You're doing a great job, your honesty ranks high on my books.
S
Unbelievable that I never see videos like this from actual car reviewers. Glad someone is finally giving us content we actually want
Came back to edit this comment. WOW this is a far better video than I originally thought. He talks through EVERYTHING and presents extremely well. This man deserves the biggest raise for the content he is creating for Ford and this dealership
4A, Dual Climate, painted grill, push button start and soft open tailgate were the reasons I went with the Lariat. I love my truck!
Ok cool?
You guys helped me figure out what trim and engine I wanted in my f150. I live in NY. I tell everyone shopping for a ford to watch your content
I am loving my 19 Lariat. Push button, leather, keyless and vented seats are totally worth it for me.
Just bought one and same here!!
How much did you pay for it ?
@@frankyee3911 2018 lariat 3.5 eb 65k currently pushing 40k miles. About 10k miles a year not bad
Been driving Fords since I was 16.. only have had 4 vehicles, now I'm 44 .. Fords are the best!! #StayBlessed
I don't rate your opinion since you have never tried anything else.
@@philmcclenaghan7056 awesome !
Lariat all the way. I got every bell and whistle. The comfort and tech is amazing. I was a Chevy man but I splurged on a Lariat and glad I did.
Same deal here bro. Was Chevy all the way but picked up a Lariat today. That moonroof and floor transmission sold me on it.
Me to I was a Ram man.Test drove the Lariat. Had to have one.
I have a 2016 lariat and its has all the same features as this one. Kinda disappointing
Platinum is the one I got. Love it.
@@xRadio2006x floor transmission? What in the world does floor transmission mean?
You’re honesty speaks volumes and it is much appreciated.
A lot of good info from a knowledgeable salesman. Thank you
As always, I look forward to your content and am not disappointed. Good job, production crew.
This is an amazing channel! Your genuine thoughts are just so refreshing compared to the nonsense of other dealership videos. 💙
Mitchell, as always you knocked it outta the park. Excellent job giving differences of the trucks and your personal opinion is appreciated and does make a difference. Keep up the great work and videos 👍
A lightly used lariat is 100% worth it! 2018-19 Lariats are priced as low as 34k with 20k miles.
This is exactly the kind of truck I've been looking at 👍🏽 hopefully in a couple of years I can find me a newer-ish one for the same price
Where? Lol I can’t find any... XLTs EVERYWHERE, no Lariats to be found.
E
@@codyv8737 same dude, and half of these xlt's are damn near what dealers are selling them for brand new after the rebates.
@@TrashPanda2801 exactly. You get this price with 0% interest 😂🤣.
F150 should have LED lights standard. Halogen is extremely out of date
Nathan T headlightrevolution.com get some easy replace
Hell of a lot cheaper tho to fix
Absolutely agree with you. For 50,000 box it should have led light and push button.
It's not that serious
It's not just the F150, I got a 2018 300A Ford Edge Titanium and it doesn't have remote start, BLIS, or LED headlights. Ford is always locking those options away behind packages whether it be a $38,000 SUV or a $60,000 truck.
Love the content, keep it coming! I was already used to keyless entry on the Focus ST plus the wife wanted the heated and cooled seats. Ended up going with the V8 Platinum. Still love it after 6 months!
I love my 2014 5 liter F150 that I currently have logged 148,000 miles on it... when it is time for a new one it will be another 5 liter XLT F150. Thanks for the video tour, you always do a great job.
Excellent review I have a 2010F150 lariat and I could not live without my heated and cooled seats thanks for the education
“Ouu, getchu some” 😂...I love my F-150, thanks for the video!
I found your video very informative. I bought my first Ford 1962 Galaxy 500, first truck 1988 Ranger and first F150 2001 Lariat. Currently driving 2011 F150 Lariat and now waiting for the 2021 to be available. To actually compare the STX vs XLT vs Lariat plus the different options that are available for each one, I have never had a dealership do those comparisons, great job.
Perfect. Exactly the info I was looking for. I could not find a comprehensive breakdown of the nuanced differences between these models.
Pretty well thought out review. Thanks for the video.
