Used 2012 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Consumer Reviews
Dealer uncooperative
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.
Great truck
Extremely roomy and safe for a family

XLT crew cab with 3.5 ecoboost and max tow package
I bought it new from the local dealership seven years ago next month. Besides 3.5 ecoboost and max tow package, 4x4 Off Road package with locking rear diff and skid plates. Stickered at $45,000, year end price was $40k. Dealer wouldn't negotiate much on price, but gave me very fair value on my 2005 Frontier trade in trade.I have put 98,000 miles on it,12,000 towing 6,000 pound trailer. love the ecoboost for towing, very impressive over Colorado passes such as Red Mountain, Lizard Head and Wolf Creek. Decent fuel economy with original tires, combined was 20 mpg. Didn't care for the Goodyear 4 ply Wranglers though. Currently running BFG all terrain10ply tires, mileage dropped to 18 combined. Truck feels much more planted and corners better. I drive it out of town for work often and very pleased with reliability. I take it to Ford for full service oil change every 5k miles. Only other expenses, two sets of tires, battery, front brakes at 90,000. The throttle body failed at 68,000 miles. Dealer repaired at a cost of $670 . This is the only maintenance expense that I would consider outside of normal wear and tear. I have to park it in the driveway because it's a little big to fit in the garage. It still looks near new inside and out. My "owners satisfaction" rating is excellent. I plan to keep it another 7 years.

2012 F-150 Lariat Super Crew Cab
I like the truck. Last month (3/2020) at 94,000 miles I replaced all 4 rotors and brake discs. We often use the truck to pull our 31 ft travel trailer. I change the oil on a regular basis with synthetic oil. One issue I have had is engine hesitation when the truck is first started up. The issue goes away after a minute or two of driving. Another issue is the tail gate not always latching when closing. Sometimes requiring several attempts to properly latch. Gas mileage around town is ~14 mpg. On the highway ~19 mpg. Towing the camper ~9.5 mpg. The gas calculator for mpg and remaining mileage is not too accurate but gives you a ball park value.
