Overview & Reviews

The Ford F-150 is the star of the long-running F-Series line, which stretches back to the post-World War II era, and millions of F-150s have been sold in that time. Originally conceived as a rugged, no-frills workhorse, the Ford F-150 has since morphed into a well-appointed, versatile rig with numerous trim levels that serve a wide range of shoppers, including weekend warriors who need room for the family and the occasional trip to the hardware store.

The full-size pickup segment is so competitive these days that it's hard to pick a clear favorite. But new or used, the F-150 is a great choice, with recent models offering cutting-edge features like turbocharged engines and the MyFord Touch electronics interface. Thanks to the Ford F-150's countless configurations and incredible popularity, you're almost guaranteed to find one that meets your needs.

  Best Pickup Truck Out There F150 XLT Supercrew 4x4 - 2015 Ford F-150
  By NCcarBuyer - December 6 - 12:22 pm

  First of all: this is a great truck. Fords engineers did a sensational job of designing, detailing, specifying and overseeing construction of the 2015 F150 Supercrew 4x4. Bill Ford Jr. should be proud. He previously sent me a personal note of thanks back in 2009, when I ordered a 2010 King Ranch built custom for me. Nice guy. I get the feeling he takes great pride in his familys business. It shows in this truck, the latest incarnation of the 38-year run of Americas most popular vehicle: the F150. We didnt get the King Ranch this time (although I would have like to). We settled on what appears to be Fords "sweet spot" of F150s: the XLT level. Why: we got the 302A package, which includes a very nice assortment of goodies to make just about anyone smile: 8" productivity screen (Fords website is wrong: it says 4.2", but I just measured it), including Sirius & Synch, trailer hitch, power exterior mirror adjustment, auto-dimming rearview mirrors (thats wonderful), leather steering wheel, power adjusting pedals, tilt-telescoping steering wheel, rearview camera, under sear rear storage, remote start (which is nice on a snow/ice morning, or if youd like your dog to stay comfortable when you are inside a store), 10-way power&heated front seats with lumbar, reverse sonar, 110v/400W outlet on dash, power rear window, LED box lighting, 18" chrome wheels, chrome grille, OWL AT tires, chrome door handles, chrome front tow hooks, chrome step bars, chrome exhaust tip. Also included are: defrost in front and rear windshields, that activates when you remote start (just did this from a hotel room with snow and ice outside, so that was very convenient). Ours has the trailer tow package with built-in 7/4 pin wiring ports with flip covers, auxiliary transmission oil cooler, engine oil cooler, integrated trailer brake control on the dash, upgraded front stabilizer bar. Power equipment group is included: auto on/off headlamps with headlights that turn on when you turn on the windshield wipers, daytime running lamps (you must set lights to A for Automatic), drivers side entry combo lock on exterior, perimeter alarm, power locks and windows, remote lock integrated key transmitter, including power tailgate locking, boxlink (various cleats in the cargo bed for lashing loads down), fog lamps, . We also are adding the foldable pickup box box extender gate: cheap at $250. Turns your shortbed into a "Transformer" for longer cargo. And we have the Twin panel moonroof (very cool: about 75% of your roof becomes a "skyroof" and gives you all the benefits of a convertible without the negatives. Unprecedented luxury in a mid-range luxury truck). All that, and with $4,750 worth of rebates and incentives at the Mansfield, Ohio Graham AutoMall, and with a great trade-in value on our trade. This F150 XLT package in a very good value for a full-size comfortable truck that will make anyone smile, every time you drive it. I actually think I like it even more than my previous 2010 King Ranch (even thought leather isnt a factory option). And lets face it: if you really want leather, you can have your local dealer add that for about $1,200. But the 302A XLT with the skyroof is going to hit that sweet spot for many Americans looking for that particular level of value and luxury: a lot of bang for your buck. I think Ill probably be keeping this one a long time. Handling: make no mistake: this is a big truck. It appears that you are in a semi-tractor when you first sit in the cab. Kind of intimidating and exciting at the same time, realizing that you are going to be driving this beast. The handling is very responsive, with the little bit of body roll, but not as much as you might think with this full sized vehicle. Power: outstanding. I really wanted the 2.7L V6 ecoboost, but the dealer couldnt find one with the dual sunroof. So I have the 3.5LV6 ecoboost, which can lay you back in your seat if you have the guts to put your foot down. But be careful, youll be going way too fast in only a second or two. No reason for the V8, unless youre going to be hauling horse trailers or houseboats. Luxury: unprecedented in a mid-range model of a full-sized truck. That optional Twin Moon Roof should have been called a "SkyRoof" because about 75% of your roof is glass. Its like driving in a penthouse apartment with a huge skylight. Even though you cant order an XLT with leather, you could always add that through your dealer for about another $1,200 if you really want to do that. Controls are sophisticated but easy to understand and operate. Havent yet tried the Synch, but Ive been told its not hard. Fabric seats are okay in appearance and very comfortable. I think Ford could probably have their interior cabin team do some thinking about this fabric and make it even more interesting, but it is what it is: fabric. So buy leather if you want it. Mileage: we got about 20mpg on the highway with our 3.5LV6 ecoboost.

