2013 Ford F-150 Lariat: This series now features standard SYNC(R) with MyFord Touch(R) voice-activated driver controls in addition to a powerful yet fuel efficient 5.0-liter V8. (6/2/2012)

The redesigned F-150 was pretty cool in a lot of aspects and it offered a reasonably solid pickup truck. But here’s the problem. The F-150 still had a lot of the mechanical issues that plagued the rest of the truck generation. Electrical shortcomings are all too common for this truck and that is just the start of the problems. These trucks were notorious for the emblems fading and the valves in the engine getting stuck. Not to mention the fact that its automatic transmission also has a lot of issues.

The next generation of the truck was all new and a lot of these issues were addressed, but for most shoppers, it was time to move onto another truck brand. The F-150 will go down as one of the more iconic pickups in the market place.
