New Fords Are Junk

[BigThicketBoy]

I’ll never buy one. We take so many reports for break ins and thefts of these models. It’s not if. It’s when. Not for me.

Break ins with a Ford and broke down with everything else

They make a nice shiny pile when they catch fire.

After it cools then you can take the pile of shiny stuff to c&d scrap metal and trade it for 2 dollar bills!!!!

Just the new ones?

People say this like it’s a bad thing. If my truck actually does catch fire then I’d prefer it burn completely down. I don’t want insurance to be able to “fix” it then give me back a fire trap. Maybe I’m in the minority there, but I don’t want a previously flamed truck.

Nope, you're not in the minority, because I feel the same way.

This man gets it.

I’ll take this argument up with anyone who says that the aluminum isn’t as good as the steel fenders. I had my truck for two weeks when a hailstorm (true golf ball size hail) came on suddenly. My wife’s Tahoe was parked right next to my truck, both damaged severely...but the dents on my truck weren’t as deep as the ones on her Tahoe. It was at that moment that I quit buying into the tin can hype.

What's up with the creepy looking eyes in the back door window???

Man I didn't even notice that, then you got me all spooked out LOL!

Are you thinking that elk would’ve bounced off a Chevy or Toyota?

I dont think many vehicles with any fire damage get repaired. I have worked many vehicle fires and I can't imagine any getting fixed. Even ones with small interior fires.

My comment was about a client who burned his new Ford into a puddle with fireworks.

2016 was the first new body style for the F250/350 and they are aluminum. My buddy is a contractor and hates his because of tool and cargo dents all over it. I have a 15’ f250 and there is a huge difference in how solid they are. The aluminum ones sure are pretty tho

I absolutely love mine. I've had just about every different F350 model built in the last 30 years and this is my favorite. I haul crap in the bed all the time and haven't had any issues with it getting too beat up....all my beds eventually look beat up but it's a truck and it's supposed to get beat up. My last truck was a 2012 and the only reason I traded it in was because some of my employees got new trucks and I figured if I was buying someone the latest and greatest, then I should buy myself one too. Never regretted it.

My f250 aluminum bed. Had 6k miles when I got a hole ripped in it about 8”s Long. Told me they would have change the whole bed floor or whatever you call it because no one has yet figured out how to weld the cheap aluminum up, they ended up patching it with a piece of aluminum, rivets and some kind of glue. Then put a bed liner over it so I couldn’t see it. Steel bed wouldn’t have done it. And if by chance it did, any weld shop I. The US. Could fix it and make it look new.
