I still don't understand all the negative talk about the aluminum body Ford pickup. In the trucking industry, we've had aluminum cab bodies for many decades now. Peterbilts were the only truck which featured all aluminum hoods, cabs, and sleepers. For a few years Kenworth trucks had aluminum cab bodies plus the optional aluminum frame chassis. Freightliner and International truck cabs are also exclusively aluminum and have been for a very long time now. People this is not new technology, 80% of all semi-trucks have aluminum bodies and 100% buses are all aluminum and have been for decades. I'm just glad it's finally trickling down to the automotive industry and with Ford as the industry leader, they naturally had to take the first step. Unlike stamped steel body panels that can be repaired in body shops after a crash, with aluminum you simply replace the damaged body panel and move on.
This was a seriously high quality honest review. I had all the same opinions about it and came home with a used loaded low-mile 2013 steel bodied FX4 SuperCrew 5.0L instead of the new EcoBoost XLT (for the same price). I have 4 turbo cars that make cooler noises naturally than the EcoBoost can. That EcoBoost laughs at everything in my driveway because it can out-tow all of it. Both engines win in very different ways. Everything you said about the entertainment system could not have been any more accurate. I'm struggling to like it in an acceptance kind of way. My '99 F-150 XL only has a 4-button AM/FM radio. Double-DIN, too. It could be worse. Just like in 1999, the new entertainment center is out-dated straight from the factory.
That pole sequence was hilarious :) Love your videos man, no other UA-camr can get me to watch a review of an F-150 or any other truck for that matter, but you managed to make it entertaining. Also, just gotta say, your production value is second to none with the music, graphics, and camera work.
Dude you do the most informative, professional and entertaining car reviews I''ve ever seen on youtube or TV. You deserve so many more subs and views on your videos, other channels just churn out trash and get way more than you. I hope you get to review the new Focus RS! What are the chances?
i own this an xlt. and this truck is amazing compared to any other. i rented a 15 ram and it is nice but just that just nice. ford hit a home run with this truck so all you haters either havent drove one or just biased to your brand. great review and by far the best truck built.
Anyone watching this more recently….the sync (infotainment system) can be easily swapped out with later model versions, up to sync 3.4 (carplay/android auto and a much snappier response). Do that and this truck is basically modern.
Got a king ranch last May and within 3 or 4 months the massaging feature in the front seats quit working. Also my MPG commuting is around 17 but I added a Peragon bed cover and boosted that up to around 18. Probably does better on the highway. Love the ride, the roof, the quality of the interior, and its a head turner. Overall I will likely own this truck for a long time.
Charles Norris seriously? are you comparing a vette to a GT? Does the silverado offer a panoramic roof or massaging seats? Lol even the GT350 offers a flatplane crank v8 and carbon fiber wheels.
redd7188 I can tell you have zero knowledge on cars and trucks.. do your research... when he drove the mustang in the rain he was about to spin out of control... the Vette is on the same level as a Ferrari....
Charles Norris seriously?? A Ford GT not a Mustang GT this is what I'm talking about www.caranddriver.com/features/2017-ford-gt-supercar-25-cars-worth-waiting-for-feature
redd7188 your knowledge is limited it's actually laughable.. you're something else... that ford gt is 400,000... the corvette z06 is 80,000.. the gt barely beat the corvette z06... you're speaking from your heart, not facts.. You just like Ford that's why you are defending it ... I love Chevrolet Silverado but I have enough sense to know that Toyota Tundra is better.. because it's a fact.. look on UA-cam and look at the z06 and GT, the gt barely beat it..
You have one of the most impressive videos ever. Seriously. Outstanding info, presented masterfully! I hesitated to even watch this review, just do to another truck review... Yea. As an 2012 Ford F-350 owner, which I am seriously impressed with... I applaud you on a seriously outstanding video presentation of the Ford F-150! All the best to you! Tim H.
I'm totally hooked on your reviews. top notch filming, oddly funny, very informative, and I love the way you stay as unbiased as you can be. I wish you could review my 2014 kia optima sxl turbo. great work and keep the videos coming!
My first truck was an XLT, my second truck is a 2016 Lariat, and my next truck I want a friggin King!! King Ranch has always been that truck I've been working up to!! There is no other truck that would change my mind except for a Raptor but thats only because I'll never be able to afford one LOL...Great vid man! Awesome truck!!
