Used 2013 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Consumer Reviews
2013 Ford F150 EcoBoost = Trash
Never, ever, ever...did I say never buy a Ford Ecoboost vehicle. Nothing but trouble, and now at 115,000 miles, engine is trash. I have always been a Ford person but the eco-boost is a joke. Great while it lasted, just didn't last like a Ford truck should. I would give zero stars but can't.
My Ford Touch Misses The Mark
Overall, the truck is very nice. Ford Engineering took some steps to try and make the 2013 F150 a better truck. While some of these areas were improved, others were over engineered and missed the mark.

Love my new Ecoboost! FX4 w/max tow pgk
They didn't have an option for 3.5L Ecoboost FX4. I just got done towing a 28ft 8,000lb trailer to Yosemite National Park and it pulled it with no issues, turbo lag or trouble getting up 7%+ grade hills. I had a 2010 with the 5.4ltr v8 and it had trouble pulling the travel trailer even with the 3.73gears. In towing I got average of 12.5mpg. I usually get 15.5 in city and upper teens for hwy but I work in a hilly area so I'm getting better then I expected. I was a little worried about the Ecoboost reviews from the '11 & '12' models but looks like they worked out the kinks for '13 but I leased the truck just in case. If you need a truck that can tow alot & get v6 mpg's, this is the truck!
V6 ecoboost torture test joke!
I was skeptical, but due to a great deal offered by a local dealer to move last years new models - I bought in. Shame on me for believing the ford propaganda videos on this engine. Series of 6 “torture test”videos that can be found archived on YouTube. Watch those. Impressive huh? My ecoboost was treated to the best oil/filters money could buy and always changed on time and maintained. It’s duty cycle was not to haul, tow, or even work. Needed to simply carry my carcass 80mi r/t to work every day. 99% highway miles. Easiest duty cycle any vehicle could ask for. $3200 timing chain repair at 90k, and the engine ultimately gave up (rod bearing/oil pump/etc) at 177k. Truck still looked showroom new in/out. Sold as-is at a huge loss rather than continue on with this nonsense engine. 100% junk. Loved this vehicle in every other way. Still highly suggest f150 but v8 for me this time around. They may have improved on the ecoboost since 2013 (or not). You would be wise to search the ford/f150/ecoboost forums for timing chain posts and read. It’s certainly not just my experience ;)

2013 f150 Crew cab limited 3.5 l twin turbo
I only have about 68,000 miles on this truck which is very low for the age but it is one of the best trucks I've owned plenty of power loaded with options never had a problem but I do keep up with the maintenance oil changes tire rotations everything Ford recommends I get a lot of compliments on the looks of the truck and driving forwards for close to 40 years I've tried Chevy Dodge had a lot of problems Dodge transmission Chevy fuel pump wiper motor AC compressor electrical problems all this with less than 70,000 never again Chevy very happy with the truck I have. I understand there's a lemons in every manufacturer of vehicles I guess I've either been lucky or it's the fact I take great care of my vehicles have to they're so expensive.
