Ford has a long history of trucks catching on fire spontaneously.

Not to say that your post is any less valid. The F-150 Lightening fires are a real problem also.

I had a Ford truck spontaneously catch fire in 1997.

They weren't called lightening for nothing.

Even way back in the 70’s. Anyone remember the Ford Pinto and its poorly placed gas tank that exploded into flames if hit from the rear?
