1.5 years of ownership, 28 k miles

-flat black exhaust tips started coming off at like 10k miles, completely gone on the passenger side now.
-red stripe on steering wheel wearing like shit
-gloss black b pillars scratched up after the first wash, toast after a few washes, they are wrapped now cause they were that bad
-paint sucks balls and scratches easily
-tires toast after 26k miles
-leaky oil pan from day 1


This bitch is disposable

I've owned mine the same length of time. Mine is been perfect and I have none of the issues you discuss. It sounds like you have a POS one. I would probably recommend selling it

Im pretty surprised that no one else has mentioned the exhaust tips, mine must have been poorly coated.

The oil pan and B-pillars are pretty well known issues.

I guess mine isn't a pavement princess, but still disappointing

If it makes you feel any better, the glossy plastic exterior B-Pillar on my Mercedes scratched after the first wash too. Glossy black plastic exterior trims have no business on cars/trucks. Supposedly, you can polish it out but I’ve just left it. It’s a trend that Tesla started.

yeah, seems like a soft plastic the consistency of a bluray disc!

I got mine muddy and was washing it off with the pressure washer and the black on the passengers side exhaust tip came right off, I then hit the drivers side
With everything I had hoping to at least make them match but it wouldn’t come off.

That's really weird about the paint and finish and the exhaust tips. I take mine to the drive-through car wash regularly and the Finish is still near-perfect .Maybe quality control issues during the painting process???

I agree about the A Pillars what a joke literally scratched to hell after first wash.... I also think this truck makes lots of noises.... squeaks and clunks which are annoying on a truck that is 1 year old.

And this is why Ford switched back to the metal oil pan.
