I’m a Silverado owner. Those Fords ride much smoother. I would have bought one with the V8, 157” wheelbase but the dealer kept raising the price. I walked out.
I have ‘12 xlt 5.0. I use it for towing. This has to be one of the most underrated engines out there. So much power. Smooth as luxury car engine when cruising with a great roar when you step on it. Had to do it again this is the engine and the truck. Do wish the prices were better on the new trucks.

They said that about the Fiesta and Focus dual clutch transmissions as well. Now after a class action criminal lawsuit, they settled by basically saying the knowingly put under built, flawed transmissions in their cars.
I've had my 2019 5.0 V8 XLT for almost a year now. Love this truck. On long freeway drives it gets 21-22 mpg in eco mode, which is way better than I expected.

It is so refreshing to see someone speak highly of their experience in the 5.0 V8 powered F-150. It seems like every video I watch either people just dog on that motor or oversell the turbos. This is coming from a GM Truck owner.
Thomas Gillespie take a look at Morimoto XB LED headlight replacements for your truck. They are expensive but they look amazing and the beam pattern is far superior to even OEM LEDs.
I like this series (1st episode anyway). An interview with a real owner is always good, and they are generally telling it like it is. I imagine further episodes will eventually include all major brands with various options. Great series so far!
I'm 61. I've driven Ford pickups since I was 20. I bought my third one in 2017, a 2.7 liter EcoBoost 4WD Supercab, same color as this one, most of the same features except I don't have navigation. I too got a lot of money knocked off the sticker price by FOrd financing incentives. I kind of wish I would have gotten the 5.0 instead, since I worry about these turbos going for shades of 20 years like my last two trucks did. Other than that. I love this truck. It feels very light and nimble with the aluminum body and smaller CGI engine block. Great video, good hunting!
Very nice. I'm picking up my 2019 XL in the morning 🙂 3.5 twin turbo, 4X4, extra cab, electric locker, and 36 gallon fuel tank. That's it..I dont need butt warming seats.👍

@@jimbeam7248 but you're talking about a Ram. They have 35% MSRP right now at my local dealer...they also don't hold value very well. I loved buying used as well but owning a new vehicle is awfully nice and worth the price for me
Nice truck and great choice of engine. I tested all three engines and the 5.0 just had the smoothest power curve and seemed to have an easier time picking a gear.
I just replaced my 2007 F 150 King Ranch because I was hit from behind at 60 MPH. It was the safest most reliable vehicle I have ever owned in my 55 years. In 12 years I had to replace the tires, brakes, and oil, but nothing else and never a mechanical breakdown. With 3 daughters in college another King Ranch was just priced too high for my budget, so I settled on a slightly used F 150 XLT with the 5.0 Coyote engine. I have to admit that the speed and response time of this 5 Liter is impressive by any standard, and while the 3.5 dual turbo eco-boost may have better performance, it's tough to beat the reliability and longevity of the 5.0. Great video … Thanks for sharing.
Have a similar XLT, FX4, max tow package has 36 gallon tank, fantastic. Sport package has console shifter. No sun roof.... MPG combined 19.5. Thats with winter gas. Deals were way better on the XLT's than higher trim and they gave me high B/B on trade in. The 10 speed usually is great. But, it can get confused if you are sloppy, step on it, let off, then step on it again. Can be a little clunky, if you try. Really the drive train is very good. The power on the 3.5 is fantastic. Strong down low and just keeps pulling with the 10 speed. No problem, at all, getting up to speed on, on ramps. Some thing that Ford does, is make all the engine options available in all trim levels. Similar GM, top engine would be 5.3. As far a s reliability, "All" those semi trucks have turbos. Change your oil when your suppose to and you will be fine. Pretty impressive how much trucks have improved from my 2007 Tundra.
I own a 2014 XLT 5.0L 6speed auto and it’s a great truck. When I upgraded to larger tires it wasn’t shifting properly and speedo was off. I installed SCT X4 tuner and now speedo reads correct and it shifts flawlessly. Great tuner for towing and performance. The tuner eliminated that typical Auto trans hesitation when you punch the throttle. Gas pedal Has instant response now and excellent engine braking in tow mode.
I like ye truck. I got a new 2015 F150 Platinum 4FX Off-road 3.5 Ecoboost. What’s not to love? Of course being the Platinum, all I have to do is call it, it hooks to my boat, trailer, then comes around to get me. I’ve always had a weakness for quality stuff. Didn’t get for mpg, but still don’t want a gas hog. Get this: lifetime mpg for towing, city, Hwy is 19.7! I take it.
I bought my Ford F-150 XLT in 2003 now has 207k miles. Both of my sons drove it in HS. Love it hate to get rid of it. This fellow hopes to keep this truck 7yrs ha! Nice truck enjoy it.