I just recently discovered your channel and it didn't take long for the subscribe button to be clicked. I really enjoy your reviews. You have a refreshing new way of doing them and the video/production quality great. I particularly like the Shoppe. Keep up the great work!
Great review. Not a truck fan but your production was fantastic and keeps getting better and better. Was worth it. All about being able to run right thru the back set area lol.
I wish he would stop with the manual shifting mode, I want to see how the truck's automatic transmission works. How many people are ever going to use the manual shifting anyway?
Its sad I had to finally get this review now...its the most honest and fun review I've ver seen. My only problem is the negativity toward the refinement capabilities and sound of the Eco Boost. It cant be easy to do what they did in this much time. That EB3.5 has been around since 09 but in trucks since 11. Ford has been listening to the whining since then...I doubt anyone with another similar application can do much better. It is what it is!!! Great review 10 out of 10!
Well Done Sir !! This guy knows how to talk and review a product with correct articular manner and a non-biased point of view throughout the entire video, something most people producing review videos completely ignore and/or miss !! I'm a fan !!
+Lew Scagnetti Thanks! Appreciate it, some of the earlier works could not strike that balance but there is big effort placed on this aspect. Glad you noticed.
I absolutely hate the Carbonboost in the F150 because you have two delays/surges of power. You have the first surge where you mash the pedal and the computer decides whether to open the throttle body 5 percent or 100 percent and then after it figures it's shit out you have the second surge of power from the turbo lag.
+1. Great truck analysis. Fords aluminum chassis/body bet was reasonably safe... using its 700,00 unit annual truck segment's economy of scale. Scott's reference to the HUGE cost of these upscale trucks didn't go unnoticed; What $55k to 75K for a cuss'in truck? Knock $10K off the Monroney Label and I'll get out to lock the front hubs like the old days. Trucks have come a long way baby ....... !
I am in the market for one of these trucks but only a 2018. Thank you.. between this review the raptor review and the 2018 f-150 video you made i have a lot more real information to work with. I'm a long time subscriber and enjoy your reviews and video content, just saying thanks
Ethan Coats If you don't need a truck, why would you buy them? They are huge, bad on gas, and expensive as fuck compared to cars. I bought my new Tacoma for twice what you could buy a loaded commuter car for.
It's interested hearing the speculation of future aluminum bodied Ford cars with the hindsight of them discontinuing all but the Mustang in North America.
I bought a 2016 Super Crew Sport 4x4 last summer. Traded in my '13 Stang which I had destroyed with mods. That's not easy to admit, but dayum if it didn't look cool.
Great video and review. The quality of you videos are amazing. The ford is nice but I would love to see you do a video on silverado high country for us Chevy truck guys. Keep those great videos coming.
Ford, this truck looks great, is lightweight, and fuel efficient (especially with the 2.7), please focus on making it RELIABLE, it would really seal the deal for me
Another great review! (Though its a truck) A cool thing about this truck is that the aluminum comes from Alcoa which is local to my area(Quad Cities). Also how loud were the messaging seats? I test drove a 2013 Ford Taurus SHO and the messaging seat were very loud and had this very step like feel to them(Would pump air in, stop, then pump air in a different spot).
Justin Kelly You would not hear the air blow off but definitely the inflators were noticeable. I liked them, turbowski did not. I did not even notice the noise with radio on.
savagegeese Yeah it wasn't really the blow off noise (If any) but the inflators were really loud and the motion was not very "linear" if you get what I mean...
The previous F150 seemed to emphasize comfort more than the current one. I just got a new F150 last week and the seats and head restraints seem thinner. Is that really the case?
Body of the F150 is aluminum but the bumpers are still steel. I'd rather replace a rusted bumper than rusted cab corners and floors and bed wheel arches!
Beware People. The new 2015 f150 are having premature warped dash issues. Many owners been having this problem including myself. And many of the trucks sitting on lots all over the country have warped dashes. Buyers beware. This is unacceptable for a brand new vehicle.
All his car reviews have a certain sad undertone. I like it.
+copyrat Its mostly sarcastic.
It's hard to tell whether you're being sarcastic or serious at times.
Because all new cars are laughable
copyrat Because it is sad to spend all that money
@@drainmonkeys385 you would spend it on what?
So, professional looking graphics, high definition video, awesome truck, and........dude in a corn T-shirt. Damn.
Who wears a corn shirt.....HE DOES! Lol! :-)
Subaru WRX fan giggles at 12:30.....made my day!
i missed that. Had to go back. Not as high pitched though
You're right. hahaha

