Ford did away with the tailgate plate, and it's definitely a no-go for me now. Love the front end tho. Ford just keeps going backwards. Bring back the clear taillights too.
I love the fact that he says...at the first part of the video, we have a LOT of 2023 trucks left on the lot'. That's cause consumers are finally getting tired of these manufactures screwing the public with the prices...just stupid!!!
Yeah I've checked one out in person and boy is that interior a nice place to be. Drove a 2014 f150 limited in high school but yeah still debating between the denali ultimate by gmc or a ford lariat king ranch and platinum plus. I can imagine pulling my horse in that beauty.
@Real i noticed on some trim level the bed utility costs $1500 compared to $1000 last year. 50% increase in price. I thought ok this is for the new split tailgate (on build website). But obviously ford isnt shipping the new split tailgate. When will they ship new tailgate and thoughts on 50% bed utility package?
This new platinum had got nothing on my 2021 model platinum. Can’t believe Ford got rid of the tailgate badge, the one thing that made the ford platinum distinguishable from other trucks. This looks more like a glorified XLT.
Man!!! Just need to walk over to the parts department and order a 2021-23 tailgate (with appliqué), put a level on it and call it day with some bigger tires!! Not crazy about the wheels but I could live with them
Really disappointed they didnt put LED licence plate lights... That is a sad missing detail despite the price increases. What I dont understand is why the king ranch and platinums cost so much more than a loaded lariat, maybe im missing something but there isnt really a spec difference between them online to justify the massive price difference. On top of the lost individuality of options into packages, and I am a bit disappointed in the 24s despite looking so awesome.
This doesn't have the Platinum Plus (703A) package which greatly improves this truck, including added the multi-purpose tailgate with a "PLATINUM" applique above the handle.
@@weirdshibainu we will have trucks arriving soon with the new tailgate but at the time this video was shot they were not any available with this option due to build constraints
@@weirdshibainu the multi purpose tailgate is an option when ordering the truck.. we didn’t select the option on the first few orders because we knew it wouldn’t get built anytime soon. So we just ordered some without it this not charged for it on window sticker. The ones we did order with it will show the up charge on window sticker
Who is going to buy the Platinum without the brag on the back that they have the platinum trim? Sure, it is on the front, but not the tailgate? Badging on the seats and armrest look like they will snag your clothes or indent into your arm. Marketing won over the engineers there, but failed by not branding the tailgate.
Truck doesn't look to bad until you get to the rear end then it looks like a really cheap truck with a very HIGH price. Also how about a 5.0 with 1-2 turbos!. Fords really messing up in my opinion.
I assume it's 430 hp because it needs to compansate for the extra weight it has for being a Platinum with all options. The other trims are 400 hp because there is less weight.
It's not the applique that ruins the tail of the truck - it's the ridiculous Akins dealership decal applied to surface that ruins it. I can't believe their are still dealerships out there that think people want the dealer's garbage decal on their $65,000-$95,000 vehicle. Ford is completely out of touch with the market - no one wants EVs or V6 trucks, bring back the 2 V8 selections at all trim levels and offer the V6 as a downgrade.
what the hell are you gonna do with this truck driving around to the grocery store you can’t even put a mattress in that box. It looks like every other F150.👎
Very disappointed in the 2024 F150 flimsy aluminum compared to my 2016 lariat. Interior Xl up to lariat very cheap materials and all look like a work truck no power running boards up to lariat. No 22in wheels with a v8 and no v8 for platinum and also cheap looking tailgate higher trims you cannot build a f150 the way you want it only the way ford wants you to have it . Ford has been playing games for years with packages and options. If you go to a GMC sierra you can get a 62 v8 with performance exhaust 22in wheels and power running boards premium materials in interior. Im a Ford guy so this is sad for me to say do better Ford go away Farley All brand new American trucks across the board are not reliable with a premium price do better America.
I also can't believe they dumped the applique. That was always a way to differentiate from the base trims. Bring it back!!
💯💯💯
Ford was having problems with appliqué they kept coming apart from what I’m hearing
Sounds like a Ford to me

My red 2019 limited puts this truck to shame. Why would I trade for a truck that doesn’t look as good.
100%. Ford really dropped the ball for 2024
Why doesn’t this platinum have the pro access tailgate the showcased when it came out? Those had the platinum name on the back as well
Pro access is a late production option. None of the first round trucks will have it.
Wow...... It just looks like a XLT or a lower trim F150 from the rear without the tailgate applique. Ford screwed that up !!

