3rd F150 in a row and never again

This truck has left me on the road 4 times now the last time was 2nd tranny I had dealer installed. I have been left on the road for 2 throttle position sensors as well. I have an oil burning issue also it uses about a litre each week. I have had bullit proof f150's before like the 1976, the 1984, and the 1999. I had the most success with the 1984 and 1976. I am going to Toyota I think next time. I have 100 000 miles plus on the 2002 and once the lease is up it is outta here... The heated seats and mirrors do not work and never have. Many plastic interior pieces are broken or not working. The drivers side door locks broken too now.

Terrible Automatic Transmission

The transmission modulater is terrible. It hangs up in gears or just sits in a big dead spot and nothing changes. The dealer "pinged" the unit but other than that T.S. I had to accelerate quickly to complete a merge manuever and almost got hit because the transmission just refused to shift down quickly. Ford has had problems with this for years and there is no excuse for this. I'm getting rid of the truck.

misbuilt truck, shipped back to factory

My ford dealership rejected the truck from the factory. Misbuilt. Factory workers must have fallen asleep on the job the day my truck was made. A running board was missing, sunroof was misaligned, not to mention a couple other cockeyed trim pieces. Dealer said problem with the sunroof was the roof not the mechanism. The roof wasn't square! So the truck is being returned to the factory in Kansas City. Give the factory workers some coffee!

I recently just bought a 2002 Ford F1 50 super crew with the four-wheel-drive package I have had to Chevy's before I got this ford am really miss my Chevy's right now this ford as one of the worst vehicles I have ever had it's a great-looking truck and it is very comfortable to drive it but it breaks down a least once a week it's got a good bit of power in the pools very good but it is very Hard to work on tight squeezes everywhere you work this would definitely be the last Ford I ever bye List of things I have had break on me in the past two months the truck has 240,000 miles on it and I have had driveshafts snap on me I've had Motor mounts break on me I've had the rear differential started leaking all of a sudden I have had so many problems with the exhaust manifolds leaking I've had to replace the valve covers I've had to replace spark plugs in the coral packs and then I drove the truck today and for some reason the thing is shaking really bad I'm not really sure why it's doing it I think the four-wheel-drive might be fixing to lock up but don't know other than that I really recommend getting a Chevy or a Toyota I would stay for away from ford And what's crazy is when I bought this ford I bought it six hours away from where I live but I drove it for six hours straight pool one of my Chevys back on a car trailer and I didn't have any problems out of the Ford the minute I get home I've had breakdowns ever cents

Best for Domestics

2002 Ford F-150 4dr SuperCrew Lariat 4WD Styleside SB (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

My company take-home vehicle is a 2001 Ford Supercrew 4x4 Lariat, fully loaded including moon roof and offroad package. The ride, power, versatility and refinement makes my fully loaded 2001 Dodge Quadcab 4x4 SLTplus seem crude and cheaply built. GM has better engines (IMO) but build quality and materials are not up to Ford either and have <blah> styling (my 2000 Tahoe a testament to that).
