‘Making It Personal:' Man Buys ‘Lemon' Ford F-150 From Used Car Dealership. Then He Decides to Get a Custom Wrap and Warn Buyers
A man is blasting the car dealership where he bought his used Ford F-150 with a custom lemon wrap to warn other buyers. Of course, he is getting roasted online for not quite understanding lemon laws. TikTok user LemonF-150 (@lemonf150) is dedicated to getting revenge on the Ford brand itself and the specific used car dealership where he bought his F-150: Landers Ford dealership in Collierville, Tennessee. In a video posted on Saturday, the account revealed the custom lemon wrap. 'I had this truck delivered here on a flatbed,' the man behind the TikTok account says. 'They had it for about seven weeks, told me nothing was wrong. Eventually told me I got GAP insurance, just take care of it.' On one of the truck's rear windows is a list of the problems the man says he's experienced since purchasing this used F-150: Camshaft position sensor light (May 4) Smoke from hood, smells like wires, took to Landers (July) Picked up from Landers; they said nothing was wrong (July 30) Truck wouldn't start (Aug. 1) Replaced alternator (Sep. 3) Truck wouldn't start, took back to dealership (Sep. 4) Replaced starter (Nov. 15). What Is a Lemon Law? In general, lemon laws protect consumers who purchased or leased a new car and one of its major components malfunctions or otherwise fails in the first 50,000 or so miles. While there are a few notable exceptions, most lemon laws don't apply to used vehicles. When they do, the coverage is usually stipulated in a warranty that the new owner gets upon purchase. In Tennessee, the "lemon" law is applicable to new and used vehicles that are still under a manufacturer's warranty. If, as someone in the comments section speculated, this is a 2019 or older F-150, it's unlikely it qualifies as a "lemon" in that state. Ford's new vehicles generally come with a three-year/36,000-mile factory warranty . Viewers Were Unenthused In the comments section of the video, viewers offered incredibly unkind (and sometimes incorrect or incomplete) advice to the gentleman behind the camera. 'Lemon law isn't for used vehicles,' wrote one user. ''All Gen Z does is whine and complain!' Boomers and Gen Xers:' a second wrote, criticizing the F-150 driver for how he aired his grievances. 'Sometimes that's just how it is,' said a third. 'This ain't lemon.' Someone else said, 'Uhhh, those are oranges.' The man had at least one fan in the house. 'Making it personal…. Approved,' wrote one person. Motor1 contacted the LemonF-150 page via TikTok comment and direct message, and Landers Ford via online contact form for comment.

The 2025 Ford F-150 Lobo Marks the Return of the Factory Street Truck
The 2025 Ford F-150 Lobo Marks the Return of the Factory Street Truck originally appeared on Autoblog. As the top-selling pickup truck, let alone automobile, in the United States, the humble Ford F-150 has been used in various ways by people from all walks of life. Whether hauling mulch, manure, lumber, or a boat or used as a job site work truck, family vehicle, hardcore off-roader, drag racer, or drift truck, someone, somewhere has used an F-150 in a way that has not been pictured in the dealership brochure. It is quite rare for one of the world's largest automakers to acknowledge and create something directly inspired by the enthusiasts who customize their trucks. Ford has already done this with the Ford F-150 Raptor and the subsequent line of lifted off-road style vehicles. However, Ford's latest offering—the 2025 Ford F-150 Lobo—is a nod to another community of enthusiasts, as it's a factory-built street truck that wasn't designed in a boardroom or through a PowerPoint, but crafted by true fanatics who live, breathe, and die by them. View the 4 images of this gallery on the original article Building off the roots sown by the F-150's little unibody brother, the Maverick Lobo, the F-150 Lobo is living proof that while respective manufacturers like Toyota, Ram and Chevrolet discontinued nameplates like the X-Runner, SRT-10 and Silverado SS, street trucks never really died—the true fans kept it on the down low. Enthusiasts have kept the passion for these cool pickup trucks alive through their extensive builds, which often include lowered suspensions, large wheels, loud exhausts, and blacked-out trim. Ford understands the significance of this scene because key people involved in the Lobo's development are part of that community. One of the main designers, Josh Blundo, even drives a street truck himself. They are not just corporate heads backed by bean-counters; they know the target audience because they are the target audience. View the 4 images of this gallery on the original article 'Continuing what Maverick Lobo started last year, the F-150 Lobo is designed to serve a new segment of potential F-150 customers. [...] From an automaker, this has been an untapped market for two decades,' Blundo said in a statement. 