5 1/2 years still a great truck

2017 Ford F-150 XL 4dr SuperCrew 4WD 5.5 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful

I’ve had this F150 for 5 1/2 years, I’ve put 75k on her, still averaging little better than 20 mpg and never once has the tiny 2.7 Ecoboost engine disappointed me when I mash gas, like pony cars of the late 60’s this thing will zip. Only thing I’ve had to do is put rear brakes on, a set of tires and change the oil, that’s all. The truck rides great, the transmission shift flawlessly, most the time I take it easy, but when you need it all 375 foot pounds of torque are on hand to get around someone or to accelerate onto the highway. Seats are comfortable but drivers seat showing a little wear. Hate the start stop, but that’s easily cut off with dash mounted button. Was lil worried about 5.5 foot bed, but so far hauled easily everything I’ve need to haul! You sit up high with a commanding view around you. It’s not only a great around town truck, but a awesome highway cruiser, in my 59 years this is absolutely my favorite vehicle, Ford knows how to build a comfortable dependable pretty economical full size pickup and I couldn’t happier, my truck was built at Ford’s Kansas City plant and I Thank every one that had a hand building this truck, might be a lowly XL, but for me it’s been perfect!!!❤️❤️❤️ Even my wife loves driving it, the grandkids love riding in it, tons of room and even after 5 1/2 years it still gets compliments on the Race Red Paint. My next truck will be another F159 STX in Race Red, but I’ll look for a front bench instead of a console get 1 more grandchild in it😀 again I Love this Truck!!!

Poor way to get a new truck

2017 Ford F-150 Lariat 4dr SuperCrew 4WD 5.5 ft. SB (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
24 of 28 people found this review helpful

I went to sleep and rolled and totaled my 2013 Platinum. That truck handled the wreck so well in keeping me safe, I thought Ford is the way to go. My new Lariat with the 3.5L V6 and 10 speed transmission is not a step down. It is a step up from the 2013. It has everything the Platinum had an much more. I do a lot of freeway driving. The 3.5L V6 and the 10 speed make the entry to the 75 MPH line of traffic easy and safe. Shazam, it is quick. I added a spray-in , a Tonneau top, and power running boards. It is like driving a royal limo. In the initial 1500 miles, the average is 20.8 mpg, up 5 mpg from the 2013 Platinum. I would have a hard time listing all the superlatives that cross my mind about this truck. Quick, quiet, comfortable, well appointed, love the auto high beams, improved rear camera, voice activated navigation, and on and on. After 25,000 miles, my attitude and appreciaion for this F150 has not changed. If anything, it has been enhanced with tie and usage. Since I do a lot of freeway driving, I really like the quick aceleration from the entrance ramp to the line of traffic, The yellow warning light in the side mirror has been very helpful in my avoiding accidents with vehicles in my blind spot. Safety enhancments are overdue and worthwhile. Update: After 12,000 very enjoyable miles, a six point buck decided to jump out of the bush on the side of the road and smack me on the point of the right front fender. It was so quick there was no time to respond. The deer went flying into the ditch and left me with $5000+ damage. Compliments to Henson Ford Body Shop. Can't tell it ever happened. It looks great and handles as smoothly as before. After the rental car, this Ford is a dream. Perhaps the old adage is true, "absence makes the heart grow fonder". When choosing the model on this template, I was not given the option of choosing the 3.5L V6 Ecoboost, but this truck has that engine.

Great Truck with Goofy Security System

I have a 2WD V-8 which was not an option in the model drop-down. I have only owned this truck for two months, so I could not comment on a lot of the questions such as repair frequency, etc. My initial impression of this truck is very positive except for one feature that is so idiotic that it is hard to believe. The design of the driver's door handle and key lock makes the 2017 F-150 extremely easy to break into. The lock cylinder is mounted on the door handle, not on the door. When you pull the door handle out to open the door, you can look behind the door handle and see the lock cylinder. To break into the truck, you just need to pull the door handle out, slip a pair of pliers behind the handle over the lock cylinder, and turn it. Doing so enables you to unlock the truck, open the door, and get in within a couple of seconds without tripping any alarms. I had a weapon stolen from my truck at a restaurant. When the police arrived, they went right to the door lock and showed me how it looked like it was off center. The police say they see this all the time with the new F-150s. How could Ford engineers come up with something so stupid? The fix is to replace the driver's handle and lock cylinder with one designed for the passenger door. This fixes this bug, but leaves you exposed to difficulties getting into the truck if your truck battery ever runs down completely. If this happens, you have to either break a window to open the hood or have the truck towed to the dealer. Wow, what a monumental goof!!!! See the Ford F-150 Forum for a discussion of this problem ( https://www.f150forum.com ).

2017 Ford F-150 Limited 4dr SuperCrew 4WD 5.5 ft. SB (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

I have a 2017 limited 4x4. after 1 year all I can say is that it is by far the best truck I've ever owned or seen. it is comfortable ,easy to drive and holy cow the power....... The 3.5 twin turbo with the 10 speed is so strong.375 hp and 470 torque it is fast.....super sexy styling inside and out...the only complaint are the tires. they are great on dry and wet pavement, but if you live in a snowy area like I do, the Perrelli scorpions are not very good and with 22 inch rims options are limited. that being said I got a better tire and I love this truck. a little more money than a lariat, but with almost all option standard its worth it.
