Thank you guys for not always reviewing the Lariat Ultra Platinum Ranch Deluxe quad-turbo 22-speed auto with just-killed raw hide leather, 37" touch screen, titanium wheels and a fart ventilation system. For those of us who will only ever be able to afford a F-150 XL at 40K, this site is one of the only ones you can go to for a review.
In the end it has AC, a heater, a powerplant, and a super smooth suspension.
I was asked by TH-cam if your comment hurt my feelings 😮💨. We are doomed 😔.
Dear TFL,if you have any pull with Ford tell them to switch the Start/Stop to default OFF. It stinks.
They have these in the XLT package at dealers for like 32k. No one wants them because they are “weak”, even though 90% don’t need the extra power. This is a port and direct injection motor that is naturally aspirated. Fewer things to go wrong, I bet these motors out last all the ecoboosts
I agree 100% brother
these and the V8s will be all you see once they get 30 years old
your comment aged very well
That truck doesn't suck, but that price sure does!
It's 2022 now. I would love to have 2017 prices today. 😂😂I'm still driving my 07 F150 I bought in 2007. These things aren't getting any cheaper for sure.
$36,000 for the "cheapest" truck is too much money.
What has happened in America when a base Ford F150 costs 36k? Ridiculous.
1970HondaCL100 It's definitely overpriced for a basic truck.
1970HondaCL100 it isn't a true base model a true base model is single cab, 2wd without any add ons, you can get that for 20 something especially if you are smart and you shop when they offer rebates
29k*
Maybe for you, but not so much for most others.
The Cyclone V6s are phenominal. Super reliable and have enough power for a daily driver/light to moderate hauler. I love my 3.7
I agree. These newer. 6’s have more power than old 4.6L or up V8’s. While getting better fuel economy. I have one of these for my glass company and plan on getting second one soon.
Hown the mpg
@@missouripatriot6926 25 highway same as 04 crown victoria.
I have a 2020 F150 with the 3.3 V6 and so far it's been great
My former work truck, 2012 F-150 XL 3.7L has 241K and is still driven by other employees, never used any oil between 5K Valvoline Synthetic changes, didn't smoke, the tailpipe was clean white looking at 241K Never a problem with the 6 speed transmission. The 3.3L is in same engine family as non turbo 3.5 and 3.7L.
$36k with no 4 wheel drive? Seriously ?
You can get a 4x4 at $32k
Christopher Walken No one pays MSRP chances are you'll get that truck for 25 or 26000
No, msrp for a 4x4 xl without options is $32k. The $36k truck in the video has options, a 4x2 XL starts at $27K. The truck in the video but with 4x4 wil probably have a msrp of about $40k.
I would get a 2017 model,right now at the KOONS Ford about 50 miles from me you can get a 2017 Ford F-150 XLT Truck SuperCab Styleside with 2.7 ecoboost and 4x4 for $28,507 and the MSRP is $40,500,they also got the same style truck with some more options and with the 5.0 for $34,183 and the MSRP is $46,345
I think what he is talking about is if you go on Ford's site a do a build and price of a 2018 F-150 and select the base with 4x4 with no other options comes to $32,070
It's a joke calling this cheap. Buy used.
Expressionistix and you can't even fix it at home with hand tools if you get a Dent in the front... all the modern angles and curves make it hard to hammer out and patch panel.
I'd love a 79 square body
nobody fixes work trucks
With resales values so high, you'll be shocked to find used trucks aren't much cheaper.
PAKTRA PRODUCTIONS Amen Brother I have a 96 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 206,240 miles on it and it's still going strong. The only thing I replaced on my truck was the starter but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance, replaced the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since.
Giovanni That's with modern trucks but not true with old school trucks.
TFL, you should make a video that explains vehicle pricing to people. MSRP is a price suggested by the manufacturer, it isn't a fixed price. It is dealers that set actual prices for vehicles. Dealers sometimes sell at or even above MSRP, but the vast majority of vehicles are sold well below MSRP. It's amazing how so few people understand even these basic things.
