I enjoyed the heck outta this. I also would’ve stuck with stock wheels and maybe a bimodal exhaust instead. But the owner obviously likes it and that’s awesome.
Short exhaust is partly the reason for the loud level exhaust. Simply running that out behind the axle would drop that tone considerably. I know when i had the duals on my '81 C10 dumping in front of each rear wheel, i could drive through a multilevel parking structure, and set off car alarms simply by driving in 1st gear around 2200-2500 RPM. Yeah, we were all young & dumb at some point in our lives, lol!
I'm glad you didn't pass on bringing up those horrible rims and tires. You were still very Canadian about it, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but damn if anything stance on a fairly regular pickup is a hideous trend I can't wait for the death of.
Yeah It was like everything I dont care for in a wheel/tire combo mashed together. Super stretched rubberband tires on tacky rims with a mile of poke. To each his own I guess.
@@brianbrians3157 Oh man, that's neither rubberbands or a mile of poke. I used to be pretty into the lifted truck scene (until I sold mine for something newer and nicer), and knew a guy that had a set of 26X16 wheels with 2 inch spacers on a GMC 1500 Denali. Said 26s were also wrapped in 35 inch tires. I have seen guys running 33s on 26s, that's getting into rubber bands.
Every time I see a truck with those kinds of awful extra wide rims on them it looks to me like the truck was stepped on, and the bottom spread out. Looks terrible.
They probably put the drain plug behind the sway bar on purpose to prevent quick change oil change guys from using tools on the plug and breaking the plastic pan

Why purchase a 4 wheel drive truck when you're going to install a set of ghetto wheels and tires with little to no sidewalls? A real Canadian. If he's having issues with paint adhesion from rock chips, get paint protection film installed from the body line down. As for a brand new truck with runs in the paint. Did he look at the truck when it was purchased? A warranty on any vehicle stops at the property line of the dealership. As soon as it's off their lot, the champagne corks get popped and you've become the latest "Sucker" to believe the manufacturer is going to stand behind the vehicle.
Great review Rich, my 2020 crew cab coyote is packing a Gen5 whipple. The coyote loves boost. As far as the AC drain, FORD sells a rubber elbow that you put on the drain tab and it will shoot straight down. I was a die hard GM truck guy but after owning 3 aluminum F150’s there’s a reason it’s the best selling pickup here in the states. Love the channel, you’re the man!
I am 100% with you on that one. Wheels and exhaust must go. I just bought a new Silverado and opted for the single exhaust, the duel pipes sound nice but will drive me nuts on a long road.
I previous owned the 2018 f150 Lariat 5L coyote I put 200km on it before I traded it in for an F350 I will say this my f-150 always ran great but also sucked up 1.5liters of oil for every 5000km +/- I would buy another one for sure hopefully the latest gen don't burn oil like my 18 did Thanks for posting guys!
This is a great way to test vehicles......keep it up. This should expose problems that trucks may have. Really like the idea of the oil analysis....thought you were going to have more trouble getting oil in the container (I'm getting old and have more trouble than that at the doctor's office - LOL!)
I bought a 2019 5.0 new and had multiple problems with the trans shifting poorly and popping up codes and the auto start stop coming on mid drive and the idle would jump around 500 rpm very strange and too add it only had 25k miles on it and I started seeing problems at 15k miles .. I ended up trading it in on a tundra (2019) .. best decision I’ve ever made
Ya, those stretched tires don't do it for me... Actually, in Manitoba, those tires sticking out past the fenders would get you a ticket in short order. Nice truck otherwise.

Oh come on you got to say something about those cotton-picking balloon tires why it's not a freaking lowrider. Nothing against them just isn't right 🥺🤔
Wheels and tires look horrible in my opinion, the 5.0 is one of the loudest during startup by the valve train. Ford needs to make a 4 traditional door super cab also.
Couldn’t agree with you more on the wheels and exhaust, completely ruin the truck. It’s also illegal to have wheels extend out past fenders and I wish cops would ticket all the millennials that think this is a cool look!
