  4.2 engine a bust - 1997 Ford F-150
  By Disappointed - April 13 - 6:18 pm

  I purchased this vehicle not even a yr ago, had been driving Fords for over 20 yrs with my job. But will never again purchase a Ford product until they make a engine that is reliable again. What a disappointment. Ford, you can do better or else stand by your product. 4.2 liter engine a bust.

  F150 best truck on the market - 2005 Ford F-150
  By James - April 12 - 2:14 pm

  The F150 Lariat supercab has been very reliable with no cost of repairs to date (which is good because Ive been rough with it at times). It rides smooth for a truck while still being able to haul everything a normal person would ever want. Although it may not have the acceleration of competing models, it is definitely built to withstand the abuse of a what I expect a truck to take.

  BOOM! - 2009 Ford F-150
  By 4x4 2010 - April 12 - 9:34 am

  Best truck Ive ever owned. I am 6,3 and the four door is so roomy I can sit in the back and relax and have plenty of room, I love the heated seats and the SYNC system transmission shifts often but that means better gas mileage, I can tow my 9,000 lb trailer like its nothing, , the 5.4 is really powerful but Im looking forward to the new 6 litre v8! This is a beautiful truck inside and out and handles seamless ly I average about 20 mpg!

  Towing that Trailer - 2007 Ford F-150
  By Trailer Towing - April 11 - 9:56 pm

  We are serious campers. We tow a 30 foot, 8000 pound 5th. wheel camper behind our F150, with the 5.4 engine. I does a great job and we still get 10 m.p.g. out of it. We have taken short trip and long trips and usually go camping at leadt ten times a year. Never had any problems with anything in 3 years. I highly recommend this truck to people needing a reliable, good riding truck to tow a camper.

  Great Truck - 2001 Ford F-150
  By Doug Mc - April 11 - 9:51 am

  This is the 2nd new Ford F150 I have owned. The first was a 1990 model and I drove it for 11 years and it had 200,000 miles on it when I traded it in. I have had this one for almost 9 years now and its up to 180,000 miles and still running great. It has had normal maintenance plus a couple of little hiccups along the way, but overall a great truck and fun to drive. I have the V6 model and since I dont do any heavy towing, it is fine and the acceleration is great. I love sitting up high and seeing the road.

  Truck of Trucks for the King of Kings - 2010 Ford F-150
  By RaptorKing12 - April 8 - 9:17 am

  I sell these bad boys at crown ford in Fayetteville North Carolina Ive sold 6 so far including one to myself. These trucks are by far the most fun and good looking I have seen in a while every time I sell one I cant keep my eyes off them. As for off roading I have played with it a little bit some of my customers have actually sent me pictures of them lifting it 5 feet off the ground from driving a ramp...maybe Ill test that out one day. I love the truck and Im proud to be a part of Ford for everything they have done.

  2010 FX4 SuperCrew - 2010 Ford F-150
  By John F - April 7 - 2:18 pm

  I traded in my 08 Acura TL Type-S for this truck. I miss my TL I dont regret buying this truck. I just bought a house and trips to home depot in the acura wasnt cutting it. I use to own an 04 FX4 and this new one is a huge improvement. The rear cab is bigger then the last model, seats are more comfortable, side airbags...just a list of new features. Go to Fords website and watch the videos on "truth about trucks", youll see why & they show build quality from Toyota, Dodge and Chevy. I like the fact Ford didnt take any bailout money. Even with the 6spd trans vs. the old 4spd I dont see a real improvement in gas mileage. I avg 12/13 mpg w/20" aftermarket tires & 2" level kit.

  F150-XLT - 2010 Ford F-150

  Fun to drive. Wish there were more standard features like music selector on steering wheel, driver grab handle.

  Rebuilding "Bullet" - 1993 Ford F-150
  By buffaloman - April 4 - 5:46 pm

  Previously I had a 1997 F 150 that after 295,000 miles the engine finally failed. So i was broke and needed a trailer puller. Ended up with a 93 extended cab 351W 4x4 long bed with trailer package. It had 135k on it when i bought its now 147. I have replaced the engine with a 351 RV improved remanufactured engine. I think I have a tranny problem so the power is not good. The mileage is about 12 mpg which will be an issue when fuel gets to $4.00 a gallon. It is a daily driver now. For the money that you will spend on a new truck, this is a good value. Even if you invest in a rebuilt motor and tranny. It gets you down the road.

  Terrible power plant and drive train! - 2009 Ford F-150
  By cyberdreams - April 3 - 1:27 pm

  I purchased my 2009 f150 lariat new for towing my track car. I have the tow package and 3.73 gears, the truck shifts like crap and has no tow power. It is constantly shifting through the gears like it doesnt know what to do. As of april 2010 I have 20k miles on it and am looking to sale it. I like the interior and all the features such as the nav and the ac/heated seats. Just driving around town with no trailer this truck struggles to find gears and is unpleasant to drive. It constantly shudders off the line and is very sluggish. I only wish I went with a diesel f250.
