- Despite the F-150’s sales leadership Ford continues to innovate their full-size pickup truck. Combining lightweight aluminum construction and a range of powerful engines with countless bed, cab, and equipment choices there is an F-150 for all needs and budgets. In this video Kelley Blue Book’s Micah Muzio commands the latest F-150 to see if it deserves its status as the king of pickup trucks.

I had to go back and watch that 0:30 to 1:00 camera transition. Nice job! I love the creativity.
Thanks, Nate!
I highly recommend the 5.0 with the 10-speed.
Man O War Just bought one.... So far, it’s miles ahead of my 2015 with 5.0 and 6 speed.... I totally recommend the combo u do!!!
@@pajamatime5750 how is the steering compared to the 2015?
I would have preferred the 3.5EB since I tow 6500 pounds.
Is it burning oil?
The 5.0 was changed for 2018.Now it is a oil burner. Google this issue.
the camera work in this one is especially on point! Specifically from 40 seconds to the minute mark was really nicely done! Great work KBB
Thanks Joshua!!
My family has never purchased a pickup but after spending some time in a F150 we are going to buy one. They are the best
I bought an F150 XLT super crew shadow black 3.3 L V6 XTR package just 3 months ago and I'm so impressed with its power,efficiency and comfort for its size even though I choose only a base engine. I also liked its 4x4 system which is perfectly fit for the slippery and snowy roads here in Alberta,Canada.
Love the fact they upload stuff the very beginning of the year
Camilo Gomez Keep lol it’s just because it’s Monday. But I love these guys.
F-150 is a great truck! I had it for two years when I worked in construction in some really rough conditions - It's great on gravel roads, mud, snow, etc. and the interior just works well!
bought the Ford f 150 crew cab lariat sport 4x4 6.5 long box, tow package with push button starter, panoramic sun roof, full heated leather seats,center gear shift, remote starter, remote soft rail gate opener, full blue HD lights with hd fog lights, 20 inch wheels,beautiful step bar, good space inside, big led screen,hd channel radio and sirex radio, auto wi fi, cd player, led lights inside, ac,dc power outlets and USB spots with Bluetooth also Navigation , blind spot sensor, 360 D back up camera collision alert ,B&O digital sound system,rear power window, everything power adjustments seats and steering, lifetime bed liner and Tonneau cover. double grill face,magnetic gray color tinted glass windows,5 seats,8 cup holder, soooo luxury truck.This truck is enough to keep forever. Everyone loves my truck.expensive,beautiful,great for working and family. Ford is the legend,Ford is built for tough. I am 100% satisfy this truck. Even though this is expensive i recommend this to everybody! Thanks, Sincerely - Noushad
I also recommend the 2.7. I've got a 2017, just hit 10K miles, and this thing is a freaking blast to drive, comfortable to be in, and super capable!! When I step on it I definitely make my Toyota and Chevy guys at work jealous!!! Especially since I get like 21 mixed mpg!
Well duh it gets the same mpg as a V8 when towing. Anytime those snails are spinning it's gonna suck fuel. The difference is that when I'm NOT towing I don't have to live with the 17 mpg that my buddy's 2016 Tundra gets all the time.
What kind of moron would ever want a 4.30 rear end?? And I'm not worried about the "plumbing", after 7 years of putting turbos in their trucks, we would have heard about frequent turbo failures, especially considering Ford sells almost a million trucks a year. Plus, the turbos are BorgWarner, so they're some of the best available. There are dudes out there with 200K on the 2.7, and lots of people have hit 300K with the 3.5. I'm not saying everyone's experience will be the same, but these engines are holding up pretty dang well.
Was recently at a Ford dealer in Houston, TX. I swear out of 2 full rows of F-150's, they were all literally $55-70k. And none were even Raptors. I don't see a raptor being $55k unless pre-owned.
CarterBurtonMotorsportsDotCom were you at MacHaik? Pricey dealer in the edge of a swanky zip code.
00:20 I see you
07:33 I see you
Hahah!
How about me do you see me? lol
Doug is a type of guy ... oh forgot wrong channel
That was funny like a year ago. Please stop.

One of the best full size pick up truck.
It's so... American.
The Ram 1500 is Murican.
ibkillah sadly
+Daniel Issel Owned by an Italian company and made in Mexico, real 'Murican.
You guys realize that all cars, even American cars, are most likely mainly built of foriegn parts or whatever. I think it's super closed minded to say I only buy "American" as it's not really American. I think a Tundra is the most American while if I'm remembering correctly. It's a global economy. Why do we kid ourselves with loyalties that only serve to support sometimes I forget products. I will never understand it.