it is not simple to replace truck bed panel, will cost thousands, compared to home bondo spray can fix of the dent or scratch on steel panel.
Aluminum is trash
@@rudystraight1750 tell that to airplanes
I am a Toyota person, but I still LOVE your reviews of all of the junk out there! Thanks!
I am so happy I found this channel
didn't think twice about the drone shots until I realized that this wasn't one of huge funded commercials. it really made this look movie grade

I will definitely be buying this bad boy to use for track days and as my canyon carver. Wut a beast!

Chances are high for RS. But will be a while. Thanks for the praise high efforts are put in to these projects glad you enjoy them.
God. I loved the 750lb impact ending on the 1/4 inch socket to tighten up that plastic bit. XD
i own this an xlt. and this truck is amazing compared to any other. i rented a 15 ram and it is nice but just that just nice. ford hit a home run with this truck so all you haters either havent drove one or just biased to your brand. great review and by far the best truck built.
southsidequeensnyc kr are beautiful trucks....but i have a 2500 silverado lml...the high country does not come close to kr's
This was hands down the best truck review video I've ever seen. Thank you for making such a high quality video.
Anyone watching this more recently….the sync (infotainment system) can be easily swapped out with later model versions, up to sync 3.4 (carplay/android auto and a much snappier response).
Do that and this truck is basically modern.
this guys real corny i tell you what
Htown7 Nothing better than a corn on the cob.
No more splitting my leg in half gettin' at the weiners?! I'm sold!
Got a king ranch last May and within 3 or 4 months the massaging feature in the front seats quit working.

Well it’s 7+ years later. Do you still own the truck????
Long wheelbase F150 ranch, how rare!
wow, what a start and what a review. Oscar...
1: your Total Recall shirt is outstanding.
2: nice review as usual.
3: new drone footage is lovely, and surprisingly smooth/stable
Ndogg550 1. See you at the party Richter. 2. Thanks. 3. This was our test for it will be using it for better stuff soon.
HA HA! Are you planning on autoX with the Windy City Miata club at all this year? Haven't bumped into you yet this year.
Ford is killing it right now.
From the F-150 to the Mustang GT350 to the Ford GT
Great job Ford
redd7188 please against a Corvette and a Silverado.. What you smoking on?
Charles Norris seriously? are you comparing a vette to a GT?
Does the silverado offer a panoramic roof or massaging seats?
Lol even the GT350 offers a flatplane crank v8 and carbon fiber wheels.

I remember watching this when it came out. Long term sub here!
You have one of the most impressive videos ever. Seriously.
Outstanding info, presented masterfully!

Thanks for the kind words, some cars and trucks make the work easier when they are actually good. Glad you enjoyed video.

Your T-shirt is killing me! I love your weirdness and your reviews, I always get a chuckle! Keep um coming!
Bro, keep the quality reviews coming. Don't become trash like other reviewers. Love your reviews
Dude. You just need one video that will get the ball rolling with subscribers. I can't wait until it happens
One of the most thorough reviews out there. Looking forward to more. Kicking myself for not subscribing sooner. Well done!

Great review. Not a truck fan but your production was fantastic and keeps getting better and better. Was worth it. All about being able to run right thru the back set area lol.
Great pole action!
LOL, love your reviews!
Certainly the best youtube reviews on vehicles I've seen.
Me: *See’s dude dance on step assistant pole*
Also me: *appreciates the energy, subscribes immediately*
not a fan of ford but what a damn good review. new favorite youtube car reviewer
Thanks appreciate that!
The production value of your videos are amazing. That being said, I couldn't care less about trucks.
The next 5 will be cars.
savagegeese We live in Houston and 25% of all trucks are sold in Texas. Thanks for taking the time to cover this segment so thoroughly.
3.28 into the video and I realise you're wearing a corn shirt. ROFL!
I like the review. This truck is just way too expensive! The price trajectory of pickup trucks is worse than the housing crisis of the mid 2000's.
or the price trajectory of the s2000s
DANCE POLE ... LMAO
I wish he would stop with the manual shifting mode, I want to see how the truck's automatic transmission works. How many people are ever going to use the manual shifting anyway?
That appliqué on the back, ugh just kills it for me.
Great work on the glamour shots for the intro!
SWWAGGOT There were so many shots from this that were of the truck then walked away and started filming other stuff.
This is the third F150 review I'm watching. Please don't tell me to go see a fourth one to get all the details
Keep up the awesome videos man. You have some of the highest quality production in the car review world. New subscriber here!
Detailing and stuff ! Glad you like we hope to continue to add more and improve.

