Just missing a couple key things! - 2016 Ford F-150
By Jeff McClain - May 24 - 3:35 amFirst, this review is for the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost, but they dont have that selectable for the Platinum 4WD SuperCrew (odd?). I got this trim level with the optional 701A equipment group, because I first and foremost absolutely wouldnt go without adaptive (radar based) cruise after using it for the last 5 years on my Chrysler 300. To that, it performs grandly (much better than the crappy laser(?) based one on my 2015 Toyota Sequoia Platinum). Ive been a Chevrolet owner for 22+ years and never cared for Ford interior but LOVED the company. I finally found one I love enough to buy, and I really do like this vehicle. Still, there are a few things I wish they would just ever so slightly change: 1) Make the adaptive hi-beam headlights bright only operate when switched to hi beams. I can over-ride it when it is constantly switching in an urban environment by turning off adaptive hi-beams in the setup, or by turning the knob to just "ON". :( That isnt real practical or helpful. I would much rather just switch it between "Lo Beam" and "Adaptive" on the stick. You can force it for 60 seconds, but that is all. Minor, Ill just turn it off, and not have feature, but seems easy to accommodate in software. 2) I would like the ability to enable an audio beep-beep warning on the Blind Spot Detection when you engage the blinker in and something is there. Too often I miss the small amber blinking in the mirror. This feels like it would be easily updated in software, as they audibly warn you when a vehicle is approaching when in reverse, just like I would like. 3) I miss not having front ultrasonic parking sensors that I have on Chrysler 300. Ive looked and searched the manual, and Im not sure how they do the auto park, but dont have those? Ive checked, and pulled up until I lightly bumped a wall, and nothing...no sound. 4) No lit gear indicator on the gear shift (or more limited physical shifting pattern). It sucks to have a label for the gears right next to the shifter, but no indicator showing which one you are in, or some physical jog left right before dropping into M-2-1, at least? When the truck is dark, you really cant see if it is in D or N or M when engaging. At least my Chrysler also made the shifter only go P-R-N-D (stop, and then slap it right into Manual with up down shift). But this has P-R-N-D-M-2-1 all in a soft clicking line, and it is easy to go right past D...and no cue (without looking up at the instrument panel). :(

Brawn with style - 2016 Ford F-150
By RI Scott - January 22 - 9:55 pmVery happy with my 2016 XLT supercrew. The 302a option package is great. Other than a lack of NAV (dont we all have a phone these days anyway??) the tech is great. Rides nice. Very quiet for a truck. Twin turbo V-6 will make you forget about the V-8. Dash and interior are good but I think the steering wheel quality is poor to the touch and eye. The appearance of the fast and highly functional Sync 3 screen is hideous. Most people set it to nigth mode full time to lose the blue on blue format. Ford....update this asap please! My wifi is waiting. Baby the heck out of it and maybe come close to advertised mileage. Im getting 20.1 mixed but havent seen 23 highway. Sport mode is the top choice around time. Good feel, no loss of mpg if you drive normally. Shifting in regular mode can be clunky and lug a bit until you pedal it. Overall Im happy. A-

Overpriced - 2016 Ford F-150
By JPW - October 23 - 3:52 pmMPG overstated, by quite a bit. This truck will never reach over 14 MPG. Ever. Door seals falling out before the first oil change. Carpet in the cab pulling up for no reason. Transmission unresponsive, any acceleration requires a downshift. Maybe 2 downshifts. Incredibly under powered. Auto-kill very dangerous at intersections, unresponsive or delayed. This truck is not only poorly engineered and built, but dangerous. The sync "tech" is 5-10 years behind. It does not even have simple navigation. Its as if the "tech" was an afterthought. Generally clumsy and awkward to drive. Almost impossible to park in an urban setting. Wholly impractical. It doesnt seem like Ford invested a lot in the engineering of this truck. Cost driven up to unreasonable amounts due to American unions. A $20K truck, sold for over $50K. I would suggest a Ram truck instead.