Dumbass Liberal Most trucks offer heavy incentives. Only when a model is first introduced are incentives not available, and that usually doesn't last long. Also, you don't need incentives to get a discount off MSRP. MSRP is not the actual price, it is just the suggests retail price. I mean, it's called "Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price." Anyone with basic buying knowledge knows how to slash thousands off the suggested sticker price. In fact, I've even purchased cars with thousands off sticker without incentives. Don't know why you're making such a big deal about these things. You lack buying knowledge.
www.autotrader.com/car-tips/buying-a-car-whats-an-msrp-228292
"MSRP: What Does It Mean?
The MSRP, or manufacturer's suggested retail price, is quite simply the price that the manufacturer suggests that the dealer should ask for a car. This is also referred to as the retail price, or the dollar amount that a retailer should be asking for the car according to the automaker. Think of it as the car-dealer version of the price tag you see on a television at an electronics store.
Although the MSRP is the suggested price, dealers have the freedom to ask more or less than this figure. If a car is in high demand, a dealer might include a market adjustment, which will increase the vehicle's price beyond the suggested price. The dealer can do this because they feel that the market demand is high enough to ask for more than the suggested price of the car.
Of course, dealers can also charge less than the suggested price for a car. In fact, the suggested price is typically a starting point for negotiations, and in many cases, customers insist on paying less than the MSRP. Dealers have the authority to make these changes to the car's final selling price because a suggested price is merely that -- a suggestion. It's ultimately up to dealers to decide whether they want to follow it."
There is no point in complaining about MSRP if MSRP isn't being followed by the people selling them. Stop being such a dumbass liberal.
Nodak81 totally agree. The Msrp on my f150 was $41k then I added $3k in dealer installed options and only paid $31k. Andre usually does a better job of truthing.
Cheap f150 for 36k?! Come on TFL you know better than that. That's not cheap at all for a base model. Maybe your getting to used to driving the luxury trucks thinking that is cheap. That's a lot for having the base engine. Maybe if it had a bigger 6 or the 8 then ok. But with that teeny tiny 3.3 the price should be under 30 to be affordable as a base model id say.
Jimmy M If you haven't noticed by now, these guys here at TFL (especially Roman) are hardcore Ford biased.
Jimmy M All the while im not gonna disagree. They prolly figure its cheap compared to the loaded new f150 lol!
Taylon Fitch That's not true. Roman may prefer Ford because he loves his Raptor but he never talks bad about other trucks without reason. Andre happens to drive a Chevy, and he seems to be unbiased. Nathan is definitely unbiased, I believe he drives a Toyota and he seems to prefer the latest Chevys and Rams over Ford. Mr. Truck seems to be a Ford guy, but he is not afraid to call it as he sees it. If Ford does something he doesn't like, he's vocal.
Mr. P.J.Fry Nah, I think you got it wrong. Suit yourself, but I'm sure Roman was just taking a dig at Chevy with a sense of humor. He's done fine reviews on them in the past. I also seem to remember the Chevrolet Silverado won the TFL Gold Hitch award at one point.
Mr. P.J.Fry Any REAL truck guy will of course have a Ford bias....
I have a 2015 xl sport with the n/a 3.5 and I love it. Smooth ride and powertrane compared to the previous 4.6 v8. The ecoboost is what's marketed to the masses but you have got to get the truck that fits you best. I used to own a 5.4 xlt. Horrible fuel economy and no top end passing power compared to any of the new engines ford offers today. $37000 used to be luxury car territory but now it's base line truck. It's our new normal.
I have the 2019! Glad I didn't get the ecoboost. I love it. Don't like the start and go though
If you don't like it, push the button to disable it.
My dad just bought a brand new ram 2500 with a 6.4 hemi for 37,000
doit , but it's a Dodge, they look the same for the last 100 years
doit nice
Yeah but it's a Fiat. There is a reason Dodges are cheaper.
Frogboyattacks the guy uptop did though
I bought a Chevy Tahoe for 60,000
People forget 36 g is NOT what you would pay for it. That is MSRP. Expect several thousand less for an actual purchase price.
I've been finding these for like 26k. I think they might've messed up somewhere
Just bought mine 4 door 3.3l 2018 with only 40k miles on it for 22,636. Got a slight touch up paint on front bumper and bed is scratched up. Other than that everything is pristine condition.
