As a 2018 F150 owner

I say this:

Fix Or Repair Daily

Found On Road Dead

I love my F150 but am terrified of what is coming in repairs. Been pretty lucky so far but suspect that won't last.

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

I just unloaded my GMC, the transmission and engine were both about to blow at

My other car is a Honda and that thing has 175,000 miles and runs great. Only

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

Nov 25, 5:55pm

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.

My Explorer had 218,000 miles and 20 years before it croaked

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.

Wife’s Volvo that’s only 3 years old is also constantly breaking. I’m in there
