Always liked those oxford white trucks!

Starting year 3 (lease), 32K miles, still look for excuses to drive it. Been flawless, no issues what-so-ever (knocking on wood...) Best overall vehicle I've ever owned. Can't wait to lease an '18 when this one is up. Thinking that 2.7/10 speed combo should totally rock.

Same here. Truck has been bullet proof. 25 months coming up on 19K miles.

I love jumping in on these threads as they are few and far between. For awhile I thought you weren't allowed to post unless you were complaining.

I also think there are more of us than people think.

17,500 miles on my 2016 and have not had any issues so far worth a dealer visit. My biggest complaint on this whole truck, which is minor, is the random creaks, rattles and noises that I can never seem to find. I did have the creaking/popping noise from the moonroof, but I used that slick tape and I make sure to clean the seals every so often with alcohol. No issues anymore with that. Other than that, been a damn good truck and is about to get yet another work out this weekend towing!

Purchased my truck 7 weeks ago through Ford's Certified Pre Owned program. I had to look through 110 trucks online to find a DOHC four-valve 5.0 Coyote V8 Super Crew that met the c.p.o. criteria.

Mine is a former Enterprise rental, but whoever drove it must not have abused it. The original wheels had no curb rash, the steering is the most square and nearly-perfect as any sporting motor vehicle I've owned in the past (but the electric power assist on the otherwise-fantastic rack and pinion took some getting used to)... the exhaust system has zero soot in it...

I brought it home with 16,500 miles on the clock. While waiting for my brand-new set of four Bilstein 5100 "dampers", I drove it for first week with the original factory shock absorbers... which gave a truly-vintage Cadillac ride, with all the nose-dive and rear axle hop and body roll that goes along with it. This was the only real annoyance, but that was offset by the luxury feel. lulz.

The truck is vibration-free, at part-throttle is very quiet, yet when the loud pedal is squeezed all kinds of glorious music flows into my ears... and all systems up to this point have been reliable. This is a fantastic truck. Additional modifications I've made are listed in my post signature.

Nice to finally read a post about something positive! Tough to continuously read negative posts!

Hit 35,000 on mine today and besides having to add the slick tape to the moon roof panel edge all is good!

I got my truck in March, also a former Enterprise rental. I wasn't planning to buy a truck until next spring, but circumstances beyond my control dictated otherwise. Mine had 16k miles on it as well (must be their target point for taking them out of service), and I second everything you said about your truck regarding condition. In fact, mine still smells new inside. And, I got a great deal buying it directly from Enterprise. Now, I know it is only a lowly 3.5 na, but it has done everything I have asked it to do (towing, hauling, and in 4wd) without a hitch (pardon the pun). In fact, I can't think of any real problems I have had with it. I found the rear springs to be a little soft for towing, but I installed a set of Hellwig helper springs, and that did the trick. All in all, its a great truck!

14 months, 18k miles here. Love it!

My only "annoyance" was the transmission shifted a bit hard from drive to reverse when I backed in (which I do everywhere). But after 7-8k miles, it smoothed out. Zero rattles, a good ride, can't ask for much more.

Almost eerie that yours were the same circumstances that surrounded the purchase of my truck... my daily driver was parked out front of the house on the street here in suburbia and was creamed while sitting there.

I had *planned* on purchasing an aluminum-bodied F150 next spring! but with a bigger cash down. I had to pass on the additional 10,000 dollars' worth of sticker price goodies like an e-diff, a shorter ring and pinion, back up camera, tow package, etc... because at the time I thought the price was too high for my monthly payment budget but I can add those things as I go along. My sole criteria were the crew cab and the 5.0.


It may be the base engine, but as you can attest to it is not a weak motor with almost 300 HP and over 250 lb/ft. I drive this same engine in some work vehicles, and with the Tow/Haul mode engaged it's more than capable in a 1/2 ton. With the 3.73 axle it's even better.

I suppose I didn't feel like I needed additional rear spring because this 5.0-engined truck also had a 6800# payload package. Sure had an ***-high stance! So I dropped it one inch... blah blah blah...

Thanks for your post! and again it's strange in a good way how similar was our purchase impetus (if that's the right way of saying it).
