I'm really starting to like these little trucks.

If I could swing it I would be down at the dealership thinking hard about an LT extended cab 2WD with the 3.6L and luxury package as a daily whip...

1,300 miles on mine now. It's not lacking in power, it needs serious tuning in the ECM. The throttle response is very lazy and it does not want to kick down a gear on a hill. It will sit in high gear while you slowly push on the throttle but the speed and rpms continue to drop until it starts bucking and dieing. You get pissed and stab it to the floor, then it drops 2 or 3 gears and tears off. Very silly. Some sort shitty tune for maximum fleet wide fuel mileage. Starting to tick me off really, makes me want to drive around in M and manually shift it.
Same with the hill speed control, you are coasting down a hill and the next thing you know it drops 2 gears and revs to 3500 while your eyeballs kiss the windshield.

I started it this morning with the door open and was not impressed with how noisy it was on a cold start, complete with some sort of exhaust shield rattle or something like that coming from underneath.

Excessive drive train vibration too. You can feel the engine and drivetrain in it, not modern vehicle smooth.

This is the best looking mid size truck out there and I have no complaints about the suspension and handling, fit and finish. You know what they say about buying the first model year of a new vehicle, well it's true, let's hope they improve it in these areas.

I bought a 2010 Ford Fusion, really liked it very nice in all areas, I had it in for some warranty work and they gave me a 2009 Fusion to drive for a few days. That POS was like driving a 1972 Corolla. I could not believe the difference a year made.

I leased this one for 3 years and will make damn sure they refine this model properly before I buy another.
Update: 2,000 miles now. Some of these issues may have a lot to do with my driving habits. Going from a 6.2 Silverado to this and a supercharged Camaro I am very easy on the throttle when cruising and those vehicles responded. I am learning to be more aggressive with my right foot and it seems to help lots. Also, the low rpm lug issue only happens below 50k. It has always been perfect on the highway.

Also, Congrats Mike!
