Are you happy with your 2010?

Had mine since 2/10
Great truck. Little problems here and there. Transmission bulkhead leak. Interior door handle snapped. Emblem on tailgate fell off. Emblem on front is peeling. Plastic on dash guages and radio is really soft. Dust boots on the shocks cracked on both sides.
Other than those, plenty of space and power, paint still looks good, and an average lifetime mpg hand calculated at 19.3 mpg over 50,000

Got mine brand new in Oct 2009 and love it. 50,200 miles on it now. Nothing but routine maintenance and the door handle recall. I love how it pulls the horse trailer and the integrated brake controller, like the trailer is not there (at least until you look at the MPG reading). Dogs love the big back seat.

60,000 hard KM's on mine since new in 2010 and I couldn't be happier with it. As a pure workhorse/ pack mule this truck is incredible for a half ton. Powers through everything I need it to and more- and I have no fear of pushing it past the paper limits if needed. The 5.4 is bred for this type of work. Sure, it revs a bit from time to time, but it's doing what it was designed to do, so I just keep it going
Only issues I have had is a small problem with the vacuum up front (actuator and vacuum line damaged which in turn destroyed my hub) and the VCT solenoid- all done under warranty.
The *only* small gripe I have is the epileptic transmission when driving at lower speeds. Pretty sure a tune would fix it, but I can't be bothered.

2010 4.6 3v 3.55. First truck I've ever had and I could not be more pleased. 41k miles with no issues. When we take trips, we take the truck. Quieter than my wife's Infiniti and much more room. Not to mention a better ride. This may have been my last new vehicle to buy and that would not be a bad thing.
Like having a favorite dog. When he's gone do you chance getting another of the same breed? Never seen it work out for anyone.

2010 xlt screw
traded in my 2007 xlt screw in aug 2010 for my new 2010 xlt screw - love it! smoother ride, and the flat rear floor is nice for loading up the back area with the seat folded up. 38k miles and recently put new taller tires for some added off-road clearance and more rigged tread. need to get odometer/speedometer re-set.... suggestions? it seems off by about 10% less.

Purchased my 2010 loaded FX4 in Dec. 2010. 90,000 miles on it includes about 6,000 miles in 4WD off roading. Love it except the speakers for the stereo. I threw a **** pot of money at that issue. Love it even more now.

Love my 2010, currently have 45K on it bought it June of 2010. I have had some small issues but nothing serious. I will agree that I did not like the way the transmission shifted - especially since I was used to rowing my own gears. I would LOVE that option in an F-150 - you listening Ford! A tune fixed the transmission sucking and the RAS system fixed the annoying take off shudder.
The 5.4L in the 09-10 is the best of that version of engines, and like others have stated is a workhorse and has the torque curve to prove it. A tune woke it up pretty good . Don't get me wrong all the new engines are nice, just not nice enough that I want to update.
