Have had XLT SuperCrew 2.7 Sport 5.5 10a 302a 4x2 several months now. Would buy again. Can see why it is so popular. Not flawless, but very, very good. Moved up from 2015 Nissan Frontier to the F150. Frontier was a good vehicle, but the kids are growing and it became too small. Pros. 2.7 Ecoboost is the real deal. Eco, about 20 combined in mainly heavy big city driving. Saw 22 on a regular basis in cooler months without AC running. Saw 26 on a longer highway trip. Boost, made a short trip towing a 3500lb small Travel Trailer, 400-500lb of gear and 4 people. Towed easily in Tow/Haul mode. Got 12mpg. 3.15 rear end. It ran up to 8th gear tops. Would not hesitate to tow a heavier trailer with the 2.7. I would think it would do fine with 5000-7000 lbs. Ran in Sport Mode once, very quick onto an onramp into highway traffic. Pro, Sync 3 system is a very good design. Pro, comfortable seats and lots of legroom. Cons, have to nitpick to really find much, I would like a better quality feel to the tailgate release, feels a bit cheap. Maybe an occasional rattle from dash or door panels. The Frontier never rattled in the 3 years I had it. I added some accessories. Spray-In bedliner (a must), tailgate cartridge that allows easy controlled down (a must). Tray style rubber mats (a must). Added bed extender (nice), hood protector (nice), Ford Kicker subwoofer (nice punch at higher volumes, but adds little at lower volumes, not sure I'd buy it again). To sum up, if it holds up well, it will be well worth it. The 2.7 engine combined with the 10a are great. They have met or exceeded my expectations so far. Very good truck. 7 months later, all continues to hold true, 2.7 engine is the real deal. 10 speed auto is very smooth. Mileage and power. Sync infotainment system excellent. Very few drawbacks. A few rattles from the dash on occasion and the driver’s seat fabric may be showing a little more wear than I would expect. Glovebox seems very cheap. Buttons on dash could be a bit larger.

As others have noted, Edmonds choices for my truck don’t exist. I have the 3.5 turbo with the short bed. Had the truck three weeks and then the “wonderful” 10 speed transmission wouldn’t shift. Trucks been in the shop for over a week and still not back to me. Not even a month with my truck and here we go. Supposedly a sensor, but its taken over a week to get it fixed? Horrible. All the looks and hype of the technology is meaningless if it doesn’t run. Wish a new model Tundra was an option....

I loved my 2010 FX4 4x4 Supercrew 5.4. It ran great (still running) and it was worked all it’s life pulling boats, Sled’s etc. I couldn’t believe how good the truck held up being over loaded often. It is a northern truck so the dreaded salt rust was showing its age. I was kind of sad to trade it in on a new 2018 FX4 Lariat Supercrew with a 3.5. Then I had the new truck and put it though the same torture tests and Wow it performs great. I was considering a 3/4 ton but with the tow max package I am 110% happy with my discussion. If you are a real truck guy then spend the money and get an F150. If you are a car type guy then maybe these are not the truck for you. Nice job Ford

F-150 3.5L V6 vs. Ram 1500 Ecodiesel V6

Totaled a '16 Ram Ecodiesel and none of the airbags deployed. I decided to replace it with a 5-star safety rated F-150. The 4-corner coil spring Ram rode and handled like a dream. The Rams fuel economy averaged 24 mpg. The F-150 rides a little rougher but I also have the maximum towing package. I love the power Super Duty style mirrors. Both the hp and torque of the Ford's 3.5L V6 exceed the Ram's V6 diesel. The maximum towing of the Ford is >13,000 lb. while the Ram's was around 10,000 lb. The 10-speed transmission shifts flawlessly but so did the Ram's 8-speed. With the price of gasoline so much lower than diesel, the $/mile of the gas engine make sense. I will say the Ram's UConnect system is superior to Ford's Sync. Overall, I really like the F-150. One more thing - the way the aluminum body is assembled, it is tight and very quiet. Looking forward to no rust too! One last thing; why can't any of the pickup manufacturers make a box that, when equipped with a high quality tonneau cover, is at least somewhat dust proof? Living on a gravel road, I end up with a half inch of dust after only a few days. After installing a tailgate seal and caulking around the box seams, it still sucks the dust in although not nearly as bad.

The more I drive this truck, the more flaws I'm finding. Now that the weather has turned cooler, enough to run the heat in the morning. The truck takes way too long to warm up. I can let it idle for 5 minutes before driving to work and still not have heat after a 10 mile drive. The idle when the truck is cold, is way to high. If you should have to get in and drive immediately after starting be prepared for it to take off on you. When I say cooler weather I'm only talking about the mid 40s. The auto start/stop feature is a real pain and offers no fuel savings at all. To me its only causing the truck to start a few million more times then it needs to, talk about wear and tear. Being a Ford guy, I personally think Ford is way behind the competition on standard features. After the negatives, I will say this. I still love this truck. I love that I can beat my buddy off the line with a 2.7L twin turbo compared to his Tundra with the V-8. Since I decided on a lease, I'm looking forward to seeing what Ford does with the Bronco in 2020.
