New Gen. F150 owners, how many problems

Mike,

Sorry for your bad luck. I run the same model year and have had zero issues.

Hope all is smooth from here on out,
Stu

The only problem I've had with mine in 16,000 miles is one episode of the intercooler condensation falter when I stomped on the accelerator after running a good while in the rain. The dealership checked it out and re-flashed the computer. I've never been able to make it do it again.

Previously I had a 2008 Silverado Z-71 for about 50,000 miles. Only problems with it were 2 electric window motors quit and it was a wimp when pulling the trailer.

My wife had a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan that gave us fits. Automatic door closers didn't work properly, but most annoying - engine would miss out for no apparent reason and it wouldn't show a code so the shop wanted to just try replacing parts, including spark plugs and plug wires at 40,000 miles.

All of them can have problems.

FWIW my 12 2500 Ram feels tighter than my 2010 F150. Not one squeak rattle or clunk. 2010 F150 had the tranny bump and various rattles plus rear end clunk. Took it in for the tranny bump and Ford said run it till it breaks then they'll no what's wrong. Not kidding, that's what the tech guy that drove around with me said.

My eco was the first truck I've ever had in for significant problem/warranty work at low miles. It ingested water while towing in a thunderstorm. Although I knew about the potential for the problem and that it was very likely to happen when I hammered on it in those conditions, it still killed my confidence in the truck. Only the left bank catalytic converter needed replacement. No other issues from the incident.

Aside from this, there were no other issues or causes for concern. The truck was a very nice rig compared to the GMs I've owned.

Had a front axle seal on a GM 1/2 ton leaking oil before the first oil change. Another GM 1/2 ton had a front axle seal go out at about 20k. Another of my GM 1/2 tons had a front sealed wheel bearing go out at around 30k. From the time it started making noise to the time I finally pulled into the dealer was only about 20 miles and it was bad enough the brake caliper pistons started getting pushed back in and I had no brakes on the first pump of the pedal! My last GM 1/2 ton with the 5.3 and AFM had one or more of the lifters that would collapse and not pump up for a minute or so on occasion. Sounded terrible, like a 2000 model year diesel. Main seal was also seeping at 50k when I traded for the F150HD.

Other than that, trouble-free:) Fingers crossed on the 6.2.

Google 2012 or 2013 ford f150 problems and see what forums are saying. I do this for all the big three to see what issues are.

Hmmm, bad luck?

You can get a bad one in all of them. I don't know what you hear bad about Dodge but I am a member of about 4 Ram forums and I don't see many problems
