Default Hope Ford is listening!

Seems like on forums, you typically hear the negative and not to much on the positive side. Just thought I would make some comments about my new 2015 Ford F-150......


I installed a Ford factory trailer brake controller in my new F-150 Supercab the other day. When I pulled out the plastic pocket from the dash panel so I could insert the brake controller, I noticed it looked like someone inscribed their initials on the plastic pocket. The initials are "D. S.". If they indeed, are initials, Ford, please tell DS that he/she and the rest of the Ford team in Dearborn, did a great job building my 2015 F-150 XLT Supercab. I absolutely love it! Their work is fantastic! Please keep it up!


Been buying Fords for decades and will continue!

God Bless You Captain ,,,,,I read a lot of negative on this forum too. Today I pulled up the website of the dealership where I bought my truck. I was curious to see if my 2010 F150 with 68,000 miles was on the lot there...and if it was, what the asking price was. I clicked on the used truck tab...two pages of trucks. Scrolled through them looking for my truck. Any idea what I found ? Not my truck. It was not listed. But 3/4 of the trucks. Chevy. One ram. a few used Fords. This dealership is a Ford only dealer. SO I would assume...all the Chevy's... all trade in's.
And by the way..I love my 2015 F150

The reason you hear so much negative is because most people search on the internet when they have problems.

Be interesting to see who bought your truck or how much they sold it for.

Sort of crazy how my ford dealer works had a 2004 with roughly 160k miles on it not many for a 04' I didn't think especially for a truck. Said they couldn't do anything with it but whole sale it as it wouldn't sell. After the guy just told me they look all over the east coast for 4x4's because they sell so well.

That is a riot! I also traded in a 2010 F-150 for my 2015 F-150. The dealer made me an offer I absolutely could not refuse. Got top dollar on my trade as well. My 2010 had 65K miles on it. The day after I took delivery of the 2015 (and gave the dealer my 2010), I got a call from the sales person. They had a small question to ask about the truck. Seems they already had a buyer for my 2010. It never even got put on the lot!

I was able to find my last truck on CRAIGSLIST at my dealer, they had it marketed for 11,999 and gave me 8750 for it.

It was a 2wd regular cab, probably hard to sell.


It was there MONTHS later, they probably had to move it elsewhere.

Just bought my new F-150 one week ago, i only had 3 other fords before my F-150, (first car) 88 Escort GT 1 year and 15k, ford Ranger, 3 years and 40k miles and my ford explorer 13 years with 215k!...
All were amazing reliable cars. I'm 36 and i'm sure this F-150 is going to stay with me for at least 15 years, have always love fords and will pass this on to my kids like my dad did with me
