Coming up on 5 days with a new F150. Replaced a 2011 F150 Super Cab. Difference is very noticeable in terms of lower road noise. Old truck had the 3.7 V6 with 3.73 Posi, new one has the 5.0 V8 and 3.31 locker.

So far mileage seems almost identical as far as the dash computer reading, will see when hand calculated. 23MPG at 65MPH and 21MPG at 70MPH. Tried to find another Super Cab, but they are almost non existent.

Tech is way over the 2011. The new Sync3 is Android based and very fast, even with the Nav. They finally took the climate controls out of the touchscreen menus and went back to knob/button controls.

So far,so good....nice truck.

Those are great mileage numbers. I'm lucky to break 17mpg at ANY speed in my '11 F150 Supercab 5.0L 4x4 with 3.55 open.
 
Great looking truck you got.
I had a 2011 F350 CC TD XLT and went to a 2015 XL gasser
and wait until you get under it to change the oil.

Just as you said there is a big difference in the quality of the hardware and the execution of it all. My 2015 is far better built and the qc is awesome. It's never been back to the dealer for any issues.

Changed the oil many times on the 2011 3.7, looks very similar on the 5.0 with oil filter placement, etc., will wait a few thousand miles to find out.

My 2011 had a chronic drivers side window rattle
After 3 attempts to fix it the dealer said it is what it is and said live with it...........

No issues on this F350
 
Yes, 4x2.

Sticker was 48,500 even(lots of bells). Paid $37,014 plus TTL. Lots of advertised specials, especially around the Houston area, printed them out and took with me to local dealers here in south Louisiana.
