My New Favorite Truck of All-Time!
Perry Mason, Stanton, NE, 06/06/2018
2018 Ford F-150 King Ranch 4dr SuperCrew 5.5 ft. SB (5.0L 8cyl 10A)
As I get close to retirement I have finally decided to buy a pick up that was comfortable! This 2018 King Ranch F150 has fulfilled that desire. It is by far the most comfortable pick up I have ever driven. I am so proud of it! I am never embarrassed to haul people around. The automatic runningboards make it very simple for elderly people to climb in and out of. The massaging front seats … and combined with the heated or cooled make it an absolute pleasure to drive up and down the road! I have talked to other pick up owners and they have agreed that Ford now makes the most comfortable vehicle. This from a diehard Chevrolet owner who did not think there was a vehicle more comfortable than Chevy. I have the 3.5 eco-boost and I will tell you that there is plenty of power under the hood. I have been averaging about 22 mpg and I am very happy about that. I traded up from a Honda pilot that I liked very much that got about 18 mpg. So, it is pretty impressive to get 22 mpg out of a full-size to pick up this powerful. My dealer included a spray in bedliner and a nice bed cover which I have never regretted. It is so easy to climb up into also! With the assist handle I do not worry at all about storing things inside the bed. I really enjoy all of the monitors that will not allow me to get to close when following another vehicle or parking beside one. I also enjoy not having to fumble for my keys when my hands are full I simply touch the door handle in the pickup unlocks. I have found I use my cell phone a lot to make sure my pick up is locked no matter how far away from it I am and or I can unlock it with my phone or I can even start it! I am very proud of this truck and would not trade it for anything at this point!

Which F-150 does Edmunds recommend?
The F-150 offers several engines, but one stands out: the 3.5-liter V6 rated at either 375 hp or 450 hp in high-output configuration. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, it's an appealing combination of power and fuel efficiency. And with six trim levels to choose from, we think the Lariat offers the best balance between luxury and everyday pickup usability. It doesn't cost much more than the XLT equipped with the 302A package, with which it shares most of its features. We'd also opt for the cavernous space of a SuperCrew cab length.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 Ford F-150 SuperCrew
Driving
8.5The F-150 is a strong performer, even without the range-topping engine. The turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 is punchy, and the smooth-shifting 10-speed gearbox makes the most of it. This truck steers and handles about as well as anything in the class. It has confidence-inspiring brakes, too.
Comfort
8.5There's a lot to like about the F-150. All seats provide both appropriate support and all-day comfort, and the climate control system is a model of effectiveness. Plus the cabin environment is quiet and calm. The optional FX4 Off-Road package doesn't make the ride objectionable at all.
Interior
8.5The F-150 gets high marks for everyday ease of use and interior quality. Combined with the ratings for comfort, it's simply a pleasant place to spend a full day on the road.
Utility
8.5Lots of storage options inside and out make the F-150 one of the most capable utility vehicles you can buy. Even without sliding tie-downs, the cargo bed is versatile. The tailgate works great, too.
Technology
7.5Sync 3 is a capable system that's improved through maturity. It's not the quickest system out there, but its intuitive screen flow helps its standing. Connecting a phone via CarPlay or Bluetooth sometimes requires repeated attempts. Many driver assistance features are available.
