I have been watching vids on changing tires on F150s and you are the only one to show the lift point on the front tire. When I bought my truck, last week, there was mention of an arrow on the frame, but no explanation that it was a hole in the frame. Thank You!

This video is still helping people, like me for example. I'm a first time F150 owner preparing to drive cross country and wanting to confirm air pressure in my spare. Key learnings from the video and first experience. 1. It actually is tricky since you can't really see what you are doing. 2. There is a guiding funnel of sorts underneath the bed that starts ~9" in from the bumper. The actual engagement between the big end of the rod within the funnel and the turning bolt occurs a little more than one rod length in, thus the need to use TWO rod lengths minimum. 3. The video is correct that you have to point the rod slightly left. I learned I also needed to aim the rod slightly upward. After these things, easy peasy. Thanks again Weekend Woodsmen.

Great job on this. Funny thing is, I came looking for any tricks to get the jack back into its mount behind the seat, as I was having difficulty. FYI - if you have the jack completely bottomed out (which is what I assume most people would do before putting it away) the jack will not seat in the bracket correctly. Raise the jack a little (maybe 1/2 inch) before stowing it, and that allows it to fit/stow correctly into the mounting bracket. Cheers!

The funnel is for pouring gas into the capless fuel filler if you need to use a gas can.

EXCELLENT video! Straight and to the point with no BS. You have a very good presentation style. I learned something here today.

This is a great video. I appreciate it. Another tip I heard someone say is ditch the scissor jack and get a 3 ton bottle jack from Harbor Freight.

Very helpful point about putting the rod at an angle when lower ing spare tire otherwise I would have utilized my entire four letter word vocabulary for sure. Thanks for your public service message & cool shirt.

You have no idea how much this helped bro, thanks for the great video

Best video on this topic. Thanks for a thorough description. Very helpful.

Thank you, broke down middle of nowhere texas. Found rear lift point. God Bless you

You Helped me more than you know today…Thank you sir! ….Atlanta Ga.

Thanks so much for this. I was sticking the wrong end into to hole and it wouldn’t lock in. Lift point info was great. I also had to guess which key to use to open the hole. Mine was inside my key fob. Knowing that may help others.

Just got the lightning n this I’ve learned from you. Thanks

Thank you. I'm late to the party cuz just bought a 2019 XLT in October of 22, Used, one owner, (but, I'm in Chicago, the og owner took delivery (and traded it in) in Quebec). So the owner's manual is in French, only, in French, and the truck goes metric first. So there's that. Thank you again. PS Have a USA all English Ford OEM manual sealed on the way, be here in two weeks.

I was mad, then you happened. Thx!

Saved me some hassle on an F-150 rental I got and had to change on the road. Thanks for the video!

Such a helpful video, thanks a lot!

Saving this video for future use. Wouldbt have known about angle to put bar in nor about the place to put the bar to lower spare. Had my truck 2 yrs and barely decided to find where it was at lol.

This helped me tonight with a flat on the side of the road . Thank you!

thanks for the info! great video! oh BTW, the small white funnel is for gas! in case you run out and need to fill from a can, you push it into the fuel filler neck, then pour from the can.

Excellent video on how to use the jack and spare tire tool. My trouble is getting to the back of the seat, where all those items are located. We never did get to the spare, and ended up just getting the flat one fixed. I'm still looking for a video to show how to lower that back seat. THanks for the good info that you have provided.

Great PSA. Lol, very thorough. Exactly what I needed.

This was very helpful for my 2015 model. Thank you!

Very informative, thanks a lot! Had to put my spare on the 2019 today.

Great Vid, thanks for taking the time to do, this saved me the hassle of the rear spare

00:57 the funnel is for when you use a jerry can to fill up the gas tank. You'll need to insert it into the opening before you can transfer the gas from the can to the truck. Thanks for the video.

Very nice video 👍 It is short but covered everything i needed. Thanks

Bro that jack point tip helped me so much. Thanks!

Thanks u helped me find my jack points

PS if your jack becomes lodged in the truck compartment after a prior use, make sure to raise the jack to release it. It will not come out sometimes if not raised after sliding it to the left.

Thank you! Saves me from having to read the manual. LOL.

Thanks weekend woodsmen

You literally saved us !!! Thank you much we were frustrated af

As Kevin Moskal says the funnel is for filling your gas tank with a gas can. DO NOT TRY TO FILL WITH THE NOZZEL ON THE GAS CAN! It will get stuck and is very difficult to get out. Also it would have been nice to see you actually jack the vehicle up. My jack hook failed while jacking as it seemed I over torqued the hook connector to the jack. I wanted to see the effort you used to jack the vehicle. I'll keep looking, thanks for posting

Awesome explanation! Thank you so much

Thank you for making! Very helpful!

Yup. Wasted a good 30 min on the side of the road trying to figure out how to drop that stupid spare tire. I was ready to give up and call a tow when I found your video.

Thanks for showing the lift points

Thanks great video!!! Saved me so much time I guess every vehicle is different these days

Great job on the video. Thanks for making it!

Thanks a lot man you save me

Nice thanks for making

Thanks, bro!!!

Good job!

Thank you. Well done.

Awesome video. Thank you so much.

Grrrreat detailed video !!!!!!

That funnel us for if you run out of fuel cause a normal gas can nozzle won't fit in the inlet

Thanks for the video.

Actually the funnel is an extra replacement guide for the tool to lower the spare. I guess if the original gets brittle and breaks you have a replacement in hand. With the spare removed crawl under and see how the little funnel guides the tool in

The funnel its for the gas if u have to use a fill with a plastic gas can

Great instructions, thanks for making this video!

Do you know after rotating the tires do you have to reset anything to do with the tire pressure monitoring system? Thanks

You just saved me…from myself.

Thank, am on the side of road with flat and couldn’t get the tire down.

On the 2006 you use the little end with the button. I was soooooo frustrated

The fat end will not connect inside the spare tire comp.

So, it sounds like we use the ignition key

That spot is so you can use a gas can to file your truck if you run out of gas.

@2:45 Righty Tighty, Lefty loosy. You're welcome.

2021 here. No hook. Empty.

I have a 2020 ford what's that road side number mmmmmmm shit Ha on my own typical for 56 k truck 20 " and they give you an 18" spare rip off

Fin guys at ford must be huffing the glue in the parking lot at lunch OMG why is there 15 steps to getting to the jack? imagine doing that on the side of the road

Yeah but the problem is HOW DO YOU JACK UP THE TRUCK!!??? The rail is so far under the truck that there’s no longer room for the tool to make a full turn and cause the jack to raise up.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

LOCK WON'T TURN 2009

Lug nuts dont come off on the Fords..they swell due to bad design..tool dosen't fit and you can be stuck on the road or in the bush .

Ha How many people would take the time putting all the pieces back in the bag after Ha just chuck it in the bed grrrr

Thanks man!
