After twenty years and six or seven personal Ford trucks (and many more company trucks), this 2021 F-150 is probably the last one I'll ever buy. I understand that things break and we are collectively dealing with a supply chain under tremendous strain but Ford has chosen to forego another 20 years of selling me new F-series pickups by their handling of this one.
I've had nothing but intermittent problems out of my Job 1 King Ranch F-150. Many of the same ones that are prevalent here. I'm on my third APIM and waiting for another. Truck was delivered with rust all over the undercarriage. Lots of intermittent electrical gremlins.
I paid extra for the Bluecruise enablement. After a yearlong delay I was told to get ready via a letter from Ford. After a month of waiting for the OTA update, nothing. So a full two weeks before I'm scheduled to drive from South Texas to Utah I take it in to get the update done manually. Truck is currently "undriveable" with no return to service date available. My guess is that I could probably get the update done myself using the instructions here but I digress...
While that's not great, rather than do anything to help, they have instead asked me to return my rental cae since the 10 day allowance at $35 per day is up...guess what $35/day gets you in Houston...and are very sorry I don't have my vehicle to use. The communication from both dealership and Ford have been nonexistent.
So to summarize, through no fault of my own I don't have my truck or any real alternative to take on a long road trip with my family tomorrow. Thanks Ford, I really appreciate you stepping up here to find a realistic solution that you have put me in.
