Poor Factory Quality Control

[Fawnbuster]

Say it ain't so. Quality control issues from a large American manufacturer. I'm shocked.

I remember when Fords motto on ads was "quality is job one"

You're showing your age! LOL

You all notice that the left side of your face doesn't match the right side?

PFQC...

Dammit Terry, now I have to go look in the mirror...
(...comes back to keyboard)
In all these years I never noticed one nostril is larger than the other.
I wonder if there is a recall on that, this could cause breathing issues... ?

... this could cause breathing issues... ?

Yes. For other people who gasp looking at your ghoulish appearance.

I get it Jeff, I was the same way. But, as I gotten more mature (re: older) I try to let those little things go.

Now Jim tell the real truth. In your old age you just can't see so well now and have now idea if it's straight or crooked. ?

So far, knock on wood (knocks on head) mines been perfect from the body panels to the drivetrain. For those with a crooked tailgate well that's your own damn fault because you know what would fix that!

I walk with a lean to the left now so looking at the truck everything looks straight ?

Noticed mine has the same bumper gap. Just regular old ford problems.

Exactly, it's an American Made vehicle built in the Covid Era. Plant shutdowns, New build moving into the same plant (Bronco) and supply chain issues abound.

Sorry I wasn’t born in the 40s... or even my parents for that matter.... I will try harder next time. Don’t worry I told my son he can’t buy Tesla...

Ignorance is no excuse in these days of a world of information at your fingertips.

Tailgates had chains up through 70's.

Stepside Tailgate Components
1957-72 F100 Shortbed
1957-72 F100 F250 Longbed

1972 F-100

Mine has the hood/fender problem and the bed is skewed on mine. A half inch gap on one side almost nothing on the other. Looks terrible. 1st oil change they'll be getting an earful.

When the tailgate had two chains it was a reinforced single layer of sheet metal.
When open, it didn't stop at horizontal without reattaching the chains either.
Of course you didn't need to be eight feet tall to set something in the box without opening the tailgate.

Stepsides... the good old days...

you know you are getting old if you remember the days of removing the rear bumper of your pickup. you could let the tailgate open all the way down after unhooking the chains. talk about easy load/unload.

Remember "There's a Ford in your future" or "Ford wants to be your car company"?!