The wheel extending past the body is illegal as a truck driver I found the exact regulation when swapping the steer tires on my kenworth t800 from a 11r22.5 to a 315 80r 22.5 their is a fender extension that is required to be legal.
Only issue I've seen with these, the oil pan leaks, I think there may be a recall to get it fixed, and that might be the plastic oil pan Ecoboost, but in my experience all the plastic oil pans leak, from the 6.7's al the way down to the v6's. Watch out and be careful of that, also if you own one it's a good idea to get the plastic replacement drain plugs, that gasket and plastic always get weak.
@@ryanolep1078 the oil itself will hold up just fine, but the amount of particulate that ends up in the oil is going to be nearly the same with whatever type you use.
I've got an older version of the truck, and have always gone by the dash indicator, and the oil analysis from Blackstone has several times confirmed it was legit. Typically the truck asked for it every 10k miles, and based on what was sent in, the lab said I could push it out to 12 safely, so I figured continuing to do it when the truck asks for it left me safe with a 20% margin for error.
I agree. I work in a GM dealership, and have found that customers who go by the oil life monitor, are the ones who have timing chain and oil consumption issues.
The message to change the oil is at a set time, I had the oil changed last yr in November, and now exactly a yr later it has come back saying to change it. I have only drove 1,568 mi since the change last yr
I agree with a couple comments I have seen. At least for trucks, a mid range tow test. Also, love to see a comparison between the 5.0 and 3.5 Econoost. My buddy loves his but he’s already had to replace warped manifolds on a completely stock truck which are apparently a pretty common problems. Also had to have the valve body worked on in the 10 speed for flare shifting. It’s a daily driver, never been off road and only ever towed a 14 foot trailer with a UTV on it a few times.
Considering you looked to be driving rural & main highways for the trip, i must say i'm very surprised with the mileage you achieved with this truck Rich. I'm averaging 17.4mpg in my '03 Ram 3500 6 spd 4WD quadcab, with 516K kms on the odometer.
@working_country ___ I've always considered 300 000 km the ending stage's of a vehicle, just what I've seen but I drive gas sedans not trucks lol, but that is insane
@@Paul2.4T Depends where its from though. 300k km is impressive for anything that had to deal with Canadian winters, but not so much something that spent its time in California or Arizona. (vehicles from dry southern/western states last forever comparatively speaking)
I’ve owned 4 exoboost f150’s… 2017 and up are absolute pieces of shit… 10 speed sucks and cam phasers fuck up non stop. Moved down to a 16 3.5 and it’s solid. The 3.5 ecoboost east the 5.0’s for breakfast
@working_country ___ tell that to the guys that tow and have 180-200,000 mi on their 3.5’s without “blowing turbos”, don’t believe everything you read, on the internet
My oldest boy had 2021 f150. It spent more time in the dealership for recall issues and the dashboard going dead.... traded it off for a '13 duramax. Issues resolved
I curse the guy who thought it was a good idea to put the drain plug directly in front of the sway bar. After making a mess of my driveway the first time, I fashioned a funnel out of an old washer fluid bottle that goes between the bar and the pan.
A lot of shops use vacuum oil removal systems these days. If you are interested in fabricobbling one together Chris Notap has a video on how to build one.
My 2020 loaded lariat is burning oil like crazy. Ford has had my truck since 6/14/22 and is going to replace the engine under warranty. Sounds great. Problem is they still have no idea when the engine is coming. I’m trading it in for a 3.5.
I believe there should be a correction at 9:52. Ford took away their manual transmission options from the F150 around 2011, and their base transmission (with the base 3.3 Duratec) was the 6 speed automatic.
@@madflyer1093 yup, NA gettin' screwed over with lack of manual options. There are a few still making that option available (top of my head, Hyundai Elantra N model) but since 2018, it's impossible to order a new truck with the fun stick option, and that's a good part of the reason i'll keep my daily going for many more years to come.
