The Ford F-150 is a Perfect Vehicle

I never was a truck girl--but I did have minivans and SUVs. However, the Ford F-150, with the 2015 redesign, has created a winning combination of space, functionality, speed, and fun drivability--all with fabulous motor choices to meet your needs. The 2.7 twin turbo Ecoboost is a blast to drive, is incredibly quick and nimble. It has a light to medium tow capacity (boats, small to medium campers, lawn equipment, etc.). The 3.5 twin turbo Ecoboost is nearly as fun to drive but also tows an insane amount. If you want fun with substantial towing, this is your engine choice. The 5.0 is a traditional, powerful motor for truck enthusiasts that will run forever. This is what I have learned and discovered now owning my second F-150. The vehicle is gorgeous on the inside, trimmed out beautifully, holds its value well, and is such a joy to drive everyday. The F-150 has many benefits over a sedan or SUV--no more putting gas cans in your cabin. You can put the smelly, messy stuff in the bed. You can load the bed up with all sorts of luggage, coolers, etc. Yet there is enough space inside the cab for either 5 or 6 (some F-150 trim levels have a fold up center seat in the front row if you want to fit 6). We absolutely love our truck, and I have several friends and family who have purchased an F-150 because of their experience in mine. This vehicle is a winner!

Great value if you want a truck

Ford rebates are the best. $15-20k off sticker the last 3 trucks. Next time I would get the rapture. Great overall truck. Ford puts out great trucks and cars

Stuck again, we dont know if we can trust this veh

We just had our 5.0 litre engine fail at 38,000 kilometers. Ford replaced it with a new warrantied long block. We are on holiday and the truck has overheated and shutdown now at 44,000 kilometers( only 6,000 kilometers since the new engine installed) We are 1,500 kilometres and 3 provinces from home in Canada. We feel really upset that our vehicle is not reliable!! We are now in a hotel waiting until Monday to see what will happen with our truck. Ford roadside will cover on their trip cancellation policy up to $500 dollars( combined total for hotel, rental cars ect. That certainly will go far!! Not to mention missed work, not knowing what is wrong or how long this will take to repair!! We don't know what will fail next!! We are losing faith in this product!!

love the truck except the engine

I love it, except I purchased the base v6. There is not enough power in this engine and has killed the whole truck experience for me. Other than that, I like the truck. Do not buy the base v6 engine.

Good looking and practical.

Really like the styling & practicality of this truck. Not high-end but stylish and functional. The color is a real eye-catcher. Didn’t get the engine I had hoped for but still happy with performance.