I agree.
We love our '15 2.7tt XLT version with the 6 speed auto; now over 50k miles on it, great for road trips and city traffic alike. The only annoying feature was the Start-Stop which I deactivated manually every start, until I learned it can be disabled permanently by jumping two wires in the back of the on/off switch.
Ok but the camera work for the interior starting at 0:34 was impressive
I just got the F150 platinum 4x4. It is so sick. You can start the truck from your iPhone X via the app. The biggest lie is 26 mph. Best I have gotten is 21.5 on the New Jersey turnpike, 17-19 around town. Electronics are sick with Apple car play. Heated/AC leather seats with massage is da bomb on long drives. The twin turbos are great but the 10 speed trans gets a little mushy with all those gears to go through. All in all. Love it
That ford raptor review is the best job you guys have done so far..
Thank you! Glad you like it 👍🏼
the 2015+ f-150 may be the best looking ford since the mid 70s...also love the early 90s...
"PT Cruiser....I'm sorry" - LOL
When I first saw it, I was iffy about the headlights. But after seeing them more, I like it.
Good job Ford.
To be honest, I love this car.. I will buy mine in the near future..
This truck is the best for 2018. It looks the best and it’s ford. Quality. Precision. Excellence.
I love my 2018 F 150. The 2.7 litre turbo is a great engine with lots of power and great fuel economy. (25% better than my 2014 5.0l F-150). Two things I'm not fond of is the little emergency break switch. No more pedal. The other thing is Ford needs to redesign the tailgate a little, it has an inward swoop if you look closely. It means when you go through a car wash the brushes don't seem to be able to clean the rear properly. Otherwise it's a fine truck.
I'll take an xlt ecoboost super crew 4x4 with the 6.5 bed please. Love that blue
I fell in love with this beast when I saw my friend's uncle park it outside their house! I came here to see what's it actually like.. And i fell in love even further
While I'm NOT a Ford 'Fan Boy' (or Gal!) Ford offers the most usable features. GM products are good, but for some reason the company refuses to put in many features I want. Like push button start, rear A/C vents, full LED lighting, a 360 degree camera system, blind-spot monitoring, etc. We'll see what the new 2019 Ram offers, but at least with Ford you can option a truck for as much as you want or need.
Do the Silverado and Ram truly not have those things curently?
Hi Alan... I know it's hard to believe but NO they don't! Ram, with the RamBox and cleaver recessed storage areas in the rear cab, has done a much better job than GM integrating technology and innovation into their truck line up. But both manufacturers are WAY behind Ford. I mean Ram is the only manufacturer NOT to have a damped or slow opening tailgate! Really odd! GM offers NO 'in-bed' storage solutions, and NO USB ports for rear set passengers! In 2018... are you kidding me! Ford has cargo ramps that can be stored in the bed of the truck, and taken with you. I think the 2019 Ram's will make big improvements. I'm hoping GM does as well, but I'm not holding my breath. Sorry such a long response, but as a prospective truck buyer it's a bit frustrating why manufacturers take the approach they do. Happy New Year!
Thanks Barbara. It is a bit strange, but Ford is known for its continued innovation processes in many high selling models, so it does kind of make sense why they would be slightly ahead of the game. Both Silverado and Ram will debut a new model soon though, so we'll see how they attempt to even the playing field.
Those options are for kids! Only men drive real trucks!
Gm is far ahead of innovation regarding reliability and always has been! Thats all MEN need!
I have 1999 f150 v6 316k miles
I want a newer truck but mine just keeps on an on and on, what an amazing and reliable truck, when the time come, have to be another f150
Another great review! I am thinking of adding a truck to my channel which is currently about my 2019 Corvette GS experiences. This truck is on my short list! Thanks for posting such a great review
XL trim also has cloth seats available. And try to find a Supercrew with a 6.5' box. You have a better chance of finding a Sasquatch.
Feliz año nuevo muchachos, gracias por todo lo realizado el 2017 y que este año sea muy prospero junto a sus seres queridos
Gracias, Luis. Igualmente.
I have a fully loaded super crew FX4 2013. Freaking love it. Going on 5 years only 41,000 miles. I'm thinking about trading it in on the new one. But there's a part of me that still wants to get the Raptor. I kind of want to see what they do with the raptor next year though.
Rob Soergel what about a used Raptor with the better sounding V8?
No update for raptor in 2018. 2019 will see updates.
Thank
Rob Soergal i would buy your 2013 and give you 1,000 more than the dealership since i'm literally looking for a 2013-14 super crew. 100% serious and located in Ohio would be willing to fly out to where ever you are and buy it cash or bank check whatever you prefer.
