If Ford (or any other manufacturer) wants to make a pile of cash all they need to do is produce a bare bones pickup truck. When I say bare bones I mean exactly that. Standard model is manual EVERYTHING from the windows to the transmission, single cab, rear wheel drive, 8ft bed. The only "fancy" feature included on the base model should be A/C. Headlghts, tail lights, and marker lights should be the bog-standard tech possible. Everything else should be optional extras.

All auto makers need to realize that many people can't afford 95% of the vehicles they make. They need to focus on more affordable and reliable vehicles that everyone can afford to buy. They should pay attention to how many 2022, and 2023 vehicles are still on the lots unsold. I have been looking for a decent used truck for several years, I might have thought about a new truck if they were more affordable. I have a chunk of money to put down on one but the payments will be more than my mortgage, and I already know that they will not last long before needing some type of repairs. Plus in the northeast there's a good chance of it rotting out about the same time you are making the last payment on it. I was hoping one of them would actually come through on the low cost truck, oh I mean a low cost truck available in the USA. Not just other places. The new ford, Fixing Our Recalls Daily!

Anyways, she got it and on the 4th day it just randomly shut off on her when driving. They reset the computer and called it good. At 26k miles there was a vibration in the front end, the tie rods needed to be replaced. Shortly thereafter, the CEL came on and it was the fuel vent solenoid valve, Ford did not cover it even thought the service manager said it was "a common problem". At around 52k miles the truck started shifting hard and it progressively got worse to where by 56k miles it would slam into 3rd gear really hard. So we warmed it up real good and drove to Toyota. My wife test drove a new 2022 Toyota Tundra. We signed the papers and and traded that pos truck in. The Tundra now has 40k miles on it and we haven't had a single issue since new. Ford is crap!
