#ford #f150 #review - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
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
This channel is criminally under rated. I would expect most of their videos to have 700k plus views.
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.
I'm almost 2 years into waiting for my order in the US and finally got a build date (F450 King Ranch). It's incredible that you can get a converted truck in Australia in under 3 months.
One thing I take it seriously is noise of just around 67db is way better than most of SUV you tested before. Is very impressive truck. Keep up good work paul, I never miss your videos
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!
Now that's shit customer service. Bet somebodies mate in Ford received yours.
There's a delivery hold on them at the moment anyway, pending a recall.
@stevemicale7843 you dodged a bullet there mate. Don’t be the lab rat for this vehicle, ecoboost engines are the worst for carbon build up and short lifespan. The raptor ecoboosts are already blowing up having engine replacements by 20,000 k’s.
Hi mate had same experience with mustang dark horse ordered Nov 7th 2022 was told I was 12th in line then 6 weeks ago told I missed out.western ford in caroline springs Victoria worst fuckin liers asked to speak to principal dealer tried to contact him 3 times never got back to me
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.
Another wicked review thank you 🙏
I love the F150 IN THAT SPEC AWESOME
Great comments mate Great work 👍
Thanks for the Video mate
Parking it at Coles would represent a real world challenge.
Not with the camera systems in these (US Pikups in general)
Yes, one parked behind me, it blocked my car boot from opening, had to move my car forward to load my groceries
Consideration of other motorists is not an issue when you drive these.
I'd be more concerned about driving through Thirsty Camel lol. I've seen an F250 do it so surely an F150 can lol
I do all the time in a bigger 2500, not exactly a challenge let alone a real world challenge.
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
one nice looking rig and towing ability that cant be matched by smaller dual cabs so its no wonder the popularity of these now
My dealership priced the blue LWB at $148,400 drive away. I’ve purchased it and can’t wait for it to arrive.
When I do the conversion to USD it seems expensive (I'm paying slightly more for an F450 KR). Then I consider the cost of the RHD conversion and it isn't that bad.
Driving f150 king ranch witch is not available in Australia, for 5 years , 2016 model and recently bought 2023 model with naturally spirited 5.0 , it is amazing truck drove more than 150000 miles during 5 years and the only problem I had was changing battery in my old f150 , power delivery , style and fuel economy is awesome, take care of it and it’ll take care of you
Paul, can you get the GVM Upgrade numbers? They are substantial.
A few other American Ford imports that may do well in Australia would be the Ford Bronco (shares with the Ranger), the Bronco Sport, and the Maverick(both share with the Escape). It would be interesting to see how they fare down under.
Just an interesting thing I noticed, but check out the gap between the back of the steering wheel and the steering column shroud @16:00. My eyes were drawn straight to it!
Please do the ZR2 Silverado 1500 its the best combo out of all of them.
I would love to own this truck ❤
Hey Paul, whens the new model 3 2024 review coming out? @carexpert
17:18 - is that a gear selector on the wheel at the bottom of the freeze frame there?
Ordered one in February. Dealer discovered water leak in mine and their showroom model. They showed vehicle and where water was building up in right hand sill. Ford engineers looked into it and came up with solution to problem. Delivery in early December delayed. Ford has fixed problem. Delivery date was then changed to 20th December. On 18th December had phone call saying all deliveries have been suspended by Ford . What is going on?
Really? That's crazy. Let me look into this.
Your dropping a whole lot of $ on some chop shop Guinea pig from Ford you’ve got bigger balls than me pal coz I’d be nervous as hell 😂
@@CarExpertAus There is a stop-sale due to the RH turbocharger.
Built Ford tough 💪 😂
Thank you Paul!
Could you please tell us how many airbags a car has under the safety section.
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. I had a Scion xB run into my rear bumper doing about 40 mph more than I was doing. Destroyed the Scion and scratched my (Ram 2500) hitch receiver. I barely felt the collision.
Be interesting to see how Toyotas version goes. More power and hybrid.
Ford have stopped production due to safety concerns apparently.
Was told mine would be ready about Christmas but that has passed.
I wonder what the issues are that they’ve found ?
Looks great thanks
Ordered mine in the King Ranch trim with the long wheel base. Looking to do some towing/hauling. Got an email saying the production is delayed. Thanks for the video. Gives me an idea on what it can do.