It's interesting how pricing changes based on location. I just bought a 2020 Lariat 502 (no sun roof, no adaptive cruise, no 360 camera, no power running boards) in Ontario Canada. Price difference was only $5,000 CND for the Lariat vs XLT well kitted out. That's like $3,500 US if I were to guess on exchange rates.
just purchased a 2020 Lariat like the one in the video with % interest I absolutely love it! Its worth every penny especially the ventilated seats and auto start in the southern heat...a life saver.
Really enjoy these videos. I'm looking for a new truck and it's good information to help me make an informed decision. Thanks for making them.
We just got our 3.5 eco boost 2020 XLT sport 4x4, 6.5 bed with the payload upgraded. Sport cloth interior. Almost 900 miles on it. Loving it!
I love the lariat. Bought me a new 2019 with the 5.0L and chrome package. It’s stoke. Got a hell of a deal and it’s the nicest pickup I’ve ever owned
I have a 2018 Lariat, 2.7. I love the chrome bumper and the AM radio!
866 miles on 1 tank(36).
Thank you for the way you are showing these Ford Trucks. No Pressure and honesty on your part
Stay Safe
Basically you have to add another $125 a months for your payment over 7 years, or about $4.00 a day. on the Lariat. On a serious note, unless you want to tow, get the 2.7 litre bi turbo. I love this engine, it has tons of power, and gets about 23mpg on the highway with the 4X4 model
A buddy blew his tranny on this engine after 150,000km. How do you foresee the longevity of this engine?
I bought an 5.0 XL and love it. All the standard options on my base model where far and above my expectations. Nothing else was needed for me.
I just bought a 2019 lariat and love it!!! Love your videos!!!!
I love this channel! Currently looking for the best deal on an F-250 Platinum 4x4.
Real v8 power @2:53. Love it! Great video! I only wish the XLT had dual zone climate control as an option.
From your honesty, alone. Is why I would order, and pick my F150 up @ that dealership, in Bessemer, Alabama! Great salesmanship, is just as valuable, as the product being sold 🤝
For myself I would go with the XLT. Thanks for a great video comparison of the 2 models.
gus Paca I got a 2011 XLT and I love this truck
you make great videos. I actually purchased a Ford F150 Lariat. A lot of the videos that you have done helped make my decision. I live in Utah but maybe I should have drove out to Alabama to get one. Thanks for making these videos.
It’s worth it. I loved my 2018 Platinum, but then upgraded & traded it in for the 2018 Raptor. But I miss my massaging seats that the Platinum had.
You should check out PaxPower ( v8Raptor.com ). They take a regular F-150 (XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum) with 5.0L V8 engine and turn it into a complete Raptor...suspension, body...hood, grille, front fenders and rear bed sides, upfitter switches, decals, etc........OR.....add Raptor suspension or very expensive aftermarket Icon Raptor type suspension, Whipple Supercharger, nice lighted fender flares, widen the rear axle......and NO Raptor body parts or decals......for way less money......but much more performance than an OEM factory Raptor.....not to mention the "cool factor".....a somewhat regular looking F-150...incognito....a "wolf in sheep's clothing" that will run circles around the OEM factory Raptor on pavement and off-road.
Even though I own a limited, I do think that the Lariat is the best all around truck. You can get pretty much all of the features of the more expensive trucks without paying the higher price tag. I do prefer the look of the sport package. It’s an all around great looking vehicle.
I test drove a lariat and I was not impressed with the cheap/chintzy feeling "leather" trimmed plastic floor shifter, the leather quality was very poor, and some of the features were a bit much (the adaptive CC, lane keeping, etc). I ended up getting a "souped up" XL with $9,080 of added options. Fx4, 5.0 V8, 3.73, trailer tow package, STX and Sport appearance packages, rear camera, tech package, etc. It has the column shifter which is amazing. Why would anyone want to take up a lot of space in their center console with the shifter when you can just stick it behind the wheel and then have tons of console space? I have no idea why the floor shifter is an "upgrade". Imo it's a downgrade. Same with the "leather". The quality is terrible, it peels after a couple years (I don't even think it's full grain solid leather btw) is super expensive, etc.
