I Believe it.
A friend has a 2020 ford f250, it's in the shop for something every other month, & the other months it's in the shop cause what they worked on the last month they didn't do right or still isn't fixed.
& yet, here I have my 33 year old Dodge pickup that hasn't had any breakdowns or had to go into a shop in over 2 years. I just do the regular maintenance stuff.

What I heard from the rumor mill is that later this year Ford will make a heated tailgate as standard equipment on the Ford pickups.
Due to popular demand, this will make it more comfortable to push them so frequently in the wintertime.

Yes and 33 year old Fords are about the same. The newer models from all auto makers are crap compared to the old models. Personally I would love to have a 65 Chevy pickup again. They had their issues but were so easy to work. Transmission linkage stuck, jump out and whack it with a hammer a time or two and off you go.
I have a 32 year old F150. Drove it yesterday. No problems in years. It did need a new starter but that was it. Simple. Cheap to fix. Fun to drive. Definitely isn’t cool though.
Cool is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I think a truck that is dependable and easy to work on is cool. You can always add a cool paint job and a kicking sound system.

Yeah, Ford trucks suck. Obviously that's why they've outsold all the other truck brands, and most cars, for the past 40 years.
