Did quite a lot of research, cylinder deactivation doesn’t seem to be an issue. It rotates the cylinders it deactivates, so it not the same cylinders all the time. Upgraded the piston rings for oil consumption issue. Haven’t come across any of the issues people were complaining about oil consumption like in the’18-‘19. Sounds like a winner if you don’t want an eco boost. I’d recommend 3:73 gears if you can find one.
@@dubwilliams77731 it was about 47k before some rebates that that took a few thousand off. Also I traded a 2016 Tacoma so that helped. Just got back from pulling a small camper from Oklahoma to Colorado and back and it did well. Still love it so far!
Bro thank you so much!!!!! This was beyond helpful I'm about to let my 17f250 platinum go so wanted to get good idea, fluctuations throughout the states is crazy and this helps big time
Great truck! Great engine! Really against the whole cylinder elimination crap, my dads old super duty did that along time ago and it was a failure! I want a truck that runs off all cylinders constantly!
I have an XL, Supercab, 4x4, 8 ft box on order. Glad the 5.0 is still available. I’m not a ‘fan’ of fans, hybrids or EVs. The mfgs. still have lots of work to do to make them comparable to naturally aspirated engines. Simple is better.
they both tow differently. 3.5 deliveries power at lower rpms but the 5.0 coyote motor is a high reving engine. It needs to live in the high rpms to get its max power. A reason why coyote is such a bad ass motor in the mustang. The high rpms + exhaust is soo fun
Since Ford has put in that (stupid) cylinder deactivation for this year, is it active in only the Eco mode, or does it kick on in the Normal mode as well?
Big question is can you deactivate that system or do you have to go through the whole scenario taking the top of the motor off like they did with the police Caprices with the ls Motors with the cylinder deactivation system..... If I'm gonna to be spending all that money I want that 5.0 to be banging on all cylinders all the time....., that is granted gas prices go down...
That’s the dumbest fucking option ever for mechanics try doing an alignment with it constantly going into park if there was a button on the dash to disable it then it wouldn’t be an issue I could also see it being an Issue when trying to push a dead car
@Bulls Nation It does not actually. Gm has a 4 cylinder 2.7 8 speed 4 cylinder, and it get's worse economy then Fords 2.7, and has less power . Do some research , and Fords 2.7 can't be beat on a full size truck compared to any gas motor out there for economy , power .
@@calebniederhofer6529 you are simply a fanboi. In real world testing the GM 2.7 is considerably more fuel efficient than the Ford 2.7. Ford is actually in class action ligation because of its terrible performance. And at the moment I'm so fed up with GM and their shitty ass trucks as soon as it is feasible I'm out of my Silverado and into a F-150.
Thank you very much! I’ve been trying to get one from ford for a week review where I can get a night video. If I can’t get one soon I’ll see if this dealer lets me grab one at night 😁👍
What was the payload sticker on this truck? I know you said what the maximum payload is but with options, the payload goes down and the manufacturer gives you a sticker of the actual payload on a specific truck Payload sticker is on driver door jamb
Don't want a sunroof never cut a hole in a roof. Had three one 2015 broke the other 2018 leaks. Sad thing my 2003 works after all these years and doesn't leak. Guess not everything gets better with time. Great video.
Interesting comment! I ordered a 2020 Lariat last year and initially I wanted a sunroof but after reading comments about owners who had experienced problems with their sunroofs on the f150 I decided not to get one. I own a 2001 Dodge with a sunroof and never had any problems with it.

I would take the v8 model because i love the sound and I zero trust the hybrid technollogy in longevity. what if this hybrid system brokes at 200k miles how expensiv will it be to fix it
The color is awesome 👌. I like how automakers are designing more cleaner easy vehicles. This front end looks very good on this model. The interior looks very nice and comfortable. I actually like this, but still will choose you know what instead 😂. Appreciate you Nolan.
XL STX front looks better than most other higher trims. Standard halogens are dim by todays standards. The side mirrors vertically seem a bit undersized to me. Truck rides and drives well(3.5L driven), and is very quiet. The 10spd still shifts funny at low speeds/gears sometimes and abruptly under slight load at higher speeds/gears. Have driven 3 Fords with the 10spd in last year or so, all three with same odd shifts. Curious if GMs version of transmission shifts the same. The 3.5L XLT 4x4 version I had for the week topped out at 22mpg interstate driving. Curious what V8 gets. Also had an issue one time out of eight where the truck wouldn’t disengage from 4H back to 2H for awhile. Would still prefer a manual floor shift lever for 4wd any day over a an electronic rotary knob, on any vehicle. Nice truck overall.