It’s Funny how the 3.3L V6 base engine also has the rawest and most aggressive sound out of all the F-150 engines. That’s right, it sounds cooler than the 5.0 V8 coyote, which I think is way overrated. You can get the bigger EcoBoost V6 which is Faster and tows more than the 5.0, and you can get the 3.3 V6 which sounds better and is more Fuel efficient than the 5.0.
That's until you put dual exhaust on a 5.0 F150 (especially the Borla ATAK exhaust).
Thanks, the mortgage on my first house I built was $29,000 @ 9% interest. My first new 4x4 ford F-150 cost $4798.00 in 1977. I remember fueling up my 68 GTO in Redding Calif. one night for 29 cents a gallon. Boy have times changed.
I reckon the base 4 door 4x4 would run into the $40K plus area.
Ed Sunderland I know man vehicles today are not only overpriced but they look hideous and ugly, so complicated to work on, made out of plastic, and lack soul and character as well.
You are right!, I have a 98 Diesel Silverado paid cash for and I admit I bitch about it a lot but yesterday I installed a new harmonic balancer in about 1 1/2 hrs. At least I can fix stuff on it and the bumpers are real not just weak sheet metal and plastic. Thanks for the response CJ.
CJ Colvin You seem like the type of person that always thinks things were better in the past, like man I loved when black people were treated like animals and we were dropping atomic bombs. those were the days, America was a joke back then, in many ways it still is, maybe one day it will improve.
Well Puff, there are many other places you can live in this planet. Does not sound like the USA is for you. This is a truck channel. I was simply making the economic comparison between costs then and now and any thoughts about race are not here. "What is wrong with you?"
Boy have times changed. yes Ed sadly we cannot talk about the good ole
days without some hater coming out of the woodwork.
Keep up the good work Ed
$36k are they paying me that? I'm paying them that, oh hell no.
thanks for telling us all about what the other engines can do and nothing about this one. great work fast lane truck.
Need to make a 3.3L Towing video!
I picked one up used, 1 year old, XLT, SCREW 4x4 and 3.3L for $30k. Great value. only 19K on the odo. States it can pull upto 7700lbs.
Id really like to see a comparison between the Ford 3.3L and the Ram 3.6L towing.
maz94protege how much did you get it for? They have them in my are for around 22-24k is that a good deal?
Area*
Joel Marlo I paid $30k for mine. 2018 with 18k on it. I think it’s good at 30, under 30 for a super crew Xlt 4x4 is great
maz94protege sweet thanks! They are all 2wd, but that all I need so I’m sure 22k-25k is still a good deal
If ford brought back the i6 4.9 i wouldn't hesitate to buy one
I been saying this for years,we should start a petition...heck if nothen else at least offer the Berra engines in US
Govt regulations would ruin it.
36 for a simple work truck? wtf you can get a loaded trd off road tundra for that
Mario Leporace I've got a 2017 sr5 crewmax quicksand in color with the 5.7, blackout package, 4x2, etc... got it for 37k with almost every option
see options lol the ford is aluminum and plastic lol
Bought a used Black 2014 Tundra SR5 with close to 50k miles on it for about $29k. I love it!
+Mario Leporace You have to pay for safety. Look at the IIHS crash ratings on full-size trucks, the F-150 blows everyone else away. The Tundra has one of the worst ratings of any full-size truck, even worse than Ram. Can you really put a price on your families safety?
Supa Doopa the tundra is third. The ram is always the worst. Why don't you educate yourself before you assume shit. Makes you look stupid, I have faith that you got something in that pebble brain of yours but not much.
We need a 0-60 on that truck.
It's actually quick I beat a stock m3. But my truck probably came with upgrades
baha almost $40k for that thing!?! and here i am looking at used but fully loaded low mileage 4x4 1 ton cummins megacab for that kinda money...get real ford
get back to me when you can form a coherent response
Its true though. Vehicles with a Cummins engine in it rust out well before the engine and transmissions starts breaking down.
yea cuz iv NEVER seen a ford or chevy rust out..........
