Our 2011 F150 has been very reliable, mechanically, but the audio wiring is broken in interesting ways. My buddy's older F150 has exactly the same issue. Otherwise it's been trouble free.
- Rooster61 5y agoI've noticed that in that era of Ford vehicles, including my own. I have a 2006 Mustang that mechanically has been a tank, but electrically has had multiple issues (it's on its 4th alternator). The audio deck has been similarly flakey. They may very well be better nowadays.
- ethbr0 5y agoFor any vehicle I generally ask myself two questions. #1 - How long has this engine design been used? #2 - How long has this transmission design been used? Accessory / electrical problems are annoying, but fixable. Powertrain problems are... the vehicle itself.

- ethbr0 5y ago10k to replace a wiring harness on a 350 seems... unreasonable. Even for dealership prices. That's rip-out-every-wire-in-the-truck labor totals. What were the symptoms?
- rhodozelia 5y agoYeah it was more than ‘a’ wiring harness. I think it was going in to limp mode or something