Back in 2013 I bought a 5.0L STX. I just wanted a v8 1/2 ton and this fit the bill. I didn’t want anything to do with the Eco Boost and the turbos, etc. or all the el tro-fail add ins they charge a fortune for. In nine years and 70k it’s maybe the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. One service action on the trans is the only warranty issue. No oil consumption, no leaks, no problems. Love this truck. BTW, I’m a Ford retiree so I get employee pricing. No dealer jive for me on pricing. I feel bad for our owners sometimes.
I own a 2015 F-150 XLT with the Coyote V-8 , but mine only cost $34,000 when I purchased from Sarasota Ford in August 2015. Does NOT have heated seats! It is very similar to the truck in this video except mine is the SuperCab version. I bought the truck to pull our 32 foot travel trailer (8,750 GVW) and it has been a champ. No problem pulling up these western grades. The FX-4 package came in handy when I unknowingly chose the more technical route to Teller City, Colorado. After the original Goodyear Wranglers wore out, I chose the Yokohama Geolander AT tires which also have an aggressive pattern and the mountain/snow rating. I have 62,000 miles and have only had one issue, a coolant temperature sensor failed and shutdown the truck. I only burn ethanol-free gas and I am getting about 18.9 average mpg. I'm very happy with my truck.
Before buying the 5.0, be sure to look into the cylinder bore distortion as well as the 2018-2019 timing chain guide chirp and engine oil consumption issues. My 2012 CPO 5.0 has had the engine replaced, the new engine showed up with a bad head, and now the drive side valve cover is pissing oil. Luckily it is still under warranty, but once warranty expires in a few months, I will probably be dumping it. Ford just doesn't carry the same quality they used to.
I've got a 2017 f150 5.0 super cab and I love it. I did a test on the highway here with cruise on and perfect conditions I can get 28 mpg. City is half that but way better than I was expecting If I was buying again the only thing I would add is the higher payload package. Current payload is 2025 lb
@@MCLOVINBOSS429 ya I wish I had that. I can manage with what I've got but would love that bit more. In building an extra light truck camper which should be around 1200 lbs but with gear and people I'll probably be maxed payload
@@RobertJLessard really 500 pounds isn't much throw 2 big guys In the cab and there you've maxed out my HD payload package f150 rating wise they can take much more than that lol trust me I know
@A T according to truck computer ya. I get 10 L/100km on highway (about 1100km on a tank before fill) and that works out to about the 28 mpg. I'm sure if I figured out mileages but actual distance and fillups the computer is being generous on the calculation. I'm also not normally driving only highway so typically it more like 18 to 20 the 28 was best case scenario only highway no cargo and just me in the truck
@Winterocalypse Ecoboost could have problems down the road. I would never buy anything except a V8 in trucks. It is simple, no BS. Who cares about the MPG, if your buying a truck, mpg is not your first concern. And dont even get me started on all the environmental shit. Its nothing but liberal propoganda. Cheers
Nice truck Tom. I drove a plain jane 2011 work truck with 5.0 for 211k miles. Used synthetic oil and still got about 21 mpg highway with no power loss when they gave me the new one in 2016. Best engine out there.
I've got the 2018 with the 5.0L and love it...came from a '16 F250 6.7 Dsl. It was too much truck for what I was doing, driving kids to school etc...ended up trading for my '18...it doesn't have the torque that the Super Duty had obviously but with an S&B CAIntake, it'll jump past someone to pass them on the highway...the whining sound at low speeds doesn't bug me, but yes, the rough shift is a thing at 3rd to 5th. If I was buying it again, I'd go with the Coyote again...drove the 2.7 and 3.5 and couldn't get over the sound of a whirring V6...I had a V6 F150 back in 94...V8 has a nice growl to it...congrats on a sweet truck...I paid 46K for mine as well, windowed at 52,600$...
2018 and above are having oil consumption issues. You might want to check your oil levels frequently. Ford is telling me it is normal to burn 1 litre per 5000kms, that bull.....
I like chrome ! This truck is almost identical to the truck I was building on Ford’s website. I optioned it with a 3.73 locking rear diff and tow mirrors.
Tommy Truth I don’t think it would ruin it. Just make it more of a monster than what it already is. But id only offer it in the raptor. The power it already comes with added turbo it’d be really strong.
I was getting 20.5 mpg on a 2018 5.3 Surburban, doing a Toronto Florida trip, mostly cruising above 70 mph. I drove home through this storm in Pennsylvania that he is talking about. Gotta love the lake effect snow storms, it was a white out.
I'm about to turn 226,000 miles on my '04 FX4; would love a new one but they're too expensive now. When the time comes, I'll drop a rebuilt 5.4 in there and soldier on.