Type in the search bar right up top there, "Brand new Chevrolet rusting on dealership lot". You will be surprised how many come up.
samsquantch14 you're either buying a ragged out truck with alot of miles or an older one say 2012 2013 for 4ok. you aren't touching a new one for anywhere near that. period.
I can't see why anyone would buy a truck that expensive and have it not come with four-wheel drive.
Either nobody in the comments has ever purchased a new vehicle or they all took their stupid pills. Price out any full-size with a few options and you'll get similar MSRP's. Nobody actually pays MSRP though.
Nobody seems to understand inflation either. 20 years ago an extended cab xlt was about 22,000 dollars, that's 34,000 today. And a 2018 is vastly superior in every way.
With locking differential, that'd be the ticket for most people.
Yup I will just keep driving my 2014 until it falls apart. Still nothing on the new trucks that makes me go "yup I need the new one" my dealership calls me at least once a month trying to get me to trade in on a new one and i just can't do it. My 3.7liter v6 in my stx sport does a great job with everything and even though it's the steel body, truck handles great
Agreed 100% brother, I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 150,000 miles on it and still going strong and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it.
I remember in 2002 when dealerships sold V6 5spd F150 reg cab short bed for $9,995 NEW.
Ok boomer
Got one with 31k miles on it for 20k on payments babyyyy steal of a life time
*Is TFL Truck turning into a Ford commercial?*
36 thousand is insane..........
I got my fully loaded xlt for 43000 with tax and all. Supercrew, 36gal fuel tank, 2.7l, navigation, 4x4, led spotlight mirrors, heated seats, power sliding rear window. Mine was around 39000 before taxes/fees, so why is this 36,285.00 or base at 30,000?? Not really that cheap for a lot of people.
Suggested price is 36k but dealers will probably sell them for 25k or less
Lol. Na.
Wow 36k is cheep? Where I live I can get a new Ram Express, with 4x4, a Hemi and everything the Ford has except start stop! For LESS money!! Or a Chevy Custom Silverado 4x4, with a 4.3, for less!! A lot less! But that also goes for a new 2017 F150! As no one I know hardly ever pays full list. I actually bought a new Colorado Ext Cab Z71,4x4,V6 with more power for 31k!
The 2017 least model (3.5 N/A) is even better: port injection only. The 2018+ has dual injection which doubles the complexity of fuel system. 2x injectors, 2x pumps, 2x rails, 2x wiring, plus complexity of software. The idea of dual injection is a band-aid of direct injection's well known problem. The 2017 least mustang (3.7 N/A) is also the last mustang you can buy with such pure simple engine
I bet that engine will be in the new ranger
Hey TFL Truck. Keep these type of reviews up. Maybe go more in depth into the new engines in the future? For some of us this a work/everyday truck and our only vehicle. I think some folks aren't seeing actually hearing you say "MSRP." Thanks.
These trucks are way over priced but the problem is people still buy them. And not only do they buy them , they buy the most expensive ones. They charge a lot because they know they can get it.
If people are buying, then they aren't overpriced.
They are over priced. But when the demand is high so will the price be high
David P Exactly mate but these Modern car lovers just don't get it and they can call me a Redneck or a HillBilly but my 96 F150 will outlast anything you see on the road today and plus my truck looks better than anything you see on the road today as well.
David P Well if people want a luxury car with a bed, that's their choice, a 90k Ford will last about 15 yrs longer than a 90k Range Rover, in some respects is more versatile, and from what I've heard,trucks hold their value pretty well,like a 15 yr old f 350 is still going for like 10 -15 k whereas a 15 yr old Range Rover is like 4k or less. So although I wouldn't pay that much, I can see why some people do.
My dad just got an XL for 21k and I drove it and I am not much of a truck lover, but I love that truck!
What a rip off. Even the base price of $29,000 is too much. And- that so-called "high strength aluminum" that was supposed to help improve gas mileage.....ya, it didn't help.
I could be wrong but I believe both the RAM and Silverado start at less than that. Shame that Ford has become so expensive.
Nodak81 True but Chevy offers incentives that drop the price more than even Ram let alone Ford. I'm a Mopar guy but Chevy in the end of most cases ends up being the most affordable truck.