Agreed get rid of those wheels, tires and exhaust ha! probably get better fuel mileage too. Probably the best gas engine you can still get for the F150.
I own 2015 2.7 Ecoboost with 315000K. One turbo blow off valve replacement under warranty. Wiper transmission and alternator replaced after warranty. Only other maintenance has been oil changed brakes and tires. Mileage has been 11l/100km. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. Aluminum body still looks great.
My 2019 5.0 10 speed f150 had the trans pan crack and cause it to overheat sporadically. Also had the ac start draining in the passenger front floorboard. Both issues happened around 75k miles.
The tires too wide for the truck looks cool, but it’s not good for your body panels will peel the paint right off the body. He said he had the lower panels of the truck painted.
Fords do definitely have a stiffer ride than GM. I wouldn’t say my F150 ride is necessarily bad it’s just different than my GMC was, and there are definitely more vibrations.
If I had a truck for only two years I wouldnt expect anything to be wrong at that point. I mean i have a 2007 f150 with only the basic work done. Brakes,rotors, fluids... ex. And 150000 miles on it and still no major issues. That's the kind of quality I expect so I hear about issues on newer F150s and think to myself I'll just stick to 11th gen and older
Quiet in my diet.... I'm 62 and travel on a motorcycle. I hear people say, "loud exhaust systems are the secret to safety". This of course has nothing to do with your truck, but I'll get to my point soon enough. I've been riding street motorcycles for 43 years without an accident, that's because of lighting, not noise. When it comes to putting a lot of miles in your rear view mirror, and this includes those four wheeled beasts, you don't want to ear blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for ten hours. Neither do other motorists. My motorcycle, a Yamaha FJR1300a, super sport touring bike, and me with a half helmet, is so quiet that going down the road at 55, and the windshield up, is nearly as quiet as my car at the same speed with a couple of windows cracked open. Believe me it's well enjoyed too. I've ridden 952 miles in a day, or about 18 hours. Quiet is what I want in my diet, and it reduces fatigue.
When you drain the oil, rotate the plug until it releases and then pull it back just far enough to get flow. You can set there and hold it for the entire time your draining it or I've seen guys cut a small piece of pvc pipe that fits over the drain plug just long enough to butt up against the trans cooler and hold the drain plug at the perfect position for a controllable drain. It is a little inconvenient but it beats splattering oil all over the trans cooler and the ground.
That's funny, that's the same type of oil I use in mine, but I never let mine get over 3k miles before changing it, I don't believe that garbage about changing it every 9/10k, that's just BS that lazy/cheap people want to believe, lol.
Had a New 2018 5.0 and the 10R80 trans was definitely a big gripe. Hesitant shifting, hard shifting, can’t tell you how many times I called the dealer to have them diag it. Flashed the tcu TWICE, and it would still go back. Loved it other than the trans.
I love the 10R80 in my 18 5L. Silky smooth, and responsive as a straight up mofo. Willing to downshift in ways I've not seen before in an auto tranny, but at the same time in a way that's less annoying when talking gear hunting than it is with most 6 speed auto vehicles. It's really quite impressive. I was looking at a L87/10L80 truck, but the transmission performance compared to 5L/10R80 killed it for me. Leave it GM to tune a truck with 10 gears, and not want to use them, but instead try, and force the engine to lug it's way up to speed. Crazy how different these two transmissions which are identical other than the tune and bell house pattern actually feel.
This is their fix now, their original fix was to replace the engine. Mine was swapped out at 27000 km and I brought it back with the same issue with 80000 km.
I would have liked a moderate towing test. Maybe a 4K load on a 2K trailer. Something common that most would tow. How the truck handles the weight, Sway, shifting in the powerband.
My two cents- on your fun car go for it with the aftermarket exhaust and the fancy wheels but if it's your daily just make it quiet, smooth and comfortable.
I'm getting to that age where the daily driver daydream is a luxury SUV where I sit in the back seat. No more wheel/tire/exhaust mods for me on something I drive every day
2020 5.0, 3.55 rear end with 22k miles. Flawless so far. Only thing I wish I had was the 3.73 gearing. I tend to lock out 10th gear in the TX hill country to keep it closer to the power band. Lugs or downshifts a lot in 10th unless I’m on perfectly flat roads.
