OK, I was wrong, the 116, 123, and 126 do not have a McPherson strut. I've been calling them that for years now. Either way, they do not have double wish bone front suspensions, which I think is the proper way to control the front wheels. On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 5:15 PM, Curly McLain

I have that issue with the gray F150 in the lot at Lowes - I put a 2X stake in each rear corner pocket on the bed. They both make it easier to climb into the bed, and I'm the only one in the lot with them. A friend hung a stuffed toy from the rear view mirror in his expedition so he could tell
