Take a look at our review of the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT Max Tow th-cam.com/video/G5kLCdcTH7I/w-d-xo.html - It competes directly against this Lariat on price.
To use remote start you are supposed to double click quickly, you were going a little slow there Roman ;)
Travis Martin on Miya 2019, I have to press lock once, then start twice. Truck is still new so am fumbling around to get all the nuances down but am thrilled with the 5.0!
Purchased an 18 150 platinum last week. Very impressed but I chose the 5.0 motor.
5.0 liter over the Ecoboost all day. It will be longer lasting than the Ecoboost's.
Say that to the guy who's coming up on 300k on his 2011 ecoboost
I have a used F150 with the 5.0 engine and all I can say after shopping against the other makes is the 5.0 is underrated. What a great engine. It sounds great, good fuel economy for a truck (on trips 21-22mpg), sounds great when you put down the pedal and is as refined as luxury car engine at highway speeds. Drove me nuts how loud the Tundra 5.7 was, even when it was not working.
michael morales smart move
Nathan Salyers proof?
Seriously just bought this exact truck 2 months ago and absolutely love it. Heavy discount was on it. The price was 66k and got it for 53k after about 2 hours of negotiations.
The out the door prices are actually falling. The new RAM already has $15k of discounts.
I was wondering about the sticker price on the Lariat because I've been looking at a new Raptor with every available option plus aftermarket wheels for a sticker price of $70,000.
Zachary Zarko Unlikely that you’d get a discount on a Raptor. Very common to end up paying $10k above MSRP sticker on Raptor.
I saw a 2018 new lariat with the luxury package with msrp of 61 right now going for 50k. You think it'd be possible to get it lower especially cause it's a 2018 on the lot still?
I just bought a 2017 xlt with 19.000 mile for under 35.000. Mint condition..I love it.
Nice truck, I just wish it would cost 35grand and not 65grand lol
nate michaud that’s loaded top of the line truck tho. 4x4 3.5 starts at 42k I believe
Devin Bender that’s not my point. The point was a lariat should be around 35 grand. For 65 grand I would go 6.7 f250
Just get a slightly older one. Just bought a 2015 5.0 lariat 501A and it's the shit. All the useful features and functionality at a price that makes sense.
Donte Brown 2015 doesnt have the power and speed of the new f150s.
4 years later and I’m about to buy one for 30k lol
Have put 15000 miles so far on my 2018 F150 Lariat and loving it. ❤️
Eco or 5.0?
The 3.5 eco
Nice bro we have the same truck
Humberto Guillen ❤️🧔👍
Chris Bjarkman The ASL piper Couldnt afford the 3.5 ecoboost but i did get a great deal on a 5.0 stx XL supercrew. Nice trucks but after comin from the 6 speed auto transmission, the 10 speed can sometimes feel a bit jerky shifting all the time, especially city driving. On the high way though they drive like a dream.
Not just America, the F-150 was the most popular vehicle period and the best selling vehicle in the world for 2017.
If that truck had the 5.0 it would be perfect 👌
Single or Twin Turbo 5.0 would be awesome..
Sure wish the 5.0 was reviewed more
Went shopping for a Lariat. Ended up purchasing a 2018 XLT Screw. FX4, tow, nav, 3.5. Sport package has more durable cloth and console shifter. End of year incentives, almost 14K off MSRP. Plus strong trade in price. Couldn't get near that on the higher trims. Tough choice, 5.0 or 3.5. Both have strong performance. Not much that I'm "missing" as far as options. Especially that I could park a nice motorcycle in the garage for price difference from the Lariat. I think GM and RAM also make a good product. I like that Ford has most engine choices for all trim levels. Ford has done a really good job with this vehicle. As far as ecoboost reliability. All the big rigs use turbo engines and can run a million miles before over-haul. Research shows the eco-boost are quite reliable. "Change the oil...." The sound, well..... Did I mention the torque is amazing and with the 10 speed.
Gregory Thew big difference between a turbo diesel and a gas diesel.
best truck in the world!
Why the comments on how expensive it is? You pay for what it is. Best selling,most technology, highest tow capacity. Never rust body. And not to mention how beautiful it is to look at. What else is there? Ram? Silveraydo? Not buying something built by FCA and couldn't pay me enough to take a Chevy. They're almost painful to look at.
Hahahahha. Its ugly af.
