The vehicle I am commenting on is my 2018 F-150 Lariat 4-door short bed 4x4 w/ 2.7 gas and 10-speed tranny. Engine is very peppy- at least for me with GMC Suburban 4-speeds as my most recent experience. Shortly after buying this thing, the tranny started acting up (within 20k miles). The stealership (yes, STEALERSHIP) tried to blow it off using classic "we can't replicate the problem" nonsense. I insisted they drain the fluid, and low and behold chunks of black rubber were found in the fluid. So they replaced the valve bodies or something similar and it worked better, for a while. Still having many clunking/clanging sounds when first shifting into drive/reverse when engine is cold. Also has a strange habit of feeling like I got hit straight on by a cruise missile when letting off the gas at 75 and having it down shift like 3 gears, all on it's own. Hold on tight to that coffee! When I explained that unpleasantry to the stealership service manager at Capitol Ford/Santa Fe he asked me "what gear it was in" before it did the downshift thingy - seriously??? I would hope gear #10, right??? But the absolute worst part of the truck is "almost everything else"!!!! The touch screen console control panel is horribly non/delayed-responsive and incredibly frustrating. That issue got really bad just after warranty on it expired. And lots of other issues with window switches not working, water in tail lights, tons of squeaks/rattles/nuisance noises, tailgate step cover flies off- stuff like that to make a $55k purchase a very unpleasant memory.

The truck seems like the engineering is an after thought. They "fixed"my actuators but now I have streaks underneath the handles the tailgate latch is iffy. The interior above glove compartment warped ,and the auto stop feature isn't what they made it sound.I seriously think no one review s changes ,n profit is number one .
Smoking, in a bad way!

I had a 2018 by, EcoBoost and had nothing but problems. A big cloud of black smoke came out of the tailpipe, at first, once a week, then every other day. I had it into the shop 6 times, covered under warranty of course. I then took it to my independent mechanic and told me to trade it in. I went back to a Silverado as I previously had one for 12 years and no problems.

I had an 18 month run with a 2018 F150 reg cab short box XLT. Didn't drive truck a lot, was a project vehicle for myself. The good stuff: Overall exterior design, comfy seats for long road trips, brakes-big brakes that worked really good, the lovely 5.0l V8 awesome sound, performance and pretty good fuel economy. The bad: Build quality, so many gaps in body panel, paint quality terrible, had to get the windshield pulled and resealed because it was installed so bad from the factory it leaked, lack of rear antisway bar, headlight design caused poor lighting at night and what a job just to replace the bulbs. The 10 speed transmission: always shuddering, would randomly hold 1st gear to 3-4000 rpms and then hammer into 2nd gear, plastic oil pan started leaking at 5,000 miles. Chevy/GMC has the shift quality and shift points dialed in a lot better on their 10 speed. The really bad: the interior quality! Just no excuse for the poor fit and finish. I had 14 pieces of paper/towels/foam bits in the dash to stop or ease the amount of rattles and squeaks. They didn't bother to clean up the molding edges for a clean fit, they used very cheap fasteners in the door panels so they would visually shake going over bumps and the door pins are so small for the size of the door. The auto rolled windows would work maybe 10% of the time, technician couldn't figure out why. The center armrest cover was so poorly misaligned from the factory it wouldn't stay closed. Plastic oil pan on the engine was leaking upon arrival, was replaced and started to leak at 3,000 miles. Recalls and recalls on the recalls!
