Ford Forum - Enthusiast Forums for Ford Owners - Owner Suggestions 2008 F150 Crew cab

Owner of a 2008 F150, Crew cab, 4x2, 4.6L engine, 5 ½’ bed w/Tonneau cover, avg 14mpg. Nice looking truck (but useless), I am happy with it.

Ford features allowing, deactivating automatic door locks.
Now I need to know how to deactivate automatic door locks on a Kia.
I locked both sets of keys in the Kia last week.

Transmission gearing feels perfect for town driving. Highway acceleration is not anything to brag about. Pulls heavy load fine here in flat-land Texas.

Looking for user recommended or experiences with replacement parts.

Headlight Bulbs;
Factory are useless, my concern is the effect a brighter bulb may have on plastic lens covers.

Tires;
Size P265 60R18 109T M&S Goodrich, user recommended and also meets the importance of traction, load, mileage.
Any opnion on Michelin LTX M/S2.

Seat Covers; for someone that doesn’t do much, I end up getting dirty.

Front Suspension suggestion; to soft and bouncy; with a 5 ½’ bed and cover, there is no place to put a load and a trailer will make things worse.