Can’t wait to see what you do to these in the custom shop
Yes sir! Soon 🔜
❤Beautiful truck God bless you
I've seen the Platinum Plus with the new split tailgate. It looks REAL GOOD. That configuration is the only way I'd buy a Platinum.
You’d be spending a pretty penny nonetheless
where is the new tail gate ?
We have one coming soon
You should see what you don't get on the lariat anymore.
I like the ability to be able to kick your foot and have the steps come down.
Yes absolutely
So what trucks get the newest swing open tailgate?
Beautiful truck
It’s an option
No. On the plus version. which wont be out until July.

Que hermosa camioneta la mejor del mundo sin duda por eso es la rompe ventas saludos desde Cuernavaca Morelos México una gran ingeniera automotriz 🎉
@real deal, are you seeing the base Platinum truck configured with the black out package standard?
Blacked out, dual exhaust under bumper, etc?
No sir haven’t seen yet

love that new interior color. Makes me wish my 24 f350 limited had that color instead of the blue/gray
Oooweeee I bet it looks purty
Is it a dually?
Thank you for mentioning no rear applique. Every other channel just ignores that it's missing
Yes and I miss it!!

Glad i got my 2021 XLT 302a with a coyote 🐺 i. It man the did xlts wrong no led lights man crazy
Wonder if rear tail lights were purposely meant to look like the letter 'F' when illuminated?🧐😏 Genius move
I dont know if you will respond, but the video quality is very good. I am curious: What camera model do you use?
@@ConnorCourtney canon r5
@@RealDealNealthank you!
Mistake that the appliqué is gone. It really made the model look distinct.
Facts
Im noticing you can’t option a platinum or a king ranch with a 5.0. Trash. Not a fan of a v6 in my full size trucks
I'll take it....35k!
I like the ford trucks but this platinum is too bougie, I need the XLT lol nice truck though
Should have just kept the limited badge
BRING IT BACK

I agree
That rear end looks like it’s missing something. Too close to a regular XL model imo.
Yep
I don't want some juiced up V6. I want a V8. I don't want to get used to Something
Dont like how they got rid of limited. Limited was my dream truck for when i retire if i cant get a 2500 denali i was gonna go limited.
💯
Ford idiots screwed up dropping the limited trim
front is better...but the rear? no....and also the plaque on the tailgate.....costcutting?
Level it on some 35 Mud Grapps😊
Bubba truck style
Whoever finalized and sent that taillight design should be fired.
i did :)
This doesn't have the Platinum Plus (703A) package which greatly improves this truck, including added the multi-purpose tailgate with a "PLATINUM" applique above the handle.
that tailgate is not available yet and this is a 703a platinum plus

@@weirdshibainu we will have trucks arriving soon with the new tailgate but at the time this video was shot they were not any available with this option due to build constraints

Bring Back the Applique
What a mistake removing the applique. It looks cheap from the back.
No no no they have to put the appliqué back 🤦🏾♂️
💯💯
Very sad the Rear Applique is gone. Also, the tail lights look way too much like the new Tacomas/Tundras.
90k$ im good
Tailgate looks like it's an XL
When did Ford get bought by GM? 2018 was the last good year for ford, ill just keep my 2018 platinum.

Agreed
The wheels are terrible. From the side it looks just like 2017 or 18. Is Ford too tight to change the design.
Getting worse and worse as the years go by. Less standard options and badging- I am out!
Nice-Ford seems to be catching up to Toyota in features, mechanics and luxury. Still going with Toyota though…😉
Ford ruined the platinum they should have left a V8 in it
Give it a few years the V8 will be back.
I assume it's 430 hp because it needs to compansate for the extra weight it has for being a Platinum with all options. The other trims are 400 hp because there is less weight.
That hood and grill is not as nice as the ‘23, idk why they softened its look. Hope Ford doesn’t continue this moving forward…
And yet it has halogen rear license plate lights 😔
we will fix that for sure.. idk why they dont make that led too
@@RealDealNeal yea, I just find it funny how they go backwards. I have a 2021 XLT that has standard led license plate lights.

WTH is Ford thinking with that cheap look rear gate? Looks like straight out of a bare bones work truck more than the top line Platinum.

what the hell are you gonna do with this truck driving around to the grocery store you can’t even put a mattress in that box. It looks like every other F150.👎
So they did nothing and charged more.
Not only is the price unreal and in wealthy people only category but can only get the problematic hybrid engine in it.

Not a plus one. Just plat.
First thing I’m doing is removing the ‘Platinum’ badging in the front. I don’t need to be peacocking like a woman.
Looks like downgrade from limited to platinum plus
You made me make my choice easier.
Awesome
