What would really impress me is a $15,000 price cut. Cost management is cooler than a complicated tailgate.
Exactly we need bare bones WORK truck that small companies can afford and will have a low maintenance cost.
@@sprkySWOUPEXACTLY!! With a manual gearbox as well. I wouldn't buy a new truck regardless of manufacturer. They're way overpriced and not built to last. Notice you don't hear or see advertising saying our truck's sold in the last 10 years are still running strong. Car's and trucks now are only built to a minimum standard to last 6-8 years. About the same time someone finishes off a loan, then sign up for more payments all over again. You know, because it's so important to impress strangers and advertise that the driver has money.
Or even just an affordable family truck too. Not just the work trucks.
@@sprkySWOUPSaid it perfectly.
Thank the UAW
They really need to stop designing trucks for office workers stopping for groceries
Those are the people who buy brand new cars
Hahaha for real 😂
Why? That’s who buys expensive trucks.
There should be a truck for every application not just tradies or construction.
@@hi9580I think he's saying stop making trucks for 🅱️*tche$
Now when you get rear ended, the tailgait costs 10,000.00 to fix. Genius.
15,000
How are you doing over there?
😂😂
So dumb. Someone needs to be fired.
Congratulations, you just re-invented the station wagon tailgate
Customers: Ford can you lower the price of the trucks?
Ford: best I can do is a new tailgate which will make add another $5k to the price
*Laughs in $10k addition at least*: muah ha ha ha!
😂right. Who the hell needs that tiny ass tailgate
I was told a tailgate for a 2021 F250/F350 with just the camera was $9000.
Ford: I can add a useless feature and make you pay for it.
@@gregwesterman2115Lovely! This is making my 1984 F150 worth more and more each day!
How about just giving us an engine that will go 100,000 miles without losing three or four sensors and cam phasers
Sorry, best we can do is $15k of extra options.
Tundras are available
@@someguy8109that’s just a lifted Camry with the same towing capacity.
@@diegaspumper8501That's just insane BS you're spewing. Tundra has a towing capacity starting at 8k lbs. Payload of 1800 lbs. fully configured, it beats out the F-150 by 3000 lbs towing and 400 lbs payload.
@@LynxStarAuto you can say whatever you want but I never see tundra’s towing anything other than a small fishing boat from time to time. I do a lot of traveling all over the country. No one tows with them. I’m sorry it hurts your feelings especially since you probably have one but the fact remains that no one tows with them.
Lmao as soon as he said "what was the point of that?" He lagged for just half a second because he knew 😂
The best feature on a super duty would be to open the hood forward like a semi-truck. This way, you don't have to remove the cab to work on the engine.
Ford: "We invent problems to solutions that don't exist"
Exactly what I was thinking !
then they charge extra for something no one asked for.
That's how capitalism works
You said it backwards 😂
Ford; we make one of the best vans in the market, but we invest in this thing.
How about just build a more reliable truck and don't charge us $70,000
In order vor that to happen. Ya gotto get people to stop buying high end models everytime the new Year comes around😮.
Maverick
@@FreiherrvonWeilbergThat thing is a fwd POS with a cvt. I'll take a Ridgeline over it any day.

Everyone I know with a truck doesn’t actually need a truck. The truck gets used for the Christmas tree and beach umbrella
I take it you don’t know any rednecks?
And a small collision turns into a 8k repair bill.
On a part that should be the cheapest body panel repair on any truck. It's only exacerbated by LED taillights that have to have the whole housing replaced for 5k. (Prices are estimated, and probably exaggerated).
Underestimated actually.
It is ridiculous at this point I drive a truck from 93 and I can get a tailgate built to manufacture spec and painted to match my current one for less than the cost of most shops to remove one of these mine to pull off that you don’t have to take it to a shop just to pop the tailgate off as long as you’re tall enough you can do it by yourself
Solutions looking for a problem? The tail gate innovation wars is getting out of hand.
I agree.
I love it.
