Talking Bob Intro

Hello to all. My name is Bob and I just picked up a 2025 F150 Lariat 4WD with the V8.
I'm a retired mech engineer and I've always done my own maintenance on the vehicles. I got the impression from my salesman that Ford does not necessarily encourage DIYers. Anyway will be looking for tips and tricks on doing your own maintenance.

Welcome Bob. I just did my first oil change myself on my F-150 (5.0 Coyote). It wasn't too bad. I don't know how I am going to do a tire rotation myself - those wheels and tires are huge.

Welcome. I do all the maintenance on my 05 F150. Once the warranty is up on my wife's 21 Bronco Sport I will be servicing that one too.
