    It's been on Ford trucks since at least 98, but I've met many people with f150's that didn't know about the extra tailgate posts. You open the tailgate and if you unhook the top cable there's a second post above it, put them both on there and then your tailgate will have about a 30 degree incline. Great for hauling lumber or something you can raise the plywood or 2x 4's up to help keep them from sliding backward

    Been a GM guy forever. I just bought a 14 King Ranch and it is an absolutely awesome truck. So many features that other brands just dont have. I never realized how well Ford engineered these trucks. Rides amazing and is fancy. Smart as hell and definitely convenient.

      Huh. After a nightmare of ownership from a 5.4 3V, I'm certain I'm never buying a new Ford again. I obviously see you got 2014, so that's not new either Funny thing is I tend to agree about the looks and drivability. It certainly is reflected in the insane prices they ask for them. I still own my 2004 FX4 crew, really only because I'm kind of "stuck" in it, if you will, for all the remanufactured money I poured into it

      @@Navyguy1990 Mine runs fine, and tows very well for a stock setup, for now LOL. I won't ever be buying Fords overpriced shit again. I'll likely be inheriting a 2014 eco boost when the old man has no more use for it. Pretty sure the early 5.4 2V was more reliable after the blown out spark plug problem was addressed. That was a minor problem when compared to the 3V nightmare. If this Toyota I bought serves me well, I'll likely stick with them going forward, if I'm to purchase again, though this very well may be the last thing I buy

    There is a small lever behind the rear seat back that if you flip it it will allow the seat back to fold down forward. I attached a paracord to a key ring and the keyring to the lever and attached the cord to the headrest bar with another type od clip. Another keyring will work fine.I use a small carabiner. Push the headrest all the way down and its completely hidden. I attached a hard plastic molle webbing behind there and there's enough room to mount tools or weapons etc etc. Its a great place to store an AR-15 etc.

    I've had the same truck since I bought it new in 2014. I love it, but it has some special needs.
    Recommendations...
    1. Don't get the chemical intake cleaning treatment or you may be buying two new turbos like I did.
    2. Pay attention to your coolant level. There is no light to let you know it's low. This truck has coolant fittings that like to leak.
    3. Keep a watch on the transmission lines to the cooler. They like to break off at the radiator. You'll be buying a new transmission if you drive it hot.
    Other than that, enjoy your truck. It's fast!

    I never knew about the diagnostic mode. My battery completely died one time and after replacing the battery, the speedometer was off by 20mph. At a stop, the needle was below 0mph on the gauge and was a constant -20mph shift. It’s been like for a few years. I did the diagnostic gauge test and it brought the needle a little closer to 0 each time I did the gauge test until it was perfect. So thank you for this!

    I just got my 2012 F-150 FX 4 Ecoboost about a month ago and love it so far! I love those cup holders as well, and removing them to allow for bigger bottles never crossed my mind. What I instantly thought as soon as I saw they are removable is how easy they will be to clean. I swear, nothing on a vehicle gets nastier than the cup holders and they are impossible to clean. Hell, with these, just take them in the house and wash them like your dishes. I bet you could run them through the dishwasher 🤔

    If you have programmable seats, press and hold the program button on the position of your choice and you'll hear a beep, keep holding until you hear a second beep them hit the lock button on your key fob. It will automatically move to that position when you use that key. Can be repeated for the second driver with their own key and will automatically go between the 2 without needing to press the button every time.

      Actually when you program the seat it's automatically on the remote
      If you manually adjust the seat after preset has been made, lock the doors with remote. The next time you hit the unlock on remote the seat will go back to preset. This also works for mirrors. The "two beeps" on the seat button is all you need for everything to be set.

    Random thing I noticed on my 2014 super basic XL 5.0. When you do a light "bump" to the turn signal, it will cause the signal to blink 3 times and stop. However, if you're towing a trailer with the lights plugged in, it will blink 5 total times.

    The 7 and 9 on the door code will lock your doors. Your door code is on the inside passenger kick panel, ford charges 40 bucks to get it. If you're on stage 2 lock/ unlock, putting a 4 after your code will unlock all 4 doors, stage 1 all doors unlock following code.

    Pre-oil prime. the turbos want oil and timing chains, if you leave your truck sitting for a few days. Push the throttle peddle to the floor and turn the key, it will crank the motor for up to 10 seconds and not start. This will prime the motor with oil, turn the key off and then start. no crazy bad noises. when you do the pre-prime turn the key and let it as long as your foot is on the throttle it won't start.
