Used 2013 Ford F-150 SuperCab Consumer Reviews
Don't buy the ecoboost
Love the truck but feel misled by the eco boost. The fuel economy with the eco boost is terrible. The truck averages about 12.8 around town with some highway and only 16 on the highway. Hauling a small 5x9 covered trailer the milage dropped to 10mpg. The V8 I had in the last F150 did much better with miles per gallon and without the diesel lag on starts. Think I will be the last Ford!

75,000 miles and the timing chain needs to be replaced. And Fords won't help with the bill. No more Fords in this house

Epic failure
Just traded off my 2013 F 150 Eco Boost for a Toyota. Front brake caliper replaced under warranty at about 25k. Since you cannot do one side, I had to pay for the other side. At about 45k battery completely died leaving me stranded. At 50 k, speed sensor failed and almost caused an accident while driving into traffic. Shortly thereafter, the cam oil phasers failed causing loud rattling of engine on cold starts. That was the timing chain. Phasers are a dealer item and a $2700 repair. Also there was a suspension problem requiring front end repair. Also had to replace front brakes again. 3 sets of brakes at 55 k? Ford builds pure junk.
Great, reliable truck.
Just sailed thru 100k miles without a hitch. No breakdowns, no repairs ever needed. I follow the Ford service schedule closely and that has paid off. Would have given 5 stars but gas mileage has recently fallen to slightly less than advertised,, just under 20 mpg average on EcoBoost engine and also only has 5.5 ft bed, not 6.5, which would have been better.

Not expecting 23 mpg's
I'm now approaching 54,000 miles and the 5.0 is not missing a beat. I've been driving in hills in Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. I've had no problem staying over 20 mpg. Driving on regular interstate I get over 23 mpg. With a 18 foot trailer and about 4 to 5 thousand pounds, locally, I get about 16.5 mpg's. The extended cab, not 4 full doors, is still spacious. I do lawn maintenance with my brother on the weekends and the truck's 8 foot bed has been invaluable. I love the truck, I just wish I had the back up camera for hooking up the trailer/boat. I've gotten by just fine without it though... :) The dealership I got it from was garbage though... I'll probably never go to a dealer again. Edit: I have sold the truck. I never had one issue with it out of the 25,000 miles I drove it. I did replace the tires, brakes, and regular maintenance.
