2018 f150 XLT 65000 miles

2018 F150 XLT with 65000 miles, GPS stopped working, navigation system stopped working, cam phasers, timing chains, tensioners replaced due to faulty parts manufactured by Ford ( no help from Ford to replace or repair) transmission shifts hard between 4th and 6th. Front and rear shocks replaced at 65000 miles ( worst wear I’ve ever seen on shocks driven its entire life on the highway). Can’t believe how poorly this truck is manufactured.

Quality.

Very disappointed in the overall quality of my F150. I have had 6 new ones and this is the worst by a long margin. I am considering Dodge Ram for my next new truck. They offer more combinations of wheels and accessories. Ford used to give you something as incentives to buy. [nice wheels, raised white letters on the tires, little things], now you get nothing. the aluminum body is very disappointing, Dents at the slightest contact with just about anything. Military grade my ass. Ford surely went down in quality. I've had a new F150 96, 99, 03,08.13 and now 2918 so I know a little bit about it.

Shorty engineering

Other than the interior, the quality is pathetic. I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone. Ford has rushed these vehicles with major issues to the engines. This is my 3rd one in 2 years, only because the dealership continues to take care of the defective product.

Automatic Transmission Failure

Was excited to buy my new 2018 F150, 5 yr 100k warranty on the motor, 60k warranty on transmission and drive train. My transmission failed at 62k miles. Coincidence? Don’t believe so after doing some serious Google searching, seems to be a long term and ongoing problem with their 10 speed transmission. Won’t buy another Ford.

It’s Just OK

Having electrical problems. When towing my trailer, if I stop to fill up with gas and then try to start it back up, sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn’t. Has left me stranded twice while away from home looking for someone to jump start it. Have had everything tested two times by Ford certified techs and they can’t figure it out. It also sucks the gas when towing which I expect to use more when towing, but it guzzles the gas. Have had wheel bearings and integrated wheels ends changed as well, thank goodness for the warranty.

Stupid roof

Nobody told me the panoramic roof would rattle and pop like a vietnamese rick shaw going down the road. F minus for this. I love everything else but that one misrepresentation about my $75,000 truck sours me on Ford altogether.

Could have done better.

Love the truck. Truck pulls my trailer great. Alright on fuel. Thing that upsets me is can’t put a plow on it. The other big problem is I feel the trans slipping from 3rd gear to 4th. I don’t like the dealer I bought it from.

Ford F150 Lariat Crew Cab

This is my seventh ford pickup and it is a nice vehicle but overpriced. Doors that open and close reliably should be a simple engineering feat that Ford cannot seem to master. I have already experienced problems with the door locks not functioning and allowing entry. I had the same problem with my 2015 F150. The new sync 3 is a step backwards. It is slower than the previous version and unimpressive.

F150 only buy in a warm climate

Love everything about the vehicle except the doors freeze up and won't open and then when I get them to open they won't close. What a bummer. The dealer is trying hard to make it right, but Ford really messed this one up. So when it is above freezing everything is great, let it get down into the teens, not so good!!! It has Ford Recall on it for the doors.

Great truck( LOUSY Transmission.

Great truck. This is my fourth Ford F-150 Platinum pickup. They are expensive trucks but I like the luxury ride they provide. I traded my last one to have the 10-speed transmission. The former six-speed transmission was a very smooth shifting transmission. The new 10-speed shifts like crap around the city at 40 mph. It clunks, jerks, and hesitates while trying to get in the right gear. But, when it shifts under a heavy throttle, it’s good. Ford should have worked the bugs out before offering this transmission 2019 models are the same!

2018 F150 5.0

Overall the vehicle is good, in the first 50,000 miles the engine has a knock to it (which I guess is standard for the coyote 5.0), replaced the front wheel bearings and rear brakes, tires, and an oil pressure regulator. There is a strange knocking noise at a certain RPM that sounds like typewriter noise almost, I’ve taken it in three times for this and have been told every time that it’s normal for this vehicle apparently. It should definitely not be something that is normal, it is the one thing that annoys me about the truck, maybe this has been corrected on future vehicles.

Almost five stars

Very good truck. It would have had a five star rating if it had a LSD rear differential. An open differential in northern Minnesota doesn’t work well in the winter.

My King Ranch

I love all the bells and whistles on my King Ranch with the exception of the engine turning off automatically at long signals. It slightly jerks the truck and is annoying. Yes, you can turn it off everytime you get in the truck, but I always forget. It would be better to have the feature off unless I want to turn it on.

Gas mileage is far below advertised. Otherwise fantastic truck

I am very disappointed in the gas mileage of my 2018 F-150 Eco-boost of an otherwise awesome truck. Reality is about 16-17 mpg combined driving average. All highway you can expect 18-22 mpg. These are all empty weight averages. If I place it in "Eco" mode and really watch my driving habits I can get 18 mph average. Mind you I am most likely paying more attention trying to get better gas mileage than enjoying driving my truck in this mode. Maybe change the chip to remain in the 20's mpg for combined driving.

A lot of plastic, stingy on safety equipment

F150 supercrew xlt 4x4 3.5l ecoboost with offroad and towing packages. Fuel economy is good when driven conservatively. They dont add the newer safety features that you now find on most cars until you pay $10-20k for platinum or king ranch-type levels. Tows very well compared to my last 2 v8 trucks.

Too many gadgets

All I wanted in a truck is standard transmission, four wheel drive, power windows and doorlocks and an am/fm/cd player. Don't need backup camera, don't need to know the temperature of my transmission, don't want to constantly be asked if I want to upgrade the software. The fuel economy readout is cute, but if I can't download the data to a spreadsheet, it is useless.
