WOW!!!

This truck's 2.7L twin turbo engine roars with speed and power, it's incredibly fast off the line. Considering it's power the mpg its good, but in real world not great when compared to other trucks. Supposedly with the 4x4 I should be getting 19 combined, in actuality I'm getting 17-18. The computer is showing close to 18.7, but when calculated manually its a mile or more less. That said, by electing the smaller engine it would matter if there was a trade off for mileage vs power, but that's not the case. I'm suspecting with a custom tune the shifting would improve and the turbos performance would increase substantially. There is probably no end to what could be done in performance mods. Pros: Fast/Powerful, handles great, very roomy, good gas mileage for a truck, awesome front end look. Aluminum body reduces weight, seems tough and doesn't dent easy. Cons: Front seats not the most comfortable, plastic trim Interior, halogen lights, navigation and leather aren't included until you fork out big bucks. Ford makes you pay for options other makers may include. They probably needed to give and take somewhere considering the expense they forked out for the lighter aluminum body. Ford needs a black out option, this truck is black and there is to many emblems colors on it, plus the white lettering on the tires. It weakens it's appearance.

Why I Switched from Audi to the New F-150

This truck is great. I recently left my 2013 Audi A6 because I was tired of the endless issues with their German technology. I loved that car, but if one thing had an issue . . . the entire car seemed to have an issue. The new F-150 accelerates like a best, has great comfort and convenience items, and feels safer driving in Southern California. The gas mileage is a little misleading. I have to make a concerted effort to stay above 15mpg in the city, but I didn't buy this truck for fuel economy. My engine is the 3.5 ecoboost and I am pretty sure the 2.7 with auto off/on lives up to the mpg hype. I think my favorite thing so far is the ease of the touchscreen SYNC system. I am a big fan of it. I don't like the on-line features though, because it often times requires calling an operator as opposed to just asking for and receiving results. Overall, if you want a new truck that has the comfort of a car, the mpg of a medium to light suv, and the power of a truck . . . I suggest the new F-150. Be aware that there may be some sticker shock, though.

Exceeded my expectations

2015 Ford F-150 XL 4dr SuperCab 6.5 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
5 of 7 people found this review helpful

The truck has the base 3.5L V-6 and the acceleration is quite good and overall fuel economy is 20-21 mpg! It is the XL trim level with manual windows and locks. For vinyl seats they are very comfortable. The power steering gives a good feel of the road and the brakes are awesome. I love the telescoping/tilt steering wheel, great idea. I like the blind spot side view mirrors, they are quite nice! The rear seats are roomy enough but nowhere near the crew cab. Plenty of room for groceries and moderate size items. The gauge cluster is useful and easy to read.

2015 Ford F-150 Platinum 4dr SuperCrew 4WD 5.5 ft. SB (5.0L 8cyl 6A)

I have been driving Toyotas for years, four Tundras,the last a 13 platinum great trucks terrible gas mileage, also briefly owned a 2016 limited tacoma terrible truck to drive,comfort,power,drive train,ect..I took a leap of faith and looked at other brands, I test drove a Ram Laramie great truck but was concerned about reliability,drove the new chevy high country with the 6.2 8spd great truck also but a little to square for my taste,and the ride was a little stiff,then I test drove the 15 f150 platinum with the 5.0 the ride was as good as the ram I believed,and maybe even more quite it was getting better mpg than tha 16 tacoma averaged 21.7 driving a 300 mile round trip at 71 mph 6-7 miles per better than the tundra,and a little better than the tacoma I really like everything about this truck if it is as dependable as the Tundras have been then I guess the 16 tacoma could be my last toyota purchase

F-150 King of the Ranch

2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch 4dr SuperCrew 5.5 ft. SB (5.0L 8cyl 6A)

This is my first time owning a Ford F-150 and I wish I would have gotten into a F-150 much sooner. I've owned both Chevy and Dodge over the years and can say without hesitation that the 2015 Ford F-150 is an awesome truck! It provides a very comfortable ride, while still giving the feeling of being in a truck. The 5.0L engine (same one that is in the Mustang) is powerful and enhances the ride with a nice throaty sound from the exhaust. I have used it towing a horse trailer. It is hard to remember that you have something attached to the truck, it tows that easily. In fact, my wife enjoyed driving the truck while towing the trailer, normally she avoids driving while towing. My truck comes with the 6 speed automatic that can be driven as a manual and includes both a Tow and Sport function. You know you are in Sport, with quicker shifts from the transmission and the increase horse power right out of first gear. The technology of the truck is amazing and can be a bit overwhelming, I have to refer back to the manual on occasion. However, I am using all of the features available on this truck, which provides so much convenience. An example is the tow settings that allow you to hook up a trailer and set the brake control, while it knows what type of trailer you have connected. You then can save the trailer settings and the truck will remember it each time you hook it up. I purchased this truck in Beaumont, TX at Kinsel Ford and drove it back 1200 miles, with my horse trailer, back to Wisconsin. It was a fantastic drive back without any issues. The dealership provided me with the best experience in buying my 2015 King Ranch overall and above any other vehicle I have purchased. I had to utilize their service department before leaving and they provided great customer service and speed in getting the issue taken care of. Update 2017 - I have chosen not to drive this truck in Wisconsin winters, so total mileage is lower than anticipated. MPG has gone up to 17.5 combined highway and street. On 2 trips to central Iowa, highway mileage went up to 21 MPG. Sport mode drops MPG pretty fast, but it is expected. Hard to not to use it in Sport mode. No problems to report. This is a fantastic truck! Update Dec 2017 - Continues to be reliable. It appears that my mpg is slowly increasing, previously combine average was 17.5 and now is 18.1. Side note, mpg decreases with Sport mode turned on. It is a pleasure to drive. Two recent occurrences on the freeway showed me how well the truck stops quickly and straight as an arrow. My Chevy and Dodge trucks always had the rear end slide out to the side in sudden stopping. I was amazed at how my F-150 stops so well. Update June 2018 Still getting 21 mpg on longer drives, got up to 23 mpg when the tank was ethanol free. As long as I don't turn on sport mode I average the 18.1 mpg. I wish box was bigger, now that I use it more. I love the Michelin tires, great traction and smooth ride. Update June 2019 As noted before, when I can purchase fuel without ethanol, my mpg on combined city and highway goes into the 20's. Everything is working quite well. No services required other than my oil changes and air filter, which I do myself. I have had 3 recalls on the truck, the last 2 were frozen door locks and the potential for the seat belts to spark a fire in rapid retraction. None of the recalls had any direct negative affect with my truck. There is one issue that is quite frustrating and that is Ford cancelling their contract with Microsoft for the Sync feature in the 2015 to 2017 models. That is ridiculous, to only allow use of this Sync version for 3 years and the fact we were paying for use of this feature. To upgrade to the new Sync version would cost over $3000, as you would have to purchase a new screen for your existing vehicle. It makes me wonder if Ford will do this every 3 years going forward. My truck gets a lot of looks, as the combined colors Bronze Fire/Caribou is very rare in Wisconsin. I made my purchase originally in Texas. I am still enjoying this truck and do not plan on trading it in.
