What are some must have tools for this generation F150? Any recommendations as far as maintenance tools? I work for a Freightliner dealer so I do have access to tool trucks.

 

lol it used to be the 60 point or whatever crazy oil filter wrench was required but then they changed the filter after a couple thousand of us bought that stupid wrench.

 

basic standard and metric sockets/wrenches, torque wrench, interior trim tools. These are pretty easy to work on IMO.

 

^^ what he said

get a decent deal on one of those tool kits from the hardware store that has 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 sockets, some allen keys etc. If you're doing suspension stuff you'll need some larger impact sockets.

I really really really like my cordless ratchets and impacts

 

To be truthful a $30 socket set, $10 screwdriver set, a cheap interior trim remover set, and some cheap wire crimpers that I can’t remember how much I paid for all from Harbor Freight has taken me far on the work I’ve done on my truck.
Work includes K150 radio swap, jump seat to full flow through console swap, column shift to console shift swap, 26 to 36 gal fuel tank swap, Rough Country E Boards install, headlight swap, and a few other small projects here and there. Installed a set of swing out saddle tool boxes to keep the tools and tie down straps in as they set good under the bed cover and are easy to get into.

 

Tork screw driver bits and tork sockets.

 

I find a cordless power ratchet to be invaluable. This is the one I have but I got a heck of a deal on it at the time...

Just picked up a laptop off marketplace to get access to forscan. Have had only apple products for the past 15 years.