'So, on the bones of the Built Ford Tough F-150 truck, we created a street truck that rolls off the line ready to roar, with proven durability and a Ford factory limited warranty for more confidence and peace of mind than aftermarket solutions.' The Lobo is built on the F-150 STX trim and is exclusively offered as a SuperCrew cab (meaning four whole doors), but it ditches its utilitarian guts for style, substance, and a lot more horsepower under the hood. The standard 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 in the STX is yanked out, and in its place is the optional 5-liter V8, a motor that Blundo claims is 'already a superstar in the street truck community.' It produces 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, which are transmitted to a two-speed 4WD automatic system and a 3.73 electronic locking rear axle —a setup that provides traction and year-round usability. However, where the F-150 Lobo stands out is in its looks, and from the pictures, it is built to look nothing but menacing. The list of upgrades includes a revised suspension, which drops the rear by two inches for a lower, sleeker stance, a 10-piece body kit for additional ground effects, a unique-styled upper grille, a gloss-black mesh grille, an aggressive cowl hood, a menacing dual exhaust system, and updated LED lighting inspired by its little brother, the Maverick Lobo. The new Lobo also gets a set of street-styled blacked-out exterior trim, including blacked-out hood vents, exhaust, and badges, as well as Lobo-exclusive 22-inch gloss-black wheels. These pieces stand out in the five colors available for the Lobo: Agate Black Metallic, Atlas Blue Metallic, Carbonized Gray, Oxford White, and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, which Ford says will help buyers 'give their truck the personality they desire.' According to lead designer Blundo, the Lobo in all-black 'looks straight menacing,' and we cannot agree more. Not many details have been given about the interior of the F-150 Lobo. Still, given that it is built atop the STX trim, it comes well-equipped with amenities including seats finished in what Ford calls Unique Sport Cloth, a 12-inch screen featuring Ford's SYNC 4 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a safety suite with features like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, a Reverse Sensing System, Forward Collision Warning, and a Lane-Keeping System. Blundo and Ford said that the Ford F-150 Lobo is built to be a powerful and stylish street truck for enthusiasts, noting that the modifications it made deliver 'a complete foundation straight off the line,' while recognizing that 'some [owners] will take this great foundation for future personalization' at the same time. As someone who witnessed a few different eras and trends of modified car culture throughout my youth, adolescence, and adulthood, one thing is certain: no matter the scene, it is full of people willing to spend real money on personalization, performance, and style. With the Maverick Lobo and now the F-150 Lobo, Ford isn't just throwing a bone; it's giving loyal enthusiasts a platform to feel inspired. Nonetheless, a truck like the Lobo is a breath of fresh air in a landscape increasingly dominated by electrification, crossovers, and synthetic engine noise; it's a mean, V8-powered machine for the streets. According to Ford, the 2025 F-150 Lobo's MSRP starts at $57,800 plus $2,195 destination and delivery. They also note that the Lobo's package price on the STX is $4,695.

Ford Wants You to Believe the New F-150 Lobo Is a Street Truck
The latest car news, reviews, and features. I had high hopes for the Ford F-150 Lobo, but it's not enough. My expectations were set by the Maverick Lobo, which not only rocks a distinctive bodykit and lowered suspension but also improved cooling and a trick rear differential that makes it pretty agile on an autocross course. But the full-size F-150 variant feels like little more than an appearance package, and even then, it's not immediately clear that it's supposed to be a street truck with all that wheel gap. At least it has a V8. The F-150 Lobo isn't a trim but rather an add-on available for the STX trim. It does feature lowered suspension, but only in the back, where there's a two-inch drop. That tweak eliminates the regular F-150's rake, and that's likely what reduces the max payload to 1,450 pounds, with tow capacity dropping as well to 7,900 pounds. That may not seem like much of a loss until you realize that the most capable 4×4 F-150 with the 5.0-liter can tow 12,900 pounds. Ford Ford's Coyote engine makes the same power in this application as it does in other F-150s: 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. That's not weak at all, and if you want more power, the aftermarket parts catalog is endless; I can see customers adding a Roush supercharger to these, for sure. Every Lobo comes with a dual exhaust, a 3.73 rear axle with an electronic locking diff, plus an upgraded two-speed automatic 4WD system. The biggest visual differences are the cowl hood and wide-mouth lower grille. Its upper grille design is unique, too, along with the LED signature and taillights. Ford notes the truck's 'ground appearance package' and 22-inch wheels in its press release, but the all-black Lobo featured in these photos seems to hide these details or, at the very least, obscure them. I'm curious to see what it looks like in the other available colors: Atlas Blue Metallic, Carbonized Gray, Oxford White, and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. Here's a rendering that shows more of the bodywork's detailing. It isn't ugly by any means; I just don't feel like it's enough to be considered a full-on street truck. Ford Design sketches like this are always more extreme than the actual production models, but these pencil drawings show a caricature I can get behind. Ford Tuners like Roush have already built legit street trucks on the current-gen F-150 platform. Heck, so have Ford dealers. I wouldn't expect the Blue Oval to go all out and give the Lobo 700 hp or anything, but when you already know what could be, it's tough to put this pickup in the same category. The Lobo package adds $4,695 to the F-150 STX, with total pricing clocking in at $59,995 after destination and delivery charges. It'll be available this fall. Got a tip or question for the author?
