  By Come down on the price - January 16 - 8:39 pm

  I own a gmc was looking to go back to ford but it kinda hard to go back when I could get another gmc for about 5 or 6 thousand less. Its a nice truck but not for that price.

  Worst car Ive owned - 2016 Ford F-150
  By Rob - November 22 - 9:27 pm

  Drove off the lot with vibration. Dealer said normal even though its obviously not. Bought an angle finder and found 4.5 degree working angle for transaxle-to-driveshaft and .5 degree working angle at pinion-to-driveshaft. Working angles should be 1 degree at least or youll wear out u-joints. Working angles should be within 1 degree or youll have vibration. While trying to get that fixed, 5.0 engine developed a tick at idle and a clacking sound in the passenger side valvetrain. All of this and I have 2,200 miles on a brand new truck. Dealer today argued it all drives and sounds normal, of course. Run as fast as you can from the F-150. They are not what they used to be. In fact, this is my third new Ford since 2013 and theyve been nothing but headaches. 28 years of driving Fords since age 16. Today, done with Ford for good. Their cars are junk now.

  Nightmare purchase - 2016 Ford F-150
  By Smarty Jones - July 23 - 12:22 am

  If poor engineering, fake specifications, bad customer service from the dealership and no help from the corporate office is what you desire then welcome home to Ford! My 2016 F-150 struggles to pull my bass boat, dry weight only 2400 pds, up sharp inclines. Short on-ramps on the interstate are a special treat. Hitting the breaks to a dead stop before being killed is something you should be prepared for with this one. Its a pooch and not going to haul anything except a few bags of groceries home or a some trash bags to the dump in back. Totally worthless hauler no matter what the specs say. The favorable reports here are more than likely plants, Ford employees or both. Run like a scalded dog to Chevy or Dodge if you want a real truck. Ford F-150 is a toy, nothing more.

  LOVE My New Truck - 2016 Ford F-150
  By Berlyn R. - July 20 - 1:17 pm

  Let me just say that I grew up in a Chevy household and I previously owned and loved my Ram. When it came time to replace my 00 Ram 1500 I was positive that I would be buying a new Ram truck. My husband convinced me to drive the new F150. I found both an F150 and the Ram 1500 online at my local dealers, both had comparable options and pricing and I scheduled the test drives for the same night. At the end of the night my mind was easily made up. I went back the next day and bought the Ford F150 Lariat FX4. I am in LOVE with this truck. The quality of the interior is superior, the handling is amazing, both when I am towing and when Im not. The cab is super quiet, the ride is great, especially for a truck and it drives like a truck. I like that. It does not drive like some oversized car. I have the 2.7l V6, and gas mileage is better then I expected. I get about 15-16 mixed driving and 19-20 highway. I live in Southern California where we base travel on time not distance, because traffic here sucks, so Im pretty impressed. LOL! The truck has enough power to get out of its own way, nice acceleration getting on the highway, but handy enough to mange the traffic and get in and out of the parking garages. I purchased the Super-Crew Cab and there is more then enough room in the back for my 64" son. The back seat floor is flat, so when you fold the seats up you have a ton of room to transport items that you might not want to toss in the bed. I have the 501A package and all the options included in that are fantastic. I love the remote start and keyless entry. I did have the dealer install running boards. Even as tall as I am (59"), I didnt want to break down the edge of the drivers seat climbing in and out. Overall I love this truck and would recommend to anyone looking for a new vehicle.

  Awesome small turbo engine / good gas mileage - 2016 Ford F-150
  By Jorge - March 1 - 5:59 am

  The small twin turbo motor (2.7) is great---really good acceleration, responsive, and good gas mileage. So far, my gas mileage has been 21 - 22 MPG in combined highway and local driving reasonably conservatively---for true mileage calculate it yourself---the truck computer ends up displaying 2 - 5 miles per gallon more than you are really getting). Cabin is very quiet. Ride is quite comfortable, except when you go over bumps of course. Good seating position in the front---rear seats are better than I thought they would be---actually tolerable for adults of average height for short rides. Wish Ford would sell an accessory lockable gas plug for the truck. Alas, the huge annoyance with this truck is the auto-engine-off. Although Ford gives you an override button, deactivating the auto-engine-off is only good for one driving cycle, so you have to push it every time you get in the truck if you don´t want the engine shutting down every time you come to a stop. You might come to a stop for just one second, and the engine shuts down! Also, make sure you want a large truck---this thing is big.

  A rolling techno geek brick! - 2016 Ford F-150
  By Phillip - January 21 - 3:28 am

  Mine is a Lariat 5.5 crew with 3.5 ecoboost. Oddly not on the trim list?? Its equipped like a Limited and I ordered for towing. FX4; max tailer; and big telescoping folding mirrors. Not a boulavard girly pickup, but nice platinum white one with pulling power. NO SUN ROOF...why? dont need it and weakens the roof in a rollover. It drives serine and is vault quiet. Nice to drive, but with less turing circle than my 2011 XLT 5.5 crew was and the front seats were better in the 2011. . The Goodyear model tires named "Fortitude" model are way too soft 5 ply and presents a jitttery ride with sloppy control. So, i traded them for Michelin Defenders LTX MS (new 2016 model) range load E and its a changed pickup. It is more settled and planted on the road with zero jittery ride Much better handling and cornering. A bit more firm ride due to the E load range tires. This is the tire for this pickup, especially if you want to tow. I have read many complaints about the jittery ride , even in Conusmers Reports. Well, tires are never mentioned how much they effect the performance and handling in vehicle reviews. Ford would sell many more pickups if they would consider this tire as standard for an FX4 and max trailer tow options. Tires matter always...and tire pressure. So far I am elated and looking forward to driving my pickup and pulling my trailer. I would seriously look at the Fords their safety is top rated and build quality is outstanding. I have owned two ford F150s in the last 15 years and all were good to me. BTW...drive the turbo with reason , check tire pressures often and youll get decent economy....forget good gas mileage when you tow......10 is normal. Also, use premium fuel as Ford recomends when towing. You have the engine....use it to its maximum capablity...you paid for it!