I'd choose to buy. If I wasn't a college student. And actually had the money.
Proud to be Ford F-150 owner ❤️
Yes indeed 😁
Love my 18 XLT Sport too Ahmad. Great truck.
Midnight oh yeah I have the 18 XLT sport with 2.7 Eco. Amazing truck, very smooth and I’m enjoying every single mile with it. I hope you enjoy yours too.
Same here I also have a 2018 lariat sport. Love when I beat Chevy dodge In a race puts a big smile on my face
@@humbertoguillen5694 ha! I dont think so loser.
Hell yeah its alot.
Should be 35k.
I don't care what vehicle it is.
No vehicle is worth over 40k.🤔😤😤😤
Land cruiser. Easily last you 25+ years.
Trucks are too expensive u have to win the mega million to buy a truck today
Christopher Brown, That`s an extreme bit of exaggeration wouldn`t you say?
Yeah it is but damn trucks are expensive
Or get a 800 dollar pay
I just bought a certified preowned 2015 F150 XLT with 27,000 Miles for $29,000. Shop Around. Sometimes getting used is a better choice.
why would it be a better choice if its a 2015 shitty base model? this is a lariat not a cheap ass xlt...
I love my used '12 F150 but having said that, the sticker price is amazing to me on these new trucks. Like they said, if people were not buying them, they would not be priced up like this but I cannot believe middle class people are coming up with the money to pay that much for trucks. Ours is a basic XLT with all you need but not really any toys and that was enough $$ for us. Shopped the other makes and it is not like any one was a great deal over the others.
Stephen Zerfas agreed but on a daily basis I see 2-3 raptors a day. Those are 65k+ USED let alone new!!!! so that right there tells me the truck market is super rich.
$399 a month for the next 10 years. There's your answer.
It has Sync 3 Apply/Android and you can do natural speech to Siri / Alexa. My 2017 Platinum does.
Not surprising. Of course the newer trucks will surpass the current gen. Not to worry, a new F-150 is on the way 😁
😒
Just got back from a >16k mile road trip from TX to AK in my 2018 FX4 Lariat with a 3.5eb. Not once was I concerned about its capabilities or performance.
Had a blast without any vehicle concerns.
16k miles. That’s about what 750 gallons? That’s crazy to think about. That in a Full sized truck with 400lbft+ of torque you can spend less than $2000 on gas to go that far!
And here I am with my 2018 Silverado and won't go over 30 miles because the last time I did, I lost my drive shaft. I'll never by anything except Ford from here on out.
Really need to do a 2018 f150 5.0 Ike Gauntlet test
You better double-check the size of the Silverado because it is nowhere near as big in the back and it does not have a flat floor the RAM on the other hand it is as big in the backseat
I was about to say the same thing and GM has been recycling the same dash for years. Also GM has had that same interior since like 2013 so it's clearly older looking than the Ford.
I went with the 3.5 ecoboost for the smaller engine when I run errands around town. When the turbos kick in its supposed to be equivalent to about a 6.0 I can tow a 8,500 lbs trailer no problem. I get the best of both worlds. That was a selling point for me. So far I'm impressed with the ecoboost.
F150 will always be the best in class.
Nah. I'll pass.
Sorry and this goes for all brands but I can't see myself paying $60k plus for a half ton when I can just get a Three quarter ton Diesel for less or the same. (Depending on brand)
Ford f150 Crew cab 4x4 stx with v8 please review
The STX is the bare minimum truck, but I'm sure you figured that out by now. No navigation, no power seats, no heated mirrors\seats\steering wheel, no sliding back glass, no auto dimming mirrors, no down hill assist for 4x4, no electronic rear locking differential for 4x4, and no skid plates, and no split camera view for 4x4. You can get the FX4 package on the STX which gives you the 4x4 options that the generic STX package does not, and you can also get the towing package in the STX.
Yeah 6 engine options and the only one worth a damn is the 5.0.
I have a 2015 F150 5.0 V-8 and I love it best truck i have ever owned! Has the power i need and its a Great looking truck, Very dependable to never had a issue with the truck.
How's your truck? Still good? I have a 2011 with transmission issues. I've seen a lot of 15' and 16' F-150's for sale and was wondering if you have any problems with yours.
I love your channel. I think Roman, Andre and Nathan (along with Mr. Truck) seem to have a really good chemistry together. I hope you all get along in real life, as it's enjoyable to watch you on the TH-cam screen.
