Love videos like these! These are the videos that no one else puts out. I know all the major and minor details! I want to know it all! Including the MICRO details. Great Job T&C TV!
Great information! I learned a lot about my new truck from watching your videos. Thanks!
Love your videos. Always super informative
You guys st Alabama's Ford Dealerships are the best, love watching this and always a Ford fan!!! Keep up the awesome vlogs.. Aloha🤙🤙🤙
Good info, my favorite feature is the memory heated seats, I'm in alberta, canada and I hate coming in my car and sitting down on my leather seats in the winter which feels like sitting on a brick of ice.
Good videos guys. I like the f150. I have 2018 f150 fx4 special edition sport 4 door with the 3.5 ecoboost.love it . from Canada.. 👍..
Can you do a vid on the different trim levels on the focus, minus the st, and rs
Hey Mitchell, I was bouncing between a new 2017 F150 and a 2018. I ended up with a '17 Platinum with a 6/27/17 build date. The truck has the 10-speed and many many features (701A) with park assist- loaded. Aside from the new front and tailgate, what other things are 2018 different from my new ride? I note the drive modes as one difference.
Thanks for the new video
How about exhaust and cold air kits? I know the 5.0 is different but will those have to be a brand new design or can a 2017 exhaust kit and cold air work?
2:40 wow heated seats memory. Tell Ford to put a memory on the stop/start button.
blackericdenice Blame the regulators on that; not Ford. Same for Alfa Romeo and most newer cars; have to cancel the feature after every start.
you can turn the stop and start off with the touch of a button
Plug a 7 PIN TO 4 PIN adaptor into the trailer wiring socket. It will fool the truck that a trailer is connected and defeat the auto stop/ start function in all driving modes
But why should you have to, mustang 2017? That b.s. should not be on the vehicle.
You can permanently turn off the auto start / stop within the instrument panel options.
Luckily my current F150 Ecoboost doesn't have auto on/off. However my wife's new Jeep Grand Cherokee does have it. I was able to unplug the hood sensor, and keep the stop/start feature completely turned off.
Where would I go to find different Grilles for a 2018 F 150?
Thanks 😀
Just bought a 18 ford xlt sport 3.5 EcoBoost! Can’t wait to drive it off the lot!
Can you turn off the auto stop/start, collision avoidance, and alarm?
That sport package look nice !!!
Any changes to the heated steering wheel button? It’s annoying that it’s not on the main screen on the 2017s
You didn’t talk about
Transmission failure ua-cam.com/video/iIZIKnj8Kqc/v-deo.html
Power steering failure ua-cam.com/video/gO9vtwFda8I/v-deo.html
Just picked up a 2018 XLT got a great deal for Presidents day sale. I have to say to anyone looking to buy skip the 5 liter because the 3.5 liter Ecoboost is a Mini Beast under the hood . Combined with the 10 speed transmission you put your foot down and your hitting ludicrous speed in nothing flat. I absolutely love the Ecoboost engine.
I screwed up. I bought the 5.0 V8 and the dealer never told me that the 3.5 is faster and has more torque plus towing. I don't have buyers remorse because the FX4 I have is a beast.
@yea bouy never
yea bouy Yes,I went with the 5.0 after doing some Research. Not much difference in Gas Mileage and No Potential Turbo worries 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️!!!
@@rtg722 but some 18 and up like mine has oil consumption issues. I'm going through the dealer usage test now.
I bought it with 23k and by the 5k mile oil change I had put a total of 3 qt. In her. Also have a decel rattle. I never had a chevy let me down this bad.
@@rtg722 buy from ford under 50k miles you get a lifetime warranty which covers the turbos
Thanks I was wondering why the heck my heated seats were coming on as I enter the vehicle in my 2019 lol
Just got my 2018 Platinum. If you hold the seat memory button until it chimes a second time it will program the truck for the key you are using. So, the next time you enter the vehicle all the presets (seat, mirrors, etc) will automatically go to their positions.
