The alignment has to be done every 2 weeks because of the lift on the truck.

Performances of the truck is good. The alignment has to be done every two weeks because of the lift but other than that, it is a very reliable truck. The suspension is questionable. But I have more than 200,000 miles on it. I recommend this truck and the brand.

Pat R

The ford f-150 lariat is everything I need it to be!

I love everything about my truck. It is rough when I need it to be, but I can take the family out to dinner in it as well! I like to be able to use the sync system for hands free calling and the onboard satellite navigation to find my way around. All in all, it is everything I need!

Toni S

If you are looking for a truck for a family, this is your truck!

We bought this truck brand new and it has been very reliable. I have had no problems with it whatsoever. This truck has more space than any other truck I have seen and that is one of my favorite things about it since I have children. There is plenty of space in the back seat.

John H

2011 ford f-150 XLT supercab 4x4.

Rear ended went out after 45 days of having. Other than that absolutely love the truck. Very comfortable and reliable. Would recommend a ford f-150 to anyone looking for a mid size pickup truck. Good on gas very comfortable and dependable. And looks great.

William S

How spacious it is and its ability to tow.

I like how spacious the truck is. I like the power the truck has. I like having the ability to tow. I dislike the gas mileage.

Brenda Y

F-150 crew cab 4 wheel drive

I have a crew cab truck, it is very roomy in the and back. The front seats can be all the way back and there is still plenty of legroom. I love sitting up higher when driving and this truck is excellent for this. The only thing I don't like about it it's hard to park, otherwise this truck is just what I want to drive.

Ben B

My truck is very reliable.

I very much enjoy my truck, it has been very reliable, I have only had to change an alternator on it and it has been very good for me, it has enough space for friends to ride with me and has enough power to tow whatever I need to. The gas mileage is good except when towing, it is comfortable, and I take good care of it with routine maintenance.

Ken B

That the truck is American made. And that it is not cheap.

The truck is very dependable, and does not cost a lot for any repairs, and I have had not too many at that. It has four wheel drive for going a lot of places a car can not, and it gets good gas mileage, and It is in very good shape for a 2011 truck.

TRASH

Bought a 2011 f-150 xlt 4x4 Supercab with 130k miles. Bought wholesale, as I’ve done with multiple chevys in the past, all similar age/mileage/condition. In the first 7k miles the truck has needed: Fuel pump-$700 Fuel pump control module- $100 New pcm- $700 New oil pressure sensor- $20 Radio (the THIRD one put in this truck)- $300 I have also had problems with wires breaking because they toured the loom right next to the left front wheel. This truck was designed by toddlers. I will never own another Ford product again. All of these things are very common problems and somehow people keep buying f-150s.

Joe brown

200,000 miles

It's still going runs great looks like it's new

Derek M

Rusting all over the place. Fenders and rear panel.

It has been reliable overall, but I have had to change out a lot of parts on it. On top of that, the actuators in the two of the four doors have gone out and need replaced, and it is rusting in the typical areas that a ford rusts. I will not buy another ford in the future.

James A

Not worth buying for the money they charge you.

Engine capability not very good, and drives really rough. I will say this much that the seating in the crew cab is very comfortable. I have the ecoboost engine and unfortunately I have had nothing but issues since purchasing this vehicle. The gas mileage is actually pretty good.

Jared P

Ecoboost is trash, strong but trash.

Have had so many issues with this vehicle. Spent almost 7k in repaired the 2.5 years I owned it. Injectors, cylinders, crankshaft system all went bad. Ecm went out taking weeks of work to fix. If I currently had a job due to the pandemic I would immediately sell and buy gm or really and other vehicle. Do yourself a favor and buy the 5.0 if your buying ford.

Madison M

Basic used 2011 ford truck.

Truck has lots of mechanical issues. Have had to replace almost every part besides the motor itself. Very costly. But very luxury on the inside even to be a older vehicle, very roomy and clean. Would recommend leather interior instead of cloth. Overall very manageable truck if you have the funds.

Eddie

Dependability

Ford yes but my 2011 F150 no. Have had to put several thousand dollars in it and it doesn't even have 60k miles yet and needs a thousand dollars worth of work done now. The 3.7 v6 is terrible. Poor fuel milage,underpowered and just a slug. The brake rotors have it ready to shake your teeth out your head. The trucks a one owner also. I believe this truck come from the factory bad. Love Ford but thinking Ram after this experience

Fatbardha D

The title of vehicle is ford f-150 year 2011.

