"Built Ford Tough" isn't just an advertising slogan, it's the reason the Ford F-150 is the best-selling truck in the country. An impressive range of models and options permits the F-150 to b
With its strong resale and reliability ratings, about the only reason not to like the 2012 F-150 comes down to whether you like its bold and boxy styling.
Despite its impressive payload and towing ability, the 2012 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 electric po

"My new 2013 F-150 SCab w/all XLT packages, rearview camera, bucket seats, 4 X 4 w/ Offroad PKG, 2 tone paint, 3.5L V-6 Ecoboost twin turbos is awesome. Comfortable seats, nice interior, Chrome Rims/Wrangler tires. Nice ride, great milage for a 4 X 4, only wish it had the upgraded Sony stereo and power folding mirrors. I have about 1400 miles on it now. I traded my 2011 F-150 crewcab 2 wheel drive also with the ecoboost motor at 19,000 miles. Absolutely no problems whatsoever, nothing. Well built, tight, no rattles. I originally wanted a 4 X 4 in 2011, but could not find one with the equipment I wanted, is the only reason why I traded. I consistently got 23-24 mpg hwy with 2 wheel drive. I now with the 2013 4 X 4 get around 20-20.5 hwy. I love this truck. Chevy's V-8 and even Ram's 5.7L V-8 can't touch it in torgue and excelleration, even tho the Ram has 390 HP and 405 FT LB torque. The Ford Ecoboost 3.5L V-6 twin turbos has 365 HP and 420 FT LB torque. It has been said over the years that turbos don't like heat and humidity. Living in Southeast Alabama is just that, but no problems with turbo lag or power and torque. Ford got this Engine right. A Man and his truck (FORD) it's a beautiful thing!"
