We just purchased the exact same truck with the 6.5 ft. bed and only 22k miles on it, apparently `turned in after a 3 year lease. The video is spot-on! It's everything and more with all the bells and whistles you could possibly want.
Thanks for showing us every little detail of this truck. Going over every button/feature under 12 minutes is really awesome. Great work and I'm subscribed!
I wish F150s came with leather in the middle part of the steering wheel and have stitching running down both sides. It would make the interior a lot better. In higher trims at least.
Personally, I like the look of the 2018-2020 F-150 more than the 2021. I think the 2021 looks fine, but it reminds me of the 2015-2018 GMC Sierra. If you happen to prefer that look, then more power to you. I just find it a little too conservative for my taste. By the way, don't discount the naturally aspirated 3.3L V6 engine if you're shopping for an F-150 on a tight budget. Unless you live at a high elevation or plan to do a lot of towing and heavy duty hauling, you probably won't need an EcoBoost engine. My 3.3L V6 F-150 is my daily driver, and I've also used it to haul furniture. It's been great so far.
Last year I left my Tundra and get my Lariat v8 2019...best decision ever...I'll get the new 2021 end of December...the best truck ever..rides smooth and v8 coyote doesn't need comments...only thing that's bother me is the cylinder deactivation..
Easy answer for me. If you’re wanting an EcoBoost, wait for the 2021 because they look good and there will be improvements we don’t know about yet. If you’re wanting a 5.0 it’s a toss up for me. Reason being the 2021 5.0 will have cylinder deactivation. All that will do is reduce the reliability and might save you a couple pennies per fill up. Really disappointed Ford is doing that. The 5.0 has always been a solid motor.
Well done. If prospective buyers would like an F-150 but want to lower cost and increase their savings, an STX is a great option. You can customize it over time and your wallet won’t be crying. But, if you’re someone who has to have all the nice features, you’ll have to pay for those features.
I've been looking for a good truck that I'll need to get me to work. I am a new pipefitter apprentice and I'm not sure yet what I want. Definitely love the look and quality of a F-150, any other models or trucks you could recommend? Love the review!
There is no longer an XLT black out edition or special edition in the 21s. Not to mention they went up 5k if you want it properly equipped. The tailgate step is now an extra $100 now compared to before just for example. I'd say stick with a 2020 if you want to buy a new f-150
Is a 2016 white on black leather 3.5L Lariat FX4 with 53k miles at 40k worth it? Private party no tax. What can I expect for depreciation on this? Is it a good investment? Over a Tacoma? It has a lot of aftermarket on it as well about 8k in add ons, wheels, tires, leveling kit, 6.5 bed, rear heated seats, twin panel moon roof. Air bags, upgraded leaf springs for extra tow custom, truck is from Canada make not MX?
My truck is exactly like this, led headlights and all. But maybe 3k cheaper though. So far I'm loving it. Plan on getting the new raptor if ford gets everything right.
That is a WICKED looking truck. I've got pretty much the same truck only a 2018. Curious to see the new '21s when some arrive this weekend at the local dealership.
Great video my guy! Why doesn't Ohio have scenery like that? This also made me realize that my 2016 is basically the XLT version of that truck, and I love that truck! Where is that Black Out Package on the 2017-2019s? Can't find it.. 😐
My new ford and a lot of other peoples newer fords have been adding miles when the vehicle is off. Mine went up an extra 10,000 miles in a year and ford is denying it. Write your mileage down every time you’re done driving and keep track. Ford needs to take accountability for this.
Hi , I just got the 2020 lariat and I noticed that you can’t open the tailgate while engine is running. Do I have to do program something for it to open? Thanks in advance
The Lariat Black Appearance Pkg must be a region-specific offering; I have never seen on e of these in my corner of the US southeast. Perhaps it’s Canada only?
could you get different grilles? I have a 2020 stx that has this grille. I’ve been looking for a 2020 lariat sport but it seems most of them have the grille with 2 horizontal bars. Also I want a supercab configuration but not seeing any supercab lariat sports with this stx style grille. Does this configuration exist?
Not sure if it’s true or not but I heard that the 2021 will not be offering a “Black Appearance Package”. Not that important cause I have the 2020 black appearance as shown here with the 502A package, beautiful truck with the 3.5L EcoBoost Twin-Turbocharged V6 and it tows like a beast. Just Saying!!
If you got a good deal one I’m sure some in the market would take the note up if you wanna switch up but you’ll be starting over a lot of people wouldn’t mine 10k cheaper one year used but not enough has changed to warrant a upgrade for me I bought a basic 2019 and just sold it for exactly what I owed I might wait on the cybertruck or get the ram rebel...ford still penny pinching and not giving out enough features in its cars lost lead in Explorer skipped the mustang and barely got anything new for the f150..I’m willing to bet the will start packing a lot of features or dropping prices
Not saying GM sucks but, New ford's are proven to be more reliable and safer than GM vehicles. The F-150 has always been America's favorite truck since 1948.
Not always the case my friend. When Car & Driver compared the Chevrolet Silverado High Country and the Ford F-150 Limited, the Ford was actually heavier and quicker. Those panoramic roofs on the Fords add a lot of weight.

