    My dad was a mechanic. Fords kept our family fed. He once had 3 explorers side by side in his bays waiting for the same major engine to come in.
  • @OnlyHuman2.0
    I got me a beat 99 camry with 260k miles on the clock. Paid $1300 5 years ago. Reliable and comfortable. Just because you paid over $50k for a vehicle doesn't mean it's worth it.
  • @normanclarin6668
    I used to be a loyal Ford and Lincoln guy can't afford the problem's and down time had to switch to Toyota and Lexus very satisfied not looking back!
  • @bliatay
    My girlfriend's 2019 F-150 3.0 diesel with the 10 speed. The torque converter just failed at 44k. The guy at the Ford service said "yeah its a common issue and they are backed up in the transmission service due to that exact issue." Getting rid of it once warranty work is done.
  • @visualverbs
    I had a 2017 Ford Edge, with the 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 engine. I got rid of it after Scotty told us about the built-in water pump that works off of the timing chain, at the top end of the engine. Haven't regretted it ever.

    So I wanted the Lincoln experience and leased a 2020 Corsair with nearly every option available. This was from new. About four months into the lease and probably less than 5k miles the computers started giving numerous system failure warnings. They were all for safety systems and I told the dealer to come get it as I did not trust the thing to drive it with all those safety features nonfunctional. Note that these failures were all intermittent. A week later the dealer told me they did not recognise any of the error codes and had to contact Ford about it. Turns out that Ford didn't even know what was happening. Eventually, someone figured out that a sensor housing somewhere was cracked and took on water which caused shorting and that confused the car's computers. So the sensor was replaced (after ordering the replacement twice because someone screwed up the order) and things started working normally....not really. In my opinion, the computers were somehow damaged and some of the errors resurfaced but very intermittently. Fortunately, I was able to get out of the lease without any $ out of my pocket. I called it brain damage and am satisfied with having had the Lincoln experience. It was a really nice car, drove very well and so smooth. No, I will not go back to Ford products.
  • To anyone watching this with the 10 speed here’s some advice. If you let a few people drive your car/ truck. The computer learns how you drive and wants to store how you drive so the car knows who’s driving. I bought an f150 2020 used with 50k miles and the transmission would occasionally kick like a horse. I cleared all the drivers with a scan tool and it hasn’t kicked ever since. It’s been over 8 months without a kivk
  • I heard that Ford got so cheap and they've got the rewiring so tight that any kind of movement makes the wires break at the harnesses and causes all of those problems. So I guess they saved 50 cents with the quarter of an inch of wiring. And that's causing a lot of the problems with the Fords and of course, the build quality with water intrusion.
  • @guestguest3715
    Back when I was working on cars you never heard of a differential going bad. It just never happened. You would get the occasional GM in for rebuild but even that was rare. Only if the owner beat on it.
  • @bobchannell3553
    Ford shouldn't say quality is job one. They should say they are number one in recalls.
  • @griffinc002able
    1994 Bronco 351 4X4 with 345K- no rebuild. Reliable, comfortable, easy to work on and tough as nails. Ford doesn't make anything remotely comparable these days.
  • @callmehgoku6484
    I aspire to one day be a great mechanic like Scotty. This dude really knows his stuff
  • @sendo427
    I hate that start /stop crap too. I remember the first time I felt it I thought I had broke the car and I was driving my aunties Audi so I was freaking out.
  • They should had made the 5.0 302 V8 on the expedition.. i don't buy anything full-size that is not a V8. A full-size vehicle has to have a V8 no exceptions...
  • @shawnmason5290
    I started watching Ford Tech Malco a few years ago when I had my 2010 F150 that I took much pride in. I realized that the problems that I was experiencing were known by Ford and they could give a damn. Also in watching Ford tech Malco I realize what could be coming and I bailed and got a 2020 tundra that I’m very happy with. When I make a comment like this here on YouTube, all of the guys who cannot afford or don’t have the sense to spend their money wisely, bombard me, whatever. My tundra pre-turbo, pre-hybrid 2020 is a great truck.
  • 2017 4 runner. Moved cross country twice towing. Lifetime Half highway, half hard trial miles. Besides the forged wheels and pedal commander when I got when I bought it , just oil changes and tires expenses. Sure bad milage but LT tires , forged wheels on a great platform. Drive something you can be confident it won’t fail you.
  • @zackmax7184
    I had a 1998 Expedition that had the 5.4 liter Engine that liked to blow Spark Plugs. I don't drive anymore and I can't walk very Good now, but I still enjoy Your Videos.

    Scotty is definitely my go to YouTuber when I need info for vehicles.