216 on my 08 Lariat. Bought it 5 years ago with 110k on it. Haven’t had a single problem. I think I just wanna buy used when I finally get another truck. You can buy great trucks that have been well taken care of. No reason to buy new, except maybe to stroke your ego.
Excellent video guys, and also great to have a honest opinion of someone that has owned Ford trucks in their lives. Also love this segment, makes you think about your future purchases.
$46k is bit steep. I got mine, now outgoing 2018 Silverado for under $35000, bought in October. Z71 with heated leather seats, bedliner, stock Duratracs...
Had 2 rams back to back then my 5.0 f150. Night and day towing difference with my camper. The payload is Amazing. The whining he mentioned on video is air intake whistle. Bitched about it on mine. They said normal. Only hear it barely touching gas. Love my f150
Nice truck. I have a 1997 F-150 that I gave to my son back in 2012 that is still running good. Very reliable with just under 300,000 miles. No major issues with this truck. It’s got some minor cosmetic issues, some of the electronics wearing out, etc. overall I think Fords are very dependable.
I have this same truck in lightning blue. I love it and the coyote 5.0 is a beast. I’m glad I chose the 5.0 I drove it from the dealer i got it from in North Carolina to my home in Connecticut it drove amazing and it’s very comfortable on long drives!
@@dcarts5616 no big issues, just it had a oil leak at the oil pan and it was replaced by warranty and no issues since then. Compared with the 5.0 I would go again the 2.7eb. My truck is my weeked toy. I don't tow or use it in the way that i would need something bigger. Just family trips to Colorado and Tx. But compared with the 5.0 my 2017 give me around 22mpg the 5.0 gives me around 21mpg at 70mph. How I know this, I rent for work the a 5.0 F150. The EB had a little lag about 2sec. when you need power and the 5.0 is instant but is not a big issue for me.
@@dcarts5616 I have 2020 with 2.7EB....fantastic motor. it does have turbo lag, but once those turbos spool, it has GREAT power. Acceleration is actually faster than the 5.0, as shown on this channel (not sure about the rear end ratio though on that video, will look it up). Consistent 20.5 MPG so far, but the more you get on those turbos, the lower you'll get.
When someone says the power difference between the 3.5 EcoBoost and 5.0 isn't that great what they really are saying is that the EcoBoost is out of their price range
Got my 2018 Lariat crewcab FX4 with the 5.0 two months ago out the door for 49k at 0% from Ford I am so far really happy with it just waiting on my Morimoto headlights
Vault 614 You buying the whole headlight assembly or just the bulbs? I’m taking delivery of my Supernova V.4 LED headlight bulbs from Headlight Revolution today for my 2012 XLT. Supposed to be at least 400% brighter than stock with the same beam pattern.
I get the whine when I put into reverse .. have 18 2.7tt. Best half ton truck towing I have ever had . Pulls my 28ft 4 place inline sled trailer fully loaded 5000lb 13.7mpg at 75-80mph . Cannot believe it !!!
@@electrohacker for sure and those tires are perfect. Love that front end. Blackout those wheels, get a winch and a topper and that truck is set! What a price too!
Thanks for posting the review with Tom, Roman. I just purchased a 2019 F150 FX-4 Coyote partly because of this review. Great truck! And, ... yes, ... I was also wooed by the Power Wagon, ... until I checked my bank balance.
Yea but you could tell he was trying to dial it back some this time. Not his usual all out Ford haterism that has been in some of the recent videos. But he did work in a couple jabs.
Yeah, enough with the Ram! He got a great deal on a great truck. Dude was talking about his truck and Roman kept bringing up the Ram. Kind of rude, in my opinion. Here is an idea, do a video on a ram truck if u like them so much Roman.
I have to say as Ram owner, the simplistic and symmetric front grill design with classic truck lines looks are just attractive. I didn't like 2017 models grills looked like cut on bottom, but this is nice. For same reason the Rebel grill didn't grow on me yet
I ve had a 2017 Ram and now a 2018 Ford. Ecoboost is awesome but both of them gave me this feeling like I was waiting for something to break. Both had ticks and grinds and unhealthy noises and both made me miss my 2009 Tundra Limitted
I tried to buy a Tundra. After being in the F150, then Tundra, whew, what a difference! Tundra felt like a tin can. Plus I could hardly get inside the thing the way the door is.
