I got over 10k off sticker by shopping on autotrader, called dealer and did 90% of everything over the phone. The dealer was 3.5 hours from my home. This gave me a long drive home to get to know the 2017 Crew 4wd 2.7 STX. Had it about a month and have to admit I have fallen in love. Hauling grandkids, they have tons of room, my wife loves the comfort the 2.7 has plenty get up go when you need it and I'm seeing better than 19 mpg around town, my brother in law gets about 15.6 out of his Silverado which is a very nice ride and he pretty heavy footed. Chevy, Ram and Toyota all build great trucks, but economy, comfort and real price this Ford was right for me, I wanted a full size truck after years and great service out of Tacomas there is just no comparing a full size to a small pickup. Riding down the road with son his 2 kids and 15 square bails of hay in the bed, windows down and Charlie Daniels playing on the radio, I knew that this Ford might not be everyone's cup of tea, but at that very moment never been a man more satisfied with a machine since ole Henry thought about attaching a box to back a model T. Take time to enjoy those great moments no matter what your driving or how young or old you are, 90% of the people in this world don't have any hope of being as Blessed as we Americans are!
it is a beautiful truck,I saw it on the road today for the 1st time and it caught my eye...I thought it would be affordable but it s above my range,great review though.
Test drove a 2016 super cab yesterday with a 2.7 . I don't think there is another truck that compares! Test drive one before you comment. You can feel how much lighter it is when you drive it and its like driving a sports car in feel. The 2.7 would be the perfect smartest choice. I've talked to three people with 2.7 super cab and they are getting 22mpg in town and 26mpg highway. Having said that I will be getting the 5.0 and adding headers because the 5.0 is a modifiers dream but out of the box the 2.7 is perfect. The 2.7 is faster out of the box I just want the 5.0 for the sound and familiar V8 feel. Having worked on HMMV's for over 20 years yes it would cost more to fix an aluminum panel but way harder to dent. You won't be seeing the new f150 all dinged up like an older truck. Aluminum has a more resilient nature. As for the Chevy Bed commercial if you realize what's going on they are making themselves transparent in a lot of ways just rino line the bed for less then $500 bucks and have a truck that makes the chevy look 20 years old!
My dad bought his 2008 XLT Supercrew 4x4 with chrome & tow package brand new in 2008 for $24k, and it's worth $17k today, 8 years later. In terms of pricing, it's all timing. Gas prices are low now, so not the best time to buy, and yeah I agree the MSRP on these trucks are a joke lately. I'm inclined to believe these big auto manufacturers are tied in with the cost of oil. Hybrids, eco diesels, eco boosts or big old school V8. They just turn a knob to fine tune based on market conditions.
Thanks for the detailed review. My husband is looking at this truck now and selling his 2013 F-150 XLT (with the 302a pkg.). I wonder if you could tell me what we would be giving up if we got the 2016 with the 301a pkg, since you mentioned they've upgraded the 201a. Thank you!
Thank's for watching ! The 301A package now offers the infotainment screen (not even available for 302A) in 2014 so that is an upgrade. You can also get the power sliding rear window (only available for 302A) previously, although remote start and heated seats are not available for 301A you have to go 302A
Thanks for your quick response! I still have his sticker from the 2013 and the 302 pkg.which included rear defroster, rear camera, power driver seat, XLT Plus pkg (not sure what that includes) and chrome pkg. He also wants the tailgate step, side bars, front console, chrome pkg. and sirius radio in his new truck. We'd appreciate your opinion based on what he is looking for so that we can get what we need for the best price. Thanks again for your help!!
When i went to purchase the truck. I wanted the new sport package model and they weren't offering the big discount on that model. The sticker was 57k and they only wanted to discount the truck $500.00...
+Sean Toma Yeah but a sticker of 57K for an XLT does not exist ... I sell them all day long and have never seen one higher then 52K.. and any dealer that is not discounting must be in a small ass town where there are no other dealers for hundreds of miles around.. $57K is even high for a Lariat..
+AutoVlog I thought it was 57k obviously i was mistaken.. I know it was 50+k. Which is still very expensive! Anyways nice chatting with you have a great day. Take Care...
Good review. I have 2014 platinum. Has everything that you could get at the time. The wheels on this unit would look incredible on my truck! On another note, I hate that ford took the strategy of NOT supporting an update to my sync 3 for my year of truck and older. Stupid move Ford.
I appreciate the effort, but the camera moving around in and out was making me nauseous. Slow it down, hold it in one spot for a min while you describe the feature....the steering wheel for example. Couldn't get through it to know if you showed the door jamb sticker with the payload and other data. If not that's something all truck reviews should do.
A loaded XLT would not be a great value at resale time. I would choose a higher trim level and lay off some of the options. My FX4 (a trim line in 2012) with leather drove off the lot for $37,000 and brought $29,500 at trade-in 3.75 years later. Some XLT's are rolling off lots in the mid 30's new, you are not going to recoup $15,000 of options at resale. Expecially on a $50,000 MSRP cloth-seated pickup. It will not be perceived by most buyers the same, fair or not.
