford E-series?

    I’m not familiar with the Solera product line, but I’m guessing from pictures they were smaller class C models in the past, built on the MBS chassis. I happened upon a new Solera class C lineup nestled between Forester and Sunseeker on the Forest River web site. It looks like 5 “New!” Floor...
