I am new to the group, looking to purchase a truck. F150 comes to mind but will like everyone’s thought on the best trim/year to target. Reliability is a big deal for me, I also love all the best and whistles available. I almost pulled a trigger on a Tundra but held back to see what the Ford world holds. Looking for suggestions. Thanks!

 

what are your needs
what is your budget
can't do better than an f150.

 

I have a 2019 F-150, Son has a 2020 Tundra. Both are nice trucks, you'll just need to figure out what you're looking for and what you can find/afford. Best of luck.

 

Thanks @bakdahelup ...commuting to work primarily...I have 2 kids, so supercrew a must...I hate sitting at car repair shops, hence my concern around reliability...what is your experience so far with Ford?

 

Thanks @B.Cooper...have you always driven Ford or you have driven them all? Thanks!

 

I have had 4 trucks over the last 20+ years, only breakdown was in a 9 yr old vehicle, 1k same day repair. otherwise all good.
But everyone has a different story. People with problems are 100x more vocal than those without. It is as reliable as any other vehicle.
I always figured, Ford lives and dies by this truck, so they have a real interest in making owners happy.
if you plan to drive the wheels off of it, get the ext coverage

 

Nice...appreciate your time taken to share this info with me. Really useful...

cheers!

 

so the question is, if you want a trim level recommendation from us or if you are ordering one, what is the budget? One issue I have seen around here is the moonroof.

 

The new XLT trim level has a lot of what it used to take a Lariat to get to. The link below shows you all the 'goodies' available on each trim level.

Nice guide. I always figured a properly optioned XLT (unless you need that luxury) is the best bang for the buck.
My SO likes the luxury, otherwise I'd get an XLT 302a, max tow/36ga tank, FX4, appearance pkg, tech goodies, skid plates, wheel liners, spray in bedliner, no moonroof
