- The F-150 is the top selling truck in America. This F-150 Platinum takes the truck world to a new level. Under the hood is a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 pumping out 375 HP & mated to a 10 speed automatic gearbox. The exterior is featured in a new color for 2020 and still has the same distinctive body lines. On the inside feel, fit, and finish are premium level. Is the the 2020 Ford F-140 Platinum the best truck to buy?

To be honest joe, we all have our likes, ive said before im a ram truck man for many reasons.. i love that you always show all the truck videos, love and respect you. Keep up the great work. Your the MAN!!!!
F150 is still the King for me.
The competition is not only between RAM, Silverado and Sierra.
We used to forget the Toyota Tundra 1794, it's a very tough truck too.
Nice review Joe, and to be honest, the Best in Class is You Pal.
Looking to move out of a Chevrolet and into a Ford truck. This video certainly helped with deciding the type of trim package I would go after. That said, the 2020 Ram Longhorn and Nissan Titan Platinum also seem appealing. Will have to watch a few more videos:)
Joe is that touch screen “yes it is because I’m touching it” 😂
Legal Fiction thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
Jazzy hands touches everything...
😄
InstaBlaster.
Yes definitely more Ford truck reviews great content keep it coming can't wait for your review of the 2020 gt500.
Thanks for saying that Anthony! It is on the way!
1:17 I have a magma red f150 and sure sometimes the color looks a little meh compared to a bright red or blue, like you don't really know if you like it. Then you look at it when the sun is shining and it looks BEAUTIFUL, it literally sparkles.
I totally agree with you!
My first used pickup truck!! Great job Joe.
Utility and function is my top priority, looking at left over 2020 XL 5.0 4x4's, I'll find one eventually. Good review Joe.
I Love this! One thing is for certain, there is enough room for all snacks on board the cab. No storing of the Lay’s in the back. 😂😂😂
Thanks for letting me bring some snack laughs to you!
I have a '17 F-150 Platinum in Black, and I LOVE IT! I get all kinds of compliments. Very comfortable, no issues at all. I love the power deployed running boards. The ONLY thing missing is the ventilated rear seats and massaging rear seats. Would be nice if they added heated and cooled cup holders too, oh and a heated armrests.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Really liked the sense of humor, knowledge and the honesty unbiased opinions
Brilliant camera position its like we're in the car also nice job raitis ride
Love the Costco size Lays chips reference 😂 haha. I work for lays I can’t believe that size bag can fit in the armrest
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you! It is mind blowing the amount of space,
I like how he uses food and chips to give us a better understanding
Jazzy hands strikes again! Great review keep those hands dancing!😁
Heck yeah! Thanks for the compliment!
I can’t argue anything cause I love Ford,Ram,Chevy I’m a big fan of cars/Trucks and that includes exotic cars and etc...
Just another great review!
Radisfy that means a lot!
This guy’s reviews been getting good since I started watching his vids. Pretty cool style he got like the “zonks” lol
I am a simple man
I see your new clip, I watch and press like
That really means a lot! Thanks for your dedication!
I have a 2019 XLT. I love my truck with the exception of one thing: the damn antenna! Thank you for expressing discontent of it. I’m happy to know I’m not the only one.
You are definetly not alone in that discontent! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
You can buy stubby antennas www.amazon.com/Rydonair-Compatible-2009-2020-Optimized-Reception/dp/B07WTZK6RH/ref=asc_df_B07WTZK6RH/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385546071587&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1497779944841481282&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9060222&hvtargid=pla-825713115254&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=78881076375&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385546071587&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1497779944841481282&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9060222&hvtargid=pla-825713115254
Those antennas are on most trucks because they provide a clearance guide for underground parking lots.
I had a 2019 model a few weeks ago for a rental for a day, and really enjoyed it. I was surprised that Enterprise rents the Platinum trim.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
When they can't sell them retail, it goes to rental companies.