KRs are hard to get. I have been waiting almost 2 years and finally got a build date for an F450 KR.
@@rich7447 Interesting. Just changed my order to an F350. Hopefully it wont take that long. Been monitoring the weekly production schedule and they seem to be moving along steadily. I am in the states.
@@Lumpschlevot I'm in Maryland. A F350 or F450 would cost a fortune in Australia. Not that $100k is not a lot of money for a truck, but $300k or $400k is just insane.
King Ranch are just so tough to get for some reason. Add that trim to the F450 and wait times are ridiculous.
Australia should get the HDs. The Ram and Ford HDs would be easier to convert the steering and the HDs are far more durable.
I built and priced one of these (the exact same spec, colour and wheelbase) last night - $152,188 drive away in NSW
Hey Paul, all the F150's have been recalled. Something to do with the turbo hose? not telling owners much and no idea when delivery will be! Disappointing way to start the release really.
Looking into this now!
They have a stop sale, not a recall.
I have one and no contact for recall or to stop driving it.
@@ScottyNorth we have one too, it’s sitting at the dealer and no pickup allowed! This was ordered 6 months ago and everything is ready to go.
@@xXKingeyXx thankfully mine is in my garage. I hope you get yours asap!
So May i ask this one is the Silver one or Gray
What colour is the truck in this video? Is this Silver or Grey?
Would love to see a drag race between the Ranger Raptor and this...
The really impressive vehicle is the F250 with the high output diesel. The 0 to 60 time is around 5.5 seconds for a close to 7,000 lb vehicle.
im guessing the window opens over the tub?
It uses the Ranger Raptor steering rack, the whole thing, not just the motor. Ranger rack with F150 tie rod ends
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.
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?
Thanks Frank!
@@CarExpertAus Apologies Paul, always get your name mixed up with your partner in crime.
Greatest vehicle in the world.
The turn signals sticking on - I think that is the lane change feature. If you just tap the signal stalk up or down, but don't fully click it in, it will flash the indicators whatever way for a few seconds for a lane change.
I would love to see them bring the PowerBoost over here. But knowing Ford and their overzealous pricing structure, it'd be priced at over $160k.
And the small payload is to compensate for our 4.5t licencing requirements.
Paul. You hardly ever have a close up of the heater controls. Something buyers really would like to see as they vary significantly across models and manufacturers. (as you well know). Oh and I suppose it has stupid left hand indicators.
6.2 meters long..so approx 60cm longer than a standard Australian carpark at any of the malls dotting our country. Just wow.
Run along Kazza.
These don't fit in our environment but its widely known that those who buy them don't think about think about others. me me me
@@t288msd What environment? The road we share with trucks? The vast touring we can/need to do between capital cities? Heavy loads that need towing? Opinions like yours are exactly why I take 2 car spaces wherever possible👍
@@craigdavid6668trucks aren’t used as commuter vehicles that people attempt to park at woolies in the customer lot.
@@king-pn4bj Yeah, Woolies was inundated with F-150s and the like last time I checked😂
I gare that gear shifter what were they thinking? Not only does it look garbage its probably gonna break. Paddles shifters would have been so much better.
Ordered the blue LWB Lariat last week. Yet to hear delivery ETA (no doubt due to the issue they have with the conversion
Hope you get it soon. I ordered an F450 almost two years ago and only got a build date last week.
@@rich7447 wow a 450! That'll be special
@@thefinancealliance2562 There are quite a few F450 pickups in my area, but not a lot are 2022 through 2024 model years.
Do you review the Alfa Romeo Tonale 2024 ? Thanks
No we won't be reviewing it.
4:40 is the ruler in the tailgate in metric?
Probably both since it is sold in the US and Canada.
Both metric and inches most tape measures are both as wel.
Love it. Brings back memories of my old F100 4x4 and F250 4x4 back in the 70's. V8 magic could go anywhere. No problem on bushy narrow tracks, just go over bushes. Oh man, need some timetravel device😂😂😂
from the us and boy does that look strange with the interior flipped from what we have it lol
That gross weight law in Australia is a killer. It’s safer to haul around people and things in a vehicle like this rather than with a light vehicle to avoid the law.
