I have a 2011 EB 4X4. No problems and would definitely buy another. Good luck with whatever you buy.

Read the threads about the 55-60 MPH shudder and the condensation issue. Then see if the truck you're looking at exhibits any of these symptoms. If you plan to tow, ask the dealer if you can take a test drive with your trailer. Empty and loaded can be two different animals with this beast.

Had mine a little over a year, 33,000 miles, no mechanical problems at all. Minor SYNC issue fixed with a TSB.

I would buy it again.

Ask a Ford service writer to enter the VIN and look up the service history, and have him print it out for you. That should tell you all you need to know.
