What should have been just a scrape turned into a major body repair. My son was parking this large truck in tight spaces at his college parking garage. While making a turn he scraped a concrete column. With most cars (certainly trucks) this would have been an ugly scrape - probably would require repairs for cosmetic reasons. However the aluminum body literally tore open around the rear door handle. The side of the truck bed literally buckled. I expect, with the typical steel body truck he could have driven around with an ugly scrape until not taking classes and convenient to repair. Now we have to get it fixed asap to avoid water getting in through the gash in the body, etc. After less than 500 miles the windshield washer pump stopped working. The service people were helpful enough to take it in on a Saturday and replace the pump at no charge or deductible. The auto stop/start also stopped working. I don't think its needed so much, but I need to get it diagnosed to make sure there is not some issue with the electronics. The dash display says "vehicle is charging". With less than 1,000 miles on the truck not so happy with having to schedule repairs and dealer appointments.

Worst car I've owned

Drove off the lot with vibration. Dealer said normal even though it's obviously not. Bought an angle finder and found 4.5 degree working angle for transaxle-to-driveshaft and .5 degree working angle at pinion-to-driveshaft. Working angles should be 1 degree at least or you'll wear out u-joints. Working angles should be within 1 degree or you'll have vibration. While trying to get that fixed, 5.0 engine developed a tick at idle and a clacking sound in the passenger side valvetrain. All of this and I have 2,200 miles on a brand new truck. Dealer today argued it all drives and sounds normal, of course. Run as fast as you can from the F-150. They are not what they used to be. In fact, this is my third new Ford since 2013 and they've been nothing but headaches. 28 years of driving Fords since age 16. Today, done with Ford for good. Their cars are junk now.

Just missing a couple key things!

First, this review is for the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost, but they don't have that selectable for the Platinum 4WD SuperCrew (odd?). I got this trim level with the optional 701A equipment group, because I first and foremost absolutely wouldn't go without adaptive (radar based) cruise after using it for the last 5 years on my Chrysler 300. To that, it performs grandly (much better than the crappy laser(?) based one on my 2015 Toyota Sequoia Platinum). I've been a Chevrolet owner for 22+ years and never cared for Ford interior but LOVED the company. I finally found one I love enough to buy, and I really do like this vehicle. Still, there are a few things I wish they would just ever so slightly change: 1) Make the adaptive hi-beam headlights bright only operate when switched to hi beams. I can over-ride it when it is constantly switching in an urban environment by turning off adaptive hi-beams in the setup, or by turning the knob to just "ON". :( That isn't real practical or helpful. I would much rather just switch it between "Lo Beam" and "Adaptive" on the stick. You can force it for 60 seconds, but that is all. Minor, I'll just turn it off, and not have feature, but seems easy to accommodate in software. 2) I would like the ability to enable an audio beep-beep warning on the Blind Spot Detection when you engage the blinker in and something is there. Too often I miss the small amber blinking in the mirror. This feels like it would be easily updated in software, as they audibly warn you when a vehicle is approaching when in reverse, just like I would like. 3) I miss not having front ultrasonic parking sensors that I have on Chrysler 300. I've looked and searched the manual, and I'm not sure how they do the auto park, but don't have those? I've checked, and pulled up until I lightly bumped a wall, and nothing...no sound. 4) No lit gear indicator on the gear shift (or more limited physical shifting pattern). It sucks to have a label for the gears right next to the shifter, but no indicator showing which one you are in, or some physical jog left right before dropping into M-2-1, at least? When the truck is dark, you really can't see if it is in D or N or M when engaging. At least my Chrysler also made the shifter only go P-R-N-D (stop, and then slap it right into Manual with up down shift). But this has P-R-N-D-M-2-1 all in a soft clicking line, and it is easy to go right past D...and no cue (without looking up at the instrument panel). :(

Spacious Interior, Smooth Ride, Incredible Resale!

My 2008 Benz C300 which was bought new had horrible resale, losing more than 60% of its value after four years of ownership. After spotting a $10,000-off ad in the newspaper for a brand-new 2012 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4, I walked in the dealership and bought it on the spot, getting rid of my Benz in the meantime. That dealership had plenty of used F-150's that were a few years older and priced higher than the brand-new one I had my eyes on. Four years later, I traded it in for a brand-new 2016 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 and learned my 2012 lost only 20% of its value. The initial $10,000 discount helped and my 2016 was also discounted by $10,000 which will also help with the resale. Between the new 2008 Benz and new 2012 F-150, the difference was about $15,000 after four years. The impressive resale was sufficient enough for me to not consider a different brand. The 2016 F-150 was all-new compared to the 2012 with more safety features and had Sync3 which allowed me to plug in my cellphone and my phone's screen automatically went over to the 8-inch touch screen on the dashboard. I no longer had to fumble with my phone. My 2016 does not have the optional navigation but it is moot when my phone's Google Maps work on the touch screen. Waze just started working so that means it can keep me updated to any problems ahead of the road. I would not get that with the optional navigation system. The interior is spacious, and I have the optional plugs where I can plug in appliances using 110v AC. There are also places to plug in USB. The optional center console has plenty of storage space and there are two cupholders for the back seats, two for the front seats, and there's plenty of space for me to put in my phone and everything else out of my pockets. The shifter is on the column so without the console gear selector, there's even more space. The V-8 is smooth with plenty of power. The gas mileage is not too bad, I've been averaging at 22 mpg on the highway at 65 mph and the overall average with about 60% city driving is around 18 mpg. Since I drive less than 4,000 miles a year, I did not want the more expensive EcoBoost engine. The 4x4 is a very capable system, I have driven it on muddy roads in Mexico when it started pouring like crazy and the F-150 handled it like a champ. The trailer assist is very convenient! It was an option I did not want but it was the one with the $10,000 discount, but I am glad it came with it! I can use the knob to steer my truck while backing up with a trailer which can be quite confusing for some. I'm not that good with a trailer but the trailer assist makes me a pro! It now has 8,000 miles and I have never had any problems. My 2012 had 39,000 miles without any problems whatsoever and I don't expect my 2016 to be any different.

Gas mileage should not be a point of contention when purchasing a truck, but, with that being said, the 2016 F-150 5.0 v8 does actually get decent gas mileage for a truck. It's fast as well. The aluminum body plus the 385 hp makes the truck seem very light and quick. Very spacious inside. High quality interior design and materials. No other truck on the market looks as good or feels as good as the interior of the 2016 F-150. With two 120V power outlets, usb ports, and bluetooth, I give the entertainment system a full 5 star rating. I have had this truck for over a year now and have looked and looked for something to complain about and I have yet to find a single thing. Ford knows what they are doing. There are many reasons why the Ford F-150 has been the best selling vehicle in America for the past 40 years, and each year that list grows longer and longer.