Good review Paul can you do the GMC YUKON and next generation Nissan Patrol I like to know more about both of than
Such a nice truck! I wish i could afford one these days
The trailer control thing kills me! If you move your hand from the top of the wheel to the bottom of the wheel you can steer like you are backing the truck up without the trailer and the trailer responds like the back of the truck would.
I have no issues parallel parking a 53' trailer without trailer control.
New review alert
Are there any economy benefits using higher grade fuels? Any chance of another vid, like the performance vid?
There are slight economy benefits, but 91 is the most cost effective. 95 or 98 will never save enough fuel to justify the extra cost.
Long term testing in my Ranger raptor shows an about 8% fuel consumption increase when switching to 91 instead of 98, with about 10% cheaper fuel, so you save maybe 2%, but with the decrease in performance. I don't think it's worth it for such a small fuel saving. Might just set the cruise to 103 instead of 106 on the freeway and you'll save the same, and stay on 98.
"decent amount of payload" is a big overstatement with these American trucks. ~700 kg given it's size is incredibly poor.
It would be good in a Ford mondeo (that had like ~630 kg of payload the last time a drove one).
Good point. Ford ranger is 900 kilos right? If I'm not mistaken. And I think that's a lil smaller than this f150.
Not impressed
@@praetor-009 my hilux has 920kg including a 75kg driver so 995kg.
These tow more but the payloads are hilarious.
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
@@jacksonwelch9870 I have loaded 600 kg in a mondeo without any dramas. Same with my hilux, works just fine.
If I would drive maxed out 100% of the time it needs heavier leafs though.
Atm I'm a round 500kg all the time without issues.
@@praetor-009 The GWM cannon has 1000kg payload too.
Where would you park that when you go shopping
3:47 *F150 lettering 😊
Bounce 🏀 bounce
Nice review I wounder if the top speed limiter can be removed because if I do decide to spend that kind of insane money I want to go 300km bare minimum 😊
Please review the Nissan Titan
Is it ever not raining at that testing ground.
We have the worst luck!
Is the 2024 better than the 2023?
This one is a 2023. It's not the redesign for 2024
F250 V8 Diesel Great tow vehicle.
Se estiver dentro de suas possibilidades, mande uma para mim de presente de natal. Moro no Brasil. É um sonho de infância ter e cuidar bem de uma bela F-150. 🙌👍🤠
Review of Toyota fortuner 4.0 v6
Thing is though most people that can afford a van that’s 4.5t isn’t going for a 150 they would have a f250,350. It’s the perfect Ute to tow a 2.5-3.5 van easily
So they limit it in Australia 4 tons but if it's equipped with the right package it can pulls 7 tons but that one you have there. in the US is rated to pull 6 tons it's still nice
Pretty sure it’s capped over the licence requirements
@@medz3398yea it’s a shame. Much safer to tow with a full size truck than a crossover or car.
You would have to have no self preservation instincts to pull 7 metric tons with a F150. That is more that I would be comfortable towing with an F250 and I have towed trailers with gross weights over 45000 lbs.
Why aren't we talking about the terrible gear box
Love your reviews
Shame the 10r80 wasn't mentioned
Please you tube this before purchasing this
And US trucks sells Ram on in South Africa 🇿🇦 😭 I'm jealous of Australia 🇦🇺
I wonder if Ford will bring these F-150's over here in N.Z to compete with the Ram 1500 and Silverado 1500.
If you are lucky they will skip the F150 and import Super Duty trucks.
@@rich7447 We already have the Ram and Silverado HD's available as well, so that would be great too!
@@dallasfrost1996 That's great to hear. I loved my Ram 2500, but it was not really capable of what I wanted it to do. It was only rated to tow about 15,000 lbs and the payload rating was on the lighter end. I really should have bought the 3500 back in 2010. Now I have a Super Duty (F450) ordered.
I asume that driving a overloaded vehicle is not an issue in usa... (like in many other countries)
why no single cab ?
Because they're just for show offs.
So. Essentially, the RHD conversion is USD40K. Big price to pay for being in a RHD market. Imagine you could get yourself a pretty good crew cab Isuzu truck 4x4 for a lot less even if you include the 2k for a MR licence.
But if we're being fair dinkum people are really buying these for reasons to do with image rather than for towing.
