  This is by far the worst work truck I have ever ow - 2015 Ford F-150
  By Nick - January 21 - 11:38 am

  Where do I start. Truck started out brand new and the heat and ac didnt work. 3 weeks later waiting for the part to come from China, it worked. Second the doors dont close right. Dont try to slam it shut it wont close. Third the seat doesnt adjust up or down and being 6ft 1 my knees hit the steering wheel. Fourth the truck comes with 2 ac plug outlets. Well they are useless unless you want to charge your phone. They wont charge my drill batteries at all. It over loads it and just blinks yellow. Why do I have 2 plugs if one cannot handle a 12v 3 amp battery. 5th the truck take 20-25 minutes to actually put out hot air in 20 degree temps, really? 6th the radio signal is week, the radio stations I listen to in my personal vechile which is a chevy work fine. The range on this pos is short. All in all this truck if you want to call it that... Ford went real real real cheap on this heap of junk. If your not delivering flowers this truck is not for you.

  Not so Eco Friendly Eco Boost - 2012 Ford F-150
  By Brand - January 21 - 10:05 am

  Bought a 2012 F150 Lariat with 80K miles on it. It now has 90K miles on it and Im getting rid of it and heres why.... Pros: very comfortable ride, plenty of power when not having issues, lots of storage space and rear seat space, interior quality is nice. Cons: the ecoboost engine has been getting worse and worse gas mileage the more I drive it. I get about 12.5 mpg city and 18 hwy. As mentioned by several others, it has a serious lag problem when you go to accelerate past a vehicle. First time I had this happen I was traveling up a hill trying to pass a semi truck. The vehicle felt like it was going to shake apart and seems like the transmission is complete junk. Now Ive been getting a horrible humming noise any time theres rain or snow at slow speeds and while slowing down. Ive had 4 mechanics including ford look at it...I keep getting "weve never heard anything like this before." Ford has been useless in finding a solution to the issue. As nice as the truck looks and rides, its not worth the engine/transmission issues it will give you. Id look at at GMC in the same price range.

  All 97 5.4 L Knock on cold start up (overbore) - 1997 Ford F-150
  By Jerry Myers - January 20 - 1:21 pm

  Ford discovered a calibration error on the block boring machine that ended up over boring the early 5.4L engines for all of 97 and half of 98. This was discovered (especially up north) when many fleet trucks with this new modular engine began to knock like a rod bearing going out during cold weather start-up after approximately 85,000 miles. After engine warm up or in warm weather (well above freezing temperature) the knock subsides (metals expand in heat). Apparently, according to the tech bulletin issued in late 98-99, the cylinders in the 5.4 Ls were accidentally over bored causing piston slap when cold during startup, and stated it would not harm the engine or interfere with function or performance. After purchasing a 35,000 lariat 4x4, I found the news disappointing at best and little consolation for owners that have to listen to an annoying knock in the engine until warm-up of the engine or warm weather (which ever comes first). Mine has over 160,000 miles as of this note date, and has not burned oil, but simply irritates me that Ford would not do anything about it (expense of putting oversized pistons in these engines to cure the issue). WARNING: AVOID the 5.4L engine in the 97 and most of the 98 Ford vehicles at all cost. Beyond that theyre good engines!

  Average. - 2010 Ford F-150
  By Phil - January 19 - 6:02 pm

  2010 4Dr XLT F150 5.4L 3.31GR 145WB So far this has been a fair ride. Had issues with the tranny shifting. Had to argue with the dealer about it. They finally re-loaded the software for the tranny and it is working good now. No cost to fix. At 60,000 miles the exhaust manifold crack. Out of warranty. $1000 to fix. Appears to be a known issue. Had to put silicone around the cargo light. Water stained the liner. This also a known issue. Basic model. No fancy electronics. Just a radio and CD player. Manual temp controls. Currently pull a 6500 lb travel trailer. Have not had any issues with that. Over all pleased. Basic issues. No show stoppers. Just maintain and should be good. As my Dad always told me "If you cant maintain the vehicle you have, you cant afford a new one"

  This truck is well blended for comfort and utility - 2015 Ford F-150
  By Doug Heitkamp - January 17 - 11:13 am

  It has a lot of torque and it goes when you put your foot down. I am still learning a lot of tech options. The first few fill ups have been averaging 17-18 mpg which I think is great for a 5 liter V8. The supercab is comfortable for four people. We have had five for short trips without an issue. We went for the supercab so the truck would fit in the garage with a 6.5 box. So far I am very happy with our decision to buy this truck.

  Like the King of the Ranch - 2014 Ford F-150
  By Kay Wo - January 12 - 12:00 am

  Quite high off the ground and driver side doesnt have a handle. Only the steering wheel to get in. Heated AND cooled seats a luxury demanded now!

  F150 wanna buy mine? - 2011 Ford F-150
  By Tim - January 7 - 4:05 pm

  19 feet long , very wide, electric power steering takes getting use to. Everything in the cab is with-in easy reach. I didnt opt for the electronics, sync, nav, etc. I dont see the point, in a car. If you need stuff hauled this is the beast. Need to plow, get an F 350 or F 250, with 4wd.

  Best "car" Ive ever owned - 2015 Ford F-150
  By Jeff - December 27 - 1:16 pm

  Traded a 2013 Toyota Highlander. First full size pickup Ive owned. The F150 has a smoother ride, is quieter on the road, is much peppier and gets better gas mileage than the Highlander. Its a solid, well built truck with plenty of interior room. Puts SUVs to shame.

  Tundra no more - 2015 Ford F-150
  By TD - December 27 - 10:28 am

  I have been driving Toyotas for years, four Tundras,the last a 13 platinum great trucks terrible gas mileage, also briefly owned a 2016 limited tacoma terrible truck to drive,comfort,power,drive train,ect..I took a leap of faith and looked at other brands, I test drove a Ram Laramie great truck but was concerned about reliability,drove the new chevy high country with the 6.2 8spd great truck also but a little to square for my taste,and the ride was a little stiff,then I test drove the 15 f150 platinum with the 5.0 the ride was as good as the ram I believed,and maybe even more quite it was getting better mpg than tha 16 tacoma averaged 21.7 driving a 300 mile round trip at 71 mph 6-7 miles per better than the tundra,and a little better than the tacoma I really like everything about this truck if it is as dependable as the Tundras have been then I guess the 16 tacoma could be my last toyota purchase