I really like my 2016 xlt sport screw 3.5 eb - 2016 Ford F-150
By Todd vernon - August 15 - 12:18 amGreat truck in and out, I have the 302 a package. My only cons are the crappy halogen headlights, and lack of a sub in 50k window sticker truck!

8k miles on my 2016, flawless - 2016 Ford F-150
By jd - June 5 - 10:43 amI looked at most other trucks, owned a F250 crew diesel shortbed in the past, must say, this beat it out. quite, smooth, great acceleration, roomy, all the technology gizmos you could ever think of. Easy to get in and out of, very comfortable for long rides, 700 miles out of a take of fuel, kids love the space in the back. Have not towed with it, but the power is amazing for a 6 or 8 for that matter. very responsive throttle. I got rid of my X6 BMW and got this truck. No regrets. 5.6 sec 0-60, just a smig slower than the x6 with 500 HP. Better MPG than the BMW too.... love the truck.....

Pretty King Ranch - 2016 Ford F-150
By joe cuce - May 6 - 5:43 pmTraded my 2009 King Ranch 5.4 V8 super crew 6.5 bed for the new one. Have 3.5 V6 turbo and a short 5.5 bed. I will miss my longer bed. I could not locate a crew cab with the 6.5 bed. Truck too new to really rate it but so far so good. Many improvements to the sync system and some useful electronics for safety and ease of driving. Overall, very happy until something goes wrong. Did not like the double glass roof because of the heat it let in past a flimsy thin cover. Had a window tinter put solar tint which helped.

"Im king of the ranch!" - 2016 Ford F-150
By Richard Cronkwright Jr - December 22 - 7:50 amMy 2016 Ford F150 Supercrew FX4 King Ranch has all the bells and whistles a man could ask for. The safety features really come in handy, especially the adaptive cruise control on the highway. The massaging and air conditioned seats are very helpful on long drives. The 3.5L EcoBoost engine is not as fuel efficient as one might expect, however, the horsepower and torque curve feel endless. The prices one pays for these trucks(the sticker price on mine was almost $70,000) are high, but that is to be expected when you cross an F150 with a Lincoln.

Great Truck, Great Motor - 2016 Ford F-150
By Chuck Freeman - October 26 - 9:52 amIm a very discriminating consumer and hold manufacturers to account for what they produce vs. their claims. Ive put 7500 miles on my new F-150 and at this point the experience has been great. I had one front tire that lost a chunk of tread somehow but Ford replaced the tire quickly. The 2.7 V-6 twin turbo motor is probably the highlight of the truck. Im averaging 19.8 mpg to date with about a 50/50 mix of hwy vs. in town driving. This motor has great acceleration off the line and at speed, hit the gas at 70 and pass with ease. Really Amazes me how well this motor performs. Kudos to Ford Engineering. Iv read some other review where people are having problems with Auto Start/Stop, but mines worked flawlessly and is pretty amazing, nice they have a button to deactivate if youre in stop and go traffic. --- Great driving truck all around and Im really happy I chose the Super Crew as the back seat area is great for cargo with the seats up. Incredibly spacious. -- happy at this point, highly recommend.

WOW - New King Ranch 4WD Supercrew - 2016 Ford F-150
By Doug - October 3 - 2:35 pmIll start by saying I rarely write reviews for anything, but this truck is really exceptional. I have researched all the competitors for months, and have owned many trucks in the past (Avalanche, Silverados, just came out of a 2014 Expedition). Let me say Ford really nailed it with this truck! It is beyond comfortable, easy to drive, the technology is just amazing, and it looks fantastic. The Ecoboost engine is unbelievably quick (Edmunds did not have a selection for a King Ranch Ecoboost for the review). Just towed my 24ft camper with it easily. My only wish is although I love the full sunroof I would have preferred an option for a smaller one to be able to put in an overhead DVD player, but thats very minor. The rear seats fold up with one touch and the fold flat floor is great. The massaging seats really sold my wife on it. Showed it off to family and they were simply amazed. Would like to see Ford incorporate the coil springs like the Ram but the ride is really decent, not at all as jittery as many reviews make it sound. The Avalanche had a great ride and this is very comparable. Dont hesitate to buy this truck, no other comes close.
