Wouldn't start with less than 4000 miles

2024 Ford F-150 XL 2dr Regular Cab 8 ft. LB (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

I purchased the Ford f150 single cab with extended bed, & the 2.7 liter 6 cylinder. Everything was great. I bought the truck because my ford Ranger was getting a lot of miles & having issues. Needed something reliable. On my way home from work, I stopped at the grocery store, when I was ready to leave, I turn the key & it wouldn't start or even crank up at all. My display was showing multiple faults like brakes, camera, blind spot lights, among many other faults. The brake lights came on and wouldn't shut off until the battery went completely dead. It was 7pm. I went to the ford app & ordered a tow truck which did not arrive. By 1am I tried calling the tow truck company & they never answered. I called AAA which I should have done to begin with & even they didn't show up until 6am. I sat in my truck for 11 hrs in the grocery store parking lot totally stranded. By 8am I called the ford dealer to get a tow truck to my house & was furious by that point. A tow truck arrived a couple hours later to take the truck to the dealer I bought it from. The dealer tells me there's 35 vehicles ahead of me waiting for service & it will be a while before they could even look at my truck. It's been 5 days & they still haven't looked at it. The day I bought the truck the sales person told me I wouldn't have any problems but if I did, they would take care of me emediatly. So glad I didn't trade in my 2011 ford ranger because I'm self employed & would be losing a lot of money and business. I bought my 2024 f150 just 6 weeks ago and it's already broke down and unusable! Here I am paying for a brand new truck I can't even use! Wishing now that I never would have bought it!! Total let down!!

A very brief update to my comments below, which I would not change. Even with the small 2.7 turbo, towing is effortless; accelerating to 80mph uphill on a mountainous Interstate with 5000 lbs in boat and gear behind me is quick, such that passing a semi doesn’t incur the wrath of left lane drivers behind me. I frequently have a slight vibration, seemingly in the drivetrain, particularly when not towing and an empty bed, which my two previous almost identical trucks didn’t have. The service manager acknowledged feeling it, and was directed by Ford to drive other new trucks on the lot; he said they also had the vibration, so basically, tough nougies. On back to back 800 mile days towing, my only complaint is: why does the blind spot warning system shut off when the trailer is connected and this truck no longer comes with those convex mirror insets? The truck clunks in 4wd when the wheel is at maximum turn; service manager says they all do now. This is my third leased F-150 in a row; previously I had a 2017 and 2020. I never expected to lease a third one, but at the last moment, my Ford dealer came through in a completely unexpected way. If there is any other company leasing a new vehicle for three years/ 31,500 miles at a total cost of 26% of the MSRP, I sure haven’t seen it. All three of my F-150s have been very similar; all were SuperCabs, with the 2.7 Ecoboost engine. I tow a 4000 lb boat over 3000 miles a year, locally and back and forth to Florida in the winter. The first was an XL but with 20 inch wheels, the latter two have been XLTs, also with the big wheels. The ‘17 had a six-speed transmission, the last two a ten-speed. I saw no advantage to the greater number of gears in the 2020 edition, no better mileage and not as smooth. This newest one seems better calibrated; no more jerkiness. The most remarkable thing about the new one is that I am getting consistently better mileage; like 2 mpg more on average. I have no idea why given it’s the same engine and I thought the transmission is the same as in my 2020, but the decreased gas consumption has kept repeating itself. Once again, I didn’t get to order exactly what I wanted, I chose one off the lot and had to take or miss options that I would have wanted or done without. I would have leased a crew cab this time around, but the real out-the-door price dictated another SuperCab. This one, Ike my last, came with a bench seat, which is not so bad as the dog likes to sit between us on long trips and I truly prefer either the old school column shift (or the console shift in my ‘17) over the button and dial nonsense common these days. The cloth seats are exceptionally comfortable on long trips, and the three position heat feature is greatly appreciated on cold mornings. I now have automatic climate control for the first time on an F-150 and love it compared to the manual version in previous ones. Also love the big center screen and the combination of touch and knob controls; I think Ford strikes a nice balance here. I wish I could have found a truck with adaptive cruise control; Ford was only building it into higher trim levels at insane sticker prices, and none available on dealer lots and websites I checked. This truck has lane departure warnings in the mirrors for the first time for me; it’s a mixed bag. The pretty large extra convex mirrors built into the side mirrors in my previous trucks were adequate for me and more importantly, the new system is automatically disabled when I attach my trailer. I think the higher trim levels do something about this, but I expect this to be a big negative in my first Florida trip coming up. Sometimes, cheaper and simpler is good enough. I am still impressed with just how quiet and smooth riding this truck is; a new very top trim level Mazda CX-50 we just bought (primarily for my wife) is noisier and harder riding than this F-150 which says a lot about this pickup or perhaps about the Mazda. Towing is still a strong suit in this truck, even with the small engine. I was considering getting a mid-sized three row crossover with 5000 lb towing capacity to replace my 2020, (or buying out my lease) but decided that towing at maximum capacity on long trips is not a great idea. Towing with this truck is effortless. I wish I had the optional bigger fuel tank for the Florida tow, but I believe Ford has remedied this in the revised 2024 F-150. This truck came with a trailer brake controller which I have no use for with my boat. Ford ran out of parts in 2023 for the auto stop/start feature that I had on my previous two trucks. I didn’t really mind it on the last two but don’t miss not having it on this one and while the EPA city mileage is one mpg less on the window sticker, as I have said, I am getting better gas mileage on this new truck. I will have to wait and see how this truck does in the snow with the tires that came with it; my 2020 was disappointing with the Goodyears it came with. I had to be towed when I slid off my driveway despite having four-wheel drive to try to extricate myself. It was my fault that I failed to engage the 4x4 before starting up the incline to my house with just light snow on the driveway, but I think better tires would have gotten me out. With a leased vehicle, I am reluctant to spend money on better winter tires in a region that has a good amount of snow, but not tons of it. Next time I will be sure to engage 4x4 when in doubt. I wonder why the truck, and every other pick-up, has a system that, unlike previous Explorers and Expeditions I have owned, does not let me leave it in four-wheel on dry pavement. One thing I hate about this truck involves the redesign that I guess took place in 2021: why did Ford feel it necessary to move the steering wheel controls to the opposite side of the wheel from the previous versions??? What is the benefit? I was used to having the radio and cruise control features in one place only to find them reversed in this edition. It’s bad enough that I have to adjust to each vehicle I own at the same time, but what possible reason did Ford have to do this, particularly in a vehicle that evidently breeds brand loyalty? I have to say that I don’t think I am particularly brand loyal, and I visited Chevy, Ram, Nissan, and Toyota dealers before re-upping with Ford. Nobody had a better product, in my opinion, and all had much higher, non-competitive, lease prices. I love the Ford rewards program, despite knowing nothing about it, or how I earned points. I can report that the three years of leasing of my 2020 F-150 cost me absolutely nothing! For whatever reason, I had enough points to get all required service and NYS inspections at zero cost (primarily oil/filter changes and tire rotations). The dealer in Sarasota even gave me free breakfast while I waited. The only problems I had with my previous trucks involved the entertainment screen and back-up cameras (on both trucks) but this one has been flawless so far, but it’s early. One advantage of leasing is that I don’t worry about replacing tires, brakes, or making non-warranty repairs, but I don’t have the ability to share info on long-term durability. Only Ford, for reasons I have no explanation for, has made leasing a pick-up desirable, at a reasonable price. Once again Edmond’s doesn’t give me the option of selecting my exact trim level. I have an XLT SuperCab 6.5 foot 4x4 with the 2.7 turbo.

