Coming back to this video 2 years later because I'm thinking about snagging an 18 5.0 soon
I love my 2018. Really digging the 10 speed too
2018, FX4, crew, 302-A package, chrome package: 53k miles now, bought new, no issues other than adjustable peddles gear broke🤦🏽♂️ other than that, fast and powerful as all holy hell! Engine and tranny makes noises but nothing ever happened so ,4 years and 53k miles later, it’s a solid truck as all my Ford trucks have been. I posted my own TH-cam review myself on mine detailing everyone’s concerns.
Hey, that's my dream truck, I can't get enough of that 5.0 sound
That was a very good review. Love the truck; they just keep giving you new reason to buy a new truck - keep up the good work guys!
Thanks Mark- appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching! -Justin
Badass review Justin! Nailed all the major talking points and specs 👌 I'll hopefully be getting the 2018 f150 with the 5.0 v8 here soon 😎
I traded my 16 for basically the same truck in an 18 F150 supercrew xlt fx4 sport in the lead foot gray, of course the 5.0L 10speed combo with 3.55 gear. Super impressed with the additional power and improved acceleration. I would say the 10 speed is much busier than the 6, but it launches and accelerates much swifter. The shifts are extremely quick in sport mode. Kinda cool to cruze and get 21 mpg, and when you hammer down the 10 speed drops down several gears and she flat out gets down the road.
Outstanding review, great job Sir!
Just became a subscriber. Great reviews. The lead foot color is just awesome. Will be buying one within the next two months.
the best sounding v8 out of any stock truck
thanks for the Video ive been waiting on a Dino Test to compare the 2018 F-150 V8 to the 2017 and like you said in the video that is great news
I like this channel. Well spoken reviewer, young and knowledgeable about the product. Doesn't seem to do this because it makes money but doesn't really know about trucks. Subscribed!
Thanks man, I appreciate that. -Justin
Got my XLT Sport FX4 for $45 CND when a comparable Silverado Z71 was $52. That 7 g's is what pushed me to Ford
Still loving my Ford F150 FX4 5.0 with MBRP single side after tire stainless exhaust sounds just soooo badass....40,xxx miles and no other problems except for drivers side rear window bolwing out 2 weeks after I purchased it. I can live with one issue. She runs so freaking good!
I am partial to the GM trucks but I really love the interior color options these Fords offer. That wine color and then that blue color, man I like that.
Thanks for sharing! Great review, very nice truck & color!
Billy D
Thanks Billy! -Justin
best part of the review, the truck drives like a champ as evident when watching you take your hands off the wheel about 20 times during the talking lol
I'm one of the best knee drivers you'll ever meet. ;) -Justin
Great video.. had question would the wilwood brake upgrades on website fit the stock 20’s
Hey Justin, I just subscribed Happy to do so. I'll be honest and say that I was never a Ford fan outside of the Mustang. I love my 2001 4.6 FX4 Super Crew Truck. I understand what Ford Owners have Truely raved about. American Inspired Idea that led to The Birth of an American Legend, Raised American Born Ford Tough. A Salute to Henry Ford and The Memory that Symbolizes And Will Always Remain Symbolic... The Ford Motor Company.
The Limited "heated shift knob." Good gawd. I mean, come on. Anyway...first view of your channel. Very interesting, with pro-production. Thanks. I enjoyed this vid and have subscribed.
really enjoy your reviews on the f150 lineup... just wanted to point out that in this video... when you were showing the new colors and mentioned magma red..the wrong color was put in video... I noticed because I bought my 2018 magma red in Sept 2017 . Small faux pa.... but hey man..always enjoy.the videos....keep.them coming
Thanks for the kind words Dennis! As far as the color is concerned- we pulled that directly off of Fords site so I assure you it is correct. Might be something with the rendering/image as even Fords 'leadfoot' looks a little goofy compared to our truck. Thanks again for watching- Justin
I have a 2014 xlt with the 5.0 and I going to look at a 2018 xlt with the 5.0 today. This video was exactly what I was looking for, I think you just sold me on it.
We're happy to hear our video helped out! Best of luck with the new truck! -Zach
Don’t pull 10,000 lbs trailers, never go off road, don’t run her hard, but nice to know I could! Awesome review by a great reviewer!
Hey thanks! -Justin
I now have an '18 F150 XLT Special edition FX4 5.0 w/3.73 gears in Magma Red color. I like the interior on the special edition. The factory exhaust is so quiet =[ .Plenty of power, quick truck in sport mode. I always have the air on in the cab so the auto start/stop never kicks in. Love the truck.
The king of pickups.
