i love the platinum lettering on the end of the bed. i was suprised to see it not carried over from the 2016 version. Did you just order the same letters from the 2016 model and put them on there?
Yes that's exactly what I did. I'm probably going to remove the 4x4 off road sticker also as it doesn't go with the theme I'm going for. I've done some more modifications too it recently. New vid coming soon!
P J Flintstone Take a hair dryer to it and slowly warm it up to get the sticky stuff soft.... start peeling one corner gently with a finger nail. Won’t take much if u warm it up properly.... then peel er off warming as u go.... simple process. Hair dryer works good cause it’s not overly hot. I’ve seen heat guns do damage if you’re not careful....
Matthew Quigley that’s exactly what i did. FX4 stickers are off and looks muuuch better now with just the Platinum lettering. New video will be up soon showing it. 🤙🏽
Dude your truck is fucking perfect... Sorry if there are any kids reading these but sometimes you have add a little emphasis. I think the crew cab standard bed is a great configuration but only if you're going to buy it in a high trim level, such as this one. I also totally see what you're doing with trim, handles and tailgate wrapping then in black, very tasteful changes. Nice to see you didn't ruin it by murdering it out smoking all the lights, de-badging everything or blacking out lettering. Just very well done and a great specification to boot. Nice work.
I love it!! I've had 2012 F150 a 2007 F250 and now a 2015 F150. There is such a different feeling when driving a disesel especially when you give it a intake and exhaust pipes with a tune it like makes it come to life. Probably when I pay off this F150 I'll go back to F250 since diesel gas so much easier to get when a hurricane happens here in Florida. I love my F150 bit like I said a F250 to me feel so damn good and the diesel engine really good too.
Nice truck , gorgeous, strong, powerful, a lot gadgets . But at this time Ford are very expensive 😌 no to many people can afford. I love ♥️💪 Ford super duty 💯 %
If you want more offroad capability get flush fitting front and rear bumpers with integrated winches/lighting (keep it tight though, like the rest of the truck, of course) then add a multitude of underbody protection mods. Breakover angle isn't something you find in a pickup anyway so focus on protecting the underbody as much as possible and improving the approach and departure angles by replacing the front and rear bumpers. Also if you add larger wheels and tires just make sure you spare as much time and money as necessary when integrating the new size into your setup, idk if your shocks are adjustable or if you know how to dial in new settings in your suspension. Sometimes the camber or toe angles get thrown off with different tires and or wheels so what happens to your new tires is the wear pattern is biased and things go downhill from there. I've seen it happen to many people where the driving characteristics were deeply impacted and the vehicle became twitchy, loud and just a pain in the ass to drive. Not to mention things begin to break, transfer cases, axles or what have you. It's a simple mod that must be approached with caution and in some cases a consultant.
Awesome video. How easy is it to work around the bed cover? I will do a lot of tailgating and wondering if I will have to take it on and off every week to get my grill in my bed? Just curious to what the cost of this truck is and what it runs monthly? Thanks again for the video.
It was the old SD cab design that made me choose a RAM mega cab back in 2015 when I was in the market for a new truck. The prior SD cab had a small back seat with limited leg room and a very upright rear seat. Great truck from a capability standpoint but I just found the cab to be lacking. I'm glad to see that Ford got it right for the 2017 model year.
This truck is beautiful! I'm looking at picking up a 2017 King Ranch. I'm looking to delet and tune it tho... have you done that to yours yet? If so dose it run a lot better? How's the mpg "Stock vs Tuned?" I live in Cali so It's Risky to tune and delet over here but I still think it's worth it
Hello. How about aluminum body of this vehicle, is it so strong like steel body? You are the owner of this truck & you know this real, so in your oponion & with your experience, how strong is aluminum body & is it more durable then steel?
I have 600 miles on my new 2017 f 150 Platinum, 4x4 v6 with tech package. It wouldn't start today and had to have it towed. It was flashing different messages on dash and was clicking under the hood and making noises then I started smelling burning. Anyone else had this happen. I am worried.