I got Katzkin leather for 1k (self install) but the leather quality is much better than Fords. Why pay twice as much for shittier quality leather? Easy I guess? I added a stubby radio antenna (very short) for 27.81, I got a keypad entry code thing for 67.15 (funny enough, it's only like $45 to add factory), a Tyger T3 bed cover for $259.00, LED fogs for $56.99, and an AC power inverter (to charge tools and 110-120 wall outlet items). Oh and the Ford T plate tie down things for the bed (12.99 for 4) and bedrail retractable hooks (4 very high quality solid stainless steel for $45). All that stuff is so much cheaper than getting it from the factory (except the pin pad is 20 bucks extra) and most of it is higher quality, too. Very quick and easy installs.
The only thing I wish I had was the push button start, that can't really be added, and I miss it (had it in my other car). But, that's not worth 10-20k more just for that one feature. Most of that crap I don't need or want. The sensors would be ok, but I don't really need them. The lane keeping crap I have on another car and f***** hate it. Got the factory camera option which was desperately needed for driving this boat for only 250. The 40/console/40 is amazing. Huge and spacious, so much room to throw tools, phone, drinks, whatever there. Console/steering column shifter is the best. The sport cloth was pretty nice, but the Katzkin is amazing.
And what's great about the XL is the floors are that vinyl/rubber material so cleaning is out is a breeze. Fantastic truck. My lugs were those crappy ford factory ones that got all bloated and wouldn't work with the right size bar anymore so I tore them off and added Gorilla lugs off ebay for I think $50. A couple of forscan tweaks and good to go.
I guess my advice would be: DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Figure out what features you really want, and what you don't really care about. Figure out what can be easily added and what is a pain/nearly impossible to add (like push to start). Underbuy if you can easily upgrade. The aftermarket parts are often times much better quality. Fords spray in liner costs the same as Linex, but linex is way better. My $259 T3 bed cover is fantastic, why pay a thousand? The XL and the XLT are going to be your best deal by far. Get the appearance packages you want because you can't feasibly change out your bumper/paint/etc. I'm VERY happy with my truck.
@@user-nh3gu1ge3d good gosh no need to tell your whole life story in a yt comment lol
@@Chris-bz9pg lmao fair enough
Appreciate your very informative review and honest opinion. I have been trying to weigh the options on both models to see which I would rather go with and you made some good points. I will probably go with the XLT and add the Roush package to it 😎 Thanks!
Respect for your option. Lariat all the way though, I drove both and there's a massive difference
You is one of the goats of everything i ever seen on etsy and yotube for making stuff from the 90s generation. This deserves millions of views
I will confirm, I got my factory ordered 2020 lariat back in Jan w/502 luxury package, V8. Totally worth the upgrades.
your channel is an absolute gem.
Had a '13 FX4 with HID's so HAD TO HAVE the LED headlights when shopping for a '19. Lariat w/ 502A and all the goodies is what i chose. Absolutely love my new '19 F150!
I’ll keep you guys in mind when I’m shopping for an F150 (Austin TX here). You do a great job each and every time
🙏🏻👊🏻
Just bought a 2020 xlt with some added features in Austin TX.
Ya I agree with you I bought a 2018 xlt last year about this time it has everything i wanted with the 2.7 it makes a great little truck for running around the farm
Just bought me a 2019 ford f150 lariat, everything he says in here is very true, im definitely happy with my purchase
Thank you for this real world, straight up explanation.
Love the channel Mitchell. Would love to see you review a King Ranch. Don’t see em out on the roads very often.
Totally worth it.. bought a 2019 Lariat last year and LOVE the truck. Power windows, keyless entry, leather, tailgate step, etc.. grew up a GM guy, and I'm now a Ford convert. Buy it at the end of the month, and the dealer will get you an even better deal to hit their quota!
I always like your videos.....very informative! I guess I'm really old school as I still like chrome. I wish I lived back in the 50's with huge cars with chrome.
I'm retiring now and just bought a slightly used (18,000 miles) 2020 Lariat 4x4 with the 3.5L V6 Ecoboost. The truck is a joy to drive and I love it. I also bought a house with cash and a 22-foot Airstream trailer. Leaving LA and never looking back. Upper Peninsula of Michigan here I come!