If you need more space than what's inside a crew cab, buy a van. Self driving cars are not far away and once they're here, vehicle's will become nice places to take long naps. When that happens, vans my become the most popular seller.
Wonder what resale value is gonna be in 5-10 years. At 65k
Jared Baux ford trucks as of late have held up really well.
For a 5-10 year old F150 lariat with about 100k on it.
It was 50k new about 20-25k now.
So just under half.
So In 2028 you can get this truck for about 30k
10 year resale, that's just a stupid question..
@@devinbender8428 lol no way 30k in 10 years. Someone will rather pay the extra 10k for a brand new one with less bell and whistles, and best of all, factory warranty. 10 years from now at 15,000 miles a year will put you at 150k miles, alot of people dont trust a ford, Chevy or dodge with that many miles, atleast with a gas engine. I have a 2005 f150 lariat 4x4 with 131k miles on the clock and I bought it used in 2011 or 2012 for 15k with 55k miles on the truck from a private owner... 6 to 7 years later. Now, it is probably worth 7 to 8k private party.
I had a 2015 XLT, trade in was $28,000. Now that 65K your talking about is sticker price. I got a 2018 Loaded to the max XLT with the FX4. Sticker price was 62K, I got it on the road for 33K, my trade difference paid for the taxes.
Real question should be what 65k will be after 84mo note
Chevy trucks just start falling apart after 5 years. Believe me ,I’ve owned 3.. Ford a much better build truck. Hands down!!
Come on guys- please review and edit. It’s not called an “FX4”, FX4 is not a stand alone model since 2014 guys. It’s just a package that includes slightly different tuned suspension, 3 skid plates, and down hill descent control (the “unique tires” and the locking diff are stand alone options you can get without the FX4) You can put the FX4 package on XLT, Lariat, King ranch, platinum, and limited. And Roman, it’s the same ride height as with out the FX4 option. When your talking about the truck having “start stop” why do you say “the 10 speed allows that?” What does the 10 speed have to do with it? Ford has had start stop since the 2015 2.7 ecoboost. And where your trying to talk to the truck and you say it doesn’t understand, then you say “you just can’t say Siri, or Alexa etc” actually you can. When you pair your phone (which is extraordinarily easy on an F150 with sync3) then you can hold the talk button for 3 seconds and that accesses Siri, or when your USB is hooked up you just touch the talk button and it’s Siri, OR you can just say “hey Siri” and you can have the system be as “ intuitive” as you phone, Because it has Apple car play and Android auto (not mentioned or shown)And without all that the Sync 3 is one of the best systems on the market for many reasons, including updates that are just done with wifi instead of programming or SD cards.
When your talking about Ford not being in the forefront of space guys please show us. Sit in the back of all the 2018’s so the GM/Chev 2018, and the Ram 2018. (The two main competitors) don’t look at the measurements, just sit in them and tell us what you think. Ford by far is the most room! Chevy’s numbers are not quite accurate because they are measuring from the end of the back seat to the back of the front seat, and they simply have a shorter seat for measurement purposes to fool guys like you. Plus look at the flat floor on the F150 that the others don’t have, way way more actual usable space in the “real world” without having to use and optional flat floor contraption that when in use looses a ton of height load room. When your talking about the models
Over and above the lariat you forgot the King Ranch also. Plus that’s a 502A package lariat. There are two lariats below that, 500A and 501A. All priced differently to suite buyers budgets. Before you say “that’s too complicated” your spending a lot of money on a truck, find a sales person that can make it non-complicated and show you why you May want a certain configuration. “That’s a lot of money for this truck” please again your talking out of your butt. You can’t compare the 2018 chev and 2018 Ram to it because at the 502A level they don’t have comparable trucks. That would be more comparable to 500A. The 2018 Ram and 2018 Chev/GMC don’t have power telescopic steering, adaptive cruise control,
