@@Cloud30000 According to anecdotal evidence on the forums over the past 10 years, the 2.7 appears to be Ford's most reliable F-150 engine. I love mine. If your towing needs are modest I highly recommend it. And to be clear, it tows up to its rated limit better than the 5.0 and nearly as well as the 3.5. It just maxes out sooner than they do. The 5.0 has had some pretty serious issues. Not sure if they worked those out yet, but now they added cylinder deactivation, which is probably going to offset any improvements. But as Toyota has shown us, no modern truck is a sure thing when it comes to reliability. May as well just buy why you like and not worry about what you can't control.

[@k.walters6268]

I purchased a new 1980 F150 Lariat for a little over $8K, a significant price jump from the '75 model I bought new for $4K. The '75 was a base model with a V8, standard transmission, and no AC, while the '80 had a V8, automatic transmission, and AC; both had power steering, power brakes, but lacked power windows or locks, and were 2WD, long bed. In snow country, Fords suffered from rust issues, with salt on the roads corroding the body, chassis, and underparts. The '80 had better quality than the '75, but Ford's overall quality wasn't the best. Now, I own a 1971 F100, which was well-made for its time and remains clean and rust-free, having spent its life in the south. Ford's rust problems were notorious in the late '80s and '90s. Perhaps this was a source of dissatisfaction for your father, along with the introduction of more plastic components, problematic engines like the 5.4 3V in my 2005 model, and uncomfortable seats. However, the newer models seem to be improving in quality. Given their cost, one would hope for continued enhancements in Ford's quality. It's curious whether the trucks they manufacture today will last 50 years like their predecessors.

I have always driven Fords and love the American story of the company. For the first time in my life I own a vehicle that isn't a Ford. I was tired of the vehicle recalls, the wait for parts to repair the recall, and the recalls to fix the previously fixed recall. I also didn't care for Ford going woke and promoting lifestyles that are not natural.

They have long had terrible payloads. Coil springs typically can't support as much weight because they connect to a single point on the frame, while leaf springs spread out that weight over a few feet. This is also why air springs are a bad idea on a leaf sprung vehicle. You are focusing a high load on a part of the frame that wasn't designed for it.

[@YerBoyTroy]

@@plmn93 Doesnt the raptor use coils and has more payload than the ram? I think there is more that factors into than just the coils. New tundra went from leafs to coils and saw an increase in payload. So there are definitely other factors

[@plmn93]

@@YerBoyTroy Yes there are other factors, but with all else being equal, leaf springs are going to be able to handle more weight which is why they have been used in trucks for so long.

Ford messed up by not putting the 7.2kw as standard. It’s small at a $400 option, but so many dealers skip it🙄

[@Cloud30000]

I always custom order my trucks; the dealers always add BS to the lot trucks to increase the profit\asking price and I end up paying less by ordering exactly what I want, even if they are offering a slightly bigger discount on a lot vehicle. In this case, having the 7.2kw as an option makes more sense then increasing the whole line by $400 and making it standard.

Great review! I’ve got a 2017 F150 Lariat. Started looking for my next truck. I’m not happy with what I’m seeing. Great styling, features, but truck capacity keeps going down. Mine as 1863 lbs capacity. I’m seeing trucks with 300+ lbs LESS capacity. I really don’t want to move up to 3/4 ton HD truck. BUT, take a truck for towing a 26-30’ camper, 2 adults, 2 kids, really NOTHING in the bed and you can be at or over the GVWR of the truck, quickly. I’m running consistently 400-500lbs over GVWR because of the heavy tongue weight of my camper. (Another industry issue for another day) I’ve upgraded my suspension, added a class V hitch. I went from a 2013 to a 2017 because capacity was going up. All these features are driving the capacity down.
