Well I have an engineers mindset. I only had this truck for a few days haha. My goal is to determine if this is a keeper for me long term :) I would say "yes". I really only have the one major complaint about the remote start issue. And would be nice to know if I need a new gas tank.
Thanks so much for your contributions. How are we to know when we need to bring to the dealer for the fuel tank issue? How to identify the trans fluid issue, will it just be leaking everywhere? Where can we check for recalls? How did you notice you needed the half shaft and control arms replaced...
Noteworthy issues after a week of ownership:
Well noted on this forum, but DO NOT use the Remote Start feature if you have a Hybrid. Ford needs to fix this as I foresee major issues. Cat convertor glows red hot and all sorts of nasty odors. I hope no long term affects from this issue. Salesman...
Totally Jealous as this is the color and trim I wanted ... Any chance you snagged the one with the moonroof I seen? I scoured Texas and many dealers with no such luck till I took delivery of a white Lariat locally.
I was wondering when Ford will be releasing what the trim packages and options will look like for 2023. Trying to decide whether to keep my current truck or sell/trade-in for a 2023.
I should mention that I gave $500 deposit to hold the vehicle. It landed on Friday and I got to it on Saturday. This was not ordered by me, but the dealer, I just happened to snag it. Maybe a salesman took it for an extended trial drive when it arrived? When I first seen it on Saturday it had...
Wondering why mine had so many ? Salesman said he saw it come off the trailer and was not driven by anyone. Something about them driving the Hybrids more to test ? It seems that's not the case. Just hope there was no joyriding and more miles were put on it for some other reason.
I had a cracked rim recently on my Toyota Avalon and it was far easier to source. Plus the Lariat rims are larger and ride on low profile tires. I am sure it's a scam along with their other "protection plans"
What is the consensus on getting the additional coverage protection plan for rims / tires. I have the Lariat and was told one rim is $1000+ at present might not even be available and being the larger size more susceptible to rim damage. Any consensus on when factory rims may be available to...
