Every F150 I looked at before I bought my Ram had build issues, even my friend that was with me when I was shopping pointed some out. While they can always be fixed it doesn't leave the best impression.firecadet613 said:Ford is pushing out the trucks as quick as they can - quantity over quality - from what I hear a truck a minute rolls of the line at Dearborn and Kansas City. From this and other recalls that shouldn't have to happen - it is what it is. Take a close look at trucks on your local dealers lot, there are build issues that most wouldn't notice - but a car or truck guy would.
I've been pleased with both of mine. A bit worried before my ordered truck arrived if it would have any build issues - but it arrived flawless.
Amen to that! And I'd be singing a different tune if I had a moonroof that really leaked, door panels not aligned, or IWE (4x4 staying engaged) issues. I've only been locked out of my truck in the cold - with inoperative door latches when it's a certain temp outside!Jared Balfour said:Every F150 I looked at before I bought my Ram had build issues, even my friend that was with me when I was shopping pointed some out.

The IWE issues have been going on since 04, I had to change out a couple hubs on my friends old truck. To be fair though I have 2 friends with 2016 F150s and outside of a few initial build quality issues both trucks have been flawless.firecadet613 said:Amen to that!

Thankfully I haven't had the IWE problem. Sounds like a lot of the issues are just due to parts suppliers QC or Fords QC on the parts suppliers. I've had the recall done on the doors, twice. Both times it's warmed up afterwards so all is well.Jared Balfour said:The IWE issues have been going on since 04, I had to change out a couple hubs on my friends old truck.

I have heard about the door latch problem, I also heard that people that have had the recall done have still had the issue re occur so I'm not too sure where thats at.
I believe it was 250 per shift for a 750 daily total, six days a week.LOU.2 said:From what I read today, RAM has actually got 3 full time shifts working round the clock at the DT Plant - 350 units !
Now I can't recall if that was total or per shift ?
