2018 Ford F150: More Than Everything You Wanted To Know

[@xXBurntBaconXx]

Everyone bitching about the Ecoboost, you seriously need to go drive one. These engines put out an absolutely absurd amount of power and torque, the are so damn fast. With a tune people are running mid 12s in 4x4 Crew Cab F150 with the 3.5L Ecoboost.

[@Weak_juan]

Yes very impressive until it grenades and especially if its tuned. This is why I wouldn't buy a used ecoboost or even a used truck for that matter.

[@nucl3arfamily906]

See heres the deal....I see past all that. (Just like a lot more people are finally starting to do) Looks like someone is still drinking the Kool Aid. Which is just what Furd wants. Imagine for a second if they took that considerable amount of R&D and put it into making their V8 more efficient and more powerful. Yep, it'd be pretty darn sweet. Instead they took a misguided means to an end. The EcoBust gets them to the required EPA numbers....

[@xXBurntBaconXx]

See here is the thing, I actually work on these trucks (and other trucks) for a living. There is honestly nothing wrong with the Ecoboost. They hold up very well even in the long term. The only people who complain are those online who have never touched it.

[@FusionBoost2.0]

Buddy was a 2012 ecoboost, has 120,000km's on it, tuned since 2 weeks old, still runs low 13's and no issues at all

[@djayt1215]

dude, all vehicles should have a turbo, anyone that has ever driven at elevation or through mountains knows how amazing a turbo feels. I dont care if its gas or diesel, it just has to have one. The 5.3 and 5.7 sound good, but they are anemic at elevation.

[@theejoeylee]

Can't wait until they are 20 years old so i can afford one

piaoliang I agree. All his "customer" talk was annoying. It's not like people don't know about this truck. It's like they believe if they say "We listen to our customers", someone would say, "Hey, they listen to you. Let's buy an F-150!" 🙂

I do like how they acknowledge there are people that still like the V8 I'm one of them I think the V8 could be more efficient with that ten speed transmission Maybe that could prolong its life a little more

I have owned a F150 with 3.5 ecoboost and one with the 5.0. The 5.0 is absolutely the most reliable in my opinion. Not even close. However the power with the 3.5 is amazing.

[@fredmartinez4248]

Since they listen to costumers why there's no HO v8 on raptor just asking most raptor owners are about smiles per gallon?

[@jasonbrubacher5793]

Fred Martinez ..I agree . Did like that they have a supercharged 5.0 in the roush f150 now . I'd go that way over the raptor just to get the 5.0

[@robertwise1411]

I think it's CAFE and cost

[@MDKN22]

Fred Martinez the EcoBoost engine can be tuned and can make more power. I guess that's why it is a 3.5 rather than a 5.0

[@wesleyjackson1036]

But wait a minute they offer simulated engine noise in the raptor. Wouldn't that make you want it more? I mean who really wants to hear the sound of a nice v8 with Magnaflows when your $60k+ truck could sound like the kid's suped up Honda next to you at the stop light.

[@sly9263]

Wesley Jackson the raptor is an off road, sand dune jumping vehicle where 95% of drivers will never even have it off asphalt and 4.9% will never hop a hill with it. The fake cabin noise is the least of the stupidity there.

[@Mag-dn9bk]

A 24 minute video and barely showed the trucks. When the Lightning and Tremor were mentioned would have been a nice time to bring up the Roush and the Nitemare conversions. Unless you're a real Ford guy, these are pretty much a secret.

[@SledgeHammer43]

Why Doesn't Ford offer more color options on the F250 and higher Trucks

[@GaryKetchum808]

Don Hanson Heavy duty is all business. No frills and unnecessary things. If anything, aftermarket is your best bet.

No. Blame it on CAFE.

Great Video. Just leased a 2017 F150 Limited. Love it beyond all the BMW X5 Ms I've owned.The one issue I have with this truck is, WiFi Hotspot not available in the 2017. Question is, can I purchase it as an add on?

[@dante04srt]

$60,000+ for a 1/2 ton truck is ludicrous and the buying public should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing this insanity. It's time to start building quality for the working man at an affordable price.

[@4-LOW]

63% of engines sold in F150 are EcoBoost engines combined. Which means that when you look at individual engine options, the V8 is STILL the most popular. Ford needs to quit trying to spin the numbers and just face the facts.

[@smarticus6384]

OFFRD I think he might have said that the 2.7 EB led the mix. Also don't discount the v6 base on fleet sales. However I would also like to know if the 5.0 outsells the more expensive 3.5 EB.

[@ryanmartinage]

Ford is caged by CAFE laws. They're conforming to it by giving us more towing capacity and overall capability. It would've been easier to just throw the Coyote in with a NA v6 calling it a day.

[@bradnoyes7955]

>30% buy the 2.7 EB, >60% are Ecoboost engines, so that means approx 30% buy the 3.5L EB, which leaves

[@sly9263]

Ford is the Tesla of pickup trucks. All the other manufacturers are just background noise to their specialty.

[@sly9263]

That city mpg claim for the 3.5 eco is really absurd. In the suburbs kicking it around with minimal foot I get 14-15 in 2WD. Also, owned the 6 speed and now the 10 and there is no real world difference in mpg "city" or suburbs. You can always find a gear for low rpm on the highway, so you see maybe 1 mpg gain there. Their advertised numbers are truly based on absurd, sterile, unrealistic scenarios.

I can't believe they didn't talk about the dual injection. Speaking as a mechanical engineer, the fact that ford has gone to dual injection to avoid the carbon build up and issues on valves as well as boost performance; that is the main reason to get these 2018s over an older aluminum bodied model. Not because I can now pick an additional 6 wheel choices. The F150 line really seems to be getting too bloated with options. And too expensive. I also can't believe that anyone actually likes those tacky tailgates on the high end models like the Platinum or King Ranch. Even if I had money burning a hole in my pocket, those tailgates are reason enough to stick with an XLT trim. I also want to say that all the people crying for a Lightening model... what do you need it for?! Throw that 3.5 eco on a regular cab XLT Sport and pick the shortest axle ratio, get a tune running premium gas and I am pretty sure it won't leave you wanting for speed.

[@nucl3arfamily906]

With a fraction of the cost of what they've put into that stupid ecBust, they could have invested in making their V8 more efficient and powerful. Remember that 1-2 mpg better is marketing BS...real world numbers come out the same. Except towing where the V8 edges out the lil V6 in MPGs. EcoBust...complete waste of time and $$ but it was a means to get them to EPA economy numbers....
