I have 46k on my xlt.
-foglight socket was replaced.
-tailgate had to be fixed. poped when opening. spring was forcing tailgate open instead of slowly dropping.
-right side of truck had speaker issue. sounded like loose connections. speakers would play at full volume, and cut in and out. ended up replacing radio.
All of these issues in my opinion aren't a big deal. The thing that drove me crazy was having to drive back and forth to the dealer because of their incompetence.
I had to go back even for the foglight socket! They never used heat shrink where they spliced in the new socket and left the wires hanging in front of the front tire.
With other issues with my sirius radio from the dealer who repaired my foglight, I decided to try another dealer when my tailgate gave me issues. I made my appointment and showed up on time. The douche service MANAGER told me to take the tailgate off and grease underneath the cap. hm. Well after that didn't work, I made another appointment(which then passed my 36kmi warranty) and they suggested I pay my deductible for the 100kmi warranty to actually fix what was wrong. After being an raging lunatic, they finally agreed to fix it without a deductible. I ended up having to bring the truck back a forth time for them to try again. So far, so good.
I then switched to another dealership, who diagnosed the stereo problem without fail..
Lets just say this is my last new vehicle.

I was very happy with my truck until yesterday this happened https://www.f150online.com/forums/20...cel-today.html
While I love the comfort and power, I hate the complexity of these things, time will tell if I ever buy a new vehicle again.