They all seem superfluous. A tailgate that allows you to open it halfway (like the maverick and many other standard gates) is enough. I'm sure the option is expensive and if you get rear ended.... I'd hate to see the bill to replace it.
Y’all are beyond dramatic and straight up complainers
For those grocery getter trucks!
The 2025 model will have a heated tailgate, so you don't freeze your ass off waiting for the tow truck.
😂
A joke as old as time😂
Underatted comment
😂😂😂😂😂 I love this
@@AQS521 But more relevant each new model year!
That tailgate probably costs more than my truck did. 😂
As we speak, Ford is working on their 2026 tailgate, which will have built-in champagne chiller and caviar dispenser.
Heard that the top of this tail gate is heated so your hands stay warm when you're pushing it to the side of the road.
Come on now. Everybody knows Yugo invented the heated bumper for that 40 years ago. Even Ford engineers know the heater goes in the bumper.
How nice of ford
Wow never heard that one
Absolutely too funny right to the point
Wow that was a low blow. But just too funny 😁 😂
The $1,500 tailgate just turned into a $4,500 tailgate.
That would be GM stupid tailgate that hits the trailer hitch whenever you open it and put a big dent in the tailgate
@@ronp1018both of these tailgates are stupid and probably cost 4/5k
Honda did it better and irs cheaper/ the tailgate is one piece
@@diegaspumper8501 the Ford tailgate just makes more sense though.
@@eclipz3424 Honda does not make a pick up truck.
Ford: isn't exactly known for reliability in recent years
Also Ford: puts more points of failure on their car
I think the Ford CEO (and board members) should all read these comments.
Yes if they ever really want to hope to be the best selling truck in America they really should!
I'm pretty sure they could care less what youtube thinks.
Ford is the best selling trucks
Customers: can you offer manual transmissions and simple no frills affordable trucks?
Ford: here's a rubics cube tailgate
LOL 😂
Lmao. Comedy and spot on
see I love this tailgate because it’s clearly just leftover tailgates from when they were putting steps on them and they were like “well dang nobody cares about steps what do we use these for now!?”
AC and manual is all I want.
Simplicity doesn’t have ludicrous profit margins, silly.
I appreciate that the dude didn't walk onto the tailgate where that door is. Shows great faith in the product lol
If that mini door latch fails when you step on it... you'll wish it didn't open.
People: can you make your vehicles a bit reliable?
Ford: here's another part that will break in less than a year
Yes, make Ford F-150 trucks just as reliable Toyota Tundra trucks, then it would be good.
😂
Just get real... And a Chinese car copies that then y'all start crying yelling it's a copy fro US models bra bra bra .....
Built Ford Tough (it is only one of those things)
@@alienapksbra?
Can we just get the tiny Ranger back?
Lol agreed. They all doing it.. tacomas are now like tundras... Rangers are as big as 150s.... there is a huge market place for smaller trucks.. the maverick is doing great. Hyundai santa cruz is a car/truck hybrid....
The only version available will be King Ranch for $48K if you don't want to wait 2 years for delivery.
They can make a tiny ranger. But it's also going to come with a seven piece tailgate that will probably get stolen
Agreed! Haven’t owned a Ford truck since my little 1991 Ranger. And I’d enjoy having another 88-91. 2.3 4 cylinder, 5speed, 3.73 gears, standard bed and single cab. Perfection!
Lol they made a tiny Ranger. It's called the Maverick 😂 I have one and parked next to a old ranger and it was the same size. Only thing is the ranger had a longer bed and the mav had a bigger cab. I'm really not sure why they just didn't make the bed longer in the Maverick and called it a Ranger...
XZIBIT: Yo dawg I heard you like tailgates. So we pimped yo tailgate so you can tailgate while tailgating.
Wow a door that almost opens then fully opens! Such innovation!
Ford needs to sit down with actual blue collar people and farmers and ask what they really want in a work truck. Bring back dual tanks!
