The tilt wheel lever is kinda tricky to find if you don't know where to look. Here is pic, the lever handle is circled in red.

And they are a PITA to adjust,now the 09's+ is the way they should have been. Even the 97-03's are smoother then the 04-08's

Yeah I don't have one of those ??? Can I get a replacement one ? I know it is adjustable because you can see the plastic remains for the original one

In the old days we would have just clipped a pair of vice grips on there. Lee

The '04-'08 F150's don't have tilt steering, not in the true sense anyway. They have an adjustable column that is, in my opinion, a "set it and forget it" kind of thing. I had an '87 Tbird that had proper tilt steering. There was a lever on the side of the column that let you tilt the wheel up and out of your way. THAT was a useful feature.
