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.

Just purchased a 2wd XL with the STX package and some extra goodies. Sync 3, power windows/locks, backup camera, 20inch rims, towing we’re all a part of this at $23,995. Factor in our trade value of $7,500 and adding an auto start and a set of studded tires for the winter to it (not totally uneducated) and also a warranty and we sat back at just under $22k for a pretty sweet setup. Driving with the 2.7 was remarkable with power everywhere and smooth shifts from the 6-speed and decent sound from motor. Cabin is remarkably quiet and pleasant with enough soft touch items to make it feel more upscale. With the car market now this was an extremely unusual score at close to $7k under book after options so we were willing to accept 2wd with some help from studded tires in the winter. Keep in mind this is typically not what I’d recommend for those that haven’t been here for long periods of time! If you’re looking for a good truck then ford is probably the way to go. Keep in mind they tend to be more expensive due popularity, parts availability and the market share of vehicles they sell. With so many configurations you’re bound to find something you like. Will post an update here in the winter months with some predictable wording based on studded tire experience

I recently bought my 2017 F150 in April of 2021 and traded in my precious vehicle for something bigger. Although I love everything about the engine (2.7L EcoBoost), the ride, and the smoothness, I have had one thing that concerned me. Whenever I approach a stop sign, red light, etc. my vehicle lights to “jerk” or “clunk” right before coming to a stop. I can hear it and feel it. Sometimes it is more noticeable and sometimes not as noticeable. I have brought it to dealerships and other shops and no one can replicate the action which is infuriating. I wish i could know what it is. I am hoping it’s not the (6 speed) transmission. It might be the slip yoke but I am not sure. Wish Ford could not have these small problems with their expensive trucks.

Really not a "Ford" person. However, I kept seeing many F-150 pickups at the traffic lights and on the road. Am impressed with the gas mileage (much better than my 2002 Tundra). Lots of power with the 6 cylinder twin turbo. 2.7L, not 3.5 L. Interior is quite comfortable. The audio system is wonderful. Listen to a flash drive of music. Every song sounds great! Have the ruby red color...nice! Truck is a little larger than the old Tundra..but it still fits in the garage. So far, after 3.5 years, no problems. I must mention I have only 12,000 miles on the vehicle

I've owned a Ford truck for a number of years now. I purchased a new 2017 F150 XL. Two wheel drive with the 2.7 ecoboost. The mileage is good. I pull a 19' travel trailer. 3005 pounds empty. It pulls the camper quite easily. The issue I've had was 3 oil pan leaks, a rear main seal leak, 2 fuel injectors replaced, lug nuts needed to be replaced because of swelling that can make it impossible to remove a tire. Some electronic sensor that told me to check engine. Many of these were covered under a warranty. The latest one that concerns me was a brake line leak and one that was bulging and getting ready to break. I take my truck in every 5000 miles and have it inspected and do what is recommended. Since this is a 2 wheel drive and I don't take it off road it concerns me that this could happen. I've contacted ford and was told it's not part of a recall. I wonder if this could be happening to anyone else. The Mechanic at ford had no reason why this should of happened and my towing my camper should have no impact since it's around half the limit that the book says I can tow. I like Ford F150's but just concerned about the safety. Other Fords have some kind of recall on the brake lines, I wonder if they need to look into this before someone gets hurt or killed. As I write this there was no model XL SuperCab with a 6.5 box and a 2.7 ecoboost so I picked the closest one to it.