How funny is it I searched this up looking to see if you did a review and u did 6 hours ago! You always know how to please Benjamin!
Hahahahaha yes!
The current Ford's are the best looking trucks on the road.
I wish F150s came with leather in the middle part of the steering wheel and have stitching running down both sides. It would make the interior a lot better. In higher trims at least.
I've got the same truck with the 5.0 roush supercharged and lowered it 4 inches, love it.
What lowering kit did you use?

So in other words if you work a office job and only get a truck to haul a recliner from big lots to your condo then get the v6
Mine is the black appearance sport package and it looks almost the same love it so much
I. Light a 2020 2 months ago when you did this review. It’s a great truck. No complaints. The V6 turbo is WICKED FAST
The f150 looks really good all blacked out especially the front
I sell these and the black appearance f150s don't last on the lot at all. Looks clean 👌
Hell yes wait for 2021👍🏻

Man I can’t wait til my birthday. Because im definitely getting an f150. I want a raptor but that’s waaay out of my budget.
Holly shit man that's a hell of a bday present. Let me show this to my wife real quick.

Ohh Soo nice Ben good job
Pretty good review! And, you must be trying to make a fashion statement with wearing socks with sandals!! LOL

Ram is nearly the same width as the f150. Where the f150 handles better or feels smaller is because it's 800 pounds lighter...
Am a F150 fan ever since the Lightning ☺️ But .. for more than $10,000 extra over the XLT,, I think the “extras” doesn’t justify.

Great vid! Is a black truck really as hard to keep clean as some people say??? 😳🤔
Yes
White and silver are the two easiest colors to maintain.
Driving on maxey rd hit on 90 high way going 610 south in the back of the tailgate is Chrome
That is a WICKED looking truck. I've got pretty much the same truck only a 2018. Curious to see the new '21s when some arrive this weekend at the local dealership.

Good video Ben, nice truck, but I think I'd wait for a 2021 F-150, or maybe a "wild" Bronco, yeeehaw!!
Hi , I just got the 2020 lariat and I noticed that you can’t open the tailgate while engine is running. Do I have to do program something for it to open? Thanks in advance
I wasn't actually considering an F-150 but may now.
102 degrees? You're getting me just as hot in those Teva's with crew socks
The Lariat Black Appearance Pkg must be a region-specific offering; I have never seen on e of these in my corner of the US southeast. Perhaps it’s Canada only?
Reefs with socks! Awesome look brother.
could you get different grilles? I have a 2020 stx that has this grille. I’ve been looking for a 2020 lariat sport but it seems most of them have the grille with 2 horizontal bars. Also I want a supercab configuration but not seeing any supercab lariat sports with this stx style grille. Does this configuration exist?
Ram I think has the nicest interior
Socks with sandals? 😂😂😁😂
Yeah but the reliability...
I just want to know maintenance longevity on the ecoboost and resale vs a tacoma??
Not sure if it’s true or not but I heard that the 2021 will not be offering a “Black Appearance Package”.
Not that important cause I have the 2020 black appearance as shown here with the 502A package, beautiful truck with the 3.5L EcoBoost Twin-Turbocharged V6 and it tows like a beast. Just Saying!!
Is this black the same color code that normal package or this one is different, if it is different, can someone tell me what the Color code is?
How does shift speed compare to your Raptor? I was disappointed that my '20 black package didn't shift as quickly as a friends '19 Raptor.
Little slower compared to the sport mode in the raptor
You should get one as your next car
Just wait till the 21's appear on the lot, then they'll give you a bargain on the 20's that haven't sold yet.
Yup waiting till next year to get a2020
Exactly, good advice!!
Stockpile is getting low. Dearborn Truck is running the 21 and local dealer usually at 200 on the lot they are down to 18. 21s gonna be late!
3:52 WHAT ARE THOSE!!? LMAO
Full size truck? I need a V8 in the bad boy to be worth it. Hate that many manufacturers are going away from it.
Socks with sandals ? 😂😂😂😂
That noise when younstart the truck needs to be taken care of, thats a recall campaign, take it to the dealership asap
I bought an 2020 f150 last month but i didn’t know that there will be a new design on 2021
What do i do now?
What do you mean what do you do? This isn't costco, you can't return it. So enjoy your new car my man.