+Bruno TaTa I understand what you are saying. However, times change and the trim levels have changed, bottom line is that you can now get an XLT that has more features then any FX4 could ever have back in 2012. The F150's hold their value pretty good across the board. Even though this XLT does not have leather it is now available in that trim level :)
+northlander The Ford dealer. That was Kelly Blue book on it. Low mileage. Super clean, always garaged. And when you compare it to a new leather/OEM Kicker subwoofer and amp upgrade installed, /sync/power slider/bedliner/cooled seats/heated seats/5.0 /20" wheels equipped FX4 that was over $45,000 out the door in the real world at the time, it was a steal. A lot of people didn't like the new styling either at the time. I always pay cash, but their payment would be $250 less a month. That's why.
+Bruno TaTa I just priced it at TrueCar and with $7500 off MSRP it works out to $49,500 (dealer fee, taxes, etc) for the Lariat equivalent of my 2012. (mid 501a package). So if the dealer turned my trade for $32,500 and pocketed $3,000 (no refurb needed, tires were new and upgraded) the buyer saved $16,000. That's about $300/month in payments on a 60 month loan. Prices have indeed risen on these trucks for given equipment levels as far as I can tell.
$50K for a Ford XLT? smh. Overpriced, even with the options you mentioned. (Not a knock against you as a Ford salesman, but against the greedy disconnected corporation). Thanks for the review.
50k for this truck with the same cloth seats as an xl, no moonroof, no bed liner... The pricing on these is absolutely insane. It's nice looking, but the price and value is a joke.
+CrazyFastRapper Chevy tied Ford in 5/6 categories in 2016 IIHS crash tests. Chevy was one grade behind in front crash tests. (Still an "acceptable" rating) Basically no difference. Nothing like the "dying" your comment inaccurately implies.
Jon Posch Let me reword it for you then. lelelele im driving in my brand new chevy truck....oh god why can't i turn im going 70 (MILES) on the highway oh god. BOOM! Also Chevy got a M for crash test on one variant and A on the other. ford got G on both.
Hey man I know this videos old but do you have any advice for me trying to get a 2015-2016 f150 xlt just like this for cheaper price? I have a 2008 f150 lariat with 150,000 miles and they’re only offering me 6500 for it as a trade in
I wish they would offer better seat upholstery on the XLT. The Dodge Ram Sport has really nice vinyl and cloth seat combo. The Sierra All Terrain has leather trimmed with cloth inserts (kinda like the Ram Sport). Ram 1500 Sport I can get for $40k, a Sierra All Terrain is about $48k, to get some better seats on the F150 you have to step up to the lariat at $54k. (Canadian Prices) On the previous gen F150 FX4 was a separate trim (kinda like the Ram Sport) and you can option leather seats.
I just got my XLT w 5 liter and I love it...Its way over priced at 42gs sticker price but I got 9Gs off that price so the pain was less..All trucks today are a ripoff,Ford tops the list of over priced working mans vehicles
The cloth seats on these trucks are made of slick shiny fabric, about like the base truck 15 yrs ago. My 99 F-150 had a soft classy velour interior, with cloth on the doors and carpet kick panels on the doors, instead of just hard plastic. Also it's to bad Ford isn't focusing on improving there V8 engines, instead of pushing their turbo V6's that are expensive and have questionable reliability and longevity. F-150's do have a strong STEEL front suspension, unlike the GM and Ram 1/2 ton's Aluminum front suspension's
+ron mortensen The fabric is made from Reprieve, a company that uses recycled materials for durable fabric in vehicles and industrial applications. Also, the new 5.0L V8 in the F150 was redesigned, and now has 20 more hp and a more broad torque curve from the 2014 model.
+Chainheart Machine It's great that the seats are durable we all want that, but with today's technology they could look and feel more like a velour, something soft and inviting. The 5.0L V8 seems like a good engine, but they should also offer the 6.2L. Off the subject a little, Ford only offers the 3.5L Turbo in the Expedition. As the owner of a Turbo vehicle, I wouldn't buy another one.
ron mortensen Yea I know what you mean, I had an '84 T-bird with velour seats and soft cushion, super comfortable, it was like a high quality mattress. I think the leather seats in the Lariat and up feels nicer but for a truck I personally prefer something durable, I use the cab for cargo and I have kids.
+jldude84 Glad you commented. The new 5.0L Coyote engine is promising, but Ford pulled the 6.2L,V8 engine from the F150 almost immediately, leaving only one V8 surrounded by a N/A V6, and two Turbo V6's. My point is that Ford has two good N/A V8's, which should be continually improved for durability and better MPG, and be available as options for all F150's, as well as the Expedition, which only has the 3.5L V6 Turbo.
Nice truck. Not that I'm trying to start a Ford vs. Chevy debate or anything, I'm a pretty objective person, this costs more than an equivalent Chevy Silverado Z71 LT package and I think the Chevy has a few more features, like remote start, trailer package, no slam tail gate. As far as personal opinion, think the radio, entrainment system in the Chevy has a better look than the blocky widows 95 look.
