I think you'll be very happy with this truck. I bought one in March and it just went over 7000km. Now that it's broke in I changed the engine oil, and put in some Pennzoil Ultra Platinum full synthetic. I'd say I do about half highway half city driving and so far I seem to be getting about 10.5L per 100km combined. This is a great truck to buy if you don't have to tow heavy loads.
I got mine 2019 xlt crewcab 2 years now, 66000 kms now in Canada. Never towing anything yet. Use as a daily commute in the city, and hunting truck during the fall. Everage gas mileage is 11.5 L/ 100 kms I do oil change every 8000kms. Truck has not a single issue except the front door limiter has little noise which replaced under warranty.
@K Y On my window sticker under options it says 3.55 ratio regular axle. I was hoping it's limited slip since it has the full towing package like my old truck was. The guys at work says they are all limited slip today but mine doesn't say that, I think it's open axle.

I’m thinking of trading my 2017 Mustang GT for a 2019 f150 XLT with the 3.3V6. I love my mustang and it is so much fun.

I’m driving out 70 miles to go see the truck at the Ford dealership- we shall see.
If you’re going to do any towing make sure you get the factory tow package. It will be prewied for the 7 pin and give you the better instrument cluster screen. Otherwise the base looks like an 80’s green crt.
Because u can get the 3.3 F150s for dirt cheap, Im thinking about slapping a BorgWarner turbo on it the same company ford uses on their ecoboost engines.. since it makes nearly 300hp stock I think a borgwarner turbo could give it a massive torque and HP boost down low call it my own 3.3 v6 boost lol
Guillermo Ortiz my 2 previous were 5.0 because that was what was on the lot when I bought. The 13 in Canada you couldn’t get the 3.5 in a SCrew with 4x4, not till 15 when it went aluminum. For the 16, a friend owns a dealership and that one someone ordered it but cancelled it after delivery.
When we go camping I’m pulling about 2500lbs and at least 500lbs in the bed. I averaged around 12.7L/100km for 4000km. The 5.0 V8 I had with 3.31 rear end did the same. Only unloaded will you see the 3.3L beat the others in mileage. If it’s only a couple of times a year, go for it. If it’s every day, look at the V8. Cheers
It is tough to find a 3.3 up here. When dealers get them in they sell first but they don’t get as many as other engines. Ford pushes the 2.7 hard. XLT is pretty much the lowest trim you’ll find here. So no I did not custom order. Just need to be patient.
K G I try to. Somethings I can’t do. If it would take me more than a day or two. I take it somewhere, can’t have daily drivers down for too long, wife wouldnt be to happy. As for this truck, I haven’t had to do anything yet. Everything you mention is easily accessible.

Just traded in my 18 with 70k on it. The 3.3 is a great engine and trouble free for the 70k. The problem is 80 mph which is the speed limit here in Utah worked it to death.

Did you do it? Haha I’m looking for more power out of mine
Did you do it?!
Becides the duratec water pump fiasco, they are great engines. My mom has an edge with a duratec motor and it's like butter and has lots of power.
From my understanding they have corrected that issue for the 3.3.
Only transverse cylcone motors have internal water pumps. If you rock RWD in a mustang or F150, you are good to go.
To my understanding, it doesn't concern the F150 since the water pump on our engines isn't internal like the Edge and Explorer.
For the previous models what made you choose the 5.0 over the natural aspired 3.5 v6. ? n/A is always the most reliable ..good choices.
