I know a couple of guys with newer F 150's...5 liter V8's...so far so good. I also know some guys with newer Dodge and GM trucks..so far so good.
Think you got the odd one..that has an issue.
Back in the '70's I used to work for a trucking company. They bought a new Ford E 300 cargo van...302 V8, auto transmission. It was the truck from hell...the downtime was horrible...engine, transmission work...always seemed to have one issue or the other.
They traded in...after a year +... on a new E 350 dually, cab and chassis..think it had either a 16 or 18 foot insulated box...460 V8, C6 AT.
I thought they were nuts...getting another Ford.
But this E 350 was one of the best vehicles I ever used. Robust, tough, ran like a Swiss watch..durable, no problems.
They also had a couple of E 300 commercial vans...300 I six....tough as nails, totally reliable.
So...sometimes the luck of the draw.
