I work in a factory on the west side of Michigan that makes the interior plastics for this. It was so interesting being able to identify 2 specific parts that I have made myself! All our machines are single operator, so I had to smile when I saw the parts that I personally put together!
For that kind of money it should have a digital rearview mirror. Honestly all vehichles should have a digital rearview mirror! Put something in the bed and the standard mirror becomes useless. That and the fact most if not all suv's are like looking in a tunnel with the standard mirror. Beyond my rant, it's a helluva nice truck and thanks for all the reviews.
The one I just ordered comes with an upper camera, I can check my load in the box or when towing ..I’m excited about the massage seats like my Lincoln had..
Ya I’m buying fully loaded cause my dad passed and left me some money, otherwise theres no way. I have a 2021 Lariat now and it’s been great, but I thought I’d by a new car once for my retirement and I’ve had great luck with Fords in my 44 years in the Collision Shops
Nobody on TH-cam grinding liking you man. Love the reviews and the hustle. Hard work pays and you'll see it all pay off soon. Thanks for the content Ben
That platinum plus is like a fancy restaurant in the interior it's definitely a limited renamed. Seen one in person and man was I feeling calm in that interior. That platinum plus definitely beautiful inside and out. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
At the 2:31 mark, you can see Ben's scar from when he served as a corporal in the GDI's fight against the Brotherhood of Nod. Jokes aside, I do like the arm rest with the emblem and production number, the latter being a good detail to include.
Very nice. A question. Do you know, can you get the Platinum Plus, 2024 or 2025, with a black out package, at least exterior, so that all the chrome is blacked out, or would I have to do that somewhere after market? I love the extra luxury interior. Another question. Do you think the Tremor with its upgraded suspension for offroading would drive as smoothly on long highway drives as the P or PP with their luxury interiors, and dampening as long as I don't get the FX4 package? How about the Tremor compared to the P or PP with the FX4 package? Thanks. I want the Raptor's buttery smooth drive, and go anywhere, anytime, any kind of weather offroad and onroad capability, but that much greater width and much lower payload capacity concerns me, so the Tremor would be great. The problem is I want max luxury and the most smooth long distance highway drive I can get, assuming there is a noticeable of course, so I am really considering the P or more like PP maybe with the FX4 package or the Tremor. And likely doing a level/lift and getting 35 tires after market on whichever I choose. I just wish I could get the P or PP with the Tremor's front torsion diff. Any thoughts on these choices beyond my questions above? Oh, and do you think there would be any difference in comfort on long drives in the backseats between any of these, P, PP, Tremor or Raptor? And another, why is the payload so low on this, you said 1,387 I believe, but doing a Google search they say the F150's have a 2.400+ payload capacity? This seem even less than on the Tremor. Did they soften the springs or something for a smoother drive, costing payload capacity? Is the regular Platinum's payload capacity that low also? Other? Thanks for any insight on all of the above.
Yes, an option for people who have more than 1 person driving their cars. It’s not a new concept. If you’re the only driving it, then simple, don’t use it.
I’m waiting for the tuning, my 2020 Lariat with the 3.5l ecoboost has gotten 28mpg+ highway. I have had zero issues with the tuning, but I only tow occasionally. It is fast and fun to drive though, 0-60 in 4.9-5.0 seconds regular. A lot of gm 6.2l drivers have had to go home and dry their tears! Love the truck, over 500 horsepower, close to 650 foot pounds of torque. I just don’t know if I could part with it until the bugs are worked out of the newer trucks.
I noticed what I am going to call a blooper. When you showed the storage under the rear seat. It is obviously there for storage. BUT, how come the battery is not there? And, no place under the seat for storage? Whoops... OK correct me if I am wrong. Thanks...
I believe the PowerBoost optioned trucks don’t have the under seat inverter because the battery pack is under the bed. So you actually gain a little storage going that route.
Odd that they removed platinum appliqué/badging on the tailgate. Now there is no differentiation between the cheapest F150 and the Platinum from the rear. Cheap on the part of Ford IMO.
The pricing doesn't make sense (on Ford's part). The Lariat with the B&O sound, twin panel moon roof, etc is cheaper than this Platinum with it. The price difference is around $10k and the only other discernable difference is the 22" tires and interior fabric color. Am I missing something? Why would anyone buy this $85k when nearly the same truck with same features is $10k less?
Ford marketed the platinum Plus with the new Tail Gate, we are currently only seeing the older cheaper looking tail gate with no platinum signage on the back, Customers are turning down the trucks they have ordered, because of the lack of the new tailgate, i can see these trucks being hard to sell as they are just not complete Ford needs to do better.
As a LONG time Ford owner (since 1998), they are about to lose me as a customer due to their HORRIBLE customer service or shall I say DIS service. Still waiting on my 2024 Platinum Plus ordered early November 2023. Seems like constantly getting recalls and I need a back up truck while one of my others is in the shop. Jim Farley needs to go or step up the game for Ford quality control. It's a shame they keep raising the prices on these high end trucks and deleting luxury touches such as lighted sill plates and lighted cup holders in the front console (Such as on my '21 Limited) and now the removal of the tailgate applique. I guess greed and profit has taken over Customer Satisfaction. Wake up Ford!
Can you at least speak to the negatives of the hybrid? I noticed the tac went zero /blank on your drive back doing 32 mph. I would hate that feature and not worth $85k to be frustrated with how the power train works. Can you even get the top trim without the hybrid? If not Ford will lose lots of sales.
And for only 30 horspower less, you can get a naturally aspirated 400 HP 5.0L Imagine if the 5.0 had twin turbos, it would make a heck of a lot more horspower than the 3.5L TT
I want ford to make an absolutely bare bones truck but it comes with a bedliner just to see what the people in the comments will decide to complain about.
Get rid of the stupid metal antenna, add digital mirror, add bed liner as standard on this trim level (at least do a drop in liner sheesh). Why did they get rid of the tall screen?? Nobody is talking about that.
Of all the way overpriced vehicles sold today, pickup truck prices are the worst. I see these trucks piling up on dealers lots because the demand for close to or over $100,000 trucks is practically nonexistent.
Dude, I didn't realize how bad things have been for you. When did you become homeless? Some places will let you shave and shower. Sorry bout everything, bro.
You understand that you can buy an XL? I hate when people complain about how much top trim trucks cost. Anything top trim will be expensive. Stop acting like the luxury models are the only trucks on the market
Automatic tailgate but no bed liner😂. Jesus Christ what is this world coming to. Could you imagine actually using this hunk of shit the way a truck is really supposed to be used😖😖
I work in a factory on the west side of Michigan that makes the interior plastics for this. It was so interesting being able to identify 2 specific parts that I have made myself! All our machines are single operator, so I had to smile when I saw the parts that I personally put together!
Is it Flex n gate?
tell whoever is in charge to bring back the tailgate plaques for higher trim levels
Now i have who to blame for dem rattles and squeaks!! :D
I sleep better at night knowing I have the platinum decal in the back.
I sleep better knowing I don’t frankly
I sleep better knowing my limited badge was actually limited
Having a “Platinum” badge on a vehicle during the worst economy in 50 years is ironic 😂😂😂😂
I purchased a new 2023 Platinum BAP 2 months ago bc it has the black appliqué and dual exhaust
@@asvpabcongratulations 🍾
Definitely miss the Platinum tailgate signature.
Hmm, I just ordered the 703b version with the new gate. 4-5 months until delivery
For that kind of money it should have a digital rearview mirror. Honestly all vehichles should have a digital rearview mirror! Put something in the bed and the standard mirror becomes useless.

