I am the fortunate owner of a 2021 F150. Spent time test driving the few new trucks that I could locate on Chevy, GMC, and Ford dealer’s near empty lots, and found the Ford F-150 to be the truck I wanted to order. My order list was: Lariat with mid package to keep the chrome trim, column shifter and seating for six, 4X4, 3.5 eco boost with no start stop technology (deleting the nuisance auto start-stop was an option that I chose when ordering), Max Tow package with 36 gallon fuel, 3.55 locking differential, factory spray in bed liner, LED bed lighting, LED headlights fog lights & driving lights, power tailgate, 360 camera, BLISS with cross traffic alert. Waited 7 months for delivery. With a 10 year or 110,000 mile extended warranty offered through Ford as well as licensing and documentation we drove away from the dealership with an incredible vehicle at just a hair under $60,000. There were some things I was skeptical of while waiting for delivery i.e. the on screen technology sounded confusing and I wasn’t too sure about the owner’s manual being located on the touch screen. Ford did an amazing job of making the complex technology practical and useable. I had no trouble with any of it and appreciate having access to high tech stuff if I want, or just disable it if I don’t want to mess with it. Simple enough. The software is designed so that the on screen owner’s manual is programmed for the engine, transmission, drive train, and accessories for that particular VIN numbered vehicle. The fluid amounts & specification codes, as well as replacement maintenance parts are spelled out in detail for just your particular truck - no time is wasted thumbing through an encyclopedic owners manual listing every available option for that model year. I became a big fan of the on-screen owners manual the first time I used it. Sweet touches such as the adjustable interior ambient lighting and the lockable storage under the center column were things I was unaware of before taking ownership. My thoughts after 6,000 miles of driving the new Ford: It’s comfortable, quiet, easy to drive, has great visibility out the cab, powerful, the 4 wheel drive is rock solid, and the locking differential reminds me of my old Suzuki King Quad with manual locking differential. It really does add traction and reminds me that even though I feel like I’m driving a luxury vehicle, this rig at heart is a solid, capable truck. 400 horsepower fed through a seamless 10 speed transmission is faster than greased lightning if you want it to be. Gets 23 mpg if you feather the throttle. 21 mpg if I just drive without paying attention to fuel management. Best I’ve managed was 29.2 mpg for a 110 miles on a rural State highway traveling at the posted 55 mph speed limit. I’m 68 years old and have driven lots of vehicles - I owned three different pickups in high school including a 1953 Ford and a 1956 Ford that were considered classic hot rods even then - regret selling them of course. I have to tell you …. This 2021 F150 is without question the nicest vehicle I have ever driven. Bravo Ford!
or you could just pull third black plug under steering column in 30 seconds and replace while towing. Easiest stop start defeat ever invented been using for 4 years. Why all the hand wrenching?
My 2022 F150 XL 8’ longbed work truck was $51,000 out the door. It’s a SuperCab 4x4, 5.0L, max payload/tow, 101A pkg, vinyl floor, work station console, cloth seats, running boards, skid plates, rear defogger, and tinted glass. I then had enough money left over for Yakima racks, AMP Research bed extender and Baja Design pocket and reverse lights. Let alone everything is black except for the tow/payload pkg had upgraded aluminum painted wheels. For me it was just what I needed. Hope you found a good deal on your new truck, mine has been great!
Can't go wrong w/these trucks. Fabulous engine line up. Best Technology. Class leading performance / efficiency & of course max strength/dependability. 👍🏻 Can't wait till my new '23 F150 XLT Tremor w/ 5.0L Coyote V8 arrives. Black on black! -Ohio
Nice job Mitchell. I’m glad I bought my truck when I did. No issues with supply issues. If you want premium treatment. These are the folks to buy a Ttuck.
The fact that multi-contour seats are absent in King Ranch and above, making the Lariat 502A the best bang for your buck, if you don't need premium leather or Copilot Active.
Ford sold 484,000 vehicles in the second quarter…. 4,200 were EV and only 1,400 of those were the F-150 Lightning. Looks like most Americans still prefer the 3 minute refuel of ICE vehicles, I hope for many more years.
Listen , This guy is the Best ! If his dealership was close to me i'd buy every vehical from him . For me.. he is the Best when it comes to talking , marketing , presenting , etc about the products. Great job !
