I won’t buy a ford again. My wife’s Edge seems to need a few thousand dollars

They told me to get the 3.5 instead of the 2.7 turbo but man the 3.5 has so many

My F-150 has been great, no mechanical issues so far after 7 years. #Fortunate?

What motor do you have in it? I’ve always been told to go with the 5.0 V8

Magneto

3.5L V6. Don’t recall the dealership having any 5.0L when I was looking.

I’d follow that advice; 3.5 is quick but it’s complex design can lead to issues

The 5.0 added cylinder deactivation in 2021. The verdict is still out on whether

Yeah - I’d install the defeat for that. GMs with it have shown it’s problematic.

So long as the 5.7 doesn't have machining debris in it. (Ugh.)

I’ve heard Ford F series trucks are great, and all other Fords are terrible.

How’d you get so lucky. Must’ve been a Wednesday when they built them for you.

Apparently there is a class action lawsuit for this exact failure in her car.
