I also have this problem on my 2011. I talked to a mechanic I know about it and he says that there is nothing ford or anyone will do. He also said its caused by the amount of metal in the new pads to get optimum stopping power. My only squeal when it's below 0. And only after I passed 8k. Annoying but it goes away like most are saying.
And yes, there is no dealer out there that can take care of this for you at all. It's tough, but that is just a fact. And remember something, the dealer only has as much info on this as the manufacturer wants them to know. So if Ford has not told them anything, then they don't know. And we know how that can be for many of us, frustrating as heck.

I've got a 2010 Lariat screw with 10,3xx miles. I called yesterday to make an appointment for my second oil change. While they've got it, I want them to fix the dry slip yoke and the squealing brakes. The tech that I talked to knew that both problems were common and acted like it was no big deal, BUT that the squealing brakes (after the truck sits; until the brakes get warmed up) was normal and there's nothing they can do about them! He said he'd have them look at them, but it was "normal"!
Am I being unreasonable to want squealing brakes fixed on a "new" truck?

Change out the pads in the front first.
