    I recently purchased a 2023 F-150 XLT Fx4 with the 5.0 engine and I'm really enjoying this truck. This is the first Ford I have ever owned and I went back and forth between the Silverado, Sierra, and Ram before making my decision. I plan to keep this truck for a long time and the Ford had all the features, comfortability, cab space, and power for my family's needs. Great job Ford!

    I bought a 2022 F150 Powerboost Larait…it now has 25k with zero issues. My last truck was a 2013 ecoboost Larait with zero issues. My 2022 rides so smooth and is so powerful with 475hp and almost 600t. Pulls my camper and dump trailer with ease. The best part of this truck is the onboard 7200 watt generator, it’s a game changer and I will keep this truck till the tires fall off.

    I love my 2019 Ford loaded XLT. When I bought it new I thoroughly researched and comparison shopped between Ford, Toyota, GM and Ram. I felt the Ford was the best for multiple reasons.
    Now I'm in the market for a new one. Still leaning Ford but now towards the Lariat. Two factors are holding me back on 2025. Price, obviously, but I'm really disappointed the keypad is gone. I use mine on the daily. Dealer installed version looks cheap and don't necessarily want to add to a $100k vehicle. Hope Ford hears customer feedback and they change their minds halfway through the 2025 production.
    Keep up the great work fellas. Love the channel.

    I’m hoping the ridiculously high tow numbers reflect how much it is better\improved at towing 8k lbs than trucks with lower ridiculous tow numbers; for instance, divide the tow number by 8k to get the performance when towing 8k lbs:
    14/8=1.75 tow performance
    12/8=1.5 tow performance
    9.5/8=1.188 tow performance
    Etc.

    Good point on the tailgate for towing. However, I have always just setup my trailers to make sure i can open the gate.. personally haven't ran into a trailer yet where I can't do that..however maybe a tall deck over or something could be problematic.

    Never thought I'd end up owning an F-150 but this year the odds steered me towards getting a loaded '24 XLT 302A. I did a lot of research (as you should) and initially considered a Sierra Elevation but I can't find quite the overall unit that I want and also that $20k price difference. My objective was really just to upgrade my cargo space for our growing family and maybe give towing a try so I opted for the 2.7L Ecoboost. I'm at 7,000kms now and so far no complaints, very modern looking, very capable especially with our Canadian prarie winters. Ford had an early start on these Twin Turbo V6(2015) which gives them an edge compared to other companies also while still offering the Coyote V8s. However, all modern V8s are getting complicated because of cylinder deactivation systems so keep an eye on that.

    I love my 2020 F-150 XLT FX4 5.0. I will say, though, that there is just no value proposition for me to upgrade to a new one, given the exploding prices. And that's not a problem unique to Ford, that's an industry issue. I can upgrade my terrible halogen headlights to Morimoto XB Hybrids for under $1,000, and I'd like to add a small leveling kit and Raptor running boards. The only other feature I'd want and can't upgrade to, is the 4-auto; Ford is so stingy with that, putting it only on Lariat or higher. But to me it's not enough to make me spend tens of thousands more to update.

    Ford is the best all around truck in my opinion. You have better engine options, compared to the competition. Changing the configurations options was smart on Fords move. I wish that we still could get leather in the Lariat, but the majority of buyers can’t tell a difference. No truck is perfect, but after driving hundreds, I stand by the F-150 is the best all around truck. Ford has all continued to improve the ecoboost motors also. Toyota has had far more issues with the new generation Tundra and Tacoma. Ford may not be perfect, but it is a reliable truck- with any of the engines and options.

I have a crew cab now and I just don't like how long it is, plus it has so many things that I just don't use or like. The two worst things are the leather seats and the tailgate dampener.

Simplifying configurations hasn't reduced costs to consumers and Ford still leads all manufacturersin total recalls. The tailgate is late. RAM and GM have had for years.

    I am a Ford person. I hate the fact that Ford took away my ability to build my truck. I do not sell my truck every five years. This is one vehicle I intend to keep for a long time. For instance, I love the King Ranch interior. But, with this build, you can not get a v eight. You can not have a six and half foot bed. You have to have the ugly stripe with your paint job. I wanted all one color. What is the purpose of the stripe. Is it to let the car thieves know I have a king Ranch? Let's steal that truck. I love my big mirrors on my F250. As far as I know, I can order them with the tow package on the F150. I will do that. Thanks for letting me vent. The bottom line is that I do not think it is a good thing to take away so many things from us when it comes to buying a truck.