@@Anon1mous It's not that they can't sell them retail, I see a lot of Platinums on the road. It's just that you wouldn't expect a rental fleet to have trucks that nice (from what I understand, Enterprise rents GMC Sierra 1500 Denalis, Ford F-150 King Ranches and Platinums, and RAM 1500 Laramie Longhorns and Limiteds. I haven't seen a Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country in a rental fleet yet, so I'm guessing they don't rent them.
Beautiful truck and colour on interior is nice.
I am so glad that yo like this one.
I have an 18 Just like that, same color and interior color. I love it. Can't wait to see how Ford steps it up in 2021 to beat Ram. Going to take a LOT to match what Ram has.
Joe is that a touch screen lol so funny great job guy's
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
Uve failed to mention with the Dodge Ram u get the rusted out rear wheel wells after two years of driving free of charge !!!
Ford are such piece of shits cant even be a car hauler dodge has 2003 car hollers with half a milion miles allday
I've been waiting for this
I hope it was worth the wait!
15:54 look at the Ford F-150 on the right side of the screen, that's the 1 I really want to see. The 2020 Ford F-150 Lariat Black Sport Edition 🙏🏼.
I might have to review that one just for you!
@@RaitisRides Sure Cool Beans Joe Bro I'll stay tuned 👍.
“Yes it is because I’m touching it, and it’s doing things” 😂😂😂
I mean he’s not wrong 😂😂
I have '15 Lariat. I like the dash the way it is. I don't want to scroll thru menus to find the function I want. It distracts when you drive. It's easier and safer to have knobs and buttons you can memorize and do everything without looking down. To me changing something on the screen is the same as texting and driving. I can look straight ahead and change my AC temp because I know where the knob is. I hope Ford think hard before they put everything on a screen. Just because RAM does it doesn't mean it's right and safer. The aluminum alloy body is a big advantage. No rust and it's stronger and lighter. The front door low cut improves blind spot visibility. The tail gate step is a must. Very useful. Safer for kids. The 3.5L eco is a beast. Fast and powerful with better fuel economy than the big V8 engines. I love my Lariat the way it is. But everyone can buy what they want. It's a free country.
Thanks for sharing that great ownership experience. I appreciate the great input George.
@@RaitisRides yes. Please more Ford's vehicles. I love Ford vehicles. Specially the mustangs.
The color is very interesting I really like it 👍🏼
I am so glad that you do!
I like the color goes with a Carhart or Sports Coat!
it seems that all these "FullSize"are more alike than different.but still a beautiful truck!😍😎😎!
I have a 2019 F150 Limited in black and love it! I understand Ram's interior is nicer but the seats in mine are more comfortable and the H.O 3.5 Ecoboost with 450hp is so fast it's not even close to any other half ton
Thanks for sharing your great input from your ownership.
It's a beautiful truck, but I'd rather have the King Ranch, keep the extra money for mild lift and tires.
AGREED!
@Picachuu 3
Oh I agree, mudding even the King Ranch would be a shame.
Just a mild lift and tires for outdoor getaways and overlanding 😁
I have a platinum, I love it - but you are right. keep the extra money and get a king ranch.
Here here
I owned a 2015 Platinum F150 and I loved it. Test drive a 2020 Platinum F150.and test drive a 2020 Ram Limited. The Ram Limited is on a whole new level.its so much nicer on the interior. Chevy Silverado can't even compete on this level. But I'm hearing a new update is just around the corner
Eric Haley I have 2016 Platinum and loved it! The Ram interior is superior, but you can’t get the massaging seats like in the ford which was the deciding factor for me.
Shark Fin Antenna: I believe the shark fin antenna is a satellite antenna. The old school antenna is for broadcast radio. They are different frequency ranges. Lots more technical explanation is available if you are curious. Have a good one. By the way, I am trying to decide between Ram & Ford.
Have a 2018 Platinum 5.0 and everything looks exactly the same except no massaging seats anymore? Maybe I missed it in the review.
Joe, the lays chips before a date was funny 😂😂
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
Nice design!
