Well done with the 6.5 bed. I'll never buy a truck without one!

Ditto

Funny story about the 6.5ft bed. I looked at several trucks online, and had a few "prospects" picked out that had the options I wanted, but I know 98% of f150s have the 5.5ft bed so it wasn't on my list must haves. Well looking at the pics of this one online I didn't even notice that it was the 6.5ft bed. As soon as I got to the dealer and saw it in person I immediately noticed the 6.5ft bed and it was a very pleasant surprise. I pretty much decided at that point I was going home with that truck. Didn't even bother to look at the other prospects.

Care to mention how much it set you back? Or how much off MSRP you got? Nice truck.

i don't see any stealership badges. good work.

I absolutely despise dealership badges. I'm probably going to pull the ecoboost badges off the sides, and considering pulling the f150 badge off the tailgate also.

That's the prettiest truck color on the road.
Congratulations very nice.

$51k? Holy smokes. I'm lightheaded...

Yeah like I said, trucks are stupid expensive.

And that's just an f150. You should look at the prices of f250s. You'll go from light headed to full on cardiac arrest in about 2 seconds.

I still miss my old truck that got totaled. 8 foot bed. I could buy a truckload of plywood and nobody could even tell.

Granted, with the seats folded down I can fit whole sheets of plywood in my old suburban.

Nice Truck. I was looking to replace my 2011 F250 Lariat. A 2017 model with the same features as mine was listed at $70k. Nope!

Nice Truck!

Get the silly stickers off the rear fenders too! You can sell them to a high school kid for $500.

Damn. I bought a Chevy half ton LTZ. Sticker was 48k. I drove out at 34k.

Not if you buy a gasser and stay Lariat or below. I spent a little less for a 2017 F250 with the 6.2

Beautiful truck. Love the color.

They have to lower the price that much because nobody wants to buy their crappy products. Supply and demand bruh.

There is most likely an alignment hole behind it that will be exposed when you pull the badge. Same on the front fenders.

I want to pull trigger on 3.5- have you talked to someone about how it tows ? I have 26 ft number pull weighs around 5300- and we mevercput water or a lot of gear in it.

Update:


Truck already 53k miles (I drive a lot for work and have family out of town that we visit often).

Well I started getting a LOUD clanking noise from the engine on cold startup. It seriously sounds like an old 7.3 diesel for about 1-1.5 seconds the first time I start it up every morning. Even after sitting only 3 or 4 hours during the day, there will be some noise on startup but not quite as loud.

Took truck to dealership, they diagnosed it and the service advisor couldn't explain to me 100% what was wrong, but said it had something to do with the cam phaser/sprocket. They're going to fix it under warranty, so they ordered parts last week and I dropped it off this morning to be fixed. They estimate about week. I'll keep y'all updated on that.

Anyways, I still love my boost and I know there's a lot of positive discussion around here about them, But I just wanted to be fair and say they aren't necessarily 100% trouble free.

I've read about this on the forums.. makes me wonder if I'll see this on my 2019

Can you explain it better than the service adviser? What exactly is that issue?

Not 100% sure of the cause, but basically they have a TSB out for faulty cam phasers. Apparently they're not adjusting properly for a cold start, which is why it goes away after warming up.

Pretty sure it's this TSB. Common issue unfortunately .

eta: that one is for the 3.5l, there's another for the 2.7.

This one is also for 2015....

Here's the thread I was referring

https://www.f150forum.com/f118/17-3-5-ecoboost-rattle-401441/

my truck is in right now for the same issue. 2017 3.5 with 32k miles on it. sounds like a ****ty diesel on start up. hopefully they will fix her right up.

Just got call from the dealership. My truck is done and ready for pickup. I'll report back if it's actually fixed after a few days of cold startups.

I've got this issue on my 2011 3.5l. Sounds like total **** when I start it up almost every morning for the past week. How much is this going to cost me?
