You guys really get off on other peoples misery. I feel bad for anyone who has a brand new truck go down. I had high hopes for the Torqueshift. I think even with its few reliability problems. Its still pretty darn good.



Even if it had triple the failure rate. No one would admit it anyways.

The engines are unreliable, the transmissions are experiencing early failures... but Fords have large back seats and built-in brake controllers. That should be enough for anyone.

Mostly its blind loyalty and dodges ineptness. Dragging their feet for years on a club cab. They should be shot. Somethin like 70% of psd have a club. Catch a clue. Its what a diesel head needs. 6 full seats. The quad was a nice attempt but I as a 6 ft man would not want to be back there on the way to a job. Its big enough. But I want lincoln continental kinda backseat room.



Im truly dissapointed about the transmission failures. The unfortunate ones were saying. Yeah the engines no good but at least I have a good transmission. Guess not. Really got the first year blues on that one. Ford has to be greatful for the loyalty though. Thank you sir may I have another. Gotta love em for that.



Quit pickin on them poor ford guys. Yeah they screwed up. But its not nice to rub it in. I know theyve given you a hard time for years about your transmission. Just remember. He who laughs last. Laughs the loudest. I just smiled whenever they tried to rile me. Never got to me. I loved my trucks. They served me well.

Not picking at all......

just amazed that folks are so loyal with all that's going on-----I mean I realise that if you buy one you're caught as they may buy it back but aren't you stuck with another one which may or may nor be an improvement - I mean do they ever give you your $$$$$$ back?????

They have that choice.
