lets pay 35k 4 a truck with a plastic ****fter

i am very dissapointed with ford and the dealership where i bought my ****ty truck. the chrome cap on top of my shifter broke off the other day because it is secured with 3 (not 4) plastic stud/clip things. i went to the dealership and they said it was damage, and not covered under warranty. i wanted to tell the owner of the dealership to insert the truck in his rear end. the worst part is, i cant even buy the f'ing cap without buying the whole shifter. what is this miserable world coming to? EVERY F'ING THING I LOOK AT IS MADE FROM CHEAP CHINESE PLASTIC! i have a long list of things that are wrong with my truck, including power windows that need a push to get to the top, rear passenger door that has to be slammed open and closed, clunks, rattles that drive me up the F'ing wall! the truck is less than a year old and with brand new tires it drives like its got cement in the tires. when i hit bumps the truck almost goes sideways. should i go on?

I just don't know what to think about posts like this when my personal experience with the truck is the exact OPPOSITE of something like yours.. You sure you got a F150 right???

Regardless, it sounds like you really Do need to let some Air out of your tires... try 36psi.

A very, very small dab of Elmers Ultimate glue will fix it. The problem is it will never come off!!!!

Both you and TritonXLT MUST have had your trucks built on a Monday, when all the workers were still hungover from the weekend!

Worse yet, the Friday after St. Patty's Day! (that reminds me, I need to take a vacation day Friday for the "Irish Flue". )