I was at the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo in Rapid City South Dakota last week. They had a F450 STX for $63,000. They had a F150 Lariat for $67,000. The F450 was a dually 6.7 diesel. 63K is a good price for how much truck you get in a F450.
Very nice, I’m from South Dakota 👍. It’s wild what some of the prices are but yeah the 450 diesel really isn’t too bad all things considered. Thanks for stopping by!
What is this crazy trend of putting large wheels on trucks? Trucks are meant to have fat high profile tires for driving over terrain. Who buys a truck and drives it like a low rider down main street? BTW that 5.0 is the best sounding motor of all the trucks with the Nissan Titan coming in second.
I am willing to bet is has something to do with speed. If youblook at how fast people drive nowadays youll want a thinner sidewall tire for handling purposes. If you have a thicker sidewall tire it decreases your handling capabilities and more likely to roll. Im completely guessing on this part of it lol
I like the new 2021 F150. I wish Ford would add the Auto 4 wheel option on their mid Trims like the XLT and this. Ford only gives you 2H, 4H and 4L. You need to bump up to a Lariat or higher to get the 4A.... Both RAM and GM’s give a 4 Auto option on all the low/mid levels trims like Bighorn or the LT and RST trucks. With Ford, unless you dish out $ and upgrade for 10k for the Lariat or higher., no 4 Auto . Living in Minnysnowta, 4 Auto is a must for me anyway.
If money wasn't a factor I'd love a King Ranch. Lariat is awesome but again over 60k is just too much for me. I ordered an XLT 302A waiting to hear the build date. I currently have a 2016 XLT 302A with 3.5 Ecoboost. It's a good strong motor! My dad has a 2016 Lariat with 5.0. The 3.5 feels stronger and definitely accelerates faster. That being said, I went with the 5.0 because I miss the V8 rumble. Can't wait till the exhaust companies start making systems for the 21s. It's a little cheaper by $600 and it has more than enough power for what I honestly will do. The 2.7 is probably enough but I'm thinking resale value the 5.0 and 3.5 will obviously bring more $.
I love the 5.0 also. I have as ‘18 I’m thinking about training in. Not many 5.0 out there. There trying to talk me into 3.5 ecoboost but I’m having trouble pulling the trigger. I know the #’s are impressive but all my trucks have had a v8. Something about that sound / feel makes for a great truck.
@@northjerseykevin3915 true nice to see real men still go for the v8, People really think the 2.7 or 3.5 were menat for trucks 😂 specially with turbos it just means your engine will wear out faster plus when it breaks how much for repair?
@@julianrocha60 not true the 3.5 is reinforced to handle the power that it generates. Just because an engine has more cylinders doesnt mean it is built stronger. Ecoboosts not lasting is a lie. they are amazing engines
@@julianrocha60 understanding that your reply was 1yr ago but, I definitely hope they fixed the whole cam phaser issues with the vct solenoid going bad too. My 19 coyote V8 just had the cam phasers and timing chain replaced at 53k miles. Now at 54k miles and it's back in the shop again for another vct solenoid replacement. Ready to get rid of it before something else goes wrong with it.
I drove a hybrid & 5.0 last weekend but what I don’t understand is why don’t they give a much better warranty on the hybrid the battery 8 year 100 thousand mile warranty I’m going to a different dealer in PA this week they s good selection of 2021
Cylinder deactivation? No thank you. If I want a truck to run on 4 cylinders I'd buy a 4 cylinder truck. And the money for a near entry level truck is absolutely crazy. I guess I don't have to worry about shopping for a new truck this year.
Just drive it in sports mode and you never have to deal with cylinder deactivation. That how I drive my 2022. Nothing says you can’t drive it in sports mode all the time.
Dude are you actually near Rockwall? I got almost this package without FX4 (still 4x4 though, I'm still super confused on how the badging works) in Leadfoot but they didn't have this one in stock when I looked at Rockwall Ford's website so I went elsewhere that had it on their lot. Mine also has the rarity of the 2kw generator on the 5.0.
geeez man! todays vehicles have so much electronic display, its almost like, one has to go to a fighter pilot school just to drive one of these and I'm not some old guy here. Lol!
The EPA is forcing that bullshit. The consumer should have the option to turn it off. Hopefully it is simple as going into sport mode or plugging something into the trailer light plug.
