Take any manufacturer and have them build 1.4 million vehicles. Guess what each one will have a bad parts delivered that go into vehicles and fail.
It's been a great tool for me. Done seven trips with 960 miles in a day. Towed 6000lbs over about 10% of the total miles.
Use it right and you'll love it more every time.

I just sold my 2019 XLT 5.0 and now looking for new truck. I really loved the 150 and didn't mind the minor issues: consumed a little oil but not bad, half quart every 3k miles, warped dash, it sounded almost like a diesel, and the hard shifts on the 10 speed from 3-5. But that all changed when the transmission slipped out of gear one morning. It only happened once but thats never happened on any vehicle I've driven.
That being said, the truck seemed really well built. Nothing was broken or falling apart.
I was considering and Tundra but the new ones have have a lot of issues mostly minor stuff but still a lot.
What worries me is that it can fail just out of warranty. That's not just people whining on the internet. If you can hold off a year supply chain issues should be resolved. I would also get the extended warranty no matter what truck. I just don't have a lot of faith in the modern trucks and 10 speed transmission, or the engine.
Different brands, Ford, Chevy, Toyota have different problems. I never read of a bearing failing in the engine here on the F150 forum but it's common on the new Tundra.
It got to the point I'm just driving my daily driver SUV and waiting to see what happens. May not know about engine or transmission issues until after warranty. The 10 speed was supposed to be rock solid 3 years ago and now has tons of issues. Maybe got them resolved by now? And if something breaks it could be in the shop for months.
Took a bit of adjusting but just going to keep my daily driver compact SUV. Reliabiulty will be the death of modern ICE trucks.