Not going to happen as prices will continue to go up, I was lucky to get a 2021 Lariat 502A 4x4 crew cab 36 month lease for $450 a month with $0 down in late 2021. Trucks will probably never be that affordable again.
Define "realistic". I specced a 2023 and compared to a 2022 it's about 10% more. Which is about right all things considered. When you make the highest selling vehicle in the land, you're going to make your margins really good. That's how the industry works.
Best presentation yet. Please consider doing a video on some sort of cross analysis between the F-150, Tundra, and Chevy Silverado 1500… and clarify value add and price points when considering mpg vs mpge, and total cost of ownership. Just a suggestion to get you more viewers.
As a long time viewer I wish I didn't have to comment on this video. I am a salesman at a Ford dealer and know for a fact that there is a multicontour seat delete option. In other words, Ford Motor Company refunds the customer $300 for not ordering this option that would prevent their truck from being built. This may be a standard option on trim levels such as the platinum, however it doesn't mean one cannot order this trim level. This is one of many examples of people spreading disinformation to customers. I wish I didn't have to post this, I am truly a fan of your guys channel.
If you are a salesman, pull the order guide for 2023 F-150. For the first time ever it clearly states “this package REQUIRES active contoured seat removal option”. I’ve never seen this before, but they are requiring it for 2023. And thank you so much for being a fan of the channel! We really appreciate you! 👊🏻
Just ordered a 2023 Platinum 150 yesterday with "multicontour seat removal -($300)" and we have done the same to many 2022 SuperDuty orders so that our customers can get their trucks scheduled. So yes, you can still order the Platinum trim level regardless of it being a standard option. It was not made clear in your video that a customer can remove the multicontour seats on an order*@@TCcustoms_
I’ve been waiting to order my 2023 platinum, But with the removal of the seats and the park assist it literally feels like ordering a lariat with deployable running boards. As a Ford enthusiast and share holder I’m beyond disappointed and actually might be looking at the GMC AT4X AVE as the result of this let down.
Especially when spending 80K+ on a truck there isn’t room for compromises. It’s hard to believe they’d even attempt to sell a truck of that price when they remove the features that make it a reason people are willing to spend that money on it. Especially when you admire the history, the company, and the brand that builds it.
Im sooooo glad I found a 22 platinum powerboost with massaging seats and park assist. I even added the led cupholders and media bin light they left out on 22 models.
I know this is an old comment, but I'm wondering what your payload rating is on your door sticker. Haven't seen much info elsewhere on the payload for platinum powerboost with massaging seats
@@jesse8458 payload sucks. I’m around 1,363 lbs. but I have pano roof and heavy tow option. The rear axle and bumper give it a smaller payload. The thing can out tow the payload.
@@samuelolivares6671 thanks for the info, that's around what I expected based on other research I've done. Even without the moonroof and with the basic trailer tow package (not max tow), there's no way I'd get to 1500 lbs. Maybe 1450 with a bit of luck. How do you like it?
@@jesse8458 absolutely loved it. Ford did an amazing job. I ordered a 22 f250 lariat back in February that just came in last week. I went ahead and purchased that one as well just because of the price they sold it to me for and the long wait. My dad now drives the f150 and I truly miss the comfort and quite cab. The powerboost is such an amazing truck and very underrated.
@@samuelolivares6671 thanks for the info, glad to hear it! Looks like I'll need to test drive a powerboost and the 3.5 ecoboost to see the difference...the extra payload I'd get with the ecoboost (being lighter) would be handy, but I've heard really positive things about that powerboost...
I’m about to order a regular cab 4x4 5.0 xl with 3.73 gears and total is coming out to just over 44k. Seems pretty high for a base truck with a v8 but I couldn’t be more excited it’s gonna rip.
I'm about ready to order my 2023 XLT regular cab short bed with almost every available factory option. However, I'm not planning on paying anywhere near MSRP. There are a lot of dealers advertising deep discounts on special orders. If you guys are dealing like that, I'd be willing to order with you and have it shipped to me in Ohio or fly down and pick it up.
I would support the previous commentor. I installed a skid plate on my 22 F150 reg cab to prevent cat theft and replaced the fuel tank straps and installed a fuel tank skid plate.