My favorite review of this truck so far
Im hoping to get a good deal on one soon but ill be going for a race red stx with the 2.7l engine
Very sweet! I've been looking for my first truck. I want a Raptor, but a XL or XLT would a great start.
Had my '18 Lariat FX4 5.0 for a month now and I'm hooked. Traded in my second Silverado (2012) for it. The biggest improvements so far have been the quality feel of the interior (no comparison to Chevy), the quiet, comfortable ride but most importantly the performance of the 10 speed tranny towing my 20' pontoon boat. Never searches randomly for gears and is completely comfortable in higher gears on the highway. The console shifter is a big plus for me as well. Complaints so far include the small factory fender extenstions (aren't mounted securly and depending on the position they are in, you can see them actively scratching the paint on the fender where they make contact. The SYNC seems to get super confused and lags at startup. I've been able to reverse this for brief moments with a fresh pairing of my phone but it seems to return. My next step will likely be a maser reset I suppose. The fuel economy has been total rubbish but that's completely my doing having discovered the fun of driving in sport mode. Like everyone else, I can't stand the auto engine shut off (FordScan in my future). The auto high beam function could use a little adderall to, it gets seriously confused in certain situations. It sometimes behaves like Michael J. Fox is in control of the high beams. I probably wouldn't have realized so quicklyi how much better this truck is had I not been upgraded to a new 2017 2500 Silverado at work, That truck is what completley talked me out of stepping foot on to another chevy lot, Great truck all around. Couldn't be happier!
Great reveiew of this truck guys!!
Love my 18 XLT Sport. Really digging the STX grille, ordered one for mine will be here in a few days. Only thing I don't like on mine is the 2 bar grille.
Are the hoods exactly the same? I just ordered at bug deflector for a 15... but I have a 18!
I love my 2013 f150 5.0 but damn.... nearly 350 hp to the wheels of the new 2018’s?! That’s a good reason to trade in for the newer 2018!
was not entirely apples to apples considering the wheels were smaller on the 2018 of course it is going to transfer more power to the wheels. that's called gearing lol
Best f 150 video thus far
Damn, thanks Charles! -Justin
Love the color
I like it, thumbs up
Man I wish I was older and had my license because that is a beautiful truck. Btw I hope to see the coyote around for just a few more years cuz I love it. And also I need to see this 7 litre.
I ordered My STX 5.0 4X4 for 42K. Race red and very nice. Came with 19" wheels and rubber mats. Perfect for farm work. 10 Speed is awesome. love my new truck.
Nice! Sounds like a good combo sir. Thanks for chiming in! -Justin

There is going to be a new 7 liter gas for the super duty? I need a 3 quarter ton but i dont need a diesel
You can disable the auto stop by plugging in a trailer plug
Or put it into sport or tow mode.
So you can just plug in a trailer plug with no trailer. . . .right , to disable auto stop ? I think it is ridiculous to have that feature !!!! During the hot summer with AC on , I surely do not want the engine to turn off when I make a stop !!!!!! Totally insane !!!!!
it will not shut off if you are running the ac. you can easily make a little jumper wire and put it in behind the auto stop disable button . take a piece of 18 awg and two tiny wire pin crimps. make it easily removable when you take it in for service. or
That is an excellent ideal !!!! Whenever I buy a new truck, will surely do that cause I do not like that auto stop feature at all. It's ridiculous !!!
Garret Rowe got mine for 35k out the door same truck as in video had 8 miles on it.
just got the 2018 FX4 with the 3.5L eco boost, fucking love it, it's a beast!!!!
AT, are those factory running boards? They seem like what I'm looking for. They're close to the body of the truck, not a huge gap. Are they 5" or 6", do you know? Thanks!
How would that auto off and start when you stop would that affect a Ford’s forced induction system by rough?
Watching 3 years later and still love the sport grille and still can't afford one lol.
Is it burning oil yet? There's lots of reports of oil burning and knocking since they changed the 5.0. also shifting issues with the 10 speed.
What gear was it dyno ed in
I totally agree with you that one I’ll stop starting it’s a pain in the butt and I wish I could permanently disable it too
Charles Degener autostopeliminator.com
With those numbers i might go back to the 5.0...
I got my 2018 STX supercrew 4X4 with 2.7L twin turbo. I traded out of a 2006 extended cab XLT 2wd with the 5.4L V8. The performance and fuel economy are NOT EVEN CLOSE. Trucks and tubos go together like peanut butter and jelly. This is my second F150. I drove my last one for 15 years. I'm betting this one will take me to the grave. (not to sound morbid but I'm 57 and plan on keeping this at least 20 years). If I end up having to get another truck ( however unlikely) you can bet your bottom dollar I'm getting something with 30mpg and at least 425 pound feet of torque
You can permanently disable the auto-stop feature by unplugging the very bottom cable in the white box to the left of the brake peddle. There is a white box with 3 plugs in it. Its the very bottom one with the smallest head. Kinda looks like a phone wall chord. My sales man showed me how to disable it. It works!!
