This happened to you and I and we didn't even know it. My 1985 F-250 will be running on this ranch in 2075. My 2017 F-450 won't make it to 2040. One of these trucks I can fix with a wrench and a weekend. The other one requires a dealer, a laptop, and a prayer. This is the story of planned obsolescence — how the most sophisticated trucks ever built are also the most fragile, the most dependent, and the most disposable. Ford set an all-time record in 2025 with 153 recalls. Nearly half of all recalled vehicles last year were recalled for software failures. And your wiring? Rodents are eating it. This isn't an accident. This is how ownership ends.
