2011 F-150....................

The only problem so far is that I can't keep my damned foot off the floor!!!!! This pony just wants to run hard!

I have never been happier with a single vehicle purchase in my life. I love this truck and it was well worth waiting for.

I love the electronic dash.

I particularly love the seats, the positions and the support.

I love the epas.

I love the power, smoothness, quietness, it's ride height and the mpg's are good as well so long as I behave my self.

Other than the access to the oil dip stick, I can't think of one complaint.

Any other feel good stories?

Well I took my atv out yesterday...a good hour drive in the truck to the riding spot. I really wanted a supercab with a 6.5 bed so that I could get the ATV in with the tailgate closed...BUT after I was able to change (with my small 6'2" skinny ***) in the back, comfortably, I am more than happy with the 5.5 crew-cab. Comparing this truck to my 04 is night and day. The ride home last night was such a treat after riding...smooth as silk, not to mention how quiet it is with the windows up. Powering up hills that my old truck struggled with was a blast. Although, I still can't get out of the 16.1-3 mpg range for some reason

. I have to admit that the shifting is pleasant as well. My significant other has a Lexus rx350 and I really think this truck shifts better/smoother. As for the braking, this thing brakes awesome! Already had a couple near misses, but I feel confident with this setup...smooth and responsive...although, I tend not to mash on the brakes even under emergencies(habit learned from previous vehicles). The one thing I wish would come out for this is some apps!...more goodies to choose from in the info center to keep me occupied.

I love mine to! The 5.0L is mean! As is the Ecoboost!

And it climbs like a mountain goat. My inner child got the better of me the other day and I drove up a steep gravel hill to try out my 4X4 and locker...Didn't even slip a tire. And I couldn't see anything outta my windshield except sky!! All that power and all that capability with 20+mpg on the highway and 17+ around town...I think I'm in heaven.

These 2011 F-150's are amazing trucks.

Agreed! I absolutely love my driving my truck each and every time. It's the first vehicle I've had where I enjoy every aspect of it. I have the EcoBoost and I wouldn't trade that baby for any engine on the market. I think the only gripe I have is that my cloth seats in back are showing some wear from vacuuming it out a lot due to our dog. A good seat cover should take care of that.

My truck seems to sit more than driven but every time I get into it I just love the rumble and the firm but forgiving ride....

I just got a new 2011 F150 4x4 XLT as a company truck and I love it as well. I was wondering though, I thought I read that for 2011, telescoping steering wheel and a 110 outlet in the console was standard and this has neither.
