The Sport cloth seats are way better than standard cloth. They have a more repellent type feel which isn't as soft to the touch but better for a truck if you are muddy or have a dog, etc. I didn't want leather. It is plenty comfortable. The 4auto transmission is the only thing I wish I had in the Lariat. I drive a lot of highway miles and it has a nice view and ride. The V8 sounds great, pulls awesome (450ft above sea level) and I am getting 17.5mpg around town and 19.5-21.5 on the highway depending on wind and above or below 70mph and I haven't fully broken it in yet. Wife loves the heated seats. I had to upgrade the radio as it was meh but knew that going in. The ride and ride height is perfect and the seat really holds you well and I am a bigger guy at 6'2" 225lbs. The auto pedals are a must for my leg length. I have the grey so the front fascia matches the truck like a Lariat. If I had another color I would have had to buy the color match front fascia at it is tacky otherwise. The large console is a must for me to carry my computer and equipment. The large flat area in the back when the seats are raised give me more space than my prior SUV. The safety rating and dealer warranty sold me as this will likely be my son's truck in 5 years. The integrated 120V power is great. The only two negatives I can give it are, one, the turning radius is not good. Every normal parking lot I am backing in or having to take two tries at it. The second is that the transmission does hunt or jerk from 25-50mph if you try to feather the gas. It is getting better and the dealership may need to reprogram the transmission. It did sit for 6 months on a dealer lot and had 50 miles of test drive learning to overcome.

Lets start with the warped dash least of the problems here we go. Drove 1600 miles used 2 qt of oil. After driving for 10 15 minutes let the truck set for 5 10 minutes start it back up and there's a loud clunk that you can feel in the cab. Transmission problems when coming to a stop the truck lunges forward feels like someone rear ended you also harsh shifting. Engine is also ticking and theres a rattle in the engine compartment. Truck has been in the shop now for a week. Good thing ford has been saying alot of these problems are just normal. Last ford i will own if they dont make it right. Everyone just please do some research before buying the f150 and mustang with the 5.0 engines look on YouTube you will find people are having a lot of problems with these engines.

This version is a really nice around town truck. Running errand, picking up kids, this is a great mom truck. However if you’re pleasure is hauling, off roading or towing, I’d suggest you upgrade. I’m not one to buy more than needed so for me, this truck is perfect. My husband and I like to travel our state in comfort and may have our adult children with us so this truck fits our needs.

Trucks are insanely expensive now. I never liked the F-150, but after having some poor experiences with the dealerships that sell the truck that was my first choice, I decided to give Ford a shot. I have the 2.7l Ecoboost and am quite happy with it. You have 5 settings for the type of driving you want. If I forget to change it and it stays in normal, I cannot tell I’m driving a V6. In Sport mode it is a blast! I try to stay in Eco to maximize my mpg. My commute is 90 miles round trip, a mix of 70mph highway and 55 mph roads with few stops. I’m getting in the mid 20’s consistently. My local dealer actually wanted to sell me a truck which is nice compared to my former brand. I also save $0.60 a gallon because I can use regular (87) as opposed to the premium I had to put in my old car. This truck is doing a great job of making me feel like I did not settle for what was my third choice. I also feel better about not waiting to get the new 3.0 diesel option (which was my first choice on the other truck). I recommend you drive one for yourself, you may be as pleasantly surprised as I was! ***Update*** I no longer have the truck. Ended up needing 4 doors and wanted to go smaller. Wanted the Ranger very much but Ford dealerships offered the least amount of money for their own product. I went with a competitor. Full disclosure, they all do this. You will get a first great deal but that’s it. I’m glad GM is now using the 10 speed trans-it is awesome!

My 2018 F150 Lariat replaced a 2014 GMC Sierra. I wish I had the GMC back. I HATE the auto-shutoff feature when you stop at a traffic light. The biggest problem I have with it is the Dieseling the motor does when accelerating. There is also a popping sound in the driveshaft when it shifts gears. I have had two dealerships look at it and they tell me Ford says it is normal and within tolerance. I don’t like the 10-speed transmission either. Other than those issues, it is comfortable.
