2015 Ford F-150 consumer reviews

The new aluminum Ford trucks with ecoboost engines are a whole level above the rest. With proper care the bodies will last indefinitely. The weight savings increase economy and performance. The real innovation lies in the boosted engines. Power as required and economy when cruising along or around town. Now with a year of driving I marvel at the innovation Ford has employed. While the other makers play around with the old technology and tweak this and that Ford has made breakthrough innovations. I could not be more satisfied with the 2.7l 4x4 we purchased. On all the driving so far it is getting 24 mpg (US gallon) and performs flawlessly. What more can we ask of a 4x4 with tons of power when called on?

Bought my XLT SuperCab 2WD 5.0 certified used with 17,--- miles. I currently have just over 28,000 and could not be happier. I didn't really want a full size truck initially, I was in the market for a Tacoma/Ranger. But I shopped around and found what I felt was a good deal so I just bit the bullet and bought it. I was indecisive as to whether to get the 5.0 or the 2.7 EB, as both have similar performance, capability, and price. But I was leery about the long term reliability of a twin turbo 2.7 in a full size pickup, so I chose the V8. To say this truck exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. This thing is a beast when you want it to be, and a comfortable, quiet, relatively fuel efficient ride when you don't. I cannot say enough about the capability of the 5.0, it absolutely rocks in every way. It makes 385hp and will burn the tires off if you feel so inclined, and then it will turn around and get 23.9 real mpg(25.1 indicated) at a steady, flat 60mph at sea level. Even around town, I'm averaging 19.3 real mpg with slightly aggressive right foot and light traffic. I've never seen less than 16.6mpg under any circumstances, even heavy traffic with AC on. The steering is as silky smooth and easy as a Lexus, and the cabin is super quiet unless you're on the gas hard or the road is rough. The truck will ride relatively rough if the road is less than smooth, but it's a truck that can tow 9,200lbs so I suppose I can forgive this. In my personal opinion, the door hinges/latches could use some "beefing up", they don't feel very durable, and seem a bit "creaky" and cheap(not sure if this is simply due to the aluminum construction, or inferior design, or both). They don't close as satisfyingly as say a new sedan with steel body. But that is literally the only potential flaw I can find in this truck. The engine is stout as anything, the drivetrain feels just as stout, and the durability so far(in the last 11,000 miles) has been stellar despite my heavy foot and not-so-nice treatment of it thus far. My two biggest addictions in this truck is hearing that awesome American V8 roar when I floor it at 35mph and nearly break traction launching forward past the other cars, and seeing 25+mpg avg fuel economy on 55mph back roads. My $26,700 couldn't have been better spent. Kudos Ford.

I have had the 2015 F150 for 3 weeks now and have just over 1000 miles on it and so far I have to say it was a good buy. I have the 3.5 turbo with 3:55 gears and am averaging 21.8 mpg. this is about 70% highway. I am not the type to constantly kick in the turbo. My biggest concern is the aluminum body and how it will hold up to the weather in Upper Michigan and the gravel roads. You can hear the difference of a stone hitting the body of the aluminum. I highly recommend mud flaps. So far I am very happy with the F150 and I was surprised at the insurance cost, I was expecting it to be much higher.

The ride is NOT rough. It is as smooth or smoother than a 2014 Ram Laramie I owned with air suspension. Exterior looks are awesome and interior is well laid out. MyFord Touch works flawlessly. Ecoboost gets good mileage but sure can move this truck FAST. All in all a terrific package

I love this new truck bought from Buster Miles Ford in Heflin Alabama. Great deal and great people to work with.

Enjoy driving this pick-up. Great power and get up and go. This pick-up meets all of my hauling work that needs to get done.. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone wishing for a reliable pick-up.

Waited for the previous year clearance prices to show up, and maximumum rebates. Knew the features I wanted, and what I was willing to compromise on, which was very little. Cars.com informed me of where the best deals were and that's where I went. I tried to negotiate some better wheels in the discounted price, but was informed this price was non-negotiable. Fair enough. I accepted the deal as advetised and felt VERY satisfied. Cars.com saved me a ton of independent research and presented me with the truck i wanted for 15% less than the next closest similarly equipped truck. I will absolutely use this website again.

I bought the F150 and traded in a 2013 Ram 1500 because I needed more tow capacity. The Ram crew w/ 5.7 was rated at 8800lbs, this F150 is rated for 11800. Score one for the F150. I test drove the F150 on the same roads I drove the Ram on daily, and quickly noted the F150 stayed in the same gear, same speed, and same rpm level the Ram Hemi performed at. I was impressed with the low end torque, it is not just marketing hype. I live in a fairly hilly area (named the "Hill Country" for a reason!) and after 3300 miles my average fuel economy is 19.4. For winter season it is great. The Ram would get about 16. I hear others complain about the F150 mpg, but I suspect they enjoy the power and get in the pedal more than someone concerned about fuel MPG. On the open road I have gotten the 24 mpg advertised too. I bought the F150 for towing the trailer and finally did this past week. I could feel a huge difference right away (where the LOW rpm torque is), and again this isn't marketing hype. I have a 2 mile ascending hill to climb from a turn out, and I was able to get up to 55 where the Ram never could without a severe acceleration thrashing. I'm sold, best truck I ever owned (Chevy/2 Rams/Titan are behind me). The super crew/3.5 ecoboost/3.55 gears is the way to go! My one complaint is mine did not come with the "Max Tow pkg", when I installed my elec. brake controller, some dash disassembly was required. I have the tow pkg. The factory leaves the plug-in for the controller plugged in a psuedo-plug behing the dash...why? It seems like a passive-aggressive response to not getting the Max-tow pkg. My Ram had an easy to reach plug-in under the dash.

Drive the vehicle on different road conditions before buying. The truck I own is 2.7L crew cab and it rides like the tires are out of round. When I pull a trailer the ride is worst. The dealer says everything good. I believe the tires are bad, but dealer says the tires balance.

I love the truck for its power and features. The suspension of the FX4 package is not capable of county maintained dirt roads. This is a street truck the way it is set-up. Very unstable and forces the driver to crawl down any road with mild washboard conditions. The truck has had a horrible vibration in the front end as well as a grinding noise. The engineers say this is normal. Where it was doing this is 4A and 4W drive settings, it now does it in two wheel drive. Paid 50+K for a vehicle that grinds and vibrates through the accelerator pedal. Not too happy. Ford really thinks this is OK?