Self parking, a full Glass Roof, power running boards, tailgate step, two way remote start (which you don’t even show when your struggling to start the truck) 2018 ram doesn’t have “air conditioned seats they just use cabin air they aren’t cooled just ventilated, LED Box lighting, HID headlights, Fordpass phone App (free) plus a ton more. You get a lot of value for the extra money. And if your comparing to a 2019 then yes Ram is very pricey also. And so is GM, funny your not mentioning how much the two new competitors are yet your comparing the 2018 F150 to the 2019 competition. And you still can’t get a bunch of stuff with the competition you can with the F150, like king ranch 601A, platinum, and limited you get massaging seats, and they are awesome! Plus the you would have to compare the the F150 with the cheaper 5.0 because it’s faster than the 5.7 hemi also. I’m sure that truck would have the 3.55 gears and the max trailer tow package if you look at the window stickers guys, that’s not “just under 11,000lbs” that’s 11,900 pounds. I don’t know where you got your payload numbers from but it’s not even close it’s 2030lbs with the supercrew short box 4X4, the exact configuration your driving. With max payload package and the 6.5 box it’s even much higher. Where do you come up with this info??? So much missed and wrong information yet again fellas, your going to get me to find time and do video’s aren’t you lol. I don’t have time for that guys, “pick-up” your game (pun intended) (ya I know my writing skills suck, obviously it’s not my strongest point ha ha) p.s.couple of the main things you didn’t show, one of the coolest things on the truck, how could you talk about price and not show the glass twin panel roof, not just “lane departure warning, but lane assist” the exclusive trailer park assist (which is a big deal if you are not good at backing up a trailer), plus much more. Frustrating to watch you guys. Compare a F150 that’s way less guys because like I said there are a ton of things the trucks your comparing to on price don’t even offer at any price. And don’t even get me started on all the advantages of all aluminum. Forget the commercials Chevy does against it, look at all the debunking videos against those ads. It’s lighter and never rusts, ever! Didn’t mention that. You think it costs more to fix? Yes it probably does, but insurance pays for it not you. And you know which truck made of aluminum is the safest truck in the world. Yup you guessed it, that too is the F150. (No mention of the crash test ratings) how about the huge fuel tank meaning less stops on trips. Rain sensing wipers, automatic bright beams. I could go on and on to show value for the money. How about the huge difference in resale value compared to the Ram, you get some of that difference back. Blah blah.
Yeah - I have this love hate relationship with TFL. They don't seem to really research these very well and actually name the differences, but that would involve real work. The little things are what make up the difference now, the technological creature comforts and capabilities. Yet another cringefest with misinformation and missed opportunities.
TFL has lost there game when talking about trucks. They miss a lot of things. I’ve been finding my self disliking there videos a lot as of late
Troy these guys are not fair but it doesn't matter . as long as the truth about what they don't know.
I would buy that over the 2019 competition. Love the F150! And people been reporting problems with especially with the new RAM and the center display. Wonder what 2020 will bring
The first year of the truck is all ways hard to get it right
@@843MudMafia. Ram, FCA always has trouble getting it right!!!
Ram (not dealers, FCA themselves) is already offering BIG discounts on the new 2019 Ram, they must be having trouble selling them.
@@benjaminwayneb actually Ram has a better infotainment system then Ford or GM in ease of use and reliability. It's a new product in 1 year it will be better.
Andrew Cunnison Ford got ahead a few years ago, but they just don’t realize that RAM and Chevy caught up with them.
The conundrum is that the new Ram has one interior targeted to everyone, and it is nice. It does not get downgraded/decontented based on trim level - you have to go to the Ram Classic to get a basic interior. The F-150 and Silverado make-do with basically the same interior for ALL trim levels. Ram is cheating, which is why I bought a F-150.
I purchased a 2016 FX4 Black Platinum Ecoboost Currently have 36,200 miles on the truck. No problems so far. “Knock on wood”. I love this truck. It is fun to drive and love all the options. I have the premium plus warranty which carries it to 75,000 miles. After that I hope the Tundra has updated enough to compete with the big 3 because that will be my next truck.
Absolutley LOVE my fully loaded 17 f150 lariat
So do I
Jjust replaced the transmission,radiator and waterpump. $9400
The Silverado ain’t got shit on the f150. 5.0 V8 in my 2018, cant do the eco boost
Bad infotainment review. I have Alexa, SIRI, Pandora, Waze, WIFI, and Google Maps in my 2018 F150. Learn your product before you come on camera guys 🙄🙄🙄
I like these buddy reviews. Wish you could do this with all cars you get
If you buy a 67k dollar lariat that costs the same as the King ranch and Platinum, I'm sorry to say but you're uninformed. Nicer leather at the same price with massaging seats
whiteandnerdytuba its a fully optioned out lariat. A Platinum or limited would be like $75k with the same options.
