Hey Justin, love the videos and glad to see more 2021 vids coming out. Does the team have anything planned that addresses the nuances on a 2021 powerboost, i.e. differences on the exhaust coupling.

[@michael1988CA]

I have a new 2021 F150 3.5 Ecoboost STX and my first mod was a JB4 “tuner”. It made a HUGE difference and allows me to monitor all my parameters on my phone, real time. Though not a true tuner, I highly recommend. Next mod is in the mail and that is the CVF charge air cooler.

[@Dwalley24]

2.5 inch level with Toyo 35s and tinted windows were my first mods. Looks amazing in my opinion

[@Alucio97]

Finally a video on the 21 f150 thank you 🙏🏼

[@americantrucks]

Thanks for watching, Alec! We appreciate it! -Zach

[@nelsondelgado5610]

Seriously!!! Hard to find customer modding vids of the new 21 and 22 single cab shortbeds.. that’s for sure.

[@mcmuskie2563]

I had Weather Tech recently, they fit well, but I found them hard to clean. They would tend to be grayish, as hard as I tried I couldn’t get it back to black even when spraying with armour all etc. This time I choose to go with Huskey, far better, not as rigid and so far they clean up much better. I’d recommend the Husky brand of items I bought for my 2021 F150. Mud Flaps, Bed Liner, Rear Wheel Liner (Splash Shield), Floor Mats.

[@kentapley9315]

I am not even a Ford man but these new F150 are by far the best looking truck made right now. Stock or modified.

[@cowtownokla]

I have one with a 5.0 10 speed. Its the noisiest powertrain I have ever owned. It constantly makes you think something is about to fail. Ford says it's "normal"...

[@-TheRealScubasteve-]

@@cowtownokla that’s weird. My 21 3.5 is super quiet.

[@kentapley9315]

@@cowtownokla friend has a 2020 5.0 that makes almost a knocking sound on right side. After going to several dealers and online research all said pretty much same thing. Something about new high pressure fuel system and that was normal. He has 67000 on it with no issues so maybe that’s right.

[@oskardagrouch0812]

About time they did a video for the 2021.

[@americantrucks]

Patience is key! Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@justinrenda4451]

Get the rear wheel well liners! Underrated and really cleans up the look.

[@larrybomber83]

Picked up the new truck on Thursday, and took it to the shop and added side steps and Tonneau Cover on Tuesday. 21 STX needs side steps unless you are taller than 6 feet!

[@brucesummers7448]

My first mod was to add 3" convex mirrors at the upper inside edge of both mirrors. Next was to add a package of radiator stop leak to the glove box. It came with running boards but not mud flaps so these were an important addition. The tires that are supposed to be off-road ones are not so these needed to be upgraded with Nitto Terra Grapplers after installing the mud guardds. Another import mod was adding a rear seat storage bin so important items were safe in the cab but also out of sight. Next key addition is a truck cap which protects gear in the bed from the weather and from thieves and doubles the volume of what can be put inside the bed.

[@leo-ub6nb]

If there's only two things I would recommend that you HAVE to get for any truck, it would definitely be a tonneau cover and some all weather floor mats. The floor mats will apply to ALL vehicles, I can NOT have a vehicle without them. Keeps your OEM carpet clean and they are sooo much easier to clean!

[@americantrucks]

Floor mats are an amazing addition! They definitely help your interior stay like-new for years to come! -Zach

[@r.dfordtech5996]

I love this store. U should definitely let people know they will def need an allignment and probably caster camber kit

[@kyleneal839]

Just got my tri fold tonneau cover from you guys for my 2021. Will be getting more goodies to come

[@americantrucks]

Thanks for watching and we hope you love the cover, Kyle! Appreciate it! -Zach

[@cowtownokla]

I would add "Skid Plates" to protect all the plastic components Ford has added. If you are heading out to the deer woods and knock a hole in your plastic oil pan that makes for a bad day...

[@MrHubbard738]

I just bought a new 2021 f-150 2 weeks ago. My first mod is a roll up tonto cover, followed by the Stainless steel door pillars and then I like the crome F150 letters for the tail gate, also the crome looking side mirrors covers. I also like to add a crome cover to my gas tank door. And 1 other thing is the 12 inch antenna for the FM radio. All this runs less than 500 dollars and just high lights the blue truck just enough. I think I may try the 2 1/2 inch leveling part for the front end of my truck that was your first mod. on this video. Keep up the great video's please

[@dreamintree41]

I went with a 6in lift for my 2021 f150. Sitting on 35*12.50*20. Looks great. Next up will be an exhaust system

[@ryanhaiker7373]

Wahoo! Atturo Trail Blade XT’s! Nice choice! I have a set on my ‘19 F150 XLT. I definitely recommend them and yes they are very well priced.

