Default What Are You Worried About?

Rainy season is coming for us here on the west coast, and for a lot of other states too, so I thought I would post this question because it might give some insight of what to look out for, expect, nail bite over, etc.......

Myself, since I bought my 2011 3.5L Ecoboost used with about 29k miles on her, I am just a little bit worried about the dreaded limp mode. I plan on towing my travel trailer up north to Oregon in October/November. I have no idea if it ever had that problem with the previous owner or, if it did, would the dealer even have told me about it before I bought it from them.

I am also a bit concerned with how it's going to handle the rain. Leaks, squeaks, electrical problems, lights filling up with water, etc.

So......what has been your experiences in the rain in a F150 and what are you worried about? If anything.

I'm worried that this thread will be viewed by many people who just want to complain. Stop worrying and live in the now. If you are worried that your truck will fall into limp mode then why did you buy it? Enjoy it for what it is and deal with issues as they come and go. I've had my truck for over 18 months now and haven't had a single issue.

To keep with your thread theme. I'm worried that the 2015s will be intriguing enough that I will most likely want one

It is a truck...it was made to haul things and/or be driven in inclement weather. If you thought this vehicle was prone to an abundance of defects then you shouldn't have purchased it.

I'm worried that I will have a hard time renting my vacant apartment and one of my houses since college is already in. I'm worried that I will run short on hay and prices will be higher when I realize I bought a few bales less than I should have. I worry my taxes will go up again.

What I am not worried about is my truck. The above things have a better that 1 percent chance of happening. My truck having a major issue (and this goes for the EcoBoost as well) is less than 1 percent.

Wow, what a bunch of BS responses. I think it's a good question. You probably need to get out more often if you think thats all I do is worry about the "problem" you don't want to even include the possibility of in a thread about RAIN. You've been soured in here too long and, I think you just like putting down someone's thread for your own ego reasons. So Jaded. You don't like my thread? Read and answer another one. Don't be a bunch of jaded bozo's.

My next response. After all the jaded Bozo's reply to my last one. I lasted about 6 weeks here biting my tongue and trying to be helpful and trying to enjoy the mod ideas. I'll save more money for my truck payment not being here anymore. Now make a smart comment about that. It's what you do ain't it?

90% nice guys and girls, 10% bozos. That's about right. Enjoy the popcorn. I'll be in my truck.