That color looks amazing!
Love the 10-speed, hate the 50k price tag on the STX model.
Preach. -Justin
When he said 50K for an stx I shit myself. In 2015 I bought a very well equipped XLT crew cab 4x4 3.5L ecoboost with a sticker price of 47K. This truck had sport package, rear locker, touch screen, heated seats basically everything you could get on an XLT except moon roof. 50K for a STX is just ridiculous. I won’t be buying a new truck for a long time they just keep raising the prices to absurd new levels. In 2011 50K got you damn near a fully loaded FX4 or Lariat.
Got my 2018 5.0 stx for 40k after tt&l and 100k warranty
Bought a 2018 Leadfoot STX super crew with the 6.6' bed, 4x4, 3.5/Heavy Tow package for a little over $41k after taxes on the 'Z' plan. Ford's MSRP was $46k, but actual the price was $38k before taxes. $51k? I think the dude in the video was pulling numbers out of his ass.
david roberts well no one buys these trucks at sticker. I doubt 50K was there purchase price. Probably just rounding up on a mid to upper 40k sticker.
Just needs black rims I love the grill and the lead foot color this truck rocks
love the lead foot gray.
A big,medium and small unplug the small one and it stops auto stop/start the light still comes on when you stop but does not stop the truck
Those wheels came stock on my 2015 Lariat
my dad just bought his " first new truck" a f150 2018 62k miles 5.0 Stx crewcab hopefully itll last him for 20+ yrs he has a 92 f150 xlt 5.8 with almost 400k miles still running strong for work
this color grew on me during the video- very interesting
Really liking my 19 with 3.5 EcoBoost.
I went with the bells and no whistles.
4x4 XL 101A
3.5
Electric locker
Hitch
36 gallon fuel tank.
Hey Ford....
Some real headlights would sure be nice!
That's my only gripe.
Maybe the fog lights would help...but I don't think so.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give low beams maybe a 3
High beams...6
Impressive numbers for the Coyote!
Dyno a 2018 vs 2015 3.5EB..... lets see the difference there too!
If u want to disable the auto stop start the controller is under the dash just to the right of the brake it has three plug big med
Thanks for the tip! -Justin
It cool that you can order an F150 in bare primer, all ready for the paint of your choice.
To bad the stx package isn't available on the single cab, short box 2018 xl sport. I'm just going to buy the grill for now.
At 9:33
I didn't see the NAV app on the screen as you said, because that truck doesn't have Navigation.
You would be correct. -Justin
AmericanTrucks Ford apple CarPlay
I grabbed me a 17’ 5.0 with the 6 speed. I was worried about the issues the 3rd Gen Coyotes, as well as the 10 speed, are having. I bet they’re great when they work but I’m a bit skeptical of new designs.
TAN!
Love that color but it needs some accents to break it up a touch
What is tow capacity for SuperCrew 4x4 5.0 5 1/2 ft bed and 6 1/2 ft bed?
7000
The 2 bar grill design look better then the style front end
F150 the best again...
Arthur Ramalho as always
Except the trans mission defects & oil burning 5.0
@@TCS86 I've had problems with neither
They had diesels in f150s back in 83 for the 6.9 idi
Get the AutoStop eliminator kit, turns off the "kill my stater feature."
I'd love that diesel but, fuel prices here in California are INSANE!
Will Ford ever make this available in right hand drive configuration...we need it in right and drive now ford now!!!!
Didn’t know if I liked the color but now it’s grown on me
Yea, like a wart..
Hey Justin. Question. Do all new f150s come with the auto shut off when you stop? Or are their options?
Hey Mike! Unfortunately they are all equipped with the auto start/stop feature, standard equipment. You can disable it on the dash every time you start your truck or like another commentor pointed out, you could leave a trailer plug installed. Hope all is well buddy! -Justin
AmericanTrucks Ford thank you for the response! Hope all is well and happy New year!
Funny you mention the auto stop lol! I was going to buy a new 2021 F150, but couldn’t find one without the auto-stop feature, so I told the salesman, “you have the sale, but if you cant get rid of the auto-stop feature , I wont buy it”.
Ill go buy an older used F150, and just rebuild it myself, before I’ll deal with the “auto-stop” bullshit. Its the most annoying feature ever.
