Excellent towing and value.
Had to replace engine at 15000k miles, was under warranty, tow capacity is very good. Style is nice, quite drive, very comfortable seats. Easy access and egress, sound system and navigation capability is awesome and outstanding, none better best truck ever, will not be my last Ford.

I love the cruise control.
Everything works really well. It handles very well on the road. However, the Bluetooth will no longer allow me to connect my phone to it. The bed cover that came with the truck seems cheaply made and is not water tight. I had to replace the steering wheel during the first week of getting the vehicle. Due to the steering wheel controls not working on the right side of the steering wheel.

The 4 wheel drive package is a great option.
I love the space in the cab, engine does not burn gas up, I love the 4 wheel drive, heated seats, electric mirrors, audio system, and tow system. If you are looking for a fun family vehicle, the ford f150 is a great truck. It rides like a car. I use to be a Chevy driver, but when I drove this truck, I fell in love with everything about it. If you are looking for something that really is good in the snow, this is your truck.

Ford built tough to last forever.
The best vehicle I have ever owned. It is roomy and has a lot of power. It is fast and has all the bells and whistles anyone would ever want in an car or an truck. I would put this truck up against any vehicle on the road. It is so powerful it can tow heavy loads and do not miss a beat with speed. I love this truck so much that I do not think I will ever buy a different type of vehicle.

It drives very smooth for a work type of a truck.
I like the style of the new trucks especially the headlights and taillights. I do wish I had a center counsel rather than the flip down seat. I like the rugged look of the inside as well.

It's a lemon. Don't buy it. I feel bad because I will be trading it in and it will be another person's problem.
It needed a new engine at 34,000 Miles. And hasn't been right since.

That is is cheap and bad and to spend the extra money to get power everything
It is a basic vehicle, does not even have power locks or windows

It sucks worse than stepping on Legos.
It is a gas guzzler and it feels like the suspension is broken. It looks like a box on wheels and the air conditioning sucks.

Ford makes a awesome product, it is more for luxury than usability through,
It's a very nice truck, I am just more of a plain person and having all the electronics is to much for me. I do like the hands free phone through. I would prefer that a truck is a more of a truck and not a car. I do not care for the touch screen radio, or the power back window, or the back up camera.

My vehicle is nice to look at and is viewed as a nice pickup.
My check engine light continues to come on and even after taking it to the shop numerous times, the problem has yet to be figured out or fixed. This causes the remote start to not work correctly as well. I have owned the vehicle for 2 years and the problem goes unanswered.

Ford f150: finicky ford issues.
It is a bit finicky in that it really does not behave well after the battery drains. It is pretty comfortable though it does not drive too smoothly. It is reliable except when you take it over some potholes and then the engine stalls. I would recommend that you get a higher performance version of this.

It has many seats for a family of 4 or 5 and it is a pickup truck.
It handles well even though it is 3 years old and I am thinking of buying the next one. Ford has just been a really great company.

The ford f150 is for everyone, and the truck is useful in a variety of ways.
My f150 seats 5 people comfortably, 6 if u lift the middle console. The interior is cloth and has begun to rip only after 4yrs. (I am sure me, with kids caused a lot of unnecessary wear n tear) I love the ability to fit all my kids and use the tail bed to carry a large amount of items, but the gas mileage is a bit higher than ove seen compared to other trucks. One huge problem is that ford made it impossible for consumers to change spark plugs themselves. A special tool is required. 3xs i've spent $700+ to service the truck for the same exact issue, (spark plugs and something causing misfiring). Other than that I haven't had any complaints, and many cosmetic defects ive been able to fix or replace myself. I have put a great amount of miles, hauled a lot of items (moving, purchases, tools, etc) and it is still going. It's also been great during floods, and bad weather. While some wouldn't be able to drive through the flooded areas, the height of the truck made it possible for me. And if I didn't mention it, I added a tow hitch and although the xtra weight consumed more gas, I was able to tow a friends car. Over all id recommended this truck to anyone. It's the perfect size for anyone (teens to elder adults) with an easier ability to maneuver the large truck, compared to others.