What the tundra and my wife’s sienna give me is a feeling of reliability that the others just don’t have. They are old outdated and simple in comparison. But there’s genius in their ways. They only developed one transmission two motor sand one rear end . Ford has too many to spend time getting one right. I own a 2018 F150 lariat now 6000 miles making all sorts of noises sounds like the timing chain is rattling around in there been in the shop for weeks. The 10 speed is clunky at best. Hard down shifts to 5 th and 3rd. And I know that thing is gonna be a problem. You can’t fit ten gears in a truck which used to have 6 and keep the same durability there’s a reason none of the Hd trucks have more than 6 and even at 6 the ram 68rfe is a pos. Can only imagine their innovation of puking their half ton transmission into their 3/4 ton gasser is going to break even more hearts. Toyota s were simple. That was it’s beauty I had 170k miles on mine when I traded it for a 2017 Cummins got 17 for a trade. Cummins is awesome the rest of the ram truck sucked balls wobbled from the day I bought it lived in the shop nothing but headaches. Traded my 65000 dollar ram in a tear later got a whopping 45k for trade in and felt bad even taking that the tranny was smoked and it wobbled and grinded. Was between a tundra trd pro and a for ecoboost. I likes the ecoboost for towing and the nice sunroof. Wife said to get the Toyota. I didn’t listen. I wanted a fast truck. Truck has lived in the shop ever since.
@@ziggy149 No I'm talking about chevy 5.3. But was in similar situation to o.p., had a 04 Silverado with 170k on it and didn't even want to get rid of it it was so damn good to me. But had to buy new truck for business and was tempted by twin turbo EcoBoost power, then I thought who cares how fast a truck is, I'm staying with what I trust.
I traded out of my 2018 Tacoma TRD OffRoad for a 2016 F150 XLT 5.0L. What is crazy is that my 2016 F150 has Apple Car Play which my Toyota didn't lol...but that is not what sold me on the switch. The performance of the 5.0L is unmatched. My truck has taken me trough terrains alongside the Jeeps and Toyotas. Not only does it have impressive off-roading capabilities it is an amazing daily driver and long distance cruiser. Very quiet and the seats are comfy. I would buy another one in a heartbeat once mine is on its last legs.
After owning GM my whole life other than a couple exceptions, I have a F150 with a 5.0 and I've been very pleased especially with the interior, it's been a good change...

At the age you are now it’s doubtful you will be concerned with the turbos lasting 20 yrs, just sayin
Very nice.
I'm picking up my 2019 XL in the morning 🙂
3.5 twin turbo, 4X4, extra cab, electric locker, and 36 gallon fuel tank.
That's it..I dont need butt warming seats.👍
I've got a 2017 F250 XL with the 6.2 gas in it. All the truck I need. Easy to clean got a radio heat and air. Power windows I dont care about. Good to go lol
I have a 14 xlt with the 5.0 purchased brand new January of 2015, now has 175000+ miles in it. Not any problems. Best pickup I have ever owned.
💪
Thats a nice truck.. great video 👍
Thanks, Luke!
Bought a 2020 f150xlt with the 5.0l and fx4 package about 9 months ago, Absolutely love it!
46k usd and it doesn’t have leather or a center console, trucks are getting damn expensive buy em used for half the price
You must not buy trucks. They aren’t half price until they have 100k at least on them.
100k is nothing these days.
Diesel Rules I bought my 2015 ram last year with 80k on it for less than half price and it’s mint
@@dieselrules4843 even with 100k they arent half priced...I have seen plenty of 100k trucks that have asking prices of like 30k..im like really I can go get a brand new 2018 model for 36,500...why pay 30 for one with 100k on it..
@@jimbeam7248 but you're talking about a Ram. They have 35% MSRP right now at my local dealer...they also don't hold value very well. I loved buying used as well but owning a new vehicle is awfully nice and worth the price for me
Nice video as always! Keep it up!
Nice truck and great choice of engine. I tested all three engines and the 5.0 just had the smoothest power curve and seemed to have an easier time picking a gear.
Have '15 F150 Lariat with 3.5L ecoboost. Almost 70k miles and no issues. Tow 8000 lb camper. Love it. Enjoy the new truck. Nice color.
5.0 and no center console divider - a man after my own heart.
mountainhobo Column shifter is nice but like having the big center console
Unless you need the extra seat, I can't understand not wanting the bigger center console, unless you love the column shifter
I too bought a 2018 f 150 avec coyote 5.0... Yeah i love my truck. Lots.. Best truck i ever owned. Power and good gas economy if i drive wisely
Made proudly here at kcap! We make the transit here as well where I work. They pump out 700 trucks a shift!

I just replaced my 2007 F 150 King Ranch because I was hit from behind at 60 MPH. It was the safest most reliable vehicle I have ever owned in my 55 years. In 12 years I had to replace the tires, brakes, and oil, but nothing else and never a mechanical breakdown. With 3 daughters in college another King Ranch was just priced too high for my budget, so I settled on a slightly used F 150 XLT with the 5.0 Coyote engine. I have to admit that the speed and response time of this 5 Liter is impressive by any standard, and while the 3.5 dual turbo eco-boost may have better performance, it's tough to beat the reliability and longevity of the 5.0. Great video … Thanks for sharing.
