Default 2014 Possible Problem Advice Needed

Hi all!
Newbie here. Getting ready to purchase a 2014 F150 4x4 Supercrew 5.0 6.5 bed truck. Most likely ordering it.

I've read up on the 4x4 hub grind problem and the driveline shake problems.
Does anyone know if any of these have been remedied on the 2014 trucks? Thanks for your help, Robert.

2014 are pretty new for issues but design has not changed a whole lot and since people with 11,12,13 had em and Ford hasn't fixed them I'm pretty sure it will continue in 14.

You won't have any issues. Just make sure to anticipate your need for 4WD rather than engaging it while stopped on ice.

Fingers crossed that this one will be good to me. So far it has been with 3k on it, I'm enjoying problem-free motoring for the time being at least. I made sure this one wasn't built on a Saturday like my last one was.

Mine was built on Sunday, Oct 13, 2012 and my wife I just bought a 14 Escape 2L Ecoboost crazy fast for a SUV was built on Friday Dec 6, 2013. I tore the level out of mine because I have the quad to carry now on wkd, only 700 LBS but more than I had when I bought it. Only issue was pop in reverse but so far a few months after second fix no noise, fingers crossed.

Truly I would think if you buy a 14 and don't mod anything you, (fingers crossed) might be ok. Key, don't mod anything or face the Ford "not factory" BS.