Probably the very best video I have seen on Ford Pickup truck products...the gentleman in the video is polite and { Thank God } does not yell at you. Don't change, this is perfect, now can I get a Diesel? Like a Raptor-equipped truck with a Diesel? That would be nirvana. Subscribed.
my 2023 f150 xlt with the 302a high package and black appearance package is a nicely appointed truck , dual exhaust , spray in bed liner , 2kw pro power , 360 camera , heated seats and leather interior , along with blis and power adjustable pedal and b& o stereo and tail gate step it is not that far below the lariat . btw , i love the start/stop delete .
Thank you for putting all this together. Thinking 24’s will be a more prudent purchase. (Hopefully more normalized supply chain, and workforce … and maybe, maybe the prices will have come back down to earth.)
As much as I wish that was true, there is no sign of that happening. The only thing that will bring that about is an impactful, significant recession, which would bring all sorts of other problems with it. The economy is strong with no sign of such. Vehicle prices rarely come down even when that happens, unlike the housing market
The information on Co-Pilot 360 Assist availability is out of date. Ford stopped offering it in the XLT back in May 2022 due to supply-chain issues. Aside from that, great video. Very informative.
I have a 2014 F-150 STX Sport 4X4 Supercab in Sterling Gray Metallic with the non-turbo 3.7L FFV engine that I love with 111k miles on it. It's a really great looking truck and I love the large metal-flakes in the paint! I have a color-matched Leer cap on it, which looks great. My 2014 F-150 has JUST enough technology to be useful. For those like me who buy a truck to keep for a long while, it seems to me that all of the complex technology on the new models will be a nightmare when 8 or 10 years down the road they start to fail. The gadgets are great (if potentially distracting) when everything is new, but can be a great expense to diagnose and repair when age takes a toll on all those electronics, IMHO.
Great video. I'd like to see y'all do a video on the underside of an F150. Maybe go over the skid plates. Do the FX4 skid plates protect from Catalytic Converter theft, or make it harder to steal? Something along those lines. Thanks!
Ordering certain products through the mail is one thing, but ordering a Vehicle through the mail is ridiculous, Put my car on the lot. I enjoy walking around it kicking the tires and going for a test drive.
I watch all your videos came and got my bronco from y’all a few weeks ago seen you and just spoke in passing really should have told you to your face how much I enjoy the videos and how awesome it was to get my bronco at msrp
Fantastic informative video. I'm really hoping you'll do similar videos for the 2023 Maverick and Explorer. I'm really curious if the 2023 Explorer will receive any of the technology upgrades or refreshes used on the version sold in China and if the Hybrid Maverick will offer an AWD option. I really appreciate all the time, research and effort you put into the 2023 F150. A hugh help for those ordering an F150.
Truck I ordered in October arrived at my local in June. I had pretty much forgotten about it 😂. 2022 F150 Race Red Supercrew XL (wanted 3 seat option for front) STX FX4 5.0 with tow package and all that. I would have chosen a higher trim level but 6 seats was on my list of requirements. I'm very happy with my Ford product. Thanks for your great videos Town & Country. "Likes" have been sent 😂. I wish I could have ordered it with adaptive cruise like the higher trims include, but it still has the 2.0. Push button and remote start would have been nice as well, but I can use the FordPass app when needed.
Hard to beat Ford trucks. They are the best for a reason! Run good *full synthetic* engine oil & change every 5k mis (max).. you will get 300k mis easy.
@@Davido50 I sold our 2015 Mustang GT Base with MT in 20 but never had any complaints with the engine. The manual shifting felt like it could have been better, but I've always liked the Coyote 5.0. Interior pieces didn't have a quality feel to me coming from my Audi's. I got an Explorer Sport and the 3.5 just doesn't have the same effect. It drives well but I prefer the 5.0. Synthetics all the way👍
Question: my lease will be up in May; do you expect the market to return to normal by then (go to the dealer, pick one off the lot, substantial incentives) or is this the new normal? Will I ever again be able to lease a well equipped XLT 4x4 with no money down and sales tax included for $450? Seems like dealers are much happier with short supply, low inventory, and desperate customers.
It's the new normal. They've said as much. The days of buying a new vehicle off the lot are pretty much done. I'm not sure the dealers are too happy about that.
