2010 F150

Does anybody have one?? Curious to see the opinions of people Thanks

Just recently test drove one. Very nice ride, nice interior,good attention to fit and finish. Plenty of power - this was an FX4 with the 3.73 rear end. Overall a real nice truck. I've had 9 Ford trucks over the past 30 years and this is by far the best. I'm holding out for the 2011 which will feature the new eco boost V6 with 400 horses and incredible low end torque.

The one I am looking at has 3.31 rear end. Will that be ok for towing? I don't tow much anymore. I have a 8 x 16 wheel house in the winter but I mostly just pull it around on the lake.. Any problems with the sync?

[TR21]

Not familiar with the 3.31, am familiar with the 3.55. I prefer the low end power and speed from the 3.73 but that just a personal preference. You shouldn't have any problems pulling anything with that pickup in fact that higher rear end will give you better gas mileage as well. What model are you looking at?

[The_King48]

the XLT nothing too fancy.. I want the sync, and the driver pagackage. I think thats what they call that.

How does the trailer sway work?? Also does the rear end lock in on all models?

[TR21]

From what I understand the sway control works off the advance trac system and uses a series of alternate wheel braking and reduced engine power to eliminate any swaying. I would think the electronic lock differential would be a part of the sway control and stabil trac package - not sure though. You will like the sync system too. All phone calls come through the system, completely hands free operation and loading music is a breeze and its all voice operated. Very cool. Nothing wrong with the XLT either, they load those things up pretty nicely now.

I think the locking rear end is only on the FX4 model

I have been looking and reading up on the 2010 f150 and i might try and pull some strings and get one this up coming year.

well I pulled the trigger.... Love the truck... I get around 20MPG on the highway also... Of course I am babying it a little bit though to....

Milage will only improve as you get above 12k-15k on it. Expect about 24-25 mpg average, atleast that is what I have been hearing.

[CJH]

That's a solid truck, good for you!

[landscaper]

congrats! got any pictures?

That seems awfully good, even their HSOforum only claims 15/21.

I've only talked to a couple guys and neither had gotten over 20. But who knows.... any time a pickup gets 20 or more mpg thats great!

[fishhuntwork]

I have any 09 with the 5.4L. I've been getting 15 mpg average since day one. I have almost 7000 miles on it.

[TR21]

I get 16-17 with my 07 with a 5.4 ,but I have the 3.73 rear end as well. The 3.31 is going to get better highway mileage for sure. Congrats on the truck.

One thing to beware of is w/ the new Fords: the air filter is a cheezy slide in deal just like the filter on your furnace and it sits right above the intake manifold. If you suck blowing snow into it, your day will be ruined. It happened to a guy in a '09 F-150 w/ us on Leech last year in Feb. He was tailgating the truck in front of him while we were crossing the lake when he just quit/ stopped. We had to dig out the collapsed air filter w/ a coat hanger. He still couldn't get the truck to remain running for a couple of hours w/ the outside temps below 0. Lots of snow got past the filter and into the EFI system once the filter collapsed. That's when the fun really started...
