Just wondering how many of these Found On Road Dead threads with all the problems and headaches are actually fictitious and posted by employee's of GMC, Chevy, and Ram? Is that a tactic they use? If it is there must be some on here. I know some of these threads make me second guess holding onto my truck, thinking my lifters are going to explode or trans fall out.

I know there can be real issues with Ford trucks, but I haven't had any at all other than a windshield wiper recall in the 4 years that I have owned my 2020 F350.

 

I haven't encountered any fake breakdowns on here.
Anyone that tried would be found out and called out pretty quickly.
The thing about these forums is that what you see here is when people have issues, not much about when they don't.

 

Its the internet, everyone is fabricating or just lying. Here is a story for you if you believe it or not...

So many trucks ive been around growing up as a kid because of my fathers business, and then I bought into the business at 18 years old. We have probably run over 70 trucks so far in my lifetime and not quick turnover either. We dont replace trucks on a schedule or just to get a write-off. Trucks stay around to pretty significant mileage, 200, 300, 400, sometimes 500k. We've had all major brands and up to 17 trucks in the fleet at one point. I can list the amount of actual problem trucks from memory alone since I was 13 and started paying attention. Thats how few significant failures we've actually had. Its a short list for 70+ trucks.

With that being said though our Ford trucks from the last 10 years have had some actual failures that top my list for the whole fleet. We wrote off the 6.7L after having two engine failures, two cp4 failures, and plenty of annoying electrical and mechanical issues enough to drive you crazy in the morning or having to recover the truck from the roadside because its in reduced power mode with a load in the box or trailer in tow. New 7.3L has already failed on us once, and both my 100 series transmissions in the F250s are clunky and buck.

Our fleet became mostly ford over the years because the 6.8 and 6.2 with either the 5R110 or 6R140 was so damn reliable but these newer Fords are having us looking to Ram or GM again.

Just kidding im a GM enemy agent.