Hoping with Ram building nice interiors that Ford begins to step up their standard features and materials. The interior is the only thing that holds me back from pulling the trigger at that price point
Can't wait to get mine in silver rebates are good in Canada right now $40k and some change canadian is what I got it.
What about 10 leather interior of a Lariat?
is Lead foot the same colour as Lithium Grey ?
It's close, lead foot may be a shade lighter than lithium gray.. but replaces it for 2018.
Ford Rocks !!
What more can I say, haters will hate , you pay a little more but its worth it, hands down..
Thanks Ford !!
Love that color. I drive a concrete mixer so it reminds me of concrete lol
It really does look like wet cement.
And about as exciting as concrete
@@paulhunter9613 I ended up with a granite crystal metallic TRX. Love it!!!!
Did I miss the video of the tires and wheel combo? Or would you please let me know thanks!
This truck is 100% stock, including the wheels and tires. -Justin
@@americantrucks I accidentally commented on the wrong video but was wondering with the most current video of this truck
Oh gotcha! This truck now has the SOTA off road pro series wheels wrapped in a 33" Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ. -Justin
Agree 100% Coyote is one of Ford's greatest. If it wasn't for the 3.5 it would be the best current engine. I just wish my '11 had that 10 speed, but hopefully I'll get an '18 in a few years
Eh, you aren't missing much with the 10spd. The 6r80 is a great trans and one that has been proven to be a tank. The jury is still out on the 10spd and long term durability. -Justin
AmericanTrucks Ford Thats true, the 10 is too new to know how reliable it is. I just figured it probably makes a good difference in mpg.
You would think, but it doesn't...trust me. lol -Justin
I just traded my 2017 performance pack Mustang GT for a fully loaded 2018 XLT F-150 with the 5.0L and FX4 package in a supercrew layout.
I just need to make the JLT oil catch can from my Mustang, to work on the F150.
How is this working out?
@@go5.063 So far it’s been working out pretty well. I figured out some things with the truck.
What about the 7 liter V-8..? We've been hearing about that for a few weeks now...
They said that about the gt500 and look how that ended up......i would love a n/a 7.0.....
7L is confirmed for the Super Duty. I haven't heard anything about it making its way into an F150...yet. ;) -Justin
AmericanTrucks Ford I’ve heard recent “rumors” about the 7L going into the Raptor.
Get the 5.0 with the Roush Supercharger !
Small correction, the 5.0 actually is the engine that hauls the most at 3,270lbs vs 3,230lbs per Ford’s brochure - www.ford.com/services/assets/Brochure?make=Ford&model=F-150&year=2018
Page #5. Great video though!
You would be correct, good catch! -Justin
Love those wheels on the stx the same ones are on my 15 lariat
Why did you skip on the FX4?
No reason in particular- this is just the truck we bought. -Justin
Turbo the 5.0!😎
daddy o cool supercharge
fucking awesome!
The dealer can permanently disable the auto stop start. At least my 2016 f150 is.
Is 2017 5.0 and 2018 one the same??
No sir- The '18 is higher compression and features the dual style fuel injection. Thats why you see such a big difference between the two model years in regards to power to the wheels. -Justin
I like those all terrain tires they look really good!!
Ford's been stamping their name in the tailgate since it's 1st pickup. A lot longer than Toyota or Tacoma has been around.
I never said they haven't been doing it the longest, etc- however this latest iteration is awfully similar to the new Tacomas, there is no denying that. -Justin
Loved hated my 2011 ecoboost f150, but 2018 stx magma red F150 v8 is awesome
Just got my '19 5.0 magma red. Super crew 6.5 ft box, sport. So many comments on the awesome colour. Such a step up from my '13 super cab 5.0, which was already a great truck!
what gear ratio did this truck have
I believe this truck has 3.55's. -Justin
Just bought my 2019 STX 4x4 5.0L for around $38k after everything. was time for a full size truck. Kinda bummed it doesnt have XM Radio in this trim level.
Congrats on the new purchase! Hope our videos serve as some inspiration for some future mods! First things first I say you look into a nice exhaust system to wake up that Coyote under your hood. 😉 -Zach
AmericanTrucks Ford
Zach,
It sure does. I’ll definitely look into it. Thanks man.
XM Radio is only $195 more.
Next truck F150 FX4 crew cab 5.0.
Your curve gains on your 3rd chart is wrong. It's not 88 HP more / 100 more TQ. According to your data on the graphs the increase in HP is actually 63 more HP and 39 more TQ to the rear wheel on the 2018 F150
Mark Middleton still those numbers are way wrong the 2 trucks have 10 crank horsepower difference you won’t see 60 hp difference
