The gen 3 3.5L is as reliable or more than the current 5.0; In my opinion. I could go over why. Just because something has turbos, doesn’t make it less reliable either. Turbos are used on ships, diesels, aircraft, trains . They can last years and hundreds of thousand of miles.
I agree with you! They would sell so many more trucks if they would just lower the price so the average person could afford one without putting a strain on their household income.
I have a 2021 STX FX4. 3.5 tt with a 3.55 rear. If you like the 10 speed drop a tune on it and you will love it. Of course we are over paying but it is what it is. You have to bite the bullet if you want a new truck nowadays.
@@brettyoung1659 very true. I do think people should not pay MSRP at this point because I interviewed a general manger (albeit from GM) but essentially what we will see in the coming year will be a stay on MSRPs but more incentives during certain periods so just wait for those to come in and get 10 to 15k off MSRP
@@Outsider.ReviewsGreat comments here. I’m looking to buy a 2023 or 2024 in the next few weeks. However, based on your comment above, I’m thinking I should wait a few months for deeper cuts in the MSRP.
@@LazzarrusLong I would touch base now with your preferred dealer and let them know you're looking to buy but shop their number around. It took me 3 weeks to get a good deal and shopping numbers around.
Lariat is actually considered more middle trim. Although, not as popular or that much different, thane the 302A-XLT. XLT is the most popular trim- 302A being exact. Sold Ford and still think it is the best overall truck- currently.
@Willbur-91 At this point, I don't know. I thought they would for sure, but manufacturers have all decided to slow production down instead and sell fewer vehicles with a higher profit margin. This will keep going until it pays less than it did before when they mass produced and had lower margins but made their money off selling more vehicles
@lamontwaters510 that's what I thought and I usually don't mention that because it's across the line with all OEM so not much point but I just had to this time
Nice truck i love it i have the 3.6 ecoboost-i agree with your points, the prices are insane, the only bad point is the price of the bluecruise to keep it working,i just lost the 90 days free trial,iam not planning to add another 65 CAD per month for that, hope that they give promotions, iam gonna loose the navigation next year i think(here another option to pay for more) thanks for sharing
That is a very steep price for Bluecruise and I am Not a fan of subscription base features, ESPECIALLY when you have to pay a large sum initially just to have the feature! I think you might see that price go down as time passes because that is what we are seeing with older systems such as the Tesla autopilot or FSD, they were initially more expensive than they are now.... or at least I hope they will be.
Your truck looks awesome. However, I’ve been looking at F1 50s for the last three months. You definitely paid too much money. I could have picked up a lariat with ventilated seats panoramic roof built-in generator the whole 9 yards for 72K.

What trim level and motor do you have? Some of the lighter and 2wd trucks can be more bouncy. May 24 fx4 3.5L is pretty planted and does not have that issue. Ford really improved that on the 2021 and up. The 2.7L is lighter and 2wd don’t have the same springs or suspension.
@calebniederhofer6529 the 2.7L XLT with FX4 and black appearance package which falls under your 'bouncy' criteria. I really want to rest all the other powertrain but I am at the mercy of the press fleet availability. The powerboost was a lot less bouncy last year so you are probably right
Awesome truck! I would opt for the twin turbo 3.5 or the 5.0. Tremendous amount of low end torque and hp with the 3.5 and good mpg with both engines
@@wesmahon123 absolutely! So much power too
F150 deserves a 5.0 V8.... No turbos. No V6.
