The Best

2018 XTL, 4X4, 302A Package 48000 mi. Other than wheel bearings, the vehicle has been flawless. Lots of room and the 2.7L has pep and is economical to operate. My major complaint is OE running boards, the chrome peels. No issues with the motor or transmission. Only expense other than fluid changes was new front brakes. This vehicle is driven in Northern Ontario and performs remarkably well in snow and rough roads. The 5' bed is perfect for our needs of hauling material for our DIY projects. We have hauled up to 3/4 yard of gravel without any difficulty It is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

5.0L V8 engine 2018 F150 XLT Nothing but Problems

I bought my truck new on Dec 30th of 2018. I initially loved it. But my first warning sign was the engine was losing oil almost immediately- I set my oil changes for 5,000 miles. By the time I had an oil change it was right at a quart low. I thought it was a fluke and got 10,000 mile oil as I am very busy and it saves time. At 7,500 miles the truck was 2.5 Qts low on oil. I switched to 3,000 mile oil and oil changes then. The engine was also making a plastic raspy noise whenever I let off the accelerator. Fast forward to this June. At this point Ive had the truck 3.5yrs, 86,000 miles. Never missed an oil change/service. The engine light starts flashing. So I have it towed to a local mechanic thinking it was maybe coil packs. He was stumped. Next have it towed to the Ford dealership. They call me today saying it has multiple cam timing issues. The cost to fix it is $4,700!!!!! FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED.... The whole reason I invested in a new truck was so that I would have something that would be dependable for many years. Instead, I get a new truck that hasn't even lasted as long as the used trucks I've bought. I could not be anymore more disappointed and angrier with the quality of this truck. It's a pretty truck, but if you want something dependable, look elsewhere.

2018 F150 Limited

Luxury? Check. Utility? Check. What can you say about an $80k truck? Take the body of a workhorse F150 and squeeze in the cabin of a Lincoln. The 3.5L turbo Ecoboost has absolutely no issues moving this massive truck around. The 10 speed transmission is smooth to the point that I rarely feel it shift. Even when towing or with the box loaded. The cabin is eerily quit and supremely comfortable. The heated, cooled and massage(!) seats make even the longest road trip a pleasant experience. Read seat passengers will appreciate the heated rear seats, and plenty of usb, 12v and 110v charging options. I've put 55k miles on this truck, and the only mechanical issue I've experienced is a problem with the power running boards not fully extending. For a full size pickup, the ride is surprisingly smooth and the included driver assist features will make a lazy driver out of anyone. If you want a vehicle with the capabilities of a truck, and the comfort of a luxury sedan you can't go wrong with the F150 Limited.

Love mine!!

Bought mine new in ‘18. I’ve waited to write a review to see how the 10 speed v-6 turbo would hold up. I love this truck. Torque will put you back in your seat when needed. Governor kicks in at about 107 mph. LOL 60k miles on her now and love it as much as day one!!

I would recommend it

I have owned it since 2017 and it's just as good as my other F-150's. 2.7L gets me 24.9 MPG on my trips to Florida. Around home its 19.8 MPG. Handles towing well.

Excellent Experience

Excellent truck for towing my RV trailer. Have it equipped with Max tow pkg and 3.55 rear axel ratio with twin turbo V6 ecoboost engine. Getting avg 18.3 mpg w/o towing and 10.2 w/tow. Also have the Lariat trim with trailer backing assist and navigation. Bought it used from Mahwah Ford Mahwah NJ from Greg Cummings. Excellent experience all around no hassles at all. Highly recommend them

Very nice pickup.

I traded up from a sport model to a Lariat for features such as a longer pickup bed, off road package, less miles, chilled/heated seats and so on.