Wow, you are really getting hosed with the price! I ordered an F150XL new for 2022 out the door at 37k and change! Keep an eye out for the recalls!!
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
🤷🏻♂️
@@StephenFogarty2023 The price in Australia is not bad all things considered.
Australia really should get more of this instead of the shitbox rangers
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.
Love this vehicle it's the absolute polar opposite of the vomitron/Tesla 😅
That gap between the steering wheel and the dash…is it meant to be that big?
Does ANYONE really care how soft the interior surface is.
I like your reviews, they are genuine and seem well researched but seriously, who has ever cared about the soft touch bits in a car?
Hp and torque?
400 hp 410 torque on the 5.0 v8
Baller.
wouldn't they sell a ton more of these things with a diesel in it ?
Diesels are not viable in the US on vehicles with a GVM/GVWR of under 8,501 lbs due to EPA regulations. If you want a diesel they need to work on importing F250 through F450. All have the 6.7 Powerstroke in standard and high output.
@@rich7447 There was an F150 with a 3 litre power stroke diesel. What happened to that ?
@@rw20000 Ford killed it. Ram did the same with the Eco-Diesel, so there is only the 3L Duramax left and GM is having to work very hard to keep it. Even Nissan dropped the 5L Cummins. It's just too tough to meet the regulations for the class 1 and class 2A vehicles.
There's not an angle on the screen. Ford AUS have confirmed this. No idea what you guys are talking about with that one...
its not the end of the world, BUT in America its cheaper and full of features made for left-hand side use. for this price tag, I am expecting the same not less.
Ur gunna need a bigger hat there son !!! 😂
Ur Gunna need a bigger wallet for ongoing maintenance.
@@buncha5651 1/2 ton maintenance is relatively cheap.
Payload payload payload. Piss poor. These are a runabout vehicle in the US not a tow vehicle.
Half ton truck right 500 kg
That's nuts...as quick as a Golf GTI but weighs as much as a house hahaha
It weighs less than a ranger. It’s smaller than a transit van and many other vehicles as well. Idk why people act like it’s so ridiculously large.
@@raymonds7492 Agreed. This is an entry level full size pickup.
The coyote v8 not begin an option is a major deal breaker, who wouldn't want to have the same as a Mustang and the xr8's over some gutless v6
That “gutless” V6 has more power and more torque than the V8.
@@tonyn1991 literally doesn't but ok
@@maltainu3621 ok, so power is the same, but the V6 has a lot more torque, and at much lower revs.
@@tonyn1991 doesn't matter its not a v8
@@maltainu3621 of course it matters. The V8 is a high revving performance engine, not a high torque engine which is what’s needed for towing. A good engine for the Mustang, not a pickup truck.
Driver says, ''hey honey/buddy/son, can you punch into the keypad 67,98,34,56 and 33 to unlock the doors..''
Them, 'gives a blank stare...'
These are made for spacious American road networks not Australian narrow pothole roads.
Ever seen a road train? A B Double perhaps? Even a normal semi trailer? A Bus?
It’s a Ford. Make sure you budget for the inevitable multiple warranty claims, break downs, and recalls.
Isn't this a 2023 model?
Finally
@paulmauric Ram or F150? Can we make the call yet? Comparison coming on?
Comparison coming next year :-)
@@CarExpertAus as in three days. 😂
No one tests these in an urban environment , but why?😅
Coz they're not practical granted most people who buy these trucks never take them off road
@@calebwany8422they’re not really off road vehicles. They’re tow vehicles. Having said that, their low payload seriously compromises their towing capability.
@@tonyn1991 so they can't even tow, they can't off-road, why don't those who buy this trucks just get a regular estate or hatchback or crossover?
@@calebwany8422 I wouldn’t buy one. They are very roomy-maybe they want the room. Normal cars make more sense to me
All these beautiful big American trucks are converted to right-hand drive...have look at what the Americans say about ownership after a couple of years especially electrical problems.
Do you think the conversion would make these problems better or worse.
Thats not a 2024, thats a 23. They got a small redesign for 24
Yup.
You should review the new Tesla Model 3 and also the Performance version when it comes out
look for a XLT low opt truck = more payload and towing
Those tyres are not give the truck a fair shake to show what it can really do in 4 wheel drive mode.