I bought this exact truck even the color for 28,500 OTD, during truck month got just over 8,300 in rebates.
Nice Tom. I've seen your comments on the 3.3l throughout youtube. That's a great price. I'm looking for a 2020 with 3.3l 4x4 supercab. Hopefully can get a price under 35k
@@dcross446 I bought mine during truck month, with all the crazy rebates and such. Best of luck too you, search around make them compete for your business.
I’m looking at one of these used with 160k miles. I wonder how long lasting these engines are-reliability over time?
with ford you can get this truck regular cab with or without an 8 foot bed but they option out nearly everything like rear defrost which i like because where i live we have no frost and they also say things like "non limited slip" axle which at first glance looks like limited slip for 95 dollars but its an open diff or a locking diff option for 575 dollars
First thing if you pay 36 for this truck the dealership should give you s big hug! I got my 2017 4wd Super Crew STX 2.7 for 33, go late in the month when the dealership is trying to get that volume bonus and be willing to walk out, I imagine getting 9 or 10 off won’t be to hard to do. 36 is SRP suggested retail price!
why the hell do they have that FART CAN MUFFLER noise?
It's a famous Ford thing.
I was thinking the same thing, I have a 2018 4x4 XL... I didn't pay anywhere near what that guy did, I bought it brand new and the exhaust does not sound like that
I never pay MSRP Knowing the :. Supply vs Demand, dealer incentives, competitors incentives, and a little research will always work in your favor in getting the price you are looking for. The light truck market is the most competitive among the big 3 domestic brands. Happy hunting.
F150 ecoboost 10 speed automatic in TFL truck, they drive low rpm with towing which is 9.1 mpg.
The ecoboost which class are expensive service repair and expensive cost and ones sometime are below 1 mpg.
for 90% of the guys driving trucks I see here this is the right motor choice.... i'm including myself in that, the heaviest i tow is 2000lbs..
I just got my 2018 3.3 f150 crew cab with 4x4 for only $36.996 Canadian dollars. Now that’s a deal
Jeez for 36k you could get a Silverado custom with 4x4 and the 5.3. With incentives, they're even in the low 30s. What a joke this Ford is.
Cory R 30k holy crap I need to do some research cause most dealers are charging 25k for a 2011 Silverado!
Enjoy the shaking/vibrating and cylinder deactivation issues with the 5.3.
Yeah sure, I've never had any problems with my Silverados. My 2013 has 105k on it with just a couple sparkplugs.
With incentives from ford and the dealership, it's more like a 26k truck
Dumbass Liberal well I mean you don't ever pay MSRP (in general) so who cares what it is.
Otto Bauch exactly
And the time spent with your truck being serviced at the dealer will make you wonder why it costs even that much.
+Shit for Brains Liberal
*Then Buy at the End of the Model Year*
+Dragon Butt
*People with No Mechanical Ability and No Money, should find something else to think about besides Brand New Trucks*
I just wish there was aftermarket support for performance for these I just got my 2021 3.3 with the 10 speed transmission and there’s not much I can do to it to build hp :( would be nice to have a lil fun till I get my coyote in it
I'm not a Ford man but this is nice.
36K??? Who can afford new vehicles nowadays?
melikesleepy I guess rich people or typical Modern car lovers that have high pay checks.
Dealers are offering 96 month financing,crazy people out there.
People who don't make minimum wage.
+Supa Doopa Its more like people who make at least 15$ an hour, since, you know, the cost of living is different everywhere but no one can afford a new car on 10$ an hour anywhere. You might get by for under 15 an hour if you live out of your vehicle or live rent free.
*The SMART - SUCCESSFUL - and HARD WORKING can*
And I love it. Even the vinyl seats are freakin awesome. Keep it up guys. Don’t just do the top of the line ones. Do some for the common man lol.
Why is this even remotely considered “cheap”. In 1983 you could buy a Dodge Ram miser, with a 4 speed stick and a slant six for about $6k, equivalent to $15k in 2018 money. I sure as heck wouldn’t be calling a new truck cheap, unless it is under $20k (which still isn’t all that cheap)
TFL please fix your mic in the vehicle test drives, i can barely hear what you are saying until i jack the volume all the way up.
