Paying $81,000 for a new F-150 is just absurd. Maybe that's why so many of them are just sitting on the lots. Now Ford is going with the cylinder deactivation on the V-8s so I think I'll pass on that. I think I'll just get one that's older and not run down or rusted out.

Its *NOT* the AutoManufacturers per se who are raising the prices ..... all you have to do is simply look at the price of precious (monetary) metals (esp. gold) at nearly 2X (DOUBLE) the price since 2014 in comparison to 'today'. ~$1170 / troy ounce compared with $2250 just two days ago. What this means in simple terms is that the purchasing power of every dollar you hold or spend has been value-DILUTED by FIFTY PERCENT. The REAL problem is the US currency/dollar is *rapidly FAILING*... all due to profligate (totally out of control) government spending !!!!!! The prediction by 'those in the know' ... "its going to get MUCH MUCH WORSE". Tighten up your seat belts and your wallets, folks.

@jeff-ds2pr 6 месяцев назад

Hate to break this to you but turbos (and your truck has two of them) will go out in your near future. Even the manufacturers will tell you they will need replacing within 150-200k miles. They last longer than they used to, esp. if you use full synthetic oil and change it regularly, but they do go out at some point. Not knocking the engine, I have a Taurus SHO with the 3.5 ecoboost, but I plan on selling it when it hits over 100k miles as I don't want to shell out thousands to replace the turbos in it.

@hestongraves3274 6 месяцев назад

@@jeff-ds2pr buying a different vehicle in order to avoid a future turbo failure in most cases will likely be more expensive than simply replacing the turbos on the vehicle you already own.

But I'm not a mechanic, so it would cost me thousands to repair them (and have it done right). you also face the possibility, if the turbo gets damaged having shrapnel from it get sucked into your engine, then you are really screwed. Turbos aren't as simple as replacing a starter on a car. My next car, I will stick with a simple V6 or pushrod V8. But to each their own.

Proper maintenance on any vehicle is the key to longevity. You in my opinion should never go over 5000 miles before you change your oil .

As an 18 year old basically raised by fords vehicles, I’m irritated with ford and the recent reliability issues. 2016 escape se it was a great car low miles traded it, 2017 escape se low miles kept it til 88k great car, kept maintenance an was totaled…2022 Ford Edge Sel (current) we keep it regularly maintained and took it from Michigan to Mississippi no mechanical issues but connectivity issues…when I was 16-17 I dogged that 2.0 4cyl turbocharger from 0miles to 34k and at 33k aka December 23 the screen went out, took to dealer they replaced screen and battery cause you guessed it the car fried it😁 we love the car it’s amazingly comfy and stylish and performs but today driving the screen and connectivity kept bugging out and what really hurts is that my mom just bought me my dream 2012 Lincoln MKS fully loaded base model at 121.5k miles and I love it everything works and dealer inspection last week said nothing’s wrong with it at 126.6k miles which other than the 3.7 water pump and transmission cause I like to drag occasionally I have no worries other than the sunroof. My brother dogs his 2010 mercury mariner and it keeps a ticking and I love that car, air blows decent, engine and transmission are just fine AT 200k MILES!!! Cd player doesn’t work what do you expect aux works great, everything mechanically and head/fog light display is just gorgeous for a 2010 base model 4cyl fwd I do love ford cars (while they work)

I agree Scotty. I own two 5.0L V8, non-turboed F150s 4X4S (a 2012 XLT & a 2014 Platinum), one for my wife and one for me. Both are extremely low mileage and absolutely no problems so far, and no payments. Over 20 mpg on both.

My third F-150 truck. the first 2 had V-8's with minimal issues. Currently my 2017 eco boost 3.5 with 60 ,000 miles on it. The starter died and left me stranded 80 miles from any town. Ford Road side assistance was a joke and never did send any help after 2 hours on the phone with them.This cost me a new starter and a tow for the sum of 700.00 . The huge double sun roof broke . This was another 1500.00. The 10 speed transmission skips gears especially slowing or stopping quickly it cannot figure what gear to be in. The doors locks freeze up in the winter. Numerous recalls on the vehicle. A fuel injector crapped out 1200.00. repair. The hot /cold actuator broke another 100.00. Good luck if you have one of these trucks . Currently having the brake pedal goes to the floor in cold weather intermittently. Truck is in the shop again. Funny thing is my Mechanic no affiliation to Ford says it;s the best truck you can buy ..Good luck

But I couldn't bring myself to pay $70k for the exact model and features I wanted. Also the the 4th gen 5.0 has cylinder deactivation (booo). So I'm waiting to see what they are like in about 5 more years. I imagine I'll get a used one. I still have yet to buy a vehicle that is over the price of my first home, which was $43k in 2004.

From the half dozen vehicles I have had with ECO mode, never, ever, ever turn it on. When your transmission shifts like crap, it's getting more wear. I never noticed ECO mode saving fuel, maybe on a fleet of thousands, it might save some fuel but it's beneath notice on a single vehicle.

Old trucks are well made. V8’s better than most I always wondered what a straight 6 turbo diesel powered ford truck would be like. I have a 7.3 1999 which is a nice truck. Tractor trailer semi trucks have a straight 6 of course it’s bigger than a little pickup truck engine. But I have to wonder why Ford didn’t pursue a straight 6 diesel rather than the V8. Now some Mazda cars are using a small straight 6. Might be interesting to setup an F150 with a transverse straight 6 diesel and front wheel drive transmission you could even tilt the engine like the old slant 6 that Chrysler had in the 60’s to lower the hood line. Might be interesting to see a torque monster 6 diesel with two turbochargers and front wheel drive.
