2018 FORD F-150 LARIAT OVERVIEW: STANDARD & OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

[@davecruz800]

Best review I've seen. I was hesitant to watch it due to the length but I found it to be so informative. I am working with a friend/dealer here in California and can now give him the exact specs that I want now knowing what all of the packages are and what they come with and what stand alone options there are. I have scoured the internet over the last 6 months to try and understand the different packages and what each option actually is and it's been so confusing. This has been the most helpful. I agree, Ford needs to give this guy a raise or a promotion or both. Unfortunately, I will not be buying from him but he definitely helps sell trucks for other dealers and deserves credit for that.

[@fanyadejesus7971]

OUTSTANDING REVIEW! Now I finally understand all of the features. I have been reading reviews, and descriptions of features for weeks without much clarity. Thanks for helping to bring clarity to these items. Now, I know exactly what I want to get in my truck. Much appreciated.

[@xbanker7102]

Yeah this guy is amazing. It's refreshing to see someone really take the time to learn and know their stuff.

[@dstadt71]

Absolutely incredibly thorough video. I'm looking at getting a used F150 and you definitely sold on the Lariat trim! Thank you!

[@dstadt71]

A week after writing this comment I ended up getting a 2018 Lariat 3.5l FX4 with 20in wheels....Magma Red. Absolutely love it!

[@rebels302]

Just appreciate someone explaining it correctly when you think about it makes sense teach the homelink system the code the remote is sending then teach the opener the new transmitter

[@redd7188]

Well done once again sir. No one and I mean no one gives a detail review like he does. He sales trucks for other dealerships by making these videos and Ford Motor Company should put him in their marketing department and give him a nice raise.

[@longmcarthurford]

redd7188 Thank you, I appreciate your comments. I will do free delivery to any where in the United States, pass it on, lol.

[@tigahshark]

Long McArthur even Hawaii?

[@goosetheboss1655]

Really like how detailed these videos are. Definitely helped me make a decision buying a truck!

[@davidmorgan7370]

Thank you for this video. Seriously answered every question I had on what packages and such I wanted to get on my future Lariat. Keep up the great work. Again, thank you!

[@leelovellette8133]

Have the same truck, that interior is sharp! Nicest truck I’ve ever been in.

[@sherryYYC]

Wow. This was long but by far the best video I have seen on this particular trim model. Thank you for taking the time to do this video! It has helped me with my decision to buy this model.

[@randyharrisphoto]

Thanks for the great video and information. Best video regarding the F-150 and all the options.

[@Joe-lo9kp]

This is a fabulous video that cove4rs everything available on a Top of the Line Lariat. This is great information that covers everything and I for one would be studying this video prior to visiting the Ford Dealership showroom. The review is absolutely intertaining and the guy that feels it to be boring is out of his mind. I believe that I will be interested in a complete fully equipped Lariat with all the bells and whistles but I think I will have to have one patient salesperson to assist me with my new truck.

[@longmcarthurford]

Thank you, we are very patient with our customers, you are spending a lot of money and have the right to get exactly what you want. I would recommending ordering one. If you struggle finding a dealer locally to take great care, then reach out to us, we will deliver for free as well.

[@kritsadaod]

So beautiful I Love Ford F-Series, From Thailand.

[@williamhess7040]

This video is great, review it and you will know more than the salesman at your local dealer.

[@wernerostwald287]

Thanks for this excellent video!

[@quinncolby]

Great Video I'm shopping for a used 2018 F150 and it's hard to know what your really getting this is the best video so far. You did say the 3.5 ecoboost will tow any 5th wheel. I would not recommend that great video anyway.

[@michalp2362]

This is the type of guy I’d like to meet at the dealership lot. Last time I went to check out new RAM 1500 the salesman who showed me the truck was trying to convince me that this Ram is only 2WD but it has eco boost so it’s like having 4WD 🥺

[@Hwoodification]

Great tutorial. Get some LOGO work on your back walls to cancel out the incredible white scene we are viewing... good job!

