Many real-world owners have experienced the following issues with their FordF-150s:

Several owners have complained about shifting, slippage, and other gearbox troubles, especially with older vehicles.

Issues with the electrical system, including the battery, alternator, and other components, have been noted by multiple owners.

Misfires, oil leaks, and other technical faults have been reported by some owners as problems with the engine.

Note that certain problems may be more prevalent in certain Ford F-150 model years or body styles, and are by no means indicative of the quality of the F-150 as a whole.

[{"selector":"#anim-13e6c6c1-3d76-4be6-863d-0c7755e147fb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e426f011-5f0c-44fd-9e08-a42c22772cd4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2d20808a-f20e-4441-9ead-a727537a0d72","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.27243%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Nevertheless, these issues can be avoided or lessened with routine maintenance and servicing.