Have a similar XLT, FX4, max tow package has 36 gallon tank, fantastic. Sport package has console shifter. No sun roof.... MPG combined 19.5. Thats with winter gas. Deals were way better on the XLT's than higher trim and they gave me high B/B on trade in. The 10 speed usually is great. But, it can get confused if you are sloppy, step on it, let off, then step on it again. Can be a little clunky, if you try. Really the drive train is very good. The power on the 3.5 is fantastic. Strong down low and just keeps pulling with the 10 speed. No problem, at all, getting up to speed on, on ramps. Some thing that Ford does, is make all the engine options available in all trim levels. Similar GM, top engine would be 5.3. As far a s reliability, "All" those semi trucks have turbos. Change your oil when your suppose to and you will be fine. Pretty impressive how much trucks have improved from my 2007 Tundra.
I am getting 16 combined. Been in the shop 6x in 4K miles. Piece of shit
I own a 2014 XLT 5.0L 6speed auto and it’s a great truck. When I upgraded to larger tires it wasn’t shifting properly and speedo was off. I installed SCT X4 tuner and now speedo reads correct and it shifts flawlessly. Great tuner for towing and performance. The tuner eliminated that typical Auto trans hesitation when you punch the throttle. Gas pedal Has instant response now and excellent engine braking in tow mode.
I like ye truck. I got a new 2015 F150 Platinum 4FX Off-road 3.5 Ecoboost. What’s not to love? Of course being the Platinum, all I have to do is call it, it hooks to my boat, trailer, then comes around to get me. I’ve always had a weakness for quality stuff. Didn’t get for mpg, but still don’t want a gas hog. Get this: lifetime mpg for towing, city, Hwy is 19.7! I take it.
Great series, real people, and you guys prep them well to be interviewed
I purchased 2018 king ranch fx4 crew cab 5.0 3.73 gear, 36 gal tank
Love ❤️ it
I just bought a black 2018 with the 5.0 V8 and 24k miles! Great find. Love it! So glad I traded in my silverado for the F-150. They are sharp trucks.
It's quiet nice to hear genuine owner's review
Nice video guys . It’s nice to see real owners talking about there rides that they pay for and actually use . Ones again great job TFL .
I also have a 2014 F150 with the 3.5 EcoBoost and 141k on it. It's a great truck. I love it.

I like these reviews. What you like and what you don't. Great!
4.6 was the most solid engine Ford built.
None Ya I drive a 2009 screw 4.6 /3v with 140,000 km. It has been bullet proof up to now. I was told they can go up to 400,000km problem free.
zzzoticus yeah, if not more. A family member of mine has one with 300,000 miles (483,000km) on it and still drives/feels new!
I bought my Ford F-150 XLT in 2003 now has 207k miles. Both of my sons drove it in HS. Love it hate to get rid of it. This fellow hopes to keep this truck 7yrs ha! Nice truck enjoy it.
It has the perfect amount of chrome for me
Back in 2013 I bought a 5.0L STX. I just wanted a v8 1/2 ton and this fit the bill. I didn’t want anything to do with the Eco Boost and the turbos, etc. or all the el tro-fail add ins they charge a fortune for. In nine years and 70k it’s maybe the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. One service action on the trans is the only warranty issue. No oil consumption, no leaks, no problems. Love this truck. BTW, I’m a Ford retiree so I get employee pricing. No dealer jive for me on pricing. I feel bad for our owners sometimes.
Pretty cool guy to get interviewed. Great video
I own a 2015 F-150 XLT with the Coyote V-8 , but mine only cost $34,000 when I purchased from Sarasota Ford in August 2015. Does NOT have heated seats! It is very similar to the truck in this video except mine is the SuperCab version. I bought the truck to pull our 32 foot travel trailer (8,750 GVW) and it has been a champ. No problem pulling up these western grades. The FX-4 package came in handy when I unknowingly chose the more technical route to Teller City, Colorado. After the original Goodyear Wranglers wore out, I chose the Yokohama Geolander AT tires which also have an aggressive pattern and the mountain/snow rating. I have 62,000 miles and have only had one issue, a coolant temperature sensor failed and shutdown the truck. I only burn ethanol-free gas and I am getting about 18.9 average mpg. I'm very happy with my truck.
Before buying the 5.0, be sure to look into the cylinder bore distortion as well as the 2018-2019 timing chain guide chirp and engine oil consumption issues. My 2012 CPO 5.0 has had the engine replaced, the new engine showed up with a bad head, and now the drive side valve cover is pissing oil. Luckily it is still under warranty, but once warranty expires in a few months, I will probably be dumping it. Ford just doesn't carry the same quality they used to.
Did you get a brand new engine or a reman
My first truck was a 1990 5.0 lariat regular cab long bed 5 speed manual. Loved that truck.