I purchased a 2016 F150 with many quirks. There are five things that are the most annoying. First, they implemented a window jamming feature and when doing an automatic raising of the windows especially at highway speed it will falsely detect and go half the way down. I think I may activate the lemon law and have them purchase my vehicle back because they cannot FIX it. Very bad when it is raining! It also acts up when going down a gravel road even at 35 mph. Second, there is the activation of recycle air when selecting air conditioning. I purchased a used 2013 C-Max that stunk from body odor because of this feature. The F150 (also the 2016 Escape) does this also. Having to look and hit the recycle to turn it off is distracting and I feel contributes to eyes taken away from driving. Third, the fog lights are totally useless (also on C-Max and Escape) and only reduce road view when on due to excess light near the vehicle. Fourth, the review mirror does not dim and even day time running lights are annoying behind you. Fifth, the other most annoying thing is that when you shut off the vehicle it does not remember your previous settings and you have to reset then constantly upon starting it. Oh, I forgot the cruise control buttons you have to look at them to cancel, the C-Max and Escape (2016 and not the 2017) had far better buttons with the resume/cancel on the lever below. so I guess there are Six.
Sounds more to me like you bought a vehicle that you didn't test out enough before purchasing. None of those even remotely qualify it for a lemon buy-back. If the window doesn't go all the way back at the touch of a button, go old school and hold the button down that extra 3 seconds. What do you mean it "acts up" on gravel roads? AC recycling air, isn't there a button to de-activate that (regardless, if it's a standard feature you bought the vehicle with that, not their fault). Fog lights are to help break up fog and improve vision in those situations, not day to day clear condition driving. What settings does it forget? Unless it's got a battery issue or short where you have to reset the radio stations, no issue there that could possibly warrant a lemon buy-back.
That is the problem, when you activate the automatic up you cannot stop what it does. So you have to wait until it gets half way down and then carefully hold it without activating the auto up. Every other electronic device I have come back to the same state as when I left it when I turn it on. Recycle should act the same, i.e. poor design. There are more things I don't like on the GM and Dodge trucks so maybe I should look at non US vehicles.
This is not a "What's new" video. I have a 2015 XLT and came here to see what's new based on the title. It's really just a dizzying videoed tour of the 2016 model. The only new thing I saw besides the newer version of SYNC is the trailer backup assist which sounds pretty cool if it works.
The key to keeping them affordable is laying off the options. The "nice to have" things are what depreciate badly. The guts of the machine is what brings value down the line when some guy w/o a huge budget wants to buy a reliable used truck. Heck, Dodge will sell you a 4x4 crew cab 1500 Express equipped to work and tow (5.7, trailer brake controller, hitch,20's, bedliner) for about $30,000 fairly well equipped at the right time of year. Plus taxes and fees. I'm sure has a similar truck priced not too much more than that. But by all means if you want a country Cadillac (I had one) enjoy. Just get your checkbook out.
Awesome review! Keep up the good videos. Just subscribed. I also post auto reviews; feel free to check 'em out if you have the time! Also, feel free to subscribe if you like my content!
@@juanarevalo8791 you say you wouldn't buy one again then you had a 5.4?.. I have a 5.4 and I want a new 5.0 just because they have little to no problems
The Silverado and Sierra are the same truck with different badges and combined out sold the F150 by almost 35K units in 2015. Plus they are better built. Just look at the head to head frame strength test that was done. The Super duties bed was destroyed
Paul Fargason If I was a Chevy tard, I would feel the need to justify my purchase like you did. Nothing wrong with liking the best. Enjoy always being #2
just saying. every vehicle base model and up should come with a touch screen radio. my company just purchased the base model f150 and the radio is soo cheap looking.
The trailer back up assist is the silliest thing ever! If you can't back up a trailer with the steering wheel, you shouldn't be pulling a trailer. Same with the parking assist. If you can't park a car by yourself, you shouldn't be driving....
+Patrick Connolly So true, it's change and shouldn't be feared. They say the same about lane departure tech, night vision assist ect. this was the same thing many said when Automatics b/c standard. I would rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.
+ANonPaidAttorneySpokesperson To each heir own. But look at it this way. The more tech you have doing the driving for you, the less you pay attention....it is kinda scarey how reliant on tech people have gotten.
Adrokk That's why they are pushing self driving vehicles. It's about convenience and control, these technologies make life easier in someways, but as you say they can and I believe will be the downfall of many. Think Jeep Hack. I am about to purchase a New Ford F150 and if this feature comes with it I will use it as a novelty, but I have some who can back up manually but b/c of age may need it.
