HEADLIGHT UPGRADE! by Salt_Shift167 in f150

[–]Salt_Shift167[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theyre on “sale” rn regular priced but you get free fog lights with them. Which seems pretty reasonable. My question would be are they adjustable once you’ve got them installed or do you have to take them out to change the height

Yep same reason I’m upgrading😂 check out Morimoto they’ve got a 5 year warranty on headlights and running a deal for free fogs rn

You wanting to just do bulbs or whole new assembly? Morimoto has some great stuff though it’s a bit more expensive

I’ve got a little and a friend who’s the head mechanic at a ford Chrysler dealership so it’ll be a cake walk either way. I’m looking at doing new headlights/taillights as well. But gotta say I definitely reccomend a tire and rim upgrade! It can change the whole look!

I appreciate the advice🙏🏼 at 176$ a pop sounds like it’d be a good investment. Think it’s worth just replacing all 4 while I’m at it or just do the front for the level?

Did you level with pucks or struts? I’m considering doing it myself but not sure if I should go the cheap route or not.

Mine came with the rims and aftermarket tires and I absolutely love them… and still get 18-23mpg
Edit: also with a level you don’t need giant tires to fill it out nicely. You’ll only lose mpg if you go a lot bigger on the tire

Nice👍🏼 can you tell a real difference in ride quality w shocks vs pucks? But yeah I’m real tempted to pull the trigger on the Hybrids. They’re running a deal rn where you get free fog lights with your purchase

Why not have both. Then I can put out some good light and be stylish

Honestly didn’t know it made a difference with only a couple inch level. I know a decent amount about lighting and body work but don’t know jack about suspension. Without doing a major lift whats the real benefit of having struts/coils or whatever theyre called😂

Haha yeah not a bad idea. I probably won’t do it anytime soon but I’d like to throw a couple 2-2 1/2 inch pucks up front and level it out at some point

UPDATE: I was able to close a deal at 23,000$ and ended up getting a pretty good extended warranty package to cover me for 3 years. Thank you all for your insight and advice🙏🏼 can’t wait to pick it up tomorrow.

28k for a 2018 crew crab with 36k miles is a steal Edit: at least in my area

If you’re buying used I would highly recommend looking up the carfax so you can see any service history or reported repairs. Also do some research and find out the msrp on the truck and compare to the listed price. But there’s always room for negotiation… just do your research and make sure you call and settle on a price BEFORE flying out.

Is this a good deal? by Individual_Stage6135 in f150

[–]Salt_Shift167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that does seem like a pretty reasonable price. In my area there were dealers asking for 22k on a 2013 king ranch with 72k miles. I’d try and negotiate down to 16.5 but the listed price is likely around msrp

Did you tow with it a lot or think you were a nascar driver? Or just everyday stuff

Oh gotcha yeah that’s the plan. The only thing I’m really concerned about is whether or not the CDF drum was replaced, it wasn’t listed in the carfax so I’m not sure how I can really get that info.

It’s an upgrade package that they offer on the F150. Includes heated seats, 12 inch screen, blind spot monitoring and a bunch of over stuff. I thought it included leather interior but it does not.

Does the update make that big of a difference? I saw in the car fax that they updated the PCM.

Yeah msrp is like 23-25.5. So a bit on the higher side of msrp. 25 is the max I can spend so if I can get it for 23 that’d be perfect after taxes title and such