The ecoboost engine is also an amazing engine as well as the 5.0 so it comes down to preference cause they will both serve u well
My son bought the 2020 Lariat version of this truck with the 5.0 L. Beautiful truck.
Great segment, nice to know more about reliability from owners.
He only has 6000 miles on it.
@@tommytruth7595 true, but with this segment everyone drives different ranges with their vehicles. Will vary from person to person
My 2018 has 4K miles and has been in the shop 6x. Complete piece of shit.
@@JoshEmerySTLcards what engine, and what kind of stuff is going wrong with it?
I bought a used 2006 F-250 FX4 w/tow package, VERY happy with it.
I've got a 2017 f150 5.0 super cab and I love it. I did a test on the highway here with cruise on and perfect conditions I can get 28 mpg. City is half that but way better than I was expecting
If I was buying again the only thing I would add is the higher payload package. Current payload is 2025 lb
I have the HD payload package have 480 pounds more payload than you in a base xlt
@@MCLOVINBOSS429 ya I wish I had that. I can manage with what I've got but would love that bit more. In building an extra light truck camper which should be around 1200 lbs but with gear and people I'll probably be maxed payload
@@RobertJLessard really 500 pounds isn't much throw 2 big guys In the cab and there you've maxed out my HD payload package f150 rating wise they can take much more than that lol trust me I know
@A T according to truck computer ya. I get 10 L/100km on highway (about 1100km on a tank before fill) and that works out to about the 28 mpg. I'm sure if I figured out mileages but actual distance and fillups the computer is being generous on the calculation. I'm also not normally driving only highway so typically it more like 18 to 20 the 28 was best case scenario only highway no cargo and just me in the truck
@A T I did 26 mpg with my 15 f150 with a 5.0 going from Watertown NY to Columbia SC
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
Great segment! I hope we get to see more like this! Nice looking truck there too!
I've been watching all the new episodes on this segment and this is great.
Blows my mind every time I hear a price on a new vehicle. I was at the Toyota dealer and the tundra is more than I have in savings. Yeesh
Jon Test its more than about 95% of Americans have in savings 😂
Most Americans are lucky if they have 20k in cash.
@canadian redneck
20k more than Canadians , your gov takes most of your money and gives it away to less fortunate immigrants
Nice truck, great interview, and thanks for your service Tom.
Give me a King Ranch with the 5.0 and FX 4 package, and I'll be a happy camper 😁👍
@Winterocalypse
That too! I lean toward the simplicity of the V8, but the Ecoboost is a real beast 😁
@Winterocalypse Ecoboost could have problems down the road. I would never buy anything except a V8 in trucks. It is simple, no BS. Who cares about the MPG, if your buying a truck, mpg is not your first concern.
And dont even get me started on all the environmental shit. Its nothing but liberal propoganda.
Cheers
@@AustinC2838 name checks out! 🤣
@@rbutter9200 why hello there fellow redditor
The coyote could have problems down the road also. Any engine can
Nice truck Tom. I drove a plain jane 2011 work truck with 5.0 for 211k miles. Used synthetic oil and still got about 21 mpg highway with no power loss when they gave me the new one in 2016. Best engine out there.
Totally agree! Thanks for the comment
Friendly & informative! Nice episode thanks!
I've got the 2018 with the 5.0L and love it...came from a '16 F250 6.7 Dsl. It was too much truck for what I was doing, driving kids to school etc...ended up trading for my '18...it doesn't have the torque that the Super Duty had obviously but with an S&B CAIntake, it'll jump past someone to pass them on the highway...the whining sound at low speeds doesn't bug me, but yes, the rough shift is a thing at 3rd to 5th. If I was buying it again, I'd go with the Coyote again...drove the 2.7 and 3.5 and couldn't get over the sound of a whirring V6...I had a V6 F150 back in 94...V8 has a nice growl to it...congrats on a sweet truck...I paid 46K for mine as well, windowed at 52,600$...
for sure one of your best segments. I'd like to see a silverado for comparison
They tried but all the Chevy owners were in the dealership service area waiting room and TFL couldn't film there.
Mr M hmmmmm..... never had mine in for anything other than an oil change or routine service. But alright then.
Great segment. Would be great to see some GM
2019 RAM BIG HORN NEXT
I love my 5.0 which by the way is a hemi, no one seems to ever mention this.
I like this real life owners thoughts and opinions on the truck
2018 and above are having oil consumption issues. You might want to check your oil levels frequently. Ford is telling me it is normal to burn 1 litre per 5000kms, that bull.....
I like chrome ! This truck is almost identical to the truck I was building on Ford’s website. I optioned it with a 3.73 locking rear diff and tow mirrors.
The 5.0 is an animal. Best engine ever made. They should turbo charge it for the raptor
Why ruin it with a turbo?
