Start-Stop Tech Belongs in a Prius not in a Truck

Pros: Great acceleration and driving dynamics. Quiet interior. Comfortable seats. The seats in the back pull up and you have a perfectly flat space in the back, I hauled a dresser back there that I didn't want to get wet. Cons: One: Start-Stop tech is super annoying!!! Does not belong in a truck! Go buy a Prius not a truck. There is no way to permanently turn it off. Two: The Sync 3 system is horrible. It constantly drops my Bluetooth connection. I tried three different phones. Same thing, Bluetooth randomly drops connection. My Camry never dropped the Bluetooth connection. Three: I had the XLT Luxury package and it came with these tiny little wheels. The Ram for the same price came with 20" wheels. Overall: Although I liked the feeling and drive of the truck, the annoying sync system and the start stop-start tech was enough for me to get rid of it.

i have owned fords my whole driving life from ford mustangs to ford f150 trucks.. the 2016 is sad. i have owned it 6 months and its been it the shop 3 times. the latches freeze so when you open your door you can't get it shut and when you finally get it to close you might not get it back open. the other day my radio quit working for the day and the next day it started working again. the trim on the driver side rear door came messed up from factory. i emailed ford directly about the latches they are on back order with no eta date. i asked them to send me a hammer to break the window if i couldn't get the door open. they provide no rentals for this problem. unfortunately i am stuck in the lease for 3 years if i would have bought it outright it would be sitting with a "for sale" sign on it

Platinum is not worth the price if want to tow

We bought this truck new-although 2016 as not licensed prior to us. The ratings for towing and mileage were way off. We have a travel trailer that dealer salesman said it should pull without a problem. Guess they had not tested that theory. Took it over some small mountains and if we wanted to go anywhere near speed limit had to be in manual and 3rd or 4th gear and 5000 RPM to come any way close to the the speed limit and then the MPG was 6-7. Otherwise when had it in automatic lucky to get it to go 45 mph. Even does not accelerate quickly when not towing something and still MPG 12. Looks pretty and has all the creature comforts but that is not what we bought the truck for. 3 weeks after got it when and traded and got new Silverado. Very expensive lesson.

Have had Suburbans and Tahoes, but wanted a plain old pick up so went with the Ford. I traded in a e550 Mercedes and I say that because I don't miss it a bit. At 6/3 285 pounds I am not a small guy and love the room inside this cab. The bells and whistles are enough that I really don't miss the Benz or the Lexus I had before it. Really the only two complaints are 1) the fuel consumption is much more than they advertise. The 20 around town and 18/25 is a joke!!. I get around 16 combined with it being about a 65/35 split--city to highway. My only other complaint is the AC. Wish it were stronger. I usually drive with it on and it is one big cabin and when it is 95 outside it struggles to really get the temp down inside and the fan switch sets right behind the shift lever in the middle bottom of the dash panel. Mind you the air is sufficient just not icy cold. Those are my two complaints, neither all that serious. Truck rides very nice, good punch if you put your foot in it and with the large fuel tank can easily get over 550 miles on a tank and might easily top 650 if I ever just had it on the highway all day. There is a TON of room in the back of the cab, the seats fold up very easily, my dog runs around in the back like he owns the truck. Otherwise, had it 6 months and really no complaints and love driving it.

I love my F-150 SuperCrew

This is my third F-150 SuperCrew. I have been happy with the first two, but the 2016 takes that up several notches. Other than the multitude of bells and whistles, the first thing i noticed was the quietness and smoothness of the ride. The instrument panel provides a lot of information in a very readable display. The loading ramps are a great design. If I have one disappointment, it is with the way the bed extender fence is mounted to the truck - the tail lights must be removed to access the nut that holds the mounting screw in place. I wasn't sure about the Eco-boost engine, but the sales guy recommended it, and I am not disappointed. It seems to have plenty of power and acceleration. I get a lot of ooh and ahs when I show my truck to my friends, and some say that a truck shouldn't be this luxurious.
