As you can see, I've gone 100 miles and around four and a half hours in the truck. The first 22 miles were for dealer prep and the test drive.
Thus far, the truck has been everything I wanted from it. It is good at what I bought it for. The bed is large enough for me to do my three time a week supply runs. And as you can see from the picture, the mileage has been better than advertised. It's almost three times better than the mileage on the 1990 Silverado this truck replaced.
Based on what I read here, I was prepared for a few issues. But I've had no issues with the hood shaking at highway speeds. The entertainment system has been solid both when I use Bluetooth and Android Auto. The only glitch with that is with the clock, which seems to reset for no reason. If it continues to do that, I'll let @Ford Motor Company and my dealer know but honestly, it's not that big of a deal. If it continues until I need to change the oil, I'll have them look at it then.
I also haven't had any issues with the dash or door rattling. And the brakes took a little getting used to but once I did, everything was fine.
I haven't gotten used to the dial shifter yet, but then, I pretty much turn it maybe five times per trip so that's easy to understand. And I'm not used to the push button parking brake. On the Silverado, I honestly never used it. On my Mustang, there's a lever to pull and release.
Thus far, I'm pleased with my truck. I'll do a 500 mile review when I hit that threshold. I may be able to do it on this initial tank of gas. That to me is amazing coming from a 13 mpg truck and an 18 mpg car.
