First of all: this is a great truck. Ford's engineers did a sensational job of designing, detailing, specifying and overseeing construction of the 2015 F150 Supercrew 4x4. Bill Ford Jr. should be proud. He previously sent me a personal note of thanks back in 2009, when I ordered a 2010 King Ranch built custom for me. Nice guy. I get the feeling he takes great pride in his family's business. It shows in this truck, the latest incarnation of the 38-year run of America's most popular vehicle: the F150. We didn't get the King Ranch this time (although I would have like to). We settled on what appears to be Ford's "sweet spot" of F150s: the XLT level. Why: we got the 302A package, which includes a very nice assortment of goodies to make just about anyone smile: 8" productivity screen (Ford's website is wrong: it says 4.2", but I just measured it), including Sirius & Synch, trailer hitch, power exterior mirror adjustment, auto-dimming rearview mirrors (that's wonderful), leather steering wheel, power adjusting pedals, tilt-telescoping steering wheel, rearview camera, under sear rear storage, remote start (which is nice on a snow/ice morning, or if you'd like your dog to stay comfortable when you are inside a store), 10-way power&heated front seats with lumbar, reverse sonar, 110v/400W outlet on dash, power rear window, LED box lighting, 18" chrome wheels, chrome grille, OWL AT tires, chrome door handles, chrome front tow hooks, chrome step bars, chrome exhaust tip. Also included are: defrost in front and rear windshields, that activates when you remote start (just did this from a hotel room with snow and ice outside, so that was very convenient). Ours has the trailer tow package with built-in 7/4 pin wiring ports with flip covers, auxiliary transmission oil cooler, engine oil cooler, integrated trailer brake control on the dash, upgraded front stabilizer bar. Power equipment group is included: auto on/off headlamps with headlights that turn on when you turn on the windshield wipers, daytime running lamps (you must set lights to A for Automatic), drivers side entry combo lock on exterior, perimeter alarm, power locks and windows, remote lock integrated key transmitter, including power tailgate locking, boxlink (various cleats in the cargo bed for lashing loads down), fog lamps, . We also are adding the foldable pickup box box extender gate: cheap at $250. Turns your shortbed into a "Transformer" for longer cargo. And we have the Twin panel moonroof (very cool: about 75% of your roof becomes a "skyroof" and gives you all the benefits of a convertible without the negatives. Unprecedented luxury in a mid-range luxury truck). All that, and with $4,750 worth of rebates and incentives at the Mansfield, Ohio Graham AutoMall, and with a great trade-in value on our trade. This F150 XLT package in a very good value for a full-size comfortable truck that will make anyone smile, every time you drive it. I actually think I like it even more than my previous 2010 King Ranch (even thought leather isn't a factory option). And let's face it: if you really want leather, you can have your local dealer add that for about $1,200. But the 302A XLT with the skyroof is going to hit that sweet spot for many Americans looking for that particular level of value and luxury: a lot of bang for your buck. I think I'll probably be keeping this one a long time. Handling: make no mistake: this is a big truck. It appears that you are in a semi-tractor when you first sit in the cab. Kind of intimidating and exciting at the same time, realizing that you are going to be driving this beast. The handling is very responsive, with the little bit of body roll, but not as much as you might think with this full sized vehicle. Power: outstanding. I really wanted the 2.7L V6 ecoboost, but the dealer couldn't find one with the dual sunroof. So I have the 3.5LV6 ecoboost, which can lay you back in your seat if you have the guts to put your foot down. But be careful, you'll be going way too fast in only a second or two. No reason for the V8, unless you're going to be hauling horse trailers or houseboats. Luxury: unprecedented in a mid-range model of a full-sized truck. That optional Twin Moon Roof should have been called a "SkyRoof" because about 75% of your roof is glass. It's like driving in a penthouse apartment with a huge skylight. Even though you can't order an XLT with leather, you could always add that through your dealer for about another $1,200 if you really want to do that. Controls are sophisticated but easy to understand and operate. Haven't yet tried the Synch, but I've been told it's not hard. Fabric seats are okay in appearance and very comfortable. I think Ford could probably have their interior cabin team do some thinking about this fabric and make it even more interesting, but it is what it is: fabric. So buy leather if you want it. Mileage: we got about 20mpg on the highway with our 3.5LV6 ecoboost.

I traded my 2013 which had, what think we're HID headlights...so bright...and when on at night the area lit was stunning...this truck has halogen lights...terrible, and I am being generous...for some unknown reason, Ford has decided to eliminate the HID, an replace with weak LED...this was told to me by my salesman...he is trying to find out if there is a replacement kit...I am completely disappointed with these headlamps

