2015 ecoboost 2.7
OK here we go I've been hearing a lot about the new 2.7 ecoboost good on gas no problems so I brought one 5 months ago brand new and at 18000 miles the transmission went out Driving it down the road and it. Died out when to start it back up and it was making a tick tick noise put it in drive and didn't move so took it to the dealership they told me it needs a transmission pump and a torque converter and gaskets and they want and even give me a rental car even though I was under factory warranty so for all you people out there looking to buy this truck with this engine STAY AWAY THERE JUNK nothing but problem after problem ford still can't get it right I'm so Disappointed

The transmission is the same across the F150 platform. So blaming a transmission failure on the engine.... is... stupid....
Also, failures happen, ford is fixing it, and by no means is this a common problem.
Troll???

And I'm so disappointed with how you butchered the English language.
Let's take a look at the facts:
Brand new account just to talk crap about the 2.7EB
Describes a problem that actually isn't related to the motor at all, but rather the transmission (which is the same transmission in all F150s)
Poor grammar and spelling
When questioned, immediately adds "well, my brother has one and it sucks too!" line
Conclusion: troll. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Sorry for your issues. The others have a point, better grammar and punctuation make for a more enjoyable read. Likewise, joining just to rant doesn't usually sit well with our community of enthusiasts. I hope you didn't treat your dealer like this.
The transmission in your truck is the same that came with the 2009 trucks except for some software updates. This is not a common problem. The good thing is, you are under warranty and it's Ford's problem.
The car rental would be automatic and unquestioned if you had an extended service plan (ESP), but, you clearly do not since a rental wasn't offered.
Good luck with your truck.

Declaring an entire vehicle junk because of an under-warranty failure seems a bit narrow-minded to me. Everything breaks, even the most reliable designs.

18000 miles in 5 months? so 3600 a month. Seems like some excessive driving, but maybe I'm too much of a homebody.
And I agree with the others, it's so much more enjoyable to hear some one rant about the trucks we love, when they use the English language correctly.

Sorry to hear about your truck. I am completely dumbfounded why Ford is unable to, or why they refuse to make the effort to make a bullet proof transmission. Decade after decade I hear about transmission failures. How????

Nothing with moving parts is bullet proof. Hell, if a company sold 800,000 anvils a year there would still be people who found a way to break them.
Anyone remember the new cars and trucks of the late 70s and early 80s? There's a reason so few are around. I think things are much better these days.

I participate in a handful of vehicle forums, and have for just about every vehicle I've owned. I've seen transmission and engine failures in all of them, including late model Hondas and Toyotas. The 6R80 has been fitted to one of the most popular vehicles in the world for almost seven years. There are quite literally millions of them on the road, and that's not counting all the BMWs on the road using the same ZF-designed transmission. It's downright rare to hear of a failure here on FTE, and I can't remember reading of one on the other two F150 forums I'm part of.
You've been our resident pessimist for awhile now, so this is no surprise. I'm not gonna change your mind, but I think it's worthwhile to put your negativity into perspective.
