I had an 18 month run with a 2018 F150 reg cab short box XLT. Didn't drive truck a lot, was a project vehicle for myself. The good stuff: Overall exterior design, comfy seats for long road trips, brakes-big brakes that worked really good, the lovely 5.0l V8 awesome sound, performance and pretty good fuel economy. The bad: Build quality, so many gaps in body panel, paint quality terrible, had to get the windshield pulled and resealed because it was installed so bad from the factory it leaked, lack of rear antisway bar, headlight design caused poor lighting at night and what a job just to replace the bulbs. The 10 speed transmission: always shuddering, would randomly hold 1st gear to 3-4000 rpms and then hammer into 2nd gear, plastic oil pan started leaking at 5,000 miles. Chevy/GMC has the shift quality and shift points dialed in a lot better on their 10 speed. The really bad: the interior quality! Just no excuse for the poor fit and finish. I had 14 pieces of paper/towels/foam bits in the dash to stop or ease the amount of rattles and squeaks. They didn't bother to clean up the molding edges for a clean fit, they used very cheap fasteners in the door panels so they would visually shake going over bumps and the door pins are so small for the size of the door. The auto rolled windows would work maybe 10% of the time, technician couldn't figure out why. The center armrest cover was so poorly misaligned from the factory it wouldn't stay closed. Plastic oil pan on the engine was leaking upon arrival, was replaced and started to leak at 3,000 miles. Recalls and recalls on the recalls!

Overall, my 2wd 6.5 ft bed f-150 has been great! The ride is comfortable, the truck is stylish, and it hauls everything the average suburban household would need it to (firewood, gokart, bed box). There are a few factors that prevent me from giving this truck 5 stars, primarily the quality of the interior and some exterior panel gaps, the exterior door handles also feel a bit cheesy. Note I understand I got an XL, but there are clear interior imperfections. The transmission and engine power is perfect for what you pay for. For a base truck powerplant, it gets the job done, and gets decent gas mileage. I would consider getting another, but I would get the coyote v8.

This is a great truck overall and has a lot of features. For one the gas mileage. I am averaging over 20 mpg for the 6,000 miles I've driven it. It has the option of turning off while at a stop idling. The trim included protection around the bed sides and top of the tailgate. Cargo light really came in handy as I was unloading wood in the dark recently. Parking brake feature is a matter of pulling a button. It has a "Sport" drive mode; but, I haven't figured that one out yet. Blue tooth connection to my smart phone is smooth and sound is clear. There are a few negatives. One is it's not an extended cab or crew cab; so, space is limited. It's not a 4x4 either, so traction is typical of rear wheel drive trucks and the backup camera is small and there is no warning beep. They could have designed the fold down console better, in my opinion by placing the release closer to the driver. I've had it at the dealer once as the steering wheel developed play (up and down) as opposed to (side by side). This apparently was a recall on some Fusions but first known incident on the F-150 I was told.

Great truck for the price! I have the 5.0L V8 and the acceleration is phenomenal. Quickest mass produced pickup in the USA. Look for the RCSB models with the V8 if you want performance with utility. Very satisfied.
