Review
Generally I like the truck, smooth, quiet ride, gas milage good for a vehicle this size.Edmunds list does not have the 3.5 eco boost engine. Some folks have had problems with it. So far good power and smooth. My complaint is with the headlights and taillights fog up on the inside. The dealer says it is not a problem. On an adjoining lot I found several other ford trucks, not my year, had leaking lights. I may go to another dealer or contact ford directly. Big blind spot on the passenger side where the doors meet and the pass. head rest. XLT Nav system is primitive/ confusing, probably will replace it with a Kenwood Garmin.

Review
Almost have 8000 trouble free miles on it so far. Have used it to pull skid steer, building materials, and snowmobiles. The power this motor has is incredible, much better to drive then most V-8's pulls like a diesel. Interior is very comfortable. Mileage is 16-19 mixed driving. If you drive nice I'm sure it would easily get low 20's. Mine has 3:31 gears.
Had a 06' hemi and a 05 5.3 chevy before and this pickup puts both of those to complete shame in every department.

I purchased my 2012 F150 XLT S-Crew 2x4 with the 3.7 V6 in February and already got rid of it.
First off, I love F150's and FORD.
Great value, look great, have nice build quality, etc.
They have proven reliable in the past as all I have owned is FORD's.
This 2012 with the 3.7 dropped the ball big time on MPG.
I drive like a grampa and the EPA estimates are way off.
I was able to get 22mpg highway with cruise control at 65 for the whole tank on a long trip once.
Around town MPG dropped to 13.5 which is unacceptable. The 3.7 is fast though... faster than my old 5.4 v8.
Traded the truck for a 4 cyl Tacoma that actually gets EPA estimates.

Review
I just purchased this truck after driving 2008 and 2010 F150's for the past four years.
Both of the older trucks were great, however I never felt the 5.4 liter V8 had a lot of get up and go (had both the 3.73 and the 3.55 rear ends).
The 5.4 pulled my boat, however you could feel the truck working on hills and passing on the highway.
With the new EcoBoost the power is much more noticable and it tows the boat effortlessly.
The ride and steering also feel much improved over the previous models.
The exterior styling is well done, the truck has a very strong stance.
The interior is spacious and comfortable with a nice wide armrest that folds up for an extra seat on the front bench.
