Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

I blame marketing. They set expectations. When expectations and reality don't jive... BUSTED

it's weird, I come from a lifetime of owning Jeeps which are notorious for poor reliability. That said in around 17 Jeeps owned since I was 16 (35 years or so) I've only had 2-3 that had any serious problems. I'm hard on off-road vehicles. I currently have a 2018 JL Rubicon with 130K miles on it that has seen a huge amount of off-road miles in Moab, SW Colorado, NM and Texas. Only issue I've ever had with it is an AC issue and an OBD2 Port issue that was caused by a technician. My 22 Gen 3 Raptor though seems to have just random electronic issues that sometimes occur once never to be seen again. It's also probably spent more time in the shop than all 17 or so Jeeps I've owned in 35 years..lol. Don't get me wrong, I love the truck, but I wish they would get their shit together. I've taken the Raptor to Colorado and Moab and had issues in both places that luckily were resolved by soft reboots, but I'd never go alone anywhere remote in my Raptor. My Jeep even with 130K miles on it, I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere.

so 2-ish problems out of 17 jeeps is ~12% of your jeeps had serious problems.

And the Rap has random electronic issues.

Jeep over a gen2or3 maybe but not gen1 . Once the government got involved with truck mileage requirements it all went downhill for reliability in every vehicle. I’m older than google and remember the rubicon release. At that point jeep wranglers went from a vehicle made for wrenching to a designer handbag with multiple random issues and expense. Not to mention the handling and response and balance (WTF are you smoking?)ps hugs and kisses

funny how all the 6.2’s failing seem to get ignored. someone just reported a busted valve spring at ~40k miles.

is that akin to my mattress popping a spring after rough horizontal chit-chat with @Oldfart 's goats?