What kind of leather cleaner do you use? I got the same truck but white with the maroon leather. cleaners ive used seem to be removing the color off my seats .
Hey man, love your truck! how many inches is you're lift? And I was planing on soon upgrading from f-150 to f-250 because I'm thinking about buying a bigger RV (about 10,000 LBS) and I don't know if my f-150 can pull that easily? what do you think?
Exquisite Vidz thanks bud. Leveling kit in the front is 2.5 inches. Rear is stock. At 10,000 lbs depending on how your F150 is configured it should be able to tow it, but pretty much maxed out. The F250 will tow that with no issues and less stress on the truck. Hope that helps
If I get that RV i'll probably get the f-250 because I would be towing it for a an hour or two on the highway and wouldn't want put that kind of stress on the f-150 from what your telling me. Anyway, I really appreciate the help. Have a good one.
which ford are you talking about with the hard steering? the 2017 and 2018 I drove had assisted steering at lower speeds and higher speeds was good, loved both of them
I have the same truck and have been debating for months which wheels to get. I'd like fuel octane 22x14 in black. What lift do you think I'd need though?
can you make a video about how much it cost what options you get and how can i afford one haha what purpose you use it for thanks liked the truck a lot
I'm considering a 2018. Would really like to know how much you got off the sticker price when you bought this. I had a 2016 king ranch and didn't care for it. May give the 2018 platinum a try. Nice looking truck. Did they deal with you or not?
Rodney Myers I have the 2018 6.2 platinum. It was about 4k off the sticker and then 1k rebate. I don't have the exact numbers in front of me but can look later if you like. I found out that and decent dealer will give you the same "invoice price" which is a few thousand under msrp. Then it's usually rebates that drop it even more.
I have the same truck and love it! However, my local freeway has a lot of little cracks on the road. Is it normal that the truck has some “jiggle” when going on the freeway with these rough roads? It’s my first half ton truck so that might come with the territory
My goodness you’ve only got 4000 miles on it in 3 months? Lol I’ve got 4000 on my ‘19 f250 diesel after 5 weeks. Did you ever tell how it’s been to own?
Awesome truck! - although my question is... I've played around with Ford's configuration on it's website, and F-250 and F-350 are of relatively similar price... say F-250 Platinum base price and F-350 Platinum base price is just about $1,000 difference... on 71k base price, 1k difference seems pretty tiny... why not go ahead and get the F-350 instead??
pininfarina575 Good question. I noticed that as well however the configuration I was looking for was hard to find as is at the time I got it and I wanted to avoid ordering one. Also I don’t need the extra payload capacities as the 250 is plenty for my needs. I got a good deal on this one and just couldn’t pass it up
pininfarina575 I have a f250. Neighbor has the 350. One difference is how you register it. 350 is at a different level and more expensive to register. At least here in FL
pious human no doubt I considered it. However I’m looking to get a boat that’s going to weigh in the 15k lb to 18k lb range so the Raptor wouldn’t have been able to handle that kind of weight.
Holly Taylor , nope doesn’t the void the warranty. Ford obviously just wouldn’t cover the new shocks if they fail, Fox does have a separate warranty for the shocks themselves.
Okay. Doesn't the new body style look anorexic compared to the 2016s and below?? I was behind a 2017 today and it looked like skinny. Anybody know if they shaved off a foot from the width??
The RAM fit and finish is nicer and the gauge area is nicer in the RAM as well. I'm surprised how much plastic tab looking buttons in the cab. I can't see that truck lasting more than five years looking good.
Any truck should last past five years, yes that includes an FCA product Don’t believe me? Look at reliability articles and websites. FCA has brands/models down the list. No hate, just stating that RAM still has a long way to go to change that image
It's a gloss black wrap that matched the color of the truck perfectly. The shop I used had a few black options and this one matches perfectly. If you're in the south Florida area you can check them out. RodWraps is their name.
True, 80k for a truck is ridiculous. I paid 20k more for my house! And my job makes $15 an hour yet I barely get by after paying bills gas food and whatever. I couldn't afford the down payment on this thing after all that lol, my car only cost $10k 2014 impala lt.

