Best Truck l've ever bought

Bought it a few weeks and anlLove everything about the truck. Plenty of power, and decent fuel economy as well with the 3.7 V6. Ford got it right with this truck and its optional engines.

Too New to Review

I have only had this truck for 6 weeks--too early to tell about a lot of features. Beautiful paint job and beautiful spray-in bed liner. Too early to review other features however...

F150 xls

Eco boost twin turbo charger - 360 HP - 420 ft pounds torque - its a screamer. Pulls my 8600 pound fifth wheel easily. Rides smooth and solid. 4 wheel drive have not tried yet. Good gas milage but 36 gallon gas tank is a me an bite on my wallet. I love the truck-the end.

Most comfortable truck i have ever had

Cars dot com helped me locate a specific truck i was looking for. It had to be shipped from out of state sight unseen but it was a great choice. If you are looking for a specific vehicle that is not avaiable at a dealer near you they will track it down. Thank you cars dot com

ECO BOOST

I was looking for a new truck. One of my friends bought a 2012 F-150 5.0 V8 an told me not to get it. I was told it gets bad milage and has no response time on the throttle. It does not pull good under a heavy load and i would need to program it in order to get what i was looking for. I bought a ecoboost and now i run circles around everyone under a load or just cruising. I would recommend that if you buy a F-150 that you buy the ecoboost before that V8

Love the Blue Oval

Bought FX4 4x4 with Eco-Boost and could not be more satisfied. I researched the Eco-Boost and talked to owners and it has been all that they said it was. I have had a few issues with the SYNC system,but that was because I didn't read the instruction book until I had to---- thats on me. Anyone who is looking for preformance and economy, I suggest that you take a serious look at the Eco-Boost F-150 ,you will be glad you did.

All the right buttons

Got an XLT F150 with the Ecoboost, Off-Road Package, Convenience Package, and Sync. Between the keypad, power adjustable pedals, electronic locking rear differential and Ford Sync it has all the right buttons, and the Ecoboost runs Strong with a capital S.

No Complaints Yet

My wife and I just purchased this F-150 back in may of this year. I have previously been a Ram owner and Jeep. The deal was to good to pass up. So I decided to lease one. Needless to say I bought and have imideatily put it to work. I have hauled two cars and bunch of furniture already. I got the 5.0L in it since that was what the sale was on and I have been very happy with the performance. I am currently getting about 21 MPG on the highway and 17 in the city. (I baby it to some extent results will vary. I have had no issue in putting a child seat in it for my two year old daughter she has plenty of leg room. I would definitly recommend this truck. My wife and I are seriously thinking about purchasing this one as lease end.

Great Truck

I have owned my 2012 F-150 Lariat, in White Platinum Met Tri-Coat, for over two months now and I can sum it up with one word "WOW". It has the Ecoboost engine and I am averaging 19.4 mpg. in city and highway combined plus 23.2 mpg. on the highway trips. However I am a "Vanishing Breed" in that I drive the POSTED speed limits! Over the years I have owned three other F-150 trucks, along with several other pickup trucks I have owned over the years, and I must say this one tops them all. Everything on my vehicle works as advertised and I can find no "Cons" to report. FORD engineers have hit a "Home Run" in the design and operation of the Ecoboost engine as all I can say is "WOW"! I can't say enough about this vehicle except to say, with over 1600 miles far, I am a very satisfied owner!