Michael Berg can t wait to get mine what color is yours
My 2013 Honda Accord has that.
Michael Berg how do you like the new "ventilated" seats? I'm told they're no longer "air conditioned or cooled"
Michael Berg I did not know that! Thanks!
Hopefully you don’t have problems with the inner cooler like somebody had with 2 different F-150’s. It would suddenly drop from 60 to 30 in an instant almost causing to get rear ended
I have a 2019 XLT fx4 from time to time I will get in my truck and the seats are not ware left them when I got out ? Any help would be awesome
Is the high pitch ringing noise after the truck is off normal? Sounds sort of like an electrical type of whine. I don’t think it’s specific to the ecoboost or the 5.0. Both can have it it sounds like
Does the 2017 Auto start/stop come on the STX package? It does not seem to work even though I have the option button and it is on my display. When I hit the brake the letter A with the circle arrow around it lights up with a line going through it. What gives???
My 2018 will change modes with under 10 miles to empty, and the back seats do not have the memory setting for the seat heater.
Nice.. Three weeks ago I ordered a 2019 f150 4x2 regular cab short box with 2.7 twin turbo, 10 speed and 3:73 gears. It's XLT with 301A package in Magnetic. Nice!! How about a video about a truck like this?.... :-) Hopefully it's in by the end of the month (Sept '19)
Can you ship Oxford white 2018 f-150 fender flares, to Canada?
Just picked up a 2018 F150 supercrew with the 5.0. Only thing I'm not crazy about is it has a 3.55 gear ratio. But the price was hard to beat and it only has 49,000 miles on it.
Ambient lighting options were also removed!
That's all well and good. Now can they figure out why my oil pan leaks, after three attempts at repairing it. Or when is my long block coming ?This is a '16 F150 2.7 were talking about with 15 K on the odometer.
One thing you failed to mention is that you can't change the color and/or brightness of the ambient lighting anymore!. I don't know what FORD was thinking when they made that decision!!!
Big Money I was wondering about that!
Thanks! Subbed!
Also For 2018, Ford did away with the external transmission oil cooler, and the engine oil cooler. They are not on the Trailer tow 53b, or the Max Trailer Tow 53C package any longer as options.
do the rear seats of the supercrew cab in the 18 F150 lock in the down position? my brand new supercrew stx only locks in the up position requiring the use of the underseat latch but is free moving in the lowered position.. doesn't seem correct to me
That is correct. There really isn't a worry of the seat flying up when it is down so it doesn't need to be locked unless it is in the up position.
Very helpful.
Heres another.
NO BOOST GAUGE FOR 2018 !!
I like the fact that you have a choice of getting a larger gas tank. It offers 3 sizes. 23,26 and 36.
Hey town and country: Which configuration has the best acceleration? Reg Cab Short bed 4x4 5.0 v8 10 speed, Reg Cab LONG bed 4x4 3.5 ecoboost 10 speed XLT w/ the highest configurable axle ratio, OR lastly the reg cab short bed 2WD 5.0 v8 work truck stripped out model but w/10 speed as a standalone? I've done heavy research on this new f150... the numbers are frankly mind boggling.. the amount of capability in the reg cab long bed xlt 4wd 3.5 ecoboost 10 speed w/ the fattest tires, highest numerical axle ratio, fx4 etc. is worlds better than competitors 2500 HD diesel models produce... I believe that trim i mentioned holds 3650lbs payload and tows over 13,000lbs, then if equipped with nokian studded winter tires it'd be a monster of a plow truck, I imagine one of those could complete the work of 5 lesser trucks.. what with cold weather improving boost and how little it weighs, these new ford trucks are an engineering masterpiece, I'd go so far as to say they're the best trucks ever made.
Good points.
