What kind of problems have you had so far with yours? What options does it have?

I have had mine 1 year as of last sept 11th.
So far I have had nothing. My odemeter started blinking and occasionally not coming on when I first started it a few months ago. Dealer told me it was common after 70,000 miles. Only known fix was to replace the instrument cluster for the tune of $600.
Came here and found that it was indeed common. One guy found that it was just a broken solder on the board. Gave a step by step with pictures. Took mine apart as he described and showed, sure enough same thing, in the same spot. So I aded some solder and it has been working fine since.

I am at 76,xxx mile now.
It is 2000, 5.4, XLT, Scab, 2wd

Edited to add:
I do have one undiagnosed problem right now. There is a click in the front passenger wheel area at low speed. Sounds like a nail in the tire but it does it in fields/mud too. But I can not get it to do it when it's jacked up. I think it is probably the ABS sensor because after a few month the ABS light is now on. Still rolling never liked ABS anyway, so everything is fine with me. (Except the ABS light is very annoying.)
