@@djayt1215 yea they all use the word “linear power” when describing the five oh power delivery. It’s a polite term for having no power at takeoff, then waiting for the power to hit at 4500 rpm🙄
I drove and eco boost for a week and average of 26 mpg i also pulled an 89 26 foot camper trailer and didn't feel the trailer and it stayed in 5 gear most of the trip.
John Grytbakk ..U say that until u drive the amazing V6 engines that are Ecoboost! No doubt tho.. the 5.0 Coyote V8 is an awesome new motor. U have plenty of good options! Only Ford Motor could pull that off and now the '18 F150 3.0L powerstroke diesel coming out very soon. Oh yea!!
Jacob Easton ...Ur right! All I want in any new Ford or Lincoln I buy now is an Ecoboost motor. Excellent design & Engineering! Be sure to run a "full synthetic" motor oil always.. such as Mobil1 EP or Pennzoil Platinum etc (along w/Motorcraft oil & air filters) to combat excess heat an increase performance & longevity of the twin turbo beast!
the 2.7 is the most purchased engine ford has but i took the 3.5 because it only comes in the limited model ...ill trade in my 16 limited for a 18 model next fall.
F-150 KING OF TRUCKS ...both the new 2.7 V6 & gen2 - 3.5 V6 are phenomenal engines! Can't go wrong with either just depends ur needs. Be sure run a full synthetic motor oil to keep the twin turbo cool & happy. Any newer F150 will last 20yrs easy!
Patrick Rich ..yes the new Ranger will be awesome u can bet on it. Ford always owned the small truck class and literally gave it up to put max effort / R&D spending into the #1 selling & most advanced trucks on the planet..F-Series! They will regain the small truck 👑 crown for sure. GM is doing great w/their new Colorado & Canyon small trucks giving Yoda fits w/ its outdated ugly Tacoma built in MEXICO folks! I'm a Ford guy all the way but give GM props for reviving small truck class with their 2 awesome smaller trucks. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Here at 8,200ft elevation with its diminished air density, forced induction is the way forward. .. An elevation/specific output general rule of thumb for internal combustion engines is; Every 1,000ft elevation above-sea-level negatively offsets specific output by -3%. .. Vail, Colorado's 8,200ft above sea-level elevation takes a negative -20% hit ...
B-roll clips don't match up with the trim levels being discussed. As convoluted as the F150's various grilles and options can get to the uninitiated, this part of the video likely just adds to the confusion.
Sadly, no. This was at an event controlled by Ford, so we had a very limited time with the truck. We will definitely be getting the 2018 F-150 back again for a future off-road test.
Tbow499 ..the guy is a straight fool! ignore. The RAM in all honestly is a good truck but in no way compares to F150 in design/engineering/tech/reliability. Test drive an see my friend that's all it takes. Dobt forget only Ford has alum alloy bodies so never rust or oxidation. Happy truck shopping. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Johnny Blaze ZX14R ..ur current truck must need it or they wouldn't offer or its sales ploy. F150 engines are legendary ..many many have gone dwn in truck history books as best of best. They building Gen2 Ecoboost motors already..started bk in 2011 w/1st yr of 3.5L Gen1 Ecoboost and was a durable beast then! The newer Gen2 3.5L & 2.7L V6 Ecoboost motors are refined highly durable beasts! Millions on rd currently. Consumer Reports #1 rated truck is F150.
