 I bought this truck used in 2012, and 2 months after purchase, the radiator started leaking.  Just thought it was bad luck so I purchased a new one, and the same thing happened after 1.5 years. The repair shop told me you cannot fix a leaking radiator, and it would have to be replaced.  I researched pricing at a Ford dealer thinking an OEM part would be better, but the part itself was almost triple the price of many parts stores!  I found 1-800-radiators, that gave a lifetime warranty with their radiators, it just had to be installed by the dealer with a special code that only the dealer can do. Okay.... did that.  This one lasted another 1.5 years. when I took it back to 1-800-radiators they said this is impossible for our radiator to go bad this quickly, and suggested something else must be happening.  I went back to the Ford Dealer and asked if my model had any know problems with the radiator.  They said they've never heard of any radiator issues with my model.  I couldn't figure out why my reserve tank kept being empty, but I saw no leaks...and could smell burning coolant. I even thought the tank itself had a hole, and the dealer still couldn't find a problem. After much research, I found a master mechanic at a run down shop who told me it was my thermostat housing. He explained the coolant was leaking as I was driving, and if I didn't detect it when I did, the head gasket would have blown, or it would have caused the top tank to bust, and another new radiator would be needed. I'm keeping an eye on it now, but I will never buy another Ford or trust the Ford service department to be honest with me. I pay more to have my car repaired at the dealer because I thought I'd get the best service.  Sooo wrong and disappointed.  I will do extensive research before buying another used car and it will NOT be a Ford.  The only good thing about my Eddie Bauer is the navigation and rear entertainment system.
