See? It works in monkeys!
You don't have to pull the cab. The engine failed under 600 miles. This is what the new vehicle warranty is for.
Now... if you are uncomfortable after the engine is replaced under warranty then it's your prerogative to decide if the financial loss on the sale is worth it.
It sucks but these things happen. From what I can see there's no entitlement to complete replacement of the product.

I had this happen on a new fully loaded Hyundai Sonata, 3000 miles and new engine and 5000 miles cracked valve. Ironically the check engine light came on as I was delivering it for trade in on the F150 again. Despite not qualifying for lemon law(4 times for the same issue here in Texas) yet Hyundai put me in a loaner car each time right away and offered to make some car payments for the inconvenience.
Contact a Lemon Law attorney to discuss your specific situation but I would not tell Ford you are lawyering up as they will stop any talks or negotiation you currently having going on.
I feel your pain and it sucks what you are going through this as I can relate but as long as Ford is correcting with a brand new motor(not remanufactured) they are doing their part and what a warranty is for.

I feel bad for you. I know I would be pissed.
I don't understand why people think that the only way to get something done is to call a lawyer.
That is one of the biggest problems in this world.

I called a lawyer a while back. They never returned my call. Guess there wasn't enough money in my situation where I genuinely needed help. most things can be settled by looking someone in the eye and telling them what you need in a calm polite manner. if that doesn't work start jumping up and down and screaming. either way the situation will change.

Well its not a new truck anymore, it is used. It has been titled.
You have a used truck with a blown motor. Where does that call for a new truck?
I agree with this.

New motor with a longer extended warranty would be a deal for me.

I bought a brand new F-150 back in 2005 and as I was driving out of the parking lot a saleman smacked the side of the truck and did about 4k of damage. I did not leave that night until I got a new truck to replace it. I couldn't imagine having a brand new truck that is already got bondo and new parts installed.
I would keep pushing for a new truck. Just my two cents.

I bought a new 2014 f-150 on Jan. 21st, on feb 13th with only 545 miles the #6 connecting rod broke and took out the engine.I sat on the side of the road for 2 hrs waiting for ford road side assistance to get towed to the dealer a bought it from.I haven't even made the first payment yet.I have spent the last week arguing with ford and the dealer. Ford wants to put a new motor in and I want a new truck.If any other product you buy breakes in the first 30 days they replace it. I want a new truck,what do you guys think.
I know this isn't relevant, what engine was it?
