The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since the 1948 model year. The F-Series is marketed as a range of full-sized pickup trucks positioned above the midsize Ranger but below the larger Super Duty in the Ford truck lineup. Alongside the F-150 (introduced in 1975), the F-Series also includes the Super Duty series (introduced in 1999), which includes the heavier-duty F-250 through F-450 pickups, F-450/F-550 chassis cabs, and F-600/F-650/F-750 Class 6–8 commercial trucks.

History

The F-Series was first introduced in 1948 as a replacement for a previous pickup model line based on car platforms.

The most popular version of the model line is the F-150 pickup truck, currently in its fourteenth generation (introduced for the 2021 model year). From 1953 to 1983, the entry-level F-Series pickup was the 1⁄2 ton F-100. Starting in 1984, the F-150 became the entry-level. The F-150 has a long-running high-performance off-road trim level introduced for 2010, the (SVT) Raptor currently consisting of three generations. Production of the F-150 SVT Raptor ended in 2014 and it was planned to be succeeded by a new F-150 Raptor, which is based on the thirteenth and fourteenth generation F-150.

The F-Series trucks have been developed into a wide range of design configurations. Alongside medium-duty trucks and "Big Job" conventional trucks (the forerunners of the Ford L-series), the model line has been marketed as a chassis-cab truck and a panel van (a predecessor of the Ford E-Series). The F-Series has served as the platform for various full-sized Ford SUVs, including the Ford Bronco, Ford Expedition/Lincoln Navigator, and Ford Excursion. The F-Series has been marketed by its three North American brands: by Mercury as the M-Series (in Canada from 1948 to 1968), and by Lincoln in the 2000s, as the Blackwood and the later Mark LT (2010s for the latter in Mexico only).

Since 1977, the F-Series has remained the best-selling pickup truck line in the United States; it has been the best-selling vehicle overall since 1981. The F-Series has been the best-selling truck in Canada for over fifty years. As of the 2018 model year, the F-Series generated $41 billion (~$49 billion in 2023) in annual revenue for Ford. By January 2022, the F-Series models have sold over 40 million units. Currently, Ford manufactures the F-Series in four facilities in the United States.

Common Ford Ford truck problems

Based on the complaints from owners of Ford trucks, here are some common problems with Ford F-Series trucks:

Misfires:
- Misfires in the engine can lead to a decline in performance, making it challenging to accelerate and haul loads. This issue can cause severe damage if left unaddressed. Possible causes include coil pack, throttle position sensor, cam phaser, fuel injectors, spark plugs, and wires. Internal mechanical issues may also contribute to misfires.
Rough Shifts:
- Transmission problems are not uncommon in Ford trucks, often manifesting as rough shifts between gears. Symptoms include jolts, delayed acceleration, or slipping. Low or dirty transmission fluid, vacuum issues, faulty sensors, or bad solenoids can lead to hard shifting. Addressing this promptly is crucial to prevent irreversible damage.
Electrical Gremlins:
- Despite Ford trucks' build quality, they are not immune to electrical issues, especially as vehicles become more technologically advanced. Problems range from engine start-up failures to malfunctioning accessories like windshield wipers. Diagnostic tests are essential to identify and resolve these electrical gremlins effectively.
Death Wobble:
- The "death wobble" is a common issue, particularly in Super-Duty models, but can occur in any vehicle. It is often linked to worn suspension parts like ball joints and control arms. Regular inspections are crucial to prevent this unsettling scenario, ensuring the vehicle remains safe and stable, especially when driving over bumps at speed.
Spark Plug Issues:
- Ford trucks, like the Ford Explorer V8, have experienced problems with spark plugs. In some cases, the spark plugs eject themselves from the engine, leading to engine misfires, unusual noises, and potential engine damage. Addressing this issue promptly is essential to prevent further complications and maintain the vehicle's performance.
Engine Block Heater Failure:
- Ford issued recalls for over 323,000 vehicles, including the F-150 lineup, due to a defective engine block heater. Improper installation of the power cord could cause it to fail, posing a risk of engine damage. This issue highlights the importance of addressing recalls promptly to ensure the vehicle's safety and functionality.

These common problems highlight the importance of regular maintenance, prompt repairs, and awareness of potential issues to ensure the longevity and performance of Ford trucks.

What is the most common problem with Ford trucks?

#1: Ignition Coil Failure Due To Spark Plug Gap

If the check engine light comes on, there's a good chance that an excessive spark plug gap has caused an ignition coil failure. This might also lead to sputtering or misfiring of the engine.

What year does the F-150 have engine problems?

If you want a F-150, but also want to avoid engine problems, then steer away from getting model years 2004-2008, 2010, and 2015-2017.

VIN: 1FMPU18L3XL
Components: STRUCTURE
Summary: RE: FORD MOTOR COMPANY TRUCK WINDSHIELDS NOT SEALED PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING IN A HARD RAIN, I HAVE A 99 FORD EXPEDITION AND IT SOMEHOW HAD WATER LEAK INTO THE FUSE PANEL SHORTING IT OUT, ALSO SHORTED OUT THE GEM AND THE PCM. THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL, SMOKE FROM DASH. THERE WERE NO FLAMES, HOWEVER SOMETHING WAS BURNING SOMEWHERE. TRUCK QUIT RUNNING. BROKE DOWN 165 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. FIRST WE TRIED A "NEW" BATTERY, TRIED JUMPING IT NOTHING WORKED. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER - LAKE FORD IN LEWISTOWN, PA. THEY SAY IT NEEDS A NEW FUSE PANEL, GEM, PCM OVER $800 AND THIS DOESN'T EVEN GUARANTEE A RUNNING VEHICLE. ALSO THEY SAY THAT EVEN IF THE VEHICLE DOES START THERE WILL BE NO AIRBAGS! OR RADIO (THEY WERE SHORTED INTERNALLY). THE SAFETY ISSUE I'D LIKE TO REPORT IS THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRUCK CUTS OUT INSTANTLY. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED APPROX. 6 MOS. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT . AGAIN DRIVING IN A HARD RAIN I WAS PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY I DIDN'T PULL ALL THE WAY OUT IN FRONT OF THE TRAFFIC BEFORE MY TRUCK JUST QUIT RUNNING. HAD TO PUSH IT OFF THE ROAD AND A JUMP GOT IT STARTED THIS TIME. AT THIS TIME I HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS. SINCE THEN I TALKED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THEY SAID FORD KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS AND THEY EVEN HAVE A NAME FOR IT - THEY CALL IT "WATER INTRUSION". I URGE YOU TO HAVE THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY PUT IN A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OUT THERE!. *NM
