WTF? My Ecoboost does not have so much stuff everyone else has

I'm glad to have made you smile. Keep smiling, it's good for the soul.
I've been around F-150's long enough to know there will always be some kind of legitimate problems with some of them. When the Ford engineers and dealers can't resolve them, that's why we have lemon laws. That said, I do feel badly for our Canadian members who have ongoing issues and who may not have such legal recourse in their province or territory.
Back on point, some of the posts on here make it sound like all F-150's, or all ecoboosts, suffer all these issues. I decided to post a light hearted thread to counter that notion because it just isn't true. Some people on here are way too serious and much too critical of others.
As for using my truck like a soccer mom, well I've got cars I use for that sort of thing. I have never said much on here about how I use my truck, so I will share this much with you. Last weekend I had 1250 pounds of manure in the bed of my truck. I was within my payload weight limits with room to spare with that load. It went up hills fine and did not clunk, shudder, shake, rattle, or roll. I just didn't take any pictures or talk about it because I didn't think there was much that is very interesting or informative to discuss about hauling 1250 pounds of smelly manure around. Given the amount of BS I am reading here, I must have been wrong.

You can post smilies and all the thumbs-up you want but it lends zero credibility as to your being a mature man.
If a silly forum brings out such keyboard machismo in you....I'd suggest you not have kids. Thumbs-up!!!!!

Hahaha. Ok now that we got all that off our chest, lets get back on topic here. The one thing i dislike about this forum is that to get to the wealth of information we need to dig through a truck load of manure to find it. Makes the search function nearly useless as the informative Posts are buried in countless pages of name calling and richard measuring contests.
This is a fun thred to show others interested in the new f150 that not all are bad, and if you have extra money just buy a bmw and hire a contractor to haul manure for you.

Are you 12? Something has given you a huge chip on your shoulder and if you think your antagonistic approach here will win you friends or any support, you are seriously mistaken.

I'll trade you. Mine has all the options (Except garage door opener)
What's going on? I'm starting to get really ticked off. It seems like I did not get what I paid for. It says on this forum that all ecoboosts have a driveline clunk. Mine does not have this. It says on this forum that all ecoboosts shudder. I can't make mine shudder, no matter what I do or how cold it gets. This truck listed for almost $52000, I feel like I was ripped off because I did not get the shuddering feature. My intercooler does not get full of water. I thought a water cooler came standard with the ecoboost so you could get a nice cold drink of water on those long drives. My sync keeps the connection everytime all the time. This is so annoying that I don't have the drop connection feature for those times the boss calls while I'm on the way home from the office. Darned Microsoft software. My ecoboost climbs hills very well and can even accelerate going up a hill. I seem to be missing the chattering feature most ecoboost owners have when they try to climb a hill. Why would anyone want to climb a hill? Still, I'm mad because I don't have the hill climb feature, unless it's buried in the menu somewhere. Maybe it's just for Raptors, like hill descent?
About three times a week I read a thread on here with a title like "Do all ecoboosts do [fill in the blank]". Mine never seems to do any of those things. I'm taking it back to the dealer on Monday. Lemon Law, here we come. I paid a lot of money for this ecoboost. It needs to have all the features.
Do you think these issues will be covered by the warranty?
Now my third cousin, once removed, has a fiance whose brother-in-law bought a 5.0 and it makes 743.2946 HP at the rear wheels as measured on the Bu-TTox Dyno, and his 5.0 has all these features.

They don't know how to fix it. I
If I am a minority, give me another F-CKING TRUCK!
They denied my buy back last week. "We denied your buy back because our engineers came up with another solution (must be different from the other 3). This solution will be released in 2 weeks.
I have been listening to that for 7 months and finally had to hire a lawyer.
I'm glad I am not a majority. Enjoy your trucks.
I am sad they didn't just swap out my POS for one that worked months ago.
Time and money wasted.
Thanks Ford.