Raptor best truck, period. I love driving it, and before I had it I never wanted to drive.
Great video! Getting ready to get a new one and with all those engine options and trim levels the video was very helpful! Love the Blue Oval🏆
I have the 2006 version of the truck in the video. XLT 4x4 Crew Cab 5’ 1/2 bed. The difference is that the one in the video still has more, but is basically the same.
I have a 18 f-150 with the full size doors and short bed.use it for family. i use a 1996 f150 long bed regular cab for work
The truck reviewed here is my dream truck! Could you tell me the package or price? For that specific one?
Anime Addict7 it’s the XLT with the chrome package, and velocity blue color.
It still has a column shifter? I'm sold
Could you try changing the font of the car’s name on the thumbnail? It looks odd alongside the beautiful shot of the car. Great review as always.Keep it up,KBB!
Unfortunately we can't change it at this point, but great feedback for the future. Thanks, Joshua!
I will take a King Ranch edition please.
How the heck did you all do that shot over Micah’s lap to the center cabin thru to the other side?!?
The XLT FX4 3.5 Ecoboost is on my very short list, to be mated to a cabover pop up camper that I'll be traveling in extensively when I retire. I've looked at all the current 1/2 ton trucks, but I keep coming back to the F-150. The new Ram, with its innovative rear suspension and class leading interior, is a very close 2nd. I've never owned either of these trucks, but whatever I choose needs to last 20 years and it will spend a lot of time off-road, so it needs to be well put together. Between the two, I probably trust Ford a little more to last long-term. I like the fact that it's aluminum, a huge plus for longevity and weight, which is important since the lower weight allows more payload capacity for the camper. Anyone have an opinion... F-150 or Ram for hauling a camper and moderately frequent off-roading?
Tell them about the plastic oil pan and leaky drain plugs and how much fun that part is
These are the best trucks in there class.
Built Ford Thicc
This is the only f150 since the 80s id be will to buy.
I saw how you did that magic trick at the end!
Man I can't wait, I'm gonna be looking at one and see what can be done to get me into a truck like this. Will most likely have to get rid of my 08 Dodge RAM but Ford just looks so good and have plenty more options available compared to a Dodge
You forgot to add footage of it in the shop!
Micah is the best journalist of all time!!!😂
That grill tho.. So big. If I was in the market for one, I would want one
Really great review. The best I've seen in my life
This truck looks so beautiful, man. Love it.
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thanks, Michael! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very entertaining video. Thanks!
total weight truck??,'0/60 mph?? mpg?? quarter mile?? etc etc?
It’s good truck. I rented one before going to Utah zion and going home to Las Vegas NV. Fast and stable Ford truck I like it.
I'm a GM guy but have to say the F-150 is a pretty well-rounded truck.
Incorrect regarding the stop/start feature on the F-150. In addition to ANY steering wheel input the vehicle will start when the climate control begins to be affected. In Florida during the summer, it’s rare for the stop/start to stay engaged for long.
I would appreciate the inclusion of as-tested prices in your reviews. Other than that, great job!
I wish Toyota offer a crewmax with a 6.5 bed option.
The 5.0 was changed for 2018.Now it is a oil burner. Google this issue.
Great looking truck
i like the Ford f-150😀😁😂😃😄😅😆😉

Please make the un-official rendering of the 3.5 turbo ( 5:09 ) into a T-shirt.
Did they fix the problem of the doors freezing up in winter? And the touch screen freezing up and having to shut off the truck and restarting it to reboot it? My F150 has been great other than that,but it’s enough I’ll not buy another for a while
soft drop tailgate is standard on the Lariat and up ....why didn;t you say that ...do you work for G M ?
nice camera work!. i wish i could do that!
Great video, you gotta love the F-150!
Did they have to make that front grille even bigger than before? The last one looks tasteful, this one feels grotesque & ghastly. However the new 3.5L V6 Ecoboost is brilliant. I hope we'll see it migrate towards other vehicles like the Explorer & Flex.
Well done KBB enough said
Are you crazy, you recommend the 2.7 Ecoboost for towing over the 3.5 Ecoboost which has industry leading towing capability. Do you even know what you are talking about?
That is a beautiful color but where is the bed liner??
Ford really made the best pickup truck.
I really like it and it looks the best.
Crazy how this is the most popular truck in the US
Tim?
I prefer the previous grill design
Franco Solis same.
I like this one better
Not me, I prefer the newest look.
