A brief summary: a great looking truck with a lot of technology (that sadly doesn't work) Almost fully loaded Lariat. Performance: Acceleration and braking are average; acceleration being modest except when put into Sport mode. Road holding and steering are quite good for a truck. Shifting is sometimes abrupt and not always intuitive (has failed to shift multiple times) Comfort: Road noise reduction is excellent (3.5L Twin Turbo is quiet and tires are exceptionally quiet). Aside from that, seat comfort is average, though not suitable for long drives. Interior: Lots of room for movement. Lots of storage everywhere. The rear cab is obscenely large, much to the joy of passengers. The logic of controls is poor; there are duplicates of buttons, some of which also have soft keys on the display. There is also no need for 6 buttons to operate the cruise control. Safety Features: Incredibly bright headlights (LEDs), the blind spot monitoring system works very well, and the truck itself does not have terrible blind spots. The traction is sub-par in weather (snow/ice/rain) and gets squirrelly easily (even with 4WD/AWD) Tech: All seems about average. The voice commands load quickly, only minor issues are with the entertainment center; radio occasionally cuts out and the sub-woofer audio package is incredibly underwhelming, along with trouble connecting to devices. All sections of Reliability were given a 1 star, as nothing has been reliable. I have spent more time than I would care to admit driving a loaner Focus, and found that to be incredibly reliable. Repair frequency has been more the 2x a month. Dealership support has been decent, though most issues are unable to be resolved or the dealer simply resets the computer (which does not solve anything other than clearing codes). Engine is incredibly unreliable. It stalls, it doesn't start (often) and it lies about it's fuel mileage. Transmission can shift worse than I did when I was learning to drive a Semi. Technicians have said the transmission "learns," but I would say it is "learning" the wrong way (getting worse). Electronics have literally shut off while the engine was running. This included power breaks and steering. Ford said it was nothing to be concerned about. Currently has spent 53 days in repair since purchase for anything from minor defects (radio cutting out, AC on seat getting hot and melting, etc) to completely unacceptable defects (engine stalls/dies while driving or idle-ing, ALL electronics TURN OFF while truck is on, etc). Obviously a lemon, but not according to Ford, which has been very un-helpful concerning their responsibility to consumers, State and Federal laws (yes, lawyers are involved). All in all, 1/10 never buying a Ford again. (1 is for looks)

well like many conscientious shoppers that do their research before they buy something that costs a lot of money. I have approximately 25k miles on it and so far not one problem! the 5.0 is very responsive and I am averaging 19mpg in mixed driving. on a long 600 mile trip I averaged 21mpg @70mph.i pull a 21ft camper that weighs about 5000 lbs. loaded and it pulls it with no problem averaging about 15mpg doing 65mph. the transmission shifts very smoothly a lot smoother than my previous Toyota Tacoma did. I recently had a test of the brakes when it was raining and a dog ran out in front of me and I slammed on the brakes. the abs worked wonderfully and I am happy to say that the dog will live to see another day because of that wonderful safety feature! the ride is pretty good for a truck maybe not lexus like but very good on a long trip. I love the backup camera and the parking sensors they have saved me a couple of times already. and hitching up my camper is nice once you get the hang of it. the a/c will run you out of it even when its 100 degrees outside. I love the oil monitoring system and even though the dealer wants me to come in every 5000 miles for an oil change I find that I can comfortably go 7500 miles using full synthetic oil. all in all I like my f-150 and plan on keeping it for many years. we will see about the long term reliability and hopefully this truck will last 200 or maybe even 300k miles? I have been noticing that I see far more older ford trucks on the road than I do of chevy or dodge. I recently saw an old guy driving what must have been a 1969 ford f-100 ranger it was a little rusty but it was still running great. says a lot about ford products. just my two cents worth. well updating my previous review. I now have 42,000 miles on the truck now. still no real problems!! very little maintenance other than oil changes performed by the dealer. I am getting ready to update the front brakes with some slotted/vented rotors and some premium semi-metallic brake pads. I would buy another F-150 without reservation. so far the re-sale value has held up. my truck is still worth 25k$ according to KBB. well my updated review is that I now have 51000 on the truck and so far no issues but regular synthetic oil changes @ the dealer Loganville Ford. I also recently had the dealer change the rear end oil because I do tow a 8000lb. trailer from time to time. I will probably have the transmission serviced around 60 or 70,000 miles because I plan on keeping the truck for a long time. the sync system does act a little crazy from time to time, but no real big deal there. mechanically the truck has been very reliable . I did upgrade the front disks to some slotted and drilled ones with some premium semi-metallic brake pads. it did improve my braking!! overall I would buy this truck again and I think ford makes a quality product . I previously owned a Toyota Tacoma which was a really good vehicle and I owned a Toyota Camry which went 300k miles. I hope to get 300k from my F-150?? time will tell!! well I have 63000 miles now as of 9-15-19 and so far its been a good truck. just regular maintenance . transmission fluid change @59k and new spark plugs@61k. I also put a new flowmaster dual exhaust on it, which makes the V-8 sound awesome. would I buy it again. yes I would! well i am here to update my review on 9/18/21. truck has almost 79 k miles and the only real problem I have has is a a/c/heater diverter motor that went bad(clicking noise) cost about 300 bucks for dealer to replace. other than that my 5.0 seems to keep right on purring. hoping to get 300k miles out of my baby!!!

