Well this escalated quickly.
Have had my issues with Ford and won't be buying any more new ones anytime soon after the issues we had with the wife's 2020 Edge ST and how Ford handled it/didn't handle the situation. Had great luck with most all of my other Ford vehicles and especially the Ford trucks I've owned. Our 2021 Raptor is over 60K miles and has had some of the common issues like exhaust rattle, shock clunk, but mostly a positive experience and such a fun truck. Replaced my wife's Edge with the last gen Toyota 4Runner just to get something known to last a long long time without any drama and to try something non-Ford.
I challenge anyone to look at all manufacturers and find one that doesn't have some issues.
I think end of the day many manufacturers are struggling with trying to lower cost and increase bells and whistles to the point that there's just so much crap that can go wrong. I've already convinced myself that my next truck will be something between my 2021 and my 1996 even if I have to put a little money into it.
