Not if you have to remove a tire, that's not a simple oil change LOL, I don't need to remove tires and panels to do any oil filter removal on my vehicles LOL....my 08 Toyota Tundra had some pretty stupid engineering fails too...skidplate removal required for oil filter access and to drain the oil, no access plate...but the Tacoma had access plates for that WTF LOL.You just pop a panel loose, no big deal.
Looks like at least Ford kept a standard spin on oil filter and not those nonsense cartridge ones that many other vehicles have gone to. But it looks like the oil filter is on the far back of the engine, so why can't you just crawl under the truck and access the filter from underneath?
