Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2010 Ford F-150 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2010 Ford F-150. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford F-150 battery.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your F-150 stranded. Your Ford F-150 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2010 Ford F-150 engine.