@@shettlock I can't get it ti work on the website builder. If you pick the xl without the stx package u can get any motor but with the stx it automatically picks the 2.7. I just bought the dame truck and had to get the 2.7 but trust me it's more powerful than my 2013 5.0
Great bargain package there , although I like the XLT / FX4 Off Road / Sport Appearance package myself. Just curious what the tow capacity / fuel mileage differences are between the 3.55 and 3.31 gear with a Super Crew 6.5 ft bed with that 5.0L Coyote engine
@@justinkepple8940 Yes , you’re right ! I saw that after I posted this . It’s a shame that Ford doesn’t offer the option to get 3.55 gears with the V-8 ( you used to be able to order whatever gear you wanted ) I had a 2005 F-150 XLT with the 5.4L Triton that came standard with the 3.55 rear axle… it seems to be a perfect balance of towing capacity without sacrificing fuel economy so much , now they only offer the 3.31 or you have to step up to the Max Trailer Tow package and a 3.73 gear with the V-8 . I had a 1998 Dodge Ram with the 5.9L V-8 and a 3.55 rear axle, and it just seems to work well for what I do . They act like it’s some kind of forbidden voodoo to have a V-8 with a 3.55 gear or something, I don’t know 🤷♂️ I don’t get it either. Oh well , I better get one with a V-8 while I still can because those are all going away soon too !
@@NorthwoodsNomad yes I recently traded in my 18 2.7 for a 19 5.0. Needless to say it’s much more fun to drive. And it’s got the 157” wheelbase. But also has the 3.55. Only had it for 2k miles so I’m not sure about oil consumption yet. However going to go get it appraised and perhaps go for a 2022 custom order. I’ve read a lot about 3.73 vs 3.31 and nearly everybody says go 3.73 and you won’t regret it. Negligible .5 - 1.0 mpg on the highway. I just think the new gen is not as good looking as the previous gen
@@justinkepple8940 Yeah , I know , I’ve owned so many pick up trucks throughout the years , I can’t keep track of them all . And I’ve never had anything less than a 3.55 rear differential , it just does most things rather well , a really nice balance of tow capacity and decent highway mileage, all around utility for a truck. It goes well with V-8’s . These manufacturers are pressured into putting 3.31 and 3.15 differential gears into modern day trucks because they’re trying to meet certain requirements for fuel economy compliance ( bunch of bureaucratic BS involved but we won’t get into that lol 😂) Yep , I won’t buy anything less than a 3.55 gear , as you said the fuel mileage is a negligible trade off for the additional tow capacity and just outright robust integrity of the 3.73 differential over the 3.31 ( 9.75” rear end and that comes standard when you opt for the 3.73 differential , which includes the Max Trailer tow package and added leaf springs also inclusive of the heavy duty payload package and tow monitoring package… it all comes as a package bundled into one ). Of course, you pay extra for it , but we’ll worth the upgrade in my opinion.
There is no need for 3.55 gears with the 10 speed transmission. If you pull every weekend or several times a month you would probably want to opt for the 3.73s or 4.10s. The 3.31s with the 10 speed pulls like 3.73s with a 6 speed tranny due to how the 10 speed transmission is geared. My 2022 STX 4x4 with 3.31s pulls significantly harder off the line than my 2007 F-150 with 3.55s.
I am stuck between the 5.0 v8 and the 2.7 ecoboost. I have always had V8's but not sure about the cylinder deactivation or the reports of the 5.0 oil issues. Not totally sold on turbo's but I have to test drive both. I will be soon getting out of a Titan with the 5.6 V8 and looking at new Tiatans, F150, and Ram. Toyotas are really reliable trucks but the fuel economy is dead last. Anyone with either the 5.0 or 2.7 have any info, good or bad?
Test drive the 2.7. It’s ridiculous. It’s as fast or probably faster than a 2020 GTI with dsg. And max tow capacity is 10,000 lbs with payload package.
I don't get it. My 2019 5.0 gets 22 on highway and 17.6 in city. That's the same as this thing that has cylinders turning on and off. What gives ? Ford engineers can't simply make a simple and bulletproof engine. The port and direct injection is superb.....why did they have to put in another weak link like cylinder shut off. ?? I was headed out to buy one and then read about cylinder deactivation. Goofiness.
The 2020 had a beautiful front end in almost any trim. Too bad they uglied it up bad with the 2021 (the entire area with the headlights to be exact). And just say no to the cylinder deactivation. It's been a nightmare to so many other manufacturers (GM probably got it the worst) because it's bad tech.

