They aren't like the older F150s at all. At under 20,000s our new 2015 F150 has been a nightmare and not safe to drive either. Regardless of payload size, road conditions or other factors which would normally effect its handling, shifting, power train, etc the truck has been completely unreliable. It will frequently, without provocation, down or upshift causing dangerous situations in traffic. Ford says this was initially due to the system which tracks my driving habits and that it needed to be reset. Two months later after I completely lost all power on the highway they told me there was a short in the transmission writing harness. The problem has not stopped since that was replaced. They told me next that I was carrying too much weight (about 700 pounds) for the new 'consumer grade' trucks and it must have caused undue stress on the engine. I removed the weight and the problems persisted. The brakes have been unreliable, grabbing at certain intervals despite the mechanics insistence that they are in fine shape. Occasional rocks or mud will cause immense noise to persist from the brakes for days. The fuel saver auto start blew through the starter in under 6 months and now when it shuts off it occasionally refuses to restart. The sync and bluetooth systems are a mess and need to be restarted or reprogrammed on a frequent basis.

Look, I love the truck and Ford I hope you log in and look at these reviews so that through constructive criticism comes updates and improvements. I love everything about the truck except the new key design and it is awkward to say the least. While in your pocket it will set the panic alarm off very often. I mean you lean one way or the other or up against something and the alarm goes off. Also, you cannot throw the key under the mat of the car if you want to lock it in and use the key pad on the drivers door to renter, or at least I don't know how to do that. My 2013 was a breeze, car alarm never set off, lock the key inside the truck and come back and enter code and you were good to go, new one (2015) much harder and cumbersome. Ford, you did more right than wrong and I love the truck! Just look over the new non-key design and improve, it's a bit awkward now.

It is my work truck. Reg cab has little room to store much. Center seat folds down which makes a nice armrest with cup holders. 3.5 NA V6 seems to be a sleepy little engine but north of 3,000 rpm , it " wakes up " and takes off. It actually performs quite well, I can only guess the turbo models are real screamers. The truck has already started making some creaking noises ( I also read this on another forum). Mileage hasn't been great. Maybe 16 around town if I baby it and on the highway, 23.5 was my best. Had two occasions where it all but shut down. Low speed , wouldn't idle over 1,000 rpm and all kinds of warning lights. They ended up replacing the throttle body. Has been fine since. Have hit 26 mpg on a long trip but usually end up in the 21 mpg range for shorter trips. Around town mileage is usually around 14. Have not had any reason to use the 4x4 system yet. The Leer cap ( not Fords problem) has had some fit and finish issues. Had to glue some things back on. Update 4/9/21 2019 F150 4x4 Reg Cab Truck has been good but the mpg is not the best. I rarely use 4x4 or AC. Bed probably has about 800 pounds in it. I barely get into the 20 mpg range in the highway and 13-14-15 around town driving conservatively. For a basic 3.3 V6 , 3.55 rear ended I really expected more. 10/12/2021 Mileage still about the same. Have 12k on it and it runs fine. No issues. Good basic no frills work truck.

Update (8/14/19). Recently sold my F150 for reasons not due to the trucks. Owned it about 14 months and put almost 16,000 miles on it. Not one problem. Drove like a brand new truck when I sold it even at 4 years old and 45,000 miles on the odometer. I liked most everything about the truck except: #1 not having a conventional transmission dipstick to check/change the fluid. Ford (and my dealer) say's lifetime fluid but don't you believe it. #2 I'm not 100% sold on the aluminum body panels. Can get very noisy while driving in the rain. They say the aircraft quality aluminum is stronger than the steel but when you tap on the panels it feels & sounds like plastic. My neighbors Silverado panels sound like metal. Kudos to Ford for being cutting edge but if I had a choice I'd choose steel over aluminum. Have you seen those youtube videos when a newer (2015+) F150 catches fire? They melt. Anyway, I loved my F150 and would buy another one in a second if needed. 2015 XLT, 5.0, V8, 4x4, 301A Pkg, FX4, 5.5 bed. Purchased used w/28k miles. Now has 40k. I am the 2nd owner. Was a certified pre-owned from our local dealer. Wife and I saw this Ruby Red beauty on the lot and fell for it instantly. It had everything we wanted except leather but better grade Katzkin leather can be installed later on. I replaced the half worn Goodyear tires with new Michelin's and so far we have driven it 12k miles without a problem. Been on several long trips. Very comfortable to drive. Love the V8 (not a ecoboost fan) and the gas mileage isn't too bad. The HVAC works great, stereo sounds good and the bluetooth works perfectly. Overall we are very pleased. I can only think of two things I don't like, first is the 5th to 4th downshift harshness everyone else talks about but it only happens every so often, not worth taking a chance the dealer would make things worse. Second is the price of these trucks. I settled for an XLT. The Lariats, King Ranches and Limited's are going for crazy money. I'm hoping it last 10 years or longer to justify the cost.

2.7 ecoboost is amazing

I have a 2015 and 2016 F-150. 5.0L V8 and 2.7L ecoboost. Wish I had gotten both with the 2.7L ecoboost. Average MPG with 2.7 is 23 mpg. Better MPG and response from the 2.7. It has plenty "get up and go". Best engine since the online 6 cyl. Was very reluctant because of the size of the engine. Must drive it to understand what it's capable of. Had a 2015 Silverado with a 5.3 V8. Struggled to pull 7000 lbs. After 2 months traded for another F-150. Far more truck than the Chevy. Sits up much higher than the Chevy and is far more aggressive in deep snow. The F-150 is more expensive, but you get what you pay for.
