Did you change the harness because they are power extend/fold? My XLT comes with manual only, thus the 8 pin harness I suppose.

No they are manual fold and extend mirrors, I added the Platinum chrome caps. I just had to convert my 8 pin factory wiring harness to 22 pin as my truck did not come with the spot lights from factory and the tow mirrors have them. This means the 8pin male plug for my factory mirror wiring is a completely different shape than the female plug for the tow mirrors. I got two harnesses from ebay that convert 8pin to 22pin, 100% plug and play. The harnesses actually come with an extra wire you can extend for puddle lamps.

Only 1 issue, mine isn't a KING RANCH. Hey I gits what I pays for! Now about what I paid for. It really runs well, no issue at all. I want to take it out to see what trip miles are. I'm bettin' on 24 at 70 as advertised or close to it. Ill drive through Texas and I think they have 80 mph freeway speeds. Right now I'm getting edge of town 19.6. I have about 1300 miles on an 2018 STX 4x4, 3.55s, 20 inch tires, 2.7 (gutsy little sucker)10 speed, race red, bling package, 36 gallon tank, wheels, other stuff and I like it. I added sirius radio, dash cover and ordered an A.R.E deck in race red.

Some excellent post and very useful information, some are getting a bit of track so lets try to stay closer to the subject matter please.

I have a 2018 XLT 3.5 twin turbo SuperCab with Max tow and 20 inch wheels. Only issue so far is my tailgate has started to make a very loud metal on metal sound when I close it. Kinda like a ballpeen hammer hitting a piece of metal! I have the tailgate step, so maybe a bumper fell off inside, or something. I have a warranty repair appt. next week.

The only other problem was Auto Start/Stop, but I fixed that with FORScan!!

Been cruising on the interstate for the last 2 days thru TN, KY, IL & now MO. Have been lots of rolling country side/hills, some steeper than others but nothing near the Rockies or riding in the Smokey mountains. Only issue is every once in a while when traffic backs up/slows down for construction zones or rush hour traffic, the 10 speed doesn't downshift like I think it should and the motor seems to bog down a bit. I have to punch the skinny pedal a bit more than I think is needed for the conditions and then the 10 speed will drop down to 8th (I think dropping to 9th would do) but it won't until I push a bit more on the gas.

I have a 2018 502a Lariat screw 3.5 with max tow, pano, tailgate step and 20" wheels. I've had it for a little over a month and so far I love the truck, however I have ~750 miles on it and have had a brake issue about 3 times now.
When I brake, the pedal goes pretty much all the way down and it feels like the ABS kicks in. I come off the brake and press again, it will either do it again, or brake normally. This has only happened during the first use of the brakes for that drive (after the first time I brake, the brakes work fine the rest of the trip). Like I said, it has happened 3 or so times, so it isn't every time I drive, but brakes are nothing to play with (and its a brand new truck so everything should work) so I'm gonna be bringing it in to get it checked out. Anyone else experience this?

Don't fight it.. It happens in every thread, but they always come back around.

My 2018 the brakes are similar, setting at a light mashing on the pedal the brake pedal will go all the way to the floor and hit the stop quickly, very unnerving, I've seen other vehicles where you could feather and play with the pedal and get them to slowly bleed down but steady pressure on the F150 and down it goes, it is on the list when I take it in for my first service.

I bought a Saturn when the first came out. It had a very loud ABS self test. It would self test the first time hitting 5mph. If you hit the brake at the exact time the self test started, close to the same thing you are experiencing would happen. You could hear the ABS testing as the pedal dropped.
