I just bought a 2018 F250 within 4 weeks and I have 3 cracks in my windshield! I have owned a Tundra for 5 years and not 1 crack. Just wondering if there are more out there that have this issue? The complaints have been sent to Ford, so we'll see what happens.
It's my 3rd ford truck and they all cracked up after a couples of weeks. My current f350 literally had one small rock and it broke the windshield. I love my truck but those windshield are junk
I cracked mine two weeks after picking up my truck. I ran with a cracked windshield for 3 months waiting for winter sanderst\ to stop spreading grit on the roads before I got it replaced
Hopefully I won't tempt the windshield gods, but ... six months and 19,000 miles with no cracks at all. I've had at least 2 or 3 impacts (rocks) that I can recall, but the windshield has held up.
With my past ~12 new vehicles in the past 12 years, it seems like I was replacing them about once every 6 months (sometimes more). Heck, I had one get cracked by a rock on the drive home from picking it up brand new!

I have the original windshield in my trucks, they all have cracks but none are directly obstructing the driver's view..... I'm thinking one day I'll get a group discount for doing three vehicles at ones.
Looking for some insight on my little dilemma today. I was loading a standard size 1 yard river rock 1 to 3 in my bed. After a few seconds of the rocks pouring into the bed, the back window blew out. I was able to verify that the operator did NOT hit the window with the machine and there were no rocks that bounced up and hit the window itself. I truly believe that the new aluminum body was not able to handle the wait and when it was contorted from the rock going into the bed it shattered. I have seen them advertise in commercials rocks being dumped into the bed all of that. I did not over fill the vehicle and the leaf springs were not pushed down all the way with the little yellow bumper touching the axel. Sorry, not exactly sure what all this is called. I was hoping that Ford would honor this and claim it as possible a defect on their end when it comes to this "new and improved" aluminum body!? Anyone have anything on this? Anyone ever heard of anyone having the same problem? I have pictures.

[knocks on wood]. I’ve had no cracks yet, but have had several chips that have been repaired. New windshields in general seem much more susceptible than I remember from my past. Across all brands. I’ve noticed this with late model Toyota products, Honda, Ford, Lexus and Porsche.
Great looking truck! What tires/lift are you running?

Rock landing on rock, one of them squirted out and hit the window.
No way the bed flexing is going to stress the cab. Unless the window was hardcore installed wonky. But good luck proving that one.

A window is simply not covered by the manufacturer. I had my sunroof explode outward when I was completely alone at night and no luck.