The 2015 Ford f150 pickup. Ride in comfort. Save fuel. Great for work or family.
The performance of the 2015 Ford crew pickup is excellent, no problems noticed. It is very reliable, easy start up. It rides smooth, quiet and has a lot of power. All the controls are within easy reach. The pedals can be power adjusted. There is also an outlet on the front panel. The cab and body is made almost entirely of aluminum giving it a reduced weight from 500 to 700 which is great for fuel economy. The seats are very comfortable and adjust perfectly to your body and back. The seats are also heated which is an added plus in the cold weather. Five adults can fit easily in this vehicle with plenty of legroom the sound system is great and it can also be adjusted by using the steering wheel. Your cell phone can be paired up which makes it so easy to talk hands free with voice recognition. The headlights come on and go off automatically. Backing up is made so easy with the backup camera. If anything is in back of the truck the sensors will start beeping. Three adults can easily fit in the back seats which are very spacious and fold up when needed to make room for tools or pets. The cab is also spacious enough to carry larger tools and cargo. When the back seat is folded up the floor is completely flat. The console in the front is also very large and has a lot of storage room. Great for towing, it has 8400 pound towing capacity. Tow you camper, trailer or boat with ease.

The resale value is much better than used cars. Trucks are more in demand.
Our 2015 Ford f-150 is not the top of the line model and yet it was very expensive. We use it to tow or 30 ft travel trailer. I would have preferred to have more bells and whistles. It does not have GPS in the system. The seating in the back is ok but not a lot of extra legroom. The console in the front is cumbersome and we rarely are able to have another person sit there when we have many passengers. The gas mileage is not the best especially when we pull the travel trailer. The body of the truck is still in excellent condition since we had a protective coating and undercoating applied upon purchase. I feel they are quality trucks and the resale value is there but trucks are getting way too high in new car purchases.

2015 metallic blue ford f150 XLT.
I have owned this vehicle for 3 years now and it is been great. I have had no issues so far and it is a nice and smooth ride. My package has the 2.7 l v6 twin turbo motor and has great acceleration. I also get rather decent gas mileage, averaging 18 mpg in town. The space inside the cab is amazing, with plenty of legroom for even taller individuals. I do recommend adding a gas shock to the tailgate to make opening it, especially on hills, much easier. One other option that mine came with is the dual steps on either side of the truck bed (retractable). These are a big help with grabbing things out of the truck bed that are sitting up against the cab.

All around great, dependable vehicle to drive for everyday.
We bout the 2015 f-150 solely on the amount of space in the back seat. It is incredible. Perfect vehicle for long trips. No real issues engine wise so far with the vehicle. It has electric glitches every now and again. A door sticking and setting the “door open” sensor. The tire sensor has been on since we bought the truck two years ago, we have tried to reset and it does not go anywhere. The truck has extremely heavy doors as well, which can be good or bad. You definitely have to slam the doors for them to shut, but the truck is heavy and makes it seem safer on the road.

Bluetooth, Sirius radio ( as most do ). A full bench in back. Also has the third seat up from that folds and transforms into your center console. It is a short bed, which I do not mind.

My vehicle has a ton of options. Lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control are by far some of my favorite options. I love the large screen display for my entertainment and navigation needs. I have heated and cooled seats and they work wonders. Especially the cooled seats on my long drives so my back is not sweating the whole trip. I have a 360° birds eye view of my surroundings and it helps so much with parking and staying in the lines.

A utilitarian work horse.
The backup camera and sensors kick in 5-10 seconds delayed. Not super helpful if there’s something directly behind you. The sync system is horrible and often does not work in sync with our phones. They shaved off precious back seat legroom in 2015 with the new body style. The aluminum body crumples like a soda can. But she’s reliable so far and adequately comfortable. She does need to go in for a recall due to seat belts causing fires.

Has all the options. Rides smooth. Leather is real leather. Low maintenance. Color is black and looks great. Cost of repairs is minimal. Looks great. Rides high. Rides smooth. Turns sharp. Has 4 wheel drive. Does not cost much for gas. Larger tank. Guess a long ways.

Ford f-150 she is my old reliable.
Aluminum body dents easily. Sync system is sometimes hard to manage. The console fold down is a nice feature and there is plenty of cargo space and little cubby holes to place items. Had an air conditioning issue had to pay it was out of warranty. Otherwise it is been a good truck.