Electric or hybrid then you wont need 2 fuel tanks😂
@@fireant1272electric you’ll just need to stop for even longer 💀
And give up the huge poser market?
@@KDlGG it was a joke because electric vehicles dont use fuel..
@@fireant1272i thought it was a joke because the ev’s have hilariously low range
I’m pretty sure the big 3 brands have a group chat where they compete and brag to each other about who can come up with the stupidest tailgate.
The only two features I like on a tailgate is a fold out step and the gas shocks that stop it from flopping open.
Anything else is completely unnecessary
Then they brag about how many TH-camrs gush over their nonsense! 😂
But it's heated
The Big 3 disappeared 10 years ago.
Apparently, Ford didn’t see how much the people hated the Honda Ridgeline
The perfect solution for a problem nobody had….. great job Ford!
Ford finally recognizing that most of the F150s they sell are glorified grocery getters.
I saw a dude the other day at the store. He was in a crew cab short bed f150 and had about a dozen bags of groceries he dropped the tailgate (because he had a hard bed cover) he then proceeded to pull out a hook on a pole and use it to grab multiple collapsing bins that he opens up and fills with the groceries. I sat in my car (because I don’t need my truck to get groceries) and watched as he took 10 minutes to load 12 bags into his truck. Now I’m no genius but I would have opened the back door and tossed everything in, skipping the bed entirely.😂 it’s crazy what these white collar dudes will do to justify owning a pickup.
@@gorehammer1 I was a car salesman for a couple of years in the mid 2010's. Anyone that used their trucks for work hated the newer trucks. Nearly every brand new truck I sold went to a desk worker.
I sold several used vans (some were minivans) to carpenters, handymen, and farmers.
New trucks are just an accessory for men who feel the need to cosplay and our roads are more dangerous and in worse shape for it. It's great.
@@velohench you couldn’t pay me to drive one of those little boy trucks.
@@velohench hey we need a truck for ranch work and to get across these dam roads even 80k utv side x side atv the suspension would break in a moment

That will be 10 grand. Thank you for making shit we dont want. Give us a bare bones V8 for 20 grand.
Right there with ya too. Sick of the unnecessary electronics and other features.
Nobody wants that. For example 70% of all GMC heavy duty trucks sold are the two highest trims. Get over it, you have fleet vehicles but even you don't actually want what you say you want or you'd already be buying those
@@evocati6523 just because you don't know how to drive a manual doesn't mean other people don't.
Ford's in the business of makiny money. They ain't a charity giving away cars ya bum. You want a 20k v8 go buy a beater.
@@galactictomato1434 crazy you’re assuming he’s a bum. Everybody has a different taste buddy
That tailgate it’s gonna help so many families get their groceries faster!
I can picture the tailgate down and someone stepping on it and that tiny door opening. Lawyers, on your mark, readyyyy, gooooo!
We added 150 new parts to our tailgate and jacked up the price another 5K
Can someone just build a good basic truck that doesn't cost eighty grand?
Just get a basic trim
@@VictorMartinez-pi8wb
You cant.. most of the time
@@tahwseodtino they don't, not new
Nobody buys those. People SAY they want them, and then hardly anyone buys them, so they stop offering as many. Same thing with manual transmissions; people say they want them, but then hardly anyone buys one.
“Ah just give it a few seconds”
Much better older truck: SLAM!
Tailgate is down in a blink of a eye
Hell if you don't want it to slam just hold the tailgate and move your hand down
The fact we need a step to get into our truck beds now but not before is telling of a major problem
Our 83 oldsmobile station wagon had a tailgate that did all of this and had a legitimate reason for those features.
Solutions to problems that don’t exist has entered the chat.
Exactly! That basically sums up nearly all of the technological "innovations" over the past decade.
Here’s an idea. Bring back the minimalistic truck. We don’t need 7 way adjusting tailgates. Or 360 degrees cameras with back up assist. Just power windows, door locks ,4wd, big v8 and and wing windows.
and MAYBE a sunroof thats about it
“What’s the point of that?” “You can open it this way….”😂
Tailgates are getting stupid.