+Adrokk well thats alittle unfair to say. not many people back up a trailer on a daily basis. ive backed up many trailers in my lifetime, but there are many many months in between each time, so it takes alittle getting use to when you do it the next time. and the parking assist is for parallel parking and the majority of people in the country have never experienced a area where they would need to do that. so if you go out of town and go somewhere that has street parking and you have to parallel park, if your truck was sitting there and someone who has never done it before had to, which would you rather have, someone trying it for the first time and hitting your vehicle, or the parking assist that does it for them without hurting your vehicle, theres only one obvious answer to that
Give me an Ecoboost V8 and I'll consider giving up my 5.4. I'm a die hard Ford guy, owning 4 of them at the moment and countless over the years, but Ford seems to be losing sight of one thing. People around the world all talk about the 'American V8.' If we all go 4 and 6 cylinder, and eliminate the V8, it gets rid of what makes American brands iconic.......and sound better than others, only to become a 'me too' brand. Mileage differences in a v6 or v8 of the same engine technology are negligible. Make an Ecoboost V8, keep the heritage, get mileage and proudly let the engine roar.
+AutoVlog Yeah. I test drove one. I'm more irritated at the fact that they seem to be trying to phase the V8 out after seeing the GT and Raptor. They're pushing the Ecoboost really hard. I'm impressed with the technology and power, but I think it is a mistake to abandon the iconic, American V8.
Obviously people still don't get that they say the MSRP ! That's not what you'll pay! Look around on the Internet and you'll find the dealers that deal, and take like 10k off. I see it all the time!!
+Bill Dingo Right, at the end of 2015 I picked up an xlt with the 302A package and some extras. the high price was $47+k. The negotiated price (after a few weeks) was $36k before trade in. Nov. Dec. the prices you can get drop dramatically if you can still find the one you want.
Sorry quality isn't job one Ford!!! When you decide to fix the many issues that you have ignored since 2004 I might consider but it's highly unlikely the competition looks alot better especially Ram.
I am not a fan of firing up a vehicle by pushing a button, I think this is the stupidest technology ever. So, my question is if I want to use a key to power up this vehicle would that be possible? In other words, is it like an optional thing that I can order?
Got the 2016 4x4 supercrew. It runs circles around dodge and Chevy. 3.5l ecoboost 365 hp. Plus ford doesn't take people's tax money from the government like some welfare moocher. Chevy should have been bankrupt 4 yrs ago. But I guess when they can get money out of yalls paycheck a to cover ass it's ok
+sortac08 Of course, anyone that thinks they are actually paying 50K for it is severely confused. The incentives and discounts brings the price down drastically
Went to go one last week till i seen the price 50k+ for a truck!? Come on FORD your still a truck with average fit & finish and full of plastic inside the cabin. I belaeve my 2010 FX2 was a better truck at the time and i paid 36K out the door.
love my 2016 F-150 Lariat. no complaints. A beautiful hard working truck on the ranch.
I got over 10k off sticker by shopping on autotrader, called dealer and did 90% of everything over the phone. The dealer was 3.5 hours from my home.

Well said.
Very true and well spoken..
2016 XLT 302 A... here
From a Tacoma to XLT..
WHOA..I love driving it..
Bought one will all the bells and whistles used. Best truck I've owned.
I like this year of truck 15 and 16. the way it looks to the aluminum body badass f150 Ford rock's
My engine blew in a 2004 Mercury Sable! I'm still paying a note on it! I'm shooting for a 2016 F-150!!!
Quick Dubbs you been paying for that mercury for years? 2004 - to 2016 lol 😂... you paying $50 a month?
🥱😂😂 loser
This truck is absolutely outstanding love everything about it great job FORD
I like this review. Probably the best I've found for a 2016. Been looking to get a 2016 F150 4x4 with the 5.0l and the 302A package
it is a beautiful truck,I saw it on the road today for the 1st time and it caught my eye...I thought it would be affordable but it s above my range,great review though.

Braggers urk me."I love my 2017 all wheel drive v8 black with 22 alloy inch rims small trim ford f150. Still going strong today!"
do you still have this truck have you had any major problems with it im loking at a 2016 5.0 lariat with 33.000 kl
50K for a 301 package with cloths seats!? F- that. Great review tho.
+hippo potamus Thanks man !
what's wrong with cloth?
+Devin Lowe Nothing, but one would expect more for a 50K vehicle.
+hippo potamus gotcha
+hippo potamus One must wait to buy when the good incentives and 0% interest. I think right now it's 9000. to 10000 off sticker.
The truck exterior is as nice as they come. Well done. The interiors on these trucks have always been a step behind both Chev and now Dodge.
My dad bought his 2008 XLT Supercrew 4x4 with chrome & tow package brand new in 2008 for $24k, and it's worth $17k today, 8 years later. In terms of pricing, it's all timing.

They just turn a knob to fine tune based on market conditions.
I really like the exterior looks badass
On the capless fuel filler, I get a check engine light constantly for it on my 2010 fusion lol
+Zach Travers Wow, thats a first ive heard of that
I guess it's a common issue with the 2010-2012 Fusions. I wish I could get the updated version of the EZ fuel
Look at you all dressed up! Slick.
Going shopping for this truck this weekend but I'm not planning to spend 50k lol
Thanks for the detailed review. My husband is looking at this truck now and selling his 2013 F-150 XLT (with the 302a pkg.). I wonder if you could tell me what we would be giving up if we got the 2016 with the 301a pkg, since you mentioned they've upgraded the 201a. Thank you!

