Probably the last honest car sales men in the world. Take my money Bro.
hes not even wearingf a mask
I would definitely buy from this guy and dealership especially after he told the truth about refinancing your loan.
Corey Mayo I was tricked by that bs. I was told I couldn’t refinance until 6 months. I paid the truck off 2 years early so I saved a lot of money over the life of the loan, that still pisses me off that I was lied to.
@@Lamtitude
We don't call 'em sleazemen for nothing. Lol...
Which one has the smallest bed? I don’t like long beds
@@Lamtitude I did the exact same thing, was told penalty at 6 months or 18 months, so I waited till 2nd year was complete. paid it off, I also saved but beings the most of the interested is in front part of the loan..... I don't think the savings was that great.. Basically do Your homework... Happy Shopping !!!
Al B depends on your bank/ credit union. My credit union classified it as a new truck at refinance. They said as long as it’s a 2020/2021 and has under 7K miles. They will finance new vehicle rates even though it’s being refinanced.
I love how honest this dude is! No BS. Great videos
I live in California and I would seriously consider flying to his dealership to purchase a vehicle. Seems to truly be a straight shooter. Thank you Town and Country
I’ve owned Silverados for 20 years. Never had serious problem with them but I was never blown away by their quality or features. I bought a 2019 XLT super crew and can say for the first time that I am completely satisfied with a vehicle.
Damn this video would make me drive all the way to AL from Chicago just to buy a truck from them, nothing like a roadtrip back home in your shiney new truck.
Mitchell, thank you for such a well executed comparison of the XL vs STX vs XLT. Not only are you an excellent spokesman, you're one of the few TH-cam presenters that make a Ford F-150 look mid-sized just by standing next to one!!!
You actually put forth effort making this video and we all appreciate that! Most dealerships upload shaky cell phone videos or slide shows.
I know it! We can’t stand those videos either! Thank you for your support!
We bought a 2019 STX. We are amazed at the options. We are satisfied with our pickup and the money saved allowed for customization.
i have a 2019 fx4 2.7 302A trim package with the tail gate that pulls out white on white... i love it, its a complete dream to wake up every day and jump in the truck
I have a 2020 Lariat with the 502a package. I can't wait for the next reason to drive my truck! Such a nice ride!
For me personally I would get the XL/STX with the FX4 option. Love the honeycomb grille look with the painted bumpers.
Finally a video of a truck that fits my budget. It's been a while but thanks for the content.
Love the info and the guy really knows his stuff. Most sales guys I’ve talked to don’t have a clue.
Would love the deal on a 2019 but I can’t beat what I have, a 2013 that doesn’t cost me a dime except gas and insurance.
Straight forward guy we need more people like him
STX=Best Value truck on the market. If you can live without adjustable pedals and power seat, everything from the XLT can be easily added. Slap in a set of Katzkin Heated Leathers & the wireless Ford Keypad, you have a one heck of a truck. Now if Ford will just bring back the Supercab 5.5' bed and bring 4A to the lower trim levels, all will be well in the world.
you can add 4a to look it up f150forum.com look up adding 4a to an xlt
or buy a RAM and get complete luxury and a better more powerful truck.
Dr. Drake Ramoray lol ok 👌🏿🤣
@@stifflers69mom1 I guess you like the same old interior and look. lol
Dr. Drake Ramoray ram was never good listen to Scotty Kilmer
I appreciate the time you spent to explain this in great detail. I’m looking for a truck in the next 12 months or so and your experience makes things clear.
I appreciate you guys being so honest and just being yourselves.
I bought the 2019 STX and love the truck. I was actually looking for a used XLT to meet my price range and didn't even know about the XL\ STX package until dealer told me about it. I think it's the best bang for the buck IMO.
Couldn't agree more...
SacJu Its actually the prettiest truck too. The grill of the xlt is butt ugly with the exception of the sport package which gives it the stx appearance.
Thank you for your detailed reviews. I got a 2019 XLT with the 3.3 liter and I love it!
Brother, super helpful video! Thank you so much! I have been considering these two for my purchase, and you answered tons of questions for me. I really appreciate it. STX, here I come!
