This truck replaced my 2017 F150 that Ford bought back (Lemon Law) due a vibration issue they were unable to repair. Trust me, you never want to go through the buy back process. It will test your patience unlike anything else has. Been a lifetime long Ford truck guy so will hopefully chalk it up to a time one bad experience with the brand. Specs are: 2019 Lariat CC short bed 4x4 6.2 with 4:30 gears Upfitter switches, NAV, tailgate step, Lariat value package, full length running boards, rear wheel well liners I added 4 Ford splash guards, Ford bed mat, and Husky X act front floor mats The first 500 miles the fuel mileage is averaging 14 mpg. If it improves to 15 I'll be very happy. Should do a great job towing our "little" 5,000 pound boat. The 4;30's make a huge difference in power and driveability. More pep in the truck and climbs the long hills easy without any down shifting. In a couple of years when I have 35's installed it will still be in the sweet spot.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
Pretty spiffy truck all right, but I am surprised that you can get even 14 mpg out of a 6.2 let alone one with 4:30 gears and in the winter no less. Those new ones have a bunch more transmission speeds than even a few years ago. Pretty flat where I live and six speeds with 3:50's has worked just fine.
My other auto is a .45
The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
6 speed auto. I think for my style of driving the 4:30's are a plus. At least 50% of my driving is at 55-60 and when on the interstates I run 65. This keeps the motor in the sweet spot, 1,800 to 2,200 rpms. I despise under geared trucks, lol.

nice truck. i have a 15 with the 6.2 and i love it. if you get 14 you are doing good. with 3.73's here in pa i get 10.2 average over the last 40k miles.
Truck vibrated between 40-55 while under load. Coast, and vib went away. If I was pulling our boat it got worse. After more than 35 days in the shop they gave up.

My Dodge had that kind of vibration. Previous owner had the rear end replaced twice, sold it to me with the vibration. Heavy duty torque converter solved the issue (improper lock-up under load), but that certainly isn't the case with every truck. Glad you got a buy-back--you may be the first person I've heard of that came out of it with their sanity!
