Default Finally bought a “F” but not isf, rcf, gsf. It’s F150

It’s been almost 6-7 months since I start looking to buy something new to replace my is350. First I was looking for isf but price was high for what you get ( in my opinion), rcf was small and Gsf was a good option but everything inside was kind of similar to my rx350 and wanted something different so I moved on and I was looking for bmw M3 and M5 for while . I still don’t know how I end up with ford . I never thought one day I will ford but so far I like it. It doesn’t have quality of Lexus for sure but has some nice stuff.

Good luck. The F150 is one of the top trucks with the most potential issues.

So because Ford sells a ton of trucks means there will be no potential problems? I didn't know that sales and potential issues were directly correlated. That's some genius logic there.

yeah i did my research and look like ford trucks don’t have problems. Yes some of their sedan have problems and that’s why they will stop selling those . F150 is number one selling vehicles in america and there is a reason for that

That why major manufacturers have assembly plants in the U.S. and still you can’t compare japanese trucks like tundra to F150.

Congrats on the F
I too have a couple of F's ,150 and GS. The 4x4 is still problem free after 14 months, minus an outstanding recall to fix the left rear door lock. It's been several months since they admitted the issue, but they still have not given the actual recall for my unit.

Thanks, you got nice F’s . I heard about door issue but dealer told me they fix it on 2018. Hopefully you get your fix soon.
