I've been to the dealer 7 times now and about to go for an 8th in less than a year. Something needs to be done.

You can blame the thin windshields on the EPA. Otherwise, I love this truck a lot more than my 2002.

Right, its a dealer issue and only a dealer issue. You were making it sound like you were blaming Ford and the truck at first.

I will say those flares are ugly man lol, but we all have our own taste. My truck blew both pillar tweeters, driver side window actuator, ball joints "stock suspension, " 20 rust spots on front bumper from rock chips, rust was bleeding though and flaking paint, cloth interior stitching coming undone, now two cracks on the windshield and now idea how they happened, "don't recall two loud bangs to the windshield." I paid toooooo much money and should of never did it, a 21 year old has learned his lesson young.

Paint and sheet metal are the same ''thickness'' today, as they were 10 years ago.

Lol, most of those are just the cost of doing business and owning a vehicle. Every car/truck gets paint chips and cracks in the windshield. Depending on where you live, this has been a bad winter and rock chips has and will be bad because of all the **** on the roads.

I'm guessing by the two blown tweeters that you wouldn't have heard the rocks hit the windshield anyway.

Lol I guess most of you just accept the fact that you spent 30+ k on a truck that is a pos.

I wish Ford had used truck glass and not the cheap car glass. A truck window should be able to have gravel just bounce right off of it. Damn you Ford.