Johnny Blaze ZX14R ..Ford's powertrain warranty I believe is 5yrs /60k mis ? Don't worry u won't be needing it! Not joking. F150 is always #1 for a reason. Design/tech/engineering/reliability. Period. U get 5 excellent & highly acclaimed engine choices. Test drive and u will see why ppl pick Ford trucks. Besides if u feel better u can get up to 120k or 150k extended powertrain warranties for not mush add'l in my experiences. Don't waste ur $ . Change oil with quality full synthetic oil every 5-6k mis and last ya 20yrs easy. F150s don't rust..only truck that has had military grade alum alloy bodies since 2015. 🇺🇸
Tommy Tsunami ..what truck u own? if new titan the longer warranty is for buyer confidence in a lower volume all new design. haven't heard much bout new titan ..sounded pretty good from start but don't think sales are meeting goals . I stick with Ford trucks..F150 or F250. Can't go wrong. Never let me dwn and I've bought many.. always new. I run em hard and maintain them well. My friends/coworkers says same thing! all alum alloy bodies now are icing on cake! Never rust or oxidation. 🇺🇸
Sukhraj Dhillon ..the Ecoboost twin turbo V6 motors are heavy duty built and run real strong. Will out run any small displacement V8 out there. Use a full synthetic motor oil and u will get 250k+ mis easy! Ecoboost been around since 2011. They on Gen2 designs. Worry not its an F150!🇺🇸
Greg Walker ..yea all these beautiful high tech new trucks are pricey but plus side is Ford has 0% for 72mos just announced & if properly maintained all know an F150 will last 20yrs easy. Especially w/ new since '15 alum alloy bodies. Built for long haul.
I want to test drive a RCSB 2wd 3.3 F150. That engine sounds nice and 0-60 in around 7.5 seconds is not bad at all. (the fact that trucks now are so nice and quick and efficient makes old trucks and sporty cars looks less practical). The current F150 interior is pleasing even in basic XL form- though who keeps ordering these without even cruise control? Cruise control helps mpg on highway,m and you can't add cruise to 15+ F150s after the fact. googles.. Great googly moogly. Ford wants $1250 just for cruise. It's just some steering wheel buttons and programming. f**k.
nice video but how about the STOP START tech. I know some mercedez stop at the red light next to me, when they start the engine again, they sound like really sh*ity - really bad. scary even, How about he START/Stop tech in the F150 works????
irafael8080 ..its nearly undetectable in the F150. Plus u can turn it off with switch on dash anytime u want. The Ecoboost motors run quiet an smooth. Love em. My fiance cab have the German car cause my F150 rides better and quieter. More dependable too. Funny, she prefers traveling in the F150 Lariat crew cab FX4 over her car! hmmmm.
My Mercedes GLS 450 has that option called the "eco" mode and i turn it off. With Mercedes making more and more power ( mine 362 hp and 369 ft/lbs ) they sounds mean af when they start IMO. They growl really loud and I think Mercedes is trying to make there cars louder on the outside as in growl and stuff.
RAM TRUCKS ..ur an idiot. u are a Ram guy but can't respect other trucks ...esp better ones eh? stop trolling.. u will get depressed cause the F150s are BEST BY FAR.
9:15 Brand new truck and it looks like the gas door spring closure mechanism is already broke. All these years and Ford still hasn't fixed that issue. Don't trouble yourself Ford, I'll fix it on this one too.
1966johnnywayne ..what the heck are ya talkin bout? this is a preproduction vehicle my man ..the 3 huge US truck plants that build all F-series are rolling out this new truck carefully an not up to full speed as of yet. Its all about quality control & precision manufacturing! Ford is lite yrs ahead of all others in design & technology that's no secret. U will be very happy w/ur new F150 as I think u alluded to getting new one.. as I am also! '18 F150 Lariat Crew Cab FX4 w/ 3.0 Powerstroke diesel / 10spd tranny plus heavy duty tow package.
All things considered, I prefer Ford over other manufacturers. It's kinda like choosing a political affiliation...which one can I tolerate and is going to drain my pocket the least! "Ford is lite yrs ahead of all others in design & technology"...fanaticism is going to blind you to all their faults much to your dismay.
1966johnnywayne ..lets not go overboard now Johnny Wayne. I'm telling like it is all truth w/a bit of "fun writing" thrown in. Nonetheless glad you enjoyed my replies. I wrote a couple scroll dwn to see...happy reading.. an reduce regrets in life I sometimes say...owning a new shiney F150 is great way to do that!! Go for it life is short #FordTrucks
LR was sold by Ford to the Indians. That's Asian Indians not ethnic Americans. Not sure where the engines are coming from now? Just hope they are more reliable than the LR's.