@UCIPmw9sBuU16aDieWMxv9tw I have no problem with rising vehicle prices, just like I have no problem with my house rising in value. It's counter intuitive, but I like it.
After watching, I’m still trying to figure out how the 502a package is $3805 (GA), $4805 at T&C, and in some over $7,000 with not in on the sticker to indicate the differences.
Very nice presentation! only thing missing and i wish was included is the colours choices available, I just placed my order for the new Lariat yesterday!!
@Town and Country TV: Thanks for the comprehensive review of the 2023 F-150. There is a lot to choose from and decisions to make. I guess it comes down to needs and wants and proceeding from there. Thanks again.
I got some questions about my 22 F-150. Keep getting the run around at other dealers. Who can I call down there for some help!? Love the videos, keep em up!
picked up the blacked out platinum azure gray powerboost 2023 and it's just perfect. thanks for this video that helped me choose! ;) I won't miss the massage seats as I had them in another model and they weren't all that impressive.
Very informative on the 2023 F-150s, an excellent presentation. Our dealership only has 5 Raptor Rs left and I’m very excited to see them in person. If only I could test drive of them.
Great video Mitchell and I would totally drive to Alabama from South Florida to get a truck from you guys my only issue is that for the last 5 years and three new trucks, Ford leases have pretty much been non-existent.
So I have a 22 XLT FX4 package 302a. It is more or less what a lariat is minus the leather seats the ventilated seats a sunroof and the upgraded LED headlights and the LED tail lights. Other than that it has everything that the lariat has oh and the power steering wheel adjustment. But it's a completely fully loaded truck excluding those options. And so you're saying that the space White was canceled so does that mean my truck's going to be more valuable because it's a color that's not available anymore that'd be cool. I love my F-150 I just want to get my tow mirrors with the 360 camera but I got to find a dealership that's willing to do the calibration for it that won't take over a week to do it because they're super busy. Not to mention I've been waiting 2 months to get my wiper motor replaced because my automatic wipers don't work anymore and I only have the highest setting for my wipers. And I don't even have the ability to use my washer fluid either which sucks. But other than all of that I love my truck adaptive cruise control is cool sometimes except for when I'm in a hurry cuz it'll slow me down when I don't want to slow down other things like that but overall great truck
Ford shouldn't even mention Auto High Beams along with all those other newer safety features. Auto high beams have been around decades, whereas accident avoidance is new and a good improvement safety wise.
Best way to order a 2023? Skip it and wait for the 2024 (rumored update too!) that might have all the accessories functional. If you need a 2023, don’t get anything above XLT because the convenience options aren’t available on the higher trim levels and only compensated a few hundred bucks for them. My 2015 Platinum has more functioning features than a 2022 Limited, imagine that! In 2015, mine stickered at 60k for 2WD, V8, Panoramic,Tailgate Package,and other options. At 36k miles, I’ll see what 2024 offers.
just a stupid comment. Ford isn't going to cannibalize Raptor sales. To say otherwise is simply insane. Thousands of people like you on these threads with same ridiculous comments.
Thank you for a great review and BLESS YOU for the timestamp breakdown! My question: Does the Lariat have a Chrome Appearance Package? I noticed it on previous years of the Lariat, but it wasn’t listened in the video. Thank you!
Here's what I need carbonized grey supercrew, 3.5 eco, max trailer, 5.5box, 36gal, Max trailer pack, leather int, 17 or 18 in wheels, 4x4. How much and when can I pick up?
I'll keep my7 '97 Expedition . . . Thank you very much! I've been driving professionally since the '70s and have NEVER used or needed a bl***y GPS screen to get anywhere. Nor, have I ever needed a camera to back up to a trailer! Touch screens p*** me off! I want buttons and switches, plain, simple. They do the job. Not taking my eyes off the road to a distracting screen!
I ordered a '22 Platinum. Since then I've seen other trucks that have made me wish I could change my order, but I can't. Anyhow, if I could do it over I would order an optioned out Lariat (essentially a Platinum) with the chrome package. I would much rather have chrome bumpers rather than the painted bumpers.