[@christopherdoyle1390]

I love that interior color

[@halcongc]

Hello, your video is very good !. I have a question I have a ford f150 lariat sport and I remember that the gear level leds turned on at night and now they do not work, they tell me in the ford dealer that they should not turn on, is this correct?

[@Nightshade_6.7]

Fantastic video and very informative. I will be happy with a lariat with the sport package

[@jakeschuberth2624]

Great Job , really clears thing up for me , well done Thanks !!!!!

[@magicsashplaysmc4636]

I feel like at this point the lariat is just so close to the king ranch package, and that package is just slightly more aimed towards luxury and comfort and it just seems more worth it to get a king ranch

[@thomaszwart1263]

Would have liked a view of bench seat in Lariat, for those of us who need 6 passenger capability. Otherwise best “options” Ford F-150 video out there.

[@longmcarthurford]

Sorry, I didn't have one in stock at the time of this recording.

[@davidmckee3017]

Excellent!

[@goosetheboss1655]

Great detailed review. Very informative

[@olhesty2196]

Outstanding review!

[@12mrcool1]

I love how you get the regular, can change it to chrome with a package, then the next package changes it to the same as your body paint, then the next one completely gets rid of everything and looks entirely different. Seems like a waste of money, unless I’m missing something?

[@HawgSnatchin]

Great video, had to laugh at the chevy commericals youtube plays at several intervals during your video

[@marlonm396]

Hi.. I ran into your awesome video. It is now November, 2019 and ran into a net new 2018 at my local dealer. It is the Lariat with the 502A package. Question: does the stereo system have any aux plugs to connect external devices? Or a USB plug connect a flash drive with music? I think the trend it is NOW Bluetooth connectivity. :-(

[@longmcarthurford]

It will not have aux jacks but there will be usb ports.

[@timbee72]

Great job and very informative

[@jeffb4229]

Good review, but I disagree that the 3.5 liter ecoboost will tow any 5th wheel trailer. 5th wheel trailers require at least a 3/4 ton truck. There may be a few exceptions, but generally speaking, 1/2 ton trucks aren't adequate or safe to pull 5th wheel trailers.

[@FireDrillNinja]

Does the XL trim come with the Key-less Entry Key pad ? is it an option, or is it only available on XLT trim levels and above ? Thanks

[@longmcarthurford]

It is available with the 101A Mid Equipment group as part of the power equipment group.

[@vcamcoding]

So nice 😊

[@underratedcritic1983]

What's the deal with the whip antenna? Does it actually serve a purpose?

[@Duramaxpower95]

Hi thank you for a very great detailed video and information I am really considering on getting a lariat and just wanted to learn more about it and I was wondering does the lariat offer the messaging driver and passenger seat?

[@longmcarthurford]

Not on a Lariat, look at King Ranch, Platinum, or Limited

[@frankquezada5490]

What is the length bumper to bumper on the 2018 Super Crew 5.5 bed? By the way fantastic video, full of good info.

[@timbartz]

231.9

[@frankquezada5490]

I'm in a bind, my garage is 232"......My 04 Lariat fits with about 8" to spare, thanks.

[@maxwarner4888]

Ok I’m confused I have a 2018 Lariat and I do not have navigation

[@timbartz]

Then you probably have a 500A or 501A, it is optional on those equipment groups, standard on the 502A equipment group.

[@dannyboymndz]

Which is a nice lariat package with 6 seat which I could get raptor 6 seats

[@marcobala9284]

What package is the gray truck

[@longmcarthurford]

Special Edition package

[@mauricewalker3597]

What's the difference between f150 king ranch luxury and f250 king ranch luxury

[@longmcarthurford]

On the Super Duty, Ford packages the packages differently. There isn't a King Ranch Luxury Equipment Group. There is a King Ranch Ultimate Package that includes BLIS w/cross traffic alert, LED Fog Lights, LED Taillights, Quad Beam LED Headlights, Twin Panel Moonroof, Multi-Contoured Seats, Tailgate, Power Deployable Running Boards.