Totally 😅
Right?! lol gmc thought they cured cancer with how proud of that dumbass tailgate they are.
I can’t wait for the 40 piece fully customized tailgate that costs as much as the truck 😂
Just wait 15 years and this tail gate will be worth more than truck.
@@guyod1you say that but the tail gate is just about the most expensive thing on a truck anymore 😕
I know right !
And another thing. There needs to be 2 different models. 1 for the northern states and 1 that won’t overheat in the south / Southwest!!
My Honda Ridgeline has had this since 2006. The only thing Ford did was make it shorter, while mine utilizes the entire width of the tailgate.
The perfect tailgate for someone who has no need for a truck.
It's perfect for someone with bad knees. I do construction for a living and could definitely use it
@DaleDenton-ov5pg That's a really good point!!
or old people
(99% of truck owners)
I like how he went “you can open it this much, or this much, or all the way.”
Blew my mind 🤯 🤓😂
In the knife world it's called "the walk and talk"
It seems funny, but there's actual notch points that open at certain angles. So it doesn't swing so freely after opening it to the certain point.

This hasn’t even came out yet and already complaining lol. Get the standard tailgate which will come on most of the new f-150s
@@thehunter9149problem is it drives up the price of all trucks. That r and d is not cheap.
To be fair, ram and Chevy have been making stupid tailgates for a few years now

@@highmilesgarage9131or the 15-hour water pump in any of the SUVs with the 3.5. 🤣🤡
Even the tailgate has more failure points, I didn’t think that could be possible
Instead of reinventing the tailgate ford should try making a truck instead of making a car wearing a truck costume.
I’m sure it’s helpful sometimes to have a complex tailgate, but I don't see why we need to complicate something that works excellently 99% of the time.
Exactly!
Some might have uses for it. Just making it easier for people to use. It isn't like it is in the way.
I too remember when doors were complicated at the age of 3.
Not sometimes, actually 99% of the times. I have a Ram 1500 with multifunction tailgate. I used the traditional opening a handful of times. Opening the tailgate to the side gives me better access to the cargo, and don’t have to climb the tailgate, simply step up to the bed. Much easier!
Stupid idea
100 just more stuff that can break
When something falls on that tailgate, nothing is going to work, open or shut ever again.
How about make a reliable truck with a 500k warranty?
Ford: makes a $10k tailgate
I wasn't sure it was worthwhile but then I saw the several different opening distances, I'm sold!
The point is.. it costs 5k to replace the tailgate
Just wait till the tailgate becomes a mini car/ scooter you pull off and ride to the door.
Lol! Don't give them any ideas...
Ok hang on actually that would be cool, not another door.
80s Honda city did this and maybe the new Honda city will have an electric one. Honda bikes have always been amongst the top players.
At least then it'd be worth the price increase
😂😂😂
Perfect for the guy who's too weak to close a regular tailgate.
or someone who just want to walk up in the bed like on stairs with something to hold with your hands without jumping/sitting to hop off an opened tailgate. id hate on anything in this department but that’s quite smart

Trucks aren't trucks anymore, they are luxury SUVs with a bed, and the apparent need for a tailgate design like this proves it. No tradesman who needs to carry a lot of equipment will actually buy a big truck like this, they will either go for a Transit van or, if they really need a truck, a base model Mitsubishi Triton or Toyota Hilux.
Remember kids, the more moving parts the more things will break.

Honda: cries in corner bc they invented it but no one at all believes they are a “real truck”
@@Kahne-yy3vq They aren't real trucks because they don't have a true truck chassis and can't handle the rigorous beating on there suspension components. They first used the chassis of the Honda accord and now are using the Odyssey. Don't get me wrong I grew up purchasing mainly honda cars and there excellent but when it comes to trucks no. Only if Honda would just create there own chassis for a truck like Nissan and Toyota.