Towing heavier loads (~6000 pounds) the 5.0 needs to wound out and feels strained. The 3.5 EB doesn’t ever break a sweat.

they both tow differently. 3.5 deliveries power at lower rpms but the 5.0 coyote motor is a high reving engine. It needs to live in the high rpms to get its max power. A reason why coyote is such a bad ass motor in the mustang. The high rpms + exhaust is soo fun

@@julianrocha60 I’m a V8 person myself but the turbo V6’s won’t wear out faster. Semis have turbo motors and the turbos rarely fail.
All those engines have a bunch of issues with the timing components
Is the cab in the XL as quiet as higher trims?
Plan on getting this model truck in this color or black.
Wow👍
All I want is a 2 door regular cab short bed, can't find one.
They are so rare that you have to order them now.
I have a 2020 ranger but its too small for me so im either getting this or the silverado
Agreed, I have the same ranger and making the upgrade now. Just ordered an XL STX 2.7.
@@jordanurbani5881 nice i test drove 1 of those the only thing i didnt like was the engine stop start
@@jordanurbani5881 lol nice I just bought a used stx 2.7 2018
I want a brand new f150 v8 but just ain’t ready yet
clean look, nice truck,
Too bad cylinder de-activation wears out the cylinders much quicker. Ford should just drop that feature.
The EPA is forcing that bullshit. The consumer should have the option to turn it off. Hopefully it is simple as going into sport mode or plugging something into the trailer light plug.
Just drive it in sports mode. That stops cylinder deactivation. That’s how I drive my 2022 STX.
Does every stx model have a Locking rear dif? Love this truck
yes. It is standard for any f150 truck that has their 4x4 system.
The 2.7 does everything the v8 can and gives you amazing fuel mileage.
Wait in Canada the 5.0 isn't an option o the xl stx package only 2.7
Ffs really? Website builder allows it. What about 3.5?
@@shettlock I can't get it ti work on the website builder. If you pick the xl without the stx package u can get any motor but with the stx it automatically picks the 2.7. I just bought the dame truck and had to get the 2.7 but trust me it's more powerful than my 2013 5.0
that same package but with 18s and the super cab.
Great bargain package there , although I like the XLT / FX4 Off Road / Sport Appearance package myself.
Just curious what the tow capacity / fuel mileage differences are between the 3.55 and 3.31 gear with a Super Crew 6.5 ft bed with that 5.0L Coyote engine
There is no more 3.55 option with the v8 it’s either 3.73 or 3.31
@@justinkepple8940 Yes , you’re right ! I saw that after I posted this . It’s a shame that Ford doesn’t offer the option to get 3.55 gears with the V-8 ( you used to be able to order whatever gear you wanted )
I had a 2005 F-150 XLT with the 5.4L Triton that came standard with the 3.55 rear axle… it seems to be a perfect balance of towing capacity without sacrificing fuel economy so much , now they only offer the 3.31 or you have to step up to the Max Trailer Tow package and a 3.73 gear with the V-8 . I had a 1998 Dodge Ram with the 5.9L V-8 and a 3.55 rear axle, and it just seems to work well for what I do . They act like it’s some kind of forbidden voodoo to have a V-8 with a 3.55 gear or something, I don’t know 🤷♂️ I don’t get it either. Oh well , I better get one with a V-8 while I still can because those are all going away soon too !
@@NorthwoodsNomad yes I recently traded in my 18 2.7 for a 19 5.0. Needless to say it’s much more fun to drive. And it’s got the 157” wheelbase. But also has the 3.55. Only had it for 2k miles so I’m not sure about oil consumption yet. However going to go get it appraised and perhaps go for a 2022 custom order. I’ve read a lot about 3.73 vs 3.31 and nearly everybody says go 3.73 and you won’t regret it. Negligible .5 - 1.0 mpg on the highway. I just think the new gen is not as good looking as the previous gen
@@justinkepple8940 Yeah , I know , I’ve owned so many pick up trucks throughout the years , I can’t keep track of them all . And I’ve never had anything less than a 3.55 rear differential , it just does most things rather well , a really nice balance of tow capacity and decent highway mileage, all around utility for a truck. It goes well with V-8’s . These manufacturers are pressured into putting 3.31 and 3.15 differential gears into modern day trucks because they’re trying to meet certain requirements for fuel economy compliance ( bunch of bureaucratic BS involved but we won’t get into that lol 😂)
Yep , I won’t buy anything less than a 3.55 gear , as you said the fuel mileage is a negligible trade off for the additional tow capacity and just outright robust integrity of the 3.73 differential over the 3.31 ( 9.75” rear end and that comes standard when you opt for the 3.73 differential , which includes the Max Trailer tow package and added leaf springs also inclusive of the heavy duty payload package and tow monitoring package… it all comes as a package bundled into one ). Of course, you pay extra for it , but we’ll worth the upgrade in my opinion.
