Ford F-150 13th Generation

20152020 · P552 · truck

First aluminum-body F-150. Lighter, more fuel-efficient, but body panels dent easier than steel. The 2.7L and 3.5L EcoBoost engines dominate over the naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 for towing. Frame is still steel. Common issues center on cam phasers (2.7L EcoBoost) and 10-speed transmission shift quality (2017+).

Watch out: 10R80 10-speed transmission shift quality on 2017+ trucks — harsh 1-2 and 2-3 shifts and shudder are widely reported. Ford has issued multiple TSBs (e.g., 23-2250, 24-2046) addressing the CDF clutch cylinder sleeve and PCM calibration.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
