Avoid it, too many problems. First six months, dash instrument cluster squeeked, 6+ trips to fix. Two pumps died, high pressure fuel pump, brake pump. Electrical invertor died (no 12v power to back seat). Radio spikes in volume and not able to daignose it because its intermittant. faulty Switch in shift lever killed battery. timing cover seals leak 2-3k fix. When it works, it's great!

Ford will not stand behind the high pressure fuel pump!!! 110k on truck and it blows without warning!! Service was up to date and it fails going down the road!! Very dangerous for anyone put in that situation by a piece of crap pump system!! Oh and by the way, it only cost me yes me 8500 to get it back on the road!! For a 70plus thousand dollars truck it’s not worth the risk!! Cost me my truck and a lot of money!! Read online about the pump situation and you’ll see it’s been going on for a long long time!! I drove a 2002 f250 diesel 398k miles 7.3 motor and never had an issue other than standard maintenance!! Should have kept it and would still be driving a ford diesel!! SO DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND LOOK OUT BECAUSE EVEN WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY THE FORD STILL WANT COVER THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP!! Aggravated is not the words to describe my feelings but I’ll leave it at that!!

Great Truck, Bad MPG

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.
Nicest truck I have ever owned and drove...but

This truck is amazing but my only complaint is the negative reviews on Ecoboost engines are correct but I do have a warranty five year on it s

My 2012 FX2 EcoBoost F150 V6 3.5 L was super peppy when I got it and averaged around 20 mpg at highway speeds cross country. Pressing on the pedal hard was impressive. Then one humid day on I40 pressing on the pedal to pass resulted in bucking and halting. Long story short, there is a service bulletin on the turbo charger shield. It apparently collects water and then dumps it in your engine. I replaced the catalytic converter because it threw a code but it killed that one within a week. I found the bulletin online and showed it to the dealer. The did comply with the service bulletin and charged me for a second catalytic converter, but it has never been the same. Spraying some CRC in the intake did improve response and performance but still not the same. Mileage is now down to 18 mpg. Still slight hesitation when turbo kicks in. Over 110,000 on it. Update: I have 128,000 on it now. It is still getting about 18mpg. Had hesitation for a while. Corrected with new spark plugs. Had coolant leak which repair shops used a shotgun approach to find. Water pump was leaking and we wound up replacing pump, thermostat, hoses across the engine, and new belts because the old ones were soaked (and old so I’ll give them that) turbo is doing well. Runs well. Still pulls like it means it. Don’t want to get rid of it yet. Update 180000 approx now and small coolant leak from somewhere needs to be addressed. Noticed dashboard lights stay on so have to disconnect battery to keep from draining. Cause: shift assembly with many plastic pieces has broken and is not recognizing when in park. Must replace it, around $300. Still running good otherwise.
