Been hating on Ford for too long…

I just picked up a 2017 F-150 Lariat, and I take back everything I’ve ever said about Ford. GM can suck it lol.

I’ve got a ‘16 Lariat in the same color combo, and I love it. Running the 5.0, just hit 119k!

I’ve got a ‘15 with 95k miles. She’s been great!

That’s a lot of miles! Respect.

@Jin
Are those miles combined, or per lady? Either way, that’s impressive!

As Indiana Jones once said: ‘It’s not the years, it’s the mileage.’ Applies here too!

I’ve got a ‘15 3.5 EB Lariat with ~86k. Working from home since 2020 has kept the miles down. I’d love a Ranger Raptor, but I’m too attached to this truck.

Check out my profile to see mine!

Welcome to the Ford family!

Great to see one of my many patients again!

GM trucks drive nice, but they’re junk. The F-150 isn’t perfect, but at least I didn’t have to visit the dealer five times before the first oil change.

My biggest gripe with GM trucks is the rearview mirrors—they’re mounted way too low.

For me, it’s the V8s that seem to self-destruct before they even break in.

I had a V6 with 89k miles, babied it, and the transmission still gave out. Total letdown.

@Pippin
Funny enough, GM and Ford shared the same transmission tech back then. Hopefully, yours is the 6-speed paired with the 5.0. If so, you dodged a bullet.

My dad had a 2003 Yukon Denali with the 6.0, and it hit 350k before rust killed it. Meanwhile, his newer 2015 Sierra with a 5.3 failed at 49k. He swapped it for a 2019 6.2… and that one failed at 33k. It’s a shame what GM has become.

Great color combo! I traded in my 2014 Chevy LT (which ran reliably to 240k miles) for a Lariat, and it’s just so much nicer.

240k miles is amazing! My 2017 LT gave up at 89k.

@Pippin
Lots of highway miles. The first year alone I put 36k on it.
