My son decided to customize our '07 (please see pics). Would welcome feedback, repair vs. replace, etc. There are numerous used bumpers available but I cannot find replacements for the damaged section (fender? quarter panel? What's it called?). Just looking for a quick, cheap fix, as this is...

Need to disable the factory alarm but maintain use of fob to lock/unlock doors. The alarm has a mind of its own and randomly goes off at least once a day, regardless of environmental conditions. If there's a way to disable the alarm/horn, I'm all ears. Thanks...

So last week I'm in reverse with a trailer and reach down to extinguish the back-up warning alarm, but unwittingly hit the center diff lock instead. This is followed by a loud "BANG", and I thought I had hit another car. After confirming that I had not hit anything, I drive away and...

Looking for the quickest/easiest way to covert a standard 4 Pin plug to 5 Pin on a 2007 LTD V8 4WD. I'm hoping it's just a new adapter plug with 5 active pins (versus 4 pins and two empty slots on the stock adapter). If a 5 pin plug is not available, is the best option a 5 Pin kit, where 4...

Nice '09! I picked up a meticulous '07 Limited with the 4.7L and 4WD earlier this week. When searching 06-09's with the V8 and under 50K miles in North Texas, there was one option, and it's in MY driveway! I seriously think no one had even sat in the back seat. Not a scratch, tear, or rattle...

Current vehicle is an '03 SR5 4.7 liter RWD. Looking at a 5th Gen, and was curious what those who have owned both might have experienced. The 5th Gen has more sophisticated features, but the V8 is magic. I tow motorcycles weekly (total weight with trailer around 1K lbs), and off-roading is...

Am I the only 4R owner who's factory trailer hitch is 1/62nd of an inch smaller than a standard Class 3? Man, that drove me nuts the first time I encountered it. It's still a pain in the arse, but really my only complaint that isn't nit-picking.

Definitely keep pushing on those price points. Over the weekend I picked up a certified 2003 SR5 4x4 with V8 and 65K miles for $11,900. The package included a 3 month/3K mile warranty and most every bell & whistle except leather and sunroof. But you gotta keep your eyes glued to the websites...

With the recent destruction of my beloved Sporttrac (we really need to raise the legal driving age, but that's another topic), I was in the market for a new/used vehicle and came across a 2003 SR5 with 65K miles, V8, 4x4, and most of the other goodies except leather and a sunroof. The price...
