I've had a few minor problems - Side Mirror cracked after a car wash and then a temp drop to -10F, Windshield, bad Garage Door Opener, trailer brake reprogram and a Gear Selector Inner Lock Re-Program, but otherwise LOVE my new truck.

BTW - The Gear Selector is a recently reported problem/bulletin - There were times when right after starting the , the shifter interlock (console shifter) wouldn't release until I would take my foot off the brake and then reapply the brake. Dealer found a bulletin on the issue and said it was also related to a problem with the console shift not coming back up for it "stowed" position. Dealer Re-programed it, and it now shifts out of park as smooth as butter. (although it's only been since yesterday)

Bought 10 March, 2200 miles. Surface rust on rear differential which I took care of. Everything else has been perfect. I’m always looking for excuses to get on the road.

300 Miles on 2021 F-150 Platinum. Have set for easy exit, driver seat never returns to driver 1 setting after I start engine, steering wheel returns sometimes. After I start engine I always have to push driver 1 setting to return the seat and steering wheel to my liking.

Going to wait for first oil change to have it looked at.

Besides one phantom “Deep Sleep Mode” dead battery, and those two little wiper shims I posted earlier about, I’m proud to say, I’m problem free! I consider those things nominal.

With all the negative press, I’ve been terrified of coming out to my truck to find a leak, rough engine, Sync malfunctioning, or any other issue, but she’s been going Ford Tough for me so far!

And today i had a tailwind coming home from the coast and averaged 28.3 for a stretch of highway towing a Gheenoe.
Having a Gheenoe I knew you had to be from Florida. My husband has one that he completely restored.

Great mileage! That's been my only complaint is that I've been disappointed in the mpg. I figured it would have been better than my 16 Suburban but it's worse by a couple of mpg. I thought the EB would have been a bit better.

Ha, thanks.

My neighbor says the same thing. He keeps walking out of his garage with a welding helmet on.
Oh, that was my neighbor.

Smartass! ??

3K miles and no issues. I had the same thought as one poster above about the heated wheel not getting as warm as I thought it should. My previous vehicle it would get nice and toasty even when it was -20 outside. And my lane keep assist really seems to like the right side of the lane. I may have the dealer look at those 2 things when I go in for the first oil change but those are very small nits. Great truck!
If the truck is staying to right side of the lane, then it could be a safety factor, because they teach that in driving school, stay to the right when on two lane roads.

This will be the "last year" you'll be able to buy a new F150 this cheap.
I’m glad that I ordered what I wanted when I did and why I’m in for the long run, order March 1st and 2 pushes and expecting another one after June 14 week. Can’t wait.
