New guy here.

Hello. I'm new here. I've owned 9 trucks in my life, 5 of them Fords. Just got rid of a 2017 Silverado that was....umm...the worst truck I ever owned. Now driving a 2020 F150 XLT, 5.0L V8. I've only had it a little over a week but so far loving it with a few minor exceptions.

Well...several things as a matter of fact. I didn't like the way it dropped from 8 cylinders down to 4. I didn't know it did that until after I had bought it. I also didn't like the way it shifted. Very very rough shifting. It was also a rough riding truck, not near as smooth as this F150. Couple all that together with some electrical problems that GM couldn't seem to figure out and I just had to let my first and last bowtie go and come home to Ford.

It's too bad GM has lost sight of their core business.

Welcome aboard!