Thanks for your quick response! I still have his sticker from the 2013 and the 302 pkg.which included rear defroster, rear camera, power driver seat, XLT Plus pkg (not sure what that includes) and chrome pkg.

We'd appreciate your opinion based on what he is looking for so that we can get what we need for the best price. Thanks again for your help!!
AutoVlog u
What's the difference between the 2015 and 2016 escape? Maybe do a review?
+thewombatter1 I have reviews of the 2016 Escape where I go over whats new for 2016 :)
ua-cam.com/video/1sQd9otAT4M/v-deo.html
The Best Bang for your money right now is the Ram 1500 big horn package with the 5.7 Hemi
+northlander I didn't say anything about crashing. I was talking value
Most 2016s don’t have a fan at the back, my f-150 doesn’t have then, only Sync 1 and all of them that is in the video.
When i went to purchase the truck. I wanted the new sport package model and they weren't offering the big discount on that model. The sticker was 57k and they only wanted to discount the truck $500.00...
+Sean Toma What ?? was that a lariat ? I have never seen an XLT with that sticker.. anyone who would buy one with a sticker of 57K is an idiot
+AutoVlog You right!! Anyways ill just wait tell they discount the truck. In the past i usually get 12-14k off of sticker..
+Sean Toma Yeah but a sticker of 57K for an XLT does not exist ... I sell them all day long and have never seen one higher then 52K.. and any dealer that is not discounting must be in a small ass town where there are no other dealers for hundreds of miles around.. $57K is even high for a Lariat..
+AutoVlog I thought it was 57k obviously i was mistaken.. I know it was 50+k. Which is still very expensive! Anyways nice chatting with you have a great day. Take Care...
there is no way that pricing is correct. my 15 king ranch fx4 was 58k$.
Excellent and informative review. Thanks.
+jodyvideo603 Thanks for watching !
great video!!!!love the truck but I'd would have a hard time paying 50k for a truck without leather seats....
You look like Jason Statham. Great videos by the way
+Golden Kicks Thanks ! and thank you for watching :)
@6:00 That's true, never thought of that.
lmao sleeping in the back of the truck instead of on the bed... lol
Good review. I have 2014 platinum. Has everything that you could get at the time. The wheels on this unit would look incredible on my truck! On another note, I hate that ford took the strategy of NOT supporting an update to my sync 3 for my year of truck and older. Stupid move Ford.
Thing of beauty
Is premium gasoline a requirement for these turbo type engines?
i want to see a regular cab review
I appreciate the effort, but the camera moving around in and out was making me nauseous. Slow it down, hold it in one spot for a min while you describe the feature....the steering wheel for example. Couldn't get through it to know if you showed the door jamb sticker with the payload and other data. If not that's something all truck reviews should do.

+northlander The Ford dealer. That was Kelly Blue book on it. Low mileage. Super clean, always garaged. And when you compare it to a new leather/OEM Kicker subwoofer and amp upgrade installed, /sync/power slider/bedliner/cooled seats/heated seats/5.0 /20" wheels equipped FX4 that was over $45,000 out the door in the real world at the time, it was a steal. A lot of people didn't like the new styling either at the time. I always pay cash, but their payment would be $250 less a month. That's why.
+Bruno TaTa I just priced it at TrueCar and with $7500 off MSRP it works out to $49,500 (dealer fee, taxes, etc) for the Lariat equivalent of my 2012. (mid 501a package). So if the dealer turned my trade for $32,500 and pocketed $3,000 (no refurb needed, tires were new and upgraded) the buyer saved $16,000. That's about $300/month in payments on a 60 month loan. Prices have indeed risen on these trucks for given equipment levels as far as I can tell.
$50K for a Ford XLT? smh. Overpriced, even with the options you mentioned. (Not a knock against you as a Ford salesman, but against the greedy disconnected corporation). Thanks for the review.
+crazydine2 Thanks for watching !
This truck is 4 me!
can you get black cloth interior instead of ugly grey? in the same model console with shifter on the wheel
+Travis Clarke If you get the Sport package you get black cloth but with a console shifter
50k for this truck with the same cloth seats as an xl, no moonroof, no bed liner... The pricing on these is absolutely insane. It's nice looking, but the price and value is a joke.
+Jon Posch you can probably get it for about 40k or less the rebates and incentives are crazy on trucks.. Also not everyone likes leather
+Jon Posch Welcome to Ford, now back to Chevy
+ShowMe TheSugarWalls i'll have cloth seats over dying in a chevy
+CrazyFastRapper Chevy tied Ford in 5/6 categories in 2016 IIHS crash tests. Chevy was one grade behind in front crash tests. (Still an "acceptable" rating) Basically no difference. Nothing like the "dying" your comment inaccurately implies.
Jon Posch Let me reword it for you then.
lelelele im driving in my brand new chevy truck....oh god why can't i turn im going 70 (MILES) on the highway oh god. BOOM!
