[QUOTE="pwrshft99, post: 16413941, member: 73755"] Very frustrating being a Ford guy at times. 97-04 F150 are my favorite body style, won't touch them because they are short on power and rust if you look at them funny. I am a fan of the 04+ refresh, but will not take the chance on a 100k mile 3V. Newer than that, trucks are still pretty pricey. An affordable Coyote will have some real mileage and the timing chain/water pump issues on the 3.5 Ecoboost have turned me off. Really like the SHO Taurus but same 3.5 issues, along with throttle body failures and PTUs that fail randomly. The Fusion Sport was going to be what I went with but still hesitant. The 2.7 seems fun but there were more than a couple exploded 2017s from what I read. It still has a PTU with undersized fluid capacity. These issues, along with the Focus ST head gasket issue and Ford purposely shipping defective transmissions really have me second guessing if I want a car payment again. [/QUOTE]
