Used 2017 Ford F-150 SuperCab Consumer Reviews
Replaced a 2007 Ranger
Amazing that a 385 horsepower V8 in the F150 gets the same gas mileage as the V6 in my 2007 Ranger did. I love this truck, no complaints other than weak headlights. Great deal, sticker was $46,800, paid $11,800 less. Update: Now after 2 years and 25,000 miles still love my F150. Have had no problems or issues with it. After several long road trips have found the seats to be very comfortable, AC more than adequate for 100F days. Getting 21 MPG on long trips, 17 mpg on my 23 mile commute to work. Have bought a 24' travel trailer, about 6,000 lbs. loaded. Pulls it easily, gas mileage drops to about 11 mpg, however. After 32,000 miles now, still going strong with no problems, just needing regular oil changes. Due to Covid no commute in over a year so still only has 37,500 miles, going strong. No complaints, did put on new tires, Firestone Destination XT, much better offroad and snow than the OEM Goodyears. UPDATE: After 6 years there is still a lot to like about my truck. The only problem has been a frozen door latch when it got down to 14F, and a recall fixed that. The original brake pads are still not worn out, and with the 5.0 V8 I get 16-18 mpg around town, 21 on the highway. Pulling our 25’ trailer it’s 11, still a range of 396 miles with the 36 gallon tank. Having done many trips I find the seats to be very comfortable, the ride smooth and quiet. The “type” was not listed, it’s actually a SuperCab XLT V8 5.0, 4X4 with 6.5’ bed.

I love this truck.
I leased a fairly low-spec XL model to tow my 5000 lb. boat and I chose one off the lot. I’m really glad the dealer ordered it with the 2.7 Ecoboost over the base engine; it’s well worth the $995 premium. Excellent acceleration as well as highway power. It’s amazing that this engine is exactly half the displacement of a V-8 5.4 liter Expedition I previously leased yet it produces 25 more horsepower and more torque. I just completed a trip of almost 3000 miles with the boat in tow. I had no problem cruising at 80 mph with ample power for passing. The reduced weight of this aluminum truck is listed at only 4400 lbs on my registration. The seats in this basic model were remarkably comfortable for both myself and my passenger for a long day of driving. I never had to alter my position to avoid discomfort, cramping, or pain. The only seats I’ve ever experienced that are as comfortable for all day driving are in my S class Mercedes sedan. What people say about the Ecoboost is correct; it’s a powerful, economical engine, just not both at the same time. If you go lightly on the gas with nothing in tow, it gets better than 20mpg but if you use the more than ample power, it uses as much or/more gas than a V-8. Rear seat comfort was adequate for adult passengers for short trips. I love the Sync3 system that permits my phone’s navigation system to appear on screen but I hate Apple for restricting it to their map program and not Google. I hear that Waze is being added however. Also, the phone keypad won’t work when truck is in motion, which sucks. Try responding to an automated call when you can’t enter a single digit, even though it is much less distracting than doing many touchscreen functions that are permitted. I’ve had one problem with the truck that Ford can’t seem to solve yet. On cold mornings, the rear camera won’t work. As soon as the vehicle warms up, it works and there is no problem if the temperature is above about 45 degrees. My dealer has been unable to fix.

Four Years In -I love my truck
My 2017 Lariet is now four years old with 57,000 miles and it drives like it is brand new! Never had any issues with it and have hauled trailers across the country twice now. It is as smooth a ride as the day I bought it. This is my first Ford product and now I wondered why I never considered a Ford in past decades. I wanted a full size truck with blind spot monitors and at the time, Ford was the only truck offering that option! No regrets, expect to keep this truck for many years.

Ford #1
The seats are very comfortable for us, me 6-4 her 5-7. The ride is great. The back doors folding all the way back and completely opening up the passenger compartment is awesome for loading. One recall to keep the door locks from freezing. Power is impressive. I get 21-22 in both local and hwy driving. Been to the dealer several times to check this out. Hwy rating 26. Speed kills the mileage. We did a loop in Main on state hwys 60 max, through a few small towns, got 27.5 actual, Ford shows about 7% high on average. We get about 12 mpg pulling our 4000# Micro Mini at 60 – 65. If I try to jump off the line the tires break loose at maybe 1/3 throttle. At 60 6th 1500, 5th 1800, 4th 2400, 3rd 3000 RPM. I can lock out top gears and unless it is very flat or a tail wind I lock out 6th pulling the camper. It takes a pretty steep grade to hit 3rd, and stay out of the way it’s holding speed. Passed semis barely moving. Drives so well, my wife tows the camper on open road to give me a break. She spoke up going through Texas, “oh I am going 80”. I thought “we are burning lots of gas”. Have 62K using 10K oil changes, and oil does not seem to go down. I like the displays and Sync. The individual tire pressures are great. Had a low pressure light come on. Switched to the pressure screen. I knew to stop as the pressure dropped every few seconds, saved the tire. I recently drove a friends 21 V8 Silverado. The power was not anywhere close to mine! Glad I am not stuck with it. Nov 2022 update: Finally added oil at 67,000 miles. Hopefully not a trend. Replaced the the tires at 75K. No body rust so far. 5-22-24: Over 90-K now Rear transmission seal and pinion seal have slow leaks. Parts will be less than $30. Have not added oil again.