@@clearcut6818 multi contoured is really just a fancy way of saying massage seats. I had Lincoln's 30 way adjustable massaging seats. While I didn't directly compare the two, I'm sure the Lincoln's are better. I didn't think much of the Lincoln's fancy schmancy seats. Not having the Multicontour Seats is disappointing, but not a big deal for me.
@@OldAndGettingOlder I'm speaking from a options standpoint, the Lariat High package is practically a Platinum less the premium leather and massage seats.
@@clearcut6818 I see. Yes, very similar they can be. This is why I said if I could do it all over if go the Lariat route. I would like a chrome option.
Thanks for the informative video...one thing that I am finding very frustrating while trying to build an F 150 is how to add the heavy payload package to an XLT with the 3.5 L hybrid engine. Can you demonstrate this on a video please or just reply with a "how to".? Thanks
I have a xl that has a special ordered code ? 30A ??? I want a v8 supercharger and a nice driver's seat. Race truck. My 2019 f150 is in Huntsville Alabama now.

This is an excellent, excellent video. Great breakdown, and VERY MUCH needed given the number of options on these trucks. Thank you!
I'm about ready to order my 2023 XLT regular cab short bed with almost every available factory option. However, I'm not planning on paying anywhere near MSRP. There are a lot of dealers advertising deep discounts on special orders. If you guys are dealing like that, I'd be willing to order with you and have it shipped to me in Ohio or fly down and pick it up.
I would support the previous commentor. I installed a skid plate on my 22 F150 reg cab to prevent cat theft and replaced the fuel tank straps and installed a fuel tank skid plate.
I wish they would bring back the 3.0L. I love mine and the 29mpg and tows great
They have new 3.3L direct inj engine. You get MORE power & same MPGs. Due to the direct injection mainly. Excellent motor.
@@Davido50 more hp or torque?
Probably the very best video I have seen on Ford Pickup truck products...the gentleman in the video is polite and { Thank God } does not yell at you. Don't change, this is perfect, now can I get a Diesel? Like a Raptor-equipped truck with a Diesel? That would be nirvana. Subscribed.
I ordered mine last week
Black
Super crew 5.5 bed XLT 4x4
3.5 Hybrid engine
High package
Blackout Package
7.2 KW Upgraded Generator
When you order it do you pay msrp for it?
@@dontrom1588 no I get A plan
@@EpicConspiracy what’s A plan? First time building and going with Ford
my 2023 f150 xlt with the 302a high package and black appearance package is a nicely appointed truck , dual exhaust , spray in bed liner , 2kw pro power , 360 camera , heated seats and leather interior , along with blis and power adjustable pedal and b& o stereo and tail gate step it is not that far below the lariat . btw , i love the start/stop delete .
5.0 tremor with a roush or whipple will be the hot ticket! Fast and decently off roady that can still work a bit.
Yup. Get a new F150 w/awesome Gen3 5.0L Coyote V8 before they cancel that motor.
Thank you for putting all this together. Thinking 24’s will be a more prudent purchase. (Hopefully more normalized supply chain, and workforce … and maybe, maybe the prices will have come back down to earth.)
As much as I wish that was true, there is no sign of that happening. The only thing that will bring that about is an impactful, significant recession, which would bring all sorts of other problems with it. The economy is strong with no sign of such. Vehicle prices rarely come down even when that happens, unlike the housing market
The information on Co-Pilot 360 Assist availability is out of date. Ford stopped offering it in the XLT back in May 2022 due to supply-chain issues. Aside from that, great video. Very informative.
Going to send my order to you tomorrow. Thx
I have a 2014 F-150 STX Sport 4X4 Supercab in Sterling Gray Metallic with the non-turbo 3.7L FFV engine that I love with 111k miles on it. It's a really great looking truck and I love the large metal-flakes in the paint! I have a color-matched Leer cap on it, which looks great.
My 2014 F-150 has JUST enough technology to be useful. For those like me who buy a truck to keep for a long while, it seems to me that all of the complex technology on the new models will be a nightmare when 8 or 10 years down the road they start to fail. The gadgets are great (if potentially distracting) when everything is new, but can be a great expense to diagnose and repair when age takes a toll on all those electronics, IMHO.
Great video. I'd like to see y'all do a video on the underside of an F150. Maybe go over the skid plates. Do the FX4 skid plates protect from Catalytic Converter theft, or make it harder to steal? Something along those lines. Thanks!
