I should add that I've been looking and seeing them with end of season rebates that make a stickered $53k truck running about $44k. Sound good?

What do you use your truck(s) for besides work driving?

I live in the country. Cut firewood and haul, I hunt, and pull a trailer up to the farm with a compact tractor quite often. I also go camping a few times a year. The Tacoma has a shell on it for that but I probably won't put one on this truck. I figure we can use the Tacoma for that if need be.

Hoping to hear from CPers that have late model F150s. Issues? Looking at the twin turbo 3.5 L v6. Test drove it and it gets up and goes. Tows well too. Hoping for real life review

Purely anecdotal, but the only guy I know with that motor has had trouble.
I'm a Chevy guy, but I'm asking it to do different things than you are. |

I'm always wary of anecdotal evidence. Toyotas are supposed to be bullet proof. My tranny shot craps at 68k miles, 8k miles after the warranty ran out. Go figure. Otherwise been a great truck. Had an 04 F150 and it was great., but who knows bout the new ones.

One thing to consider is that turbos usually require/suggest premium fuel. Mileage is pretty good on those eco boost turbos, but it changes the economics a little. I have a Ram 2500 Cummins so can’t offer any experience with an F-150 ownership-wise. I have driven them for work and find the seats to be uncomfortable, steering too twitchy, and visibility poor for a truck.

Ford sucks. He can't stay healthy and rely on.

I have a '14 f150 with 60k, have the 3.5 turbo. Bought the extended warranty for 1200 bucks after I bought the truck for peace of mind. No major issues at all

if the Tacoma is a nice truck by the kid and Crown Vic to drive for a while...Yes in the country they need a car but why a $20k truck?
Get him some solid transportation and drive your truck for a few more years.. You are paying for college right?