Nice truck. With that said why does Ford insist on keeping their sign blue on all of their vehicles. It would look so much better if they matched the color of the truck. Outstanding video once again. Since you are a teacher by trade you should be hired by TH-cam to show the other TH-camrs how it’s done. 👍
curiosity which is better F150 Limited or f150 Platinum and also if they have the same engine why?? they don't do double exhaust like Limited
Quick question in the year 2009 did the Ford F150 new trim package Platinum replaces the Lincoln Mark LT In the USA
You asked why on the antenna. Most likely because AM and FM frequencies need a certain length of antenna in order to capture enough signal. A stubby antenna has windings in it to equal the length of that longer antenna, but still need to be a certain length in order to capture the signal and may not integrate well in the shark fin that houses both the GPS and SiriusXM antenna. They do make them though for GPS and AM/FM, Or SiriusXM and AM/FM but not for all three that I have seen. They could put two of them on, that would get rid of the tall one, but I like having it because it sticks up just past the roof so it it touches anything it is early warning that the roof might hit it too. You know, Curb Feeler for the roof. :)
Shark fin antenna is for Ford’s telematics system, Sirius XM and navigation.
This is true.
10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system is standard on the Platinum (700 & 701) trim levels. It is optional on Lariat trim, available in the 502A pkg. Ventilated, outboard rear seats is NOT an option on any pkg/trim on the F-150. Maybe in 2021 re-design Platinum? Who knows...
Joe im"Feeling"that F150😍😍❗
The F150 looks great inside and out. It just needs updates to software and look of interfaces add USB C and 120v outlets there and there different material for interior.
Great review Joe! That’s an awesome truck..... but $68k and thats not even the top of the line model! C’mon thats insane. Not in the market for one, but if i was I’d wait 3-4 years and pick up a good clean model for nearly 1/2 the price.
Thanks for saying that! I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this one!
Platinum won’t be half the price - they keep their value
Lol how'd waiting around work out? Did the price drop??
Platinums are 80k rn in 2023🤣
The 🦈 fin antana is for Sirius XM and or GPS, they could have put the wire in in the front windshield for the radio but they chose to go with old school rod antenna.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Ron.
@@RaitisRides probably for HD radio
The shark antenna is for cellular and satellite reception. The traditional whip is for AM and FM traditional radio.
Why can't they be blended into one?
People always hate on ford but idk why! This is beautiful
I am so glad that you like this one.
I think that brushed grill looks very nice.
I am so glad that you like that!
My fav trim level (I didn’t have the $ to go to that level). Still happy with my XLT.
Thanks for letting me share this one with you! I totally hear you on that one.
Picachuu 3 I’m a huge raptor fan, I didn’t list that just because I see that on its own category rather than a trim.
Always liked ford until my last truck so I traded it in for a Ram Limited and I must say the Ram is the best truck on the Market in my opinion by owning both...Thumbs up brother..
do you still feel that way after around 3 years of having the Ram? I'm currently looking at 3-5 year old used trucks and trying to decide between Ram and Ford. I've always loved Tundras and have had a few and never had any issues with them. Sold my last truck when I got a Tesla but now that I paid off the Tesla I want an truck again as a second vehicle for doing things around the house, going to beach etc. So for me a truck that has the most towing or payload isnt at top of my list. I'm looking more at comfort, reliability and fun to drive
@@mareenv get a 21 Ram 1500
Sweet ride Joe. Love the color. Ram does win the interior battle however. Take care.
This is true!
what is the payload on a platinum with the 3.5 echo and 3.55 rear axle ratio?
Nice!!
Joe, uh, please forgive me once again, but your description on the bottom says F-140 lmao😂😂😂😂
Special ed version
A beautiful truck.
this guy deserves so many views!!! thank you joe!
Thanks for saying that I really appreciate your support!
That truck is so gorgeous...no way in hell I'd consider any Ram over an F-150. But to be honest, if I've got the money for a Platinum F-150 I'm going all the way to the Limited for about $10k more so I can get the Raptor motor.