Can't beat the F150!
Why do you want to see rust?
Thanks for this! It really does a great job of showing the difference between the versions and makes this decision easier for me!
1) whats the estimated time frame for an order to arrive? 2) How would ordering from out of state work?
I ordered from amazon last Friday and arrived sunday, I installed it today, Amazon has it for 480
Ordering certain products through the mail is one thing, but ordering a Vehicle through the mail is ridiculous, Put my car on the lot. I enjoy walking around it kicking the tires and going for a test drive.
Most informative guy on ford products 👍🏻
I appreciate that!
I watch all your videos came and got my bronco from y’all a few weeks ago seen you and just spoke in passing really should have told you to your face how much I enjoy the videos and how awesome it was to get my bronco at msrp
Fantastic informative video. I'm really hoping you'll do similar videos for the 2023 Maverick and Explorer. I'm really curious if the 2023 Explorer will receive any of the technology upgrades or refreshes used on the version sold in China and if the Hybrid Maverick will offer an AWD option. I really appreciate all the time, research and effort you put into the 2023 F150. A hugh help for those ordering an F150.
How’s the dealer mark up on your lot? I live in Kansas and these people here are crazy with it. Wouldn’t mind driving the ole Honda out to you.
Truck I ordered in October arrived at my local in June. I had pretty much forgotten about it 😂. 2022 F150 Race Red Supercrew XL (wanted 3 seat option for front) STX FX4 5.0 with tow package and all that. I would have chosen a higher trim level but 6 seats was on my list of requirements. I'm very happy with my Ford product. Thanks for your great videos Town & Country. "Likes" have been sent 😂. I wish I could have ordered it with adaptive cruise like the higher trims include, but it still has the 2.0. Push button and remote start would have been nice as well, but I can use the FordPass app when needed.
Hard to beat Ford trucks. They are the best for a reason! Run good *full synthetic* engine oil & change every 5k mis (max).. you will get 300k mis easy.
@@Davido50 I sold our 2015 Mustang GT Base with MT in 20 but never had any complaints with the engine. The manual shifting felt like it could have been better, but I've always liked the Coyote 5.0. Interior pieces didn't have a quality feel to me coming from my Audi's. I got an Explorer Sport and the 3.5 just doesn't have the same effect. It drives well but I prefer the 5.0. Synthetics all the way👍
I would love to see the off road testing for the Raptor at the Ford testing facility
I just ordered an xlt heritage on Friday. I wish I had seen this video beforehand, I would have maybe changed a few thing. Good informative video
I dont understand how this works. Why are f150 2023 orders open but theres no official build option on the ford website???
Question: my lease will be up in May; do you expect the market to return to normal by then (go to the dealer, pick one off the lot, substantial incentives) or is this the new normal? Will I ever again be able to lease a well equipped XLT 4x4 with no money down and sales tax included for $450? Seems like dealers are much happier with short supply, low inventory, and desperate customers.
Expect paying six figures for nicely equipped trucks in the future.
It's the new normal. They've said as much. The days of buying a new vehicle off the lot are pretty much done. I'm not sure the dealers are too happy about that.
@UCIPmw9sBuU16aDieWMxv9tw I have no problem with rising vehicle prices, just like I have no problem with my house rising in value. It's counter intuitive, but I like it.
Got a new 2022 XLT in Iconic Silver today!!
After watching, I’m still trying to figure out how the 502a package is $3805 (GA), $4805 at T&C, and in some over $7,000 with not in on the sticker to indicate the differences.
Very nice presentation! only thing missing and i wish was included is the colours choices available, I just placed my order for the new Lariat yesterday!!
No more supercab available for the Lariat trim. Glad I got the '22 before this option was lost.
@Town and Country TV: Thanks for the comprehensive review of the 2023 F-150. There is a lot to choose from and decisions to make. I guess it comes down to needs and wants and proceeding from there. Thanks again.
Can't wait to get my new '23 F150 Tremor! -Ohio
I’m waiting on the 2023 super duty. Patiently waiting for it to be released.
I got some questions about my 22 F-150. Keep getting the run around at other dealers. Who can I call down there for some help!? Love the videos, keep em up!
