2011 Ford F-150 consumer reviews

This is a family car and is great for hauling loads, the bed holds up very well even when heavy or sharp objects get shaken up. Super smooth drive, almost too smooth. Gas mileage is pretty good for a truck of this size. Backing in to parking spots is a breeze.

So happy with this purchase thus far. Great experience buying through cars.com! Was able to make a great decision based on great info provided by the website.

This truck is the best vehicle you could ever own. It is an absolute beast. I would recommend this truck to anyone who ever wants a truck

Such a great, fun to drive truck that always looks amazing! The turbo boost engine gets great gas mileage and recent upgrades and repairs has engine running like it is new.

I absolutely love this truck. Except for the stupid suicide style rear doors on the extended cab. If I had to do it over again I would absolutely buy a crew cab with full size doors. Mine is an STX model and it has a lot of the options and features most people need without all the fluff that drives up the price. This is why I say it's an "excellent" value. Comfort is top notch. like I mentioned it's a value based model, and thus I have manual cloth seats. This is not a penalty by any means. I have taken multiple trips that are over 1,000 miles one way, most done in a single day. I have never complained about the comfort level on any of those trips. This is why I give "excellent" for both Comfort and interior designs And the 5.0 engine is amazing. For a 6000 lb brick, this thing is just plain QUICK. It will surprise quite a few other vehicles. This is why I give "excellent" performance rating. Mine is a first year for this engine as well as a few other things and it had some teething issues because of that. At around 25k miles the electronic steering rack set a code in the dash. I never lost power assist, I just had a warning in the dash. The 6spd transmission, while not new for 2011, was still in it's first few years. I have had a few issues with it. One being a failure of the internal wire harness of the trans which caused it to try to take off while in 5th gear. This happened at around 26k miles. I also had an issue where the transmission fluid pump would lose internal pressure while parked for more than a couple days and when first started after a long sit, there would be a delayed gear engagement waiting for the pump to build fluid pressure back up. Now the BIG ONE at around 35-40k miles I started noticing an engine knock. But it was so faint and intermittent that I felt having the dealer look at it would be fruitless, plus I have a 100k warranty so and I had no drivability issues so I let it ride. By 48k miles it was a prominent enough sound that I was able to get the dealer to agree there was a problem. New engine installed. with all of these major problems as well as a very small amount of minor problems (a speaker that failed, and a bad heater blend door actuator) I had to give an "Average" reliability rating. I truly feel that all of these problems are related to being a first year model. As for exterior styling I only gave it a "good" rating. Not because I dislike it. I LOVE the looks of this body style truck. But it came out in 2009 and now that the new body style 2015+ trucks are in their 3rd model year, this 2009-14 body style is definitely looking a bit dated.

I have wanted a truck, but more specifically and F150. Found a great deal on a used F150 and drove 1.5hr just to get it and it was worth the drive. Love the look of the F150 inside and out. Comfortable to drive; never got tired of being behind the wheel. Do not regret buying this truck at all.

Great truck overall, looks great nice ride. I owned my last 1999 f150 for 17 years 246,000 miles no major problems. Sold it a few months ago, it's still on the road working.

The Ford F150 has been a nice truck. I've enjoyed it very much the six years I've owned it. Ford didn't receive an excellent rating as some of the OEM parts were substandard and needed replaced, but after some tweaking, the truck was good.

love the design, the ride, the room-not feeling sandwiched inside, the performance, I love this color candy apple red.

Very comfortable interior with a smooth, quiet ride and love the gas mileage.. What an improvement from my prior 2004 F150.