Since there are only so many pickups, you should try getting coverage on either volume models (XLT, bighorn, LT/custom, ect) for under 50k or work truck models (base trims) for under 40k. I get luxury trucks show you everything, but for example if you look at models, then the GM interior is actually top tier. Its also interesting to see what they can squeeze in for the price, you will actually see a variety of engines too.
James if you look through my reviews I have done pretty much every trim.
@@RaitisRides I see vids on the STX package trucks, but other than that its all higher end spec, whether it be luxury or high end offroader. Im talking trucks with vinyl interiors and manual windows when I say work truck
Morning Joe, Any updates the consumption issue this information should be available to the Ford dealership by now.Just do a search on TH-cam and you can see it is a real Issue......
The rod antenna has much better reception capabilities for FM radio.
Really?
If you’re gonna get the 3.5 Platinum then just pay a little more and get the Limited with the HO 3.5. I would only get the Platinum if I wanted a different engine like v8 or diesel.
The deal breaker for the Limited for me is the interior color
It gets a full redesign for the 2021 model year. Just wait for that one. Wireless charging will (finally) arrive with hopefully a nicer interior.
It will be interesting to see how this turns out Michael.
Ford says a lot of their customers like to listen to AM radio which is why they have the monster antenna screwed in instead of just the shark fin
Driven both at our shop. I prefer the Ram honestly. Especially the King Ranch Edition. Better riding truck as well. Ppl beat the hell outta the F150 rental trucks and the steering wheel was loose and falling apart etc.
Great truck
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Wish the interior was like the new Ram trucks
Watching this because a local dealer to me has a 2019 platinum with 74k highway miles for 35k and After this video I’m most likely buying it.
Tbh there is probably an underlying issue with it, or else it is just beat up a lot
There is a 2019 Platinum with 26k miles near me for $39k that's why I'm here looking lol. Wondering if it's worth it or if it's a misprint on price.
It’s nice but I don’t like brown interiors. I’d pick a Ram with no turbo and nicer interior. Good job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
L S The color of the Marsala interior does not come through accurately on video. I have it in my Platinum and love it. It’s more of a brick red.
Brown, marsala, still not liking it. All the other colors look right to me. Glad you like yours.
I swear he has a totally different snack name mentioned for almost every other vehicle 🤣
Can you do a king ranch and platinum comparison
I will get that together with you!
Like the truck overall except for the price! There are lower trim levels that are cheaper I'm sure. I'll keep our aging Dodge Ram 3500 and Toyota Tacoma, both are running and driving well, although the larger truck requires more maintenance. I may consider a gently used one down the road but 68k is outlandish for a pickup to travel in and haul stuff every day.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
I need a truck to pull a travel trailer that weighs roughly 10,000 pounds. I will be living in the trailer due to work moving every 2-3 months. Will this be enough or should I look at a f250
F250
is it cheaper than the raptor or the other way around?
awesome and fast trucks the fords but watch out for the death rattle hope they fixed that they didnt on my 2018 f 150 and it has 15000 on it mines red magma to
Thanks John for sharing that with me.
Ventilated seats is not an option in the f150 for the rear seats. Only ram as of right now
Great video as always Joe, I really enjoy watching these.
TBH... the Platinum isn't bad... but I think it would look a lot better if they color matched the side mirror color with the grille, blacked out the headlights, and got rid of the checkered styled grille... it looks like a Ben Hur chariot that's trying really hard for its pricepoint...
The shark antenna should be in the middle
Hell YEAH 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What do you mean the sound is pumped in, synthetic?
Yes. Ecoboost models pump fake engine noise in the cabin
Hello Joe can you advise on the oil consumption that the 5.0 motor is having on the 2018&2019 models ?
I will find out for you Al!