Tommy Truth I don’t think it would ruin it. Just make it more of a monster than what it already is. But id only offer it in the raptor. The power it already comes with added turbo it’d be really strong.
Hennessey performance builds the Velociraptor with a 5.0 coyote that's got a 2.9 liter supercharger on it.
That's coming...
No a supercharger so it can shriek not whine ,it is a raptor not a liberal
I was getting 20.5 mpg on a 2018 5.3 Surburban, doing a Toronto Florida trip, mostly cruising above 70 mph. I drove home through this storm in Pennsylvania that he is talking about. Gotta love the lake effect snow storms, it was a white out.
I'm about to turn 226,000 miles on my '04 FX4; would love a new one but they're too expensive now. When the time comes, I'll drop a rebuilt 5.4 in there and soldier on.
208k on my 05 FX4.
216 on my 08 Lariat. Bought it 5 years ago with 110k on it. Haven’t had a single problem. I think I just wanna buy used when I finally get another truck. You can buy great trucks that have been well taken care of. No reason to buy new, except maybe to stroke your ego.
Just rolled 75000 on my 04 fx4
Excellent video guys, and also great to have a honest opinion of someone that has owned Ford trucks in their lives. Also love this segment, makes you think about your future purchases.
$46k is bit steep. I got mine, now outgoing 2018 Silverado for under $35000, bought in October. Z71 with heated leather seats, bedliner, stock Duratracs...
Now thats a halfway reasonable price for a truck.
Full size fourdoor or halfdoor?
@@Pantallideth94 Double cab, so it is the shorter cab/door. I chose the shorter cab in favor of longer box...
Bought my 2017 F150 STX 4x4 5.0 supercrew for $31,000. Dealership cut me a massive deal for repeat business but it's all in how you negotiate.
This was good!
Had 2 rams back to back then my 5.0 f150. Night and day towing difference with my camper. The payload is
Amazing. The whining he mentioned on video is air intake whistle. Bitched about it on mine. They said normal. Only hear it barely touching gas. Love my f150
@scott hunt
So you downgraded then, that’s ok I guess
Love my 3.5 EcoBoost.
Nice truck. I have a 1997 F-150 that I gave to my son back in 2012 that is still running good. Very reliable with just under 300,000 miles. No major issues with this truck. It’s got some minor cosmetic issues, some of the electronics wearing out, etc. overall I think Fords are very dependable.
Nice truck! I bought a Chevy Silverado with comparable equipment. I use it to tow our travel trailer.
Smart choice
Fantastic overview Roman, Tom and Tommy. Thanks! 👍👍
I love Ford trucks but I must say hearing all the good things about the power wagon makes me run out and buy a warn winch now.
It was just his tires not the truck. Stock tires are not gonna be good in 12 inch deep snow like colorado gets
Cool segment... congratulations on the new truck.
Is the 5.0 a dual injection system? I hear that keeps the valves cleaner than just the direct injection only system.
Yes it is.
2018 and up
I have this same truck in lightning blue. I love it and the coyote 5.0 is a beast. I’m glad I chose the 5.0 I drove it from the dealer i got it from in North Carolina to my home in Connecticut it drove amazing and it’s very comfortable on long drives!
Love the segment, I have a 2017 2.7 EB. But I live in TX for an interview
George Caballero how’s that 2.7 EB treating you? Any issues and do you wish you had gone with NA 5.0?
@@dcarts5616 no big issues, just it had a oil leak at the oil pan and it was replaced by warranty and no issues since then. Compared with the 5.0 I would go again the 2.7eb. My truck is my weeked toy. I don't tow or use it in the way that i would need something bigger. Just family trips to Colorado and Tx. But compared with the 5.0 my 2017 give me around 22mpg the 5.0 gives me around 21mpg at 70mph. How I know this, I rent for work the a 5.0 F150. The EB had a little lag about 2sec. when you need power and the 5.0 is instant but is not a big issue for me.
@@dcarts5616 I have 2020 with 2.7EB....fantastic motor. it does have turbo lag, but once those turbos spool, it has GREAT power. Acceleration is actually faster than the 5.0, as shown on this channel (not sure about the rear end ratio though on that video, will look it up). Consistent 20.5 MPG so far, but the more you get on those turbos, the lower you'll get.
When someone says the power difference between the 3.5 EcoBoost and 5.0 isn't that great what they really are saying is that the EcoBoost is out of their price range
Got my 2018 Lariat crewcab FX4 with the 5.0 two months ago out the door for 49k at 0% from Ford I am so far really happy with it just waiting on my Morimoto headlights
Eh, for 50 grand I remodeled my kitchen, bathroom, and finished a basement with added bathroom.
Those morimito headlights are siiiiick
Vault 614 You buying the whole headlight assembly or just the bulbs? I’m taking delivery of my Supernova V.4 LED headlight bulbs from Headlight Revolution today for my 2012 XLT. Supposed to be at least 400% brighter than stock with the same beam pattern.
