Should be paired with highest numerical axle ratio available, rather than their economy gearing. 3:73 would be ideal for getting this heavy beast off the line.

[@CJColvin]

The 5.0L Coyote V8 is definitely my favorite engine. I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 and it roars like a veracious beast.

[@TheTestDrive]

It's a great engine; I think it would be my choice if I was buying a non-raptor F-150. I would have loved it to be a little louder in this 2018 but I think that's part of the design leaning more toward comfort.

[@jaysson1151]

Well well, if isn't Mr CJ! Hey buddy, what happened to your '96 F150? Why did you get a newer truck? I thought you didn't like these modern "plastic" trucks.

[@jaysson1151]

Wait a minute... you posted this comment 5 months ago.... around the same time that we were discussing modern trucks vs older trucks.... what gives with the contradiction?

[@vitasvitas7129]

The stx grill is definitely the best choice

[@crv20051]

Love that line, " I was able to sit so comfortably behind myself." LOL, truck review into the world of spirituality! :-) Nice work, helpful.

[@SamTakana]

Column shifter，bench seats and a V8, what a real truck meant to be.

[@amoswalker6367]

Rob..... I'm picking up this same truck this weekend....Your breakdown was excellent....Thanks man.

[@MrPatCummins]

Thanks for the review. I'm actually going to test drive this same truck (but in black) this week. This video only got me more excited! It's also tough to find reviews on this set up with the bench seat and 18" wheels instead of the sport package. While I'd love to have the center console and sport package, I'm just going to remind myself of how much better this lower Lariat package is than a cloth interior XLT.

[@tedschmitt178]

Little-known fact: the 10-speed was designed for better towing, the 1 mpg improvement was just a bonus.

[@markcalvert2675]

The 5.Oh! It just feels right.

[@poppyneese1811]

My 2.7 will do 0-60/7.0, which feels quick, but don’t howl like a coyote! Great review!

[@American0313]

can't get this same truck via column shifter & painted bumpers correct? You'd have to get the Sport in order to get painted bumpers but in doing so you'd loose the column shifter correct?

[@103eaglecrest]

What is the gear ratio on this truck?

[@gord2358]

Awesome video. I'm sold.

[@TheTestDrive]

Haha thanks! It’s a great truck - I loved having it for the few days that I did

[@matthewhartup941]

looks like a rental... base lariat with a 40/20/40 bench seat and those no smoking stickers on the dash

[@andym1223]

It probably is a loaner, that's what they give to the reviewers as testers.

[@michaelsiountres6556]

Why the hell does that truck not have a full Centre console?

[@tedschmitt178]

Factory option delete.

[@hajjdawood]

Ford recommends minimum 91 octane. Please do a 0-60 with 93 or with E85 (105-115 octane). Once im done breaking in my engine I might do the same

[@jasonjoncas5998]

What you are saying is true they are dropping the entire car line except for the mustang because the f150 is their bread and butter.

[@thatlanceguy]

Very surprised to see column shift in a lariat...

[@TheTestDrive]

thatlanceguy I was too!

[@matthewhartup941]

It's because you rented a plain-jane base fleet truck

[@MrMatt1923]

This is a rental truck. The no smoking sign on the radio gives it away.

[@ZACH_95_]

And...

[@mattiariva8416]

HI Rob, Ford F-150 is the best selling veichle in the USA, therefore you have made a reviews of an american icon, so thanks for this test drive. You give an impeccable and direct idea of this truck and i agree with you: V8 remains the best engine, but the ecoboosts motors are very technological. I was curious about transmission, and with your test I have realised that it's good. Keet it up, approved.

[@TheTestDrive]

mattia riva thanks! 👍

[@skyisdlimit6125]

mattia riva he also needs to make reviews of the most popular burger joint like McDonald’s

[@BuchananZ34]

LOL 4x2 run vs 4 Auto hahaha, it is the same thing unless there is snow or slippery conditions. Also what is the differential ratio in that lariat rental, that makes a difference as well?

[@ZACH_95_]

If you watched the video you would know. 🤡👏🏻

[@FX4AC]

@@ZACH_95_ At which point did he talk about the differential ratio in this rental truck he is driving?

[@michaelspryjr.794]

HID headlights? Nice review sir

[@TheTestDrive]

thanks! and if you're talking about the ones that glow around the edges this one did not have them

[@Davidlopez-uj3iv]

Wouldn’t have that problem with a 1990 ford bronco 5.8

[@jamescameron204]

Why are you yelling?

[@ZACH_95_]

He wasn’t yelling. 🤡👏🏻

[@SantanKGhey1234]

Lariat base trim.... Ughhh...

[@Libertarian_Neighbor]

The front is better, meaner, more aggressive, more elegant, more like two giant lips 👄 on the front a a truck.

[@mitch9521]

If its not a column shift automatic or a manual transmission, its a gimmicky mall crawler. Surprising to see a column shift Lariat though

[@andym1223]

Being a Chevy fan, you would probably expect me to blow this up as a bad truck. But it actually looks decent and I would actually look at one, ONLY because it's the best selling truck in america. I have heard many horror stories about plastic oil pans and stuff like that. Not heard as many thing about the Silverado. I have a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe with only 115,000 miles in excellent condition. Only has old car problems and a tranny rebuild happened a while ago (it's got the bad 4 speed in it). Maybe ford is worth a try, or I should stick with Chevy? Also heard bad things about my Grandfathers ford Aerostar that he had in the 80s up until he bought the tahoe (why he bought a chevy)

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

Drown Out Review - check. Too much talking - check. Too much opinion - check. Makes us wait to get to the 0-60 part using clickbait title - check. Music - check.

[@ZACH_95_]

Then don’t watch his videos ya twat. Clears that up. 👏🏻👏🏻🤡

[@PatrickFCBronsema]

That is no beast

[@ZACH_95_]

It sure is bud. 😂🤡👏🏻

[@MegaBlackley]

I have this truck. It sounds like an old rust bucket in a parking lot. So disappointed in Ford.

[@ZACH_95_]

Hmm 🤔 Everyone I’ve got in doesn’t sound like a rust bucket and the one I just bought doesn’t either. What a stupid comment 😂🤡

[@Denmangoat]

Mine sounds like shit in so many ways what horrible mistake

[@paulhunter9613]

@goat I’m sure it smells like shit also, take a bath..

[@timkalal6983]

2018 5.0 coyote is garbage,I have one, I know.