[@michael1988CA]

In the future could you guys do a top five drivetrain or performance orientated mods? Myself, I am less of an appearance person and more interested in the mechanical upgrades.

[@jmilesfox]

What if I don't want to remove my "two nuts?"

[@HungJai]

I'm waiting for my 2021 F150... Already purchased a tonneau cover Retrax Pro XR Waiting to be installed... You guys need to do more MOD videos for 2021 :)

[@americantrucks]

We definitely will! Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@HungJai]

@@KeminTravels I ordered in June, got a VIN in July Suppose to be built in September 23 last time I checked.... Not sure if that has been delayed as I'm on vacation and I don't care right now haha I got the power boost not sure if that matters and I live in Toronto Canada

[@-TheRealScubasteve-]

What’s up with those weather techs? You’re saying they fit like a glove, but then it’s hanging over and looks super sloppy. Wonder if they fixed that yet?

[@davidhall2039]

We need some tow mirrors released any idea where they will?

[@Blackhawk2653]

Im surprised nobody had mentioned getting the under carriage sprayed to prevent rust.

[@zephranjbone6533]

I have a 21 f150. If I level it off 2.5in. Would I need to get an alignment??

[@reissallan]

Stupid question, but why aren't the trucks level from the factory? I mean there has to be a (logical) reason, right? What is it?

[@LandParkColby]

I think mostly for fuel mileage and for Ford they really level out with full payload ... If you level the front, then put 1500 pounds in the bed, you will be looking at sky as you drive.

[@paulhunter9613]

It takes much less than 1500 lb to see the sky

[@LandParkColby]

Everything looks great, EXCEPT - those Weathertech mats fit like S#wt ... huge gaps, etc. The Ford and Husky rubber mats truly conform to the floor and door sills. Weathertech has lost their edge in my view, used to buy their product for all aspects of my trucks - but like the mats in your truck, their stuff just does not fit as well as it used to and the "hard" plastic of the mats are not as good as the softer rubber one's from FMC and Husky.

[@Steven-zg5bq]

husky is best, weather tech no more!!!

[@Hazardhemi]

I upgraded my wheels 😎 so I got that covered plus I already ordered the roush cold air intake from you got that Installed and now the level kit

[@richarded22]

I want a brush gaurd but have a front camera are they going to make one that won't block it

[@EPICJONTUAZON]

can you fit 33s without a level?

[@peytonmann11]

Yes, I have them on mine

[@tmichell66]

You guys gonna check out the MBRP or Flowmaster outlaw catbacks soon?

[@americantrucks]

Pretty sure we have one or two videos in the works! Keep an eye out! -Zach

[@tmichell66]

@@americantrucks Thank you Zach.

[@jesseontiveros9074]

I just installed my new MBRP Single Muffler & Exhaust on my new F-150 2021 4x4 and it is amazing!!

[@Hazardhemi]

Does anyone know how to display the race flag 🏁 on the cluster board? I believe for track time?

[@Junior-xe1jt]

Can you do a haul for a 2017 f150 2.7 eco boost pls 🥺🥺🥺

[@trentroberts7608]

Can anyone tell me if the 2019 jlt cold air intake from the 5.0 will work with the 2021 5.0? I can't seem to find a definitive answer

[@hernandovasquez6825]

i think, the grill of the planitum version can be awesome

[@faisalgill4100]

My truck has a tailgate spoiler, will the tonneau cover fit?

[@blitzkrieg-gaming]

Can we get an exhaust video for the 2.7 eco boost with different brands and sound clips?

[@americantrucks]

Already did one! Check out the following link! -Zach kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXXThGOsZrCaec0

[@BoostedBoyd]

Lol save your money

[@txphoenix69]

I would love to see a newer 2021 F-150 4x4 xlt step tailgate getting a light bar installed. There seems to be a piece I don't see on any videos that is in the way of putting a tailgate light bar in place. Been told it deals with the inside of the tailgate step. Would like to know best options.

