Newbie here, soon to buy new f150..
Hi fellow truckfolk...glad I found ya, hope to get new f150....Currently have 2012 MustangGT w/6 speed/3.73 gears/silver/no decals!/it's fast & loud(muffler delete)...
Bought GT new, had my fun, I mean FUN, & gonna trade her in for new f150 kingcab, maybe 4x4, & this time a v6 N/A...coming from 5.0 412 hp 'stang it seems like a let down but from what I hear if I get 3.73 gears it should be just fine, I'll have to test drive for sure...I want super dependable and not necessarily fast...gonna try RicartFord in Columbus, they have cheapest prices online, we'll see....Anyway, GLAD TO BE HERE!

I've been looking as well, coincidentally Ricart is the dealership I was looking at going to next summer when I buy an F150. They seem to have some of the lowest prices overall, I see a couple places that put up one for less at times, but not many. I'm about 50 miles away from there. I am choosing to go with the turbo though, likely the 2.7L. Haven't driven the 5.0 or 3.5L, don't really need that much power.
As far as any engine problems, I think for me warranty is part of it. I don't drive tons of miles a year, so it will be awhile before I should see any problems. Also planning for an RX catch can install, hoping to find out if they can do it and not void the warranty. If you purchase at Ricart you should inquire about the lifetime drivetrain warranty all their vehicles come with. You might be able to get a ecoboost and not worry about problems down the road.