I have a 2018 5.0 crew cab 4x4. no oil consumption issues at all
I fell in love with my truck first time, great technology and amazing look but unfortunately so many problem here with my 2018 F150 V8 5.0 engine... oil consumption then coolant consumption/ engine knocking noise while accelerating / rattle noise when deceleration and the dealership replaced the engine and cylinder heads twice. for now i still have the coolant consumption issue and the knock noise and the dealership trying to say it's a normal characteristic noise. i gave up with this truck and fighting for a buyback with CAMVAP in Canada. i'm just hoping they will get me out of this truck. better to search for powertrain issues for these before buying.

GDI engine...
I got the King Ranch 2020 3.5.fully loaded. I traded my 2013 Platinum 5.0. The 3.5EB is very quick, good thing they have the ECO mode. Love it. Sweet interior. The Ram..Eh it is not a Ford. It is just lipstick on a pig. Stay with the Ford, ya cannot go wrong.
I want to know about new V8 ford Raptor when and where it’s going to come out.
There is no info about it.
The fact Ford left the under hood and fenders edges in primer and not finished painted in the body color coat ZONKED this truck from my interest. The RAM was so much more refined and better finished!
Hey Joe I remember u did a 2019👈 Ford F-150 Limited in White. Such a Gorgeous Truck . Built Ford Tough 💪🇱🇷. Yes Ford does Raise The Bar 💪💪.
You have a very good memory!
@@RaitisRides Bet Joe 🤗
@@JayPatel-tx1zc Yes sir!
@@RaitisRides LOL
No. IT IS THE BAR lol (from the tv ad)
This guy just sold me a RAM!
One day I'll have one in pearl white.
I own a 2014 Tacoma and I’ve honestly I’ve been looking for a 2nd truck. Wouldn’t mind one of these
Edit: F150s have those long whip antennas because most f150 owners listen to AM stations (Yes ford did a survey on that) and the Shark fin antenna doesn’t work as well at receiving signals as the whip antenna so Ford kept it.
👍🏽👌🏽
I paid 50k for a new 2020 xlt model is that a good price? Cad$$
"If I touch it it does stuff" a new credo.
LMAO! Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
Not just laughs, but real world "everyone's channel "
Always good reviews Joe, Keep it going man! Loyal Ford guy here
I think if I was gonna go ecoboost I’d pay the little extra and get the limited. I’d only get the platinum so I could choose a different engine.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Lay's costs too much! I would get the store brand tater chips! I guess in Florida you could go to Winn Dixie, and buy the store brand chips, and a liter of Check Cola! 😃😃😃

Yes ford is my choice of trucks. I have 2 of the ford pick up truck. I have 2004 lightning and 2019 Saleen trucks. They both reg cab. It’s all about speed for me. If u ever get a ford truck make sure to get 4x4 option. I made a mistake not getting the 4x4 option on my Saleen. They good for launch control.
Thank for good review.

Jin Cho I’m so glad that I could share it with you!
Love my ford trucks
I test drove the 2020 Silverado RST with a $52k MSRP sticker. No leather, no sunroof, passenger seat had no power, no running boards, no BSM. Heafty sticker price for so few options. Lariat trim on the Ford would have all that and costs less. Nice try Chevy, but no thanks.
Hey Joe truth is that since the new 2015 F150 ..all all chevy, Ram , even Nissan has been trying very hard to some how look alike the F150....definetly Ram has got close interior wise....anyhow is nice to have a much better looking trucks around...but FORD set the bar!!!👍👍
That is a very good point Luis!
So it has a... FORD facing camera? :DDD
I would guess the "shark fin" deals with digital connectivity and satalite radio, then the ariel handles the standard FM/AM radio?
Yes. I’m buying one this week and that’s it.
You are correct. Most foreign car manufacturers have integrated the radio (AM/FM) antenna on to the front windshield. There's a thin copper grid that goes along the edges of the front windshield. I guess Ford has it's reasons for not integrating the antenna, but I am curious as to why (outside of material cost). It would make the truck A LOT cleaner looking.
