This truck was purchased new. It had the standard 3/36k mile warranty and I've purchased 2 ESP (extended warranty's) since the original expired. Currently am good-to-go through 2/2029 or 104k miles, First off.. I love the truck. As with most truck owners I corrected the flaws that the truck came with (sloppy suspension - Installed Fox2.0 coil-overs; Brakes - Installed power stop rotors/pads; catch-can, etc.).. To date these are the mechanical items that required correcting via Ford... 1 Water pump at 14k miles, 2 oil pan replacements at 47k and 48k, and 1 radiator replacement at 56k; Currently I'm awaiting a 4-6 week backordered front differential rebuild kit that will be covered by my current warranty. I am a little disappointed in the issues I've had but overall I'm a fan of this truck. A few VERY key items that every owner should be religious about: Do NOT follow Fords recommended service intervals. Change your oil every 3-5k miles with a high quality synthetic (recommend Pennzoil Platinum), replace all other fluids (diffs/brake/tranny) every 30-40k miles. My biggest gripe is that only 1 of the 5 Ford service centers in the Atlanta area is dependable. It's also scary that the wait times and quantity of vehicles at the service centers is crazy. I've heard the line "Please drop the car off on Wednesday but we won't be able to work on it until sometime later the following week" from multiple dealerships. That level of customer service, coupled with the fact that a new F150 of the same level of the one I purchased in 2017 on average costs 52% more than I paid. The fact is that no other truck manufacturer is much more different than ford from a quality and pricing perspective today. BTW Model tab did not have an option for Platinum 5.5' 3.5.. just 5.0

2017 Ford F-150 XLT 4dr SuperCrew 4WD 6.5 ft. SB (5.0L 8cyl 6A)

I bought my used 2017 F150 XLT 4X4 with the 5.0 Coyote V8 in September of 2023. It had approximately 90,000 miles on it and the test drive sold me, as it had obviously been well cared for. The interior was pristine and it rode very comfortably. It did have a subtle transmission issue that caused it to randomly feel like I was rolling over a series of small bumps. This ended up being a known issue and my warranty allowed me to get a new (refurbished) transmission installed at no charge to me. Since the new one was installed, it has been flawless. The only other change I made was replacing the factory infotainment center with one that has a much larger screen than the 3.5" factory screen. I keep the truck clean and keep up with all of the recommended maintenance. I have had the truck for a year and a half now, and am very pleased with it. I expect to continue driving it for years to come.

The F-150 Platinum with the 5.0 V8 is the finest vehicle I’ve ever owned.

This Super Crew was purchased used from an auto rental company with very few miles on it, less than what would be needed for one oil change in fact. It is an XLT trim, but feels more like an XL with the fabric, plastic-feeling steering wheel and radio/infotainment package. Either Ford is further lowering the base trims, or this was ordered with some really basic stuff. The interior is nicely roomy and this truck has the front bench with fold down center console. The console sits too high and does create a slightly awkward driving position if you want to rest your right elbow on it. However, it is nice to be able to safely fit 6 people in a pinch. The AC is amazing and we love that it decreases its massive airflow speed when you answer a phone call. The HVAC controls are good, we like knobs! The infotainment system is not very intuitive though and pretty rudimentary. We feel like Ford took a step backwards here comparing it to previous gen XLTs. Also, the side view mirrors were a step backwards as well. Despite the lighter aluminum body and 2wd, the naturally aspirated V6 is pretty weak in this truck. We drive it in Sport mode almost always to get a better throttle response. It does get very good fuel economy and has terrific range. In Sport mode we appreciated the altered shift points when driving in hilly or mountainous areas and the transmission will hold gear well in descents; this transmission is definitely an upgrade over previous models. The ride feels light, and perhaps too stiffly sprung, but the steering feel is worse than previous models. The heavier steel body on the previous gen may have actually made this truck ride better, or they need to adjust more for this light body and drivetrain weight. 5.5’ beds are kind of a pain! Almost everything seems to be a few inches too long. Our next pickup will have a 6’ bed. There is very little to go wrong with this vehicle and it has been utterly reliable. As long as you don't overburden it, it still makes for a handy, reliable pick-up, capable of hauling 5 very comfortably and 6 a little less so.

I would likely stick with the ford brand for a truck. I had a problem with the truck smoking a bit. Ford was all over taking care of the issue. No questions asked. Amazing customer service. I love this truck. My only wish going forward would be to upgrade to a raptor.