Just started selling new Fords. These videos are clutch, bro. Thanks!
I love my 2018 FX4 Lariat 502A. The 20" wheels gives such a nice ride quality. I noticed the later models do not have 20". My Costco pricing was about $53k (plus taxes, DMV, etc.) in 2018. I just finished the lease this past August and financing it at $40k. I was surprised it Blue Booked at $51k.
I'm still finding little features that I didn't know it has, such as I just learned it has BMS and a AGM 800 CCA battery.
Also, the grill fins fold closed on a cold start, so the engine warms quicker . I learned later (back in 2018) that year, that the steering wheel is heated, which was startling at first, but came to enjoy in the colder months. To bad, my sales guy didn't know all the details, such as you do.
The Auto Stop/Start feature (is the only thing that I hate about it), I learned just as I pulled out from the dealer and came to the first stop light. I thought the truck stalled. I pushed the ignition button to restart the truck and got some momentary confusion, until it dawned on me that it has this feature and figured out the Auto Stop/Start off/on button on the dash above the Sync screen.
It does not have the 360 camera and front sensors, which I wished it had, and I don't like the chrome trim. Why would Ford put chrome on a FX package? It's a Magma Red with a tannish lower trim (Ford calls it gold) two tone. The Magna Red sometimes look black and sometimes look like a Dr. Pepper color depending on the lighting (e.g. Sun light). I really like this color scheme, so I over looked and accepted the chrome details.
All in all, great ride quality!
I got FORSCAN to do some little extra features, such as the mirrors fold when I exit and arm the alarm.
Great explanation between the models. Thank you
Just got a 2016 f150 lariat and I’m in love 😍😍 by the way I love how he said “oh well I don’t want the truck controlling me” so funny!!! 😂
You forgot to mention the huge (in my opinion anyway) upgrade in the instruments by going to the Lariat.
fair however infotainment.com sells the lariat clusters for xlt and lower trims
Thank you so much sir, wish you were local here!
Hey this channel is awesome, haters gonna hate! I appreciate the work that goes into these videos. Keep em coming!
Such a great video. Great job explaining, bro. Thank you 🙏
Very informative video. Best one I’ve seen.
The lariat has all the right upgrades, the B&O sound, push button, leather, LED headlights, nicer touch on the dash, nicer/bigger electronic dash display .. I thought it was worth the money, got a factory ordered 2020 Lariat, really love the truck, to be honest you can’t go wrong with an F150.
I went through this a few weeks ago and went with a 2019 XLT with the 302A package the rebates made a huge difference
Happy 4 U, I'm calling them today to help me find a 2012, cab & a half , 4by4, X L T, 1 owner, no accidents in mint condition! I've done tons of research & there informitive salesmen& lack of pressure sold me on buying from them, rather then buying direct! I will fly there from Mexico & drive it to my new half acre of land I just bought in the Florida Panhandle! I'm a TOYOTA man but I can buy the 2012 4by4, XLT & still have like an extra $3000 left over to put in front airlockers, Leer Cap, steeel bumper plus add some awesome lights for the same price of the TOYOTA TACOMA OR TUNDRA! IT'S a no brainer for me! Good luck with that beautiful new truck you just bought! Blessings
Some great information. Thank you for the comparison.
I have a ‘19 XLT. My decision was exactly related to what you explained. The 9K difference was too much to justify for me. If incentives would have been equal I would 100% have gone with the Lariat. With that said I do love the Lariat and wish I had the vent seats.
Two years later, would you recommend getting an XLT? I’m looking into getting one
@@zachvinson1072 I no longer have that truck. I have nothing negative to say about it but could not give you a good 2 year review. Have a great one bro.
@@pierrep2649 thanks man
I have a Black 2018 Lariat with the SA package... Its everything I ever wanted and (to me) the most beautiful truck. Black LED Headlight, the nicest front grille. Love my F150
I have a 2016 2.7L XLT Sport. Absolutely love the truck! I will own it for a long time after it’s paid off!
