About 0.75 miles. The first time I applied the brakes it pulled hard to the curb, far beyond pad seating. I had it back at the dealer 3 times in the first 2 weeks to fix it. Really killed the novelty of my first brand new car

My 2020 had a bad restraint control module at around 800 miles. Was an easy fix, its just under the center console so the dealer grabbed one from another truck on the lot instead of waiting for Ford to ship one.

New transmission at 600 miles followed by a wiring harness as the A/C compressor wasn't turning on every time it needed to. Otherwise my 2020 F250 has been great!

I am still loving my truck but I did just have my first serious issue at 50k miles while on vacation. After much research, apparently a very common problem.
2017 6.7 cold side intercooler hose which is an unshielded rubber hose will split/burst right around 50k miles. Kind of sucks since it will leave your stranded unless you have a roll of duck tape on hand to patch and limp to repair shop. This hose material is not designed hold up under the heat. There are several better after market products you can order that are not much more than the $125 OEM replacement........but ordering one will obviously not get you down the road if stranded. Will be ordering a better hose soon.

2014 106,000 now. Truck has been at the dealer 3 times in the last month with def issues. Drove it there in derate the first time and by a flatbed the other two. This is my fifth diesel ford and my first with def system. Truck is still there and not fixed yet.