Looks like a plan Jane XLT from behind without the tailgate applique.... What was Ford thinking thats a deal breaker
I agree the back end does not look distinct without the appliqué.
I saw one the other day that has the new split tailgate (which looks atrocious) but it had a Platinum badging at the top of the tailgate.
Makes sense to make the Platinum trim the top of the line. Just seemed redundant to have both Limited and Platinum trims.
You and JB Reviews just reviewed the exact same F-150, and uploaded the reviews on the same day!
Lmmfao, you damn right! Buying a gotdamn pickup truck these days, you’d think you were paying monthly for a Rolls Royce.
Ya I’m buying fully loaded cause my dad passed and left me some money, otherwise theres no way.
I have a 2021 Lariat now and it’s been great, but I thought I’d by a new car once for my retirement and I’ve had great luck with Fords in my 44 years in the Collision Shops

I love it, not the biggest fan of the powerboost, I would rather have the 5.0 V8. However still considering buying it next year.
I have a 2021 platinum powerboost it's no slouch it'll beat the v8 , and I'd say it's by far the best hybrid in the market
That platinum plus is like a fancy restaurant in the interior it's definitely a limited renamed. Seen one in person and man was I feeling calm in that interior. That platinum plus definitely beautiful inside and out. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
85K with massaging seats but no bed liner??? WTH

Lol
Where’s that massive silver badge on the back? Did they do away with it, or is it an option not to have?
This vs the Ram Tungsten
Ben I agree a very popular and nice looking truck on Ford tough cool.
Liking the seats. GM needs cushier seats desperately.
FORD! The king of recalls!! 🤣🤣
Man that made me laugh so hard when I saw your comment. It's so true I never had so many recalls before in my life when I owned a F-150 it was sad.
Interesting shootout with the new Ram Tungsten when it comes to luxury?

Memory seats? All my seat needs to do is stay where it is and not move.
lol, that’s fine and all if you’re the only one driving the vehicle. Not fine when you’re 6’3” and your spouse is 5’4”.
Yes, an option for people who have more than 1 person driving their cars. It’s not a new concept. If you’re the only driving it, then simple, don’t use it.
Wow….no bed liner?!
Some people don’t want bedliners. Rather way you’re paying 1,000$ for a bedliner.
But they included wheel well liners. Ha
Make that 86 grand 😊
for sound deadening yes@@jw8578
Awesome truck review 😊 thanks a lot😊

It’s a beautiful truck and looks awesome, only bad thing is in 5 years the truck depreciation is very scary 😮..