Typical ford dealers can you imagine the nightmare to get an honest raptor r 🤣
What’s the problem bud?
picked up the blacked out platinum azure gray powerboost 2023 and it's just perfect. thanks for this video that helped me choose! ;) I won't miss the massage seats as I had them in another model and they weren't all that impressive.
Bro, big ol' ford should be paying you big bucks for these videos. Great job!
I not a ford fan but I do like the Bullet Mustang and the color Ford blue. You do a very good job at what you do keep it up. Good luck this year
Where can you find pricing on all this
Very informative on the 2023 F-150s, an excellent presentation. Our dealership only has 5 Raptor Rs left and I’m very excited to see them in person. If only I could test drive of them.
Great video Mitchell and I would totally drive to Alabama from South Florida to get a truck from you guys my only issue is that for the last 5 years and three new trucks, Ford leases have pretty much been non-existent.
My 2021 has all the xl features you just mention in the first 10 mins. I have the xl Stx package.
What’s your take on the heritage trim? If I’m shopping for an XLT should I look into the heritage?
So I have a 22 XLT FX4 package 302a. It is more or less what a lariat is minus the leather seats the ventilated seats a sunroof and the upgraded LED headlights and the LED tail lights. Other than that it has everything that the lariat has oh and the power steering wheel adjustment. But it's a completely fully loaded truck excluding those options. And so you're saying that the space White was canceled so does that mean my truck's going to be more valuable because it's a color that's not available anymore that'd be cool. I love my F-150 I just want to get my tow mirrors with the 360 camera but I got to find a dealership that's willing to do the calibration for it that won't take over a week to do it because they're super busy. Not to mention I've been waiting 2 months to get my wiper motor replaced because my automatic wipers don't work anymore and I only have the highest setting for my wipers. And I don't even have the ability to use my washer fluid either which sucks. But other than all of that I love my truck adaptive cruise control is cool sometimes except for when I'm in a hurry cuz it'll slow me down when I don't want to slow down other things like that but overall great truck
I am so thankful they are bringing back the Black!!!
I want a tremor with a 5.0. I don’t care if it’s slower than an eco.
I'm the same way man just like how I would rather have a gas / diesel engine vehicle over electric even if it is a little slower
@@MagicCarpetRide8669 y'all enjoy your fancy trucks, I'm sticking my trusty horse and carriage.
How much slower? What choice is better for long term ownership
Yep, so glad I didn’t order a ‘22 Tremor…hopefully it’s not too long of a wait after placing the order for the ‘23 Tremor…🤣
Tremors look really beefy in person. I would probably go with 35" KO2s and a nice exhaust.
Thank you for all your help, your the best I've been following for years now. Keep up the great work brother!
Ford shouldn't even mention Auto High Beams along with all those other newer safety features. Auto high beams have been around decades, whereas accident avoidance is new and a good improvement safety wise.
GREAT VIDEO, sure hope You do this for the 2023 Super Duty when the information becomes available.
I am still waiting on my 2022 that I ordered last spring.
Best way to order a 2023? Skip it and wait for the 2024 (rumored update too!) that might have all the accessories functional. If you need a 2023, don’t get anything above XLT because the convenience options aren’t available on the higher trim levels and only compensated a few hundred bucks for them. My 2015 Platinum has more functioning features than a 2022 Limited, imagine that! In 2015, mine stickered at 60k for 2WD, V8, Panoramic,Tailgate Package,and other options. At 36k miles, I’ll see what 2024 offers.
I apologize if this has already been asked, but can you turn off the ford co-pilot 360 assist 2.0 feature? Thank you.
We need an F150 Tremor Sasquatch edition with factory 35's, factory winch, and a front locker.
just a stupid comment. Ford isn't going to cannibalize Raptor sales. To say otherwise is simply insane. Thousands of people like you on these threads with same ridiculous comments.
How long before we start to see the 2023 F150s on the Dealership lots and determine if 2022 model lift kits will fit on the 2023?????
My F150 order just got pushed back a week
Thank you for the well-organized and clear presentation. Very helpful!
Thank you for a great review and BLESS YOU for the timestamp breakdown! My question: Does the Lariat have a Chrome Appearance Package? I noticed it on previous years of the Lariat, but it wasn’t listened in the video.
Thank you!