[@dorisdisalvo4860]

Do you have any info on 2019 f150. John

[@longmcarthurford]

I do not, I like to do my videos on vehicles that have hit our dealership. We are a few weeks away from being able to order 2019s.

[@JDMHero47]

Can you get a column shifter in the lariat? I don't like the console shifters at all, so it's kind of a deal breaker... =(

[@longmcarthurford]

I know if you go with the 40/20/40 front bench seat you will get the column shifter.

[@JDMHero47]

Long McArthur drat, I wanted it with the center console, like in the stx package.

[@fununderthesun3209]

have yall done a review on just a regular xlt truck?

[@longmcarthurford]

Not yet, I'm waiting for some base XLT trucks to show up at the dealership.

[@fununderthesun3209]

ok.I had a customer buy a 2018 xlt with the 302A package and twin panel moon roof want to send him a link to this video he could watch on his spare time. I'm new to ford dealership and product found your page to be a great rss for learning about features and options. probably best informative ford product youtube page i've come across!!!

[@MikeNaples]

Excellent vid! I have a question. Is the physical size (width and length) of the F150 Lariat the same as the F250 Lariat? I have a 2016 Supercab F150 5.0 Lariat (6.5 Box) which barely (I mean barely) fits in my garage. Height is not an issue. I am considering upgrading to a 2017 or 2018 (when they come out) F250 6.7 Lariat if it is the same size as my current truck.

[@longmcarthurford]

2018 F-150 Super Crew length is 244, width is 80. 2017 F-250 Crew Cab length is 266, width is 80.

[@MikeNaples]

Appreciate your response. Wow! Almost 2ft longer, def would hang out the back of my garage. Guess I need a new plan. Thanks again.

[@hima-iv5mc]

mike naples how much will you sell me your old one

[@MikeNaples]

UrBoyBaughettes, appreciate the interest but I will likely keep my current truck since I will not replace it with an F250 which will not fit in my garage.

[@frankquezada5490]

Is this the 5.5 bed?

[@thisismecantuseeitsacz5823]

What about the diesel engine

[@longmcarthurford]

Diesel Engine was a later 2018 model year addition, after this video was made. If you are looking for update 2019 model year information, look for our 2019 Ford F-150 videos on our channel.

[@nikkiperkins881]

Is it possible to get a stripe delete on the special edition package? In other words; if you like all the features- but don’t want the stripes, can they be omitted and yet still get the rest of the features in the package?

[@sundevil98]

If not an option (doubtful it is), you can use a hair dryer to remove the decals - which is probably what the dealer would charge you to do.

[@rodbutler2822]

I'm 62years old and probably won't even figure out half these buttons

[@thedynamitedmoney]

Ford definitely needs to replace the little dashboard screen with a full panel LED display like the 2019 RAM 1500, it looks sick. I love the 2018 ford lariat v8, but that 2019 RAM might sway me away from ford.....🤔

[@websterslaughter5948]

TheDynamiteDmoney Ford actually has a bigger screen but it's split up. Ford has a 8 inch screen on the dash called a productivity screen and another 8 inch screen on the center. Put both together and you have a 16 inch screen. The dodge has a 12 inch screen

[@nmhvactech5474]

Why? I’ve had two different dodge trucks, an ‘06 2500 Cummins quad cab and a ‘08 1500 4.7 quad cab. I just think dodge makes cheap plastic interiors and cheap metal bodies. I think they look good, but in the long run, Dodge’s just suck!! They break down to much and are cheaply made. My ‘99 F-150 has never had any major issues, just maintainence. I’m going to stick with Ford.

[@thomashollingshad4899]

uuuhhh no no no , no leaking sun roof

[@steven2212]

Great review, informative. Edit it down, too long.

[@marcobala9284]

Pound ft? Lol

[@longmcarthurford]

Many auto magazines and companies will list is ft-lb, lb-ft. I will do the same sometimes, it just rolls out of my mouth and I go with it. Technically, it is lb-ft as referenced by this article, macsmotorcitygarage.com/foot-pounds-and-pound-feet-whats-the-difference/

[@foundscott9852]

This has to be the most boring review on KZbin.
