Recalls and complaints

There are 9 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 1,339 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

Reading the spec sheet

The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Expect about 29 litres for every 300 km, going by its 9.5 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, it costs about $14.73 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Good uses for the F-150

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Living with the F-150

As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.

A longer test drive

If the F-150 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$3,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $147.30 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
