2017 Ford F 150 | an average guy's review

[@poppyneese1811]

Average guy you nailed this review and finding out this New York City man is an ole Tn boy at heart is frosting on the cake! Ain't nothing like a full size pickup, my new f150!SXT 4wd crew cab has it all, power, economy and comfort! Getting up early on Sunday morning before the wife and grandkids roll out of bed and we all have to get ready for Church, heading out to Hardee's for some biscuit and gravys for them, putting in a dip of Timberwolf snuff, cranking up the Gathers on the radio, while feeling the cool summer morning air blow through my freshly washed and vacuumed race red truck, well I gotta say life don't get no better than that!, ain't a man anywhere on earth more satisfied and thankful to God for being born! Blessed Blessed Blessed! Proud to be An American and Love my pickup truck!

[@bradkuether3561]

Sweetness. I am a first time truck owner, and I bought the same truck! Love my F150 STX. And love the review, as I am just an average guy as well.....

[@poppyneese1811]

Average guy that does a way above average review! Love watching and rewatching this review.

[@IIAdnan93II]

Great review, it's really no surprise that this truck is the most popular truck in the US!

[@averageguytested]

+#word thanks! Adnan Yusuf

[@poppyneese1811]

I hate to make another comment, but the reason I guess I love this review so much is you talking about your grandpa, described him as simple and elegant, what a beautiful description of the man, made my eyes water a little, I wonder did he ever get to NY City to see you,,,,,,I ain’t never been to NY City, really can’t even imagine that many folks in one place.

[@averageguytested]

Thank you for your wonderful comment and question. My Pau Pau did get to NY once a very long time ago. He drove with the family all the way from TN. I don’t think he enjoyed the destination, but he loved the ride. He was a great man. Thanks for watching!

[@birdsbeak96]

Awesome review! Picking mine up tomorrow!

[@averageguytested]

+sweet! Enjoy! Richard M. Sessa

Thanks, brother!

4:08 .... OMG! ME TOO!!!!!!.... I have a 2018 Larriat and I drive with my hand right there ALL the time. I love Honda vehicles too, my wife has a Honda and it has that one bar that prevents me from holding the wheel right there. I love my truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great vid!

[@Kiddomike]

I laughed when you said 'tow those FJ Cruisers that get stuck in the mud.' Because I drive one. By the way, do you have a review of that, Tony? I'm curious what The Average Guy's thoughts on it.

[@ramoncarter6585]

I'm into pickups but digging the F150 it looks awesome in style not sure about ride quality but do love the looks of this truck a pretty truck.

[@averageguytested]

+it is a great looking truck. 👍🏽Ramon Carter

[@666dynomax]

ride is choppy... i think they're getting pretty light... might be tires...

[@JaxWatchesandEDC]

@@666dynomax I've noticed with the goodyear A/T kevlar tires, the ride is a bit more stiff than with other tires. My truck also has the 20" wheels, so double whammy. I think with 18" wheels and something like a Duratrac would change the ride dramatically. On the other hand, you would lose a tad bit of handling.

[@kurtlovef150]

I've had one since March 2017. This is the model I got. But I got the bigger mirrors and larger screen and other little things. But the one thing that I REALLLY hate. Is how when u take off u can feel it jerk into gear for some reason. And if u gotta flip it in reverse in a middle of a intersection u gotta come to a full stop. Engage and then wait about 3 secs before u can take off again

[@averageguytested]

Crazy.

[@kurtlovef150]

@@averageguytested do you have any idea what that could be?

[@marvinmcmiller6238]

First time seeing your video. Good review.

[@averageguytested]

Thank you!!!

[@sfcjerryharris]

I have a 17 5.0 king ranch 2wd and I love her. Gotta a 5 star tune and I can run with a ss camero

[@averageguytested]

Love the King Ranch trim. Enjoy! But why not a 4x4?

[@sfcjerryharris]

@@averageguytested didn't have one in stock

[@tclarke971]

Great review.

[@averageguytested]

Thanks!!

[@IronCross82]

what I was trying to say is you have one of the most basic F-150s in a SuperCrew you can get

[@averageguytested]

+I know. 👍🏽IronCross82

Great review Love my 2014 F150.

[@simonvance8054]

Love your comments, I have wanted a pickup truck since I was a kid..hopefully next year but probably will go a Silverado. Thanks!

[@averageguytested]

Thanks!

[@averageguytested]

Check out the RAM too! Sweet!

[@simonvance8054]

Yeah brother they are all awesome, cheers!

[@tj61281]

Simon Vance if u go Silverado dont get the 5.3 they'll eat fuel pumps and still have problems with there fuel management system take my word I have one and wished I would have went with the FORD

[@simonvance8054]

Thanks, I'm liking the F-150s and Ram 1500s more now so it's all up in the air..

