2024 GT Prem. convert. 401A 10 speed auto
I was a ford engine tech for 32 years,
When I retired, I had to sleep at night, so I bought a 24 tacoma.
at 10k needed a transmission & TQ, they so it....
I pick it up, grease everywhere, get it home & new trans is leaking.
Go back in, they repair the leak, they completely drop the ball on the detail they promised me.
Take it back in cuz they didnt actually fix the leak, extension housing is still leaking cuz a bolt was drilled to far & sitting in trans fluid & its leaking past the threads.
take it back in for a second replacement trans & the detail they promised.
Its in the shop now.

Toyota techs are all bumper to bumper so theyre good at nothing.....

I'll gladly goo back to ford after this one, & thats the plan!
My last 4 daily drivers, going back to 2004 were are all Toyotas and NONE of them ever went back to the dealer for anything but an oil change and that was only 2 times I know of since I am a tech.

You know what I NEVER see in my shop for repair? Toyota products.

I have more Ford and GM stuff than we know what to do with,

I will admit Toyota has had problems, and they are having problems now, but unlike Ford they stand behind their product.

My Brother has a Honda model with a reputation for bad head gaskets. The other day Honda released a War & Peace sized bulletin that extended the warranty on the head gaskets of a whole bunch of their cars for 10 years/150K miles. His was on the list.

I could spend the rest of the day going thru design defects Ford has failed to address and left the owners on the hook for, starting with 5.4 Triton plugs up to current model cars with failing timing sets at less then 60K miles, but I won't

2025 Mustang GT
I love my 2025 GT. 21k miles of fun. Yes, the recalls are a PITA, but recall better than not fixing an issue. Getting ready to start a 2-3k mile trip. Will not be worried about recall issues!