All you need is one toothpick [ round ] to disable stop - start. Push the off button in and push toothpick into the gap between the button and the side. Break the toothpick off, Done
Love it just bought one
I've heard that the valve stem caps now have 8 turns to remove them. The 2017 had 7 turns.
Dealbreaker....
Very interesting.. Im just about to sign for a 2019 F-150 Larait 502A package and technology package..any Insight..
@@MrSurprenant1 for 2019 maybe itll be 9 turns? xD
2018 F150 3.5 , I see auto start/stop in the menu , if you uncheck that does it disable it ?
Yes, try reading the owners manual
We have I missed you Mitchell welcome back
Has anyone tested a 2018 Raptor to see if Sport Mode disables Start/Stop? Would be cool if that feature carried over.
It does!
The grille/headlights area still looks like the truck has breathe-right nasal strips.
can I get the full sunroof with the xl model?
No, they only have them on XLT and higher
I just got a 2018 f150 limited and it doesnt have AMBIENT lightlight
My v8 lariat seems to rattle like a uhaul truck when accelerating/deaccelerating, why?
Do the rear heated seats heat all three seats or is it just the outboard seats like in most vehicles?
just the outboard seats
Shane Young, thanks!
Actually mango, the 2017 F150 when put into Sport or Tow/Haul mode it will automatically turn off the start stop automatically as well.
Right. But you have to do that every time you start the truck-----just like pushing the start/stop button. What do you gain?
How much is that lifted black widow,you cruising in?
6 inches
mustang 2017 I'm sorry,but I meant,"how much it cost!"
Oh thank goodness. It's just so hard for those poor 2017 F150 Lariat owners to manually turn on the heated seats. Now they can have the break they finally deserve.
So what is the Eco mode on the new F150? What's it's purpose?
Better fuel economy.
Do. The ventilated seats work like the heated with them coming back on to
Yes
Have you tested out the new vented seats? I can't understand why they got rid of cooled / AC seats? Must be warranty issues ?
I literally got a ford ad listing all the things on the new f150 on this video
Another thing different is the type of shocks for 2018.
Did you know that "Air Conditioned /Cooled" seats are no longer available? They are now replaced with ventilated seats. Mike Levine at Ford confirmed this. Has anyone been able to test them while it's still hot?
They have never been air conditioned... they've always been cooled - ventilated.
I just ordered a 2018 F150 Platinum in the new Magma Color . they said 6-8 weeks to make it. Lordy
Ordered My Lariat on 15th of August and picked it up at the dealer on 15th of Sept.
I have an F150 XLT - my problem: I cannot find out from anyone, anywhere as to how to delete my incoming text messages. Tried everything! Was at the dealer for service no one could help
Loose your wife and it wont matter anymore 😉
Is that a hidden Chevy bow tie in the Grill now 😂
Will a bug deflector from a 2015 fit on a 2018?
Taz Man I’ll sell you mine. It came with one
Love your vids. Too bad you are in bama. Go Tigers of LSU!!!
I have an '18 F150. Great truck. Everyone must visit Dearborn, MI - The Henry Ford, Greenfield Village, et. al. NOT a Ford advert, true Americana.
lol Ford finally getting that heated seat memory feature... my 10 year old BMW has had that.
Ford has had it...I have a 2006 lincoln zephyr (new model is mkz). My lincoln has heated & cooled memory seats. Pretty cool for a car values at about 5k on KBB and has leather seats.
So by had you mean it don't work anymore..
FishFind3000 better late than never!
Love the truck
I love that truck wish I could buy one but can't afford one good looking truck
I have to say the memory heated seats is very annoying. Also, the Sync system needs debugged.
That heated seat memory will be great for those of us with bad backs.
Funny..I ALWAYS used to pull my back out after sitting in a heated seat and RUFUSE to use them now. Guess what? No more back problems!
Don Hanson my 17 Titan already has this.
Don Hanson yeah definitely will be great for those of us with bad backs!
Don Hanson YESSSS - I won’t buy a truck without them!
