My 2014 Ford Truck

UPDATE. I traded this truck for a 2016 Ford F150 XLT. I enjoyed the 2014 but the lease was running out. I have had this Truck since 2/1/15. It is great in the snow. With the 4 wheel drive you can get through just about anything. With the 5.0 liter I range around 14.5 in the city and it will get 21 MPG on the highway at 70 MPH. It's comfortable and the back seat is huge especially with the seats up. The truck does many things right. It pulls my boat and trailer with ease which is probably around 4000 lbs. Even with the 5.5 ft bed, there is a ton of room since the sides are high. Here is a couple of annoyances.. In the STX model many times the rubber cup holder liner comes out attached to my coffee cup. I have never figured out how to retrieve a text when the blue tooth is on and I am a pretty techy guy. The manual does not explain the sync very well. Around 20,000 miles I started to get some vibration when braking. I assume it needs the rotors turned. I have driven a few new GM trucks my friends have and I still like mine better than theirs. I don't know anything about the dodges as Chrysler as whole seems to have more reliability problems than Ford or GM.

This is my third F-150 in seven years, as I lease. I use my truck as a combination farm vehicle and general transportation; everything from towing a livestock trailer to picking up groceries to hauling my grandsons. I was pleased with my previous two F-150's and so far this one seems even better. It looks sharp (plenty of compliments), has plenty of power (2.7L turbo), rides like a car and handles very well. I am particularly impressed with the engine (see below)and the interior finish. So far the gas mileage has been disappointing - especially after all the hype - but I am hopeful it will get better over time. Overall a very good truck and one I would highly recommend.
Workhorse with everyday comfort

I bought brand new and have 120,000 miles on it now. This truck has been a totally reliable workhorse with total everyday, all day comfort. This truck is comfortable for very tall people like myself, but just as good for shorter folks. Unlike other truck brands, Ford can actually accommodate those 6-4 and up. The 5.0L V8 is a phenomenal engine, even towing in the high altitude rocky mountains I've never "needed" more power. Starts first time every time. Can even run ethanol, just don't do it in the winter because it won't start as well (has to do with the flashpoint and other chemical differences to start a spark). Gas mileage is 19 on highway and 16-17 in town with factory wheels/tires. I upgraded to aftermarket wheels and 33" tires, being much bigger and heavier but more capable, and now get 17 highway and 16 town. Negatives: I've had two small issues. 1) After 3 days of nonstop rain when left outside, the seals around the door handles blew out at like 30k miles. Replaced under warranty for free. Would be an easy job to do out of warranty too, just hit it with marine grade silicone and you're good. 2) The engine threw a code saying that it couldn't read the crankshaft position (90k miles). I think this is partly due to my aftermarket tune, but was fixed in minutes with a code reader machine. Just had to "re-learn" the sensor. Took 3 minutes and zero tools to fix, never to come up again. 3) The electronic rear differential switch failed after like 100k miles in cold weather. This is common, and the part is readably available on amazon for like 35 bucks and can be replaced in 2 minutes. Pluses: 1) Power. 2) I have done nothing to this truck but preventative maintenance and it ticks like a fine Swiss watch. I replaced the battery at 4/5 years, synthetic oil and filter every 5k, and tire rotations every 5k. I've never even had an alignment done, tracks straight and tires wear perfectly even! Besides solid maintenence, I beat the crap out of this truck. Hunting in the rockies, cold starts to go skiing, nevada deserts, texas summers, terrible fire service roads, 12" snow storms...this is the toughest vehicle I've even been it. 3) It steers very predictably, even in snow, ice or rain. It has "feeling", and it's very predicatble when you're about to lose traction. You can really push this truck to the limit without killing yourself. 4) The pin pad on the door is awesome. I regularly lock my keys in my car when shopping or at the trailhead so it's one less thing I have to worry about losing. 5) Looks great 6) Last year model with STEEL body (besides the aluminum hood 7) Did I mention the 5.0 V8 is the shiz? Sounds AMAZING, too Gripes: 1) Turn signal knob doesn't have a solid mechanical feel, and until you get a good feel for it, sometimes it only starts the signal for 3 flashes instead of continuous. 2) Sometimes, in wet or slippery road conditions, the traction control kicks in very early when you're trying to accelerate. Wish it would allow slightly more tire spin before kicking in. 3) The oil filter is in a terrible location. It's very easily accessible, but there is a cross-member below it. So when you unscrew it, oil drains on both sides of the cross-member and can get messy.

2014 Ford F-150 Platinum 4dr SuperCrew 4WD 6.5 ft. SB (5.0L 8cyl 6A)

Purchased an F-150 Platinum (Mine has a 6.6ft bed and an Ecoboost... dunno why it's not listed) and love it! Had a 2010 F150 Lariat before that was moderately loaded and was wishing for more. So after I had some equity in the truck we traded in for this puppy and our payments are nearly the same :). Driving these two vehicles in theory should have been the same (minus the engine. The Lariat had the 5.4 w/a 6-speed). Although they were virtually the same truck everything about the way they act is different under the assumption that the engine changes everything. Steering in the Platinum is waaaay more refined and the road noise on the vehicle is greatly reduced at highway speeds. The only thing about the truck I didn't like initially were the wheels... So I actually transferred the wheels from our old one to this one and it's actually a truck instead of a pimpmobile. Gas mileage is slightly poorer with the Ecoboost (14vs17 mixed mpg's) than with the 5.4 and I'm assuming it has to do with moving all that weight around. Also let's face it. When you're purchasing a truck of this magnitude you have to accept that mileage is going to be more on the poor side. However the pickup on this engine is remarkable and almost car-like so that more than makes up for it. 90% of the interior controls are digital with only volume, temp and some radio preset buttons having hard press keys. With a home menu that's set up.... ok, everything in the vehicle is easy to function and menu's are easily read and settings are easy...ish to change. occasionally you'll have to tap an option again as the 1st time it didn't register but this isn't to the point that it's frustrating. The power fold mirrors and back-up camera are options that are luxuries but not that I have them I don't know how I lived without them in my previous F-150. They make parking and maneuvering this beast a lot easier in a tighter parking lot and I have come to rely on them. Right height is perfect and driving down the road it behaves very well, with all features working beautifully to keep you on the road in the more harsh ND winters. My family's favorite feature of the vehicle has to be all the heated/cooled seats. Being leather in ND this is something of a luxury and a first for us. everyone can now enjoy a warm tush on days where temps can get as low as -30F on the daily and with leather you can get pretty cold down there before things start to warm on in the vehicle. This is definitely a vehicle I can recommend and for one buying the same brand/model of vehicle twice hasn't let me down. Way to go Ford!

How can you love it when it’s in the shop

Fords abiility to diagnose issues is suspect at best. During the summer of 2016, Ford replaced the points on clynder # 7. Then replaced the short block then sent out and had the heads rebuilt. In the spring of 2017 a shutter in the transmission developed. Ford reset the learning process but the shutter never went away. In the fall ford indicated that they thought the torque converter was bad,but they could not get one. As such they replaced the entire transmission. Now after three resets of the learning process the transmission continues to clunk going in and out of first gear. Ford at this point doesn’t know what to do? My truck has been in the shop for over 40 days to date with no resolution in site. Thank god I bought the extended warranty!
