Ford may have made the engine more durable, but the 10 speed transmission and all of the hvac and software problems and glitches still make an f150 a questionable purchase for many.
I agree that's the interesting part and I think the perfect scapegoat Ford is looking for with so much cultural popular push back and distain for AI in general. Ford is riding the hate train in an effort to excuse poor engineering. It's taking a victory lap for "seeing the light" and brining...
I read that story and it’s summed up as Ford wants to blame AI rather than take responsibility for all their problematic engineering while taking a victory lap for JD Power…which is a nonsensical survey in my opinion. The fact is, other makes may have just gotten worse rather than ford improved...
Agree with above. Sad that they come up with these ideas that very few people can afford these days. At least the 4k tremor package on my 350 added meaningful components and capability.
Yes, I want one too…and yet, I put an oem front air dam on my trd off road Tacoma and it’s netted me +2.5mpg….I think wanting good mpg and wanting big v8 power just aren’t mutually exclusive thoughts in my mind. I’m ok with the dissonance.
And yet, every time I check FB Tundra feed it’s always someone asking about buying a tundra who hasn’t heard of the problem or someone with Christmas lights for a dashboard on a tundra they bought a few months back asking the group if they know what could have happened. Keep getting the word out….
Dang, nobody can build a reliable, largely issue free truck anymore. All these trucks were designed to meet cafe/emission standards and now they are all trash. Toyota, Ford, GM, Dodge…every one is less reliable and more glitchy than its predecessor.
I’m seriously on the verge of picking up a 26...
It’s really sad to see Toyota stuck in this quagmire of their own making. They have to make it right without replacing engines forever. I think a prorated buyback is in order. [your mileage]% of 200k miles = buyback value of what you paid or some formula that favors the buyer.
3 or so weeks ago, after deliberating about how doing things while you are able to physically do things as you age, I decided I have one more fun sporty car in me.
So I sold the LandCruiser for this and all I can say is ….worth it.
Happier all the time I walked away from my 23 tundra. I’m running 2 vehicles with their new turbo 4. Hoping it’s a good one but wont really know for a long time. My daughter has 46k miles on her 24 taco. No issues.