Dartmoor Dave .. all Ford's *5* engine options come from Ford engine plants! designed/engineered/assembled by Ford including the new Powerstroke diesels! this is for max quality control and it shows. All engines class leading and most tech.
I wasn't concerned about the US Fords, I was just commenting that as the engines are Peugeot 4's and 6's in the Landrover range I was curious to see if they were to buy Ford diesels. Some of those in Europe are actually Peugeot lumps.
I'm in the process of buying a new truck. And Ford, Dodge and Chevy are doing a great job of changing my mind, and buying an older vehicle. QUIT CHANGING SHIT, And MAKE THEM TRUCKS . I Don't Give A SHIT ABOUT WIFI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Range rovers have the worst reliability now Ford is going to use one of their engines in the flagship brand. I am not a Psychic but I can see what is coming. Why did they not converse with IHC they have used their engines since the the early 90s 6.9 7.3 6.0 6.7 really these diesels have made the brand what it is today yeah 6.0 had crappy injectors and the 3 valve gassers had crappy plugs but still have a loyal following. I have a 2007 5.4 with 250k plugs every 40 k no problems cam phazers quiet 5k oil changes with pennsoil platinum 5w30 not 5w20 since 100k runs like new. Waiting untill 2021 to get a 2018 lease return for half price like i did with my 2007. And yea a 5.0 not an ecoscrap v sixes have no business under the hood of a truck.
First, the 2.7 ecoboost is a 4 cyl., not a 6 cyl. Second, unless your towing/ hauling everyday, the 5.0 is antiquated and a waste of money. Its still in the lineup for old timers who can't wrap their head around modern turbos. Yes, the turbos of the 80's and early 90's were garbage, but that was loooong ago. And lets be real, if you're towing and hauling on a regular basis, you should be looking at an F250/350 anyway. I went from a 2014 5.0 f150, and now have the 2017 2.7 liter. Its fast. It does just fine towing a boat. it gets great mpg for day to day driving. There's really no turbo lag. it took a lot for me to see a 4cyl as the way to go in a fullsize truck, but its the real deal. It turned the f150 into something very fun to drive. Don't believe me, go test drive one.
Jason T. ..Can't beat the newer F150 Ecoboost trucks! No need be defensive.. only a *fool* would think Ford Motor would bet the whole future of F-series on an incredible tech rich engine lineup if it wasn't "top notch" w/ monster power & durability! The Ecoboost V6 now represents over 60% of all new F150s sold. Amazing. The 3.5L & 2.7L.. are both V6s. The 2.7L is NOT a 4cyl as someone wrongly stated in these comments.
Jason T. ..sorry gotta correct ya again man! Ur def a true Ford truck guy like myself w/ur passion for these machines but to set record straight...the 5.0 V8 option .. same Coyote V8 now available in Mustang is far from antiquated as it was totally new design for 2011 MY. I think u were meaning to say.. its not the "wise modern choice" to get a V8 when these Ecoboost V6s are so powerful & rugged for their size. Just be sure to use top brand "full synthetic" motor oil in ur truck to protect the twin turbos and reduce heat & friction. Use the OEM Motorcraft oil filters & air filters for best protection! Most ppl I know are changing the oil at 5-6000k mis max! Forget the recommended 10k mis or 1yr.
Jacob Easton ..Whoa easy there cowboy.. the guy made a mistake & we all corrected him. Now, go out there an get ur NEW 2018 model refreshed, & 100% bad ass F-150 Platinum or Limited or King Ranch edition if U want be da man! Oh yea.
In my opinion the 302 5.0 L V8 is the only engine that belongs in a F-150 with a 5 spd manual transmission instead of this new automatic pieces of shit
Matt Sprayberry the problem with all of you manual purists is you guys don't buy new vehicles with manuals, you just bitch about it. The manual is going the way of the buffalo due to sales and advancements in automatic transmissions
I hate to be the bearer of bad news,... but i do not want a truck that automatically stops for people and i will tell you why, because the criminals once they learn of this they will stop you steal your truck and do whatever they want with you.
