From The Logbook
"Doesn't seem to be wearing well. Shifter is duct-taped closed after top plastic clip broke and whole assembly unraveled. Makes shifting impossible without tape. Still earns high marks for interior looks and feel, though."
- Mark Williams
"It doesn't surprise me that the F-150 sells as well as it does. It does it all in a great-looking and easy-to-access package."
- Matt Stone
"Its structure is outstanding; tight, quiet, and largely shudder-free. Ride quality is a qualified miraculous--light years ahead of the previous model's."
- Chris Walton
"The back seats have enough room for full-size adults without having to move the front seats so far forward that you feel like you're steering with your elbows."
