December 2024, 160k miles. The only things I have replaced on this truck are routine maintenance items and a starter motor. Gas mileage is still good. Love it. November 2021 At 135k and still flawless. Plan on keeping till it won't run anymore! Put a snowsport plow on 3 years ago and love it. June 2020.... At 100k now and haven't even changed a spark plugs yet (but she is due). Still smooth sailing. Love it. . Addendum*** It's been a few years of ownership now. 60k miles later... Still hands down my favorite truck. Gas mileage held steady, zero nagging maintenance issues, and the first car I've loves as much 2.5 years later as the day I bought it. A+ Very happy with my 2016 XLT supercrew. The 302a option package is great. Other than a lack of NAV (don't we all have a phone these days anyway??) the tech is great. Rides nice. Very quiet for a truck. Twin turbo V-6 will make you forget about the V-8. Dash and interior are good but I think the steering wheel quality is poor to the touch and eye. The appearance of the fast and highly functional Sync 3 screen is hideous. Most people set it to night mode full time to lose the blue on blue format. Ford....update this asap please! My wifi is waiting. Baby the heck out of it and maybe come close to advertised mileage. I'm getting 20.1 mixed but haven't seen 23 highway. Sport mode is the top choice around town. Good feel, no loss of mpg if you drive normally. Shifting in regular mode can be clunky and lug a bit until you pedal it. Overall I'm happy. A-

Just Wow. Never bought a Ford truck before. $10,000 in rebates knocked down the 2016 F150 to 40,000. Nice Tacomas are $34-39,000. Just yuck for a small truck. And I love Tacomas. This Ruby red, ELT, 4x4, high end tow package, Nav, power/heated seats, 4 wheel discs, 3.5 TWIN TURBO, 365HP, 410 FPT, is just an amazing, beautiful truck. I call her "Big Sexy." The brand-new, huge, Clarksville TN dealership is unreal and they don't play. Always want to make a deal and make the customer happy. Bought it Saturday and have zero regrets. I did not want the leather, center console (I can seat six), or sunroof. The cloth seats are thick and firm with lumbar. It still came with a locker and the crazy Ford trailer backup feature. I only added on the flipping modular tonneau cover which locks into the rails, comes with drain tubes so your stuff doesn't get wet, and is secure for your cargo because the tailgate in this baby locks. It was $1100. I looked it up online and suppliers sell a similar one for 1800-2000. My wife and daughter both easily drove it because it came with running boards, the seats can move WAY up, and the pedals can also move electronically front or back. UPDATE: I now have 24,000 easy miles on the truck. The giant gas tank has a fantastic range on the highway. Had two minor Ford recalls which the dealer took care of. No issues, no mechanical problems. Still love the truck. UPDATE: 20 SEP 19. 32,000 miles now. Still zero issues. I sure am glad I bought it when I did because the new F-150s offer nothing more and cost a LOT more. The thing is a damn rocket, but I rarely push the pedal to the floor unless merging onto the highway. MPG is 18.1 around town and 22 highway (going 75-80mph).

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.

The truck has a lot of power and that is about it for the good. Now for the bad. I had a leaking timing cover from day one that was fixed under warranty and then I had to go back for a stretched harmonic balancer bolt, or it wasn't tightened enough after the repair. I have had a rough idle and surging feeling while driving at low acceleration. Drives me insane! This thing idles worse then my 98 Silverado. It didn't do it for the first 8K miles so I find that hard to believe. I also had to have the turbo replaced on the drivers side because of a coolant leak. Ford tells you that everything is normal so they don't have to correct it. Do yourself a favor and research rough idle and coking intake valves. The truck has depreciated 20k in 11 months so resale is horrible. Good luck if you buy one but I would stay far away!!!!!! All of this has happened in 11 months and 24k miles.

I traded a 2012 f15 same as my 16. Handled, rode, and towed my travel trailer way better than the 16. Shift points suck! The truck came with a tow package without a locking rear end, and the extremely low load rating on the tires make it a handling nightmare towing my 28ft travel trailer. Ford lost a customer on this one.
