2022 Ford F-150 Lariat - REVIEW and POV DRIVE! BETTER Value Than The XLT?

Is the Lariat the most luxurious F150 you can get that doesn't totally break the bank? You get leather, the digital gauge cluster, center fold down arm rest in the rear, and a host of optional equipment.. Is the Lariat the trim level for you? Watch and decide for yourself...

[@HustlerDrill]

A very thorough review of all the features of the F150

[@VolrathMTG]

Love how in-depth you went on this. And you kept everything moving at a nice pace to prevent me from losing interest in such a long review video. The only thing I would of added, is what was lost in the transition from 2021 to 2022. (I.E. ambient lighting inside, such as cup holder lights, glove compartment, and the compartment where the wireless charging station is. Lost the little wheel-sliders under the air vents. The rear license plate lights are halogen now, instead of LED. The temperature knobs no longer display, they moved it to the top of the infotainment system. The head rests no longer rotate.) There may be more, but that's all I can think of at the moment. Just stuff to consider, considering it's almost a step down from 2021, yet the price increased. Thanks again for the good video!

[@703Speed]

That’s a great idea. Thank you !

[@charlieethanseno5306]

all is good except that when it rains, water will enter the passenger side pillar down to the side well. water will also drip in the cabin switches panel. low power when you drive in 10 minute downhill.

[@northlander4370]

Without the chrome appearance package it is just a jazzed up XLT .

[@703Speed]

Nah, you get a few more options that you can choose from and they are nicer options. On an XLT you can get the 8 speaker bang and olefson bang, but on the Lariat you get get the 18 speaker b&o. You get full led headlights and taillights, center fold down armrest in the rear seats on the Lariat, Leather, digital gauge cluster, etc.. I’m sure I’m missing a few things.. But the Lariat is worth it

@@703Speed my 2021 Lariat with the 502s pkg is fairly well loaded ,i also added 360 camera , power tailgate , twenty in wheels to name a few .

[@Spac3Trance]

Are there deer guards available that won’t interfere with the safety sensors? Copilot 360?

[@703Speed]

Honestly, Im not sure. That would be a question for the F150 forums

[@jaylonberrien6083]

I was looking around the F150 forums a few months ago and there was a guy on there that said he found one he liked and just had a reputable body shop move the sensors into the new brush guard and recalibrate them. I'm not too sure how it held up, I haven't been able to find the thread again.

[@Pathfinder-Doc]

I am here just pipe dreaming. I sold my truck to pay for my son's eye surgery. I am a Combat Disabled Veteran. It sucks being stuck at home. I would settle for a beat up 1980's F-150 just to have something I could use to take my son fishing.

[@703Speed]

Thank you for your service. I love the late 80’s F150’s..

[@marty5300]

I thought the lariat high did not include 360 cameras? I think that's a separate add on.

[@703Speed]

You’re right. You have to add the $750 Ford Co Pilot 360 ASSIST 2.0 in order to get 360 camera

[@clearcut6818]

Assist is included in the 502A, 360 camera is extra.

[@fasteddie617]

Just picked mine up today, I opted for the 5.0! Pumped to drive it and see the diff from my 2017 XLT 3.5 Eco.

[@gdjmtravelschannel]

Really enjoyed your thorough review of this F150 Lariat, nicely done but as someone that is looking to use this for towing you missed one of the most important numbers with this opted truck, Payload. Do you have this number available for this truck you tested, thanks.

[@703Speed]

Thank you! I apologize I didn’t add the payload, I will make sure that the next video I make with one of these trucks, that I involve that. I do not have the payload rating for this truck. I do know the payload rating ranges between 1,400-3,325 lbs

[@Cooldibs]

Really hate how they removed the lights for the cup holder and the temp display on the dials

[@703Speed]

A few others have pointed that out as well..

[@nickpatsios407]

Would be nice if they sold an aftermarket ambient light kit for the cupholders

[@asedali6922]

Great review!

[@703Speed]

Thank you!

[@IanReoch]

I bought a 2021 F150 with the 5.0. the 10 speed transmission is trash. To date, I have 4000 miles on it. (ordered in july 2020 took six months to arrive.) Kendall ford has already reset the trans once and I'm bringing it in tomorrow for loss of power problems as well as hard shifting. They told me there ar no parts to repair or replace the trans. They also quipped: "Yeah, those 10 speeds are a problem" They are selling these trucks knowing the 10 speed is a problem and they can't honor the warranty when it fails. Class action law suits are the only avenues for recourse. Don't buy one. Junk.

[@703Speed]

I will say that the 8 speed in the Ram's is FAR superior to the 10 speed in the Ford's

[@paulhunter9613]

I say BS, no dealership will ever say the 10 speeds have problems, I’ve had the ten spd trans in my truck now for 4 yrs and not one prob. You deserve a Honda Ridgeline for your truck needs

[@clearcut6818]

You may have a heavy foot.

Had a 2021 F 150 King Ranch..2 times Fantam battery discharged..Traded it in with 15,000 miles for a 2022 Dodge 1500 Badlander!!! Will not be considering a Ford ever again...

@@Alongfortheride693 man what the fuck ever. I got me a badass truck lifted now. Beautiful, luxurious, fully loaded. The reason they didn't buy it probably was because they couldn't afford it. People always buy beyond their means. Probably got buyers remorse when they fully realized their payments

It's a fake sound it's not real. It's a manufactured sound they pipe it into the cab they want it to sound more like a V8