Newton Washinton ...no cause for worries. keep doors locked ..well they lock automatically. trust ur F150 to keep ya safe an not let ya dwn. I do. owned 5 so far. best of best!🇺🇸
Compete in years to come? More like get as much money as you can now before Chevy and Ram drop their new platforms. Seriously starting at $27k. That is just too much for a basic work truck. The MPG numbers are not great with all that aluminum and car engines. The looks also falloff a bit more from last year. Although I do gripe that the base models are about 50% higher than they should be. The higher trim models are priced well. You would have to wonder why someone would opt for the Ford F150 XLT over the higher trim models when it is priced that high. It is a little sad that Ford has not been able to match the MPG numbers of Ram yet despite Ram selling a 6k lbs 12 year old platform that they strapped a diesel to.
I dont like ford at all they have burnt me on 8 trucks and I will never own another but the 2.7L engine is impressive only thing is the 10 speed. Too many gears, I had a ram with a 10 speed it was changing too much but it does help with fuel mileage.
Joe Blo ..haha I think was consumer reports or JD Power said more Ford trucks registered on rd w/200k + mis than any other brand by far! I do like GMC. just cannot deny the king of trucks Ford F-series!
foreignobject.. others beg to differ! must evolve and stay ahead all others. Ford does this. love gen2 3.5L Ecoboost mated to 10spd auto w/heavy duty tow package. A 2018 F150 Lariat crew cab Fx4 hopefully soon my daily driver & travel vehicle. plan put 300k+ mis on it ...easy. Pennzoil full synthetic oil and Motorcraft filters always. Changed 5kmis religiously..my other Ford trucks loved that schedule & never failed me ...ever.
This guy does a great job with the reviews and he looks like a regular person
reviewsitedollars you mean fat?
There's nothing wrong with this guy he looks better than me and probably has a better looking woman than me
@@Provenblueprint this footage is one of the few times he isn’t eating something, and he does have a “life partner”😳
I drove the '18 coyote and 3.5 Eco last weekend. On those two paticular vehicles, the 5.0 had lag, the 3.5 was spot on.
Umm N/A engines don't have lag like ever, u probably just felt it shift into gear
by lag, I'm sure they meant that the engine had to rev higher to feel the same power as the 3.5. Its not turbo lag, but delay to peak power.
@@djayt1215 yea they all use the word “linear power” when describing the five oh power delivery. It’s a polite term for having no power at takeoff, then waiting for the power to hit at 4500 rpm🙄
Already 2018. Damn, the years are going by fast.
5.0 is the way to go. Less to no headache. Smooth
The 5.0 was changed for 2018.Now it is a oil burner. Google this issue.
@@Mullis4901 and it has the death rattle

You kinda look like that kid from "Bad Santa". Great review, I'm gonna get one.
Very good overview. You even covered the base engine, which I rarely see. Great job, keep up the good work!
A naturally aspirated V8 is the way to go. The other options are of no interest.
John Grytbakk ..U say that until u drive the amazing V6 engines that are Ecoboost! No doubt tho.. the 5.0 Coyote V8 is an awesome new motor. U have plenty of good options! Only Ford Motor could pull that off and now the '18 F150 3.0L powerstroke diesel coming out very soon. Oh yea!!
I have the 3.5 eco in my 2016. Its one hell of a motor. I was skeptical at first. But it out performs the 5.0 in everything.
Jacob Easton ...Ur right! All I want in any new Ford or Lincoln I buy now is an Ecoboost motor. Excellent design & Engineering! Be sure to run a "full synthetic" motor oil always.. such as Mobil1 EP or Pennzoil Platinum etc (along w/Motorcraft oil & air filters) to combat excess heat an increase performance & longevity of the twin turbo beast!
