It’s called King Ranch after the 825,000 acre King Ranch located in Kingsville Texas. This truck is a tribute to Texas because that’s the state that purchases the most F-150. Chevy and Toyota have “Texas editions” that follows the same principle, Texans love their trucks haha
Yeah watching them not knowing what the King Ranch branding was and trying to work their way through all that made me cringe so much. Usually love their videos, but damn that was hard to watch as a native Texan. Also, I don't know if Ford still sells it, but like around a decade ago, Ford literally had a Texas edition on top of the King Ranch. Think the Texas edition was just a Lariat with some popular options put into a package.
Wow, that is interesting to know. Yeah, these trucks coming out nowadays are farrrrrrr more comfortable and refined than just 15 years ago. I can legitimately drive most new trucks now at 80 MPH...despite the obvious weight differences, they're almost just as comfortable now as your average passenger sedan.
Perhaps no vehicle class has made more strides over the past 20 years in terms of overall comfort and drivability than the truck class. I remember driving a couple of trucks back in the late 90's and feeling utterly uncomfortable past speeds of say 60 MPH. These trucks coming out nowadays still serve their primary purpose of being all-duty purpose vehicles to haul and tow stuff...but now you can legitimately cruise for long distances on the highway and feel *comfortable* doing so with good ride quality and refinement. Another awesome review.
I love the interior colours of the Ling Ranch Edition. Looks like they managed to get an actual saddle brown which looks well with the piping and combined with black. Very masculine, classy looking.
The “logo” is the actual brand (as in hot metal burned into the skin of cattle to identify them) used by the original King Ranch in Texas. Every ranch had a unique brand so that when free ranging (being raised on public/open lands) they could identify their cattle from the others. Plus it prevented cattle rustlers (thieves) stealing their cattle, since their origins could be identified at a glance.
I love y’all like I really do. But y’all were describing literally everyone in Texas . They make those trucks for us and everyone has one. Great vid guys!
Ethan ethan Y’all in Texas must be wealthy. The highly optioned modern full size pickup truck is not cheap and fuel expensive. Here in the other side of the universe (CA), we for some reason vote for higher gas costs so we tend to drive smaller cars. Some of us here are into soy, veganism, and yoga pants. I am planning an exit strategy from this state and hoping to live amongst normal people.
I know you guys asked for this a long while ago but I’m a procrastinator. I went and looked at a Ram Longhorn edition based on your review. I ended up buy a 3500 Longhorn. You boys weren’t wrong. I love my truck.
Lesson for the day children! Ford started the two tone paint for trucks long before my old ass was born and has kept that theme ever since, except for some trim levels ( cheap stripped down models). Two tone trucks are a sign of upscale for Ford.
I’ve always been a ford truck guy when I was little, I had a power wheels Ford F-150 I’ve collected all types of anything that’s the Ford F-150 I hope I could own this one day (I’m only 15)
I'm 16 and I think the two tone paint and chrome looks fantastic. Its not only older guys that like it. Edit: Thats is my dream, truck right after a Denali 6.2. Generally I would prefer a V8, but with the 5.0s from 18 and after having all the issues they do right now I would take that 3.5 with the F150
The running W logo is the Ranch symbol. It is how we keep track of cattle from Ranch to Ranch. We brand the cattle with the logo. KingRanch is in South Texas. At one point, it was the largest ranch in Texas at over a million acres but has since downsized. The KingRanch truck means a lot to us in Texas and it is the only truck the KingRanch uses for all of their work trucks. The partnership with Ford began in '99 and the first truck came '01. They used actual rawhide leather until '08 when they realized that it wasn't holding up well as a seat material. Technically, it was called Lanolin leather. Starting in '09 they did a 50/50 mix of Lanolin and traditional car leather and the seats are holding up much better. I have had an '08 and currently own an '07. I have had to replace a couple pieces of Lanolin but the interior is back to looking as new as possible. I love these trucks! Thanks for reviewing it StraightPipes!
Greetings from Texas! The symbol is the cattle brand for the King ranch. Just a side note, I have recently purchased 2 complete sets of the Continental Terrain Contact A/T for my trucks. Best A/T tire on the market!
I bought 2018 KR and I think it’s awesome. 3.5 ecoboost will get up and go with 3:55 rear. Gas mileage in eco 20 mpg. Boost 12 mpg in town. So a light foot and it makes a big difference. Loved your review. Apple play will work right if you set the infotainment system correctly and your phone is configured properly. It took me awhile with update Sync 3 and a map nav. Update on my home WIFI while sitting driveway. Next gen sync4 should have all the bugs worked out.
Jakub is right about the side steps, my dads suv has dealer installed GM ones and we left them on during the winter. They haven't worked in years they are frozen in the lowered position.
The Ram has a nice interior at first glance but the more you look at it, the more “rhinestone cowboy”, Orville Peck it gets. The silver buckles on the rear map pockets are way too much.
Hi! I own a truck with those side skirts, and they don't get as gummed up as you think. The motors for them are pretty powerful! I've hardly had to fix them!
Ford has proven to have been the pathfinder, the usher and the leader of American motor industry to the way of durability, luxury, modernity, versatility, aestheticness and constant advancement. We are profoundly proud of FORD.
The King Ranch W or "Flying W" comes from the branding iron used at the King Ranch since 1869, it signifies a rattlesnake although some people say it is also meant to look like a longhorn steer. Source: my cousin Javier who works on the King Ranch.
Can’t wait to see your first review on the new F-150! Also, at 11:25, the Mercury Grand Marquis has power adjustable pedals, just like my father’s Grand Marquis.
The running W remains a mystery. The Running W brand was first registered in 1869. Some have said that it represents one of the ranch's many diamondback rattlesnakes or the Santa Gertrudis Creek, while others are sure it signifies the sweeping horns of a Texas Longhorn bull. Straight from the King Ranch site.
@@TheStraightPipes that metaphor kind of works since CDs were available in cars & gaining popularity while cassette usage was decreasing. Although cassettes were far more popular than satellite radio ever was. My point is that few people listen to satellite radio, and more people listen to digital audio like podcasts, Spotify, etc. Satellite radio usage in car is a small minority with flat growth while digital audio is already as popular & growing much faster. Satellite radio just isn't relevant to most consumers.
"It reminds me of a baseball glove". I thought exactly the same. I love playing ball so I'm thinking of this trim instead of the Platinum. Yes, I'm weird.
Love the new 2021 F-150, excited to see your review. The intro flashback vids were def interesting, albeit a lil confusing. I guess that's the interesting part about it ;)
I'm deciding between a King Ranch and a Ram Longhorn, one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. First truck too. The videos are helping though.

