And hauling a 4,500 lb vehicle 150 miles is no walk in the park. You usually don't tow anything that heavy with an F-150 (or any other truck in that class). The guy at u-haul was reluctant to rent me the trailer (which was over 1000 lbs by itself).
I've owned a new Chevy, F-150, and Dodge and never had a problem with any of them. Ever.
I have a buddy who got sucked in by the over dramatic advertising of Nissan and bought a Titan. He's had it just over a year and has already had to take it in for repairs 3 times for 2 different problems. He regrets he ever bought the dang thing.
Again, F-150 has been the #1 selling VEHICLE in the US (not just truck, but vehicle overall) for over 30 straight years. There's a reason for that.
Thinking that a company (or companies) that is new to the game (full size pickups) is better then companies that have been doing it for decades is ignorant.
I've got a 2004 Extended Cab F150 Lariat and I absolutely love it. It's got the 5.4L engine with a tow package and I've towed things most people wouldn't try. I've pulled trailers as long as 60' without a problem.
It has all leather on the interior, and I've found it to be very comfortable and well laid-out. I drive from Austin to Kingsville non-stop twice a month and I'm also in my truck for several hours a day going to and from work and I never mind the drive. For having such a large engine it gets surprisingly good gas mileage too. I really like the sound system it came with as well, it sounds better than some custom systems I've heard.
