    04 Slips/Slams into 1st gear on takeoff

    I had issues with my 03 4x4 5.4 L XLT last year that sounded like your #1 issue. Mine was just low on transmission fluid.

    20 year tune up questions.

    I had the front rotors done in Aug 2020 on my 2003 XLT 4x4 with 198K miles. I didn't ask for anything special. So I'm assuming I received plain/regular replacement front rotors. But this is the main reason I want to keep it!!! The vibration in the steering went from occasionally quite...

    F150 Lightning Reveal

    There will be a viable market for EVs. Just not all/every vehicle or every person. Not nearly everyone in the next few decades. For power in vs. power out, electric motors are very efficient. In terms of $ cost for that power, that is another matter which will vary quite a bit over time...

    What to look for when buying a gen 2 expy

    Expensive Sunroof Repair

    Plastic bits within the sunroof/moonroof track and slide assemblies are notorious for getting brittle, cracking and then failing. Not just an Expy thing. The repair is a lot of labor (from what I've seen anyway) Probably not something you want to do on a newer Expy, but if you can get it...

    New member - original owner

    Original owner of 03 XLT 5.4L 4wd. 195K miles. Runs and rides like a champ. But my baby just suffered its first accident! It will recover. Left front impact. Fender, bumper cover, head lamp, fog lamp, not too harsh. Now that I have a nice new looking charcoal gray front lower bumper...