[@txphoenix69]

UPS failed me in my quad cover from leer but I am told they will be replacing it. UPS delivered in the rain and ruined some of the rubber edging due to soaked box damaged. After mud flaps, ranchhand brush guard, hood deflector, weather mats, I really want that tailgate light next lol.

[@Steven-zg5bq]

just sold my 21 lariat with big eco boost for a 21 lariat w/small eco boost.......I cant believe its the same truck....rides like a Cadillac, has more power, 800 pounds lighter, fast as hell.....best decision I've ever made

[@mcmuskie2563]

800 lbs lighter?? How so?

[@donsimpson3935]

great, just trying find a new 2021 f150

[@williamMikmaq222]

What the F150 needs is a 5.8 and a 6 speed! The 5.0 Coyote is lacking at highway speeds with the 10spd tranny, Red light to red light the coyote digs out of the hole nicely in sport mode but 85mph to 120mph on the highway is a major disappointment. And that’s if you can get to 120.

[@Alexanderofthe9th]

Why the hell would you wanna be going 120mph in a f150 that weighs 5k 🙄🤦‍♂️

[@williamMikmaq222]

For the same reason Ford sells F150 trucks with 700+HP.

[@Alexanderofthe9th]

Finally seeing some new stuff on the 21, would be nice if it wasn’t the same junk we see tossed on every single build you publish. Show us something new!

[@americantrucks]

We have something else up our sleeves, don't you worry. 😉 Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@rypatrick]

Great video! Does this specific Magnaflow exhaust system come with any other tips other than polished?

[@cliffmorrison1130]

What do you think about the Gen 4 5.0 V8 so far? Any concern about long term reliability because of the cylinder deactivation and a belt driven oil pump?

[@Jakereviewsall]

I think the only thing out of this I would do is a cover, I have the 2022 hybrid powerboost so I do not want to mess with the exhaust or anything.

[@performancedetailz7827]

If you need a 21 Ecoboost to play with I’m local 🤫

[@fullarmorofgod5459]

I purchased open box fender flares only because they were described as "like new." They are not like new, one is warped and does not sit flush against the vehicle. And now I can only get a store credit because it was an open box. I will not do business again with a garbage company that misleads its customers.

[@chipmulligan8963]

Wow, look at that rust!

[@justin5345]

Was thinking the same thing , my 2011 has zero rust . Crazy how they haven’t addressed that problem . You can say it doesn’t affect performance , it’s just cosmetic. Why should a new truck have rust on it though , some of these trim levels get up to 70k!

[@JR-mc1rn]

Just me, being an old fart….tonneau cover, yes; floor mats, yes; exhaust, a big no. Instead, put money in Bilstein ride height adjustable shocks for the front lift, and Roadmaster active suspension in the rear. Also, spray in bed liner and rubber floor mat.

[@JR-mc1rn]

That’s rubber BED mat .

[@americantrucks]

To each their own! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

[@tobyallen1775]

First mod, a v8.

[@americantrucks]

Good thing our 2021 is a 5.0L! 😉 Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@rayrussell6258]

Shoulda left the original tires and wheels on it. Those replacements are awful.... too noisy and butt ugly. Not what any of us need on a truck when fuel is heading toward $5/gallon, either. And when I'm on the go all day, I don't need a cutesy tonneau cover wasting my time, when what I need to haul back there is 3 inches too "tall" to fit under it. I want the bed open .... I can toss things in and grab them as necessary, without all the fooling around. Rear wheel well liners help eliminate pinging stone and rock noise/damage, and sheet metal rust that follows. That would be my personal first mod.

[@fhoofe3245]

dumb things to spend money on, aside from floor mats

[@americantrucks]

Thanks for watching regardless. 😉 -Zach

[@bluemut55]

Best mod I got for my F150 was a trade in for a RAM.

[@mcmuskie2563]

Hahaha, big mistake.

[@bluemut55]

@@mcmuskie2563 I took my Ford back and the dealership gave me my money back and sold me a Ram from their other dealership. The sales manager said "go behind the dealership and see what the techs drive" I did and there were 5 Rams parked there.They couldn't fix the 3.5 turbo dead miss.

[@crusadesgeneral]

Completely ripped me off. Sent me a broken mirror and then wouldn’t send me a replacement . Horrible business do not buy from them
