I agree with its a nice truck. Mine didn't have problems until after 55k. Well, my first set of front brake pads were warped at 25k, which is pretty bad. I do love how roomy the back seat is.

Reports of them randomly losing power.

I personally love the Ecoboost trucks - I just prefer to wait a few years for new technology so all the kinks of "new" are worked out

As Marc said, it's fun when it's running right, but frustrating when it's not.

yup just like any vehicle, I will say this Ford has made the most improvement over the past few years IMO. I will still take a GM over a Ford tho any day.

The ******* truck is still in the shop, going on 4 weeks.

Warranty was denied due to our inability to provide proper maintanence records. This is typical with our field trucks due to many factors.

Maybe it really does take 6 weeks to degree in those cams. lol
