Sounds like BS stirred up by some small time landscaping company.... my company has bought tens of thousands of trucks from Ford of those same model years and hasn't had the issue this company is complaining of.

maybe they are talking about this recall: http://www.christianpost.com/news/fo...-trucks-53188/ 1.1 million trucks recalled for a gas tank strap.

edit: also went to the companies website and their landscaping looks like amateur work... not what i would post as examples of the best i had to offer.

Where's the proof? I don't believe anything without hard, circumstantial evidence (might be why I work in Quality Control) and this article completely LACKS said evidence. I could write an article that "allegedly" claims the CEO of Ford is sleeping with Hookers on company payroll. Doesn't mean its true.

My girlfriend just bought a F150 Lariat 4X4 and the shudder isnt all that bad. Go buy a beefed up driveline and I bet it will solve 50% of the so called shudder. F150 is a truck most of the engineering behind them is to make them dependable and hard working for towing and hauling. If you want a luxury ride with no other use than looking good go buy a Caddy