Ahhhh, that's why that happens Memory heated seats for the win! Nice video.
In the 2016 F150 king ranch, is there a way to turn on cruise control and leave it there, without having to manually turn it on every time you start the truck?
Bought a new 2017 150 crew king ranch. Will go back to a dodge. Ford I get 14-16 mpg. Dodge on trip over 22.
Jimmy Billips I’m not a fan of the way Dodge trucks drive down the highway. It’s too bad cause the deals are excellent.
22 mpg overall in 2 tank of fuel V8 5.0 in eco mode 45 psi air pressure in tires
2018 crew cab 4x4 king ranch with bed cover
Bought a 2017 King Ranch F150. Had to Lemon Law it due to excessive drive train vibration. Bought a 2018 F150 Lariat with a Powerstroke. Couldn't be happier! Would never consider a Fiat Ram.
Has Ford corrected the EcoBoost problem that was an issue. Do you still have to add the canister for the oil blowback?
All of the new motors, including the gen 2 ecoboosts, have both port and direct injection. Fuel will passively clean the intake valve again. This wasn't a gen 1 ecoboost issue specifically , it's general maintenance on any direct injection engine to clean the intake valves every 50k-60k miles using a media blaster, and only because of exhaust gas recirculation that is now moot with Atkinson cycle. The government emission regulations are about 20 years behind modern tech. That 2.7l is actually probably the most durable motor in the lineup. It's built like a modern diesel, except far less complex. That being said, a ten speed transmission is pointless on the ecoboosts when they put out maximum torque over such a wide rpm range. The future diesel will love it though.
mule nine yes by adding Port Injection along with Direct injection. What they also did though was take the majority of the port injection engines, I.e. the 5.0 liter and added direct injection. Pretty soon we should be seeing the start stop button in the coyote engine in the mustang gt and new 5.2 liter predator.....sad days.
For sure. And that start/stop b.s. is going to kill Ford sales.
you can disable it permanently with a jumper wire. Takes all of 5 minutes to do it!
And voids your warranty.
Is there anyway option to get rid of auto-start stop. I absolutely don’t like it. I do know its standard
No
Place a wire harness in the tail light thing at the back off the truck and cut the wire. It turns it off because it thinks that your towing
Put the truck in Sport Mode and it automatically turns that off
Just disable it
How can you hate something you don't own.
You forgot the 2018 5.0 motor tick..that upgrade was free.
What happened to the 5.0?
I swore I heard the tick earlier my 5.0 2018 has 400 miles on it. I had a flowmaster muffler 1 in 2 0ut super 44 installed the other day and got on the ground thinking there was shitty gapped welds at the joints that were making the ticking noise like little air bursts and then I realized it was the engine. I'm hoping the roush cold air intake I just ordered doesn't make it worse. But the premium 6yr 100k mile powertrain warranty relieves my worries about the tick a little!
I wish you could get me a great deal on the new 2018 Ford F-150 Lariat
King ranch
I like your guys videos. But you always show the same trucks and talk about 2019 f150 . or the 2.7 ecoboost f150, lariat, raptor in all videos. Show something different. Talk about other f150. Fx4 special edition 3.5 ecoboost but not the same tipe of trucks. But good videos.👍
I have Start/Stop on my Jeep Cherokee. I did not know and wasn't`t told about it when I bought it. I HATE IT !!!
It is total b.s.
Auto stop/start? I am not a buyer unless I can permanently disable. Don’t tell me about tricking it to think I’m pulling a trailer, using a plug in that deletes the use of my reverse camera, or pushing a button every damn time I get into it for a drive. Auto start stops creates a lot of unnecessary damage to starter motor not to mention flex plate and rod bearings.
Dan Latta
Just don't buy a Ford your problem is solved .
Good luck with that every manufacturer is doing it.
No closed captioned
I would still never buy a Ford after what you said lol.