Also Chevy got a M for crash test on one variant and A on the other. ford got G on both.
Why would they not make the 2015 sync up-gradable to sync 3?
+cjhan47 Because it came out for 2016..
Hi good night? is the ecoboost v6 better than the 5.0 v8? Did you drive booth?
That is a matter of opinion, yes I own the V8 but the EcoBoost is great as well
Hey man I know this videos old but do you have any advice for me trying to get a 2015-2016 f150 xlt just like this for cheaper price? I have a 2008 f150 lariat with 150,000 miles and they’re only offering me 6500 for it as a trade in
Any update? Did you get one? I have a 05 F150 Lariat 4x4 with 142k miles I'd like to use for trade
where is the parking brake, is it electric?
I wish they would offer better seat upholstery on the XLT. The Dodge Ram Sport has really nice vinyl and cloth seat combo. The Sierra All Terrain has leather trimmed with cloth inserts (kinda like the Ram Sport). Ram 1500 Sport I can get for $40k, a Sierra All Terrain is about $48k, to get some better seats on the F150 you have to step up to the lariat at $54k. (Canadian Prices)
On the previous gen F150 FX4 was a separate trim (kinda like the Ram Sport) and you can option leather seats.
its 50,000 because you pay 20,000 for the government it only cost about 25k for the truck itself
Just buy it used people. You'll get a 2-3 years old fully equipped XLT 4x4 for less than $30k. These trucks depreciate like modafukas.
What can this tow though?
Nice review
great review and education.
Thanks !
Is there any versions with a medium or long bed?
+Gustavo Villalobos Whats a medium bed ? the beds come in 5.5 ft, 6.5 ft and 8 ft
I just got my XLT w 5 liter and I love it...Its way over priced at 42gs sticker price but I got 9Gs off that price so the pain was less..All trucks today are a ripoff,Ford tops the list of over priced working mans vehicles
The cloth seats on these trucks are made of slick shiny fabric, about like the base truck 15 yrs ago. My 99 F-150 had a soft classy velour interior, with cloth on the doors and carpet kick panels on the doors, instead of just hard plastic. Also it's to bad Ford isn't focusing on improving there V8 engines, instead of pushing their turbo V6's that are expensive and have questionable reliability and longevity. F-150's do have a strong STEEL front suspension, unlike the GM and Ram 1/2 ton's Aluminum front suspension's
+ron mortensen The fabric is made from Reprieve, a company that uses recycled materials for durable fabric in vehicles and industrial applications. Also, the new 5.0L V8 in the F150 was redesigned, and now has 20 more hp and a more broad torque curve from the 2014 model.
+Chainheart Machine It's great that the seats are durable we all want that, but with today's technology they could look and feel more like a velour, something soft and inviting. The 5.0L V8 seems like a good engine, but they should also offer the 6.2L. Off the subject a little, Ford only offers the 3.5L Turbo in the Expedition. As the owner of a Turbo vehicle, I wouldn't buy another one.
ron mortensen Yea I know what you mean, I had an '84 T-bird with velour seats and soft cushion, super comfortable, it was like a high quality mattress. I think the leather seats in the Lariat and up feels nicer but for a truck I personally prefer something durable, I use the cab for cargo and I have kids.
+jldude84 Glad you commented. The new 5.0L Coyote engine is promising, but Ford pulled the 6.2L,V8 engine from the F150 almost immediately, leaving only one V8 surrounded by a N/A V6, and two Turbo V6's.
My point is that Ford has two good N/A V8's, which should be continually improved for durability and better MPG, and be available as options for all F150's, as well as the Expedition, which only has the 3.5L V6 Turbo.
Nice review but 50K for a truck with cloth seats and no 4A (permanent AWD).
The vast majority of truck owners don't want AWD. 2wd is great for 90% of situations and saves fuel compared to 4x4 or AWD.
AWD = higher fuel consumption
How you open the cardo door???
Nice truck. Not that I'm trying to start a Ford vs. Chevy debate or anything, I'm a pretty objective person, this costs more than an equivalent Chevy Silverado Z71 LT package and I think the Chevy has a few more features, like remote start, trailer package, no slam tail gate. As far as personal opinion, think the radio, entrainment system in the Chevy has a better look than the blocky widows 95 look.
I hate meeting one in incoming traffic at night with those blinding headlights. Led and halogen
I purchased a 2016 F150 with many quirks. There are five things that are the most annoying. First, they implemented a window jamming feature and when doing an automatic raising of the windows especially at highway speed it will falsely detect and go half the way down. I think I may activate the lemon law and have them purchase my vehicle back because they cannot FIX it. Very bad when it is raining! It also acts up when going down a gravel road even at 35 mph. Second, there is the activation of recycle air when selecting air conditioning. I purchased a used 2013 C-Max that stunk from body odor because of this feature. The F150 (also the 2016 Escape) does this also. Having to look and hit the recycle to turn it off is distracting and I feel contributes to eyes taken away from driving. Third, the fog lights are totally useless (also on C-Max and Escape) and only reduce road view when on due to excess light near the vehicle. Fourth, the review mirror does not dim and even day time running lights are annoying behind you. Fifth, the other most annoying thing is that when you shut off the vehicle it does not remember your previous settings and you have to reset then constantly upon starting it. Oh, I forgot the cruise control buttons you have to look at them to cancel, the C-Max and Escape (2016 and not the 2017) had far better buttons with the resume/cancel on the lever below. so I guess there are Six.
