Wish I could say I am that happy with mine.
I have had two incidents of the dreaded Exhaust Filter Saturated issue. Both while towing, both in the middle of nowhere. One time half way between Roswell and Albuquerque(limp mode, had to be towed) and the other time on Highway 50 about 100 miles west of Ely, NV. I dropped it down to 3rd gear and ran about 100 miles at 70mph, eventually it "fixed" itself. Ford has no clue why.
Also, had the transfer case fail and had to be completely replaced at 25000 miles. Was in the shop for a month with that one.
I will say that Ford and my dealer stepped up and none of the issues have cost me any money.
Given these issues I am, for the first time in my life, giving thought to buying one of the ESP plans from Ford.
