That 5.0 sounds like a beast in this truck, I can only imagine what it would sound like with a dual exhaust
Your filming makes me dizzy
I must have seen thousands of videos about the F-150, yet you showed lots of features I didn't know. Subscribed.
dvillalba3d thanks! I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed the video 👍
just ordered my 2020 f150 lariat from factory .. I was originally going to get the 3.5L ecoboost but I actually switched it up to the 5.0L .. I took both out for a spin and just loved the feel and sound of the V8! nothing against the ecoboost and they are fast too, but it’s all personal preference and to me the V8 just makes the truck pure awesome
I’ve driven both the ecoboost and the lariat v8 2018 models, the ecoboost is definitely faster. But the rumble of the v8 can’t be beat.
It's not a damn race car lol
ThatOneIntrovert the ecoboost feels pretty close lol that baby can gooooo
It’s not that big of a difference the eco boost goes 0-60 in 5.65 and the 5.0 goes 5.72 but that’s with both trucks fitted with the 3.55 rear ratio and not the 3.31 that most trucks come with
It has no low end torque, and that’s what you need in a truck. Good engine to go for ice cream tho
Great Video! I am a self proclaimed F-!50 "Addict" 20 Yrs. of buying them, Ford Amazes me Every new year. There is No competition when comparing the F- Series to any/all competitors. Chevy trucks will always rattle & 40k, the F-150 @ 100,000 miles still drives like a brand new truck. I see you have (1) thumbs down, Obviously a chevy truck guy. Join The F-150 Nation bro..
75michaelsimons hahahaha you might be right about the thumbs down 😂 I love the F-series as well. This latest gen F-150 is leading the pack.
Had two new fords,both were JUNK! My F-150 was in the shop 3 times before it had 20 k on it. FORD'S SUCK!!!!
No competition? Were have you been ? 2019 dodge ram won truck of the year for a reason . Fords have ALOT of issues I belive you that you've had good luck with yours but they are still not the best and that does not help all the other f150 owners having issues they are too light and need to be in 4x4 for everything even rain so they dont hydroplane. Fords on icy roads are lovly to they like to come sideways it's a free thrill . Dodge beats ford in EVERY aspect it's actually proven even in fuel mileage with putting out more hp and now they have the most hp in there diesel engine 1000 ft lbs torque stock . The ford has more pickup speed ( not high end ) ram still owns the f150 top end . but that's because of the light weight from the " military grade aluminum that you can tear apart by hand " . Stock engine to stock engine the ram has more raw hp than any of its competitors and has all kinds of room for improvement with mods were the Ford EcoBoost is already running extremely hard to achieve less hp not to mention it sounds like a sewing machine on steroids and runs high rpm all the time so it's very annoying and loud. Sorry to ruin your day but I'm only going by the proven facts ... not trying to be a know it all but know your facts before you go on TH-cam pretending to know what your talking about when your just a typical ford owner that puts a blind eye to what's real . Go test drive a new 2019 ram sport with 22inch rims and let me know how great your ford is.
scramblinman 101 Dodge has the same problem it’s always had.
I have the 2018 sport with the Coyote engine and it is a beast.
Just for fun raced my friend who just bought a Ram 1500 with the 5.7 and I destroyed him.
I will say that his interior was extremely nice but knowing all the problems that Dodge has had in the past i wasn't going to take a chance of buying a lemon
Such a lovely sounding v8......sadly they gonna kill emm off someday
Your narration kinda reminds me of Nutnfancy.
Getting mine 2019 lariat 5.0 v8 Friday...I'm very excited...great video.
Any issues so far? How many miles you got on it so far?
How’s the truck holding up?
@@StoneyBurq 50k miles perfect!
@@hijodepuuu perfect 50k miles
A lariat with no remote start and no center console??? 🤔
Love the six seater
He didn't know the truck included remote start or get Sync connect and you can't start from your phone
A center console is standard, 6 seat is optional if I remember correctly.
Gus Goose agreed. Plus you can keep your lady next to you.
That flip up seat is what all trucks should have an option for.
Even tho the ecoboost has a lot of power, nothing beats the sound and rumble of a naturally aspirated V8
I just got a 2018 XLT sport with the 2.7 EcoBoost and I love mine to yeah the v8 is awesome two but when it comes to torque the EcoBoost is the same as the big v8 with lower rpm but beautiful truck bud
Just ordered my 2019 lariat v8 supercab with all the bells and whistles...can't wait...thanks for the video
Pay 50 grand for a truck and then drive it like you stole it? Lol
me too 2020 Lariat spot package with factory rebate 47k 0% interested...im a haply camper now.🤗👍👍👍👍
@gobi
It ain’t his truck! 😀
All you get from the 8 is the sound the EcoBoost outperforms in every other way horsepower torque towing
And let's not forget the dependability of the faithful 5.0 vs the 6 cylinder. That's why I bought one W 5.0
Excellent video, love the POV!! Just bought an 18. But seriously....get out of the left lane lmao ;)
TheOfficerBell LOL right? 😂 and thanks I appreciate it and congrats on the new truck! I loved it!
