Great classy truck!!! - 2014 Ford F-150
By Joshua C. - April 8 - 9:56 amPurchased an F-150 Platinum (Mine has a 6.6ft bed and an Ecoboost... dunno why its not listed) and love it! Had a 2010 F150 Lariat before that was moderately loaded and was wishing for more. So after I had some equity in the truck we traded in for this puppy and our payments are nearly the same :). Driving these two vehicles in theory should have been the same (minus the engine. The Lariat had the 5.4 w/a 6-speed). Although they were virtually the same truck everything about the way they act is different under the assumption that the engine changes everything. Steering in the Platinum is waaaay more refined and the road noise on the vehicle is greatly reduced at highway speeds. The only thing about the truck I didnt like initially were the wheels... So I actually transferred the wheels from our old one to this one and its actually a truck instead of a pimpmobile. Gas mileage is slightly poorer with the Ecoboost (14vs17 mixed mpgs) than with the 5.4 and Im assuming it has to do with moving all that weight around. Also lets face it. When youre purchasing a truck of this magnitude you have to accept that mileage is going to be more on the poor side. However the pickup on this engine is remarkable and almost car-like so that more than makes up for it. 90% of the interior controls are digital with only volume, temp and some radio preset buttons having hard press keys. With a home menu thats set up.... ok, everything in the vehicle is easy to function and menus are easily read and settings are easy...ish to change. occasionally youll have to tap an option again as the 1st time it didnt register but this isnt to the point that its frustrating. The power fold mirrors and back-up camera are options that are luxuries but not that I have them I dont know how I lived without them in my previous F-150. They make parking and maneuvering this beast a lot easier in a tighter parking lot and I have come to rely on them. Right height is perfect and driving down the road it behaves very well, with all features working beautifully to keep you on the road in the more harsh ND winters. My familys favorite feature of the vehicle has to be all the heated/cooled seats. Being leather in ND this is something of a luxury and a first for us. everyone can now enjoy a warm tush on days where temps can get as low as -30F on the daily and with leather you can get pretty cold down there before things start to warm on in the vehicle. This is definitely a vehicle I can recommend and for one buying the same brand/model of vehicle twice hasnt let me down. Way to go Ford!

The 2014 F150 is Outstanding - 2014 Ford F-150
By Warrren Merkle - February 18 - 10:20 amThe F-150 delivers as promised. The truck has needed oil changes and tire rotations and nothing else. The only issue is aesthetics. Ford used too much plastic in the cab. The XLT should have incorporated some fabric or other material on the door and dash areas to break up all of that plastic. It gives a $35,000 vehicle a rather cheap look inside. The power from the 3.7 V6 is more than enough for those unless you are towing over 6,000 pounds on a regular basis. It has the acceleration of a V8 and great fuel economy. If you keep the truck at 70 MPH, you will get 21.5 MPG or better on the highway. Ive made a few round trips from Florida to Ohio and my best was 21.9 MPG and there are a lot of hills and mountains on I-77. Overall I get 18.3 MPG on daily around Tampa, Florida driving. The AC is almost always on down here, so in cooler climates, there might be a better number. Im in my late fifties, so I dont drive like a teenager, but I dont drive like a blue hair either. The warranty should be longer to better compete with other brands and the price of theses trucks is approaching insanity. But this is my fourth truck and even though those new Chevys catch my eyes from time to time, you cant go wrong with the F-150. Acquired 3/2014

Im LOVING IT! - 2014 Ford F-150
By Debbie Cha - April 1 - 10:15 amI have NEVER been a fan of FORD.......EVER! This is my first truck. I bought my 2014 truck last year in February (2015) and have had it for a whole year and I cant say enough on how the handling is and how reliable it is. I LOVE the space in the back...........all the things you can imagine I have done.....LOL! J/K The drive is great, although it can use a handle on the driver side, too, to get in. I have four kids all under the age of 12 and they definitely love sitting in the back. It tows my jet skis and my travel trailer just fine. No problems yet with the engine as with any new car, but I will definitely be back on this sight to rate it again in five years. ;-)

How can you love it when it’s in the shop - 2014 Ford F-150
By Don - June 21 - 2:40 amFords abiility to diagnose issues is suspect at best. During the summer of 2016, Ford replaced the points on clynder # 7. Then replaced the short block then sent out and had the heads rebuilt. In the spring of 2017 a shutter in the transmission developed. Ford reset the learning process but the shutter never went away. In the fall ford indicated that they thought the torque converter was bad,but they could not get one. As such they replaced the entire transmission. Now after three resets of the learning process the transmission continues to clunk going in and out of first gear. Ford at this point doesn’t know what to do? My truck has been in the shop for over 40 days to date with no resolution in site. Thank god I bought the extended warranty!

Lost Love - 2014 Ford F-150
By Todd C NY - May 15 - 11:16 amIve been a Ford guy for last 30 years. I really liked my truck. Purchased it the last year they had with the steel body. I have always hated the fact that the tires that the truck comes with is only good for 35K miles. Been a real pain and I feel they are pulling one over on you personally. Due to job change, I dont drive mine much, but still keep it around. Ended up having to get $1,000 with or tires at 20K miles due to an alignment problem. I asked Ford about it and they just told me "sorry, maintenance is expensive". My issue isnt the maintenance. My issue is that the "Ford tough" motto is absolutely crap when the mechanic tells me he recommends getting an alignment check every 6 months because even hitting a pothole can throw your alignment off. Really? Ive never in 30 years had that issue. So its "built Ford tough" until you hit a pothole in a Ford truck. There isnt anything "tough" about that, sorry.

This is Why the FOrd F-150 is the Best Truck. - 2014 Ford F-150
By Warrren Merkle - January 12 - 9:53 amFirst the downside. Too much plastic in the interior. Ford got cheap here. The rest of the truck exceeds your expectations. The best Bluetooth quality, 21.9 MPG on the highway. 18.3 MPG around town. No repair costs. Fit and finish perfect. The only truck to consider, period.