Very nice, always been a ford guy but I'll stay with my older trucks.
I'm sticking with my 05. It's cheaper to buy a house than a new truck now.
Guys I love your channel and have been a fan since I lived in CO running the same trail as you all in the front range, but do NOT compare the Ford interior to the Rebel's interior! Trucks DO NOT need giant screens in their interiors. The Rebel is a FUN truck, the f150 is a WORK truck. It is about utility and getting the job done and done right. The Rebel interior is in no way representation of where Ford need to start pointing the direction of its interiors. I don't mind updating, but big screens are a cheap cop out on true design and functionality.
Android auto works very well with nav commands
I've also have to give it to the Ford they were the first to come out with the panoramic roof the wood trim more room. They got the six engine choices pretty impressive a V6 with twin turbos that out perform the V8 by a long shot Chevy and Dodge . Chevy and Dodge finally caught up to ford it only took them about 4 years. Lol that's why Ford is the number #1 selling truck.
I love my 2018 F150 and it’s not even a Lariat.
If I was buying a new truck, it will be another F150, but it would be a Platinum or Limited. A lariat with this many options is still a lariat. You can get a Platinum with better interior for the same price.
I've got a 2018 Super Cab Lariat, Ruby Red Metallic with the sport appearance pkg and the 3.5EB. I love, love, love it. I've had it over a year now. No regrets. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Pulls our 28ft 7,000lb travel trailer like a boss, even through the Rockies where I was blowing by Ram-boys and their hemis.
2009 the bigger cab was started in 2009 those other brands have a lot of catching up to do!
Agreed. My 2014 Lariat crew cab (prior to 2015 Aluminum re-design) has a huge amount of space in back and completely flat floor with vents.
Ram currently is class leading in terms of cab space
Pretty sure Ram started it with the Mega cab back in early 2000s still biggest cabs.
I still drive my 2000 F150 XLT 4x4. 163k miles and running strong. Just changed the oil and realized im.burning about 3/4 quart somewhere... I may be looking at a new V6 model that puts out more output than my 260hp, 350 ft/lbs torque offroad demon.
So glad I got rid of my Silverado and bought a F150 almost 2 years ago. The little 2.7 babyboost outperforms my old Chevy in al ways. Towing, loaded and 0-60.. And last night it proved it can out brake the silvy by a long shot. My 2016 F150 is the best truck I ever owned.
Just plug in your phone for Android auto or carplay. I almost never use Sync 3, its good but it is nowhere close to Android auto
I am currently leasing a 2016 F150 XLT in that same color and I believe the same wheels as that one. I wish I could have afforded the Lariat but at the time I could not. The F150 does lease very well. My 2016 XLT was pretty much loaded with an MSRP of $52k but with just $2,500 down I am leasing it for $499 per month. I must say that this truck after 30k miles has been pretty trouble free. I had one incident in which the truck started missing and losing power on a trip. It did not strand me but definitely had reduced power and a miss. I took it in the next day and the dealer said the 2.7 EB had 2 spark plugs that were fouled. They replaced all 6 under warranty and so far it seems to be fine. That was about 6k miles ago. The longevity of the EB engines concern me but the power they produce sure does put a smile on my face. And the fuel mileage has been pretty good in my opinion. I have averaged (per my fuel logs) 19.6 MPG over the life of the vehicle. Probably about 70% hwy and 30% city driving with no towing. That is a lot better than the 15 or so MPG I got with my 09' RAM (5.7 HEMI). I know the new RAM probably does much better but reliability and durability on RAM is questionable at best. I will probably be looking to update in the spring and I love all of the real world reviews that you guys do. I do wish you could do more long term reliability testing but I guess that is what CR is for since they have more resources for those sorts of things. Love the format of these vids please keep it up.
Yes I wonder about the longevity as well. Also in the long run what the expense will be like to maintain those EB turbo engines.
Honorable mention to Daniel Jaeger films. His channel features a video of a 200,000 plus mile F150 Ecoboost. th-cam.com/video/7IPgxwSiUsM/w-d-xo.html
John no disrespect intended but I could never wrap my mind around leasing a vehicle. I recall a financial advisor on radio say once a lease is long term rental. It’s never yours nor are you ever payment free if you continue to lease. For example I bought a used Honda Element nearly 9 years ago $14k. I financed for 4 years and have not had any repairs until this year (starter and ignition key switch $900) I have a friend that leases and has been leasing for over a decade so he has a never ending car payment.