Drove a GMC Sierra before loved it but the Ford F150 pickup seems better in all features
LOLOLOL I love hearing the BS about linear power and how it "COYOTE" pulls compared to the EcoBoost. I hate to break it to you but Ford has Engineered the same basic pull however stronger in the EB. You need to drive one and be truthful about it. The Rumble of the V8 is deceiving like the beautiful looks and allure of a WOMAN! Please give the Eco-Boost the props it deserves or design a test that scientifically explains both engines!. Then crown a winner!
The ecoboost does pull harder I went and test drove both back to back before deciding on my 18 ecoboost
Nope, EB is crap! Got rid of my F150 with EB because Ford wouldn't fix the timing chain stretch issue. 5.0 all the way. May not pull as much but is going to last you a lot longer.
@james Sullivan
So you got rid of the EB and bought a 5.0 that burns oil and ford can’t figure out what the internal clacking noise it is making. Good choice buddy, you’ll be looking for another truck soon, that v8 won’t last
Ford put the mustang motor in the truck
dillon bell except it’s not... that’s like saying Chevy puts the corvette engine in the Silverado... they might be the same displacement but they make completely different power.
@firestarter
It’s the same car engine, that’s why it doesn’t make any power till over 3500 rpm, eco has all 400 ft lb of torque coming in at 2750 rpm, made for pulling
5.0 is nice...But the 2.7 EcoBoost walks the 5.0
david czapla I can fully back this comment as I am completely sold on my 2.7. Best bang for the buck imo
I am Jeffry Miller and I support this message.
david czapla well we dont buy trucks for speed. We buy em to primarily pull things, sit up high, and hear it roar! The V6 maybe a speedy but its not blowing the doors off the v8 and its definitely faaar inferior in sound and pullin power
MrInzombia I’ve smoked tons of v8s in my 2.7.
MrInzombia correct me if I’m wrong, but the 3.5 out pulls the 5.0, and the 2.7 is damn close to it. Sure, the 5.0 sounds cool, but that’s all it has over the EcoBeasts.
I love my 2018 lariat with the 3.5 ecoboost second generation
Boss Man the 2nd gen 3.5 EB is awesome. I just drove it in the 2018 Expedition (video coming soon) but haven’t tested it in the F-150 yet. How do you like the 10-speed?
The Test Drive it's great and very smooth, I don't really feel the shifting unless I'm having a bit of fun with it in sport mode. I also like how it will skip gears depending on how u accelerate.
Boss Man same, I was worried it would be constantly shifting but it actually holds gears appropriately based on what you’re trying to do and the driving mode you’re in. And I really like cruising at 75+mph and running only 1,300 rpms!
Wow can you make a whole video with that SUNSET!!!! Not much of a truck girl but I can definitely be feelin' that Lariat! Great vid.
Great review. Keep it going
Wow, this vehicle has the "Portal" option that can transfer you from place to place in connection with your GPS. What a fuel saver! Eat your HEART out Captain Kirk!
Great help. I just purchases a 2018 lariat. Waiting on delivery. Thanks for the overview
I wonder if the F-150 is the king of the road? Or is RAM 1500 king of the road?
I would laugh my ass off if I cop busted you for having your license plates covered
when you put on night mode on the infotainment system does it stay like that till you turn it off? or do you gotta switch it back on when you start the vehicle?
Why are the doors opening and closing all the time? Isn't that dangerous?
Love this truck
Where are you and in 2020 what kinda prices are fair for this vehicle used?
This is my baby 😢😫. I need and want this one!
mucho divertido. csm...
I would be surprised if it did not have remote start that is standard now.
Powerstroke 6.7 so remote start is included with the 501A package ($2,000 and also gets you BLIS and a few other things) but this truck only had the 500A package. Most Lariats you’ll see at the dealer probably have the 501A package.
Actually it's not standard.
good man, I wouldnt want the Ecobust v6 either,v8 for this guy also
Great video! I subscribed!
thanks man! I really appreciate it!
good video but its not yours,,,,its a rental!!
I just drove a 3.5 ecoboost for two days moving stuff into storage. From what I read the 2.7 has less lag, which baffles me.
It has quite a bit of turbo lag. I drive a 2013 wrx and this thing has almost as much.
Literally floor it off the line, the truck will accelerate to 10mph and then the turbos will light and spin the rear tires. It’s pretty quick and has a ton of midrange power. But it also has poor turbo response at the low end.
Once you’re moving it’s not a problem because it will downshift quickly and the auto does a great job of keeping boost up,
Firestarter 2.7 is a beast I’ve got 30k on mine now
WESpower13 I’ve never driven the two seven but everyone seems to love it.
