The complexity of the issues these new space shuttles on wheels have, are sometimes more than the under-trained techs in stealerships can handle. At least not in the time they are allowed to spend on any one vehicle. They only have a few specialists at most in each shop. So they shoot parts cannons at your truck, one part at a time, and let you figure out if it's fixed or not. Then you come back in, every time the parts cannon misses the mark. Some fun. Not worth the premium price for a new model with bugs to me.
The owner of the Ford dealer is a long time friend of ours and we have bought at least 30 vehicles from them. They are outstanding and always do anything for us. The LR dealer is in Tulsa a hundred miles away. I know them, too, but not as well as these guys.

I haven’t had awful experience with new Fords, however. Much of the Bronco was proved in the new Ranger.

I know of Ford dealers that will bend over backwards for people (they have to with some of the crap they've made over the years -but I digress), sounds like you're lucky to know one. That would make the decision easy for me. The nightmares of some new LR's are well documented. Good luck with your choice.
