I bought it a few weeks ago and took it to get checked out, there’s more but this seems pretty bad.

If I’m not working, mine is about 3 or 4 times a week.

I want to dispel the myth that most truck owners don’t actually use their truck beds.

Qualifier: no lying

Just to be transparent: I take my trash bags to the dump twice a week and the other two times are related to yard work and maintenance on a house my parents’ have. And when my dad yells about where his tools went and I have to drive to the property, pick them up, and drive them back to their actual house.

Burned a good deal of clutch getting her home 30+ miles but we all have to start somewhere. I couldn't pass up on this one even though I'm not a Dodge guy. Owned by a gentleman who bought the truck new for a weekend gardening business and used in locally in town until he died. Truck has never seen salt and is rust free, only the smallest hairline dash crack by the Vin Number plate. Got it with new tires, all new belts, new water pump and a new radiator for $3,500.

Been searching the marketplace for a while and came across this. 1988 F150 5.0 4x4. Has some serious patina(put a little pappys on there and call it good). Need engine work. How much do y’all think it’s worth?

In financial formulas it can mean “sensitivity to interest rates”. That definition fits here, I think.

Hey guys. Attached a picture of my current truck. It’s a 2018 f150 3.5 L.
It has 35” Toyo Open Country tires w/20” fuel wheels.
4” rough country lift w/crossmembers and Rough County N3 struts

My question is this: My truck rides rough as a tank, and does so poorly in 4wd. Would upgrading to M1 struts or any other option make a noticeable difference in ride, and is my tires hurting my ride quality/4wd performance? I’m on the fence of whether to upgrade to new shocks/struts and maybe look at smaller tires, or getting a new truck all together.
Any advice is helpful!!

Cool truck and cooler owner.

So I’m wondering if I should just paint my bed myself. As before you say get bed liner. I don’t have it in the budget and I don’t wanna do it myself due to lack of experience. For context, this pickup was used as a work truck owned by my grandpa for the past 30 ish years or so. And I wanna fix it up to what I can instead of ignoring. As the bed is half metal which is already collecting surface rust. Any advice or ideas would be great. As this truck I wanna take care of for many years. (It’s a 93-97 ford ranger btw)

What started as a simple question from my buddy James quickly turned into a major operation: his entire frame was totally rotted out. Instead of scrapping it, we decided to pull the trigger and perform a full surgical transplant to save the truck.

I'm driving a 2017 f150 and every door has an alert if it's ajar. The tailgate however doesn't. After a Christmas even with the truck bed full of gifts for and from the family and an errant tailgate closure in my old Nissan and im left with some paranoia. Has anyone installed or found a decent way to alert themselves from the driver seat if the tailgate is still open or drops while driving? Seems stupid, but my rear view doesn't allow me to see the tailgate and it's since happened on my way home from camping after hitting some gnarly dirt roads.

I got a 2015 Tacoma W 140k miles any advice to make this thing last?

Saw this today.

I've always wondered why they looked the same. Why is this?

Hey guys i found this old pic of my grandpa and im trying to find out the truck he had back in the day and what better way than to ask reddit someone pls lmk!!!

I’ve got 8 oem gmt 800 rims that I’m trying to restore and this chrome is taking forever to remove. Any ideas on how I can get this done faster without a sand blaster? In the photo I did a test polish in the top right but this was before I got most of the chrome out. I’ve been using a dremel and a rotary sander.

Can I use a soft face mallet to gently mold this dent into the original shape?

New valco oil (0-20) and 2 days later i hear this sound when the car is warm so what’s this sound? Should i change the oil again or what should i do guys!

The truck has 34k miles on it