Everyday is a new problem with my car. It is not comfortable. Before one month has problem with starter and flywheel. It has mechanical problem at the wheel. It has problem with brakes all the time. It makes a strange noise sometimes. I am tired with this make and model of car, because I have spent a lot of money to repair it.

What Problems Does the 2011 Ford F-150 Have?

The 2011 Ford F-150 has fewer complaints than the 2010 model, but more than the 2012. It also has a lower number of complaints than other full-size trucks. The most common problem owners report is the engine stalling while accelerating. Replacing the spark plugs and coils fixes the problem, and Ford has issued technical service bulletins instructing dealerships to change them on affected trucks. Owners also report the rear window shattering when using the defroster. It’s usually a manufacturing defect in the glass causing it to break with the change in temperature. Electronic power steering problems also exist on the F-150, but are not as common as on other Ford vehicles. Replacing the power steering motor and steering rack fixes the problem.

There are six recalls affecting the 2011 F-150, average for a truck its age. Recalls include the body control module, transmission shift lever, transmission downshifts, and issues with the gear selector lamp in the dash. The most serious is the transmission downshifting since it can cause damage to the transmission or cause the rear tires to lock up. Six recalls and four investigations reveal serious problems with popular pickup.

What are the Prices, Models & Specs?

The 2011 Ford F-150 is average-priced for a full-size truck, and available from $12,193 to $31,534, depending on the mileage and model. When new, it had a retail price of $22,720 to $51,770. It depreciates slower than average, losing only 39% of its value in the first five years.

XL is the base model. It’s designed to be a work truck purchased by fleet operators and has 17-inch steel wheels, manual door locks, vinyl bench seating, and an AM/FM stereo system.
XLT is above it. Included features are power locks, cloth seats, remote entry, power windows, and an upgraded stereo with CD and AUX playback.
Lariat is next in the lineup. Added features include leather seats, 18-inch alloy wheels, an LCD driver information display, and Sync infotainment system.
King Ranch is a luxury version with a rugged two-tone exterior that looks at home on a farm. Features include remote start, power seats, ventilated front seats, a rearview camera, and upgraded leather.
Platinum is a luxury model with a refined exterior suited to city driving. It features second-row heated seats, satin metallic trim, supple leather seating, and wood trim throughout the truck.

How Long Will the 2011 Ford F-150 Last?

The 2011 Ford F-150 will last over 250,000 miles when properly cared for, average for a full-size truck. Trucks are usually built to last longer than regular vehicles since they travel more miles in a year for work. Maintenance costs are more expensive than other vehicles in its class. Repair Pal estimates it will cost $830 per year to maintain.

Patsy A

It is very reliable. We had a minor problem, so minor I cannot remember right after we bought it but the dealership fixed it. Like I said, very minor and nothing that would be a safety issue. We never have trouble, never break down, never have had a flat tire, etc.

Lisa C

It is very reliable. I think the transmission is slipping but it is 8 years old with no other major issues.

ethan o

No ford is one of the best dealers in Texas there are no problems with this truck that I have bought. I love this truck more than any.

Tracy M

We have had problems with a computer in the transmission. We have replaced the switch in the fan control 4 times and it's going out again. The lug nuts are junk and round off when they rotate tires which gets expensive at 120 dollars a time. We have had brakes many times. Tie rods, bearings and it uses oil. I am sure I am missing things but I can't remember it all.

Jesse M

My 2011 ford f150 has been reliable so far. I haven't had any major problems with my vehicle. It gets praised for it is looks and handling even in 2019.

Kevin P

Yes, once it hits about 150,000 miles it begins to break down. I have had to do many repairs on it. I don't know how much longer it has.

Alan E

Have not had to have anything fixed since I got it in 2015. Normal maintenance and it is great. As seemingly with all ford products as it ages you start to develop some electrical glitches, but so far nothing major.

Elise O

It is very reliable and has had minimal problems. Aside from regular maintenance we have not had to do any major repair work.

What Technology & Safety Features are Included?

Technology in the 2011 F-150 is good for a full-size truck, but it’s not class-leading. A redesign in 2015 adds more technology, but is more expensive on the used market.

Base technology includes an AM/FM stereo system in the XL model. A CD player and AUX port are added to the XLT.
Upgraded technology includes Sync navigation with an eight-inch touch screen, and Bluetooth connectivity.
For safety, there are airbags, stability and traction control systems, and antilock brakes. Optional features include a rearview camera.

What Engine Options are Available?