oh, and thanks for making these awesome videos. - just found you 2 days ago and watched at least a dozen so far. love them!
+Lufgt Huron Damn thanks for watching so many, glad you are likimg them.
@@savagegeese you have no idea how good you are at reviewing cars
Ford originally planned a Cool Ranch version of the F150 but noticed many testers complained of a bad taste in their mouth after driving the truck.
Love the Reviews and interaction at the shop great to watch..looking for any Ram 1500 Reviews would love to hear their perspective
Man i got to say your videos are great quality stuff. Please continue these!
David Johnson Hopefully they continue to get better and please! Thanks
Motor Trend or Car and Driver should hire you immediately!
Hell yeah I'd love to pay $1,000 a month for a truck like this 🤣🤣🤣😂. What about the trailer I would'nt be able to afford anything else.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME REVIEW!

excellent review. Congratz!!!..question: does it skid too much? fishtail?..
Love that truck! Very nice video, and cool drone shots at the end :)

When it comes down to it, could you see dailying the F150? Even if you don't need a truck? Or would you still rather a car?
Ethan Coats If you don't need a truck, why would you buy them? They are huge, bad on gas, and expensive as fuck compared to cars. I bought my new Tacoma for twice what you could buy a loaded commuter car for.

Love the Johnny Cab T-shirt sir. We hope you enjoyed the ride!
***** Get your ass to Mars.

ha ha ha ha .....you think this is the real quade? It is!
It's interested hearing the speculation of future aluminum bodied Ford cars with the hindsight of them discontinuing all but the Mustang in North America.
I bought a 2016 Super Crew Sport 4x4 last summer. Traded in my '13 Stang which I had destroyed with mods. That's not easy to admit, but dayum if it didn't look cool.
fantastic review
I like how ur mechanic said he would buy a ford but his shirt is a Chevy peeing on a Ford lol
Great video and review. The quality of you videos are amazing. The ford is nice but I would love to see you do a video on silverado high country for us Chevy truck guys. Keep those great videos coming.
Great review,well thought out and balanced.
Very nice intro, and certainly different from your other vid intros - much like :)
I miss the old Castano leather they used in earlier years.
Ford, this truck looks great, is lightweight, and fuel efficient (especially with the 2.7), please focus on making it RELIABLE, it would really seal the deal for me
i love this truck i have the 04 version need to upgrade!!
Give me the old days, vinyl bench and no tailgate, just a truck.
Love the subaruwrxfan moment LOL
Another great review! (Though its a truck)
A cool thing about this truck is that the aluminum comes from Alcoa which is local to my area(Quad Cities). Also how loud were the messaging seats? I test drove a 2013 Ford Taurus SHO and the messaging seat were very loud and had this very step like feel to them(Would pump air in, stop, then pump air in a different spot).
Justin Kelly You would not hear the air blow off but definitely the inflators were noticeable. I liked them, turbowski did not. I did not even notice the noise with radio on.
savagegeese Yeah it wasn't really the blow off noise (If any) but the inflators were really loud and the motion was not very "linear" if you get what I mean...
can you do a review on ram 1500. love to see that too.
+Deejay Bishop We were supposed to have done a review on the Rebel but it got pulled from inventory. Will try and re-schedule for spring/summer.
+savagegeese agree - would really like to see the comparison.
can you do limited or laramie edition? really would like to see how the air suspension ride compare to other suv and vehicle.
Any update on the ram review?
Great review! I hope Ford comes across it
If he stands out in the sun, does the shirt start to pop? 😆😆😆
The previous F150 seemed to emphasize comfort more than the current one. I just got a new F150 last week and the seats and head restraints seem thinner. Is that really the case?
subaru_wrx_fan giggle wasn't annoying for once. lol
what's with the lack of paint on the drive components?
That v6 is surely in every Ford now
Body of the F150 is aluminum but the bumpers are still steel.
I'd rather replace a rusted bumper than rusted cab corners and floors and bed wheel arches!
Do a review on the cheapest base model F150 work truck.
I'll see if I can get the 2017 when it comes out.
Great review. Very detailed.
Wait, you're turning the volume knob when your'e trying to see the temp change. Can't blame SYNC for that
It's a good review, but...the editing. You were spinning the volume knob complaining the temp doesn't change fast.
Its both volume and HVAC basically everything has delay.
Wow.. the first vehicle I didn't hear Turbowski shit on!
Subie wrx giggle reference for the win
Beware People. The new 2015 f150 are having premature warped dash issues. Many owners been having this problem including myself. And many of the trucks sitting on lots all over the country have warped dashes. Buyers beware. This is unacceptable for a brand new vehicle.