That is exactly the reason I still have my 2012 f350 with the gas option, extended cab 8 ft box. It's extremely hard to find a non diesel/Ecoboost. naturally aspirated engine with a ft 8 box
Rich, it would also be interesting to hear your opinion on some of the older vehicles out there that you see foe sale everywhere at all the discount car lots. Like the 2000-13 Chevy Tahoe, Dodge Caliber, 2010ish Ford Explorer... There's a TON of them out there for sale, but are any of them worth a damn...
I had a 19 ram 1500 limited and never had a issue. Tires were measured at very close to new after 23k miles even. I have a trx now same thing. 11k mikes , march will be 2 years with it. Absolutely love that truck ! We have had ram 5500s since 11 with Cummins we trade em in every 5 years other then normal maintenance and tires never a issue and I currently on number 7 and 8 with them. The only trucks that ever given us issues is the Nissan NV25/3500 van and a 06 f550 we had back in the day with a 6.0. She had 3 different turbos during ownership.

516k?!?! Rock on!!! Hope she never dies, that's badass
@working_country ___ I've always considered 300 000 km the ending stage's of a vehicle, just what I've seen but I drive gas sedans not trucks lol, but that is insane
@@Paul2.4T Depends where its from though. 300k km is impressive for anything that had to deal with Canadian winters, but not so much something that spent its time in California or Arizona. (vehicles from dry southern/western states last forever comparatively speaking)
I’m with you. Nice truck, but personally those tires and wheels are atrocious and he should be ashamed of himself.
I’ve owned 4 exoboost f150’s… 2017 and up are absolute pieces of shit… 10 speed sucks and cam phasers fuck up non stop. Moved down to a 16 3.5 and it’s solid. The 3.5 ecoboost east the 5.0’s for breakfast
@working_country ___ tell that to the guys that tow and have 180-200,000 mi on their 3.5’s without “blowing turbos”, don’t believe everything you read, on the internet
Did you check the window was 100% up? Most of the time that's what wind noise near the door turns out to be.
Not only are those wheels FUGLY as hell they cause a vibration .. .wtf this owner 16y.o. or what ????
My oldest boy had 2021 f150. It spent more time in the dealership for recall issues and the dashboard going dead.... traded it off for a '13 duramax. Issues resolved
Those wheels and tires are atrocious
I curse the guy who thought it was a good idea to put the drain plug directly in front of the sway bar. After making a mess of my driveway the first time, I fashioned a funnel out of an old washer fluid bottle that goes between the bar and the pan.
A lot of shops use vacuum oil removal systems these days. If you are interested in fabricobbling one together Chris Notap has a video on how to build one.
He must be kidding when he says you can get 500 horsepower with just a tune.
My 2020 loaded lariat is burning oil like crazy. Ford has had my truck since 6/14/22 and is going to replace the engine under warranty. Sounds great. Problem is they still have no idea when the engine is coming. I’m trading it in for a 3.5.
I would like to see a review on the same rig but with the 3.5 ecoboost motor
I'm willing to bet the clear coat issue is due to the awful offset wheels 😂
I believe there should be a correction at 9:52. Ford took away their manual transmission options from the F150 around 2011, and their base transmission (with the base 3.3 Duratec) was the 6 speed automatic.
Last manual was in '08
@@AK_Ray sad sad times!!
@@AK_Ray in north america, still an option in south america
@@madflyer1093 yup, NA gettin' screwed over with lack of manual options. There are a few still making that option available (top of my head, Hyundai Elantra N model) but since 2018, it's impossible to order a new truck with the fun stick option, and that's a good part of the reason i'll keep my daily going for many more years to come.
@@madflyer1093 Got a source? I can't find any information indicating that.
Agreed get rid of those wheels, tires and exhaust ha! probably get better fuel mileage too. Probably the best gas engine you can still get for the F150.