Joe a lease is not the right option for everyone. Like everything else in life it has advantages and disadvantages. From a purely math point of view the best way to purchase any vehicle is to pay cash. It probably also makes sense to purchase the most boring vehicle that you can tolerate. Leasing generally opens up more options to most people since usually lease payments are less than purchase payments. In essence with a lease you are financing the difference from the MSRP and the projected value at the end of the lease. For example if you lease a vehicle that has a MSRP of $50k and in 3 years it is projected to be worth $35K then you are financing $15k over 3 years. That is a simplified version but it is why some vehicles lease better than others. For example a Mercedes leases terrible because they do not hold their resale value. I am not sure that a lease will be my best option on my next vehicle purchase but I thought I would give it a try on this one. Oh and your remark was not disrespectful in the least.
Thank you John, I was afraid it would come across as insulting.
No wonder why we go through a recession every 10 years, $65k for a pickup truck? $45k would be more reasonable
Car Craze yep this is why I can only afford used... don’t ever see my self buying a new truck, Would be nice though.
Nobody is paying sticker. You can get one of these for around $55,000, which is more than fair considering what you get options wise.
I think recessions are a beautiful thing...it gives an opportunity to those of us who save for rainy days to be able to buy land, a house, things that REALLY MATTER and unlike a car, will only go up on value 😎.
Supa, Where are people getting the money to spend $55,000 dollars on a vehicle that will depreciation terribly before your even finished paying for it. I bought a new 2017 5.7 V8 for $31k out the door, I can’t imagine another $35,000 for mostly bells and whistles
Joe You seriously have to ask? Many people make lots of money, and many people are business owners and can deduct vehicle expenses. For many, $55,000 isn't a challenge. Also, trucks generally have excellent resale. A good condition F150 will still hold a lot of value even after 10 years. Most trucks will. When we sold our 07 Tundra Limited last year, it was still worth $18,000, even with 120,000 miles. That kind of money could go to a newer truck.
I expected a better 0 to 60, no that much quicker than the Dodges natural v6 plus the dodge had 4 adults.
They were also rolling onto the highway here and not doing it from a straight line. Huge difference.
@@BUILTDIESELMAFIA they were also merging onto the highway with the dodge
mrchezze84 and if u look the ramp is uphill
Looks to be in the same spot. Uphill merging.
I still think the F-150 is the best choice on the market today
Nah.
Do us all a favor and stop thinking.
65!? I would just get a stx
Do a Gold Mine Hill while you have the truck
I like the hula hoop girl rating. :)
65 grand?! All I want and need are the capabilities of the power wagon (with a hellcat engine/fully cladded underbody and spaced wheels) with a 3rd gen ram slt package
B PILLAR: The competition has not caught up to the strength of the 2015 and newer F-150 crew cab B pillar from the measurements for side impact on IIHS website. This is a topic no one discusses and to families it should be important.
2020 Ford will come up with another new truck and the others will have to follow but also taking four to five years to catch up Ford is leading in technology. Dave now come up with a new material that's stronger than steel stronger than carbon fiber and lighter than carbon fiber no it's not the aluminum military grade. That they got now it's a new material just search it on the internet I think it was on CBC
I am on track to have saved $38,000 in cash by December 1st... I plan to save more... to buy a truck outright if cash.. but these bastards keep getting more expensive...
The way that truck is equipped it might as well be a platinum. It has a lot of the standard features on the platinum.
so a cool off the cuff style with a 65 thousand dollar truck, an you couldn't press the open button on what appears to be the biggest sun roof in history,??? maybe a little more cool hipster style pre planning would help..
I would have liked to have seen that as well!
Buy it is thw correct answer.
Here is the thing about the Rebel, it is still a Dodge, 100k you better get rid of it, about to break!! The Ford will still be driving at 250k
I think i got ripped off then i got a 2020 pearl white f150 lariat fx4 3.5 ecoboost but no sun roof (i really dont mind but for the price would be nice to have ) no power steps (has the stock ones) no side step , no bed liner , no auto parking and i got it for 66k i like the truck though
Makes no sense buying a f150 ....ford does a good job with super duty just go super duty. Theirs other light duties that don't cost so much.
