Fun to drive but bumpy ride

Fun to drive. From the onboard computer, I get 13 L/100Km (18 mpg) on the highway, 15 L/100Km (15.6 mpg) in the city. When pulling a 7,000 lbs trailer, it was drinking a whopping 30 L/100Km (7.8 MPG) but the performance was impressive. The ride is harder than my 2013 model, probably the result of a lighter suspended mass because of the aluminum body.

167k miles in, it’s been a phenomenal truck.

167k miles in, and this truck still drives and performs like new. It hasn’t had the easiest life. It’s towed heavy loads, it’s been off-roading on roads it problably shouldn’t have, and it’s carried 2000lbs worth of bricks in the bed, all without issues. It had the cam phasers replaced at 150k, but other than that it’s been extremely reliable. Also, with an aftermarket tune, it runs 13.6 in the 1/4 mile and gets 20mpg. Hopefully it’ll last another -67k. I’m confident it will.

Acceleration is great, but reliability isn't

The 3.5L Ecoboost engine has been great. The truck is very quick when empty, and tows a 30ft trailer with no problem even on Colorado mountain passes. However, reliability has been mediocre. At roughly 10k miles, the throttle body failed causing loss of throttle and nonsensical Service AdvanceTrac and Hill Start Assist Disabled errors. The throttle body was replaced under warranty by the dealer. The same symptom recurred at about 40k miles. The fix is relatively easy, so this time I replaced the throttle body and saved myself much of the roughly $600 the dealer would have charged. A little before 40k miles, the vacuum operated actuators that engage 4WD failed causing a terrible grinding noise that goes way in AWD mode and returns in 2WD mode. The dealer replaced both left and right actuators under the drive train warranty. At that time, the dealer also found that the struts were leaking, which was consistent with the front end bounce that showed up when towing, so the struts are now replaced as well. Having previously owned Japanese SUV's that never failed, my F-150 has been a disappointment. Of the roughly 42K miles on the truck, about half were towing a 6000lb travel trailer, but the truck is supposedly designed to do this.

This has been an excellent vehicle with only one major problem. It is very comfortable and easy to drive. I enjoy the XLT package and some options (heavy duty towing with towing mirrors, tailgate step, navigation package, etc.). The only serious problem was that the electric brake controller failed resulting in a permanent hot link to my travel trailer brakes when the trailer was connected. I removed the brake controller fuse so I could pull the trailer home from a camping trip (very carefully since I had no trailer brakes). The controller was replaced under warranty and has worked perfectly since the repair. The voice activation of the navigation system and audio and phone functions seem a bit tedious so I generally enter the navigation information by hand on the screen. The mileage is overstated by 1-2 miles per gallon on the trip/fuel indicators but mileage has been consistently better than with my Nissan Frontier V6 pickup and the Ford is much more comfortable and usable for hauling and towing. Update 7/5/18: Door lock issues last winter: Doors will not open in freezing weather. Not sure if it is a problem with the door latches or the locking mechanism but have been informed that there is a recall that will hopefully fix this issue. Update 1/7/2020, 44657 miles. Revised review: Vehicle went into "limp mode" with "wrench" light (dashboard indicator) on while entering freeway. Vehicle slowed and had no power. Had vehicle towed to dealer. Dealer was unable to diagnose or replicate the problem that caused the fault. Apparently the particular diagnostic codes clear themselves when the car is turned off and restarted so there is no way to diagnose. Why would Ford create a system that causes the vehicle to almost stall then not create the diagnostics to indicate the fault? Dealer suggests "wait til it happens again". I now consider this vehicle totally unreliable and do not look forward to being stuck on the freeway or in the woods at some future point. Update 7/2/2020, 46659 miles. Vehicle went into limp mode again, as expected, since no diagnosis/repair was made after the previous event. This occurred on a busy county road (truck traffic, bicycles, intersections, etc.). I drove it at the 3 to 5 miles per hour that limp mode allows to the dealer for over 8 miles. Dealer was able to diagnose the problem this time since I delivered it running and insisted that the dealer check the codes before it was turned off. Dealer replaced the throttle body. This was not under warranty though vehicle only had 46,000 miles and was less than 5 years old, apparently since it is not an "internal lubricated part" it is not covered by the 5 year 60,000 mile powertrain warranty! I'm thoroughly disgusted with the "limp mode" technology and failure of the Ford diagnostic programs, the failure of the Ford dealer's ability to repair the vehicle and the failure of the Ford warranty to cover this kind of repair given the time and mileage on this vehicle. I still have no faith in the reliability of this vehicle. And to add insult to injury, I just got a recall notice for defective brakes which is, I think, the 4th safety related recall on this vehicle. Update 1/16/ 21 48,500 miles. No further issues with limp mode, but dealer has not contacted me about brake recall mentioned above. Due to covid-19, vehicle has been driven limited miles in 2020 since many vacation/camping trips were canceled.

My trim and engine weren't listed? My particular truck has all the bells and whistles. Power mirrors, windows, locks, etc. Heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats. Split rear window, power running boards, auto wipers, headlights and even auto high beams. I presently have 40K miles on it with only one unscheduled repair. My right cross traffic sensor was replaced under warranty. Other than that, it's been oil changes and tire rotations. The lane keeping system and adaptive cruise control make driving a pleasure. It tows my 7,000 lb camping trailer very well. The turbo motor provides plenty of torque. Overall very satisfied with the truck. Ford hit a home run with this one and is much more refined than the competition.
