Thinking of taking the plunge
Another "I'll never buy a truck without a V8" guy here. With a 3.5l EB on order. Lol
I test drove all except the NA 3.5. The 3.5eb was the bomb. Plus more torque and towing than the v8 for the same mpg. That was the clincher.
Just wish you could get the 3.73 gear with the 3.5eb. Oh well...

There is very little legitimacy to your thought. Check out this thread. Last years of the generation and a recall.

point Im making is that there is no correlation between model year and TSB's and recalls when it comes to mass production vehicles. I think it has more to do with production dates and locations. I've seen that there are more problems with the kansas city trucks than the dearborn trucks. Maybe the kansas city workers suck more or don't care as much or are not trained as well. Or maybe it has nothing to do with anything and that TSB's and recalls are a by product of mass production.

Why do people say this. This is the most retarded thing I see on the forum.
Do you know how much R&D Ford does before they release it? You think YOURE going to find its faults? Youre crazy. I have a 15, not one problem with it. And you can bet Ford will honor the warranty.

And you can bet Ford will honor the warranty.Have you been paying attention to this forum at all? The Auto Cruise Control issue that has nearly injured people, the seat cooling issue, the 2.7L Eco hard shift are a few things that come to mind that were designed improperly and have since been corrected in later builds of model year 2015.
Sure some of them are manufacturing flaws, but even some manufacturing flaws happen because some aspects of the manufacturing process aren't designed correctly. For example the door alignments issue, the moonroof rattle, the moonroof leak, the front windshield leak are a few that come to mind that could be manufacturing process flaws that they have since corrected in future builds. They could just be a plant or a shift of people messing up, or they could be flaws in the whole process, but we wouldn't know that.
Ever think some of the "big" issues were fixed BEFORE you got your 2015?? I have a 2016 built in May of 2016 and I'd bet any money that I'm better off than MANY people that bought the first run of 2015's. I just started looking in 2016 tho, so I wasn't one of the folks waiting. Although I did have an opportunity to get a leftover 2015 in February. I put the brakes on it for a few reasons: Some of the issues found on this board, Sync 3 and the dealer wasn't pricing it where I thought it should be
Why don't you take a step back and think about the bigger picture before you start calling people retarded. In this modern age of everything being run by a computer, some people are justified in their hesitance to buy something when it first comes out. There will be bugs and there have been bugs, no need for opinions and speculation here, there HAVE been bugs corrected.
Sorry LoneWolfTrucker, I'm not a fan of asking strangers on the internet to be politically correct and I don't believe in safe spaces for adults, so I will keep saying retarded.
