I have had my 2015 F-150 Lariat for 15 months. It has been on 1 road trip of 2500 miles, 2 road trips of 800 miles. It has 15500 miles on odometer.
I have NO mechanical problems. It has no squeaks or other issues.
I have the 5 liter V8. I am averaging 16 miles around time, and on the road
20-22 mpg. Interstate driving a 75 mpg on cruise control.
I am TOTALLY happy with this truck. I traded a Toyota Tundra on this truck that had 85000 miles and loads of problems. It was a 2008 model, transmission, suspension, body panels, averaging 8 mpg in town, and 12-13 mpg highway.

Lies, all lies. Read the forum. Every truck has major issues. The world is ending...

I've never exceeded 20mpg on the highway with my 5.0, don't know how you get 22 at 75mph.

That's awesome. More and more I'm considering trading in my 05, but that's a hard pill to swallow because of all the work I've put into it.

I'm assuming your '05 is paid for? If so, why trade?

I couldn't trade in my '03. Besides the fact that it's been wrecked a few times without seeing a shop or insurance adjuster. It also has a manual tranny. That's something that "manual mode" just can't compete with.

But I do love my '16 5.0L. Twice I've had the no-audio problem (both happened in May of 2016) and once I got a "service advancetrac" message. But they both went away and haven't returned. Not terribly bad for 8months and 16k miles.

I still owe $7,000 on it

Oooohhhh.....well then. If you kept all the stock pieces you could pull all your mods off and try selling them separately. Then trade it.

Martian

Eh... the mods I have would be a pain in the *** to take off. Exhaust headers, suspension... I'd just sell them or trade it with them on and use them for bargaining pieces with the dealership. All things considered, they weren't THAT expensive. And the timing equipment has all been redone, so that issue is done. Actually you know... I could probably sell it on here since anyone here to buy it can actually see that the truck was owned by someone who knows about the truck and took great care of it.

Rather refreshing to have someone take a moment and let others know how their truck is treating them when they are happy with their truck. There are actually many more people like you and me that have had this experience with their truck.

Sadly it's the complainers that do most of the posting.

BS, where are the defects, issues, motor noises, squeaks and grinds...every new truck has those. Quit holding out on us.
Yes...this is a joke. Good to hear you're enjoying your purchase...not enough positivity on things any more

Had my 2016 for approximately 8 months now.
While its supposedly my personal pickup, my employees probably put on about 70% of the kms it has.
They work it very hard as do it.
Every day the past 6 days it has towed an 11, 700 pound trailer to a remote logging landing ao the helicopters can refuel there from the fuel trailer.
The last 83 kms is a very rough logging road.
I have 5 other company F150s as well....all are 2016.
Between these 6 trucks they have over 200,000 kms combined.
And hard kms.
Lots of heavy loads in the box, heavy towing, rough logging roads etc.
Other than replacement of the junk tires, wiper blades, oil changes, and additional driving lights and heavy duty bumpers....they have had zero issues except one truck needing a 15 minute passenger door adjustment that was done in the parking lot of the dealership....and one getting a grinding noise in the rear brakes that was caused by a rock caught in there somehow. We often get rocks caught, but simply backing up 30 feet ejects them....this time it did not work, so i told the employee to swing by the local tire shop and ask them to remove the rear tires and have a look.
She was gone 10 minutes later issue solved.
I really hated the stock wipers so put on good winter wiper blades.
The stock tires are more like skis than tires so are swapped over to either Toyo or Coopers depending on the truck.
Cheers.