Rick Tatorship changing assembly to the morimoto xb leds
yea bouy well you would definitely have problems with the Morimotos bc they run from 1400 to 1600 depending on where you find them in stock
I get the whine when I put into reverse .. have 18 2.7tt. Best half ton truck towing I have ever had . Pulls my 28ft 4 place inline sled trailer fully loaded 5000lb 13.7mpg at 75-80mph . Cannot believe it !!!

the "blue jeans" blue is a really nice color
@@electrohacker for sure and those tires are perfect. Love that front end. Blackout those wheels, get a winch and a topper and that truck is set! What a price too!
@@davidpatrick8153 actually I got the same truck just a year older for 8k less
Thanks for posting the review with Tom, Roman. I just purchased a 2019 F150 FX-4 Coyote partly because of this review. Great truck! And, ... yes, ... I was also wooed by the Power Wagon, ... until I checked my bank balance.
Roman couldn't help promoting his Ram love affair
Yea but you could tell he was trying to dial it back some this time. Not his usual all out Ford haterism that has been in some of the recent videos. But he did work in a couple jabs.
@@Fordman7575 I think Tommy, Andre, and the other guys are much more objective than Roman
Yeah, enough with the Ram! He got a great deal on a great truck. Dude was talking about his truck and Roman kept bringing up the Ram. Kind of rude, in my opinion. Here is an idea, do a video on a ram truck if u like them so much Roman.
@@truckertoddllc Me too.
Indeed true.
I have to say as Ram owner, the simplistic and symmetric front grill design with classic truck lines looks are just attractive. I didn't like 2017 models grills looked like cut on bottom, but this is nice. For same reason the Rebel grill didn't grow on me yet
I ve had a 2017 Ram and now a 2018 Ford. Ecoboost is awesome but both of them gave me this feeling like I was waiting for something to break. Both had ticks and grinds and unhealthy noises and both made me miss my 2009 Tundra Limitted
That's why I didn't stray from good old 5.3. Others might have more gadgets and a little more power, but if its treated you good before why risk it.
cinder 99 Don’t you mean 5.7?
I tried to buy a Tundra. After being in the F150, then Tundra, whew, what a difference! Tundra felt like a tin can. Plus I could hardly get inside the thing the way the door is.
What the tundra and my wife’s sienna give me is a feeling of reliability that the others just don’t have. They are old outdated and simple in comparison. But there’s genius in their ways. They only developed one transmission two motor sand one rear end . Ford has too many to spend time getting one right. I own a 2018 F150 lariat now 6000 miles making all sorts of noises sounds like the timing chain is rattling around in there been in the shop for weeks. The 10 speed is clunky at best. Hard down shifts to 5 th and 3rd. And I know that thing is gonna be a problem. You can’t fit ten gears in a truck which used to have 6 and keep the same durability there’s a reason none of the Hd trucks have more than 6 and even at 6 the ram 68rfe is a pos. Can only imagine their innovation of puking their half ton transmission into their 3/4 ton gasser is going to break even more hearts. Toyota s were simple. That was it’s beauty I had 170k miles on mine when I traded it for a 2017 Cummins got 17 for a trade. Cummins is awesome the rest of the ram truck sucked balls wobbled from the day I bought it lived in the shop nothing but headaches. Traded my 65000 dollar ram in a tear later got a whopping 45k for trade in and felt bad even taking that the tranny was smoked and it wobbled and grinded. Was between a tundra trd pro and a for ecoboost. I likes the ecoboost for towing and the nice sunroof. Wife said to get the Toyota. I didn’t listen. I wanted a fast truck. Truck has lived in the shop ever since.
@@ziggy149 No I'm talking about chevy 5.3. But was in similar situation to o.p., had a 04 Silverado with 170k on it and didn't even want to get rid of it it was so damn good to me. But had to buy new truck for business and was tempted by twin turbo EcoBoost power, then I thought who cares how fast a truck is, I'm staying with what I trust.
I traded out of my 2018 Tacoma TRD OffRoad for a 2016 F150 XLT 5.0L. What is crazy is that my 2016 F150 has Apple Car Play which my Toyota didn't lol...but that is not what sold me on the switch. The performance of the 5.0L is unmatched. My truck has taken me trough terrains alongside the Jeeps and Toyotas. Not only does it have impressive off-roading capabilities it is an amazing daily driver and long distance cruiser. Very quiet and the seats are comfy. I would buy another one in a heartbeat once mine is on its last legs.
Great new series this.
After owning GM my whole life other than a couple exceptions, I have a F150 with a 5.0 and I've been very pleased especially with the interior, it's been a good change...
Still good? I might trade in my 2014 silverado for a 2019 ford
