I have 2 F150s. A 2013 with 286,000 miles and a 2017 with 152,000 miles. They both run perfect and they are very impressive vehicles. I owned a 1500 Z71 prior and that was basically junk.

First off, when someone says the truck drives and rides horrible, did they not know we are entitled to test drive the truck first before purchasing. I love my 2023 Ford F150 XLT crew/camper package 6.5' box so far. Put about 5000 miles on it. Purchased used with low mileage. It has all the bells and whistles except for leather seats. Rides great, quiet, and more technology than I'll probably ever use. Endless supply of power with the 3.5 engine and all around mileage about 18-20 and 22-23 on the highway. I liked my 2012 Lariat but mileage was 14.5 all around. I test drove a Dodge and Chevy, but I like the feel of the Ford truck with Dodge a very close second. Chevy feels like the frame is weak and flexes over bumps.

I bought my 2023 F-150 new. I regret buying this truck. I have never been so disappointed in a new vehicle. The truck rides and drives horrible. Extremely uncomfortable. I am ready to get out of the truck after about 15 minutes of driving. The leather covered seats are hard and have no cushion or support. The back of the seat is wide and flat with no side bolsters to support you. The lumbar is ineffective and hits you above your lumbar region. You can feel the steel bars in the seat frame because of the lack of cushion in the seat. The gas pedal vibrates and buzzes and the oversized steering wheel is loose and shakes while driving. The truck is new, but it feels like the front end is already worn out. There is nothing sporty about this truck, I feel like I am driving a bus. I will never buy another F-150! Most uncomfortable vehicle I have ever owned.
