2006 Ford F150 Reviews from North America - Page 2 of 2

Fuel injector stuck open at 150 miles.

Tire thumping upon receipt. Probable defect in tire. Not resolved.

Howling (whistling) from fuel system when air is 35 degrees or colder. Not resolved.

Heating air handling system will not switch to defrost until engine warms up when below 40 degrees.

Rear differential cover is rusting through.

Acceleration lag and shifting delay are poor to the point of nuisance.

Wind and engine noises (valve lifters) are higher than reasonably expected.

Braking and handling characteristics are superior.

The extra deep bed is more of a nuisance than useful, since you cannot reach over the side to place or retrieve objects.

Power windows on both sides.

6 disc CD changer broke.

A couple of sensors went.

It is a great poweful truck, but with great power comes even greater fuel bills.

It's very smooth and quiet, but with a high tailgate it's hard to back up.

No problems yet.

So far my 2006 F150 Lariat has been a good truck. I traded a 2005 regular cab FX4 for the Lariat.

The leather interior is nice, and the truck is great looking inside and out.

The climate control system is a little annoying; trying to change the settings while driving.

I would recommend buying used, as the sticker for this truck new was in upper $30,000 range, and you can pick up a used one with 30 to 40k miles in the 15 to $20,000 range, and add the Ford extended warranty, which is basically the same as the original factory warranty.

I lost the ABS power brakes shortly after the factory warranty expired.

The vehicle still had brakes, but you had to stand on the brake pedal to make the truck stop. Even then it was difficult to stop the vehicle. I took it to an independent repair shop and they discovered and repaired a vacuum line leak. That was all that was wrong with it.

Otherwise, it has been a pleasure to own the vehicle.
