I personally have not experienced a broken bolt, but I thought we would have heard from Ford on what the recall remedy might be.

This right here is why I chose an XL with a 5.0 with a few added options. Depending on where you live, I happen to live in NJ, and one thing I would pay close attention to if you want the vehicle to last your 20 to 25 years is the frame. I recently wound up junking a low mileage 2002 E150...

OP, if the vehicle didn't have the options you really wanted, you should have considered leasing it.

An RV certainly changes things. If I want to go fast, I take out the 780 whp GT500.

If you plan to keep the vehicle for ten plus years, and can do your own wrenching, I'd go with the 5.0. If you lease or trade it in every 3 or 4 years, Power boost with the 7.2KW A/C power would be my choice.

Same setup as OP. 2023 with 9k miles, getting 20.6 since day one with 50/50 driving.

People that tailgate have a tendency to go through more windshields.

Renewed my nav for an average of 6.xx per month. I have an unpredictable work commute and prefer not to use phone apps. It doesn't seem like much when you have a 900+ monthly payment.

Not to mention the Tundras look like dog shit.

If he was that into sailing, he should have purchased his own truck by now.

With my 2023 Supercrew, 6.5' bed, 373 rear, and 5.0 I'm averaging a combined 20.3 mpg from day one. Current mileage is about 6k with one oil change so far. Very pleased to say the least. My wife's puny Forester is only getting 26 mpg. She is a little heavy on the right foot, but still.

Keeping my 2023 5.0 V8 for at least 10 years.

Crickets on the planned Tesla/CATL plant planned in Texas.

You're not going to get 7.2KW power out of just an ICE vehicle.

LOL! Wait until they see autonomous EV 18 wheelers barreling down the highways.
