I'm also a northwesterner. I have never had any issue with the limp.

I think what most are saying is you have little to worry about. Can something happen? Yes, but the likelihood is low. Your energy would be better spent worrying about other things and if you are biting your nails over what might happen to your truck, may I suggest Xanax

I'm worried a **** mod will come in and lay the smack down, for the name calling shenanagins.

I said this on a local F-150 facebook page, but the "limp mode" is almost a non-issue for me now. I have had it happen and I adjust my driving accordingly in the rain.

Well...I've owned my 2010 F150 for 3 years now and living up in Alberta and now BC, not only has she done fine in the Sun and rain, but also fine in the snow.

Oh, and no leaks.

Driven through prime conditions several time w/o an incident so not really worried about it. I am worried about the effects of obamacare...

I plan on towing my travel trailer up north to Oregon in October/November. I have no idea if it ever had that problem with the previous owner or, if it did, would the dealer even have told me about it before I bought it from them.

I am also a bit concerned with how it's going to handle the rain. Leaks, squeaks, electrical problems, lights filling up with water, etc.

So......what has been your experiences in the rain in a F150 and what are you worried about? If anything.
Pull an OASIS report. This will tell you if the previous owner had it in for the limp mode issue.