Is it just me, or did King Ranches used to be a lot more ostentatious than today?
That they break? Oh I forgot everybody knows that
I've had 4 brand new ones in a row. I've put 100,000 miles on all of them with zero issues. Maybe some day you will be able to afford a new one, then you will be able to make a more well informed comment.
Are people that lazy where they can't turn on and off the heated seats?
Nothing to do with lazy, it's just a feature.
Blazejunkie yes yes they r. More gadgets less truck
Blazejunkie it's sold the seats are warmed before you get in the vehicle...
Start/Stop is on almost every new car & truck; has nothing to do with Ford. Manufacturers are doing this to help meet CAFE standards for efficiency. It's on BMW, Alfa Romeo, Toyota, etc.
Yes thank Obama for that b.s.
Exactly! Haters aren't usually the smartest bunch... logic and reason are lost on those types. "dumb Ford and that dumb auto start stop"...meanwhile, every other large truck and SUV is coming out with them. LOL
Is the bed still aluminum? That alone keeps me from buying Ford.
you must believe chevy bullshit line x you will never have a issue
Chevy is going to Aluminum next year!
Yes it is aluminum, along with the rest of it.
What moron would dump a load of sharp cornered rocks in any truck from 8 feet in the air?? Chevy commercial geared to the stupid.
they claim thicker aluminum now...
What will be the dealership pricing on the 2018 gt350s?
👍🏻👍🏻
Well the fender flare problem isn’t a bad thing. No one should ever put bushwackers on any vehicle ever. Unless you have a tribal arm tattoo.
Haha! I believe that some state require you to have your tires covered. In other words, your tires can’t stick out further that the vehicle.
It's time to give away a Black Widow F150 to people who have owned one since at least 1998!!

To see a tuned Ecoboost go here.

The 5.0 drinks oil...
everyone bitching about start and stop you can turn that function off in these trucks you dont have to use it
2025 F150 will be 1.5 liter inline 4 ecobust
But it will make 850 HP.
and get 40 mpg city
northlander you're a sucker who has bought Into their paid for propaganda. It's hilarious. MERICA!
northlander it means you've been brainwashed ford is #1 ford is #1 hoohooohoo it's a bunch of dribble for feeble minded folk which most are. Brand loyalty best sales. It's hilarious. Like a bunch of sheep being led around. Hahaha it's fucking sad.
C Steele So the Ecoboosts are not the best selling versions of the best selling truck series in the US? I'd like to see your data to support that. Hell, the F series the best selling vehicle in the US period by a margin of 42% compared to the Silverado. On top of that, sales of the F series were up 5% last year and Silverado sales were down 4%. #data
if you want ppl to follow you on instagram, you have to follow back. it doesn't cost you anything to follow back, most ppl will unfollow if you do not follow back
it a car not a and it's a house on wheels for me because l can't see paying that much for some thing that's going to wear out...
It's all relative.....
Chris Cardoza good point. Everything will eventually wear out.
Chris Cardoza
So you take the bus everywhere ?
Houses wear out...Roofs, flooring, paint, plumbing, HVAC, etc...lol
Know your product Town and Country I sell Ford's here in Corpus Christi, Texas and in the 17's when you put it in sport mode it will turn off auto start stop feature. Also there a a radar map for the weather, 5 day forecast, and current weather for the day. There's a few more and again know your product before you post on UA-cam. #SouthTexasStrong #HarveyWontStopUs
Fender flares are the ugliest down grade you can have !! Change my mind !
Dont forget it eats oil really bad and transmission is garbage stay away unless you want to be in the dealership all the time do your research on 2018 f150 5.0 oil consumption and transmission problems
Auto start stop, Absolutely most useless thing on the truck!!! My second Ford with it on and never use it!!! Why they insist on bring it back I have no idea!!
packer34 It’s so incredibly Annoying,it’s supposed 2 save Gas🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️!!