WHAT ARE THOSE?!
Those sandals with socks though hahaha
That’s how you get the ladies😏
@@BenHardyCars Haha respect.. definitely don't lack any confidence wearing those bad boys!
Best f150 grille
Does ford sell that blacked out FX4 decal I cant find it anywhere.
Definitely a truck I’d get
V6 or V8 I don’t care! This is a sexy truck, I gotta have it!
3.5EB or GMs 6.2 I’ll take either.
My black version didn't come with an exhaust tip or engine cover.
Ram 1500 wins my heart even though 2021 model is coming out for F150
Black out is easier to do and more money.?
Stereo any good?
I decided to wait, except there is no black pkg in 2021
Where can i get one of these
Sweet truck! Only difference I’d get is the V8 of course!
I was heavily leaning that direction until I went and test drove both of them
@@r2ba435 what was your takeaway? V8s ain’t worth the price?
Was someone chasing this guy? Rush rush!
YES DAD LETS GET THIS BREAD NEW VID OUT LETS GOOO
RAM 1500 black appearance is better but I still love new 2021 F150
FYI, no black appearance package on the 2021s.
Bronco or the new 2021 f150 hmmm?
Do a 5.0 f150
Interior is antiquated, the need a redo
Love the truck, to bad that eco boost won’t last as long as the naturally aspirated v6 or v8.
@Picachuu 3 do you do a lot or mostly highway driving or do you baby it?
Picachuu 3 so it can go another 380k 😁
Pinche troca perrona🔥
What state is this?
It doesn't have the tech package w/12" display?
Only the 2021’s have it.
Only 65k huh? Only need about 40k more and I can afford one 👍
Just lease the thing
I was expecting a prius review until the camera panned over to a truck.
they shoild have called this the "midnight package"
Wow prices have sure gone up. My 2017 f150 platinum fully loaded was $65k and has way nicer interior and massaging seats.
Yeah but with that logic you could also buy a 2014 Mercedes s550 that will destroy the quality of a Ford. Just saying.
Bibi Weeby why on earth would anyone do that lol. Get the Benz when I’m 60 and retired.
Nice video but I go for syber truck
I have the same truck and package but it’s not the lariat
I’d prefer the Raptor over the standard F-150.
Slow down on your zooming please...I feel like I just got off the boat. Otherwise good info.
I was in on this video until i saw your footwear.
Yo your in Provo? 🤣
Is f150 reliable?
Not saying GM sucks but, New ford's are proven to be more reliable and safer than GM vehicles. The F-150 has always been America's favorite truck since 1948.
F150 has aluminum lighter body then the GMC. That's why it's so quick. I don't like chrome this black package is sharp.
Not always the case my friend. When Car & Driver compared the Chevrolet Silverado High Country and the Ford F-150 Limited, the Ford was actually heavier and quicker. Those panoramic roofs on the Fords add a lot of weight.
The weight difference is bs. I had a 2017 GMC 1500 and now have a 2020 F150 SC 4x4 XLT 302A and they both weigh 5200 lbs at the dump.
Besides, the GMC is now mostly aluminum also.
65.000 dolars in euro 50.000 not bad for this sweet monster
My wife would never allow me to leave the house with white socks and sandals.... just sayin. Good review though!
Lol
The black appearance package got discontinued for ‘21
It did?! Why?! It looks so good though
Waiting for trx 2021
I waited 10 years to be able to afford a 2001 f150 xlt
First, Twitter got hacked LOL
Really?🤣
@@BenHardyCars You didn't know? Its breaking news! th-cam.com/video/hkZL9H2sZNU/w-d-xo.html
Nice truck
Liked the review, but don’t wear socks and sandals bro!🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ 🧦🚫
I like it I like it a lot 🧐🤔😻
I love it!!❤️❤️❤️🤤🤟👌
Look at the rocky ridge silverados man Bj e but again old interior
Provo Utah! 👍👍👍
No bed liner for 65k??? Come on
Does good reviews but can take him serious with sock and sandals at least the were white not black
BLACK
