Advice...Ford F150 guys

Wow...didnt expect so
many responses so quick. Looks like there is a large group that love their trucks! Guess I should check these out first hand and do some more research. Thanks for the heads up about the 5.4 vs 5.0 vs Eco changes.

Ive always been a GM guy (whole family retired GM) until my recent 2 vehicles (Audi & Rover) but kinda getting tired of having to use the dealer for parts or ordering online for my services other than oil changes.

I was going to say the only issue with the 5.4 is the power. It's okay, but nothing to rave about compared to the new powerplants. Check out the threads on the RV sites. You'll find the same info there (low in power, low in mpgs but high in bulletproofness), but in their minds it is diesel or nothing; for the most part.

I too was GM all the way until my last three purchases. 04 Honda (bought used in 09), 09 Honda (bought used in 11) and 12 Toyota (bought new). Ford was on my short list, but finding the heavy towing package I wanted was difficult, which ran up the value of the truck to the dealer. The same was true with the GMs. As for Ford, they have truly refined their fit, feel and ergos of the interior. Even yesterday, when I parked my new Toyota next to a new Ford at work, I was eyeballing the great interior in the Ford.
