Coming from two 2 3 series and another on the way, (M3 oh yah) my F150 Lariat 5.0 is my DD but less enjoyable as such. Eats whatever winter throws it. Pothole season is not an issue. Packs up easily for family ski trips. Serves as a tow vehicle. Comfortable. Nice features. Soulless but sounds good when I get on it. Great highway cruiser. Awkward in small spaces. Parking garages are a nightmare. Build quality is a disappointment. I’ve decided to keep it long term. I don’t feel like rewarding Ford for over priced decades old flaws they seem to never fix Gen after Gen. It’s probably the most practical vehicle I’ve owned though. I worry about a major engine or transmission failure given the quality issues with all full size truck manufacturers. Most hold up but consistency in quality of production is lacking at Ford and has been for a while. Buying a truck should be based on your use case profile. Spec accordingly. Other more engaging vehicles will serve you better if towing and payload are less critical or not required.