RnD Diesel how much does it cost to wrap the shiny bits? Or did you do it uour self? I have the same color
Yep.....I'm jealous! Beautiful truck!
Now that is an exceptional report there fella.
Really like what you had done to the tailgate. Looks much cleaner on a black truck IMO.
Dude your truck is fucking perfect... Sorry if there are any kids reading these but sometimes you have add a little emphasis.

That truck is begging for a boat behind it.
Thanks for the review Rob.
I thought this was supposed to be your review on owning it for 3 months? Not what the truck has and does.
I love it!! I've had 2012 F150 a 2007 F250 and now a 2015 F150. There is such a different feeling when driving a disesel especially when you give it a intake and exhaust pipes with a tune it like makes it come to life.

Best truck out there by far in my opinion
Truck is amazing - beauty & power!
Gorgeous rig! Congratulations and good luck with it!!

Beautiful truck and great video man.You got good taste.

Just curious to what the cost of this truck is and what it runs monthly? Thanks again for the video.
Cool truck man! I'm personally a fan of debadge-ing but overall sounds like you love your purchase.
Great review..I bought a 2016 2 yrs ago.. wish I held out... Hate sync 2 and love the new larger rear cab area among other things..
It was the old SD cab design that made me choose a RAM mega cab back in 2015 when I was in the market for a new truck. The prior SD cab had a small back seat with limited leg room and a very upright rear seat. Great truck from a capability standpoint but I just found the cab to be lacking.

I just bought my first 2018 lariat f250 diesel truck a week a ago
I cant wait ti take my family on s trip

The tailgate wrap is killer
good call on getting the wrap on the back.. i like the blacked out look as compared to the silver the use.
That might be the best available option to you !!!
Hello. How about aluminum body of this vehicle, is it so strong like steel body? You are the owner of this truck & you know this real, so in your oponion & with your experience, how strong is aluminum body & is it more durable then steel?
If you just got something how do you know it's reliable?
Nice review. You got to love those colored lights and the massaging seats.
who did your tailgate? is it a literal wrap or is it painted? I would certainly prefer the paint match over the silver color.
Great review. What did the leveling kit cost you? How has this diesel ran?
Leveling kit was cheap I think it was around $250. So far this motor has been a beast!! No complaints at all.
Very cool thanks pal! Looks super Sharp!!
Definitely getting one pretty soon! Going to keep my Denali HD as a backup truck though
What difference between platinum and limited ?
Beautiful, I've been considering one of these.
I have 600 miles on my new 2017 f 150 Platinum, 4x4 v6 with tech package. It wouldn't start today and had to have it towed. It was flashing different messages on dash and was clicking under the hood and making noises then I started smelling burning. Anyone else had this happen. I am worried.
925 foot pounds. Im new to trucks but Holy God that's a lot.
I just got the V8 gas engine on my F-250 Platinum. Amazing truck!
Is it me or should this truck come with some beefier tires? It seems like this truck is riding on stilts with these skinny tires.
That's my dream vehicle now! I never knew Ford trucks can be fancy! Did you take it for work? Is it ok as a daily driver?
The best truck ever I love it
Very nice truck Rob Miret!👍🏽👍🏽
What kind of leather cleaner do you use? I got the same truck but white with the maroon leather. cleaners ive used seem to be removing the color off my seats .
Hey man, love your truck! how many inches is you're lift? And I was planing on soon upgrading from f-150 to f-250 because I'm thinking about buying a bigger RV (about 10,000 LBS) and I don't know if my f-150 can pull that easily? what do you think?

Is it reliable. That's what makes a good truck.
I loved this truck but the one thing that made me go for the GMC was how hard the steering was on the Ford.
which ford are you talking about with the hard steering? the 2017 and 2018 I drove had assisted steering at lower speeds and higher speeds was good, loved both of them
I drove the 2017
I am regretting the GMC purchase from a shaking problem inherent in many of them. GM can't fix mine and they have sucked on followup
I have the same truck and have been debating for months which wheels to get. I'd like fuel octane 22x14 in black. What lift do you think I'd need though?
Time to put bigger tires on it.. the ones you have on now are small
Stunning truck.
can you make a video about how much it cost what options you get and how can i afford one haha what purpose you use it for thanks liked the truck a lot
This is my dream truck. Does it have Android Auto?
Hows it holding up? I'm thinking about trading my f150 plat. in for one.
😍😍😍 great video
Is that the long bed 8' or the short? Looks super big
I'm considering a 2018. Would really like to know how much you got off the sticker price when you bought this. I had a 2016 king ranch and didn't care for it. May give the 2018 platinum a try. Nice looking truck. Did they deal with you or not?

I found out that and decent dealer will give you the same "invoice price" which is a few thousand under msrp. Then it's usually rebates that drop it even more.
Where did you get that wrap done for the tailgate? Looks awesome.
Thanks bud, I used RodWraps, they're located in Miami, FL. Here's their page instagram.com/rodwraps/?hl=en
Beautiful Super Duty !
Outstanding truck.
I have the same truck and love it! However, my local freeway has a lot of little cracks on the road. Is it normal that the truck has some “jiggle” when going on the freeway with these rough roads? It’s my first half ton truck so that might come with the territory
lpmoora 3/4 ton
How much does this truck cost I love it
Does this truck have the puddle lights like the mustang do.
What kind of MPG are getting in the city and highway?
My goodness you’ve only got 4000 miles on it in 3 months? Lol I’ve got 4000 on my ‘19 f250 diesel after 5 weeks. Did you ever tell how it’s been to own?
Awesome truck! - although my question is...

