This truck has been awesome to me. The diesel engine pulls like no other I've owned, and is so much quieter than the older models. I have the lariat package, so the leather is great, love my pearl paint as well. Overall it's been my favorite rig to own.
I was looking at Journeys for a few months and I recently upgrade from a 2014 Chevy Cruze to a 2015 Dodge Journey RT. I'm in love with it. It's probably the best decision I have ever made. Yes I'm aware I only got a year newer vehicle than the one I had but my options were slim with price ranges. I wanted a 2016 or 2017 dodge journey but the price was to high and I was upside down on my Cruze. (Only had my Cruze 2 years on loan) Journey drives so smooth. And i love the interior design. This SUV is underrated by the critics. I think they should reevaluate it. It's a nice budget friendly Mid sized SUV and I love it. The gas mileage hasnt even been that bad either. Cant wait to take it to Florida.
Has more legroom than my impala 2011. Great and sharp looking.
Best car I've ever bought. Great ride- firm but smooth and quiet. Acceleration is strong but linear- not sudden jerk. Average 30 MPG. Handling is sporty- but not a sports sedan. Transmission shifts smoothly and always in the right gear- no hunting. Seats are comfortable but not on a long trip. Forward visibility is good, but headlights just adequate. Side and rear pillars block view- rear camera helps with backing, but not great- camera does not have any guide and fogs easily. Forward Collision Assist has activated 3 times when no car visible- twice in rain and fog, and once on a knoll. Side mirror alert rarely works when merging or changing lanes. Lane Assist tugs the steering wheel and is very annoying, so I leave it off- should be warning light and chime only. Now have nearly 36,000 miles and no mechanical problems, but I keep the Lane Assist turned off and wish I could turn of the Forward Collision Assist because it is too sensitive.
3 weeks ago, I bought a 2017 Ford F-150 XLT 3.5 TT 302A/Chrome package, has all the bells and whistles...absolutely beautiful truck. Being a certiefied pre-owned Ford, I was willing to pay the 36K...as I received a more then fair price for my Honda Pilot trade in. I gotta say, I really wanna like this truck. I'm 6'3", It's far and away the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven. It's wicked powerful...0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds. With all that being said. I've had 2 issues already with the truck. With in 48 hours of taking it home, the starter xxxx the bed. Had to have it towed and starter replaced. Okay parts break, they can be replaced. They played for it. Just today, I returned it to the dealer and got a loaner. Heard a rattling noise when I started it. Upon further investigation via internet, it could be the cam phasers or tensioners. Either way, I don't need my timing chain loosening up and rattling every morning I start it. Like I said, I wanna like this truck but the jury is still out. I'm optimistic and hopeful the dealer will make it right. So much for Certified Ford F-150's passing a 172 checklist and being the "cream of the crop" Evidently starters weren't part of that "172" check list. We'll see what they say when thay call back Monday morning with a diagnosis?
Has everything you could ever want in a car. We have a 2016 Ford Explorer limited. Seems to have every option ever invented ! Even has massaging seats.
I was completely surprised when I test drove the taurus. Never thought I'd buy one but one drive changed my mind. It's big, comfortable, fast and reliable. Plus bought it for a great price. Don't listen to the naysayers. Go see for yourself. I have a corvette I walk by to take the taurus. Plenty of room up front unless your a very large person. Fit and finish is impeccable. Motor pulls strong and transmission shifts with ease. Average about 23.5 mpg around town. Plenty of room in back and a trunk you could live in. Love the Taurus. Thanks
My next "new truck will be an '04-'08 Ford as well

I'm a born Chevy guy. Always have been. Its just that when I was shipping for my current truck, I tried 5 dodges, 5 chevys and 5 Fords. The Chevys were limp wristed jokes, and the Dodges rattled like shopping carts. Thus, I ended up in an(2006) XLT Lariat, Supercab 4x4. I think that was 2011. Just some disorganized thoughts:
1-its now 2019, and the only thing on the truck that failed for reasons other than extreme abuse and/or neglect just happened. Its this silly little oil filter gasket. Ive got the same fuel pump, alternator, etc. I've blown up the transmission and broken many suspension components, as I have always carried #1,000 lbs of tools with me, and never take them out of my truck. Couple that with the incredibly bad Houston hopscotch motorists(Jam on the brakes.Jam on the gas, repeat) that I've got to drive through daily, and one would think that the truck would've ripped itself apart years ago. But no.
I've towed overloaded trailers 2 hours up mountains in Flagstaff, 4, hours down (red hot brakes-I had to remove my brake fluid cap to allow a small amount to boil out), then cross the desert near the four corners in 110° heat as quickly as I could safely tow 10klbs. If150 disc brake return springsve run it for 48 hours strait to use my power inverter during Hf150 disc brake return springsarvey, and the list goes on, and on, and on.
I have no reason too suspect that the meet ones have gotten worse, bit since the difference may be having a truck pay for itself once, as opposed to paying for itself like 5 or 6 times, I'm unwilling to take the risk. I wouldn't consider buying a newer or older version as long as this one is available.
Great vehicle especially for its age. I wanted a rust free 350 super duty so I looked to western and southern states. I ended up with this vehicle from Nevada with no rust and only 80k miles. (About 5000 per year!). I drove it 1400 miles home to Wisconsin with no issues. Even 70 miles in 4x4 in a blizzard in Nebraska.
Great vehicle fun to drive and a beast of a tow vehicle.
Life long Chevy owner and they still are delivering. I’ve owned over 15 Chevy vehicles in my life and they continue to impress. Great power, the interior is well laid out and comfortable.
lots of room for tall or leggy persons,, 3/4 ton capacity. room for all my needs for camping gear. carries all my antique furniture buys large pieces and towing my low-bed trailer
This car looks 'classy', has lots of 'bells and whistles', lots of horsepower, very 'cushy' inside. Sadly, had to say good bye to our Jeep Sahara; she was not well. We'll miss her looks, but we'll enjoy the smooth ride, and cush of our Explorer.
Everything we needed.
Could have better interior storage.
The dealership reset the tire pressure sensors to clear light.
But ultimately I will have to pay to replace sensors
This truck is awesome! It moves and mama does have a lead foot! It will be great for towing our 5th wheel and is so comfortable. It's a beast and I love it!!
