Thanks. Appreciate the kind post and not implying I am some troll making crap up. I am a glutton for punishment and will probably just get a ‘21. Only thing I will say is whatever has happened to my cam phasers wasnt benign both times. Check engine light, limp mode and dealer said timing...

List of threads with same problems others have had since I lack credibility, lol! https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/interior-and-exterior-trim.62045/ https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/sunroof-broke-this-morning.77226/ https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/no-rear-ac.61821/...

yeah, ball peen hammers. Sometimes sledge.

Oh look, more insults. Can you post my quote where i said ford aluminum is week? No, because all i said is aluminum is weaker than steel. It is. Then the alloy discussion started.

I said steel is stronger than aluminum. It is. The other thing is, most of what I posted is not unique to me. Cam phasers/vct, know issue. Rear ac, other compaints here in this very forum. Dings, search the f150 forums. Sunroof, known issue. Trim paint, other complaints in this forum...

I never backtracked. I am discussing issues I have had and you are still name calling. The wavy panels on the Raptor I dont see on our other vehicles. Cant comment on if deflection relates to strength but would certainly be related to panel thickness and/or support. I have a basic...

My anecdotal experience is the truck dents and dings WAY easier than any vehicle I have ever had. Even just a finger test the door panel deflects way easier and more than our other vehicles. There is nothing anecdotal about the know cam phaser issue. Again, you claim the issues are...

Have to laugh at “old ford steel” and “new ford aluminum”. I will concede they probably have alloys stronger than steel but i stand by their body panels get door dings easy. Go walk around a Ford dealership, all the trucks have dings everywhere. Even brand new, the panels have a slightly wavy...

Aluminum is not stronger than steel. Nothing to debate, these are physical properties of metal. If you are saying it is stronger per unit weight, sure. But the body on these trucks is paper thin to save weight. If ford tech knows so much, he should know the cam phaser is a MAJOR issue. Hence...

It appears YOU have no idea what you are talking about. The cam phasers can fail not just rattle. My cam phasers were replaced twice. Not just for rattle but failure resulting in timing issue and check engine light. This was not just the tsb for updated programming to help with the rattle...

I had an incorrect description of ONE item of 20. That is the cam solenoid wire and cam position sensor not a solenoid position sensor. Nothing made up. It is a logical fallacy to claim the entire post is BS because of a factual error in a single description but nice try anyways. Go back to...

To me, the transmission wonders and I notice it more than other autos. Never quite in the right gear or very smooth. Maybe its programming. Reminds of the early smg transmission, just a bit clunky for an auto. Put in a manual option and we would all be happy!

You can minimize some of the items if you want. Some are gripes or maybe just relevant to my me. Regardless, having cam phaser replaced twice and a cam solenoid is not a ridiculous complaint. That is weeks in the shop. Feel free to go elsewhere, nobody forcing you to respond. Go on...

Good to hear. My sunroof would get stuck closed. '21 in amb with the 37 package looks pretty sweet if I can get my dealer to find one!

Hostile a bit or just sensitive about your truck? Let me address you comments. The rear AC just doesn't cool very quick in the heat of summer. Its a common complaint I have heard from other owners and passengers. Not a deal breaker but annoying. The new Bronco is the same. The transmission...

Love to see pics of the V70r! Sweet rides. Tempted to trade the '18 for a '21 and cross my fingers. Not really many other daily drivers I am interested in.

Luck of the draw I suppose. What's really crazy is the wife drives Rovers and they have been rock solid in comparison despite their reputation.

Nah, not getting a trx. Dodge probably has more issues, lol. Plus the mpg. Maybe should have got a gen1. But to vent yes!

Okay, so maybe this is a bit stirring the pot but I honestly think Ford has made a hunk of junk. Issues since purchased new '18: 1. Cam phaser repair #1 2. Cam phaser solenoid replacement 3. Cam phaser repair #2 4. Sunroof replacement 5. Rear door handle falling off 6. Front interior door panel...

I get your point and certainly their is some media hysteria. Fortunately, I dont know anyone who has been attacked by a shark, let alone killed. I do know people that have died of Covid, including healthy in their 40s. I also have never seen an icu with 50 shark attack victims intubated, lol...

You guys are funny as hell! I admit it may be a bit overly cautious but was planning an 18 hr drive to after picking it up. I know the numbers are inflated but there are still cases of young, healthy adults dying of the crap. Its real, unfortunately I see it everyday.

Yeah not sure I trust the Lysol to kill much of anything. Texas heat probably much more effective.

Hilarious! Maybe techs went to lunch in the loaner with that old whore. Glad I didn't ask for a loaner.

Yeah, I thought about that. Even maybe a couple days just to be sure. Still would be nice for a chemical clean as well.

Just wondering what others experiences are with dealer sanitizing their vehicles after service in wake of Covid. I took my Raptor in for repair of the cam phaser issue. Unfortunately, the mechanic became sick with Covid after disassembling the truck. Poor guy. Still waiting for it to be put...