The 2011 Ford F-150 engine options include two V6s and two V8s, with the former going toe-to-toe with the latter. Performance is good in the 2011 Ford F-150, and it has the highest towing capacity of any half-ton truck. Both the 6.2L V8 or 3.5L EcoBoost V6 tow up to 11,300 pounds depending on the cab configuration.

The base engine is a 3.7L V6 with 302 horsepower and 278 lb.-ft. of torque.
Above that is the 5.0L V8 producing 360 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque.
A 6.2L V8 is the most powerful, making 411 horsepower and 434 lb.-ft. of torque.
The fuel-efficient 3.5L EcoBoost V6 has 365 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque.

What Colors Options are Available?

How Big is the F-150?

The 2011 Ford F-150 is a half-ton truck, similar in size to other vehicles like the Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500. Three cabin configurations are available including a two-door regular cab, 2.5-door SuperCab, and four-door Super Crew. The SuperCab has limited legroom in the second row, best suited for children or short trips. Passenger room is excellent in the Super Crew, and adults easily fit in the second row. A 5.5 foot, 6.5 foot, or eight foot bed is available as well.

How Does the 2011 Ford F-150 Compare to Other Trucks?

Owners rank the 2011 F-150 6^th out of 15 full-size trucks. At the top of the lineup is the Ford F-350, which is a larger and more expensive truck than the F-150. It has features not found on the F-150, including a diesel engine, gooseneck trailer attachment in the bed, and optional dual rear wheels. The F-350 is built to tow much more than the F-150, and is a better choice if you need a serious work truck. An F-150 is a better choice if you want a regular daily driver, and do not need to tow construction or farm equipment.

Another half-ton truck close to the F-150 is the Toyota Tundra. It’s more expensive than the F-150 with a higher starting price, but has a lower cost of ownership with fewer problems. The F-150 has better styling, technology, and can tow more than the Tundra. Overall, if you need a more capable work truck, the F-150 is the better choice, but if you want a longer-lasting truck, the Tundra is the way to go.

Final Verdict: Is the 2011 Ford F-150 a Good Truck?

Based on our research and owner reviews, we say yes, the 2011 Ford F-150 is a good truck. It does everything a shopper needs from a truck. It has a roomy four-door cabin, and reliable engine choices. Where it falls short is with a rough ride, and higher ownership costs compared to other large trucks. Overall, if you need a half-ton truck, the F-150 is a fantastic choice.

Red ford f150. It's a great truck.

I've had this truck since 2011 and it's been very reliable. I had done regular maintenance on it so it hasn't had any real problems. It's comfortable and fun to drive. I would highly recommend getting a ford f150. I plan on keeping it for as long as I can.

Julie S on June 17, 2021

The envy of my 2011 f-150.

My 2011 f-150 is not just a means of transportation for me, it is my pride and joy. The color was limited to a select few of ford vehicles and to this day I have yet to see another truck like mine. I take very good care of it and I often receive compliments on 'my new truck' but in reality it has over 200k miles on it and a shine like it just came off the show room floor. The leather seats are climate controlled for comfort in any weather. In addition I can seat 6 adults in comfort. I have a tunnel cover that has been custom painted to match my limited edition brown paint job. My audio package is Bluetooth enabled and I could go on for hours about the bells and whistles that my truck 'pride and joy' is equipped with.

John B on June 15, 2021

My truck is awesome. I would recommend one to anyone.

My vehicle is very reliable, comfortable and one of my favorite vehicles I have owned. The seats are great. The amount of room in the back is awesome. The tailgate step and handle make it very easy to get in the bed of the vehicle. It tows my camper very well and is very easy to tow with.

Ge H on June 10, 2021

Tough, durable and rugged.

Its reliable tough durable and rugged and helps me accomplish everything I want to do from traveling ton hauling a trailer or pulling a boat. Its family friendly and has enough room to comfortably and safely carry other people and pets. It's one of the best vehicles in its class.

Matt N on June 10, 2021

2011 f150 supercab lariat review.

My f150 is a great vehicle. In the 3 years I have owned it, I have had minimal problems. Normal maintenance needed only. The lariat trim level is great with heated and cooled seats. I used to average 18 miles per gallon before a lift kit and bigger tires. I now get 14 miles per gallon. This truck is also used as a work truck and tow vehicle. I have towed many vehicles on a flat bed auto transport many miles with zero issues! This has been a great truck!

John T on June 10, 2021

The truck has amazing space.

