We never bought any 2.7, they only got the F-150 on tender in 2023... I would say none of them are old enough.

We have had issues with 2 of them in Williams Lake that won't start, like completely dead as if the battery isn't even connected and they were towed to Ford for diagnosis... 3 different dealerships now and they can't figure it out. 1 of them the problem just wen away and hasn't come back but the other one is intermittent and the only way they can fix it is by slamming the hood really hard lol... lends one to believe that it's faulty wiring somewhere, but no luck with it yet.

Understandably the guys are afraid to drive them out into the bush for fear it will randomly not start, so they've been a bit of a disappointment that way. We have 8 other ones though that have been fine. I would say from my end I notice that with the heavy feet of drivers who probably operate under the "It's not MY car" mentality that the mileage is worse than the 5.0 ironically... they drive too aggressively for the hybrid motor to operate on its own and the turbos run so rich under boost.

I'm done with that place in a week though, they won't let me work remote, so good luck to them haha!! I'll tell the guys to prep for a new tranny lolol

I'm going to be funemployed for awhile weeee
