[QUOTE="jz1, post: 1137907, member: 21481"] Just picked up my truck yesterday. Overall like it a lot. Looks great in Avalance Grey with all the darker trim. Interior is awesome but I guess that's similar for all new F150/250s (I previously had a 2015 F250), ride and handling on road are very good though big tires certainly hurt response to repeated left right steering input. Power is decent but not awesome. Biggest issues: 1) Motor is just underwhelming given strength of rest of platform. This thing deserves a supercharged V8 or at least a very high output V8. Sounds and feel from this motor are just a bit lacking again relative to how strong rest of package is. For $67K MSRP i just think it deserves better 2) Brake feel - just seems like you have to push a long way to get it to really grip. F250 brakes were awesome. These are underwhelming. Again, would be easy to fix this. Also, might just be me but there seems to be too much space between the gas/brake pedals. lifted foot off gas a few times only to put it down to right of brake pedal. Guess I'm used to heel/toe distance from my cars and think the F250 was different as well. Other than that enjoying it a lot. I would pay another $10K to have a really world class V8 in this thing though. Think they just sold the platform a little short with the 3.5 [/QUOTE]