Thank you Mitchell...theses are so helpful
Great video I shared it with my brother in law who is looking at 150s he can't decide between XLT or Lariat thanks again
I'm on my second Lariat and oh boy what a huge difference ( I owed 2016 F150 XLT)
I have a 2015 XLT F150 and I absolutely love it. It’s got some features and it looks absolutely stunning. I have a black Supercab with black leather interior heated seats backup camera chrome accents a V8. But the only thing I don’t have is eco boost but eh. I still love it
Great content you’re vids never disappoint
Really good info good job man!
I can't wait for the 2021 F150 . . .the improvements are outstanding!!!
Recently bought a 2011 f150 with a 5.0 under 100.000 miles and love it. Sony sound system. Spray in liner tonneau cover. Wife loves the sunroof
Hey, great review! I'm no where close to Alabama, but if I were, I'd be buying my next truck from you.
2020 F-150 Lariat is the most beautiful truck I’ve ever bought
@Brian Waller maybe he paid cash. 🤷♂️
Brian Waller some people aren’t poor like you 😂😂
Thank u very much this video!!!
This vehicle my dream car! I afraid I never be one, in my country we havent got too much just some one and them two times expensive here.
But I would like the expensive one or the king ranch in the future. Maybe...
Thanks this video is nice to see it and nice to know all about this truck!
I cannot wait till you do this for the XL vs XLT on the 2021 F-150
This guy is amazing, nice presentation
Great pitch, loved your content on comparison
Thank you. Very helpful.
Please do a Lariat & King Ranch comparison. Those are the models I am considering.
I just got into a ‘19 Lariat FX4 (502A with moon roof, power running boards, etc.) from a ‘17 XLT Sport (302A) and it’s totally worth it. Completely refined experience when compared to the XLT. I loved my XLT, even upgraded to leather seats, but there’s no comparison.
Frankie from GTOWN I went from a 2015 501A to a 2019 502A with deployable running boards. Love the half dozen extras.
Nice presentation! Also, see that you've been enjoying your groceries! Ha!
Great review Mitchell! I wish I could have gotten power mirrors on my XLT! I really like that option!!!
you can add them after the fact
I purchased a 2020 F150 XLT Sport with the V8, I love it. I wish it had the LED head lights, I will upgrade later, good job on the video
Just bought a 2019 Lariat last Tuesday. Got $10k off the MSRP. Time to buy!
Shetler Corley in Crowley LA.
How much you pay after 10k off the msrp
Great videos, out in California it is really difficult if not impossible to find a knowledgeable Ford salesperson if you are in the truck market.
I love this guy!!
Wish my salesman was like him
great videos and so glad I found them.
Great video. Very informative.
Those ventilated seats are awesome. That is probably the only thing I would consider paying extra for.
Also if you're carrying passengers. We got it for the vented seats & dual zone climate control.
I test drove a 2019 xlt 4 wheel drive 5.0 that had the column shifter which I actually like.
The 5.0L V8 would be a better engine choice instead of any V6. Check out PaxPower (Paxpower.com or V8Raptor.com) for upgrades to a F-150 truck. PaxPower can and does install OEM factory Raptor suspension or higher better quality Icon suspension to a regular F-150 for about $7,000.00. Moreover, you can add a Whipple Supercharger to the 5.0L V8 engine. Then....you would have a F-150 with better than Raptor performance...both on pavement and off-road.....a truck incognito...a "wolf in sheep's clothing"......way more cool than a OEM factory Raptor.
not being a bad salesman you hit it some people will buy the xlt for the savings but as soon as they look up and see a lariat ,kr, platinum or limited they'll kick themselves i do it all the time and i love my'12 lariat and i forgot to mention the absolute beast THE RAPTOR enjoy the videos keep up the good work very informative
Great content! Solid presentation of features and how they translate into price difference. My question is why does the automotive industry not understand that when an item simultaneously has 4 plus different prices, it makes it impossible to trust any of the prices?
Another awesome F150 video!
Thanks you for this very informative video
Thank you for the great information!
At the end, you mentioned that ventilated seats and the push button start as the big differences. I would add that the 4A is a big reason why people go with Lariat. I don’t have the numbers to back it up, but I also think they hold their resale value better. I love my Lariat.
Thanks for sharing Big guy ! Although I've one question if you or anyone on this forum can explain what's the purpose of front/rear differential locking system ?
