Default About to get my first F150, very excited

I found a good 2011 F150 3.5 Ecoboost 4x4 and could not pass the chance. I had Ford rangers in the past, but this is my first F150. I normally do most of work/maintenance on my vehicles and I am looking forward to take a closer a look at this baby. I was wondering if Ford's diagnostic software
is available. I have used BMW's diagnostic software (ISTA+ for those in the know) on my beemers and found it a very valuable tool, so I was wondering if something like that exists for the F150.

Welcome and congrats on the new purchase. The tool you're probably looking for is Forscan. It allows you to do a ton of things from basic maintenance items to changing configurations.

Welcome! And like Sherman-GT350 said Forscan is a great tool. There are several stickys in this forum on how to use it.