Almost shit myself when he said $36k, also those shirts are terrible. It makes it look like you are wearing suspenders.
Considering in 1997 a new f150 was 25,000 dollars it's know 35,000 dollars that isent bad it's been 20 years and the price went up 10 thousands that isent bad considering with inflation the features are better hp better the over all truck is better made with better material and highergrade materials the price overall isent bad if you look at how much they used to cost
Had one of these as a rental, it was slow as balls but it got 27 mpg with 400lb load from Los Angeles to Vegas.
owen75 No kidding?
Thats damn good.
I would still opt for the ecoboost .
@@jakesmith2984 yup definitely, not sure why they would opt this motor in the 4 door cab, maybe in the single cab it would make more sense.
owen75 Yea I find it odd that they even offer this motor.I mean damn.264 tq with a load going up a hill with a 6speed not a 10...well doesnt sound pleasing.
Wonder what exactly Fords trying to do with this.
Even opting for a.5.0 is onlyn1999 more.Makes zero sense.
It's ridiculous the price of trucks
$36,000?? Ford laughing all the way to the bank. What percentage of that is Ford giving you guys to peddle this crap??
Has Ford already announced when it will start selling the F150 diesel with the French engine manufactured in the UK?
Wow! That is one expensive w/t
Just bought a used 2018 with 16K miles for 28K with 4 Wheel drive & a super cab.
How is it so far?
can you guys do a ike gauntlet with a model x?
Good job Andre
Oh and built in America
All Hemis s are built in Mexico
I can find a 2017 4x4 xlt supercrew f150 under 35k. There are many on Craigslist, or even a 2016 lariet
Considering it a truck it's not bad ppl be driven them for looks wanting the price to be cheap um it's a truck it hauls and works don't you think bc of that ...the price is more.... mustang is a car for 40 grand or like all cars can't do anything but drive so considering it's a truck the price isn't bad either
Just a reminder that 90% of the problems with pickups these days are from additional shit you dont need :D.
But hey, Momma gots to have a sierra denali.
Cheapest F150 you can get is the XL, in the standard cab with none of the nice bells and whistles, for roughly 27k. And that's tax/tag/title included. The one he's driving has all sorts of options.
No manual transmission, no sales...
lol you can get a silverado work truck for 10 grand less, $27,785 to be exact and you can get a ram for even cheaper at $26,495 so 37 for that thing is a waste but thats just *IMO* *IMO* *IMO*
I hope everyone on here that is interested in a pickup understands that all brands (or at least the three domestics) come in priced roughly the same in different price points at different feature levels, and that a base truck 2WD, half-ton MSRPs in the $27K-$28K range before incentives after destination charge. My 2015 F150 truck has the 2.7-liter Ecoboost, which added $800 at the time; it has the chrome bumpers and aluminum wheels, which added $500 at the time; it has the first-level option package, which added $1100 at the time (priced at $2200 but with trim-level incentive; pwr glass, keyless remote, cruise and a few other options like a blue-tooth-like system called Ford Basic), and all added up, including destination, came in at or about $30K. But then there may be incentives at different times in different amounts. Mine was $3,000. Most likely, to do this all again in the same scenario, lets say late Summer 2018 as the 2019s are arriving, a truck configured much like mine will probably MSRP at or about $32K or $33K and then they'll be a similar incentive. But keep in mind, that's with the 2.7-liter EB engine option, and they're sporting the cheaper base engine. So yes, one can absolutely do better than $36K, and I'm not even counting dealer fees and all of that extra a particular dealer may require. That will vary a lot from market to market and based on how much shopping and haggling one is will to do.
Gregory Faulkner Even at $22K its still overpriced for my taste mate.
CJ Colvin So you went to the comment section looking for a new 1/2-tonight pickup under $22K mate? You'll have to shop another universe.
V6 engines are ok. You don't get enough of a difference in fuel economy to say its better than a v8. V6 engines kinda ruin the point of a half ton in my opinion. Someday you will be mad at yourself for buying a v6 instead of a v8 when it only makes a 5 mpg difference in fuel economy and you are considering pulling something that is too much for a v6. I have a 2014 f150 with a 6.2 liter v8. Has hauled many things and my buddy who has a v6 on his 2016 f150 asks me to tow his 3100 pound camper. He has ridden with me while I am towing it and said it rides alot smoother when I pull it as compared to him.
