Two months and 1000 miles, no issues except it often loses the built-in navigation screen and I have to re-click it. It is typically my default screen.

6 months, no problems.
Have had to cycle the FCP a couple times but nothing major.
PaaK has been great but now I have to get an electronic lock for the mandoor into my garage (Lightning too tall for old integral garage) And I never carry keys anymore.
I‘ve wanted to join the complaint parade but this isn’t my first truck nor my first new model vehicle.

No build or operational issues, the truck is awesome, HOWEVER my truck wasn't getting/installing PowerUp OTA updates which required a dealer visit and now the DTE update (22-PU1009-MIL-DTE) is trying to install daily and failing daily. So zero truck issues, but some ongoing software wrinkles.

My truck has been fine, just issues with FordPass that doesn't affect drivability.

Been better and less buggy than I expected.

4+ months and 4000 miles, overall the truck is fine, I would not consider the slowness of OTA's to be a big issue, it will come at some point, the FP app has it's issues but nothing I can't adapt around its weaknesses. So, I would say that I have had a good experience so far.
4 months and 4000 miles IS the issue. Truck needs more miles!

Truck has been rock solid for me as well...with the same time and mileage

2 months/2,000 miles. Only complaint is the iPhone gets kicked off CarPlay sometimes. And of course I'm in a charging desert, so it's a local vehicle only until Elon does what he said he was going to do.

Forums, and social media, attract complainers. People don't seek out places to say "all is well". You can't read a biased platform and draw conclusions.

When you have people on here complaining and they don’t even own the truck, you have to wonder about the utility of many of the threads.
I have gotten some great information on this forum but some of the complaints (usually accompanied with “come on, @Ford), have me muting threads.
