Interested to see what pops up in this thread. I will be in the market in the near future as well
I'd be another +1 for an F150 but in the last 20k miles the following has been replaced, my '16 F150 is a 3.5 eco 4x4 bought new and is at 51k miles
Transfer case
Steering wheel- First one started to disenigrate
Rear defrost stopped working
The rear sliding window, then the entire rear window due to a botch job on the window install
A/c module reprogrammed, it stopped blowing cold
Ford wouldn't warranty the chrome wheels that pitted a year after owning the truck.
I've probably been in for 5 or 6 recalls from doors not staying shut or locking, to seat belts modules that could catch fire.
Now My trans is shifting hard from 1st to 2nd and when coming to a stop the converter doesn't unlock until you have been at a complete stop and when it does release it lunges the turck forward a few inches....
For a $50k truck I expected much better ownership experiance.
I've been very happy with the power and fuel mileage. I've found my dash meter is off my about 1 mpg. I hand calculate between 18.4 and 18.9. 70% city, 30% highway.
Chris we have had shit luck, or we are really rough on cars
