I purchased this truck for $49,000. new to tow my horse trailer and is 
my only vehicle.  It has been a lemon since birth. It has 5 new fuel 
injectors, fuel pump, oil pump, gas pedal, exhaust system, ignition, 
heater unit and transmission. Is in shop right now because I was driving 
on the highway last Saturday and the drive shaft fell out at 75 mph.  On 
it's way out it took out the transfer case, transmission, gear box and 
trashed the front end. Also needs another heating unit. The truck on 
normal days runs for about a mile then dies in the middle of the road. 
It has been towed more than 9 times in 5 months. I have had 5 rental 
cars, some for weeks at a time. That I pay for. It has been to 5 
different Ford dealers all over the the state and other states. I have 
talked to 4 different Regional Reps. No one wants to talk to me. It does 
not qualify for the Lemon Law because the state I purchased it in 
considers them a commercial vehicle. This truck has lived in the Ford 
garages for than it's been out on the road. I have tried everything to 
try and get a phone call from anyone with a brain from Ford, no avail. I 
am at the end of my rope. Any creative ideas???