None my ford f-150 has 145k miles with no problems, just regular service. I love my ford’s and will not even consider buying anything else. Ford builds an amazing truck. It is one tough truck and has gotten me through a few winters without a problem. The rust underneath the truck is there but it is not to bad. Fuel is good too and long as you stay off the gas on the highway.

Arlin E on June 9, 2021

My thoughts on 2011 ford f150.

I like driving it but it is getting a bit older so does have the things that start happening to that year. I have not had any real issues with it though and would recommend it to anyone. It really does drive good. Seats are comfy for a bigger guy that I am and does feel spacious.

Louis B on June 5, 2021

Ford f-150 fx4. Sporty, fast, and elegant all in one package.

My truck mainly has highway miles and no problems. I do routine preventative maintenance. I bought the ford brand new because it was sporty, fast, and elegant all in one package. My truck has never been wrecked or anything and do not drive it very often. I did just have to replace a tire but I let the tire pressure get way too low.

Harris Turner on June 1, 2021

James W on June 1, 2021

Love my f150. I would highly recommend it to anybody.

I have had zero problems with my f150 and will be looking to buy a new one within the next year or two. It has plenty of space, drives smooth, does better than expected with gas, and is comfortable to sit in for hours at a time. I would highly recommend.

Luke F on June 1, 2021

Reliable vehicle with some random noises that do not affect performance.

The truck has been pretty reliable so far it has had some weird noises here and there but I attest that to the age of the vehicle (2011). Overall it has been a fantastic truck to own and the uses are endless for it. I would recommend the ford f-150 to anyone who ask.

Carmen D on May 30, 2021

Very well designed and last longer.

No problem that the usually maintaining good condition love it, also as a primary care we always trust the company, I highly recommend it, to everyone to get one, but maintained is kind expensive but it worth it! Ford really awesome company, we looking forward to but another.

Mark D on May 25, 2021

Rust problems have been addressed.

My main issue is rust around the wheel wells and rocker panels. It just started recently and has really negatively impacted its appearance. I understand the 2016 and newer are aluminum. I am very pleased with the rest of the vehicle and am only looking to upgrade in order to tow our larger 5th wheel.

Stephen B on May 24, 2021

Luxury truck. Like driving a SUV.

Problems: I do not love the auto adjusting lights on the dashboard. I would prefer to be able to manually turn them on whenever I want to. Performance/reliability: top notch. Never have a concern that it is not going to make it. Comfort: could be better if it had a captains chair or a bucket seat but definitely something could sit in for 5-6 hour drive. Features: love the fact that the doors open to almost a 90 degree angle. It makes getting items in the backseat much easier. I have the eco boost feature and now that I have it I couldn't imagine ever going back. It gives you just enough power while remaining at a v6 and can go about 380 mpg on a moderate sized tank. All in all I am now a brand loyal buyer after having a ford and will never buy another truck brand.

Sophia T on May 16, 2021

F-150 is a workhorse perfect for country living.

We live in rural area, so having a reliable f-150 truck is quite handy and necessary in bad weather condition. We go shopping at costco once a month, and buy a lot of stuff. We also visit home depot and sears to buy large home appliance and heavy wood furniture once or twice a year. Owning a truck is better than owning a car.

Charlotte V on May 3, 2021

It moves extremely well and handles very well.

The king ranch has more features than our previous ford f-150. I like that it seems to have better traction and we are able to go more places. The sound system plays great music. The seats are very comfortable and you can have heat in the winter and cool in the summer. It is a nice moving, handling vehicle.

Rebecca L on May 1, 2021

Ford f-150s are the best trucks ever.

I love my truck. The crew cab has enough room for my kids to be comfortable in the backseat. The drive is smooth and the engine is reliable. It handles like a car but does all the work of a truck. Before this, we had a f250, which we loved, but this gets at least twice the mpg and handles highways speeds more easily.

Chris H on May 1, 2021

Overall I would highly recommend it if you are not hauling heavy loads.

The towing is the only complaint that I have with the truck. With it having a V8 it should be able to haul more. The ride can be a little rough on difficult roads but as a whole. A good truck. My other complaint is it doesn't have a handle on the door to help the driver in the car. The passenger side does but not the driver door.

Greg B on April 29, 2021

Ford trucks are built to last.

This truck is overall the most reliable vehicle I have owned. I bought it used in 2014, and in 6 years going on 7 I have only had to do routine maintenance. There have been no mechanical issues, and the only complaint I have is the usual ford rust. This was probably made worse in my case by living on a dirt road, but if I had it to do over I would absolutely buy this truck again.