2015 ford f -150 with touch screen capability.
I have had my truck for 3 years now. And I couldn’t be happier. I have never had one issue under the hood or otherwise. The 2015 version comes with a touch screen amenities on your dash that I love. Bluetooth, Sirius radio ( as most do ). A full bench in back. Also has the third seat up from that folds and transforms into your center console. It is a short bed, which I do not mind. And the tailgate has a step that pops out to climb up into the back along with a window attached on the back window that slides open. So much about this truck that I love so much.

Love my f-150. I highly recommend you purchase one.
I have had no problems with my truck. I service it every 3k miles. The only thing I have had to replace is the tires and windshield. I highly recommend purchasing this truck. It is good on gas and it has lots of power. Let's not forget that it is very stylish.

The 4 wheel drive package is a great option.
I love the space in the cab, engine does not burn gas up, I love the 4 wheel drive, heated seats, electric mirrors, audio system, and tow system. If you are looking for a fun family vehicle, the ford f150 is a great truck. It rides like a car. I use to be a Chevy driver, but when I drove this truck, I fell in love with everything about it. If you are looking for something that really is good in the snow, this is your truck.

Ford truck with lots of leg space.
The ford 150 truck is a very good truck to have and I like the heated seats and large capacity, so that 5 - 6 people can sit in it. Great for trips and everyday use. We have the crew cab so it extends the large space in the back seat. The bed is 6 and one half feet, so can fit a lot of items.
accountCircle Kaitlyn H on May 24, 2021
The detail is nice we have all leather easy to keep clean with the little ones.
I really haven't found anything wrong with the f150. I personally love these vehicles. Seats are comfortable for long trips and the back seat has lots of room to move. They are very easy to clean up after toddlers. The only problem I have noticed is the back cab light in the outside heats water in them from the ran then runs down the side now I have some rust there. Other than that I love the truck. This is my 3rd one. We just keep trading up.

We love our boat and toy hauler!
I love the roominess of the cab! Bed is large enough to carry most anything. I have only had issues with the front window leaking and causing a fuse box short but it was an after market window. No other issues with the truck. I drive 100 miles per day back and forth to work. We haul our 19 ft boat with no issues.

Ford 150 great work truck.
I have a ford 150 sport. I bought it 6 years ago new. I have had no problems with the truck at all. I use it for work and also plow with it. The in cab 4 wheel drive switch over is great for towing and plowing. I have had up to 1500 pounds in the bed with no problem. The inside has a lot of space and seats 6. HVAC and sound system are great. It also has 4 different power ports to make hooking up trailers and accessories easy.

My vehicle is nice to look at and is viewed as a nice pickup.
My check engine light continues to come on and even after taking it to the shop numerous times, the problem has yet to be figured out or fixed. This causes the remote start to not work correctly as well. I have owned the vehicle for 2 years and the problem goes unanswered.

All around great, dependable vehicle to drive for everyday.
We bout the 2015 f-150 solely on the amount of space in the back seat. It is incredible. Perfect vehicle for long trips. No real issues engine wise so far with the vehicle. It has electric glitches every now and again. A door sticking and setting the “door open” sensor. The tire sensor has been on since we bought the truck two years ago, we have tried to reset and it does not go anywhere. The truck has extremely heavy doors as well, which can be good or bad. You definitely have to slam the doors for them to shut, but the truck is heavy and makes it seem safer on the road. Hope this helps:).

Awesome ford f150 very reliable.
It runs and drives very smooth. It has a leveling kit with upgraded tires. Tinted windows. Leather interior with heated and cooled seats. I am very happy with the service ford offers when I need it, which is not very often only when there were recalls.

My favorite big red truck!
I love my truck! It has a 7 inch lift on it so it is very tall. I have had it for 3 years and I have not had any major problems. Because of the lift I have large mud tires and have to get them rotated and balanced very often. Sometimes going down the highway is extremely rough. I also had some bad tires and had to get new ones but this did not really have anything to do with the quality of the truck. Although, sometimes the Bluetooth would freeze up and it would cause the entire radio system to have to reset. Sometimes it would do this at bad times like when I was using it for navigation. I am not really sure why it did this because it never did it enough for me to take it in to get fixed. Overall, I have loved my truck and am completely happy with my experience!

