I cannot believe I was so easily duped into the "promise" of a capable pickup truck only to wind up with some new bullshit crapping out or falling apart at least once every single month.

To add to the nearly fucking 2 dozen issues I've had with this crap vehicle since I conned myself into buy it, literally a week after the last fucking thing that needed to be fixed or replace or thrown out (which happened about 2 weeks after the last fucking thing crapped out on this POS before it), I get a new CEL on my second drive of the day about something related to the fucking fuel tank or fuel line. No issues with driving 320km the previous day, no issue with driving 10km the first time in the morning today, but driving home? Absolutely not; its been way too quiet and "reliable" for the last week.

Fuck this piece of shit vehicle. Ford, I swear I tried to work with you on this garbage for the last 2 years. I tried to take it all in stride because of all that "its new technology" crap. I have yet to have driven the vehicle for a FULL MONTH successfully without something crapping out. Once my vehicle loan is paid off I will never again buy a Ford again nor will anyone in my immediate family and generations down the line. Any time the topic of vehicles comes up I will forever start my sentence with "Anything but Ford". Absolutely anything is better than this. I had a god damn Lada growing up that never had so many issues like this. Shit, my father had a Yugo in the old country that didn't fall apart every time you looked at it like this piece of garbage does. I'm quite done being a Ford apologist; every single bad review about any Ford product is 100% correct and every single positive review about any Ford product is 100% wrong.

Guys, respectfully, I'm personally not looking for any suggestions on error #355487 on this shit truck and I'm not interested in responding to any follow up comments. Everyone on here has been wonderful whenever I've posted questions and I'm sure I'll be posting again as long as I still have this shit wagon, so certainly not trying to be rude, but speaking more about this is just a waste of time and energy for me.

OooooooK...

I've had, now, 3 F150s over a span of 27 years. A 92 F150 XL- 4.9 6cylinder, 5 speed. An 05 XLT- 5.4 Triton and now my 5.0 RCSB. Those two trucks left on the side of the road a total of twice with probably 180,000 miles put on them combined. The 92 lost an alternator in a blizzard in 2000 and the 05 had the fuel pump go out last fall. Other than that, nothing.

Any GM or Chrysler I, or my family, has ever owned has had a litany of issues. Between 3 GMs over 20 years (always my wife's vehicles) they've left us calling a tow truck at least a dozen times.

I never thought twice about buying a different brand of truck, nor will I ever.

To each their own.

Sometimes it's the luck of the draw. I got an F150 which needed the kinks working out. My wife got a Bronco which has been flawless. It's not unique to any brand, especially after the pandemic - just ask Toyota how their new Tundra and Tacomas have been working out.

Best of luck and hopefully one of the other truck manufacturers have what you need. I didn't come away too impressed by the Ram 1500 when I checked one out, but the GMC Sierra keeps calling my name...

There comes a time when a man just needs to vent. In this case, a rant.

No laws broken.
No animals kicked.
And I don't think any sledgehammer yet taken to the object of scorn?

Hope your fortune turns in a better direction. Sounds like you are due.

A shrink I knew would beat a pillow with a plastic wiffle ball bat. Some people just like to yell. I find plinking to be quite therapeutic.

You could get a GM and keep your local tow trucks in businesses w/ their failing fuel pump

I get it. I'm sorry. Others chiming in with, "mines perfect" doesn't help.
You got a bad hand dealt and it sucks.
I had a 79 Honda, (supposedly a great car at the time) worst car I have ever owned and it scarred me deep. Have never and will never own another one again, it happens.
Just sorry man. We are here for your grief as well as the next guys "new shoes" or "upgrade story"...

Sucks...
:(

Sucks you’re not having a good experience. Many of us here understand. I sold, well traded, a Toyota I had for just about a year because of computer issues they couldn’t fix. They couldn’t diagnose because no codes.

anyrate……we understand. It sucks, most all brands are having issues.
