2018 Ford F-250 Death Wobble - Dealership Tells A Man His Truck Isn't Designed To Go Over 65 MPH!

[Protocol7]

I don't think Ford's recent trucks are that great tbh, they have ballooned in price like crazy (my dad's 2001 F250 only cost him $29k, the same equipped model would cost at least $75k today). I know a few people who own a 2016+ F series truck, and they've all had to take it to the shop for the stupidest shit. You know it's bad when not even an American car company can make seemingly competent pickup trucks anymore.

That isn't to say ill of their other cars, my 2017 Escape has been rock solid and both my sister and my wife have Focuses and they work great. The trucks make me wary, especially for the skyrocketing price, too.

My work partner drives a 2017 F-350. It's a stupidly large truck but he's yet to have a single performance issue, and having had to drive from one end of the province to the other in that vehicle with him, I can say at least that particular one was a really good ride/drive.

Not cheap though.

They're great when they work, just seems like sometimes the stupidest shit breaks on 'em. My FIL's F350 started spewing coolant the third day he got the truck. It's great now, but the faults I do see are weird as hell.

I don't want to discount Ford since they seem to have been putting way more effort into the quality of their cars compared to other American competition (fuck FCA), but still, shit is weird.

There is actually a stupid little plastic flap in the cab, it covers one of the usb outlets I think.

That is cheap, finicky and shitty feeling, I think we both noticed that on one of the drives we've had.

at the very least, the redneck side of my family owns a lot of trucks, and the recent batches of Fords didn't get raked over the coals as hard as I'd expect from those guys.
