My 22 King Ranch has had multiple issues over the 13 months I have owned it. The worst is a drivetrain shudder. My dealer replaced the torque converter and over multiple following visits, finally determined the transmission has an issue. Ford says the shudder is a normal characteristic of an F150 and refused to allow the dealer to replace the transmission.
I have also had issues with the screen going blank, the truck completely draining the battery in less than 24 hours, and multiple false warnings that the tailgate is down. Recently, the tailgate dropped on its own damaging the paint on the tailgate.
As a result of these repeated problems, my F150 will soon belong to someone else and I’ll be driving another brand.

If you have (have had) trucks with "zero" issues why the heck do you want to get rid of it???
I wouldn't buy a new truck for a number of reasons...price, value, quality and the ridiculous credits Ford gives for missing options!!! ($50 credit for no heated steering wheel) lmfao

Ok, so what happens to all the lemons that get traded in or sold to unsuspecting used buyers? I see this all the time on these forums. Owners getting rid of bad trucks that can't be fixed. This is why everytime I'm at a dealer and see all those newer used trucks they always have, I'm like nope. Nope.
A used truck is like a warm toilet seat. Will not consider it.

@Ford Motor Co. Aren't you gonna say your usual stupid "Hi there," BS and pretend to ask for Mossey Creek's VIN number (which you don't even run or do anything with) and act like you're going to do something? LOSER.
They did however, provide me with an extended warranty for 5 years and 75,000 miles with a $100 deductible. That gave me 15,000 additional miles of drivetrain warranty. They also gave me a $2,000 credit toward the purchase of a new Ford truck. In the end, after owning five Ford trucks through the years, those incentives weren't enough to convince me to keep this truck or get another Ford after the experiences I've had with my 22.
