BEST FORD TRUCK EVER MADE

Owning the FORD F-150 has been my best experience ever. I have owned chevy's , Toyota, dodge, and a Titan. But over all this F-150 is by far the BEST handling , performance and the BEST mpg ( miles per gallon ) . We're averaging in town driving 18 miles to the gallon and interstate miles per gallon 23.8. I'm 6ft 4 and 374 lbs. And the truck rides comfortable and is easy to get in and out of. Ford has really stepped up to the plate as far as the overall expectations of a full size truck. The lighter body was an excellent idea, as we have now seen other dealers going to . We'really please to say that when 2020 the NEW FORD BRONCO is coming back to AMERICA. My wife said she will be the PROUD OWNER in driving that vehicle. One more thing-if your're ever in the PARIS, TENNESSEE area ,check out JOE MAHON FORD. They are the BEST folks that you will ever meet, their employees are the nicest and most thought of folks to deal with. If your looking for a caring, generous and giving sales person . Then you need to meet MRS. ANGIE sweetest woman to deal with and to know. Without her our visit may have not been possible. FORD NEEDS TO RECONIZED HER AS THE BEST SALESWOMAN OF THE YEAR. THANK YOU MOHAN FORD for making us a PROUD FORD OWNER.

I've owned this truck for 3 months and have put 4K miles on it since purchasing it as a low mile (5K) CPO truck. I purchased it in an attempt at better MPG than my 2014 F150 supercrew 4X4 with 5.0 which had averaged 18.7 over the 57K miles I had driven since purchasing it new in Jan. of 2015. I've not been disappointed. I'm averaging 23.4mpg overall for 4K since purchase. Best tank 25.5mpg(that's manually calculated) and best trip(215 miles) with several stops at flea markets along the way 28.0 mpg. I made one short trip of 40 miles that I think I forgot to start the engine as I got 33.3 mpg. Only complaint I have is that it's a bit more squirrly riding than my 2014 F150 supercrew 4X4 and the steering is a bit too light at highway speeds. I attribute that to the fact that it is a 4X2, the body is aluminum, and it's got 20" wheels compared to the 18" on my old truck. So it weighs quite a bit less. Trade in July of 2019 for a new 2019 F150 SC 4x4 was still averaging 23+ Mpg (had just over 21K on odometer) missed my 4x4. Update: trade off the 2019 supercrew(3.5 eco boost 4x4) with 21K miles on it. Was a great truck zero problems over 3 years of ownership. 22mpg overall mostly highway. Longest trip. 5700 miles out to California and back by a circuitous route speeds from 55-80mph, 24mpg overall for entire trip. Not computer numbers but hand calculated.

5k miles in and still loving my truck!

My first Ford. While truck shopping I was between the Tundra and F150. The Tundra is beautiful! Rides a little bulky, lags in technology. The F150 just glides when you drive it. Instrument panels are bright and easy to use/read. Power and USB options everywhere you look. Very comfortable ride. Often there is a vibration but then again I live in Ga, roads here suck and yes..you're driving a truck. Gas MPG is pretty decent for truck this size. I am averaging 16-17 city. I dont stomp on it much even though I installed a Roush intake and Flowmaster super 40 9" muffler. This thing is loud! Has a very nice kick. When you need the power, this 5.0 can move. I am 5k miles in and still rides great. I talk hype, so why the 4 stars than 5? I have read other reviews about faulty alarm system. I stopped to get gas and my kids stayed in the truck. Out of habit, I lock the truck and fill up. The alarm goes off and the kids did not open any doors. I disarm, and lock the truck again, moment later, alarm goes off again. A friend of mine has same truck, King Ranch. He mentioned when you turn the truck off your panel gives you an option for all sensors or outside perimeter only. Apparently the truck has sensors inside similar to a house alarm, if motion is detected, the alarm goes off. A safety feature so you do not leave kids or animals in a hot truck, alarm would draw attention. I never knew this.. anyone confirm this? Transmission.. not so great. I often feel a small jerk downshifting from 5-4, or sometimes shifting up 3 to 4. If I approach a stop or yield on a decline road, the transmission will shoot to 1st gear so if i do not stop fully, you get a very nasty jerk when you accelerate. I have driven a new Ford Fusion and Expedition and got similar behavior. Come on Ford.. you guys have made so many improvements over the years, maybe ditch the wal mart brand transmission. I have the 6dp by the way. I test drove a eco boost 10 speed and felt some jerk on and off. I love my truck, I am very happy I went with Ford. I have gotten allot of compliments how nice the truck rides and comfort. We'll see how we're doing at 10k miles.

GREAT TRUCK

2017 Ford F-150 4X4 Supercrew Short-bed 3.5 V6 Ecoboost with a 10 Speed Automatic Transmission. This vehicle is equipped with the 302A package. This engine is very powerful yet it delivers very good fuel economy. It is NOT a typical V6, this vehicle is equipped with dual turbo-charges. I average 19 MPG around town and average 22 MPG on the highway. It will deliver as much as 24 MPG on the highway. This vehicle rides very sooth an is very comfortable to drive. I prefer to disengage the Auto Start/Stop feature which is standard equipment in this truck. Even though this truck is very big it’s easier to drive then a passenger car and has a superb steering radius. The exterior and interior fit finish is very good. I do have the Navigation with the large LED screen. The radio and the features related to the radio are great. The voice activated controls and the hands-free phone system is the best I’ve personally experienced.

Towing and tripping

Primary drivers behind purchase was use as a tow truck for my boat (@ 3,000 lbs.) and a comfortable, serviceable vehicle for long road trips. Being retired and having a second vehicle daily driver stuff not a consideration. Got the XLT Supercrew with the 3.5 liter Ecoboost, 10 speed auto, 4WD, 302A, tow and off-road packages. The off-road package idea was to get a little more ground clearance and not scrape the driveway like my Astrovan and GMC Savanna vans did. Being a 72 year old retired teacher the only way I'd normally go off road is falling asleep at the wheel on the interstate. But you never know. May have kept me, my wife and faithful cocker spaniel from becoming a Bigfoot meals on wheels while exploring the environs of the Trinity River in Northern California. Got into some deceptively deep, very loose sand. It felt awful! Definitely one of those "Oops!" moments. Not only impressed but very, very relieved when I put it in 4WD and drove right out. No problem at all climbing my very steep driveway with 6-8 inches of new-fallen snow on it especially with the General AT/X tires I've had on it for last 40K. Handled any boat launch I've ever used no sweat. Vehicle has the 20 inch tires that appear to be a foot wide, class IV hitch, and 36 gallon gas tank. After driving for almost 5 years, with a 7,220 mile road trip, 3-4 others in the 4-5,000 mile range and probably a dozen thousand mile long round trip tows still very, very pleased. Might be tempted next time to go with the 2.7 liter Ecoboost. Little cheaper, little bit more economical. For me the 3.5 is overkill - it'll almost jerk the trailer out from under my boat. Truck got 22.1 mpg on a 7.500+ road trip with the original tires and gets 20-21 mpg on road trips with the General AT/X tires I've used last 40K+ miles. Gets 16-18 mpg towing my boat. Very comfortable. Rides well - maybe a tad harsh unloaded but that very quietly. Even at 80-85 mph you can listen to music or actually talk to your passenger. Instrument panel is adequate. Synch 3 is great. Very intuitive. Stereo system sounds great. Listen to everything from classic rock and roll to classical and space music. Great truck.
