2018 Ford F-150 consumer reviews

Eight years in my Ford truck. I love it. I looked at GM trucks (Chevy & GMC), still nowhere nears as comfortable as a Ford. Yes I’ve had all the known issues but carried warranties for my truck so transmission has been overhauled. Cam phasers twice (Covered by Ford one and Warranty 2nd time). Just overhauled the front end (bushings, control arm assembly, etc…). Truck still runs like new and rides even better now than when I bought, she is finally broken in and I love my truck. For taller drivers like me, Ford is way to go. Ford has more cabin space than any other truck out there. Ford trucks have the best styling and more towing capacity than anything else in the mkt. Next truck will either be a Raptor or F-250 super duty.

Every ford I have bought have gave me trouble all but one bough a ford expedition a 1998 it was the best truck the only thing my dash broke up but I still have it if I had a new dash but I bought a 2018 expedition trouble I bought a ford f150 2019 trouble gave the back to ford now I got a 2018 ford F150 bought it in 2023 in dec and now in 2025 transmission went out and so did warranty no one told me about it is a lemon and no help for it some one told me not to buy one but I was in love with ford now I don’t have a ride but still have a big note I will never tell anybody to buy a ford

I bought this truck used from Long-Lewis in Hoover, Alabama, in July 2025. I like the performance, gas mileage, and drive modes of the 3.5 Liter Twin Turbo with 10 Speed transmission. Lots of interior space, lots of interior and exterior lighting in the right places.

Absolute xxx of a vehicle. I will never buy a Ford ever again. In the less than 70k miles I’ve had this garbage truck I’ve had to replace the transmission, the powertrain and gear shifter has failed, the electronics on the interior have been randomly shutting off for the last 3 months and the latch on the rear, passenger door failed so I door won’t latch e and stay shut unless locked. Ford only offers warranty for 30k miles so they’re completely useless. Absolute piece of xxxx company with piece of xxxx vehicles who have piece of xxxx customer service. I will never buy a Ford again and recommend anyone reading this to never buy a 2018 Ford F-150. They’re garbage vehicles.

Bought it brand new. Comfortable and fast 5 liter…then the engine got noisy. It always ran but ticked and clicked. Started using oil. Under warranty but ford did nothing but say that was its nature. Then the door latches started to fail…nature of the beast. Transmission was inconsistent and often made a clunk and jump move when starting it. It never let me down but I moved on when the warranty was over. Could have been a great vehicle but I didn’t trust it or the dealer.

The 2018 Ford F150 has transmission issues. It has gear slipping issues and Fors is aware of it and does not stand behind their product.

Bought my F150 XLT NEW. AFTER less then A year my driver seat material turned black in several areas, Bad material, fixed with new skins. Cold start up, there is a noise that sounds like a pully free wheeling, Took it two two different Ford Dealers, Mechanics heard nothing. Bought the 100,000 Premium Warranty. Drive Trane not covered after 6yr.or 80,000 Mi. Started to have transmission trouble with shifting. Had it checked out before warranty ran out but as usual, nothing found wrong. Drove it past the warranty limit, took it back after I read about the recall but was told my truck was not built in the two factories that had the problem. Called Ford but of course you get to talk to some go between that tried to help, sent me back to Dealership to have the transmission Analyzed. Mechanic put on his computer and drove truck, Computer did not show the truck shifting sluggish or shifted hard going into higher gear. So again I get in my truck and like I tried to tell them, the transmission started shifting like I told them. Computer Has To Tell the Mechanics what is wrong before they can get back with Ford, of course they claimed the transmission shifted when the computer told it to. Driving the truck will tell what is going on but who ever drove my truck must not have feeling in their body and feet or did not drive the truck as I described. No I have a Truck I bought New WITH 100,000 mi. Warranty that is not helping me and I own a Truck I bought New and am just giving around town afraid to drive it where I may have to walk back home. I am 77 yrs. Old and Ford Trucks is the only truck I have depended on taking me where ever I wanted and never had ANYTHING happened like this. No More New Fords for me, Checkout out New Trucks this week but No More Fords.

My 5L, 2018 F150 keeps having problems with coils. Since there is one per cylinder and the cost of replacing one is quite high. This has become a problem. I love my truck, but this gives me cause to consider GMC next time.

I bought this 2018 f150 brand new. I drove it 148000 miles and never was rough on it. Mostly highway miles. It's been at the Ford dealership 3 months for a weird transmission and engine issue. Engine made an odd knocking noise, I always had the oil changed regularly, the transmission would jump from 4 to 1 to 7 or 8, maybe 10. Then back to 5 then 8 then 2 and so on. You never what to expect. I spent 9400 for them to replace the transmission after wasting time and money tossing parts at it. Then they came back after doing the same to the engine saying they wanted to replace it as well for $14,000 more. This is a 2018 truck I paid 51k for and now 6 years later it has nearly 25k in replacements needed!!! The Ford motor company refuses to acknowledge this is a lemon. Guess I'll have to have my attorneys get involved! Unbelievable. Do not buy one of these trucks. Look to another brand. I was a Ford only guy. Now I'm a never Ford ever again guy!!

Paid off, Now the Heater doesn’t work, Left wiper arm fell off in the rain. Shifter knocks/Clunks, Otherwise reliable truck. Need heating to work please.
