Default 2022 Engineering blunders.

Gearhead since grade school.
4 years as a Navy Safety Equipment mechanic (AME).

Worked for Ford Powertrain division in Michigan and Wisconsin.
worked as a Ford Certified Sales Consultant for 10+ years.
Have owned nothing but Ford trucks.
Bought a new 2022 STX extended cab 4x4 with the 5.0 in March - my retirement present to myself.
Extremely disappointed with so many things.

Maybe he's trying to tell us there are no engineering issues? (let's hope he drives more than 100 miles per week or he'll find out the charging system wasn't designed properly)

tundra engineers keep the truck in production for a decade just to prove they can fix all the problems and mistakes.
