What are your thoughts on the various F 150 trim levels; which one is the best value?
27 January 2025 07:53
That really depends on what you do with the truck. If it's your daily driver, and you're in it a lot, it's worth the extra money. A lower trim is fine if it’s just for occasional use or work. I personally feel the Lariat is the sweet spot of features vs. price.

Is F150 reliability blown out of proportion or are there real problems to worry about?
27 January 2025 07:53
It really depends on the engine and the year. Typically, the 5.0 V8 is the most reliable. There was some issues with the first few years of the 3.5 EcoBoost but most of that has been ironed out now. For now, avoid the PowerBoost hybrid until they work the kinks out. On average fullsize trucks are about average for reliability and I’d say F-150s are too.

What do you think of the F-150 Lightning? Revolutionary or overhyped?
27 January 2025 07:53
The Lightning is a huge step forward, but I’m even more excited for the inevitable second generation. By then, battery tech will have improved to the point that charging stations will be more common and prices will have come down. Preliminary users are blazing the trail, but it’s not ready for prime time yet.

What do you really think of the F-150 Raptor, is it worth the buzz or an overpriced mall crawler?
27 January 2025 07:53
I think people are missing the point of the Raptor. It’s not about being able to go off road, it’s about being able to do so in a daily drivable package. During the week, you can commute in comfort and on weekends, blast through the desert. You can’t try that with a heavily modded truck.

How do you feel about the F-150's infotainment system - love it or hate it?
27 January 2025 07:53
I have a 2022 with the 12 inch screen and I love it. It's very responsive, intuitive, and the graphics are really crisp. Apple CarPlay works flawlessly. The only thing annoying is using the touchscreen for climate controls, but you get used to it.