This new truck is fantastic. I traded an ’09 XLT I purchased as a second vehicle four years ago to serve as a tow vehicle for a travel trailer. I rethought my situation and sold a two year old car to then make the truck the primary vehicle. I wanted a bit more upscale but lived with the XLT. Recently I purchase a 2015 F150 Lariat 4x2 with every feature minus adaptive cruise, dynamic park assist and 4x4- pretty much loaded. I am a very critical shopper and compared the competition and read the reports with the understanding that my conclusion trumps reviews or opinions. I read the recall info on all makes and the safety tests. Consumers have to be careful as there is bias in everything it seems LIKE in the safety tests I found that from the source, IIHS.org, that all pickups over the past years and present do not have all the tests performed yet they claim 4-star overall etc. except the Ford. Check the source and NOT all the safe car websites that misrepresent the facts. A quick summary of my grades on pickups that led me to the Ford: The Silverado was a nice truck but it did not appeal to design-wise. The large cut out wheel wells were overdone and showed underpinnings, etc. The Square front reminded me of a 70s vehicle. The RAM 1500 was, by reviews, a strong contender until I drove it and was strongly influenced to not selecting the eco diesel by the dealer. The reason? When he found that my towing requirements were 7000# with a tongue weight of 1000# plus scooter and camping equipment in the bed. The killer was the low max payload of 1400#. The Toyota was the last option and it was nice but sparse in feature set related to functionality. While looking it really brought the issue to the front- aside from any upscale features the truck has to do its job without being overtaxed or at its max or have a high MPG penalty. That factor alone eliminated the RAM and Tundra requiring their highest numerical ratios and biggest engines to meet the need. Then I visited the Ford dealer. The statistics told me that the supercrew had the payload capacity and tow ability but each truck I looked at was different. Finally I found a Lariat with a 3.5 ecoboost. Interestingly the 2.7 with HD payload and max tow would have met my requirements but at the max as the other brands. The 3.5 gave me some breathing room. I drove the vehicle and found it to be light footed and quiet. My 2009 was NOTHING like this. The steering was tight and required less turning. The ride, which I read “how horrible” was very comparable to the others. BTW the RAM was heavy (by 1000#) and it was felt driving it. The F-150 does have a rear end jitter over bumps BUT compared to the ’09 it is vastly improved. That, in my opinion goes with having the better ability of performing as a truck- payload and tow ratings. I came away very impressed and knew it was the one. That said, I am critical. I took delivery in the evening and found a mark like a cut in the edge of the dash on my way home. I also found an odd hard place in the center of the rear seat bottom as something had happened to the leather above a seat heater. I took it back to the dealer who is presently taking care of it. I know that each of us must shop and come to our own conclusion. I would highly suggest an F-150 as it is, in my opinion, the most capable truck with car-like features and the best mpg for the power to do what a truck is designed to do. THAT SAID, if you only plan to haul mulch or have a jet ski or small trailer item, compare the F150 Lariat 2.7 eco and Dodge Laramie eco-diesel as both seem to make good moderate-ability choices though the gas F150 does not require DEF and gets about the same mileage.

Having worked at a dealership I have spent more time than the general consumer getting to know and test every square inch of these new pickups and as long as you get the right engine for what you need and get all of the features you want, you will fall in love with this truck more and more everyday you drive it. Having the 2.7L V6 Ecoboost was the right choice for me in that when I pull anything it's a small camper or boat, which with 7600lbs towing capacity it more than gets the job done. The same engineers who created the new 6.7L Powerstroke motor in 2011 are the same engineers who created this 2.7L Ecoboost motor, with a CGI block and diesel inspired pistons, you can really feel how amazing this motor is and still gets great gas mileage. I've had many farmers and ranchers ride in my pickup who drive every brand of truck out there and are all diesel heads and are amazed by what this pick up can do. Contrary to popular belief, the aluminum is better than steel in every way, from being safer for everybody inside, to being more dent resistant with the inability to rust. No matter what they try to say as well, Ford has done a ton of work to make sure that its not more expensive to get fixed than the old style. For example the front quarter panels are the exact same cost to replace in aluminum as they were in steel. When you get below the surface down the the frame and everything else, their isn't a pick up out there that can even come close. No body has a stronger frame or a better designed body to protect everything. Example being that chevy has absolutely nothing protecting the engine compartment and Ford has more protection not only in the front of the truck but everywhere else around it as well. Talking to any Ford dealerships truck expert can show you every little advantage down to the bed bolts instead of the welds like other trucks. Having owned and driven the other competitors and spent the equivalent of weeks studying all trucks from top to bottom, their isn't a better truck that you can buy. When you're spending the extra money on a Ford, it's not just for the name, its for the quality inside and out that no other truck can compare to.

My 2015 F-150 isn't my daily driver so I only have about 1,500 miles on it. I have owned it for 3 months. This is my 3rd F150. The others were almost flawless. I am Ford loyal so despite the misgivings about the aluminum body I bought one. First the good: it drives like a dream. Unbelievably good handling (it has the FX4 package). The interior is very comfortable, even for trips of 2-3 hours. It looks good. Acceleration is excellent with the V8. Now the bad: Within 2 months of ownership someone tried to break in. The police think it was to get to the tailgate (which can only be locked electronically now - bad). The driver window was on order for 2 weeks through the dealer (unacceptable). The dealer complained non-stop about the new aluminum body while I was getting an estimate. The instrument panel is a mess. I viewed it as a weakness when I was test driving it, but had no idea how much I would hate the layout until I bought it. Every button seems misplaced and awkward. The transmission is still a 6 speed and shifts a little oddly (mistimed). The radio and nav are below what I would expect for a Lariat level truck. Mileage is worse than I expected. Not sure Ford did its best with this one, but I will keep it for a while and see if it grows on me.
