20,000 mi report, on 2014 Ford F450
Report: No serious issues so far with my 2014 F450. Tires look near new. Service intervals 7500 miles. Getting about 12.7 "average mpg " per fill-up. Bought 100,000 mile zero deductable extended warranty. $3200.00 payable monthly no interest! FYI, This covers all injector parts and labor and too many items to list, and is transferable! Two return to dealer items. 1. Lights on rear Dually fenders not working. Found pinched wire. Fixed in hour by dealer, I.e. I did not buy from this dealer, no service issues, in fact they asked, for my future business. 2. Blinker relay replaced no charge. No other problems so far ! Using DEF @ rate of aprox 4500 miles. In tow mode, slightly less, as I have reported. Truck looks great and by miles I have logged, is my most favored daily driver of five vechicle stable! Has been the most "reliable vehicle", I ever owned, hope it stays that way! Lots of compliments on truck, looks "incredible towing Montana", feel good factor, very, very high!!! Lol

Me too. When Honda and Toyota come out with dual wheel trucks with diesels, it will be very interesting.

I have a friend wo has an old Chevy. The original engine went bad at only 700,000 miles he put in a new one the truck now has 1,000,010 miles on. He quit driving it until he can restore it. Think I will just stick with a good American truck. I kinda like my money staying on this side of the pond.

I'm looking for when Honda or Toyota start making fifth wheel trailers. Now, the U.S. manufacturers will be improving their quality. Until then it seems they learned nothing about what Japan did to the U.S. automakers in the 70s and 80s.

My 2011 6.7 just turned 30,000 problem free miles. Glad to hear those with higher mileage continue to have good experiences.

My F350 has almost 35,000 on it with no problems. How ever doing much better MPG 16.2 overall. In Alaska last summer 99.9% of the trucks were Fords driven by locals, that says something about there performance.

Ain't it great when a plan works out the way you feel it should. No headaches, no hassles and smooth sailing. Nice truck