Sounds more to me like you bought a vehicle that you didn't test out enough before purchasing.
None of those even remotely qualify it for a lemon buy-back. If the window doesn't go all the way back at the touch of a button, go old school and hold the button down that extra 3 seconds. What do you mean it "acts up" on gravel roads? AC recycling air, isn't there a button to de-activate that (regardless, if it's a standard feature you bought the vehicle with that, not their fault). Fog lights are to help break up fog and improve vision in those situations, not day to day clear condition driving. What settings does it forget? Unless it's got a battery issue or short where you have to reset the radio stations, no issue there that could possibly warrant a lemon buy-back.
That is the problem, when you activate the automatic up you cannot stop what it does. So you have to wait until it gets half way down and then carefully hold it without activating the auto up. Every other electronic device I have come back to the same state as when I left it when I turn it on. Recycle should act the same, i.e. poor design. There are more things I don't like on the GM and Dodge trucks so maybe I should look at non US vehicles.
Ken Bloom, i love my Tundra and my older Tacoma
what camera model used to record this?
This is not a "What's new" video. I have a 2015 XLT and came here to see what's new based on the title. It's really just a dizzying videoed tour of the 2016 model. The only new thing I saw besides the newer version of SYNC is the trailer backup assist which sounds pretty cool if it works.
Oh yeah!
The key to keeping them affordable is laying off the options. The "nice to have" things are what depreciate badly. The guts of the machine is what brings value down the line when some guy w/o a huge budget wants to buy a reliable used truck. Heck, Dodge will sell you a 4x4 crew cab 1500 Express equipped to work and tow (5.7, trailer brake controller, hitch,20's, bedliner) for about $30,000 fairly well equipped at the right time of year. Plus taxes and fees. I'm sure has a similar truck priced not too much more than that. But by all means if you want a country Cadillac (I had one) enjoy. Just get your checkbook out.
What’s the 302a pkg
I'll take my 50k somewhere else. Brand loyalty kind of went out the window when I saw an LTZ(fully loaded) Z71 for practically the same price.
Infotainment system look dated along with steering wheel cluster, interior is not attractive at all. Good review.
39 yrs straight BTW.
Did you not even spend 1 minute in the engine bay?? Why not?
Awesome review! Keep up the good videos. Just subscribed. I also post auto reviews; feel free to check 'em out if you have the time! Also, feel free to subscribe if you like my content!
+© Maxxtruck9906 Thanks man! I will definitely check your channel out !
v6 only?
can you review a corvette stingray
+kevin z If I get my hands on one, yes :)
I have the 2015 F150 XLT Sport 4x4 2.7 only thing I don't like is the terrible gas mileage! No where near the lying EPA numbers!!!
the ford is miles ahead of Chevrolet dodge and Toyota
@@juanarevalo8791 you say you wouldn't buy one again then you had a 5.4?.. I have a 5.4 and I want a new 5.0 just because they have little to no problems
Those aren't polished aluminum wheels. They are actually called PVD wheels. I work for a company that makes those wheels.
Does he come with the truck?! 😝
ya he dose
The Silverado and Sierra are the same truck with different badges and combined out sold the F150 by almost 35K units in 2015. Plus they are better built. Just look at the head to head frame strength test that was done. The Super duties bed was destroyed
+Daniel Bell If I was a Ford fanboy I would be mad too
Paul Fargason If I was a Chevy tard, I would feel the need to justify my purchase like you did. Nothing wrong with liking the best. Enjoy always being #2
+Daniel Bell Lmao Strike a nerve? Sorry to tell you but I don't owe a Chevy. Just stating facts that fanboys like u hate hearing
Paul Fargason Opinion, not fact
+Daniel Bell Many tests have been done to prove that it is a fact. Feel free to check
50,000 I would expect a lot more options or a bunch of huge discounts!!!!
+Nicholas Wheeler I got the 15 version of this truck 2 weeks ago huge discounts if you just wait. something like 15k off
+cjhan47 getting one next year hoping to get a sport package with fx4 for 36000
My dad customized the truck in the order menu and it only cost him.... About $58 643 and ofcource I think $275 monthly payment
just saying. every vehicle base model and up should come with a touch screen radio. my company just purchased the base model f150 and the radio is soo cheap looking.
One word: Crutchfield.
The trailer back up assist is the silliest thing ever! If you can't back up a trailer with the steering wheel, you shouldn't be pulling a trailer. Same with the parking assist. If you can't park a car by yourself, you shouldn't be driving....
+Adrokk I can do both but I still welcome the tech and feature!
