Best truck I have ever owned

This truck met all my needs. Power drivers seat and adjustable floor pedals make for a very comfortable ride. Ford's Sync connects my phone for hands free use.

Best truck I?ve had

This truck met all of my needs from hauling the boat to the river to pulling horses to showing appointments. You didn?t feel like you were pulling anything! Hauling my son and me back and fourth to work/school. Great fuel mileage also!

SVT Raptor is Amazing!

This truck is an off-road beast. We took it on a 10k mile journey to the Arctic Ocean, Alaska and Canada. Flawless performance. What a breeze it makes to drive long distances. Plenty of power and a large fuel tank! Highly recommended.

So good at 97,000k, I?ll keep it.

We went and looked at new trucks today. To my surprise the 3.5 EcoBoost?s towing went from 11,000 to 13,000 which was great. I considered more towing capacity on occasion but I didn?t want to go a larger truck. The new 150 e.5s are really nice, but when I melted it down and looked at how much I had to pay down on my 2012 truck, and feeling like it was going to remain reliable for some time , I decided to skip buying a brand new one this year despite the end of the year rebates. If tariffs come I may regret that but in the end my truck I have now now has everything I need. It did not come with a back up camera so I had an aftermarket one put on, plus CarPlay. I would totally buy another one, and eventually will.

Transmission Problems

I owned a 2012 F-150 Platinum. Interior leather and set comfort was great along with the power retractable step bars made the passenger comfort level very high in my book. The V-6 turbo engine had plenty of power for my driving style. However the truck was plagued with transmission problems. At 55K miles the Trans broke and Ford fixed it with the same faulty parts. 20K miles after rebuild it began to slip again and now it was going to be my expense to repair it. Ford had not reengineered the parts and that would potentially mean another trans failure in the future so I traded the truck in and don't plan on buying another F-150.

Very good truck for hauling or even work truck

This is a truck so very expensive on gas but the towing capability is out standing and even great for company vehicles on construction job side of any job sites

Best vehicle I have ever owned

Traded my powerstroke in for this and I was really surprised by the towing on the 3.5 Ecoboost! It tows my RZR like it?s not even back there. I couldn?t be happier, it?s more comfortable than my F350 was too!

Ford F150 XLT 4x4 Offroad

Love this truck. Very roomy and comfortable to drive. The vehicle was in really great condition. The extended cab was very roomy, much more than anticipated.
