there's a whole 2015 section dedicated to exactly what you're looking for
In short, some are trouble-free, some have real issues, and some just like to b&&ch about the small things. luck of the draw it seems!
any new truck will be 99.9% reliable, but may or may not be 100% trouble-free.

Had mine in for the cooled seat TSB and Transmission TSB. The seats freeze me out and the transmission is smooth as glass. No further issues.

Quick question, not to hijack the thread.....

1. Can a new owner insist on having all the TSB's done prior to finalizing the purchase????

2. I have read a ton on the leaking moon roof issues.... Here in central Texas the dealers lots are full of 15's. Would a truck that has sat on the lot for a while exhibit water damage due to rain?? Would it be easy to tell if there was a problem with the moon roof prior to purchase. Smell? Mildew? It's raining here now and I'll be looking this weekend.

3. Is there a green and caribou colored King Ranch??

Thank you guys

No, you dont own it until you buy it. If that were the case, Ford would require all dealers to auto do TSB's, which they wont do!

Trucks on a lot should,look carefully inside all around. If it is leaking you will find it.

A TSB is for a concern that may or may not affect a truck. Every truck doesn't get the TSB done. Only the ones where there is a complaint that matches the TSB get the repair

A recall is where every truck has the repair done.

That said, a dealer may agree to complete specific TSBs before sale. They aren't supposed to if the truck doesn't have the issue, but some will do whatever it takes to get a sale.

does it make a difference if the TSB is done before or after you sign the papers? If it needs to be done, it will be done. If not, it won't. Whether or not it fixes whatever issue it's supposed to fix, that wont change.

I have not seen anybody else post this however I am getting a whistling wind noise in the cabin coming from the front windshield. I have not had it checked out yet (just scheduled my first maintenance visit)....and no, it is not noise from the turbos.
I know you posted this a while ago but I recently bought a 2015 Platinum and hear the similar whistling noise you describe. Do you ever get a diagnosis/repair? Thanks.

The easiest thing to rule out is the wiper blades. Pop them off and go for a drive. If no luck, try painter's tape around the windshield gaskets to make sure wind isn't getting around the windshield. Also try turning off all vents and HVAC.