Tearza E on April 24, 2021

It has a very smooth tube.

Personally I do not have many problems with my vehicle. I love how smooth the ride is and how spacious the cab is. Only think I would like would be the gas mileage could definitely be better because I have to fill up way too often. Although, I do like how big the tank is gallon wise. It may be expensive to fill but it lasts.

Brandy L on April 13, 2021

I will always own a ford truck.

I have no issues I have travel all over the USA. I have pulled a pull behind camper with no problem. I love that I can use it to pull out people. I am looking to purchase another one in next year. I have always own nothing but a ford truck. The bed is of the truck is good size and service so many purposes.

Randy Popp on April 12, 2021

200k and still going strong

Great truck with over 200k on it. The only problem is I have with it is the rear cab corners rusting out. I guess it catches water there and it causes it to rust from the inside to the outside. Great truck but the need to have a recall to fix this rust problem.

Rachel G on April 9, 2021

Ford for life. A never let me down ride.

Performance is standard of a ford. Amazing. I have had an issue with the air actuator. An inexpensive part but the placement wasn’t well thought out. And it is a $300 repair. However the overall reliability of my vehicle is unmatched. As a firefighter emt it is essential that I am able to make it to work no matter the weather. And my ford has yet to let me down.

Lucy H on April 9, 2021

My precious yet useless car.

My car is old. The battery dies easily and the lights go on and off frequently. The color is fainting away. My car keeps making a weird sound. I had fixed like four times. I think I might need to buy a new car. But, I do not have the money to afford a new vehicle. So, for now I can only make small changes to my car. I just hope it can last me, two or four more years. So I can save enough to buy a new one.

Kayla C on April 7, 2021

Worth the buy! Has a surprising amount of power and always gets the job done!

The truck itself is actually great. I haven't had any major issues. It is 9 years old and still runs like a champ. The only issues I have had with anything at all is caused by personal use and abuse. My husband owns and runs a tree cutting service so we are constantly hauling trailers with equipment or the dump trailer loaded down with wood. That poor truck is worked to the max and still gets the job done. It is honestly shocking sometimes. We did add aftermarket tires and suspension kit as well as better shocks but even before all that it still never quit and always got the job done.

Christopher R on April 5, 2021

Ford f-150 truck 2011, XLT, great for family, work and vacation.

The problems are bad turn radios and problems with the computer. It has great performance for a ford truck. It is really reliable in fact it is the only one of my vehicles I do not have to worry about. It is really comfortable for long trips and had great leg space. I love the seats, space init, the radio system and cruise control.

Chris J on April 1, 2021

5.0 liter F 150 2011 summary

Electric power steering going out and expensive to replace due to the fact its electric. Gas cost a lot since its a V8. Parts are expensive at least for quality parts. To much electrical configurations to vehicle make repairs more difficult to do on my own. Compared to the ecoboost there is less HP

Tanya W on March 30, 2021

2011 Ford f 150 vermillion red

Love my truck. It has air heat cd player hands free phone radio control on steering wheel. Tow hitch

Robbie L on March 29, 2021

I am a tall person so the leg room in the front was very important

No problems,good gas mileage,comfortable,good leg room even in back seat,bed big enough to haul everything I need to haul,good visa left on both sides

Damian G on March 28, 2021

That it is a safe truck for a family of 4

I love the power of the truck even though it's a V6 and it gets pretty good gas mileage. I don't like how many "little things" have gone wrong with the truck. Little repairs have added up to almost $15,000

Dustin M on March 27, 2021

Once a ford owner, always a ford owner. A brand you can trust for years to come.

Ford has always been my go to when it comes to both performance and reliability. Along with the great style ford vehicle ride great and are very comfortable on long trips. As auto technician myself, I have worked on my different makes of vehicles. They all break down but when it comes to working on a ford I noticed that parts are easily available and the repairs are easier compared to other makes. Style has alway caught my eye throughout the years. Interiors are stylish and never have that bland look to it. Along with that controls are easy and well placed for comfort. Performance is awesome. Engines have good power and backed by well made transmissions it makes them incredible machines. All around, ford vehicles are in my opinion, on top and will always be on top for many more years to come.

Michael M on March 26, 2021

Good truck overall with a few minor issues.

Besides replacing the radio and air conditioner it has been a reliable truck. Basic maintenance other than that is all that has been needed so far. It is a comfortable truck that has solid four wheel drive. The truck does not do well on gas mileage though, it averages 14-15 miles per gallon and I would like something close to twenty miles per gallon.

mark W on March 25, 2021

It has plenty of passenger room.

