Where to start, I'm one of those guys that if I don't like it I'll get the next best thing, but my 2015 KR FX4 is that one truck I'll hold on to for a very long time. I've had several Ford products and in my opion the 2015 KR FX4 is of high quality and very solid and we'll built truck. I have the 5.0 and in or not in sport mode it runs great with no issues, noises or leg in power or proformance.
I agree with most that state some will have issues or even the ghost of trucks where everything goes wrong with it. Even with those few with all the 2015 F150 trucks sold there will be thousands that have no issues or complaints and are very happy with thier purchase.
If you are a loyal brand kind of person stick with it, but will tell you if you buy a Ford and the local dealership has great service you will be happy F150 owner.

I had a 2011 Lariat Ecoboost, and now have a 2013 Lariat Ecoboost that I bought new. Have just over 32,000 miles on it in three years of ownership and the truck has been great. No issues.

Haven't had any issues with mine except the rattly sunroof. Great truck, lots of fun to drive.

Admittedly, I don't put on as many miles as a lot of you guys do, 42k on a 2010 Lariat purchased Sept. 2009.
Never had to go back to the dealer for a warranty issue, and I vaguely remember some kind of door latch spring recall that they did while I was in for an oil change. I never noticed any problem myself.
So I am busy now shopping a deal for a 2016 Platinum Screw, hope to order it in the next week.

I'm going to rain on this parade.
If you have the cooling seat option, your truck is not performing as designed or sold. While I get that many of the reported problems are minor, this one isn't. And, if you are one of the some that think your seats are working properly, you don't understand how they're suppose to function or just don't care.
I love my truck but I wouldn't buy it today knowing what I know now about the seat issue. It's not that cooling seats are the be all, end all option. Its the way Ford has handled the issue and that they continue to manufacturer thousands of trucks a month knowing there is an issue.

While I got the XL model so I do not have heated seats myself my dad got the Lariat with them and I drove his truck for about 2 months before I purchased mine and they worked... I mean as in it cooled the seat and me.
I guess I am one of those that simply do not understand how they are suppose to work.
