If you like variety and choice, the 2013 Ford F-150 offers the most comprehensive lineup in the industry. High-end interiors and cutting-edge infotainment and audio options further distance the F-150
The F-150 is a big truck. If you just need a truck for light-duty jobs, a smaller mid-size will probably be less expensive and easier to maneuver and park.
Despite its impressive payload and towing ability, the 2013 Ford F-150 doesn't ride like a stiffly-sprung work truck. In fact, it rides more like a plush Lincoln SUV. Every version of the F-150 we tested was devoid of a rough ride, with no shudder or hopping over rough or unpaved roads and a level of quiet unheard of (no pun intended) in a full-size pickup. Each version also provided ample power, with the least-liked engine being the base V6 and the most appreciated being the new twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6. Thanks to the F-150's elec

"After my 2005 ford ranger 4x4 moved on to truck heaven with over 220,000 miles on it. I decided to upgrade to a loaded 2013 F150 XLT reg cab 4x2 . This truck is getting almost all tens for my review however, I know it's a bit early to be judging its reliability. So far I've been averaging 18.9 mpg with combined freeway and city driving ( 3.7 v6 302hp). I'm sure I could get slightly better with less of a lead foot. The ford Synch and Bluetooth works great along with the voice activated USB and self check vehicle reports. Sticker price on this thing was 32k and some change but if you stick to your guns you can get a really live able price (22495) was my price before tax, title, license, and the BS doc fee. I did utilize every incentive I could find though and three hours of negotiating. Over all thus far I love this truck and am incredibly happy I chose it over a Jeep...... I'll live without the four wheel drive :)"

"I mistakenly liquidated my 2003 F-150 Lariat a few years ago. I missed it greatly. Last year I needed another truck to haul my motorcycles, but a bare-bones vehicle with a livable sticker price. Picked up the silver STX SuperCrew 4X4. Good choice! This truck is so basic it doesn't even have carpet. Makes keeping it clean a breeze. No navigation, no backup camera, no driving lights, no automatic headlights, no leather anywhere, no heated seats. The new 5.0L powerplant would eat my Lariat's 5.4 for breakfast. And the 6-speed automatic with overdrive is smooth as 12-year-old Scotch. Ford provided EXACTLY the product I needed when I needed it. Haul/tow mode in the tranny pulls two big V-twins and the trailer without even breathing hard in the mountains. 11MPG with bikes, two XXL riders and all associated gear while doing 70-75 on I95. Looking at slide-in campers now and sadly the STX has insufficient payload for anything comfortable. Moving up to F350 with 6.7 turbo diesel. I'll miss the silver STX. A great, great pickup!"