That's retail no one pays that usually about 25 for truck like this buy used but actually more then capable for most truck buyer but folks want more just cause! I'd never pay it though
10 years ago a truck like this would of been mid $20k range. No way in hell would why I pay close to $37k for a base v6 and 2wd
U can tak on about 20k to that price these days
Does this have a 4x4 option?
The "auto stop start feature" is going to annoy most buyers. I have heard you can't permanently disable with without removing the switch and wiring past it?
It's not overpriced, it's just configured poorly. The truck here has roughly the greatest amount of options for an XL. Believe me, they add up. You can configure a truck just as capable for 30-31k.
Fordguy1997 Even at $25K they're still overpriced for my taste and I seriously doubt it'll out last my 96 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8.
CJ Colvin I'm sorry but if 25k is overpriced for you for a full sized truck, you're living in the past. Just look at inflation alone and that accounts for most of it. Also, I can't speak for the rest of it, but the aluminum body will certainly outlast your '96 F150

*Maybe you should Buy a Ranger then*
Ford lovers are so delusional, are you trying to tell us this is worth 36K.. Seriously, a 2WD v6?! Toyota and Ram offer well equipped 4 wheel drive V8s trucks for the same or less money. The stupid bells are whistle add up yes, but that is just gimmicky junk.
Fordguy1997 I doubt that.
It's not really 36k if yall didn't know I just went with my buddy and the stickers say 26k my buddy also got the stx 5.0 2wd 10 speed for 34k and their sticks said 39k...BTW it's smokes the 8 speed hemi check out our videos Death Row Racing tons of mods coming to the new f150 but the trade the Mustang in the videos for the 2.7 ecoboost 10 speed
I bought my 2008 F150 XL new for $12600 the prices of trucks have gotten crazy stupid
They don't tow very well. But, you can somehow get 18 mpg average.
My 2014 4x4 crewmax sr5 tundra 5.7 with bench capable front seat was $38k out the door with 0% Finance.
Thank you for reviewing a more basic truck
Good review. Nice truck. The actual price vs. MSRP causes many confusion. One just like it was at least $4k off on Autotrader. After a few months prices will go down even more. Part of it has to do with earlier production. It's always this way in retail. There's usually never a fixed price.
36000 for a "work truck" no thanks
"The big 3.5 Liter Ecoboost" lol
it's like the ranger they missed the mark on price there to but then so did Chevrolet on the Colorado
That's nuts, don't tax me when they need a bailout. $36K for a work truck. Ridiculous.
Ford doesn't need to take bailouts, that's only Government Motors and Fiat Chrapsler.
Would love to see this thing on the ike on the toughest towing test.
That's MSRP. There are 4wd crew cabs with 2.7L ecoboost brand new at marysville ford in WA for under30k. This new cheaper model can probably be had for 25k. Good bargain! More HP and MPG than the joke 3.5L Tacoma...
Real world prices are always lower than msrp and its a good thing because nobody is going to pay $36k for that.
Why the hell would you settle with this when the 2.7EB and 10sp is a very cheap option?
What's its towing capacity?
I hope you guys can test the baby engine on the ike
both the ram and ford v6s suck compared to the chevy 4.3 workhorse 285hp and 305tq way better usable power
$36,000 is crazy for this truck. My 2011 FX4 Super Cab 5.0L was stickered at $39,900 and back in 2011 (When the FX4's were their own models) my truck was a mid-range model placed between an XLT and a Lariat. Basically, my trucks a 4X4 Lariat with more sporty looking trim and a different interior scheme. But 36K for a base model truck with a base V6? Surely this won't be the ''cheapest'' F-150 Ford offers. I just went to their build and price site and a basic XL bare bones F-150 starts at 27K which is still really expensive for a base model truck, but I doubt the MSRP is going jump from 27K to 36K in a single model year.
And here we are 6 years later when this trucks equivalent cost 50K lmao.
