Hi everyone, Back in February 2011, I traded my ST and bought a 2011 F150 FX2 cause I was upgrading my camper and needed a bigger towing truck. I stop in from time to time just to see what's going on. Specs are: 2011 FX2 SCAB 5.0L Blue Flame: 20" FX Cast Alum Wheels...

It's been 6 months or so since the last time I've been on this site. In February, I bought a 2011 F150 FX2 and been loving it. What a great truck - great power (5.0L) and looks awesome. MPG's are between 20 - 24 highway depending on speed (of course) and head wind, These things are NOT...

Was thinking of getting a CAI for my new truck through Torrie and wanted some more information as to pro's and cons. I've read a few blogs and very few say when installing it throws cell errors - very rare. Torrie has sent me information on the AFE Stage 2 CAI and I just don't know...

Well, we made the move to a new RV (Toy Hauler). Picked it up this past Saturday and LOVE IT! This is our 4th camper so I'm not new to the show. We have two ATVs and this is perfect for us. Issue is that with the two ATVs, all my gear (camping and otherwise), fluids, and us, I'm real...

We just bought a toy hauler and I'm getting conflicting numbers regarding my max tow capacity. I have an 07 with the 4.6L V8. I thought my max was 7,200 but I've heard several different things. I've heard 6,800 for the 07 and the newer ones go up to 7,200 lbs. It's a stock ST...

I recently upgraded my trailer's existing crank tongue jack to an electric tongue jack. During that upgrade, it was determined that one of the electrical connections was not working - the one that is supposed to power the trailer refrigerator while towing. In the past, when we towed the...

Leaving in the morning (Friday) for the long weekend. Going to a place called L-Cross for a weekend of ATV riding, mudding and adult fun and games. It's near the northwest tip of Lake Okeechobee Florida. Just had weight distribution bars installed on my pop-up toy hauler so it'll be the...

I know there was a recent post regarding a loud noise - what seems like a fan turning - when starting off. I got that noise from time to time in the past but lately, it's about 40% of the time. When starting off - it sounds like the fan is spinning at the highest speed - very loud...

... those little black plastic "Button Clips" that hold on plastic panels. Specifically, the button clips that hold the tailgate cover on the inside of the tail gate and the top rail as well. Torrie... can you help? These are pretty standard size clips - does an auto part store have...

We've been looking for a while now and we finally bought an ATV. :banana::banana: 2008 - (brand new - ZERO miles) Can-Am Outlander 400 4WD. Deal we couldn't refuse - $1,600 off because of rebates and haggling, with a manufacturer two year bumper-to-bumper warranty (not extended). Paid...

The plastic top rail of my tailgate is very loose. I haven't removed it yet but it seems like there are probably plastic pegs that poke through the metal tailgate that have sheared off. It's not going to fall off because the plastic piece is screwed to the inside of the tailgate but when I...

I hope I'm posting in the proper place - I am talking about my ST. I ran a Blue Book (KBB.com) value on my ST and got a range of 13,000 to 17,000. I know the dealers will ALWAYS offer the lowest value listed - no matter what the condition is. Those of you that know me, know my ST is in...

I'm curious as to the changes to the new model - engines and so on. Oh yeah jimp, the 2011 F-250s are already available! :supercool:

Is there a source out there that shows what the vehicle costs the dealers? I know that Cars.com shows the invoice pricing but I know the dealers pay substantially less then that. Thanks

I was curious as to cleaning injectors. My wife has a Mercury Mountaineer - same engine as my ST. She was told at her last oil change that they should be cleaned every 30k miles. If yes, can I do it myself? I don't see anything in the maintenance manual about that. What do you...

Does anyone know if I can add the outside cargo tie downs to any truck? Or should I ask... does anyone know how these tie downs are fastened to the body of the bed? One of the nicest ST features. The inside tie down hooks are useless when the truck is loaded and the cargo covers up the...

Well, I just got back from a trip to Orlando (from Ft Lauderdale) and the trip up was fine. :driving: Filled up with "real gas" and got 22.5mpg. :banana: The trip home was different. Filled up with the fake crap and got 19.2mpg on the way home. All the conditions were the...

I'm looking to upgrade my 07 ST to either an F-150, Silverado 1500 and RAM 1500 in the next year or so. Looking to get a higher tow capacity - 10K pounds. After the basic research I've done, it looks like they all are in the 14 - 20 mpg range when comparing apples to apples but I'd like to hear...

Does anyone know if Fords 5.4L 6 speed transmission is the same at the ST's 4.6L 6 speed?
