2012 Ford F-150 consumer reviews

Very happy with overall performance and great fuel economy. I can go over 1000 km on a tank of gas! Towed the 7000lb trailer last summer over 3500 km, what a pleasure. Out pulled my brothers 2500 GMC.

I have had my truck less than a year. The tire won't hold air because the rim cracked. Ford won't warranty it. So I'm trading it in on a good truck with a warranty that isn't useless. For anyone looking for a tough truck fords not it. I never even took it off road!!!!

I finally made the leap into the Ford camp and I am happy every time I take my 2012 supercrew 4x4 xtr out for a drive. I got the 353 gears because I wanted a better fuel economy. People who want fuel economy need to stay away from 4x4 373 and 410 ratios. Build quality is excellent with a very pleasing and usefull interior. If you want a mans truck that will work all day then this vehicle is it. Man I love the 3.5 ecoboost. Quiet and power that embarrasses the V8s.

I think the truck looks good. The 5.0 L engine tries to die at low speed light pressure on gas pedal when cold but runs pretty good when warm. The My Ford Touch system is made by Microsoft, it freezes up and stalls just like windows does, What a joke this system is. The ride is comparible to a dump truck with no suspension. The dipstick can't be reached to check the oil unless you have a step ladder. The plastic grille busted after 7000 miles and it was only opened by the dealer twice to change oil. Ford would not replace or repair the grille. They said it was common for them to break when closing the hood. If you want a truck built tough, stay away from Ford.

I JUST GOT A F150 5.0 4X4 ..DRIVES BETTER THAN MY 2010 5.4 WORK TRUCK ,ENGINE IS SMOOTHER AND SUSPENSION MUCH IMPROVED 1400 MILES AND AVERAGES 17MPG MIXED DRIVING W 3.55 REAR RATIO.I would have considered a eco boost but too much money for an option for a v6 ,and usually ordered with other options so is even more.

Purchased new, have had it for three weeks and am loving this Ford truck. Got the 5.0 V-8 and it has all the power I need. Put it in 4x4 over the past weekend and it did everything I asked of it. Came with the "automatic manual" transmission and in 4x4 low range and "manual", it forded a creek, climbed a couple of medium hills and handled extremely well with a comfortable ride. I use a truck as a truck, and the Ford F150 delivers. Still breaking in, averaging 16 mpg combined with 1,200 miles on the odometer in mixed driving. I am seeing the mpg slowly increase as miles are added. If your on the fence on choices, fall on the FORD F150 side!

I did much research on the Ford F-150 with the Ecoboost engine. First of all let me start by saying I really like my truck. It is a 2012 FX4, it is nice looking and very comfortable. The thing that eluded me when shopping for this truck was any real fuel economy data. The truck is a 4x4 with a 3:73 axle ratio. Ford claims that the truck should get 15 City and 21 Highway. Therefore, I was hoping to average around 17mpg. I have not done any truly highway driving yet. In mixed driving, however, I am getting 15 mpg. So if you are like me, who bought a truck like this hoping to save some money on fuel, I believe that the rated fuel economy is just a fallacy. The Ecoboost option adds $1,500 to the cost of the truck and I am unsure at this time if that money is well spent or not.

I am very happy with this truck. I have a 2012 F-150 Super Crew XLT with a 5.5' bed. The interior is comfortable for a person my size 6' 7". I am even comfortable sitting in the back behind where I need the driver's seat. The best features for me right now are the Microsoft Sync, the heated mirrors, power rear window and of course my Ecoboost engine. The engine is REALLY powerful. I was skeptical at first of a V6 in a full size pick up but the Ecoboost with the twin turbos is a monster and has power to spare.

The vehicle has all the bells and horns and every one works great. the price was very fair and the dealer staff was outstanding, very open and hornest about the vehicle.

F150 XLT SuperCrewCab ECOBOOST - A Man's Truck with all the bells and whistles plus plenty of legroom front and back along with super quick acceleration and top of the line towing power! Makes the Gmc/Chevy look puny and avg over 20 mpg on highway while the gas hog Dodge will get u 14. Foreign makes not even in the same league plus they're always back at dealers for latest quality shortcut recall.
