I read most of Ricatic's nightmare as well only it was too late for me as I had already bought my Ford. As it turns out I am glad I wasn't turned off by Ricatic's misfortune as this has been, without question, the best vehicle I have ever owned.
I would say exactly ditto, the same for me. Fact is, I probably would not have bought the truck had I known about this potential problem beforehand.
But I did, then got nervous because of the stories floating around. But, as 4X4ord said, mine has just been an excellent vehicle.
ONE GRIPE THOUGH! I
absolutely hate the plastic oil pan and drain plug on this one!It is a 2011, just as is the one you are looking at. Because of this plastic set up, you cannot get a Fumoto style oil drain valve for it.
Mind you, it is simple to change oil on. But I would prefer to have a Fumoto valve, which of course I have since found one cannot do with this particular year.
So one tidbit to keep in mind regarding the 2011.