I just traded in my wife’s 2017 2wd F150 STX 5.0 for a 2019 XLT FX- 4 four-wheel-drive 3.5L ecoboost. I’m super impressed with the upgrades from the STX and with all the incentives from this coronavirus, our truck note went up only $38 and our insurance even went down. Totally a win-win situation👍🏽👍🏽
Very excited for this series of trim levels!
Glad to hear that!
I got the XLT and love it! 🇺🇸
I love how honest this fella is
This level of transparency is refreshing within the auto sales industry! I would buy from this guy in a heartbeat! Too bad i live in in the West coast.
Wow this guy is a pro on the trucks. He doesn't even breathe when describing it! Great job brother... You really know your shit! Just bought an STX and so far so good! Really liking it!
As always Mitchell, great job with the details of the differences with the trucks. Thank you
Great video. One of the main reasons I bought my 2019 stx was for the column shifter and the grill.
Center console with a column shifter is one of the best/under used combinations
I love column shifters. I have a 2020 F150 and the extra space you get for not having the console shifter is underrated. Plus it just has that “truck” feeling with column shifters
I have a 2019 STX and regarding the remote start -- I bought the Remote Start module directly from Ford. Plugged it in under the dash, enabled the feature in the cluster, and it works just like factory with the factory fob. You just hit Lock, Unlock, Lock -- and it remote starts just like my old XLT did that came with it.
How much is the module? Anything else needed...I'm looking at getting a '20 STX this weekend 😏
How much was the remote start?
Love a honest salesperson 👍🏼
Watched this video back in March and glad I did. I just bought a 2020 STX Super Crew 4x4 over the XLT. Saved the 5k and also got the 0% financing. Thanks Mitchel, I really appreciate the details you provide for each trim level. I kind of wanted the FX Off road package, but didn't want to spend the extra money. However, just took my truck off roading and when you go into 4 low with manual shifting and stay in 1st gear, it really crawls going downhill. I mean it can almost stand still on a downhill grade. Not sure if the Hill Descent Control is worth the extra cash. Glad I saved the money, I'll buy my own skid plates lol. Most of all I still can't believe I'm getting over 20 mpg out of my Coyote V8 on the highway!! I love my truck!!
thank you so much for your time making this video! you and your team are amazing people!
Bench seat is standard on the STX, the console is a $300 option.
Yep this is true , as I just got a 2019 , but still comes with a fold down arm rest , and a huge storage area under the model seat! , I was like, this is a nice surprise ! and the fold down seat that is then a arm rest is super comfortable height wise and has 2 cup holders built into it.... Like it better then standard console, gives ya more options!
When I was looking, they kept telling me stx was standard with the center console, so I ended up going XLT. But I actually like the automatic seats, seat warmers, rear window, etc.
@@charlespalmerii4299 I don't mind it, but I'd much prefer the center console more easily accessible for storage of belongings. Kind of a pain flipping the bench seat back. 1st world problems...
Bench seat is nice to have your lady sitting close to you.
Great video! Would LOVE to see y'all talk about/ demonstrate the new Ford Performance Leveling Kit for the 4x4 F150s
Bought my stx in August 2019. Great truck. Looks cool and performs well. I got so many compliments. I love my truck because I can take my family along with me wherever I go.
Just bought the 2021 STX supercab 4x4 in black and I love it. I get tons of compliments on the truck.
Thank you for the great information you have provide, I have searching for a video that would break it down by taking your time giving the great detail.
I love these type of videos. Keep up the good work Mitchell!
Any news on the new 2021 F-150?
Honesty is hard to find in 2022 but this ol' boy has still got it. And it is appreciated.
I’m in Texas and I just bought this 2019 the weekend before last just because of this video, went with the 2019 stx velocity blue with the 2.7.
Your video was awesome, thank you for going into all the details
I have a 2017 f150 STX and I love it gives me enough bells and whistles without being a spaceship, lol. And I completely agree about being able to use your phone as your GPS. It makes it so much easier. Also the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 has plenty of power for towing, highway use, etc. I absolutely love mine. Thank you for a great video.
What a great comparison. You are great. I have a 2019 F150 XLT 302A with the sport package and pano roof. Got the Coyote 5.0! Love it.
Definitely, I’m on my second 302a and I’m so glad I didn’t settle for the XL
Nicholas Jackson same here! The stx is a great value but the extras are brr@t he didn’t mention the power sliding rear either that’s std on the 302A XLT .