Best F150 Yet

2023 Ford F-150 Lariat 4dr SuperCrew 4WD 5.5 ft. SB (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

After riding in a friends new f150 (a freshly converted Chevy man), I finally decided to trade in my beloved 2017 F150, to purchase a new 2023 F150 lariat crew cab 5.5 bed with the 3.5L ecoboost engine and 3.55 gears (Edmunds does not offer this configuration in the drop down). I absolutely love the truck, it rides smoother and quieter than my 2017, plus has more power (it is fast). I tow a 19 foot fiberglass boat (approximately 5,000 lbs. with trailer) and with a bed full of gear and supplies for a long weekend trip, my old truck would sag and sometimes hit the bump stops over rough roads. The 2023 with Max Trailer Tow package has no issues with the load. It has more than enough power on the highway, never seems to struggle. Towing is far more controlled and relaxed with copilot assist 2.0 which keeps the truck in my lane and regulates speed based on traffic ahead. Another great feature is you can input parameters custom to your trailer which calibrate the blind spot monitors to account for the trailer length. MGP while empty is about the same, average 19 MPG, better on the hwy. It does get thirsty while towing, like most trucks. After about 5,000 miles, I have had zero issues, and besides the high cost of purchase could not be happier. I do have two critiques. I opted for the standard side mirrors instead of the tow mirrors. I find the tow mirrors to be really ugly (too big) but the standard mirrors are rather small. They were better on the 2017. The second thing I don't love is drive mode selection. The 2017 had a button on the side of the shifter that selected tow haul mode instantly. The 2023 requires turning a dial on the dash to scroll through 5 or 6 options to get tow haul. Not a big deal, but I preferred the button. I still think this is the best 1/2 ton truck on the market considering power, comfort, tech, fuel economy, and quality. Plus the aluminum body does not rust (zero corrosion on the 2017 after 7 harsh Wisconsin winters).

I have been driving the wheels off this truck. Since June 2024 have put 28000 miles on it. It's quiet, comfortable and has a smooth ride. I have not had any issues and the mileage is better than expected. It averages 23mpg between city and highway. If you keep it at the speed limit and drive in the city it would easily go over the state 24mpg. Get Blue Cruise as it makes long trips effortless. The handsfree driving is amazing!! This is a power boost hybrid as I didn't see it in the model description.
