A Bit of Perspective

[Highway 11]

If Ford can step up quality enough to take care of the issues we've been having, we're in for a good few years. Imagine not having to replace your battery to fix electric gremlins or quirks. Currently, my biggest problem with my F150 is my OCD when it comes to the 8" instrument cluster in my XLT 302A. I was on the fence about swapping to the digital cluster then realized I was spending $3K CAD rather than dealing with it. If that's the biggest problem I have then I'm doing pretty well.

My last few work vehicles have been nightmares in comparison. My 2500 at this posting broke its shift linkage so it's parked until it can be towed 4 hours south or a mobile mechanic attends. It replaced a 2500 that needed 15,000 worth of repairs. My Tahoe at my normal posting blew a water pump and its electronics are so sensitive that it routinely fries our aftermarket gear. The COVID era Ford Explorer I had before went through three engine rebuilds on the 3.3L before it gave up and violently destructed under load.

I don't have to worry about the foundation my truck's built on. I'm looking forward to driving it again when I get home.

I drove GM vehicles most all my life until I needed a new mini-can in 2007. A Ford FreeStar was the best vehicle I ever owned. I traded it for this new 2022 F-150 Max Tow. I read the horror stories people write on here. I also am dissatisfied it takes months in order to resolve and FIX recalled items. One writer here said it best, it is the communications or lack thereof that is the worst problem. Different people get differing amounts of service and satisfaction.
