The Ford F-150 power steering fluid type is Mercon. The power steering fluid needs to be changed every 75,000 miles or so. Along with replacing fluids, You will come across noises from steering parts. A bad bearing will make a nasty sound. A loose bearing will become painful to the ear. Having great steering is important for changing lanes and moving about on the road. You will eventually come across some problems though. Steering fluid may leak at one point. It might turn to one side. The steering wheel might become stuck. The rack mount can become faulty. The strut bearings might become bad. The steering pump may become loose and that will spell disaster for Your vehicle.

Terry is correct. The power steering system in the F150 takes Mercon V TRANSMISSION fluid, NOT power steering fluid. Regular power steering fluid is too thivk, and will cause reduced performance, and possibly damage seals and other components inside the steering system.
