Why I don't trust Ford After 19 years & 15 new Trucks. Gas VS Diesel Reliability & performance

What happens here

The presenter expresses significant dissatisfaction with the fuel economy and performance claims made by Ford and its dealers for diesel trucks, particularly those from 2015 and earlier. He recounts personal experiences of receiving significantly lower miles per gallon (around 9 MPG) than advertised (15-20 MPG) even without towing or plowing. He feels that Ford actively misled customers with these claims and offered only excuses when confronted.

Goal: Highlight issues with advertised fuel economy and performance of Ford diesel trucks.