John Grytbakk ..well then get the awesome Coyote 5.0 in UR new F150 & the rest of us will take the 3.5L or 2.7L EcoBeast option!! Yeaaaa.
More power when you get on it, more mpg when you don't. And the EcoBoost actually has low end torque unlike the 5.0
Dude really great review. Am I'll ready to see those trucks on the road lifted especially those Platinums and King Ranch Models.
David Neal .. me too! 2018 F150 Lariat FX4 loaded on my radar! nice modest lift and reasonable new tires/rims:)
Lol lol k

I like what Ford is doing with their trucks. (I'm an ex 2008 Tahoe owner, but am open to other brands)

Whilst watching this video, I keep wanting to say, "You're killin me, Smalls!" Oh yeah, nice truck.
I have no use for such a vehicle, but it's no surprise Ford dominates this market.

F-150 KING OF TRUCKS ...both the new 2.7 V6 & gen2 - 3.5 V6 are phenomenal engines! Can't go wrong with either just depends ur needs. Be sure run a full synthetic motor oil to keep the twin turbo cool & happy. Any newer F150 will last 20yrs easy!
my baby is only getting the best oil that money can buy...
That 3.3 will be a great competitor in the Ranger. Less power than the Colorado, but more than the Tacoma, and probably the best mileage of the bunch.
Patrick Rich ..yes the new Ranger will be awesome u can bet on it.

David Klimmek Both the Toyota Tacoma & Tundra are built in San Antonio, Texas and have been since 2009.
They need to put the 2.7 in the ranger blow the doors off any competition in this segment.
Maybe that's the engine in that Ranger Raptor I keep hearing about. It would definitely be interesting.
Tacoma's are made in Mexico, Bubba.
Bret Kelly is now doing truck reviews, nice. Good work.

My F150 is comfortable for daily driving and my Tacoma is good for going off road. Two best trucks in the world IMO.
Is it possible to turn off the « stop and go » system?
Marcel Metcalfe .. yes absolutely!
must be performed upon each start up as in order to meet epa requirements they could not allow the option to turn it off permanently
Yes but I advise to at least try it out first u might be surprised at how well it works in fords
With the press of a button. Very simple
No off-road action in this vid from Offr-oad.com????
Sadly, no.
This was at an event controlled by Ford, so we had a very limited time with the truck.
We will definitely be getting the 2018 F-150 back again for a future off-road test.
Nice looking truck and I'm excited about the new 5.0 :)
P.S. ecoboost good too but I like the large aftermarket for the 5.0 and I think it is one of the best sounding v8s out there
The 5.0 was changed for 2018.Now it is a oil burner. Google this issue.
When is the 5.0 ecoboost coming out? I can wait..... : )
I don't see how you can put a 5.0 in a full size truck. Kind of small
It's called a short block for a reason.

1966johnnywayne ..what the heck are ya talkin bout? this is a preproduction vehicle my man ..the 3 huge US truck plants that build all F-series are rolling out this new truck carefully an not up to full speed as of yet. Its all about quality control & precision manufacturing! Ford is lite yrs ahead of all others in design & technology that's no secret. U will be very happy w/ur new F150 as I think u alluded to getting new one.. as I am also! '18 F150 Lariat Crew Cab FX4 w/ 3.0 Powerstroke diesel / 10spd tranny plus heavy duty tow package.
All things considered, I prefer Ford over other manufacturers. It's kinda like choosing a political affiliation...which one can I tolerate and is going to drain my pocket the least! "Ford is lite yrs ahead of all others in design & technology"...fanaticism is going to blind you to all their faults much to your dismay.
1966johnnywayne ..lets not go overboard now Johnny Wayne. I'm telling like it is all truth w/a bit of "fun writing" thrown in. Nonetheless glad you enjoyed my replies. I wrote a couple scroll dwn to see...happy reading.. an reduce regrets in life I sometimes say...owning a new shiney F150 is great way to do that!! Go for it life is short #FordTrucks
1966johnnywayne ..very true! only Ford's here.