+Patrick Connolly So true, it's change and shouldn't be feared. They say the same about lane departure tech, night vision assist ect. this was the same thing many said when Automatics b/c standard. I would rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.
+ANonPaidAttorneySpokesperson To each heir own. But look at it this way. The more tech you have doing the driving for you, the less you pay attention....it is kinda scarey how reliant on tech people have gotten.
Adrokk
That's why they are pushing self driving vehicles. It's about convenience and control, these technologies make life easier in someways, but as you say they can and I believe will be the downfall of many. Think Jeep Hack. I am about to purchase a New Ford F150 and if this feature comes with it I will use it as a novelty, but I have some who can back up manually but b/c of age may need it.
+Adrokk well thats alittle unfair to say. not many people back up a trailer on a daily basis. ive backed up many trailers in my lifetime, but there are many many months in between each time, so it takes alittle getting use to when you do it the next time. and the parking assist is for parallel parking and the majority of people in the country have never experienced a area where they would need to do that. so if you go out of town and go somewhere that has street parking and you have to parallel park, if your truck was sitting there and someone who has never done it before had to, which would you rather have, someone trying it for the first time and hitting your vehicle, or the parking assist that does it for them without hurting your vehicle, theres only one obvious answer to that
nice job thanks
+jim giordano You're welcome !
Give me an Ecoboost V8 and I'll consider giving up my 5.4. I'm a die hard Ford guy, owning 4 of them at the moment and countless over the years, but Ford seems to be losing sight of one thing. People around the world all talk about the 'American V8.' If we all go 4 and 6 cylinder, and eliminate the V8, it gets rid of what makes American brands iconic.......and sound better than others, only to become a 'me too' brand. Mileage differences in a v6 or v8 of the same engine technology are negligible. Make an Ecoboost V8, keep the heritage, get mileage and proudly let the engine roar.
+rinos88 You know that there is the 5.0 V8 right..?
+AutoVlog Yeah. I test drove one. I'm more irritated at the fact that they seem to be trying to phase the V8 out after seeing the GT and Raptor. They're pushing the Ecoboost really hard. I'm impressed with the technology and power, but I think it is a mistake to abandon the iconic, American V8.
dang the ram, silverado, and sierra look 10x better. im a ford guy but dang this truck does not impress me at at all the sierra looks really good.
Killer truck
For 50k it should be smothered in leather just for starters. Good luck getting that money...
Obviously people still don't get that they say the MSRP ! That's not what you'll pay! Look around on the Internet and you'll find the dealers that deal, and take like 10k off. I see it all the time!!
+Bill Dingo
Right, at the end of 2015 I picked up an xlt with the 302A package and some extras. the high price was $47+k. The negotiated price (after a few weeks) was $36k before trade in. Nov. Dec. the prices you can get drop dramatically if you can still find the one you want.
+Brian Waller get a job...
+Brian Waller people who need the truck for work like myself look at it differently ...
Sorry but maybe you should think of doing another line of trolling
+Anthony Macneil Goddamn, you are one sorry piece of shit.
Cursing God and a fellow human in one sentence. I suspect that you can do better than that.
and 3/4 end up on the used delership
Sorry quality isn't job one Ford!!! When you decide to fix the many issues that you have ignored since 2004 I might consider but it's highly unlikely the competition looks alot better especially Ram.
+Anthony Macneil Go troll somewhere else.
You look like Martyn Campman
+Ogre Doug Who ? you mean Martin Kampmann ?
AutoVlog
The MMA fighter. Yeah I'm sorry if I misspelled his name. You got some Donald Cerrone in there too lol
make a 0-60 mph please?!
+Johnny Fehr I already have a video of that
+AutoVlog i cant find it
I am not a fan of firing up a vehicle by pushing a button, I think this is the stupidest technology ever. So, my question is if I want to use a key to power up this vehicle would that be possible? In other words, is it like an optional thing that I can order?
we need hybrid trucks
How much for this car?
+Jason Nguyen MSRP is 50K
Got the 2016 4x4 supercrew. It runs circles around dodge and Chevy. 3.5l ecoboost 365 hp. Plus ford doesn't take people's tax money from the government like some welfare moocher. Chevy should have been bankrupt 4 yrs ago. But I guess when they can get money out of yalls paycheck a to cover ass it's ok
For 50k I'll buy a f350 for that trucks got pricy as hell no wonder I still drive my 95 f150 xlt v8
I could buy an f 150 or a house hm
I paid 37k for a 302A package V8 5.0 heated black cloth seats. 50k for this truck is lame
+sortac08 Of course, anyone that thinks they are actually paying 50K for it is severely confused. The incentives and discounts brings the price down drastically
Went to go one last week till i seen the price 50k+ for a truck!? Come on FORD your still a truck with average fit & finish and full of plastic inside the cabin. I belaeve my 2010 FX2 was a better truck at the time and i paid 36K out the door.
+Sean Toma You wont be paying 50K...
never in my life will i get an ecoboost truck. give me a v8
I bet you have an ecoboost now lmao
Never trust the bald man
