They’ve been in the pickups for years. My bud (whose an engineer for ford) says it’s his favorite engine and all his trucks of late have had it. He never mentioned any problems with it in his pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it would be the the other way. You have never worked in manufacturing obviously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the other quality concerns, you are only going to be as reliable as the parts you purchase. A lot of times they buy the cheapest and not the best. Have seen it a lot and sometimes makes me scratch my head. whats odd was the engines had way less issues in an F150 so they should be able to figure out what they changed.

And the reason why Honda and Toyota are low on inventory. The two companies choose to cut production rather than be slammed with warranty costs and pissed off customers from sourcing inferior parts. It’s going to take ford years to recovery from this shitstorm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found it interesting out of the ford pickup motors he liked that 2.7T the best. He drives a long way to work so mileage counts.

I don’t really like any of the new fords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
