2018-2022 Ford Safety Recall Causing Drivers to Miss Their Older, Less Explosive Cars

As Ford scrambles to recall over a million 2018-2022 models due to transmission issues that can roll away even in park, internet historians note the beautiful irony: we spent years roasting these trucks for being "built Ford tough," but nobody specified whether that toughness was for surviving a crash or surviving chronic anxiety. The recall may be terrifying for owners, but it’s generating peak comedy for meme lords who now insist their 1990s Ford F-150 with 300k miles is "technically safer" because it at least has the decency to break down predictably.