Great truck with a peppy efficient engine

Great truck with a peppy efficient engine, the 2.7L engine is surprisingly powerful and extremely quick off the line, I love the engine on this truck! I average a little over 21 MPG with mixed freeway and around town driving conditions. I have tried to be excessively light on the accelerator but have not even close to the advertised 23-24 MPG, they must have done the MPG testing where there are no hills, wind, and on any engine that was well broken in. Overall though I really like the truck. The one thing that could use improvement is the instruments. Climate control could have a digital read out ( ex. 72) versus hotter/colder. Browsing on the radio ( Sirius in particular) is a little clumsy. The dash seems to have a lot of unnecessary buttons. My biggest complaint is the autostart button, just plain annoying and screams replacement starter in 2 years. To have and turn it off every time you start the truck is silly, they should have a permanent off option. Overall pretty small complaints for for what has been a great truck. 7/25/2016- had to get the door handle replaced, it literally just fell off. Ford was quick to replace at no cost. Very happy with the way they handled it. Considered selling for better MPG vehicle with new job change, but I am completely upside down. The truck is worth considerably less than I paid for it, definitely does not hold value like my Toyota did. If you buy this truck be prepared to keep it since value tanks very quickly.

First Ford, First Truck, Couldn't be Happier

2015 Ford F-150 Platinum 4dr SuperCrew 4WD 6.5 ft. SB (5.0L 8cyl 6A)
8 of 9 people found this review helpful
This is a great truck. Never owned one to compare it to but buddies have them and I grew up around them so am familiar with their positives and negatives. Ride comfort is great. Technology packages work as described. My wife loves it so why would I complain. Traded in a 2013 Wrangler and the difference in hauling/towing capacity as well as ride comfort and style make this a great purchase. Not to mention I get better MPGs in my F150 than I did in my former Wrangler. The dual panel glass roof really sold me, good work there Ford. Overall I highly recommend to anyone looking for a truck. At least take one for a spin. Go for the 5.0 V8. Same if not better than TT ecoboost.

2015 f150 Platinum 3.5L, disappointed...

Owned the 2015 f150 Platinum 3.5L Ecoboost for 9 months/14,000 miles, 3/2016 sold 11/2016. Being 6'5" could never get comfortable compared to the previous 10 f150's and 2 f250's owned. Lane departure stopped working 2 months into ownership, front rotors have gouges, right side of windshield had a waviness blemish between ply's, engine developed an oil seep, seat backs are thin, you can feel all of the controls, wires etc. for the massaging seats in the back and they squeak. Cooled seats stink, heat works well. Drivers seat leather starting to fade and all seats are so slick that all contents end up on floor under moderate braking. AND the aluminum body, forget it, it actually looks like it has dents/ripples all over IMO, creases around door handles, poor fit and finish and the hood actually bounces going down the road due to min stiffeners. Using adaptive cruise control on the highway, around corners, can be tricky if there is slower traffic in the lane next to you, the FLIR see's the traffic as being in your lane and clamps on the brakes, not a warm and fuzzy feeling. Ride is horrible over rough roads and the back end is so light it feels dangerous but man is she quiet inside if the sun roof rails aren't squeaking (requires several opens and closes to "reset" it. When standing in the bed you can hear it bend, moan and groan, I am only 215 lbs. MY BAD for dropping 49k on the POS! live and learn. Traded it in for a 2013 f150 5.0. LOVE the 2013... LED's are way cool though, that's about it... I am in aviation and pay extreme attention to detail and baby all of my vehicles. Again, I'm a Ford guy for life and thought "stepping up" to the Platinum I would be ecstatic, boy was I wrong.