Kinda makes you think why didn’t ford use it in the ranger
I dislike push to start......
center console shifts for cars.man
Well this truck has a car based engine so...
This is really basic lariat.
What is the gear ratio on this truck?
Great video 👍
The RPM's in the 9th and 10th gear would mean more if you can say which axle ratio this truck has: 3.31, 3.55, or 3.73?
Jason Roy I am almost 100% positive that this was the 3.31
Jason Roy Almost all the axle ratios for the v8 super crew cabs is 3.31
My Truck
Great review !
How does a lariat not have those basic trim items
Because they're optional
For me looks like a XLT... not remote start.. not center console.. not step
Except you can’t get leather in an XLT. This was a VERY basic Lariat with absolutely no options. I was surprised!
Leather seats = Lariat or higher.
Subscribed, nice job
shannon connolly thank you!
Great video!!!👍
Wow,auto 4x4,what a breaktrough,gm's had that feature for the last 15 years or more,
Beautiful truck. But I don’t see why people would get a 5ft bed tho
Luis Crespo yeah I love the F-150 but the small bed in this one isn’t going to fit much other than a snow blower. I guess if you don’t plan on hauling anything and just want a truck for the looks and potentially off-road capability then this would be just fine.
Depends on what you do with it. I’m a sales rep and sometimes carry a pallet of material up to 1800 lbs but most the time carrying a bunch of samples and marketing material to meetings and have to maneuver and park in small spots in downtown LA so for me the 5ft bed works great. Plus with plenty of room to have customers sit in the back seat with a crew cab when I have to take a 2 or 3 of my customers out to lunch. Probably just one of many examples of why people go with the 5 ft.
Because they carry people more times than they carry cargo, or they need to tow 6000-7000 pounds and have little need for cargo (like me). It's really very simple.
You probably forgot that trucks tow trailers too, don’t need a long bed for that
Getting an Xlt sport w/ a 5.0 next week , can’t wait!!!!!
sweet! congrats!
5.0 or nothing for me. I plan on buying one in two or three years. If they drop the V8 I'm going to GM.
I hear they have “confirmed” a 7.0L Raptor (after previously hearing the rumors were false) so I am thinking Ford wants to keep the V8s around. If I was buying an F-150 I’d get a V8 as well.
I would hope so.
What if GM drops their V8?
lol
lienar power... the 2.7 has like no lag and beats th 5.0 in 1/4 mile
Gooody17 5.0’s are for real men
Yes barely though
2.7 Is for people that just want to cruse around in a truck.
Not true.
Put a turbo on the 5.0.....
It's a rental.
Miguel Anguiano forget about rental car but this truck was pretty much tested and finished did you wonder why most of vehicle in this days they break up after you drive them six months off the lot dealer this's why people like this beat the Fuck of this vehicle 🚗 they don't care who is going to pay 50,000 from the lot be aware and very carefully when buying a new vehicle in this days which means we are living in the Last Days God blessed you
So?
If u want old school and want power and sound v8 for a good lasting engine that’s way to go u want good gas mileage and quiteness like a tesla then EcoBoost is way to go u decide but U won’t know if u got good trubos or not that will last or cost u a pretty penny to change later after a good 100000 mileage
@killer mobile
And you don’t know if that v8 is gonna last to 100,000 the way it eats oil and makes strange noises, you may end up buying another $10,000 v8
Zero respect for this df.
I will not buy this until they get rid of that wire antenna goddamn it 😑
loro trimi Bro it has lots of aftermarket antennas
There is a good reason for that antenna - low clearance garages. If your antenna hits, check to see if your roof will clear. Bet you didn't think of that.
biggest joke with ford you need to pay for a Lariat just to get leather.
I know it would be nice if you could get a basic leather package in the XLT
That thing is begging for a tune and a run to 7.5k rpm
Stay_salty_fam a tune would be sweet 👍
السلام عليكم
apparently no one else noticed but in some footage the console screen is all black (which I like) and later in the video its white and blue. What makes it change?
Mike Jones it’s based on the time of day and works in conjunction with the automatic headlights. When the car perceives “night time” the screen background changes to black. When it perceives “day time” it’s white. Helps to make it easier on your eyes.
And you can choose which one you want whenever but the day (white) screen is blinding at night lol. Both settings have dimming features though.
short box crew cab, basically a suv
Incorrect, and that's why they make so many configs.
TH-cam Short box actually looks the best though. Long box single cab is the ugliest lookin thing and should only exist on construction sites.
50k truck and no remote start you can get a 30k Chevy with remote start
Zack Shales depends on how you customize it
Should have at least the 501A package with remote start for that price
Zack Shales fuck a piece of shit Chevy!!!!!
You DO realize remote start is an option? Why does anyone NEED remote start anyway?