I highly recommend the CyberTruck :)
So the Ford F150 or Toyota Tundra???
Junky DIY guy Toyota Tundra because it reliable and hold it resale value.Also the new 2018 Toyota Tundra come standard with Toyota safety sense on all trim.I’ll wait for a while on the f150 because there might be a recall in the future.
Toyota-----no start/stop b.s. on it.
F-150, it's been the best selling vehicle for 40 years straight, while the Tundra (despite being cheaper) can barely move 100,000 units per year. F-150 also has best in class towing and payload, best in class MPG for a gas engine and is also the only full-size pickup to ever earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick.
+guy proulx If you take a look at the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) ratings, you'll see the Tundra is rated either poor or marginal (depending upon the type of crash simulated) for lower leg and foot protection.
The F-150 on the other hand is rated good in all crash simulations for lower leg and foot protection. So your knee airbag isn't helping much, or the Tundra is such a poor design, that even the airbag can't help it.
+guy proulx Ah, the old fleet sales BS argument. Tell me why the F-Series has the 2nd highest average transaction price, only behind the GMC Sierra, not the Tundra (which has the 2nd lowest ATP)? Do you think fleets are buying $60,000+ trucks?
"how about the thousands and thousands that are sold every year as fleet sales? " Ford sells roughly 3/4 of a million trucks per year, a couple thousand fleet sales isn't a big deal. Not to mention the fact that fleets want a truck that isn't going to constantly be in the shop costing them money, so that in and of itself is almost an endorsement for the quality of Ford trucks.
"let's not forget about the HUGE incentives" And yet, Ford still has a higher transaction price than Toyota. Also, lets take a look at the real incentives Ford is currently offering on an F-150.
The largest discount Ford is currently offering is for a 2017 F-150 XLT SuperCab/SuperCrew, it's $6,000 retail customer cash. Or you can take 0% financing for 6 years through Ford Credit, however you'll only get a $1,500 rebate if you take the special financing. Toyota doesn't have their offers listed on their website, it just says "contact dealer for incentives" so I did just that. I went to the website for my local Toyota dealer and instantly got hit in the face with a pop-up advertising 0% for 6 years on 2018 (not 17) Tundra's, 4Runner's and Tacoma's. Ford is not currently offering any special financing on their 18 models, only leftover 17 inventory.
Hi KBB, where is Zach Vlasuk gone, He has not been on any car reviews for a while now?
Great video but, what are rear inflatable seatbelts?
This is the 5.5’ bed, right?
2:49 here I am flinging myself into the bed by stepping on the tire 😂
Nice f150 still good looking
Love that Magnificent Seven shirt!!
You my friend just got a new subscriber
Welcome! 😁
Absolutely zero interest in buying a pick up.. But still watch it ... Because KBB
Haha, love to hear that 😁
An F-150 was towing 2 dirt bikes here in Europe, and everyone was staring at it. A Bentley Continental passed minutes later, and almost nobody saw it. Strange.
@John Doe it was Bulgaria, sorry I wasn't very precise. Of course you see expensive cars all the time in London, but anywhere in Eastern Europe, they are gems.
You guys forgot about the LED bed lights and the 5.0L Coyote motor. Smh...
Why did I buy a Ford!? I bought a 2017 F150 Lariat due to it having a crew cab and 6.5 foot bed. Within 2,000 miles the value cover gasket started leaking. Coming from a 2007 Toyota Tundra that was great for almost 200,000 miles I already regret buying a Ford! If you are considering a Ford make sure it has a warranty because you will have issues! I can't wait for Toyota to come out with a crew cab and 6.5 foot bed...which I heard they will have in 2022 models. Fords have serious issue around the oil pan, transmissions, they feel cheaply made compared to Toyota and I guess the value covers are an issue too. Buyer Beware of Ford!
You have a 3 yr bumper to bumper warranty, use it
And a 5 yr 60,000 driveline warranty
When trucks are designed for utility (work) and most of the comments only care about criticizing the looks while ignoring the stupidly good reliability and functionality (it’s the only reliable Ford).
Looks good
Is this almost or better than the 2018 toyota tundra?
Hard to believe this video is already four years old...
F-150 is BOSS.
Hell yeah.
Oh yeah
Just realized that i haven't seen Zach in a long while. APB on Zach
Bring back an optional 3rd front center seat
Ford offers that in the XL series
Who else saw the reflection on the car at 7:30 😂😂
No Idea i always thought that's how they got those shots. A nice peak behind the curtain. I wonder how many takes to get the shot exactly right.
I need this truck :D
Camera man is super lit 😍
What color blue is that?
