FAQs

Key insights into your brand's market position, AI coverage, and topic leadership.

Why are Ford 10-speed transmissions so problematic?

Ford's 10-speed transmission (F-150, Mustang, Expedition 2017-2024) has harsh shifting, shuddering, hesitation, and premature failures at 30K-80K miles. Multiple class-action lawsuits allege design defects. Common complaints: transmission hunting for gears, hard downshifts, lurching, going into limp mode. Ford issued TSBs (technical service bulletins) and software updates, but problems persist. Replacement costs $5K-8K out of warranty. Ford co-developed transmission with GM, but Ford's calibration is worse. Many owners report 5-10 dealer visits for same issue with no permanent fix.

What's wrong with Chevy's lifter failures?

Chevy/GMC's 5.3L and 6.2L V8 engines (2014-2023 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban) have epidemic lifter failures at 40K-100K miles causing catastrophic engine damage. Symptoms: ticking noise, check engine light, loss of power, metal shavings in oil. Collapsed lifters damage camshaft requiring $5K-15K engine rebuild or replacement. GM's Dynamic Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) system is root cause. Class-action lawsuits ongoing. GM extended warranty to 10 years/150K miles on some vehicles after thousands of complaints. Lifter failure can destroy entire engine if not caught early.

Which is more reliable: Ford or Chevy trucks?

Both are equally unreliable compared to Toyota/Honda, but Ford slightly edges Chevy recently. Consumer Reports: Ford ranks 23rd, Chevy 21st out of 30 brands in reliability. Ford's main issue is transmissions; Chevy's is engines (more expensive to fix). F-150 has transmission problems but engine is solid. Silverado has engine lifter issues requiring $10K-15K repairs. Lesser of two evils: Ford's transmission can be replaced for $5K-8K; Chevy's engine failures cost double. Toyota Tundra destroys both in reliability but lower towing capacity and higher price.

Why do people still buy Ford and Chevy if they're unreliable?

Brand loyalty, towing capacity, American pride, and lack of alternatives in heavy-duty segment. F-150 and Silverado dominate truck market with best towing/payload, extensive dealer networks, aftermarket support, and financing deals. Many buyers don't research reliability or assume 'it won't happen to me.' Truck culture runs deep—families buy same brand for generations despite problems. Toyota Tundra more reliable but less capable for heavy towing. Ram has even worse reliability. Nissan Titan is joke. Ford/Chevy are bad but still best of bad options for serious truck needs.

Should you buy Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado?

F-150 if you can tolerate transmission issues (less expensive to fix than Chevy's engine problems). Silverado if you avoid 5.3L/6.2L V8 and get 3.0L Duramax diesel or older models (pre-2014) before lifter issues. Best advice: buy Toyota Tundra if you don't need max towing. If you need American truck: Ford F-150 with 3.5L EcoBoost (most reliable Ford engine) or Chevy Silverado with diesel. Avoid: Ford with 10-speed transmission (2017-2024), Chevy with DFM V8 (2014-2023). Buy extended warranty for either—you'll need it.
