I had a 2000 F150 and the transmission went out at 26/K miles. Covered under warrantee but still! They told me I should not tow with the truck. This was at the same time their commercials were touting the F150 had the highest towing capacity in the "class". Four years later it was totaled when I got T-boned by a lady running a red light. Bought my first Tundra and am now on my third one. No Ford for me again.

Prior to my F150 I had a 1996 Ford Ranger. Transmission went out on that about 80/K. I should have seen the writing on the wall and not bought another Ford. But I was towing a boat on the high end of the tow capacity of the Ranger so I assumed that was the problem. I had an aluminum boat and moved up to a BassCat Pantera II so I think that was at least part of the problem.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!
One dealership did $1400 worth of work to my motor and told me there would be a two year warranty.
2 months later oil is coming out of my valve covers. Same Ford dealership said, "We don't know what you've done to your truck in the last 2 months
so we will not warranty.
I took it to another Ford dealership. They said that isn't right and fixed everything. Driving away from that dealership the oil pressure warning starts beeping.
Take it to a third Ford Dealership where is has sat for three day and no one has even looked at it.

Chevrolet here I come! NEVER AGAIN will I buy a FORD!

most of yall are talking about diesel trucks. all of them have issues sooner or later and expensive. If you dont use one for work then know its going to cost you.
I have owned 4-5 and had to have them. When I changed jobs I got rid of it. Fuel injectors burning up and fuel pumps, expensive service. it is what it is. They are complicated machines.

If I remember correctly GarySHO on here is a Ford mechanic. I could be wrong.
