Seems like all or most of the posts are people bitching about problems with their trucks. Anyone problem free and happy?
Seven weeks and 2200 miles and really not one issue. King ranch powerboost. Runs perfect has had 1 or 2 OTA updates but I’m not sure if anything significant changed. Reminds me of iPhone updates.
I hook my battery to a CTEK charger every 2 weeks or so overnight like all my cars and the battery tests good. Not sure if I need to do that or not.
It’s pretty dusty inside, the KR interior shows dust so if you like it perfect you need to get out the horsehair brushes ha ha! And touch up the ceramic coat and paint film with Griots 3-in-1 ceramic green wax it is awesome stuff. I covered the entire front in Suntek ultra and Ceramic Pro everywhere else.

I just passed 3K miles this weekend. Overall, really no issues. Like others, will have to get the windshield fixed due to the recall, but everything else working fine. Still loving the truck.

I’m at 1200 miles and had no issues until the latest OTA update which is causing false alarms. Love love love the truck! I think the dealership knows how to fix the alarm issue, just need to get scheduled

Just passed 4K miles. Only issue was that Android Wireless back in Jan/Feb, but Google fixed it. Besides that, my wife seems to insist on driving it more than me.

In the beginning I had a 12V deep sleep issue. Only once.
Early on I had a random powertrain fault message. Only once.
So far so good since then and with... 1,621 miles so far. (Had to swap over to app check miles) app stuff is pretty sweet.

Only issue I think I have is the heated steering wheel. In my opinion it doesn't get hot enough. I have 6300 miles on her and love the truck. I will have them check the wheel temp when I get my next oil change.

I had a front camera issue that I fixed myself. Other than it, I love it. Shifts are smooth as butter, and I’m getting over 22mpg in a 3.5 eco. I will say I’ve been Sunday driving it though.

The truck is getting ready for my first oil change and tire rotation this week. No real problems to report. Powerboost is great ... mpg ranging from 24.5 to a high of 31.5 (drove it s-l-o-w to get that ) but overall love the truck.

7k miles on mine. Already drove from Austin to Colorado Springs and back.

0 issues, drives like a dream. My family and friends love it too.

Some small quirks I’ve noticed and talked about in these forums but quirks are to be expected with so much new technology. Knock on wood of course.

Power boost is everything I wanted and I get the MPG advertised. One thing I wasn’t expecting is how much this truck hauls ass.

I will say, the issues you’re reading about are important. Especially the rust. Mine has minor rust that’s been treated. I got real lucky because I didn’t know it was even a thing before I read about it here. I am disappointed with Ford on that front, because if not for that I would be able to recommend this years model with 0 reservations to anyone who asks. So what I would say instead is make sure the underside is good to go, and from there buy with confidence.