I own 2015 2.7 Ecoboost with 315000K. One turbo blow off valve replacement under warranty. Wiper transmission and alternator replaced after warranty. Only other maintenance has been oil changed brakes and tires. Mileage has been 11l/100km. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. Aluminum body still looks great.
Wheels + tires go with the hoonigan hat. Yikes.
I only drive Silverados, but I would maybe drive a Ford after watching this review.
👏
I bought a brand new 2020 F-150 with the 5.0 in 2020. I have had NO problems EXCEPT, I’m noticing about 1-2 qt of oil loss at 3.000 miles.
Wow
My 2019 5.0 10 speed f150 had the trans pan crack and cause it to overheat sporadically. Also had the ac start draining in the passenger front floorboard. Both issues happened around 75k miles.
Got a 2014 5.0. Almost at 160,000 and I haven't even done the spark plugs yet 😂
I don't know why people go for that wheel too wide for the tire look.
The tires too wide for the truck looks cool, but it’s not good for your body panels will peel the paint right off the body. He said he had the lower panels of the truck painted.
There was still a manual transmission option in 2020 for the F150??? I thought that was dropped long ago.
A vehicle left stock should have exactly zero issues after only 2 years.
Those rims and tires REALLY SUCK you nailed it!!!
Chrome wheels are disgusting! Lol I’d rather have black steelies over that!! 😂
Check that truck after 10 years
I have a Red 2020 XLT too except mines a crew cab and a 3.5, Powers great, tows awesome. Happily buy the truck again.
Glad you had a chance to review it before he Carolina squat it
What's with doing rims out of the gaurds? Looks pretty silly, given his lowered c10 is tucked.
I own a 20 F150. Love the 2.7 with 50,000. miles. I’ve done nothing to it. Nothing except regular maintenance!
Fords do definitely have a stiffer ride than GM. I wouldn’t say my F150 ride is necessarily bad it’s just different than my GMC was, and there are definitely more vibrations.
If I had a truck for only two years I wouldnt expect anything to be wrong at that point. I mean i have a 2007 f150 with only the basic work done. Brakes,rotors, fluids... ex. And 150000 miles on it and still no major issues. That's the kind of quality I expect so I hear about issues on newer F150s and think to myself I'll just stick to 11th gen and older
Im a ford man but wiill never own any 2004-10 f150 due to 5.4 3v failures.
That’s not a lot of miles.
@@DefinitelyNotMyRealName not at all
Quiet in my diet.... I'm 62 and travel on a motorcycle. I hear people say, "loud exhaust systems are the secret to safety". This of course has nothing to do with your truck, but I'll get to my point soon enough. I've been riding street motorcycles for 43 years without an accident, that's because of lighting, not noise. When it comes to putting a lot of miles in your rear view mirror, and this includes those four wheeled beasts, you don't want to ear blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for ten hours. Neither do other motorists. My motorcycle, a Yamaha FJR1300a, super sport touring bike, and me with a half helmet, is so quiet that going down the road at 55, and the windshield up, is nearly as quiet as my car at the same speed with a couple of windows cracked open. Believe me it's well enjoyed too. I've ridden 952 miles in a day, or about 18 hours. Quiet is what I want in my diet, and it reduces fatigue.
When you drain the oil, rotate the plug until it releases and then pull it back just far enough to get flow. You can set there and hold it for the entire time your draining it or I've seen guys cut a small piece of pvc pipe that fits over the drain plug just long enough to butt up against the trans cooler and hold the drain plug at the perfect position for a controllable drain. It is a little inconvenient but it beats splattering oil all over the trans cooler and the ground.
Ford replaced the 5.0 in my 2018 last year because of excessive oil consumption.
That's funny, that's the same type of oil I use in mine, but I never let mine get over 3k miles before changing it, I don't believe that garbage about changing it every 9/10k, that's just BS that lazy/cheap people want to believe, lol.
