Picked up yesterday. Just noticed I have quite a rust issue on my transfer case. Completely unacceptable in my book. Taking it back in soon to get it looked at.

I’ll have to look at mine also. I have been seeing this an issue with a lot of other trucks.

Are any of your guys with Powerboost engines having issues with coolant leak at center of vehicle? There is a heat exchanger on top of the exhaust where coolant flows that is leaking on my Powerboost XLT with 500 miles and 12/20 week build date.. Others on forum have had same issue. I just dropped off mine at dealer who says he has 2 other guys with same issue locally. All are brand new with low miles. Seems like they got a bad batch of those exchangers. The problem is part to fix it is on backorder with no ETA!

Hopefully my truck is here today and for pickup tomorrow. My current one decided to go into limp mode this morning but is now back to normal.

I assume you are referring to this? 250 miles on mine. Looks like it's a trip back to the dealer.

Yup, that's looks like mine. My dealer has part on emergency order for me. Not sure when it will come in though. For now I'm driving it and managing leak with drip pan in garage and topping off coolant level. Luckily mine is not leaking horribly yet. Some are leaking real bad and can't be driven according to dealer.

Lovely. Mine's not leaking badly as yet. I reviewed that other thread and it's definitely happening when the engine gets hotter. I moved the truck 20 feet onto the driveway and no leak all day. Back in the garage now and I bet it'll be dry all night too. Probably why I didn't notice it sooner. Any tips on brand of coolant? Already ordered the drip pan and off to the auto parts store for coolant in the morning. I opened the hood and both reservoirs looked low to me.

Looks like some of us are going to attempt to stay ahead of the inevitable recall. ?

it's leaking from engine loop so large reservoir will need filling. My dealer gave me this to fill it.

Thanks! That’s an even better idea. Have my dealer “deal with it”!

As of 1hr ago no delivery. Considering ford had assured me today is delivery day I’ll be checking right thing tomorrow that it will be ready for pick up tomorrow. If she ain’t then ford Canada can take some money off per their guarantee of a feb 21 delivery on my 2021.

Can’t argue with that deal.

I took 3.9 until we could get everything set up with our credit union. Just refinanced it Thursday for 2.04.

I’ve become so accustomed to 0% that I feel like I’m being taken advantage of by paying any interest at all ?

That 0/72 PO's me. The sales Manager at Sheehy Ashland said it was impossible to get that. This is my last truck, assuming nothing bad happens, but if it weren't I go to any other dealer in the Central VAm area to get it.

Same issues here.

This doesn't seem to be a rare occurrence. Ford Motor has an official account here and monitors the site. They need to jump in this thread and the powerboost heat exchanger coolant leak issue.