I like the room and the look. I dislike the the gas mileage

Jenna M on March 22, 2021

New truck owner! First truck ever.

I have had my truck from about 8 months now. There has not been any major issues or complaints. It is such a smooth ride, and feels very safe. It is very spacious and comfortable. I have a short 5.5ft bed but it works out because I do not plan on hauling anything larger than that. It worked perfectly because I bought it right before moving houses. I have always wanted a truck and love it!

Christina P on March 20, 2021

Incredible one of a kind truck!

I love my truck, its tough, powerful and reliable. It has a comfortable ride and it's easy to put into 4 wheel drive. The engine is incredible and the interior and dashboard electronics has major wow factor! The only thing I would change about this truck is nothing!

lauren c on March 16, 2021

Great truck! Minor issues.

The truck runs great considering it has 220k miles. Transmission shifts a little rough sometimes. It used to only be from 1 to 2 but now all gears can bang the truck around a little. My fuel inlet sensor keeps going off too which I haven't quite figured out why yet. Outside of that it is a great truck.

Great cost benefit, cheap and affordable maintenance. I am very satisfied.

No problem, everything works good, everything durable and cheaper to replaced, this is the reason that I like this car, I had other cars but I liked it a lot, this car is also economic compared to other cars I had, maintenance is cheap and it makes easy parts for maintenance.

Ford f-150 is a great ride and buy.

I really enjoy my ford f-150 it drives smooth and handles really nice. I bought it used with 100,000 miles and it's still a great car the gas mileage is 17 mpg so I think it's pretty good for a older truck. Its interior is very comfy and has USB and Bluetooth compatibility overall a great buy and comfy ride.

It is trouble-free at 39,000 miles.

No complaints; my truck has a v8 engine with plenty of torque and is very comfortable. It also has plenty of room inside.

My thoughts of the ford raptor pros and cons...

Love my truck! I never worry about performance. Truck bed has room for any project. Everything works great in it. Has room for 5 people with legs space. Also great for camping and off roading. Never had any problems with anything. This truck takes up a lot of space and can barely fit in most drive thru. So you just need to be mindful about how wide it is.

Ford tough. Dependability, reliability and endurance.

I have not encounter problem so far with my vehicle, it's super reliable and very comfortable, been driving it for quite a while already and it's always been great. From moving heavy stuff travelling long distance for a vacation and even pulling heavy boat and other construction stuff, this is the vehicle that I can always count on.

2011 ford f-150 raptor SVT.

I purchased the raptor when it was five years old. I have owned and driven it for four years now. Power is great, pulls my 23 foot boat like a dream. Boat and trailer weigh roughly 5,000 lbs fully loaded. The off-road capabilities of this vehicle are great. Only problems over the last four years, needed to fix electric sunroof and replace/rebuild front shocks.

The perks of owning a 2011 ford f-150 fx4.

Its really great on gas and holds up its own. It can tow basically anything a homeowner can think of. And it's great for camping as well as going off roads. My only problem with the truck is that it lacks power sometimes. But I took it back to the ford dealership and they fixed the problem right away. It wasn't hard to fix and didn't cost an arm and a leg it fix in the first place.

F150 is a manly man's truck

I like big trucks. I like the keypad on the side of the door that lets me get in without the keys. I do not have any complaints. It does not have great gas mileage but most trucks don't.

Plenty of room with even some to spare for passengers.

We absolutely love the space inside for passengers. It can comfortably sit five people and six if we need to. I know this is most cars but this truck has room to spare with that many people. You do not feel crowded with plenty of legroom. The air conditioning did go out and we had to drop $700 to fix that. It is a good reliable truck.

It's a 4x4 and I have been fortunate that it hasn't given me problems

I love my f150 it is a very dependable truck it has 4x4 and I feel it gets great gas mileage. I wish I would of got it in a different color though

Not worth buying for the money they charge you.

Great family/towing vehicle.

Overall it is a good quality pick up. In my family it is mostly used to haul our travel trailer for during camping season. As a family of 5 with a dog it is spacious and comfortable. Other than minor repairs, the tuck has been a great reliable vehicle for our family.

Can hold up to moderate abuse, relatively reliable.

Had some issues with the driver's seat failing (lumbar failed, left side motor track failed, side panel broke), had issues with both fuel filter sensors and now oil sensor, currently fighting with my fan controller, other than that it is relatively reliable and has served well.
