    Just following up on some of the comments RE deliveries being delayed. I have the official line from Ford now. All deliveries and sales have been halted due to a turbocharger issue originating from the remanufacturing process - full details here: www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/ford-f-150-sales-and-deliveries-halted-after-remanufacturing-fault

    Ordered mine and placed a deposit in April 2022. Was told I was number 6 in Australia. From this June through to December, I just got all sorts of excuses why my truck was late. Then on the 20th of December told that my truck has gone to another customer and they'd have to organise another to be built and remanufactured. Was likely to be delivered after Easter 2024 now. Have now cancelled my order and got my deposit back. Is the worst new car experience ever! Never buying a Ford ever again!

      Sorry to hear that - that sucks. I was pretty shocked to see the condition of the service centre I took my Raptor to two weeks ago for its first major service. It looked like a backyard mechanic - certainly not the place I'd want to be buying a $140k vehicle from.

    @ScottyNorth 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

    I picked up my SWB Lariat 2 weeks ago. Ordered in October this year, so about an 8 week wait.
    It is everything you mention in the video.
    We purchased solely for towing horses, not much payload needed.
    I have a y62 and a next gen ranger raptor. We used to tow with the y62 and when I got the raptor, for a bit of fun, I hooked the float up and went for a spin.
    After that short trip, I ordered an F150.
    The twin turbo is brilliant for towing, and the F150 is very torquey.
    Things I don’t like after 2 weeks of ownership:
    1) The mirrors are virtually useless. Can see almost nothing out of drivers one. (Not convex)
    2) Drivers footwell is too small. I know all converted trucks are similar but the foot position is nothing close to the ranger raptor let alone the basement size footwell in the y62. Wearing steel caps or larger boots is tricky
    3) The stupid idle noise it makes. I know this is not a problem, but it supposedly the straight cut gears Ford used in the auto’s oil pump. Sounds like you have a belt problem, all the time..
    4) I don’t love the indicator on the left. It is not a problem when driving the F150 as there is nothing on the right to confuse with, but when you get back in another car….
    5) These cars sit around for ages while they get made, then shipped, then transported then converted then Transported again. The paint on mine was pretty average condition due to being ‘washed’ when dirty by people who need to wash a lot of cars quickly.
    Everything else in mine was top notch. The finish seems good and it drives very well. I took a punt being an early bird on this, buying one of the first 300 converted, but I gambled that they wanted to do them right.
    It so far seems to do everything we wanted from a ‘Tow Pony’ and am interested to see how it goes long term.

    Seeing some of the comments when it comes to the way Ford has handled some orders is defs a concern and also the stop orders. In all fairness though, this is a new undertaking and will probably take time to get right so give it time i guess. F150 is one of the best out there after all

    I ordered the F150 in July 2022,
    I was then told delays in shipping.
    Three months into 2023 and was told arriving in may, then was told that the car was getting the conversion done in July.
    August I received an email saying the vehicle didn't arrive in Australia (WTF Is going on Ford)
    I called the dealership and they told me that they have no idea to what is happening, very professional. I cancelled the order and ordered a RAM Limited in August. Ram told me the delivery date is in the first week of December 2023. And they were not lying. It's been three weeks now with the RAM and would not change it for anything.
    Thank God that I didn't stick with the F150.

    "decent amount of payload" is a big overstatement with these American trucks. ~700 kg given it's size is incredibly poor.

      Maybe the payload is just realistic unlike a Mondeo at 630kg or a ranger at 900kg
      You put 630kg in the boot of a mondeo and the tyres would be hitting the wheel arch’s the suspension would sag that much
      A ranger would snap in half after a few weeks of having 900kg constantly in the tub
      Whereas this could have 700kg in the tub everyday all day no problems
      Dual cabs here in aus are way overrated for what they can actually do and is more theoretical than practical

    This is type of vehicle that you buy if you need one. Not want one. But you have to appreciate the effort to bring in from US and convert after years of people begging. So people, go buy or lose. Simples. There is nothing quite like US pick up trucks anywhere else in the world. Unfortunately Australian Roads, car parks, shopping centres have not been designed for these mammoth vehicles and that can make it challenging in real life use. Probably best suited for regional areas.

      That is a completely unexpected question. Full size trucks usually have their crumple zones built into the vehicles that they are involved in collisions with.

    Great & thorough review as always Paul!
    Some very nice bells & whistles features, although more things to go wrong down the track.
    Hard to justify the price tag, especially with a Ford badge on it.
    Deal breaker for me is having a petrol engine instead of a diesel engine, which would perfectly match such a behemoth for towing & much improved fuel consumption, especially with a 10 speed auto.
    I doubt that those fuel figures quoted are really accurate & would be surprised one can achieve less than 20L/100 km (unladen & motorway cruising) with a petrol engine in the real world.
    There is big difference in what the computer says & actual fuel consumption.
    Curious as to whether you actually test the fuel consumption at the fuel bowser instead of what is on the onboard computer?

    Is it just the camera making the gap between the steering wheel and its shroud? Looks bigger than on most cars. While not something we really see it might be something to show true conversion quality. I love it. I have no issues with them as long as people are using them for what they are made for. If just living in the inner city then it's a bad joke but if you live in the country or do a lot of trips outside of the city and if you need to tow then they are the perfect vehicle. The torque output is amazing for a 3.5L turbo petrol engine. When you look at great ford engines like the Barra turbo engines even in FPV specs it produced over 100NM less torque than what this engine is putting out.

      Yep
      Obviously these r much cheaper in USA
      The RRP here, needs to cover -
      Shipping to Australia
      Exchange rate
      Ford Australia feasibility and R & D costs etc
      Cost of conversion to RHD here in Australia
      Ford is using a company called “ RMA “ to do the conversion.
      RMA ain’t doing the work for free..
      Warranty here is
      5 years / unlimited mileage
      Ford Australia say RMA can convert 20 vehicles per day.
      In theory, that’s 5,000 vehicles per year, that ALL of these costs need to be absorbed into
      Hence
      The high price here

      Ford only offers the regular cab in the lowest trim level (XL) in the F150. Australia isn't getting that low a trim level. It would be difficult to recover the conversion costs on a bottom of the line pickup and the market would be very limited. They do offer the Super Duty regular cab in XL and XLT trims.