pininfarina575 I have a f250. Neighbor has the 350. One difference is how you register it. 350 is at a different level and more expensive to register. At least here in FL
The only differance is an extra leaf spring and badges.
Same brakes and same axles.
The rear end gears are different F350 made for towing.
Is the child seat standard fit? I understood that the f250 didn't have the anchors for a child seat
niscomok I have this model and it does have the anchors. We have a baby seat fitted.
How did you color match all that stuff?
I wrapped all the chrome pieces.
In another video the grill is painted but everything else is a wrap
The real question is are you going to do the DELETE’s? DPF/EGR?
beozzie690 Absolutely!!
Nice truck. I love my 2016 ruby red platinum but I think I'm going to he trading for a 2017 platinum ruby red.
Where is the review of the towing, power delivery, trans shifting, throttle response, brake feel, all the things that you need a truck like this for?
@RnD Diesel I know I'm posting a question way late but what wrap did you use?
c0nstancy it was a company in Miami called Rod Wraps. You can find them on Instagram. They do good work.
Sick truck no doubt but why not get a raptor at the same price?
pious human no doubt I considered it. However I’m looking to get a boat that’s going to weigh in the 15k lb to 18k lb range so the Raptor wouldn’t have been able to handle that kind of weight.
Does the 2017 have the latch system for car seats?
It can definitely pull a house or a boat with that engine, hell my Dodge Dakota pulled a boat 😂
Changing the shocks void your warranty?
Holly Taylor , nope doesn’t the void the warranty. Ford obviously just wouldn’t cover the new shocks if they fail, Fox does have a separate warranty for the shocks themselves.
Is that the 176in wb with the 8ft box?
Okay. Doesn't the new body style look anorexic compared to the 2016s and below?? I was behind a 2017 today and it looked like skinny. Anybody know if they shaved off a foot from the width??
You said 6 cameras...I count 5...1 front,2 Side mirrors, 1 for the bed and 1 for towing/backup..=5..where is the 6th one?
Nahashon Njoroge there’s one in the rear view mirror
f250 is better than f150 raptor??
What are you hauling or pulling?
sideskraft 30ft Center console fishing boat
That pair must make a pretty sight going down the road
I owned one a year ago, kept it for about a month and took it back for a raptor, much better choice, one i should have made from the start.
Did you add the platinum lettering on the sides?
Yep I did that myself... not sure if I'm going to keep them or not... still debating it
Do you tow w it?
i have a second hand yaris ... wzup bro
The RAM fit and finish is nicer and the gauge area is nicer in the RAM as well. I'm surprised how much plastic tab looking buttons in the cab. I can't see that truck lasting more than five years looking good.
Devo Dar @ Why are you watching the video if your Ram is so great? Are you just a little butt hurt that you bought the wrong truck? lol
Any truck should last past five years, yes that includes an FCA product
Don’t believe me? Look at reliability articles and websites. FCA has brands/models down the list. No hate, just stating that RAM still has a long way to go to change that image

Rob Miret TufSkinz Platinum inserts with line or did they cut out letters?
Q Williams They cut out the letters
Aqui no Brasil nunca. Só sonhar.
الله يعطيني خيره و يكفيني شره
wonderful truck but youre never gonna use it as a truck so whats the point?
Very good! If you need any free music for your content, come browse through the playlist's i have, i think they would really imrpove your content!
Needs wheels and tires that fit.
Theodore Aniskoff agree 100%. They’re on the list for sure
I want this truck
Whats your occupation?
Damn why u the police😒
Truck bed covered up and never been used.
Must be good to have money lol man so jelly
What do you do to be able to afford a truck like this
Whatever it is, it's not what you and I do! I am in the wrong profession!
True, 80k for a truck is ridiculous. I paid 20k more for my house! And my job makes $15 an hour yet I barely get by after paying bills gas food and whatever. I couldn't afford the down payment on this thing after all that lol, my car only cost $10k 2014 impala lt.
You got a house for a $100k? Holy crap where do you live
Taxes must have been ridiculous too
badass truck
최고네요
Can’t get all that on a High country or ram
I call it the bitch step, Man.
But I am a huge fan of blacking out the rear platinum badge.
I think "super duty" on the hood is dumb
6 cameras? Counted 5 while he was doing video.... 🤦🏻♂️
Platinum (Platinum)
Platinum
Love it, but take a little longer and move a little slower. I feel like I'm watching the kids play a video game. Makes me dizzy/
DEF system is problem
i have a 2002 f250.. this shit is too much
