My buddy bought a brand new Super Duty a few months ago and the front end is clunking and giving him issues...Ford dealer said there is an issue and they have fixed  more than a few of them....his first Ford by the way.

On an over inflated msrp............whoopee 

That inflated MSRP is what our excise tax is based on. Buy a 45k truck for 30k, pay ann extra $360 to get it registered vs if you paid tax on sale price.

Both my 95 F250 and 99 F350 diesels had the same front end problems.  Nice to see 25 years later they got it all figured out. :lol:  Wtf 7 years at, 900 to a grand a month.  Sounds dreamy.

That's what you guys get for buying all the newer junk. My 2002 F150 has 208k and it's on the original water pump. :news: Although the body is disappearing quickly. :lol:

my 2012 F150 has 80,000 now. Still on original tires. Did brakes last year and had to replace a coolant fitting.

Other than that that's all the issues ive had so far. Im not buying another one cause I cant afford it.

No kidding...I was really surprised he bought this thing as he honestly doesn't need a 3/4 Ton diesel especially a 70,000 dollar version but it’s his coin! :salute:
