Is ford or nothing
You're learning about Ford F150s in case you ever get one ;) Knowledge is power and insomnia is a pain in the ass :)

I learned another one the other day. When putting your code to get in on your door press 5 after to open your tailgate.
Finally! A Ford Dealer Salesperson who can properly explain useful features and solve a few mysteries, like the overhead sensors. Thank you! It seams as though my local Ford dealership likes to keep these things a secret or they just don't know either. Do 2020 F150's get OTA updates? Did they change engine parameters? Suddenly, my MPG has increased by 1-2 mpg. Also, the lane keeping warning has changed? The steering wheel used to vibrate when I was close to the fog line, now it doesn't. I haven't changed the settings. My truck goes in for service next week. I'll ask them to look at it. Thanks again!
One more feature most do not know about. You can open your tailgate with the door keypad. Hit the last button again. So key code is 5 buttons and 6 is the gate. Ex: 12345 opens doors. 123455 opens gate and doors
Top things you might not know about your Ford...
1. Smart Key slots & retrieve your door code 2:13
2. Changing your door code 6:14
3. Overhead console sensor 8:56
4. Radio on/off feature 10:30

6. Program your remote for seat memory 11:53

Very nice. Appreciate it.
Also smart key can limit speed and even radio stations, volume ect. To limit teenage drivers on what they can do. So they can focus on driving. Where the key holster is
What years though
@@oklahoma64866 MOST of these features are for 2015 and later but some work features like 2,6 and 8 work for older trucks too
@@aliandbuddy great point
I have owned my 2018 f150 lariat for 3 years now and each time I see your video I learn something new about my vehicle. Thank you for being so informative and keep them coming.
I have driven Fords for many years, and currently own a 2017 F-250 Lariat Super-Duty. I learned a number of really good things from this video! Thank you sir, and I look forward to watching more.
awesome, glad my video was informative! Thanks for watching!
This is my 3rd Lariat. (Different Vehicles in between) I always come back to this particular Truck.
This Gentleman gave a lot of valuable info I had no knowledge of.
These suggestions were very helpful, especially using the secret locations to find the manufacturer codes and to start your vehicle with a dead smart. Jorge was very helpful on a 2018 F150 Lariat with bench seat.
Thank you!
Double click the unlock and then hold the button for 4 seconds and your windows will go down and to put them up do the same thing with the lock button
thank you
Mine doesn’t do that…
@@MPLSJDUB mine either. The function is there but it has to be turn on via Ford software.
You hit the nail right on the head with this video Jorge!! Good informative video!! 👍👍
AWESOME! Thank you!
One thing about Drive Modes. An interesting feature is that when driving in 4 Automatic, after you get to highway speeds, the truck disengages the front wheels until you give it sufficient throttle to kick it back into 4WD. While in "snow wet mode" it never fully disengages the front wheels. It sends less power to them, but they stay engaged even at highway speeds.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks, I never read my manual yet. Cool stuff!
Jorge,
Man I've watched so many videos and this one has been the best. Thank you so much for educating us on some of these features that i had no idea about. Thanks again man and have a blessed day.
Wow, thanks! Thank you for stopping by and watching!
Awesome tips, Jorge! I'm getting a 2017 F150 soon and so so excited!
Very informative I needed to retrieve my door code from my recent purchase of my used 2018 f-150 thank you!!!
Thanks for the vid I learned a lot. I picked up a 2018 F150 Lariat 5.0 earlier today.
Great job Jorge , just picked up a 2019 f150 lariat , appreciate you supporting american jobs & products , God Bless You !
Thanks Jorge this video was very informational and made me feel more comfortable with speaking with customers about features.
Awesome! Glad it helped! Happy selling! 😀
Great information!! I will sure try these tips out! I’m always so excited when I get a new vehicle that sometimes I don’t listen as close as I should to the salesman. 😬
As a first time user, all 8 tips are super Worthy 👍🏼
Great to hear! Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks my friend, I no you took a lot of your time to show us the hidden features. Than you you are blessed..
You missed a couple k's and a w. 🙂
Great video. Picking up my 2019 King Ranch on Monday. These tips are fantastic
I just upgraded to a Lariet and I love how it handles and as for dimming the display lighting, there are two buttons on right side of the knob to turn your head lights on to dim the brightness and vise versa. Thanks for the tips, especially the drive mode.
Wow! I didn’t know a lot of these features about my f150! Thank you Gorge!
You are welcome! GLAD this video helped!
Not on ALL
Thanks for the video. Coming from a long line of owning toyotas i can say im happy with my Ford 150. Never going back.
Thank you and don't forget to subscribe 😀
Just bought a new 2020 F150 Platinum, (Blue Jeans) and this is great. The info here has taught me things about my new truck that I never would have known otherwise. Thanks.
Great video, Jorge! I learned a lot about my truck, thanks!
Thank Jorge. I just got a 2018 F150 and wondered what those sensors were (#3)! LOL. I also didn't know about #4 or #8. Awesome video dude. Very helpful.
Thanks!
Just got home with my new 2019 Ford Edge Titanium model 301A......LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Did NOT know about the goodies in the glove box. Will play with your tips tomorrow. You know one thing Ford has fallen down on - that is auto mirror in/out. Granted I can do that on my (driver's) side, but not gonna walk around to do it on the passenger. Not that I'm that lazy, but with my luck, I'd get back to drive and realize it was still closed up. To me, personally, I will sure miss that - it was on our 2010 F150 King Ranch which I traded in. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Great video BTW and very helpful. Subscribed and looking forward to others.
You can likely add this with a simple forscan programming change.
Great Info. Learned a lot
This was very helpful. Thank you.
Bro, the video was GREAT! I learned a few things about my 2019 F150 King Ranch that I didn't know.....Thanks
Man this guy is good and honest makes me want to buy a truck from him
As usual, good video and thank you for your enthusiasm., will never see that in SoCal. One quick thing that I use all the time. On the external key pad, when you unlock the car from it, it only opens the drivers door. Hit the 3-4 button within 3 seconds and all the doors will open.
Thanks and yes when I read editing the video it dawned on me that I didn't say that little trick of the 3-4 button
I didn't know that one either. I just set mine to unlock all doors from the settings
Your tips were very helpful for my Lariat. Thank you so much.
Just bought a Ford F150 platinum 2018. This video was unbelievably helpful. Thank you.
Thanks, very helpful.....love my F150
Great!
Thanks for the well-made tips video Jorge. It was very informative and I learned several new things I wasn't aware of for my new 2019 Ford F-450 Limited. On the F-450 model, the key fob program slot is below the center console tray that is just to the right of the drivers right leg. I need to lift up one insert and a rubber pad to access it, but it's simple enough to find and use. I really liked the interior of your truck too. That color scheme just seems to make you feel at home when your inside the truck and it never gets old in my humble opinion. Just a suggestion, you may want to get some kind of lens shroud for the camera as there were a couple times where it was difficult to see what you were demonstrating. It was still visible, but not clearly. Looking forward to more videos like these.
thank you very much for the feedback and will take that into consideration. And congratulation on your new F450 bad to the bone Limited! ENJOY!
Love my 2019 f250 Limited the interior is why I went with the Limited
The best one I have found so far. Very informative. Very much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
I really wish you were my salesman when I bought a new F150. I’ve had it for four years and I didn’t know half of the stuff you showed in this video LOL. Good job and thanks for your information.
Glad to help, maybe next time?!?😀
I designed the machine that assembles the AGS for the 2020 models. VERY cool feature specially when you are not going far in the winter and need some heat quick! Good video thanks. We are trading our 2017 for a 2019 this weekend. Can't wait to try these tips.
AGS ? Is this like auxiliary electric heat? ....🤔 wonder if my 2018 can be modded for it..
I love and hate watching videos like this. Love them because they are so informative and awesome. Hate them because it makes me wanna go out and buy a new F-150. Ha Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you!
I just picked me up a 2014 f150 fx4 limited with. A 6.2v8 and love it
Just purchased my first F150 Lariat today! Thanks for the tips!
Great video didn't know you could change the seat position and all that with the remote control
Thanks I always wondered what those inside alarm sensors were.
Another cool gadget is when you use your windshield sprayer the front camera washer pops out and sprays the cam lens also
I have a Platinum and don’t use the door code ever. You can unlock by touching the inside of door handle and press the little black button to lock as long as your key fob is in your pocket.
I use my door code when I need to get something out of or put something in the car & I don't have my key, like at work or in the garage at home. You open the door and not have to go back and get the key.
never knew about the cam washer. that’s pretty cool
very useful.....thanks for your kind effort to help us know about F150 ..God bless you with success, love,good health and long peaceful life
Ah jeez... I should have found your video a few days ago! We were away from the house and the FOB died on our push button start 2014 Explorer. Being a guy, I only looked in the manual as a last resort - taking a hit to my manhood in the process. Found the little rack in the console to set the key fob in so it would start. Loved the video - thanks for the tips! 🤠
My 2019 F150 Lariat 502A has ambient lighting, it's under the 'Vehicle' settings in the infotainment system. You can adjust brightness but cannot change the colors like you could with previous years.
MY 2017 KING RANCH F350 YOU CAN PICK THE COLOUR YOU WANT AS AMBIANT LIGHT
#1 feature I left the lot NOT knowing about = The shift knob up/down selector lets you adjust how many gears the trans uses and turns on/off the gear display (you want this on to see what gear your in).
so for example are you saying you can make sure you don't shift out of 2nd gear?
Just saw that on my 18 i just picked up. Whats the difference? keep it at say 5 for towing? Any good reasons to change. Sorry just realized this is a year old but maybe youll see & tell me about the experience you had doing that
Great job!!!!!!! I have a 2017 I just purchased used and all the things you talked about are a huge help. Thanks Jorge.
Great to hear!
Very informative. Thanks for sharing. I learn something new from all your videos.
you are so welcome!
Amazing video man, I REALLY WANT A F150 NOW over any truck or car right now. Team King Ranch
At your service if you have any questions
King ranch ftw
Don’t forget the secret lever to flip the backseats down. Can be used to mount ham radios, gun racks and more.
Where is it? I been looking
@@clintnelson9906 it’s under the rear seats
Where???
@@Davidblaine18 behind the drivers rear. Upper side. There is a latch that you have to reach and pull a pin to unlock it. If you list the bottom of the seat it gives you more hand/reach room. I used used the open end of a box wrench to grab it and pull...
@@robbgam thanks
Loved the video! Great info that wasn't passed on to me from my salesman that should of been. If you do this kind of presentation for your customers, I do believe you will do quite well! Now of to make some adjustments as soon as I save this video
Thanks Jorge! Great info.
There is actually ambient lighting in the settings! It's a wonderful feature.
Where
@@tankdome37 you actually have to go deeper in the menu on the sync 3. It's there under vehicle settings.
You can change settings for day/night but can’t change actual color
@@MPLSJDUB yeah it sux. My 2015 had color change options, but my 2020 doesn't. Why not Ford? 😆🙃
You had me at tip number 1 lol very informative.
Thank you!
Great Video, I just recently purchased a New 2022 F350 Lariat. So this Vid was very informative to me. Thanks
Wow! just learned alot about my 2020 F150. Thank you!
I have a 2019 Ranger Lariat 4X4 super crew , are there anything hidden on my truck?
They made them in Mexico for a long time in case you didn't know
I wish someone would make a video of all the features of the touch screen on the F-150, I'm still accidentally finding out things it does. just learned it plays DVD video's, and didn't know I had a feature like jukebox.
Try this video I made. I hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/tA870p0E_TY/w-d-xo.html
Dude you Rock!! I wish I had seen your video last year. I purchased a 2018 F-150 Platinum and needed to get the factory door code and the dealership charged me $90 to retrieve it!!!
Thanks for educating me on my new ride!
Any time!
I had a f150 with ambient lighting 2017 lariat brand new
2019 F150 - Lariat also has ambient lighting
My 2018 f150 lariat has ambient lighting
They do have ambient lighting in the settings.
"DO NOT PRESS THE BRAKE!!!" 😂
Thanks Jorge, just purchased a ford truck yesterday. This video did some justice
Love the Video man! Just got my 2019 Lariat and this helped me figure it all out. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it helped! THanks for stopping by!
When you are on a Bluetooth call and shut the truck off the radio won’t timeout till you hang up. Learned that the other day.
Or it will turn off the radio when the truck is off and you open the door. The call will be transferred to the cell phone at that time
If I'm on a call as I approach the truck and I start the truck, it will forget the Bluetooth link and I have to relink the phone and truck or it won't work. PITA.
I have a “17 F150 Lariat Supercab and I have Ambient lighting AND I can change it to 6 different colors on my screen and also adjust the brightness.
My 2015 Taurus AWD Limited has the ambient lighting too! I love it!
I do miss the ambient lighting. Now the only color available is an ice blue. Miss the red 😔
I got it on my 2020 xlt sport super crew!
Honestly wasn't expecting to watch the whole video but actually really enjoyed it! You also have a blessed day sir
Awesome. Thanks for stopping by!
Really enjoyed this! Very professionally done. Good audio, was able to hear the presentation.
Nicely done!
Much appreciated!
I have an 18 platinum, the ambient lighting needs to come back!
They actually do have ambient lighting. I found it in the settings! I love the touch of nice interior lighting at night time.
@@1knowleelliott in the 2018 platinum?
I actually do have ambient lighting on my 2019 King Ranch.
Casey Jones I have it also on my 18 Lariat. It is under each persons floor and even the cup holders. Maybe it’s because I have the 502a package. Not sure.
Me too
Best video
Thank you .I just bought a used f150 in Michigan and had no idea of some of these features.
I just purchased a platinum....did know most of this. Nice job!
In my 2016 f150 I can change the ambient lighting colours.. weird they took that feature out.
How do you change them? Just got a 2016
GM has had that radio feature for well over a decade . I love how ford cheaps out on their best selling vehicle I have an 2018 F150 XLT Sport paid $60K can’t even get led headlights and tail lights but you can on a $30k Hyundai.
2019 f-150 XLt Fx4 with whatever sport package long bed sprayed liner .. paid 46 ... you got ripped off big time
You didnt really pay 60 K. For 150 xlt. Anybody can get on the ford web site and build one for far less. I paid 42k xlt 4x4
Stuart N no I didn’t pay that much but it was the sticker price Trucks are far less in the states then in Canada 🇨🇦
pahuntnut I didn’t pay that but it was the sticker price.are you in Canada or the USA truck prices are a lot different.
steven tomlinson ah okay we’ll line sticker was 55 so damn i thought you paid 60 for it.
Incredibly helpful. THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful!
This video was great. I just brought a Ford F150 2019 that the dealer did not have the keyless entry code, your video showed me how to retrieve it. Thank you..
Why mess around retrieving the door code when it’s in the fuse panel by your feet
*settings > playback speed > 1.5 > you're welcome
Super informative. Thanks.
Just bought a 2018 Lariat, I just learned a lot. Awesome video. Thank you for posting this.
Right on!
Those shutters are just to let the engine warm up faster in colder temperatures. Nothing to do with aerodynamics.
Some people are not smart
Thanks for this video I’m a first time ford owner this was very helpful
very useful info jorge good work thanks
I hate long intros 2 minutes 10 seconds long
Very nice, Jorge. Makes me want to upgrade my 2014.
I’ve been a Jeep/ol square body Chevy guy for awhile. My daughter changed my mind about Ford trucks and Santa got me a 18 xlt for Xmas and not totally there yet but this video definitely pushed me into it more. Thank you. P.s last Ford I had was a 77 ranchero with a 460 out of a Lincoln
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I just picked up a used 2017 F150; which it does have ambiant lighting; this video has help a lot on learning differnt features i never knew about.
awesome! Glad it helped. Thanks for stopping by
Great video I’m still learning with my 2020 Ford
I like it to upgrade the screen radio ?
Thank you!! Having just purchased one Used this Video is giving me tons of information!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for visiting the channel!
TOCAYO! Great video!! I learned so much about my new 150!!!! Keep up the great work, you know your stuff.
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for all the great Info
Thank you did not know about setting the seat with the remote and did not know about the vents on the front grill. I have a 2018 Lariat 3.5. And loving it! Going to look at those 2 items! Thanks again for the fideo
Cool glad it helped!
Very Informative...Thanks
Good content sir, I appreciate it
Excellently done video, very comprehensive, IF you happen to have an F-150 Platinum, which i don't!
Mine is an FX4 Sport with 302A package, which has a couple of these features, maybe 1 or 2.
