Only the second new vehicle out of six that I have purchased new that did not require going back to the dealer for some kind of follow up work or minor issue in the first few weeks of ownership. Gas mileage is a bit better than I expected. Very comfortable and quiet entire. Handles and corners quite well for a full size pickup. Both the V8 and the transmission shift points are very smooth, difficult to feel any vibration when touching the engine while it idles. On a flat engine surface you can balance a nickel on edge at idle. That used to be a claim for Rolls Royce engines. Well it's a little over 10,000 miles on the odometer and I've had it back to the dealership twice. Once for the free first oil change and the second time for the NYS Safety Inspection, which it passed with no problems. There is currently one minor issue that has happened about five times and that is the LED radio/phone/nav display in the center of the dash will sometimes not light up after starting; it turns out the touch sensitive controls will still work, if you could only see them. Driving a little bit and then shutting the engine off and restarting or a reboot of the of the info system while driving will reset it and it's back to working properly. I love having a truck. I now wish I would have purchased one years ago instead of the last two SUVs I had. I had a topper put on and built a raised platform for easy access to the underneath storage and the ability to sleep on the flat and carpeted back for a few days of camping. I've had as high as 24.1 mpg on a flat country road at 55 mph between two towns about 30 mi apart, lowest was 14 mpg for a week of only the 5 mile one-way trips to work in the middle of winter in upstate NY (so never got warmed up), and it's pretty easy to average between 18 to 19 mpg overall for the majority of my normal driving. On a round trip of 1,500 miles of mostly interstate driving between 75 and 80 mph I averaged 21 mpg. That was more than one mpg over what I was expecting so very happy with that.

Took my 2010 F150 XLT Truck into the dealer for an oil change. The dealer has you pull in for a walk around inspection to cover their butt. I joked about an appraisal. This was in August of 2016 with 35000 miles on a 2010 trade in value was great. While waiting I got talking with Glenn the salesman who sold me the truck. He said you looking for a new one, I said you don’t have the one I want. He says he could find the one I want by from another dealer. I described that I wanted a 2016 Fire Bronze F150 Lariat with the 501A package and V8 engine. My order was filled a day later on 8/31/16. Chrome package,leather interior, moon roof, floor shifter with all the features I wanted. Having 395 hp. This truck can hit and get on the highway. Quiet ride, handles great with the sport mode feature. The auto/ manual transmission button shift came in handy one snowy night before the salt truck were dispatched. All in all Iove my 2016 Lariat and would recommend it. Fast forward to April 2021 with 34,500 miles on the odometer. I took her in for an oil change and complaint of a noise in right front wheel. They ended up changing the front right hub along with left. I’m thinking it was going to cost me an easy $1000. When I asked the price service manager said zero as it was covered by the extended warranty. That was on my birthday to boot so he knocked $10 off for a total of $40 toward the oil change. I had to take her in for the door latch recall but other than gas,oil and tires and brakes. This is my third Ford F 150 and would by a fourth when the time comes.

Bought this truck used at CarMax in 2019. 4 wheel drive super cab Lariat with the 5.0 v-8. I really liked the truck. I have had smaller Japanese trucks in the past. Was excited about the larger cab to haul friends and family. My son was driving the truck to work 3 months ago, (ironically because the motor in his GMC Denali had died). Truck shuddered and started misfiring he thought. His office was right next store to a Ford dealer. He got them to come and look at it with scanner. Misfiring in cylinders 4 and 8. Needs injectors. Ok go ahead and fix it. But wait, no compression in cylinder 4. Motor is toast. $8,000 for crate motor. No warranty left. Truck is in excellent shape so I said go ahead and fix it. But wait, no motors available. They do not know when one will be available. Truck has been sitting at the dealer for 4 months waiting for an engine. Could be 6 to 12 months per the dealer. Once the motor is fixed I am selling the truck. The Ford experiment is over. It is a shame because the truck is otherwise a good product. I like the design and the features. Going back to Japanese. Sorry. Tried to buy American and I got nothing to show for it. I will stick with Toyota thank you very much.
Limp mode

Had the pleasure of my vehicle going into "limp mode" then shutting itself down. 500$ tow, 2000 estimate from Ford. I bought the 40$ temp sensor and installed it myself. Only needed to remove the wheel well and tire to reach it. This is perhaps the most idiotic thing I've ever seen done to a truck. I am so mad.