  great trucks!!! - 2002 Ford F-150
  By Morales - December 4 - 8:51 pm

  Best truck ever owned! With 246000 still runs great! I use it daily and I take it on a monthly 8 hour round trip drive to Drill and never had a single problem, I got lucky with mine since I bought it for 2 grand. I love driving stick shift and the 4.6combination makes its great! I currently get about 22 on highway and 15 in town. My dad really like my pick up that he bought one for himself and my brother. All of our fords have well over 240000 and we trust them dearly. About a month ago I bought my second f150 for my wife while Im gone for 6 months, she had 92 Chevy Silverado but we started having trust issues with it since it overheated. I have had Chevy, dodge and Ford trucks from half tons to 1 tons and this model f150 has been the most reliable and trustworthy truck I have ever owned.

  Imagine That - 2007 Ford F-150
  By beltbuckle2003 - December 2 - 1:09 pm

  I bought this vehicle from Tinker AFB Okc, Okl...thru a dealer in Cheney,Kansas, it had 22,500 miles on it ( 09-25-2014). The bed inside the truck was beat up by dry- wallers, so I put a liner in and it looks new now, (and a Toneau cover). Was sad to hear about the cam phasers after I bought it. So, I kept it in hopes I can trade it off when the truck gets 65,000 miles on it...another 2 years probably, ( 39,250 miles now). The gas mileage is around 15-19 .not bad for the 5.4 . everything works great, and I guess, by all the bad reviews I have a 1 in a million truck that is OK...have more problems with the dealer..in the oil changes, and tire rotation, than anything. I rotate the tires ( LT275R70-17- Firestone- 10 ply) every other oil change, 4,000 miles....fyi...Federal Electrical Inspector-Kingman, Kansas...

  Hits and misses - 2015 Ford F-150
  By Alex L - November 19 - 12:15 pm

  I actually have an XLT Supercrew 2.7L Ecoboost FX4. Love the quiet ride, smooth and powerful acceleration from the 2.7L Ecoboost and the interior is pleasing. The FX4 package definitely has a stiffer busy ride on an empty bed - would have preferred regular 4X4 but they only had FX4s in the configuration I was looking for. Although still in break in phase, fuel economy is disappointing so far - averaging about 16.2 mpg on very gentle mixed driving. Read the Edmunds review on the fuel economy on the 2.7L which they have found to be well short of the EPA rating. I think it ends up being maybe 1 mpg better than the V8. Given the negligible price difference between the 2.7 V6 vs the V8, I would have purchased the V8 instead had I know about the poor real world fuel economy. Also, when just purchased, I already noticed surface rust on the rear differential housing and a couple of other small areas. Worried about how well the rust issue will hold up in the long tem.

  2008 xl with 4.2 v6 - 2008 Ford F-150
  By Nick - November 19 - 1:26 am

  Purchased this truck with 195000 miles, so far Ive replaced a serpentine belt, fuel sending unit (something everyone should replace, they are known to fail) and a fuel pump. Interior comfort is amazing for a base model truck, large seats with good arm support. Only issue I find with the interior on this model it only has three cupholders. MPG is very good for a full sized truck with the v6 and manual 5 speed.

  Best Ford in the world - 1999 Ford F-150
  By Juan - November 14 - 10:16 pm

  We purchase the F-150 with 140,000 miles an know is over 220,000 miles an never rely had a problem only part we had to replace was an alternator, tires, and wiper blades. The F-150 still very original even has the original battery. The 4WD was amazing she could pass through the snow, and mud with no problem. Got amazing gas millage for a pickup, we could over 8 hours of driving without having to think were to stop for gas. Has the strong running 5.4(330) which is fun to drive around if you get what I mean. The box is pretty good size not to short or to long there is more space then some of the newer replacement. The F-150 was decent at towing you just may loose the good mpg other than that you will pull just find. We still have the F-150 but after 9 years of running strong she blew a sparkplug coil. We took it to get fix with our local mechanic and he end up making a big hole on the engine head so we now looking for an engine head to get it up an running.
