Used 2019 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Consumer Reviews
Please nix auto start/stop (or let me do it)
First, let me say that is love my truck. It’s roomy, beautiful, comfortable, quite peppy/fast, and a great ride. It also has a nice healthy community of modders and aftermarket products supporting it. CarPlay is great, and it’s now all I’ll ever want rather than another auto manufacturer’s sub-par nav system. I have only one complaint that prevents the 5-stars - the idiotic auto stop/start. It’s clear that it’s not driven by customer demand but rather to game the mileage rating system. This is a universal complaint and there’s lots of videos of people trying to hack around it. There’s a button to turn it off, but you must push it every time you start the engine. Again, lots of people doing things like changing firmware (affecting warranty?), disassembling panel and adding electronic parts — ridiculous. FORD - There’s a very simple fix: add a dash controlled feature to the dash menu to permanently enable/disable auto start/stop. Publish it in the next update. That’s it — simple. Do this and I will turn this to 5 stars, and praise Ford for returning to customer orientation.

Transmission problems
I bought a 2019 F-150 XLT 4x4 5.0L 27,000 miles on it. Got it home and the transmission started knocking and wouldn’t shift at all once I was at about 5,000 rpm in 4th gear it finally shifted. I hear rattling and knocking coming from it. Hard shifts in 3,5,8th gear. Mainly 3rd gear is the worst. I wish I would’ve kept my 2017 6 speed f-150. Oh I’ve been to the dealer twice no help there. I guess I’ll get a Toyota next. Before my warranty expires. Take it from all of us. The 10 speed transmission is garbage 🗑. And it makes the 5.0 L feel weak. No get up and go. My 2008 has more torque. This truck can’t even get out of its on way, its sad what ford has done!

2019 f150 lariat JUNK
We bought this brand new. Within the first 2,000 miles we had transmission troubles (hard shifting), engine problem (long crank/no start), paint chipping off and trim pieces falling off. Long story shorter, the first 40 days in the shop they couldn't fix it and actually refused to work on it anymore until it "completely broke". When it did "completely break", it took them another 20 days to fix it. Ford corporate could care less about it's produce and its customers. We wish we had our Grand Cherokee back. I'd give them less than 1 star if I could.

2019 f150 xlt 3.5 Jerky Shaky Noisy, Dangerous!
As of this review, I just broke 6000 miles and had them change the oil at 3000. Before you buy a Ford, drive the truck for the weekend before purchasing. The dealer tricked me. They cranked the truck and let it warm up for 10 min before bringing it out. My truck had over 8 hours of idle time on it with less than 200 miles when I checked it/figured out how to check. Transmission bumps and jerks the driveshaft when started or shut down. It feels like the torque converter is hanging and dragging until pressure can build up to release? Engine ticks and rasps very loudly until fully warm then it just ticks.(like an un-oiled chain) Idle is very shaky. It feels like you are running down a bumpy road "randomly shaky" Transmission thinks it is the brakes and beats the heck out of the rear end and drive shaft downshifting. Transmission jerks the whole truck when downshifting into lower gear. Especially hard and loud if you are coasting and not pressing on the brakes. (very fatiguing and super scary if the truck is not fully warm) Shifts are inconsistent and irritatingly jerky. (is it going to shift into 2nd or just skip from 1st to 3rd and jerk me around again. 4-5 is inconsistent and downshifting into 5th always a hold your breath ordeal, "is the BIG BANG" going to happen again? Engine is powerful one day and just normal others? You cannot check the fluid level on the transmission (no dipstick) Ford mechanic says its all normal, its just "parts catching up with each other" and I should have bought the 5.0. (same transmission, so a big NO way, BS all over here) 10,000 mile update: I got used to the noise at start up. Transmission still bumps and pops when started and downshifting. Had a few instances of hanging upshift at part throttle in cool weather. Feels like a cheep POS, not a 50 grand truck. Buyer beware! 18000 mile update, 6th to 5th down shift is constant BANG now. Dealer says no check engine light, no their problem. I do not think FORD even Knows about it. I have never gotten anything about my service or ANYTHING from ford or the dealer. The seat now takes a good 8-10 min to heat up, (within spec according to ford) the console door has fallen off and had to have it repaired. Motor still shakes bad. 25000 mile update. No problems have gone away, FORD has been contacted around the dealer. They say its a dealer problem and will have to leave it with them for possibly months!!! The bad shifting has me scarred to drive in rain or ice. It has barked the rears one time in a downshift in a turn. I need to report to the NTSB. This could result in a out of control vehicle. I know of 2 other people with the same problems. I am going to recommend NTSB reporting as well. Dealer tried to fix transmission at 58k miles. Had it apart changed some things. Worked for 2 months then started getting worse. Truck tried to shift from 10 to 1 on the interstate, Oil all over the underside. Brought back. 2 weeks later started shifting worse than ever. This transmission and FORD is the best reason I have rt now for life insurance. Drive it and you are taking your life in your hands. WORST transmission and service I have ever Known.... DO NOT BUY ANY FORD!

Excellent blend of performance and economy
I have an xlt crew cab 4x4 with the 2.7 and awesome 10 speed. This thing gets over 22mpg in my mixed commute and if you punch it, it goes. This is the smoothest riding and shifting truck I have driven. I've driven a lot of rams with hemis and 5.3 Chevy's and they cannot touch this.
