Best Truck I have ever owned
The 2013 F-150 XLT is a beautiful yet rough and rugged truck. The standard cab has a tremendous amount of leg room and storage behind the seats. However, the extra space results with a bad blind spot when navigating through angled intersections. Over all the truck has been everything I expected out of the legendary F-150 series.

A piece of American History
Bought a 2013 F150 STX with the 5.0 January of 2013, so this truck is 2 years old as of now. The brakes did shutter after around 28k miles, I changed them and we're good to go... I have no complaints runs great, no issues, sounds great, and looks great! If I had to point out something to look at, would be brakes as this truck has brake dust constantly on the from rims telling me the balance of breaking force is a little high in the front in comparison to the rear.

Not 100% satisfied
I bought a brand new 2013 F150 STX 4x4 last September. I did get a great deal with the rebates etc. My last truck was a 2001 F150 XL that I had 418,000 miles on it and it was about done. This truck performs great, smooth, but I have a ticking in the engine. Took it in and they couldn't find nothing wrong with it. The paint chips and scratches so easy and the interior is just so cheap. Everything is plastic. My basic 2001 F150 XL interior was made better than this. My gut feeling is this truck will not last me near as long as my old one.

What's Not To Like
Purchased 2013 STX with standard V6 nearly two years ago. Last new vehicle was a 1998 F-150, which had more than 100K on it when I got rid of it. No a single issue - replaced gas cap once. So far, extremely pleased with the new F-105. No issues, fantastic ride with 18-inch wheels and I'm getting more than 20 mph on the highway. Checked it and it was between 22-23 mpg on a trip. Happy owner.

FORD F150 Fails Again
I purchased a 2013 Ford F150 in July 2013. Paid extra for the ecoboost, thinking I"m going to get 22mpg. That is an outright lie. The truck under the best conditions gets 18 mpg. A Ford mechanic that I know says, yep that's right, that is all it's ever going to get. The ecoboost does provide a little extra power on acceleration. The Paint on my truck is already chipping at 6 months old. When I asked about fixing the problem, they would not cover it under warrantee. Why would the paint chip all along the bottom quarter panels of the truck. The truck has never been on gravel or off road. Just like the new F150 I purchased in 1994, the bumper chipped after a couple of months and they refused to take care of it then. I'm asking myself why I purchased another FORD.

2013 f150 xlt ecoboost.
bought truck in august 2013. after 11000 miles so much vibration in steering wheel when applying brakes thought steering wheel would come out of hands. took back to dealer where purchased. they turned rotors.. seemed ok until another 11000 miles and same problem. I own a 2001 dodge ram 1500 with 190000 miles and only replaced rotors 1 time. dealer where I bought it only wants to sell me a new truck. one dealer refused to work on it. finally found 1 to try and fixed. going to replace rotors. very unhappy with this truck

Our Third F150 in 35 years
This is the 3rd Ford F150 we've owned since 1978 and we still love this brand/model. Funny thing is, over the years we've gotten older and less reliable, but the Ford keeps on getting better. In fact, we gave our 1999 model to our son and his wife. Even with over 200k on the engine, it still runs strong. We love that they've added headrests to the third seat - easier on the grandkids heads when Grandma stomps on the brakes - ha ha! The upgraded sound system is wonderful. We have some kind of soundproofing that is so good, you have to keep your eyes wide open for emergency vehicles. With the Sirius radio blasting those 70's classics, it is hard to hear an ambulance approaching. Seating is so comfortable. Everything is perfect. We wouldn't change anything, except maybe the cupholders. With the center console up and a kid in the middle, the extra cup holder that extends from under the seat is essentially worthless. That's the only complaint so far.

F-150
Bought a leftover 2013 F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew with the 3.5 Ecoboost. I usally look for the leftovers when the new models come out, $5500 in rebates, and $5000 more off the truck, outstanding deal on the truck. Fitst off the Ecoboost is awesome, mine is a loaded XLT and with the towing package stock this truck will pull 11,300 pounds, more than I;ll ever use. Plus the 3.5 really has power, truly shocked how quick this truck is. This thing rides like a luxury car, and to say its roomy is an understatement. I've done some basic 4x4ing out on the farm, it has performed quite well. So far I've only towed 2000 pounds with it, the trailer sway software it has is awesome, and it actually works. I have'nt bought a new truck in 10 years, the F-150's are top of the line. Do your homework, nothing out tows this 3.5 F-150.

Good truck
The only thing they could improve on is location of the cup holders. They are located to close to the drivers right arm rest and it's a little Awkward. I also have a 2013 fusion and it's the same way. As far as overall performance it's far more than I expected.