I’m on my second XL STX and the only thing I wish it had is the rear slider. But I’m also glad I didn’t fork over thousands more for an XLT just to get the sliding window.
@@tedschmitt178 Same here. You can always get one installed later down the road if you want or need one.. Most of the time that I see trucks with them, they are closed..
I’m with you guys. I’ve got a ‘18 STX 5.0. Crewcab. I like it better then the XLT
@ted schmitt
There is much more to the xlt than a sliding rear window, more options and what I wanted was the 10 way power seats, makes a long drive much more comfortable
I really like these F-150s because of the column shifter and the old fashioned ignition.
Thank you for the candid video.
I got the STX and it gave me what i needed. With the money i saved i pimped it out the way i want it.
he missed my favorite upgrade from the stx to the xlt. the power sliding rear window. its so convenient.
The xlt is cheaper in the long run instead of an stx and adding options
I've been waiting for this comparison vid. Gr8 content.
Thank you for being honest about the Ford Motor Credit that we can pay it off or refinance it ANYTIME we want! I am really surprised you said that!
Great video, one comment: you can still get the 40/20/40 seats on the STX - the 40/console/40 is an option for $295. You can see that line item on the window sticker you posted.
I have a XLT 302A w/ center jump seat and actually prefer it. Less space to collect junk and can haul 6 adults (which I've done a few times). Also the lower cup holders are awesome for tall Yeti tumbler. For anyone that wants it - hill decent control can be added for a $20 button and a couple changes in ForSCAN.
I have to say this is one of the best videos I’ve watched from an informational standpoint. Coming from someone who despises the whole car buying process and for the most, not all, personalities of the car salesmen I think I would actually enjoy dealing with young man whether we worked a deal out or not.
The time you get the STX with the engine you want, and the other options YOU want, a XLT may be cheaper.
My 3.5 EcoBoost was a $2700 option on the XLT. The Lariat it's a $995 option. You need to figure out what overlaps between the models and see where YOUR options fall.
Something that I found is that with the 3.5 EcoBoost also comes the 9.75 rear axle.
To get it with the 5.0 I believe you have to add the max tow pack to get that axle.
9.75 or 3.75? I have a 2013 F150 w the 3.5 EB. Its a 2wd with a rear locker and tow pkg. i believe the ratio is 3.55. I'd like to replace it with an option for option newer model when mine hits 10 years old. Truck has as been solid so far but I also only have about 68k mi
The STX is an AWESOME budget package, for someone who wants a premium look without the premium price tag. Me personally can't stand the column shifter so I'd had to go with the XLT with the console shifter. Another gripe I have with the XLT though is no LED headlights, thats a no no. That said, both nice trucks! Can't go wrong with either one
I'm the opposite with the shifter. I work at a Ford dealership and every time I jump into a truck with the center shifter, I still make a grab for the column. Honestly I don't look at the lack of LED lights as a problem. LEDs would just be another thing they could mark up as a $500 option. You could just pick up some LEDs for $100 online and it's just plug and play.
FordPoweredEveryday yeah and blind everybody in the process.
@@ottallman or do a proper retrofit
That Katzkin interior upgrade is awesome!
Thanks buddy for your awesome review. I am planning to buy a truck and your review make my life easier to choose from. keep going you are doing a great job.
Currently I'm leasing a 2018 XLT 302A and this video was perfect in helping me decide what trim I am going to look at once my lease is up. Short of remote start on the key itself the STX trim level has everything I want in it. Heated seats that I don't even like, remote start on the key, and box lighting are not worth $5,200. I can save that money an purchase an awesome set of rims/tires, aftermarket stereo, ford performance/roush tuning packages etc etc. Thanks for posting this great video !
If you did any research on what is included with the XLT pkg you would see the difference between the base model stx versus XLT
First time owner here, and I must admit .... I got a whole lotta new information here than the dealership I bought my truck from..... all they were interested in was overwhelming me with stupid add-ons I didn't need. I wish I saw this video before I bought my truck. Thanks for the information.
Wow some honest car salesman! Thanks for the video! The options are worth it!
I’m a simple person. So STX for me
Bought one in October. Great truck, you won't be disappointed
Christopher Greenwald bought one today I love it
Christopher Greenwald I’m looking at a f150, how’s it been for you?
