Here's a tip for the truck itself. Take it to a dealer and get them to take the locking thing off the spare tire lowering gizmo (don't know the proper terminology). The thing is a PITA and if you lose the little doodad that goes on the jack handle to wind the spare tire down, the dealers can't help you with a replacement. The locking things are not made by Ford, but a third party and the dealers don't like to carry the sets of key things because they have to pay the third party company for them and they cost a lot of money. A dealer charged me $69 to remove mine. Getting a replacement (from a major dealer in Dallas) wasn't an option. I drove around for a while not knowing I had lost the key thing and if I had a flat tire it would have been a major drama out on the road to get the spare down.
Our truck is a 2015 model crew cab 2WD gasser 6.2L.
