Well, I will say that I am really disappointed in my new F-150.

As in VERY disappointed.

However, to Ford's credit, they have stood behind it to the tune of
$13,000 worth of new drive train - engine, transmission, drive shaft,
transfer case and rear end. Plus new cat converters.

Good grief. I rest my case.

The truck just doesn't have the power to properly tow my boat - can't
figure it out. Power on the original engine was down - couldn't
figure out why. So they replaced the entire drive train and changed
the rear end ratio. It improved, but not significantly.

Oddly, the exact same package in the FX4 edition, tows just fine.

Go figure.
