Yes sir. '13 FX4 with the 5L to switch it up a bit.
Nah, I won't be touching the new gens for at least 2-3 years while ford works out the bugs. Last time I bought into a new model 2011 Ford it didn't work out so well lol.

I've made my decision already. I'm pretty much fed up, so it's time for it to head down the road. I'm a believer in second chances but this was my truck's 22nd chance or so..lol. I'll probably miss it, but I won't miss the trouble it has been causing me.

There is NO way i would be buying another Ford unless they were buying the truck back from me, or doing something else substantial to make it right for all the issues with the current truck...

No. That's one of the reasons why it's going away. Dealer said "No issue found" so that's a nightmare I'm not willing to pursue anymore. I've lost all patience.
Thanks for the advice guys. I just can't stay away from the F-150 because I think as a product it's fantastic. Plus, getting a new F-150 is the only way I can afford this. $41k for a brand new loaded truck can't be matched by any other truck right now, as far as features for the money go. I have a feeling I'll have less problems with a 2013 and one with the 5.0 engine.

Sweet, dad is bailing you out! SMDH
Maybe you should stick with a beater and learn to appreciate it before going to buy another $45,000 truck! Lol
I say listen to your dad.