Bought my stx in August 2019..very happy with my purchase. I get lots of compliments
I just got a 2020 STX FX4 and i do not regret it one bit awesome truck.
My head stopped spinning after watchimg this! Very good explanation sir.
Live in PA, have clients in AL, perhaps I’m stopping here for a new vehicle. Great video, production, and review. Well done!
Great info on rebates and financing, thanks very much! Currently looking for a 2019 XLT leftover and this will be very helpful.
Randomly found this channel. I know where ima get my truck now🤘🏽! Thank you for the informative video!
Wow. Outstanding. Best F-150 comparison video! And did I just encounter a what seems to be an honest car dealer? I would drive thousands of miles to buy from you. Thank you!
Hey from Central Kentucky! Worth it. Would definitely buy from you guys. Great video.
This guy is good! Breaking down the options.
Great video and good idea to compare all the trims.. Love it.
I really like your honesty. When trucks become available, I’m going to buy from you.
No idea if you keep reading the comments but your video made me buy one here in Puerto Rico. Thanks for the transparency
That's awesome! Thanks for watching
Looking forward to this next video. I hope it's a 502a package Lariat!
Mitchell is it better to buy off the lot or special order? Does special orders not get the discounts?
I got my '19 STX for 39k out the door taxes and fees included. Cant beat that.
I got my 19 xlt 302A fully loaded out the door for 38k at the beginning of January.
yeah I can. I got my 2019 brand new (24 miles on odometer) for 36k and the dealer had added 36 gallon gas tank, spray in bedliner, wheel well covers, and it had the tailgate step just to entice a buyer. My truck is an exact copy of the stx in this video, right down to the gorgeous ingot silver.
What you put down?
@@jordanemch1274 I went in today for a 19 but they didn't have one in abyss gray. They had a 2020 302a fx4, tow package and bigger gas tank than standard... They were wanting 47.8k out the door. I thought it was a little high?
I paid $36k factory to dealership 19’ 4 door STX FX4 5.0 V8
I have Subscribed to your Channel. I appreciate the Honesty! You repeat that you want to provide knowledge to help people make the right choice. I live in Minnesota, probably not gonna buy a vehicle from you, however, it might be a nice option because of your TCCustoms. What I truly hate, is that the prices for these vehicles has gotten ludicrous. I paid $26K for a 2004 F150, XLT, SuperCab, 5.4L V-8, 4wd. Now that has become the starting price for F150 XL, Reg Cab, 3.3L V-6. grgrgrgrgr I know how to drive and I don't like all the stinking computer gadgetry. Keep up the great job of Video's! :)
I would buy this truck for one reason, just the column shifter
Absolutely agree....I love the storage .....it’s a truck the shifter needs to be on the column
That is my gripe about some of the xlt’s. I can’t stand the fold down center counsel. I know you can option for one without and get the column shifter though.
I'm coming to see y'all next Friday (day after Thanksgiving) Richie has me on the hunt!
Wish I would have seen this video and been less impulsive before I bought my XLT two weeks ago. Nice work
I just bought a Race Red 2wd Supercrew.. I love the way you explained everything.. I agree with you the STX is the most awesome grill. Reminds of the 2nd generation Lightning.. Thank you so much for the video.. What I love on the Sport are the tire treads in the seat,,
Thank you so much,
Marvin C.Bazemore
Thanks for the informative video, been a fan of Town and Country TV for a while, that said I will stick with 2018 F150 STX. Thanks again for all your great work. Signed a very happy STX owner. (:
Great video. Awesome guy to explain the finances. I have a 2019 STX, FX4, with a 2.7. I put a 2" leveling kit on it, added running boards and made a plywood box liner and I'm quite smitten with my 1/2 ton that does 24-26 mpg (21 US). I was all in at $39901.31 Cdn for mine (I live in Northern Alberta) so that'd be 31286.93 US depending on the exchange day. I'm super happy with my deal. I'm 50k kms so far 30k miles and the only hitch is the diaper (right behind the skid plate) they put on those trucks for road noise. I went through two and simply removed it. If you run dirt roads, mud or lots of snow and ice you'll undoubtedly figure it out quickly.
I'm going up one level next time. I like the 75 more hp option in the 3.5 and I want the remote start off my phone. Cheers.
