Come on Turtle. You know out of the box the vast majority have no issues no matter the make. If I spend that kind of coin on a vehicle I EXPECT zero defects. Does it happen, absolutely not with ALL manufactures. Add to that you completely miss read my post.

Absolutely they all have problems.

BUT, to give you an analogy, would you rather have Windows ME or Windows 7? (after all, they both have problems)

Would you rather try to win money at the Black Jack table or Slots at a casino?

Would you rather have a 7.3 diesel or a 6.0. There is a HUGE difference between replacing a CPS on the road and replacing a head gasket. (both problems)

Or to hit closer to home on this thread. Would you rather have a weepy tranny hose or valve heads fall of the stems into the engine?

I want to make my odds as good as possible when I buy something as expensive as a pickup or something as cheap as a digital camera.

Like I said before. Ford has some problems with this engine and in 2015 they are addressing these problems. Good for them. It's very telling that all of the problems they are addressing are the ones that continually show up on the forums.

Sorry you think I misread your post.

It's really not telling. Revisions get made, should Ford fix problems that no one is experiencing? Of course problems that come up with the most frequency will be addressed. I've seen you and others bring that up like it's some kind of point. You should ask your "Tech" friends to explain "Project life cycle" to you.