[@skyisdlimit6125]

You should do comparison reviews. I like the the more reclined seat in the crewman Tundra. The f150 isn't as comfortable in the rear for longer drive

[@averageguytested]

+good idea👍🏻You Tube Man

[@stevew6910]

Never thought about it till you mentioned it . I grew up with my dad owning a truck . And you was right to say in the 70s not that many around . A lot of great times riding in the back every where . Now they have laws against it 😕

[@averageguytested]

Yup - riding in the back was so cool - but pretty dangerous too. 😂

[@poppyneese1811]

By the way wasn't the fall that got her, it was the overloaded coal truck tailgating Popaw!

[@averageguytested]

[@Kentucky-ev7bd]

Curious how its working out for you. I got a nice 2016 and its had all kinds of weird problems. Oh, and nice hops..

[@averageguytested]

I don’t actually own it. I just do reviews. What kinds of problems. Sorry to hear that.

[@markbuilt]

I totally enjoyed your review of this truck . I have a 2012 model and the seat is a problem there too and ford knows I 'm 144,000 plus to get Ford to look or fix it . not a safety or recall item . the steering rack went out of mine with 76,000km and a repair bill of 2 grand ( not so Ford tough )

[@averageguytested]

+yikes! I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for watching 👍🏽markbuilt

[@markbuilt]

Yes you nailed tthe main issue with the Ford Truck . The drivers seat is bad . The truck over all does the job mine is great pulling equipment trailers 22 and 24 feet good brakes . the second is no back up camera , would be nice , even cheap Dodge ( Ram ) puts 1 in . I liked your review

[@averageguytested]

+thanks!!!markbuilt

[@rbear4574]

How about a longer bed to haul 4x8 sheets of plywood or dry wall ? like the older fords trucks had.

[@averageguytested]

you can get it with the longer bed

[@richardburton6182]

I know people hate these questions....but what camera do you use?

[@averageguytested]

+I use multiple cameras - GoPro for the exterior driving shots - Canon's XA30 for the bulk of the shots and Canon's VIXIA RF72 for tight spaces and my 📲 for quick shots. Richard Burton

[@pedrofernandez3893]

Lowered reliability most likely due to info-tainment system and that turbo engine.

[@averageguytested]

+makes sense. I'll check. pedro fernandez

[@noco2095]

I love my 2017 f150 special edition sport magnetic grey

[@averageguytested]

+ok, I'll reach out to Honda Guillermo Ortiz

[@UltraSS-nj8kd]

chevy colorado/gmc canyon standard backup camera all around

[@birdsbeak96]

While they're nice to have, if you can't drive the truck without the camera (or any car for that matter) you probably shouldn't be driving at all...

[@UltraSS-nj8kd]

Richard M. Sessa ..in todays world with kids as young as 5 glued to a cell phone not to mention teens under 5' (tail gate height on mine), they are never paying attention & the trucks being paper thin metal also aluminum & polyurethane bumpers when backing up to a trailer can do major damage with just a slight mistake. Its not about driving it more about safety. Bonus too you can check on a trailer load on a without even pulling over that's pretty handy

[@birdsbeak96]

Very good point! Always gotta look out for the little guys (and the trailers too)!

[@kalwillis8717]

needs a sprayed in bed liner

[@averageguytested]

Don’t they all?

[@kalwillis8717]

[@poppyneese1811]

By the way, put the tail gate up, that's how we lost my Momaw! She was old and when her beer fell out of the poke and started to roll out the bed,,,,,,,,,,,well,,,,,guess it was just Momaw's time.

[@geofillingame2335]

great review ford owes you a big check lol

[@averageguytested]

They do. 🤣✅

[@noco2095]

I love your video

[@bryane2857]

Ram has the best ride, but you pay with lowest tow rating because of it

[@averageguytested]

+I didn't know that. I love them both👍🏽Bryan E

[@e.simons6964]

Old? Your just a pup! I too like the XLT model. It's the "just right" one for me. Make it the supercab with the 6.5 bed and 4X4 V-8 and that new 10 speed? Oh yea! I thought the back up camera was supposed to be a requirement as per the federal Gov regs. But I maybe mistaken...

[@averageguytested]

+I believe so after 2018 E. Simons

[@885chris]

the sad part is when we were kids we could ride in the back of the pickup. now it is against the law how sad

[@averageguytested]

That’s because of all the people texting and driving, road rage, etc. thanks for watching 👍🏽

[@pedrofernandez3893]

I do prefer a good root beer or cream soda than the Mex coke actually.

[@IronCross82]

Do you believe everything you read? An also you do the basic of the basic trucks it doesn't get any lower than what you have there for a SuperCrew.

[@averageguytested]

+I don't read much. 😂 I LOVE the F-150 IronCross82

just out of curiosity. u have a thing against the FJ/toyota's? Or that was just the first vehicle ur brain gave ya? lol. I don't own an FJ. I just luv toyota's.

theMediaMart Huh? Also, why didn't you test drive the F150 with the 5.0L Coyote V8?

[@9999plato]

Oh yeah it's a great truck... if you don't mind that there are thousands of vehicles that have terrible electrical problems because of how everything is routed through the infotainment control center. Look around the web and read the complaints. Terrible. It's not just the Trucks, it's all Ford vehicles.

[@averageguytested]

+really? Fatal flaw? 9999plato

[@standaniels6683]