$68,000 dollars before taxes (7% tax = $4,760) , tag, insurance etc! How many years finance 7 years maybe 10 years? Ouch!!!
Joe I’ll stick with my 1999 ram until the wheels fall off. That in my opinion is way to much money. I’d rather get a used 2015 F150 or Ram 1500 For 1/2 or 3/4 of that price for that 2018
I agree. I bought my Chevy Avalanche new and kept it for 16 years (78,000 miles, maintained religiously). I would still have it but it had a major design flaw with engine carbon buildup among a few other issues. It got to the point it struggled towing my 4,000 lbs Airstream. I bought a new 2017 Tundra 5.7 SR5 for $31k it better last at least 25 years! 😂
How could it before more before taxes? And taxes are no not something that applies to everyone, but since we're going that far into things, the main driver of light trucks is tax benefits. Since you can deduct most light trucks, it just becomes another deductible business expense, and that includes up to 5 years of interest. Also, there about $10k-$14k in discounts typically on trucks like this. For many, whether it before or after TTL, $60-something thousand, for a truck is nothing.
Its funny how he keeps trying to knock FORD when comparing it to new trucks (which took a lot of ideas from FORD) SMH
Rene Deniz I find it funny they stopped running the “steel is best” commercials since they are all going Aluminium
@@devinbender8428 They aren't going all aluminum you idiot. Ram and GM both came out with new trycks with durable steel beds. Only Ford was stupid enough to try to make the entire bed out of pop cans and they really are as weak as the commercials showed. I have seen the beds crack and the seams rip apart first hand.
hochhaul that’s basically the only part of GM and Ram that is steel the rest is mostly aluminum.
And EVERYONE agrees aluminum truck bed in a half ton is fine. EVERY SINGLE truck I’ve ever owned and used for a work truck has had a bed liner. If you throw shit in your bed with out a liner your dumb.
Even GM engineers agreed they would never do what they did in the GM commercials with out a liner. Hence why ford came out with the rebuttal commercial. And GM never aired that fake news commercial again.
They will all be aluminum soon enough
they would all be gutless ugly ass dogs if they took ideas from ford
@@camclarke2663 face it, the others have been FOLLOWING Ford's lead... it's just a fact. The others were talking trash and making commercials about their high strength steel... fast forward to today? The others using aluminum!
I heard before why you guys don't discuss reliability, but in this "buy it or lease it" discussion it's one of the most important factors in a purchase, and too important to leave out. The new Ram has a truly next gen. Interior. There is no question about that, but the last generation Ram was consistently listed as one of the least reliable vehicles in the country by every independent group that tracks frequency of repair statistics. I really hope FCA has got their act together on the new ones, but there is no way in hell I'll bet 60k of my own money on it.
dcl97 well said 💯
Never had many issues with Ram trucks. Had many go past 200k with original motors and transmissions. Not sure what everyone is referring to? I think you'll find issues with any brand's mass produced vehicle. But overall they are all very reliable and we'll built. Just depends on how much you take care of a vehicle.
@@bellasky83 That is everyone's response when anyone calls out the reliability of a vehicle, Ram or otherwise. It's great you have had good luck with your Rams, but your personal experience is not statistically significant. They are constantly shown to have the most problems and greatest repair frequency by consumer reports, True Delta, and JD power. In fact the Ram 3500 was just ranked the least reliable new pickup for 2018, as it was for 2017. That doesn't imply you are guaranteed to have a major problem with one, but you are statistically more likely to.
@@dcl97 ding ding ding, your logic is great to see.
Wish they would've kept the same air vents in the 2021 models
Was hoping for the 5.0
The only option I care about is the v8. Ford can keep all of the trash that will break, and adds an extra 20k to the price.
1500 pounds payload what a joke put you guys and add mr truck and Ethan in the back seat and your olmost at pay load no room for tongue weight or very little lol
Why does no one ever mention that F150 has a longer bed? All every review out there says is Ford is losing the space war but their cabin is huge and RAM offers a bed that is 6'4 and I cannot close the bed with my 2007 Polaris ATV. These are "trucks" first right? Weird how no one seems to care about bed size but only an extra inch in the backseat.
Economy is booming 💣 MAGA
For that 65 Grand, I get a Raptor.
Car are so expensive...will drive my 2015 F150 until it dies...