Y does he look like the kid from bad Santa
LR was sold by Ford to the Indians. That's Asian Indians not ethnic Americans. Not sure where the engines are coming from now? Just hope they are more reliable than the LR's.
Dartmoor Dave .. all Ford's *5* engine options come from Ford engine plants! designed/engineered/assembled by Ford including the new Powerstroke diesels! this is for max quality control and it shows. All engines class leading and most tech.
I wasn't concerned about the US Fords, I was just commenting that as the engines are Peugeot 4's and 6's in the Landrover range I was curious to see if they were to buy Ford diesels. Some of those in Europe are actually Peugeot lumps.
I'm in the process of buying a new truck. And Ford, Dodge and Chevy are doing a great job of changing my mind, and buying an older vehicle. QUIT CHANGING SHIT, And MAKE THEM TRUCKS . I Don't Give A SHIT ABOUT WIFI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still not that smart since they forgot to put a 360° camera specially for a full size truck.
Santa Joe ? What are you talking about?
Santa Joe ..its available sir. Ford was 1st to offer. you do your research right ? test drive?
And start/stop b.s. on all of them. No thanks.
Range rovers have the worst reliability now Ford is going to use one of their engines in the flagship brand. I am not a Psychic but I can see what is coming. Why did they not converse with IHC they have used their engines since the the early 90s 6.9 7.3 6.0 6.7 really these diesels have made the brand what it is today yeah 6.0 had crappy injectors and the 3 valve gassers had crappy plugs but still have a loyal following. I have a 2007 5.4 with 250k plugs every 40 k no problems cam phazers quiet 5k oil changes with pennsoil platinum 5w30 not 5w20 since 100k runs like new. Waiting untill 2021 to get a 2018 lease return for half price like i did with my 2007. And yea a 5.0 not an ecoscrap v sixes have no business under the hood of a truck.
Uh, Ford makes the diesel engine for Range Rover. It's Ford's engine.
First, the 2.7 ecoboost is a 4 cyl., not a 6 cyl. Second, unless your towing/ hauling everyday, the 5.0 is antiquated and a waste of money. Its still in the lineup for old timers who can't wrap their head around modern turbos. Yes, the turbos of the 80's and early 90's were garbage, but that was loooong ago. And lets be real, if you're towing and hauling on a regular basis, you should be looking at an F250/350 anyway. I went from a 2014 5.0 f150, and now have the 2017 2.7 liter. Its fast. It does just fine towing a boat. it gets great mpg for day to day driving. There's really no turbo lag. it took a lot for me to see a 4cyl as the way to go in a fullsize truck, but its the real deal. It turned the f150 into something very fun to drive. Don't believe me, go test drive one.
Jason T. ..Can't beat the newer F150 Ecoboost trucks! No need be defensive.. only a *fool* would think Ford Motor would bet the whole future of F-series on an incredible tech rich engine lineup if it wasn't "top notch" w/ monster power & durability! The Ecoboost V6 now represents over 60% of all new F150s sold. Amazing. The 3.5L & 2.7L.. are both V6s. The 2.7L is NOT a 4cyl as someone wrongly stated in these comments.
Jason T. ..sorry gotta correct ya again man! Ur def a true Ford truck guy like myself w/ur passion for these machines but to set record straight...the 5.0 V8 option .. same Coyote V8 now available in Mustang is far from antiquated as it was totally new design for 2011 MY. I think u were meaning to say.. its not the "wise modern choice" to get a V8 when these Ecoboost V6s are so powerful & rugged for their size. Just be sure to use top brand "full synthetic" motor oil in ur truck to protect the twin turbos and reduce heat & friction. Use the OEM Motorcraft oil filters & air filters for best protection! Most ppl I know are changing the oil at 5-6000k mis max! Forget the recommended 10k mis or 1yr.
6 cyl bro....
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The 2.7 is not a 4 cyl. You probably dont actually own one and are talking out of your ass.