He said off camera it was between 5-8k km
Love my 2.7 , thing is a rocket & bulletproof
Had a New 2018 5.0 and the 10R80 trans was definitely a big gripe. Hesitant shifting, hard shifting, can’t tell you how many times I called the dealer to have them diag it. Flashed the tcu TWICE, and it would still go back. Loved it other than the trans.
did you sell it because of the issues?
I love the 10R80 in my 18 5L. Silky smooth, and responsive as a straight up mofo. Willing to downshift in ways I've not seen before in an auto tranny, but at the same time in a way that's less annoying when talking gear hunting than it is with most 6 speed auto vehicles. It's really quite impressive. I was looking at a L87/10L80 truck, but the transmission performance compared to 5L/10R80 killed it for me. Leave it GM to tune a truck with 10 gears, and not want to use them, but instead try, and force the engine to lug it's way up to speed. Crazy how different these two transmissions which are identical other than the tune and bell house pattern actually feel.
I have a 2018 and it had the oil consumption issue. Fords fix was a tsb update and a longer dip stick. Other than that I haven't had any major issues.
A longer dipstick seems like a complete and utter nonsense to me
Sounds like an accounting and legal department fix
That's the most college fix I've heard. Hilarious.
This is their fix now, their original fix was to replace the engine. Mine was swapped out at 27000 km and I brought it back with the same issue with 80000 km.
I heard they also reflash the PCM. They say there is too much vacuum on decel and it sucks the oil through the PCV.
Nice fucken wheels..😂
I would have liked a moderate towing test. Maybe a 4K load on a 2K trailer. Something common that most would tow. How the truck handles the weight, Sway, shifting in the powerband.
"we have a harsh climate"..... Ha. From Winnipeg.
You’re not too old, I’m 25 and absolutely into quiet exhausts and small steelies w/ meaty tyres 😅
My two cents- on your fun car go for it with the aftermarket exhaust and the fancy wheels but if it's your daily just make it quiet, smooth and comfortable.
I'm getting to that age where the daily driver daydream is a luxury SUV where I sit in the back seat. No more wheel/tire/exhaust mods for me on something I drive every day
Those rims are uber gay
try 90 degrees Celsius if you go west a bit, less rust though
2020 5.0, 3.55 rear end with 22k miles. Flawless so far. Only thing I wish I had was the 3.73 gearing. I tend to lock out 10th gear in the TX hill country to keep it closer to the power band. Lugs or downshifts a lot in 10th unless I’m on perfectly flat roads.
I’m not a Ford guy but respect for an extended cab V8. So tired of ecoboost full 4 doors with a short bed.
That is exactly the reason I still have my 2012 f350 with the gas option, extended cab 8 ft box.
It's extremely hard to find a non diesel/Ecoboost. naturally aspirated engine with a ft 8 box
Rich, it would also be interesting to hear your opinion on some of the older vehicles out there that you see foe sale everywhere at all the discount car lots. Like the 2000-13 Chevy Tahoe, Dodge Caliber, 2010ish Ford Explorer... There's a TON of them out there for sale, but are any of them worth a damn...
I had a 19 ram 1500 limited and never had a issue. Tires were measured at very close to new after 23k miles even. I have a trx now same thing. 11k mikes , march will be 2 years with it. Absolutely love that truck ! We have had ram 5500s since 11 with Cummins we trade em in every 5 years other then normal maintenance and tires never a issue and I currently on number 7 and 8 with them. The only trucks that ever given us issues is the Nissan NV25/3500 van and a 06 f550 we had back in the day with a 6.0. She had 3 different turbos during ownership.
so sick dope sick trick dope sick dopety dog dope sick
my dads truck was one just like that and it burnt oil
And the award for the ugliest wheels goes to.....
Thank you for the review. Good information. I wonder what kind of fuel mileage I get towing I heard that they get pretty bad even towing a side-by-side and a small trailer?
Great job, we don't get the F150's over here. That didn't stop me watching though. :)
Same-ish, we have maybe 1-2 dealerships that import American market cars as new but that’s not really official
