EVIL Co. nah, aluminum is better, much better, a bit more expensive, but still better. The f-150 is lighter and it is the safest of all pickup trucks in the market now.
My dad got my mom a brand new Chevy Tahoe in 1998 and today we said goodbye to it. Today we got this F-150 model. Took it on a little test spin myself and compared to that Tahoe, good lord. I mean sure this thing is 20 years in the future, but imagine going from that to this. Mind blowing. I love the 2018 F-150. 10/10 would buy myself one. Or two.
I've driven a 2016 Transit 150 extended and it honestly felt like a car. For a van it's really smooth and fun to drive. Ford is making really quality vehicles at the moment, in all forms.
I love my new 2017 FX4 XLT Super Crew 5.0L with the six speed. I am getting 19.2 MPG highway/city which is better than I expected. The truck has been flawless. I went for the 2017 to save some $$, and to NOT get the auto/start technology. 5000+ plus miles are on the truck this week,
the way to disable the start stop technology is to get a trailer light tester and plug it in. tricks the truck into thinking it is towing and turns it off. or just hit the button everytime you get in. Just for future reference.
yup, just ordered my 2020 F150, almost put the ecoboost in, really glad I picked the V8, after test driving both I agree, it just feels and sounds right, the sound is unbeatable.
I've really been taking a hard look at the 2017 Silverado Rally 2 and Midnight, but this POV drive has completely changed my decision. Thanks for saving me from a 50k mistake. I'll definitely be driving the 18 F-150 before making a decision.
xFEDORAxDAVE x yeah I have a 2015 5.0 crew cab with 33 12.5 s on it and beat up on the dodges my buddy has a 16 ram 1500 hemi and I jump him off the line by a truck length and continue to pull the whole race
Despite this being the smallest V8 by displacement in the 1500 segment, I think this one actually sounds the best. I drove one of the 2021 press trucks yesterday with the V8 and it’s really nice on the ears. I spent a week with the Silverado 5.3 a few months ago and the Ford is nicer. I’ve never driven the Ram but compared to what I hear in videos, I think the F-150 wins. My local dealer is actually selling the Roush Supercharged ones and I’m very close to going into some massive debt
I’ve always been a GM guy. My old man had a 2014 Sierra with the Ecotec3 5.3L and now he has a 2018 Sierra SLT with the 6.2L. Both of those engines are powerful, reliable, and sound the best in my opinion. But when I was getting my CDL in school, my instructor is a big Ford guy and so he and I went at it nonstop lol. He showed me his brand new F-150 and brand new Mustang GT both with the 5.0L Coyote V8. Let me test drive them lol. NOW I DONT KNOW WHO TO GO WITH!! LETS JUST SAY THAT LOL! GM and Ford are the best in my opinion.
Servant of JESUS CHRIST I thought the same thing , until I drive the ecoboost! The 3.5 is just a torque monster for a half ton , especially with the new 10 speed .
@@hawaiianflavor69 lol. American trucks these days have the luxury of German cars and the functionality of, well, a truck. You have comfort and usefulness. A Swiss Army knife with a luxurious feel. They are also reliable, the only real negative being that trucks don’t get the best MPG. But neither do German cars since they put V6 in them so that they can be quick.
Picking up my new to me 2018 5.0 on Tuesday and I’m stoked! I agree after driving multiple ecoboosts, I have to say as an enthusiast there’s nothing that brings a smile to my face like the V8! I think it’s partly the turbo lag as well as the engine just feels.. skinny?
I drive a 2016 Black Platinum FX4 6 speed transmission. Love my truck. After 2 years. No problems. I have a line of co workers wanting to buy it. I am not liking the front grill on the 2018. But that’s my opinion.
My daily driver is a 2007 Tacoma. At my work we have 2018 fleet model xl f150s and I honestly can't tell a difference when driving the two of them. Pretty impressive they can make a full size truck handle like a midsize...
I own a 2018 Ford F-150 5.0 lariat and I have had nothing but issues with it. Do you research prior to buying. They all have the cold start deceleration rattle issue which there is no repair that works. Also mine had a motor replacement for burning oil and it still burns oil. Sunroof issues, transmission rattle issues. I really do love the truck but after 20 trip to the dealer in 1.5 yrs Ford is buying it back and I’m going with a Toyota now. I have only owned American cars but after this I can’t risk going through it again. Too stressful. I highly recommend you look up these issues and read the comments of what owners are going through.
i am a BIG fan of the pick up. i live i the uk. and would love to own an f150. so nice to look at. would be such a head tuner in the uk. we never see them here. and it look really plush too. big big fan. well done ford
The econlost does 60 in 5.7 that’s fassst the v8 6.3 sec still really amazing for a truck! I think I’d settle For the v8 for the peace of mind later years of ownership
The 3.5 Ecoboost will spank this 5.0 :D I prefer the EcoBoosts they get off the line much quicker.. in day to day driving the low end torque on the ecoboosts really shines
I like the F-150 already,...but don't need one this fancy. I'm wanting a 2018 F-150 XL 2WD Supercab with the 5.0L V8. Just give me cruise control,and a trailer tow package,...and I'll be happy!
I love the way these kids now a days test trucks.. "lets see how fast it is". Does it have a USB port, How many buttons does it have, does it have internet? How about lets see how much it can haul, tow, payload, ground clearance, you know, truck stuff.
I decided to go smaller and get a grand Cherokee instead of an F-150. Since that decision I can count at least 20 times I wish I had gone with a truck, i am on here just dwelling on what could have been
DON'T READ MY PROFILE PICTURE me either. I was trying to hard to find a used king ranch 5.0 but they’re hard to find. Finally I got a 2016 xlt sport 5.0.
tyler boyer correct the Genesis I have is the fastest Hyundai has produced so far. Of all their vehicles. 429hp and weighs around 4100 lbs. 8 speed transmission. Pretty quick and fun! The 3.8 in the Genesis coupe is also quick
I drove the 5 L V8 with the 10 speed as a rental U-Haul and the truck shifts like butter and has power for days
The Sock Monkey!, true but they need to make the suspension softer for non towing drives.

I'll mail you one from colorado. Thanks for helping us design the 6.7 powerstoke!

Make sure on your decision take a V8, do not listen to the sales person. They go to trade sale you a 2.7 twin turbo or 3.5.
