    It's kinda funny that they had to make a special tailgate to gain access to the bed to grab a cooler, or the chalk blocks for your trailer, BUT if FORD hadn't made the sides of the bed so tall one could reach in and grab those items out. I'm a Ford fan and traded in my 2002 for a 2023. I could reach into the bed on the 02 but not the 23.

    I just tried to build a new f-150 platinum. Sadly there is no V-8 option and you cannot get a max trailer package hybrid. Even worse the options for the truck were reduced significantly. I cannot get a platinum without it being black wheels and black out exterior. It forces me into a limited styled grey blue interior if I don’t want blacked out truck. No more work surface option…
    So I though maybe I’ll get the king ranch. But the options there are now reduced significantly. Towing capacity news reduced and the cost went up another $2000.
    Then we tailgate is pathetic. It’s not as nice as the Ram it tries to copy. But worse GM offers a far better tailgate.
    So, fewer options… ugly grills, lights, and a pathetic tailgate and it costs a hell of a lot more! What do you expect from a company that places WOKE ideology above truth and realities of the clientele who buy their trucks m

    I am very tempted to get this new pro access tailgate when I get my new truck later in 2024. But I'm torn, b/c there are some real advantages to that pull out step. I wish you could get that pull out step from the regular F150 pickup also a part of this new pro access tailgate. That would be great. It looks like there's room, so maybe it's a structure/strength thing. As for that new modular front bumper option with the winch capability on the Tremor, is that something I can decide not to get initially, but a year or two down the road swap out the initial bumper and add this modular one with the winch, a day two sort of decision?

    1:52 "In base F150"... sorry to say that the Powerboost does not appear to be available on the base model XL trucks, unlike the 2021-2023 trucks. They want to increase production of they hybrids but they're taking them away from the cheaper trucks. They've also made the tow mirrors unavailable on the hybrid trucks as well. So much for making good use of the most powerful powertrain outside of the Raptors.

    Dropping 3.3 liter is good for the customer? Not if they don't need anything more and don't want to pay for anything more.
    Power boost is hooked up to a travel trailer in video, yet they won't even let you get tow mirrors with a Powerboost drive train.
    Their "best in class" payload used to be 3300 lbs. He didn't say why they discontinued HDPP.
    Do like the Modular front end of the Tremor.

    Please ask Ford why we can’t get the Black package with the Atlas Blue or Darkened Bronze exteriors. Customers who want those colors without ugly chrome seem to be out of luck. It may seem trivial, but when we’re dropping $80k for a truck we should be able to get any color we want with the Black package. Chrome is ugly.

      I agree - anything you purchase at this point has down sides; my issue, which I'm free to express is that the price for these things is ridiculously over priced, the quality is marginal at best, and the value of the technology being added to justify the pricing is questionable. So I apologize but this stuff is frustrating if you are actually looking for value, features and reliability. I support Tim's channel, and I appreciate the work he is doing - but I do think there is value in reminding the reviewers and hopefully through their influence the manufacturers that we see them and the crap they are trying to sell us .. just my .02 and don't plan to get over it.