Jacob Easton ..Whoa easy there cowboy.. the guy made a mistake & we all corrected him. Now, go out there an get ur NEW 2018 model refreshed, & 100% bad ass F-150 Platinum or Limited or King Ranch edition if U want be da man! Oh yea.
In my opinion the 302 5.0 L V8 is the only engine that belongs in a F-150 with a 5 spd manual transmission instead of this new automatic pieces of shit
Matt Sprayberry 1963 called. It wants its comment back.
Matt Sprayberry the problem with all of you manual purists is you guys don't buy new vehicles with manuals, you just bitch about it. The manual is going the way of the buffalo due to sales and advancements in automatic transmissions
Bouche Bantino
I'm not bitching about the auto trans I'm simply stating my my opinion about it
I hate to be the bearer of bad news,... but i do not want a truck that automatically stops for people and i will tell you why, because the criminals once they learn of this they will stop you steal your truck and do whatever they want with you.
Newton Washinton ...no cause for worries. keep doors locked ..well they lock automatically. trust ur F150 to keep ya safe an not let ya dwn. I do. owned 5 so far. best of best!🇺🇸
uhhh....if someone is forcing you to stop, the start stop does not matter.
I want an EV truck! Are you going to be beat by Tesla at your own game, Ford?
Too much $$$
I don't know why but I feel like the 2018 f-150s are gonna look more outdated than the 2017s
Meh..
$67,500 dollars are you kidding me. Pathetic.
Compete in years to come? More like get as much money as you can now before Chevy and Ram drop their new platforms. Seriously starting at $27k. That is just too much for a basic work truck. The MPG numbers are not great with all that aluminum and car engines. The looks also falloff a bit more from last year.
Although I do gripe that the base models are about 50% higher than they should be. The higher trim models are priced well. You would have to wonder why someone would opt for the Ford F150 XLT over the higher trim models when it is priced that high.
It is a little sad that Ford has not been able to match the MPG numbers of Ram yet despite Ram selling a 6k lbs 12 year old platform that they strapped a diesel to.
I dont like ford at all they have burnt me on 8 trucks and I will never own another but the 2.7L engine is impressive only thing is the 10 speed. Too many gears, I had a ram with a 10 speed it was changing too much but it does help with fuel mileage.
The front end looks like a RAM 1500 smh
kdog18ful ..haha no way!
kdog18ful are you blind?
La_Lobo_Negra ..nope. all I buy is Ford trucks! never let ya down. looks nothing like any RAM whatsoever. keep truckin!🇺🇸
If i buy a Ford I'll be found on road dead
haha....... a bit played out don't ya think? FCA is shit man sorry to burst your bubble.
Joe Blo ..haha I think was consumer reports or JD Power said more Ford trucks registered on rd w/200k + mis than any other brand by far! I do like GMC. just cannot deny the king of trucks Ford F-series!
Rodrigo Blanquet gmc stands for gays man car
Michael Doak good to know bro never knew about that one im a Toyota fan
Rodrigo Blanquet ..funny that's a new one! buy a new Ford truck and it will last 20yrs easy brotha! Can't go wrong. they are #1 every yr for a reason.
Could they have copied Toyota more?
sho942000 what are you talking about looks nothing like a Toyota I’m pretty sure Toyota copied Ford
La_Lobo_Negra ...everybody copies the leader! Ford F-series #1 selling 1/2 ton truck 40 YEARS STRAIGHT!
Ford ruined the front end
Joseph Foster agreed - I personally think they've been getting worse with each revision since 2014
oh booooohhooooooooo
foreignobject.. others beg to differ! must evolve and stay ahead all others. Ford does this. love gen2 3.5L Ecoboost mated to 10spd auto w/heavy duty tow package. A 2018 F150 Lariat crew cab Fx4 hopefully soon my daily driver & travel vehicle. plan put 300k+ mis on it ...easy. Pennzoil full synthetic oil and Motorcraft filters always. Changed 5kmis religiously..my other Ford trucks loved that schedule & never failed me ...ever.
I disagree. I think it got bettet