That front looks amazing
I have a Limited, absolutely nothing different than the name plate they've given it now
No dual exhaust and no platinum appliqué on the tailgate. Ugh.
That tailgate looks pretty XL trim in my opinion.
Do they give you a platinum Colored mink coat to go with it too?
High Country rims?
Can it pull a 15 ,000 lb fishing boat

Platinum has way better seats than Lariat, and Tremor/BAP hood
@@asvpab so the extra $10k is for seats and a different looking hood. crazy.

Isn't this thing supposed to have a "Pro-Access Tailgate" that swings open?
I remember when cars only had am radio no carpet roll down window no ac an were affordable. We need to return to basic affordable prices.
Ben hardy kinda guy to buy expensive trucks
Ben, what do you think of the 2024 Toyota Tundra Platinum vs this one?
Platinum tundra you can probably get for 20k cheaper then this one
Did you see JB?
Not recently
Don’t know why but a blank back looks like a base 😅
I feel like these car reviews people get paid not to mention that the platinum and king ranch logo is missing and don't question or bother to say why

Not a fan of those wheels. Do a king ranch when you get chance . Thanks Ben!
Can it core a apple?
no be liner, no back seat ventilation, Ram 1500 limited/longhorn for similar price will be much better.
Wouldn’t pay that much money for a truck, but I will say, it looks pretty sharp.
Leader if recalls!
First thing I would do it’s to buy a camper but
I’d rather buy the platinum expedition
They should have added the 15” vertical screen
I hope the next lightning Has HUD
Isnt the Platinum just the Platinum??
Jest by your post that’s not far off some trucks cost the same
Can you at least speak to the negatives of the hybrid? I noticed the tac went zero /blank on your drive back doing 32 mph. I would hate that feature and not worth $85k to be frustrated with how the power train works. Can you even get the top trim without the hybrid? If not Ford will lose lots of sales.
Ford is basically giving the power boost option away at this point. If it’s not a wash after the powerboost credit then it’s almost free.
Need a tungsten review
And for only 30 horspower less, you can get a naturally aspirated 400 HP 5.0L
Imagine if the 5.0 had twin turbos, it would make a heck of a lot more horspower than the 3.5L TT
Hope the residual value doesn't drop like a Rolls!
85 for a limited , you pay 85 for a lariat in northern Alberta !

Hello my friend, there is no news about the Toyota Tender 2024❤🇱🇾🙏. I am following you from Libya, Abdul Rahman.
I want ford to make an absolutely bare bones truck but it comes with a bedliner just to see what the people in the comments will decide to complain about.

The tall screen like the expedition? F150 never had that. Plus you wouldn’t want it, all the buttons on a screen is a pain to use while driving.
Well the lightning does….but that’s its own thing and we’re pretending it doesn’t exist.
Its crazy to me 85k for f150 platinum or 100K for F450 platinum i know egich id rather get
Rolls Royce of trucks is still a Ford and $85K is insane.
Beautiful truck!
It’s so pretty 🤩
Beautiful truck.
I hate that ford limited the platinum plus to the powerboost only, but frankly dont really care
It’s a shame that the transmission will go out before 30k miles
The ram tungsten does a much better job at its interior than ford. This is a platinum but the interior still looks cheap
Of all the way overpriced vehicles sold today, pickup truck prices are the worst. I see these trucks piling up on dealers lots because the demand for close to or over $100,000 trucks is practically nonexistent.
Dude, I didn't realize how bad things have been for you. When did you become homeless? Some places will let you shave and shower. Sorry bout everything, bro.
nice to see they got rid of that horrid blue
Wow
100k?.....OR MORE......😮
I’ve never hated a front end more. The superduty is good, but this is just not it.
What happened to the platinum Ford logo on steering wheel. Tailgate looks cheap. $85K - Ford is on drugs.
Ford dealerships and corporate have poor customer service. I can’t do it.
2024 and they still have an exterior antenna....
85k for a truck. these people are insane. hope they sit on the lot for years
You understand that you can buy an XL? I hate when people complain about how much top trim trucks cost. Anything top trim will be expensive. Stop acting like the luxury models are the only trucks on the market
I’m personally not a fan of Bang and Olfhousen sound systems. They are very lacking compared to Bose automotive or even Harmon Kardon.
Lame😂😂😂I keep my bronco raptor ❤❤
Seats look pretty darn good, to bad the whole truck is still piece of plastic shit. They should’ve at least change that annoying ford noise/beeping.
Nice truck nice review
No it's not the Rolls Royce of anything although they surely price it that way . Not one item on that truck is hand crafted
Hobe it comes with black leather interior the grey is not my style
Comparing a ford to a rolls royce is one hell of a reach. I wosh vehicles wpuld bring the door wings back. Id pay extra ro have it
So I will rather have a nice big house that holds value than throw my money in a depreciating asset.
Id rather have both :)