Rams, chargers, 300s are so behind when you compare them with GM and Fords models.
As a body and paint guy, I'd tell ppl to avoid all the tailgate war bs gates.
If you use a truck like a truck all these tailgates fail and most ppl can't affordto get em fixed.
That tailgate weighs more than the truck bed
Here's what Ford and other truck companies don't understand. We don't want fancy tailgates. We don't want the top of the bed of the truck to be 6 1/2 foot off the ground. We don't want giant oversized wheels. We don't want 100 gigits and gadgets. We want a reliable truck that's not built so big that it's impractical to use on the job site and so expensive that you cry every time it gets a scratch on it. We don't need a $70,000 truck to babysit. We need a reasonably priced basic truck with power windows, a good radio, air-conditioning, and heat to work with. Back up cameras are useful. That's all.
Someone stole my tailgate.
Ford- “ That’ll be 50k for a replacement”
Back into a pole at 2mph, totaled truck.
The only thing I’m thinking about is how expensive that’s going to be to replace when it inevitably breaks
Maybe someone will sell a kit that locks it, now you just have a heavier tailgate
Him when the tailgate is shut: how do I get out?
Me: jump over the tailgate and hope you foot don't catch it causing you to fall on your face
Imagine getting hit from behind! The tailgate alone will get the whole truck totaled.
Now I can get $5,000 more anxiety at the intersection every time someone comes up on me fast.

@@ackableswhat about big companies that use them for simple work trucks?
So they made a mashup of the Honda Ridgeline and Chevy/GMC tailgates and gave it a fancy name. This will likely be a $5000 extra because reasons.
Well... the Honda Ridgeline tailgate is just a copy of station wagon tailgates from the 1960s and 70s so...
I much prefer the Ridgeline's tailgate. Being a single piece it is lighter, cheaper, better looking, and opens the full width with one swing. I don't understand why Ram and Ford felt the need to overcomplicate it. Like Jerry mentioned Ford and GM used to do this in station wagons decades ago so it's not like it's a new idea.
Just give me a 2.7 EcoBoost, a 6-speed manual, full bench seats, and a tailgate that doesn’t have dampers. I don’t even care if it has a radio; add triangle windows and get rid of the AC while you’re at it. Damn, just give me a truck already!
A tailgate literally drops down so you have the ability to control how much it opens and the bed is usually uncovered to grab items from the top.
Trucks have stopped being trucks and are now just luxury suvs
Ford recognized that the f150 is just a family car and focus utility on the f250, 350 ,450, 550, and 650
True. It's a $60,000 SUV with a light duty cargo box. Designed for Pinterest Moms that haul thrift store end tables and other various hobby junk home, while football jersey goatee husband works weekend overtime at the machine shop to make the monthly $850 payment.
I believe those are legitimate truck usage.

2018 f150, I welded a 14” Pittsburgh pipe wrench from harbor freight to a 2” drop hitch. Horizontal across the bottom nut, parallel with the bumper. Best bumper step I ever seen and used and abused. $10 for the wrench and $15 for the hitch at tractor supply, god only knows what ford charges for that little step.
Are people really asking for this in focus groups??? Lol
No
Yes WOMEN and white collar males that won't carry more than the groceries 😂
I bet you yes. And for a number of reasons beyond just simple utility, but I'm envisioning that it'll match up with various camper solutions too... and probably more i haven't though of too.
Yes the old people who can afford a truck new
The only reason Ford did this was because of the multiflex tailgate from
GM and the RAM tailgate. I actually love the RAM implementation. Simple and easy. The GM is complex and prone to issues. Ford scraped the bottom of the barrel to come up with something that is as useful as tits on a boar. Horrible design and surely nothing to get excited about.
It's unbelievable how they're running out of ideas to make the trucks different and they're just focusing on the tailgates really
I have a crazy million dollar idea…. A vehicle with four wheels and an engine, that lasts with regular maintenance and the factories never need retooling because you just make the same model of car throughout the years, you don’t change it.
