Just bought a new F150 XLT Sport last night from my neighbour who sells for Northstar Ford in Cochrane. Not edmonton I know but he saved me 5k over and above what every other dealership in Calgary would sell me the exact same model with the same options for, even afternthe 8k incentive from ford. 55k sticker then 8k from for then an extra 5k from there. Ended up coming in at $40123.00 plus tax. Worth the drive maybe!

This question wouldn't happen to be part of a new AO Forum I.Q. test?

If it were my money i would be looking at a new Chev pickup from competition in Stony plain.

SlightlyDistracting · #10 10-12-2017, 08:37 PM

In my humble opinion I would buy a Chev
I work mostly on Ford, but in my opinion Chev makes the best pickup. Domestic anyway.
Once again its only my opinion but the fit and finish on new aluminum f150s is far inferior to Chev.
I personally have more than once replaced boxsides on BRAND new truckks due to cracked aluminum. Ive fixed deer hits that literally wipped off the front end.
They are popcans.

In my humble opinion

I think this is great advice.

That said, when I was shopping around I looked at all of them. I would avoid the aluminum body, at the time I was looking there were very few body shops that would work on them and repairs were on average double from the guys I spoke with. I wasn't pleased with Sherwood Ford's sales or service (work vehicle is a Ford), and didn't have great luck with service at Koch either, can't comment on the sales side though. I have found the service department at Freedom to be pretty good to deal with.

A good friend of mine swears by Rodney's service at Vegreville Ford, might be worth a phone call.

SlightlyDistracting · #12 10-12-2017, 08:40 PM

The poop I had to do to BRAND new vehicles (ford) often before they were sold to customers was pathetic. Mustangs and Edges were the worst.
I just think the better product is a Chev

Congrats, this post offers nothing but a conclusion based on personal opinion with absolutely no factual information to back it up. For all we know you just suck at working with aluminum and that is why you don't like them.

Actually aluminum is pretty easy to work with. Its waiting three months for parts that makes efficient repairs difficult. I stated numerous times that it was my opinion, and everything I stated was truthful and come down to it can be proven.

Slicktricker · #15 10-12-2017, 08:50 PM

I can name a lot of guys who own the new fords and not one bad thing to say about them

Esox · #16 10-12-2017, 09:02 PM

Not in Edmonton but go to Vegreville Ford and ask for Rodney in sales. Just bought a 2017 f350 from him and this is my families 4th vehicle through him in the past 4 years. We also bought my wifes F150 from him 1.5 years ago from him. We travel from Calgary to buy from them. Have never been treated better by a salesman and dealership

brslk · #17 10-12-2017, 09:04 PM

I dunno bout the rest of you but when I buy a vehicle, the last thing on my mind is "how easy or expensive is it going to be to repair the body if it gets wrecked".

For one, I've owned a lot of vehicles and gotten into very few accidents. I try not to smash it up.

Secondly, I don't care how much it costs to fix or how difficult it is. It's a new vehicle. I have insurance.

I'm much more concerned about the mechanical aspects of it than the body.
People have been driving Fiberglass, Aluminum and Plastic bodied cars for a long time without issue.

Having said that. I'd buy a Dodge. I just like the mirrors.

Norwest Alta · #18 10-12-2017, 09:08 PM

Can't help you with a sales person but after talking to the tow truck driver that towed my wife's truck, dodge is the one to be in if you're in a collision. Pretty impressive that she walked away thankfully.

sourdough doug · #19 10-12-2017, 09:11 PM

Hey LC,. Give Paul a call at Westlock Ford and tell him I sent you.
For additional info on other vehicles...they are all going AL.
Ford is just one step ahead ..

Ahh, you posted your experience while I was writing my initial response so I stand corrected and apologize good sir!

My 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 had an Aluminium frame.

I believe Ford came out in 2016 with the Aluminium frame.

If I'm not mistaken, GMC came out with it first.

Since I drive a ton of miles, I trade in every 18-20 months (mileage and allowance pays the difference for me and take the sting right off of me) and I'm now driving a 2017 Ford f-150. It's also a Aluminium frame.

I have to tell you, in my sincere opinion, I'd get a GMC. They ride better, are far more comfortable and have less issues to deal with.

Also, and I know some will think this is petty, but it's something you use everyday, things like USB ports, the Nav system, the trays/cubbies and storage and even the cup holders are so much better in the GMC.

My cup holder in the ford drives me nuts. I get a Starbucks every morning and I have to sleeve it with a wash cloth thing so it sits snugly and doesn't wobble and spill all over the change tray and stuff.

I know, I know, first world problems, but seriously annoying.

Mechanically, I typically reach 100 k and flip the vehicles and all of them have had a few routine issues. So Far the ford has had more electrical annoyances and other weird stuff (all under warranty) but no big deal.

chedder · #22 10-12-2017, 09:45 PM

There are no aluminum frames. Ford has an aluminum body and gm appears to be going that way. All trucks have steel frames.

HunterDave · #23 10-12-2017, 10:28 PM

I bought a '17 F150 with 3.5L ecoboost from Sherwood Ford a few months ago. It was fast, easy and no hassles. They have a great site (with prices) to shop on. There were a couple of websites that I used to figure out the mark up, etc that really helped me out with making a "take it or I'll go shopping" offer. I can't remember what they were though. I did my homework, knew what I wanted and how much I'd pay, so I avoided the dealing meat grinder.

Purchased my superduty there as well.

Any dealership in Edmonton I've dealt with in the past was super sketchy.

DK, was decent in my opinion.

338Bluff · #25 10-12-2017, 10:57 PM

On my second Ford in 6 years. First one had nothing but trouble with rear diff. The new one has a different rear end in it and has been ok mechanically but oh my gosh the small stuff is literally falling apart. Heater fan motor, tailgate lock, back up sensors etc. All small but thousands to fix it. Going down the road as soon as the last payment goes through. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

Claymaker · #26 10-13-2017, 12:52 AM

go buy a toyota tundra and have a great truck, hold its value and minimal issues next twenty years you drive it

Buckhorn2 · #27 10-13-2017, 03:50 AM

I have a 2015 F150 xlt, 5 litre, bought it new. It washboards like no other ford ive owned, or other brand of truck ive seen. On dirt roads it is to the point of being dangerous with the ass end kicking out, even at 20km/hr. I do alot of driving on the trunk/lease roads. I have owned just about every generation of f150 except the 04-08. And none of them have washboarded like this one. I will be trading in in january and i am considering other brands of trucks. Not sure how much off pavement driving you do? Other then the washboarding the truck has been great. Good on gas, zero repairs so far in 69k.

Kim473 · #28 10-13-2017, 06:52 AM

Always had good luck and no hassles buying from Waterloo and Kentwood ford dealerships. They both have gone the extra mile for me in the past.

Prdtrgttr · #29 10-13-2017, 07:02 AM

Lefty, what others have said. Get the Silverado.

Newellknik · #30 10-13-2017, 07:04 AM

I can't believe I totally agree with EZM .
I'm on my 15 th new Ford truck won't have another .
Main reason is Ford is just a nickel dime company .
Bad warranty and customer service .
My best fishing buddy has a New Titan ....nice truck .
Good mileage ..

If your stuck on Ford , check pricing with Advantage Ford
in Calgary ....I know two Edmontonians who got their Fords
there ...best price by $1000.s
