Damn I guess I'm very lucky / fortunate as my 23 has 18k miles with some moderate offroad driving with 0 issues

I'm a lifelong Ford guy, hate seeing all these issues
Probably best to stay off the forums then. Kinda like people that don't watch the news don't get carditis. :)

I dropped mine off for a 20,000 mile oil change, service called and informed me that I had a leaky front passenger side axle seal. They replaced it same day, and I retrieved that afternoon. So no down time for me, but be aware.

Are you able to purchase the clips separately? Mine broke as well an me I currently have it zip ties.
You have to buy the whole solenoid and wire. The clip is attached to the wire with, A F-in zip tie.
I think you can get something at AmazonI zip tied my wire to the shock body just beside where it should have been. Work for a couple weeks.

Please delete this post, or let me know if it’s already been covered and I’ll delete it. Sometimes my radio sounds distorted / staticky using Apple play, or Bluetooth. It also randomly adjusts balance to the left or right side only. All I have to do to fix it is turn the truck off, open the door, close the door, then restart it.

Sounds like you have a lot of gremlins. Try opening up your fuse panels and ensuring they are all properly seated. Some of the issues may just be nature of the beast as mine had similar electrical type problems.
not to attach, but how can you say that? you're OK with saying "its nature of the beast" after paying $90k+ for a truck? i get it there's nothing to compare it to, but ford will lose significant percentage of it's client the moment someone else comes out with something similar but more reliable. I mean shit Ram RHO prob aint it. Toyota is too chicken shit and play it safe to make one. Just because you're the only player in the market doesn't mean you're invincible. Just because its the only truck of its kind doesn't make it acceptable to sell beta product to clients. may be they're trying to be like google?

These reliability issues are not acceptable in any circumstance.
My CPO 22 has been in the shop for IPMA issues for past 3 weeks (dealer can't figure out what the issue is, replaced the camera 2 times). and I've only had it for 4. It had rear shock replaced (not under warranty), tailgate motor replaced. Spray bed liner pealing off. Rattles on the door panel (had to fix it myself).

unacceptable.

No attack at all. Mine has been long gone for a while if that tells you anything.
