The lease on my 2014 XLT 3.5EB Screw 4x4 will be ending in a few weeks and I'll be picking up a 2016. The truck is in great condition. Everything is in check on the wear and tear template. I'm hoping the transfer will be nice and easy, but I've heard they will try to charge for anything they can (brake services, tire rotation, alignment, etc).


What are your end-of-lease experiences like?

 

I've turned in 4 Ford leased vehicles (3 F150's and 1 Explorer) I had no issues.

I just returned my 2013 F150 and bought a 2016 XLT instead of leasing again because in all but the Explorer I was over mileage.

My dealer uses a third party inspection service and there have been no issues. In all cases my dealer even ate the over mileage fees to keep me in a new lease.

 

I leased a new Ranger in 2005. Was on par with the mileage and had no dents or scratches. Origional tires, brakes etc.... No issues at all. 3rd party came to my house to inspect the truck , and I dropped it off at the dealer a couple days later.

 

No issues with mine, other than I thought it was 20 cents per mile...when, in fact, it was 25 cents per mile over.

 

I returned my 2013 for a 2015 last year. I returned it a year early as well because after 2 years I already had 32000 miles on it. The dealership inspected it, and gave me a great deal on the 2015 lease. I didn't have a box liner so I had a few dents and scratches which they never mentioned.
