Who's new 2011 Superduty has been 100% perfect so far?

I will be a warranty customer here shortly. The shifting irregularities have been getting worse since a recent 1000 mile trip. The last couple of days the 4/5 shifts have gotten very clunky. Something is not right...
I would love to know the real AFR of these trucks (i.e. actual number of warranty claims on the installed base).

Just got back to MI from a 1750 mile vacation through NC and PA. No towing just a motorcycle in the bed. Trip meter said I used 100.2 gals. Mostly highway between 65-80 MPH. Truck passed through 4300 total miles. No issues since I got the truck in February. Great road trippin truck!

2011 F-250 CC FX4 PSD KR
Bought mine Nov 2010. Now has 3300 miles. (1100 towing)
The first night home in the garage, I identified a slight coolant leak in the fuel cooler line. It took two trips to the dealer to get them to fix it.
The drivers door speaker is making odd low frquency vibration, but I'll have them look at it at my next service.
Other than that everything else (and that's a LOT of stuff) has been great so far.

Only 1700 miles on it so far but problem free to date. Endless power on tap and pulls my TT like its not even there.
Only "issue" I could come up with so far is I wish it had come with 1-touch up/down driver/pass window switches. If the 2012 comes with them, I am buying those switches and replacing my 2011 switches. That and it is too easy to drive it too fast.
Great truck with the limited miles I have on her but I couldn't be happier with it.

Approaching 15,000 miles. No heavy hauling. Extreme climate and lots of idle time. 10-15 issues, some discussed on this forum, some not.
I consider this "bad luck" unacceptable at any price point in any model/year from any manufacturer.
Issues range from sales to service to
Latin-based nav to DEF sensor seizures.
No life threatening or serious drive train issues.
No point in discussion as issues will not be resolved. Would bail but I fear there is currently no better 3/4 on the market.

So far, so good, except......
2011, 3/4 ton 6.7PSD, 4x4, Lariat, SCREW, loaded. Job 2, production April 14, 2011 so it has most recent flash.
1500 miles, three weeks, no problems, tranny is smooth, no CEL issues yes, fit, finish, power, all very good - I know its early, so knock on wood.
I will be towing a lot this summer and will post accordingly. I upgraded from a loaded F-150 Lariat because I got tired of pulling a trailer that weighs more than my truck. We pull an 8k lb travel trailer approx. 7500 miles a year - lot of long treks through weather. F-150 was capable, but was working very hard, especially in the hills. It also tended to get pushed around a lot with winds over 20mph when towingthe trailer.
Looking forward to towing with this....
If anyone from Ford pays attention to this site, two suggestions: if you are going to advertise "premium sound system" in these things, put a preimium sound system in them. I traded in a loaded 2009 F-150 with Nav and Sony system, and the Nav/Premium sound in the 2011 F-250 doesn't even come close....some might say for the money, it sucks. I am upgrading the sound in the coming weeks.
Second, will someone please go smack the engineer upside the head that put the coat/clothes hanger hooks in the back rear of the cab above the passenger headrests.......what a dumb, dumb, dumb idea. I am assuming he never has to trasport any dry cleaning, but some of us do. Aside from the fact nothing stays on the hooks and slides off whenever you touch the brakes, when you do have anything on them at all it takes up a rear passenger seat. Did I mention what a dumb idea this was???
On that note, I lifted the headliner up and it looks like there may be some holes above the rear passenger door to mount some sort of hook for a hanger/hook in the traditional spot - anyone have any suggestion?
Oh yeah, and the exhaust, a little noise would be nice! All that power, even a low murmur like the F-150's would be nice. This thing is silent!! My aftermarket guy couldn't believe it and told me to leave it alone until I wring out any warranty issues that may come up in the first year.
Overall, with a couple of annoyances as mentioned above, quality truck. I know there's a lot of complaining going on both this site and Powerstroke.org. I have been following this truck/motor for the last 12 months in anticipation of buying when year one bugs got worked out. Potential buyers need to keep in mind that there are more than 250k of these out now, and statistically speaking, the problems reported on these sites don't seem terribly out of line. Yeah, it sucks for those with a problem child, and hopefully Ford/dealer take care of them. This is my third truck in 5 years from my local dealer, and he's always taken care of any issues.
Obviously, those with "squeaky wheels" are going to make a lot more noise, than those that are happy with a problem-free truck and have never had reason to search out these sites.

I have to agree there. I got to meet the Sheriff of Green River, WY last weekend after being clocked at 90 in a 65 on the way from Manila, UT to Green River, WY. I was with my father in law and had just told him how fast we were going. He thought we were doing 65 or so. Couldn't believe how smooth and quiet the truck was.
Somehow I got off with a warning....believe it or not. I think the Sheriff liked my truck.