I have XLT full black and I love everything about my baby, the GPS is great, the back ladder an extra, thank you for your great video.
Great info. You guys do a great job!!
THANK YOU for this video from Lucedale Mississippi. Starting my shopping this week. Looks like the dealers STILL want too much for the new AND used trucks in the middle of the corona virus
I thought about XLT for a while but I didn’t want all the bells and whistles so I opted for the STX and I loved it.
2.7?
Me too. Best looking F-150 on the road. I got my 2020 STX crew 5.0 in velocity blue about two months ago. Turns alot of heads.
I got the 5.0L V8 4X4
Should I buy an stx?
If you want just the 8” SYNC 3 and a center console but don’t want power seats, dual climate control, and a rear sliding window, then yes. It just depends on what you want and how much you are willing to pay between the STX and the XLT.
I like the STX grill as well. I have a 2017 Lariat that I love, but I like that Honeycomb grill on the STX probably better than any other grill on the F150s.
I was just thinking these videos have sold me. When I’m ready to buy I would love to buy one from you
Another great informative video.
Never knew what STX was. Thanks for that. Also, the starting prices are just absolutely ridiculous. Just price them right to begin with without all the goofy 'discounts'.
give this boy a prize for speaking and give you a tour of the Ford trucks explain and say the differences between the Ford trucks very good explanation👍👍
Thank you. Very professional presentation.
XLT for sure well worth it. i like this dude if i lived close id buy my next XLT from him.
My dad currently has a 1998 F-150, its my goal to to buy him a recent model year F-150. Hopefully I can do it in a few years. Very great video, love how nonchalant this guy is lol
I’ve got an 18 3.5 EB Screw XLT FX4 with 302 A and the extra money is well worth if for the keypad heated seats and remote start from the key fob
Like and subscribed, knowledge is power, thanks sir!
Picked up a 20 STX special edition love it!
STX is the better value when buying new. 1-owner 2019 lariat is way better deal than both
SYNC 3 Sucks though...My APIM just went out and my Explorer is just out of warranty. Ford told me to pound sand....$1,200 at my local Ford Stealership...
3 words - air conditioned seats.
@david
You need cooled seats with leather, cloth seats are comfy all the time
I Love my 17 stx in lithium gray. And working in construction, I enjoy my rubber floors. Its easy to keep a clean truck. And with content as good as yours. When the time comes for a upgrade as the years go by. I wouldnt mind going for a drive to buy a truck from you guys.
On the ford pass app you can also do programmed starts. In the winter time, i start mine every morning, 15 minutes before i leave. Windows are defrosted, cab is heated, seats warned up. On a recent trip to AZ, i parked my truck at the valet parking at the airport in Denver, CO. The Valet locked my keys in the truck and they couldn't move it. When they called, I unlocked my truck from Phoenix, AZ while the truck was parked in Denvef, CO!
The 2019 XLT is a pulling machine, course i have the max tow package. The 3.5 ecoboost will pull my camper up the CO mountains with no problem. Where i was surprised was coming down the mountains. The 10 speed transmission really shines. Just set the gear and you can coast down the mountains without burning up your brakes, impeading traffic, and remain in control. I love having the backup camera, makes hooking up the camper a 1 backup shot.
I use the navigation feature on the truck, cause cell phone coverage can get spotty in the mountains and canyons. And in town, it will give you traffic feedback. I have noticed the road turns green, yellow and red for traffic flow. And i also get traffic and weather alerts on the nsv system.
Overall, i love my 2019 XLT. I needed a good truck for towing amdd everyday driving and that's exactly what I got.
SO Clear!!!!! Thanks a lot.
Always great videos
Both the F150 XLT and STX look great. However if i had to choose between the two i would go with the XLT.
It doesn’t seem like it wasn’t that many years ago the XLT was a top of the line truck 😀 I bought an XLT with the 302A pkg , 3:55 locker, and the 53A mid level towing pkg, and I’m extremely happy with it
Xlt all day
I have a 18 STX FX4 5.0 crewcab 6 1/2 bed with 15k miles. Mint. I love it. Torn on if I should buy it out after lease 31k or lease another one. Only problem is a engine tap ‘sounds like a diesel’. Thanks for the video. Best I’ve seen in a long time. Happy new year