Phenomenal for a family - every day and for travel!
Our crew cab lariat ford f-150 rides like a dream. It is spacious inside and out (in the bed). We’ve been able to fit three car seats in the back and still have room on the floor for hauling anything that needs to be in the cab plus plenty of room up front for the driver and passenger. We opted for the heated steering wheel and all seats (plus cooling on the front seats). You'll never want to go back. Remote start was incredible in Minnesota winter. The tailgate can be automatically opened and has the step hidden in it. We haven't had any actual problems with it - only regular maintenance.

Awesome truck that is a very smooth ride. Enjoy your f150.
The ford f-150 XLT is a great truck. It has plenty of leg room and is a very good family vehicle. The truck is able to seat 6 people with ease and has enough room for the kids so everyone is comfortable during the ride. The backseat is large enough to where a small child can stand up in the back without hitting their head on the roof. Again great engine I love the v-8 engine and the boost I get on the highway. It also comes with e85 fuel so you can use regular gas or e85.

Spacious and comfortable seating.
It is a great vehicle that I can always rely on. Back up camera is helpful yet not always needed as visibility is quite good on this vehicle. The rear seats are very spacious and can fold up to make more room if needed. Just do regular maintenance and this vehicle will last a very long time.

Able to carry a lot (capacity) and haul a lot of weight. I have had no issues with maintenance other than oil changes. Tires are still great! Looks great after a car wash. I feel safe when traveling on the road or highway. It has decent gas mileage. I am a feminine girl who loves her truck!

Transmission issues in the mountains.
The only issue I have noticed is some shifting problems. We first noticed it in the mountains on our trip the past summer 2020. When going downhill, the downshift from 5th to 4th was very hard and abrupt. Then later in the trip, there was some slippage during upshift around 4th gear. This happened several times in and around the mountains. We had a pretty big load in the bed since we were camping in some of the national forests around the Smoky Mountains. We noticed when I put the truck in tow mode, it seemed to help. I have not had the issue any since we returned to the flat land of Florida. I have not had the opportunity to take it in and have the transmission diagnosed yet. Other than that, there have been no other issues.

Thought we loved our ranger till we met our f150.
Got it to pull out camper, but ends up our “car”. So much quieter than our Ford ranger was. Love the sound system (we are weekend musicians too). No problems, but find that is true with all our fords the first 6 or 8 years. Grandkids love the roominess and we were sold at the feature of the back doors not openable till the front doors are opened. When we travel without the camper, he sleeps sitting up ( no electricity for apnea machine) and the back is big enough for me to sleep- I am 5’7. We only argue over when to wake up, haha.

2015 metallic blue ford f150 XLT.
I have owned this vehicle for 3 years now and it is been great. I have had no issues so far and it is a nice and smooth ride. My package has the 2.7 l v6 twin turbo motor and has great acceleration. I also get rather decent gas mileage, averaging 18 mpg in town. The space inside the cab is amazing, with plenty of legroom for even taller individuals. I do recommend adding a gas shock to the tailgate to make opening it, especially on hills, much easier. One other option that mine came with is the dual steps on either side of the truck bed (retractable). These are a big help with grabbing things out of the truck bed that are sitting up against the cab.

I added speakers and a new stereo to it no problem!

I really like the size since it makes me feel safer.
It is comfortable and has plenty of power. It has good visibility as it is higher than cars and suvs. Since it also bigger than cars and suvs it feels safer since you look down on other vehicles and are heavier than they are. It is a little harder to park since it is larger than most vehicles.

Love this truck. So many pros than cons. Sits up higher, feels safer and durable. I have the 5.0 v8 6 speed which has great hp and torque but gas mileage is not the greatest. 15 mpg in town and 18 on the highway. No problem major or minor. I only had one issue with the moonroof not wanting to close. I had it fixed under warranty and never happened again.

Decent work vehicle, lasted for years.
Drives smoothly, often has brake issues but other than that is a reliable vehicle with plenty of space for tools and other work-related items. Has a compact back seat, so transporting more than 2 passengers at a time can be a challenge. Also tends to drink up gasoline if you are traveling very long distances often.

Added cold air intake system therefore increasing my gas mileage
I absolutely enjoy my Ford f150.I've always wanted the new series ford f150 because of its performance and look. My f150 has the gear selector in the console which really feels great when driving in the performance mode. You actually get a chance to visually see the transmission shift all its gears, as the indicator identifies them. The room in its interior is very comfortable and spacious. The only thing that I dislike is that I didn't get the Fx4 model, but even so the gas mileage and overall performance is great.