Yes we do
“Is anything really what it is” - Yuri has dropped acid sometime in his life :D

you are all wrong he dropped before he bought the element that's when his third eye opened

Each ranch has to have a unique logo to brand their cattle which is why the W looks like it does
Yes, the goal was to look different so each ranch can tell the difference but always to look like something.
It's a sidewinder rattle snake
Lol at the alternate takes.
Running W. Taming of the West is their brand that ranch uses.
That was the best part lol
I didn't believe when people said Time Travellers were real😮
Yuri: the kind of guy who does drifting on a Ford F-150 King Ranch. 😁👏👏
That was Jakub

@Jonathan Losito they are actually good friends, so.... I hope Doug hasn't "copyrighted" this reference.
Everyone’s Google search - “King Ranch meaning”
Yuri’s Google search - “wtf is King Ranch”
Brooo...
That was Jakub's search
@@TheStraightPipes oof
The logo is the shape of a crown fellas… “King“ 👑
Wow
Huh, I always thought it was their cattle brand
Eric Majeski it is....but it is the shape of a crown
No it’s not that logo comes from the river that flows right through king ranch and that’s what it kinda looks like
The "W" logo is the Kind Ranch cattle brand, which the ranch calls the 'flying W'
Is anything ever really what it is. Yuri I just wanted to see the King Ranch not question my entire life.

Yup, it’s a silent w just like wrench.
IF it was Wrangler Jeans themed then yes it could be called that
The W is an Egyptian symbol for a king.And KR is one of the biggest ranches in Texas and the world just saying.
Fun fact, when Car and Driver first tested this with the 3.5eb and 10 speed, it was quieter at 70mph than their long-term 2017 bmw 7 series.
Wow, that is interesting to know. Yeah, these trucks coming out nowadays are farrrrrrr more comfortable and refined than just 15 years ago.

FreewayBrent yep, that’s why so many people buy them now. The ultimate all-in-one vehicle. F150s especially are excellent at NVH

Guys the W logo is the original King Ranch's cattle brand that they used to mark their cattle.
6:07. I believe this is a 5.5’ bed, not 6.5’. Though the longer bed is available with the crew cab.

"I was expecting more tailgate innovation". Who would have thought that would be a line.
Would love to see "The Straight Pipes Ranch" Off road test become a permanent segment in the SUVs/Crossovers/Truck reviews you two do. 👍
No one:
Yuri: you can rewind the satellite radio!
Ram longhorn rules until now. Greatness
Watching form Europe, I really love your truck reviews even tho we almost never get to see one on the road! Keep it up guys!
In the netherlands because of tax benefits they are popular especially the ram looks stupid next to all the yaris and polos
@@prickowens9341 In Luxembourg you rarely see any so they always catch your eye.
Saw a Raptor in Central London 3 years ago when I was there.
@@prickowens9341 tax benefits for busineses in agriculture and stuff.
But to be honest, I like trucks but they don't really fit in our infrastructure. We're just too small.
That drift was sick
Yuri: :"I don't if anything is real anymore."
Me: This ain't The Matrix, bro!
Love that they brought back the two tone colors, its like the Eddie Bauer trucks of the 90's loved that as a kid, still love it looks great.
13:02 When Yuri said "Confirmed". I felt that.
Definitely Grandpa's truck in the south.... love the comfort

Yuri’s response or lack thereof in the “launch control” is hilarious.
F 150 and G shock in one video. You deserve thumbs up!
I know you guys asked for this a long while ago but I’m a procrastinator. I went and looked at a Ram Longhorn edition based on your review. I ended up buy a 3500 Longhorn. You boys weren’t wrong. I love my truck.
For us older folks, the metallic paint looks like 1980's paint. We knew how to do METALLIC!
Jacob looks like a perfect poster boy for "How to look like a Mormon"

Released right after this gen of F-150 was released in our country, can’t ask for more!
I think that 2021 F-150 is amazing and will beat any Ram or Silverado in terms of quality, luxury and value
The new one looks like a GMC
I thought it was more Kia Telluride appearing.
That’s a good thing man
Jonathan Losito The rear is a 2012 F150 with ugly aftermarket LED taillights. Same shape
Razvan Mihalache 2009-2014 gen 12 f150
It looks and is way better than GM trucks.
The RAM Long Horn looks a bit tacky to me. I like that the King Ranch's interior is a bit more subtle.

Texan here- it’s a ranch that’s bigger than Rhode Island. And yes, everything is bigger here
I’m pretty sure that’s the 5 1/2 foot bed not the 6 1/2 bed.
Maybe the Dodge Ram has a nicer interior but this Ford F-150 will be way more reliable than that Dodge.
Hank Hill would ask the dealer for his old truck back after a week in this.