There is no need for 3.55 gears with the 10 speed transmission. If you pull every weekend or several times a month you would probably want to opt for the 3.73s or 4.10s. The 3.31s with the 10 speed pulls like 3.73s with a 6 speed tranny due to how the 10 speed transmission is geared. My 2022 STX 4x4 with 3.31s pulls significantly harder off the line than my 2007 F-150 with 3.55s.
Nice review! But 20 inch wheels on any off road package just doesn't match.
Agreed lol. Thanks for watching!
When will Ford start making 2 cylinder trucks?
GM will start making them first
It is sound crazy but that 5.0 l sound like a 4.6 3v
How much did you pay?
dcoes the new 5.0 tick and clatter?
No
No yet but my 18 was quite when I first got it. Time will tell
I am stuck between the 5.0 v8 and the 2.7 ecoboost. I have always had V8's but not sure about the cylinder deactivation or the reports of the 5.0 oil issues. Not totally sold on turbo's but I have to test drive both. I will be soon getting out of a Titan with the 5.6 V8 and looking at new Tiatans, F150, and Ram. Toyotas are really reliable trucks but the fuel economy is dead last. Anyone with either the 5.0 or 2.7 have any info, good or bad?
Whats the oil issue? What years were affected? I have a '15 and no oil consumption issue.
Test drive the 2.7. It’s ridiculous. It’s as fast or probably faster than a 2020 GTI with dsg. And max tow capacity is 10,000 lbs with payload package.
Don’t get an eco boost bro. So many issues with timing components, ask any ford tech. They are slammed to the ground repairing these
My loaner is this specd truck. I like it
So sad. 2021. Remote start and led projectors should should standard. And soft open tailgate.
You get remote start free with FordPass now, it's just not on the dongle.
led lights should be standard gm does.i hate my f150 stx lights at night lowbeam is weak
I would say that with the Led Package the front looks waaayyyy better, this front looks kinda "cheap"
I like my 13 f150 better than the stx. If I'm not getting all the new tech and LEDs, there's no point to get a new one.

✌️👍👍👍
5.0 is better than 3.5 ecoboost and powerboost combined
Not for towing.
@@tedschmitt178 indeed, torque is king for towing. You get 100 lb-ft with it so ...would much rather the boost
why? 3.5 is far superior with almost 500 torquw
Limited Hybrid.
I'll wait a couple years for Ford to fine-tune the cylinder deactivation. GM has horrible oil consumption issues with theirs.
My 14 LTZ Z71 grenaded at 86k miles. The AFM lifters were the culprit. So I can't say cylinder deactivation thrills me from Ford.
We gotta figure out how to turn that crap off and then it won’t be an issue
I don't get it. My 2019 5.0 gets 22 on highway and 17.6 in city. That's the same as this thing that has cylinders turning on and off. What gives ?
Ford engineers can't simply make a simple and bulletproof engine. The port and direct injection is superb.....why did they have to put in another weak link like cylinder shut off. ?? I was headed out to buy one and then read about cylinder deactivation. Goofiness.
The 2020 had a beautiful front end in almost any trim. Too bad they uglied it up bad with the 2021 (the entire area with the headlights to be exact).
And just say no to the cylinder deactivation. It's been a nightmare to so many other manufacturers (GM probably got it the worst) because it's bad tech.
Fuck cylinder Deactivation!!!! Only reason I’m getting a 2020, love ford but they are messing up because of the eco nuts
You lost me at cylinder deactivation
I know it’s a bummer ☹️
@North jersey Kev you can, there's a plug near the battery. Pull it and it deactivates it.
i dont like the looks of the 4 doors but its ok
sooo they lowered tailgate one inch more.hate that next year it will look like a car
bruhh the door handles looks extremly cheap
So boring with a weak looking interior.....Go Ram!!!
Go RAM, back to the dealer for repairs. Rams are for people who only THINK they need a truck, but they really need to be driving Ridgelines.