I believe so! Ask the dealer .
Yes it does. We were with a dealer yesterday putting together a spec for our next F-150 Lariat, and it's on there.
Ford really needs to offer the reg. cab in the lariat trim package. love the reg. cab sport truck but what they currently offer is basic
16:11 there is a Ford tech who say automatic 4x4 can’t be used on dry roads. Is he right?
Just got done ordering my father's F-150
Here's what I need carbonized grey supercrew, 3.5 eco, max trailer, 5.5box, 36gal, Max trailer pack, leather int, 17 or 18 in wheels, 4x4. How much and when can I pick up?
2022 lariat gets power running boards free with the black appearance package. When will the 2023s show up on fords website for building?
I orderd the 2023 performance package raptor in October. Probably gonna expect it around May ish
Your starter will go with the auto start feature. I hate it in my f150 and you have to turn it off manually every time you start your truck.
I'll keep my7 '97 Expedition . . . Thank you very much! I've been driving professionally since the '70s and have NEVER used or needed a bl***y GPS screen to get anywhere. Nor, have I ever needed a camera to back up to a trailer! Touch screens p*** me off! I want buttons and switches, plain, simple. They do the job. Not taking my eyes off the road to a distracting screen!
Cool story bro.
why are you here then? go away
Sure, "Carrie". You do you.
I ordered a '22 Platinum. Since then I've seen other trucks that have made me wish I could change my order, but I can't. Anyhow, if I could do it over I would order an optioned out Lariat (essentially a Platinum) with the chrome package. I would much rather have chrome bumpers rather than the painted bumpers.
When ordering does Ford give you the price of your truck, and your Vin #? I am afraid the dealer will markup the truck.
Personally, a platinum without multi contour seats is a waste of money.
@@clearcut6818 multi contoured is really just a fancy way of saying massage seats. I had Lincoln's 30 way adjustable massaging seats. While I didn't directly compare the two, I'm sure the Lincoln's are better. I didn't think much of the Lincoln's fancy schmancy seats. Not having the Multicontour Seats is disappointing, but not a big deal for me.
@@OldAndGettingOlder I'm speaking from a options standpoint, the Lariat High package is practically a Platinum less the premium leather and massage seats.
@@clearcut6818 I see. Yes, very similar they can be. This is why I said if I could do it all over if go the Lariat route. I would like a chrome option.
Great info. Thank you.
Great video, I greatly enjoyed it.
And BTW, when will Ford apply it's new 5 link rear coil suspension to all the F150s?
Get ready for Mitchell Watts "Unleashed"!! And 18 and 3/4 hands tall😊😊
Can you get vinyl flooring in the XLT
What about lightning? I want to order that.
Where can I see the sheets of options you flashed on the screen?
Thank you guys
Rams are selling well in my area. All the Ford dealers are marking up 5-10k over msrp.
plenty of dealers that have msrp. just be a good customer
Space white was a color worth keeping!
👍 any word for the order banks for the F-150 Lightning.
Thanks for the informative video...one thing that I am finding very frustrating while trying to build an F 150 is how to add the heavy payload package to an XLT with the 3.5 L hybrid engine. Can you demonstrate this on a video please or just reply with a "how to".? Thanks
If I read the 2023 order guide book right it seems if you get a 2023 XLT crewcab 4x4 2.7 BAP it comes with dual exhaust.
I recently ordered a 2023 platinum with the 5.0 and black appearance package. Will my truck come with the dual exit exhaust?
How about dealer gauging and the subsequent disinterest in F150?
Hey Ford,how about shipping my 2023 out in a timely manner .Supposedly my lariat was built Dec 8th. Still waiting for transit to dealership
My 2015 has locking tailgate
I have a xl that has a special ordered code ? 30A ???
I want a v8 supercharger and a nice driver's seat.
Race truck. My 2019 f150 is in Huntsville Alabama now.
Space white is my favorite currently rocking it
Can you get the Rattler package on the Lariat trim level? Or just the XL trim level?
Nice video!
Thanks for a great video! It surely helps to navigate the packages that Ford offers ! Big help!
Great informative video! 👍👍
Why did Ford lose the ambient in cab lightning after 2021 and will it come back? Like cup holder light, door pocket lightning , glove box … etc
