For years Ford vehicles, especially pickup trucks, have blinded drivers with their improperly adjusted headlights; because Ford gives incorrect instructions to adjust them. I refer to page 474 of the 2025 superduty owners manual as evidence. The instructions Ford gives are to set the low-beam level, shinning the beam onto a vertical surface 25 feet from the vehicle with the beam at the same height as the headlight on the truck. This is incorrect. There should be at least a 3 inch drop of the low-beam at 25 feet. If there is no drop of the tall truck's headlight (the F-250 stock ride height of the headlight is 44 inches above the ground) it will always blind other drivers of cars/sedans--especially via the outside mirrors. This problem has become acute now that the extra bright led headlights are becoming the norm; making two-lane roads on a rainy night a truly blinding experience. Please require Ford to correct their dangerous mistake.