I'm 17 and drive a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 4.8 and I have to say idk if I'd want to drive an ecoboost instead of the 5.0 I used to think the ecoboost was better because of the numbers it puts out but there's something about a v8 that just puts a smile on your face and not to mention the 5.0 is far more versatile when it comes to mods
60k for a Lariat? What dealer did you go that is a scam, I got my limited for 63k!
just sold my f150 2012 platinum so happy ! got 4runner :D
Ford 150 is the best seller out of Ford because it out sells 250 Fords or 350 Fords.
You guys are never gonna make it to Snarfs.
Probably not
They would if they chose the POI (point of interest) choice (3rd one) after saying "navigation", then say Snarfs. My 2014 works that way.
Easy answer. Because the world is full of stupid.
My friends new Phord 1 ton diesel just suffered box damage to the corner hold-downs via a ratchestrap being over tightened. Ripped the aluminum crap right apart
Keep your girl truck, I’ll keep my powerwagon
Phord
Junk
Kool story bro
TFLnow can you do a comparison between the Subaru Ascent and the Honda Pilot?
Subaru doesn't lend them cars anymore unfortunately. They had to buy the outback they have just to have one for long term reviews
These trucks are just getting way overpriced anymore.
When are you going to learn that unless you learn some very basic commands the infotainment systems are not going to understand you. If you had said "Find Point of Interest" it would have probably found what you are looking for. We all know at this point that the trucks do not have natural speech recognition and I am not sure they ever will. You always have the option with Sync 3 of holding the voice command button longer and it will use Siri or Google Assistant which does enable natural speech. So I don't really see why the auto manufacturers would spend money developing their own natural speech systems.
Other than that, great review, but it's time to grow up and move on from proving the trucks do not have natural speech recognition. We KNOW ALREADY!
I like Ram, i have my reasons, but there is alot in Fords i prefer over all others, mostly cushier ride over small road wholes, dynamic steering weight gets much heavier in speed (unlike Ram), love the keypad entry... probably more...just few i could think of quick
tallll70 Rams has ride beat with the air ride. It’s best in class and I personally rode in one model with it and it feels like a luxury sedan on the road and off-road is awesome too
Automotive Guru ik,, 2019 is best now, i've heard, but before my friends Fords would always do slightly better on small road bumps. Have to give them that. So many people say coil springs improved ride, for some reason i feel this strange road noise in 13 Ram which i though i didn't have in 06 model, but maybe it's just my wild imagination ['_']
@@tallll70 yea, I noticed that too. Also those massaging seats in the f150 can't be beat.
Mine is a 2016 and never even had a check engine light. Best truck and best color. Ruby Red. Like my 7” lifted 5.0 version.
I will never buy brand new. Not only because FORD is not making the v8 anymore but there are too many moving parts with the turbos and its damn costly to repair turbos.
I've never seen so much stupid in just 2 sentences.
OK... here's my naive input.. I'll put... "lease it" at that 65k for that truck... I just bought a 2019 Ford F-150 FX4 CREW CAB for under 40k out the door (tax, title and license) -- exact same color -- cloth with bench front of 40/20/40... 302A enhanced electronics with MAX TOW package... I love it so far, but under 500 miles so far... I am VERY HAPPY with get up and go on this motor and transmission... I also have the 3.5 liter twin turbo with 10 speed transmission...
Ford r not worth the price for a oil pump and timing problem piece of shit
This video makes this truck look cheap nowadays
Andre would like the lariat sport
I can imagine all the bitching if the V8 was discontinued.
can you guys show the automatic parking feature? Also show it try to park in a spot too small for it to see what happens
I have a 2017 F150 XLT 5.0L, 6 speed w/ and FX4 package. Sorta want to go new ram (maybe rebel?) as the interior cracks and creaks like a MF, the infotainment stuff is really behind the RAM, and air ride would be nice. I own a brewery and often find myself putting over 1500 lbs in the bed and it sags like Godzilla is using my truck as a shoe. Might just go Ram and get rid of that all together. Not sure... I really do love my truck, but the little annoyances add up. If I can deal with em, I fully expect the truck to do 300k no problem, as I have been told the coyote 6 speed is bomb-proof.
Extending the cab 4 inches is not necessarily true. We parked a 2018 next to a 2019 Ram and the outside dimensions were exactly the same. I'd suggest they all found ways to gain space with more efficient interior design.
u never mention how durable that pc of shit!!!!
