That generation F-150 is THE best looking F-150 in my opinion. Looking at a 2018 2.7. Always wanted a truck, this looks like the perfect one. Thanks for the video!

Thanks Ken. It's one of the top five vehicles I have owned.

Thanks for watching. I wish mine only had 26K on it. I'm almost 134K. Just renewed my extended warranty. Almost seems like a waste of money. It's good to have the protection though.

We have mostly identical trucks. Mine is race red and Iove it. I tow our 6,000 lb camper with no issues. Fuel milage goes way down but that is expected. Mine came with the key pad to unlock the doors on the driverside pillar. It was a mistake from the factory. Didnt work at first but the dealer went in and programmed it into the truck and it is a great feature.

@azdesertdog 9 ай бұрын

That red color has 4 more HP. It's weird even pulling my SXS it pulls the mileage down significantly. Still around 15MPG which isn't horrible.

I bought a 2016 F150 2.7 new and now it has 105k miles. I have not had any problem with intake valves. The only problem I had with the engine was a $20 temp went bad @ 69k miles. My front rotors went bad @ 2,000 miles because the pads were defective. I had to replace a right front caliper @ 68k miles. Ford went to port injection to help emission. This give the fuel more time to mix with air.

Thank you. Up until 2021 Ford built the best quality trucks. I wish I bought one earlier with tbe issues I had with my Chevy.

2.7 is an incredible engine. In my opinion it doesn't get the recognition it deserves unless you've driven one.I had one in 2015 was an excellent engine. My current F150 is a 3.5 because I couldnt get the options I wanted with the 2.7. I do love 3.5 though!! My next one will be 2.7 if I can ,mostly because of its fuel efficiency. Great engine more than enough for most of us

@azdesertdog 2 ай бұрын

I in a couple years the 2.7 will need to be replaced weather I like it or not. It'll have close to 200K. From people I know the build quality from Ford sadly isn't the same. Take care. Thanks for watching.

I liked the smoothness torque and economy of my 2017 STX, I bought a 23 STX, this time super cab, front bench, rubber floor 6.5 bed FX4 with 3:73 rear and in econ mode I’m getting around 21.5 mpg in town and bumping 24 on the highway.

@azdesertdog 2 ай бұрын

It's hard to beat and Ecoboost. Power and economy. I think the STX is the best value out there.

I have a 2019 F150 Crew Cab 2.7 4x4, currently have 65k miles on it. I’ve had absolutely no issues. I live in South Jersey and my 2002 F150 and 2001 Expedition both have a lot of rust underneath, so in 2020 I started using fluid film on the undercoat. So far I have absolutely no rust, and they salt these roads pretty heavily in the winter. It’s about $320 a year, but so far seems worth it. I average 20.4mpg on “Normal” driving and I’ve gotten up to 25.9 on the highway doing 75mph and below. My only gripe is that cheap splash shield, I refuse to buy a new one, I just have zip ties holding it up on my $45k vehicle 🙄. I love the remote start, I really like being able to use the app to start it, schedule starts, etc. it rides as smooth as any car I’ve ever had, it’s my favorite car I’ve ever had to be honest. I still love the 2002 F150 body style, how that drove, it has 235,600 miles and still going strong, my oldest son drives it every day. I’m about to pay off this one in June, so hopefully I can get as many miles as I have on the 2002 F150 and 2001 Expedition (still have that also, I drive it several times a week just because). Anyway, thanks for the review. I was really leery about this 2.7 back in 2019, but I got the local dealer 8 years 100,000 mile warranty, which I haven’t had to use, but it gave me the piece of mind to go ahead and get it. So far I absolutely love this thing.

@azdesertdog 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching and the comment. I have 132,000 now still going strong. I have heard about the spray treatment for winter. Sounds like a great idea. I have a metel splash guard from Amazon it also keeps the catelytic convert safe from thrives.

If it's been serviced I would say you have a good chance of having a reliable truck. I'd take it for a good test ride and maybe pick up a cheap scan tool.

Have a ext. Cab STX 21 2.7EB 4 by 4. Glad that you’re getting good life out of it. Did you change the drive line fluids? Only 45k Km on mine. BTW.. the auto dimming feature is great

@azdesertdog 9 ай бұрын

I changed all fluids at 100K miles. Trans, coolant, brakes etc. I might do it a little sooner next 100K.

@otmuppet 9 ай бұрын

nice! what did the trans fluid look like? I tow with mine, and on gravel often, so will likely drop it much sooner.@@azdesertdog

@azdesertdog 9 ай бұрын

@otmuppet I didn't change the fluid myself. I had the dealership do it. From what I understand they have to do a "relearn" on the TB10 transmissions after service. My VW Alltrack was like that which eneded in towing it to VW.

I think this F150 does well with regular maintenance. An oil change is the cheapest overhaul you can buy. Good luck on the next 135K.

(As others have said below)The 2018-2020 looks BAD ASS. Especially the 20" STX Wheels. Ford changed over 300 body components so nobody could grab simple parts from the junkyard, absolutely disgusting. I bought my 2018 STX 2.7L brand new in 2018, and this February in 2024, with only 29,000 miles, it was totaled due to water leakage through the windshield. Now in 2024 thanks to Bidenomics i have to pay almost $15,000 more for the same exact truck. Breaks my heart. That truck had a sport tune put on at 7500 miles (after my first oil change). Pushed an extra 7 pounds of boost (23-24 versus the factory 17 psi, netted an extra 50 HP and over 60 ft lbs of torque) and i pushed it hard. Never had a single problem other than a fluke oil pressure sensor failing at 14k miles. No leaks, never let me down in emergencies. TurboSmart Blow off valve, S&B intake, Catch can, Pedal Commander, all installed in the first 10,000 miles. Let us all say a prayer for my beloved.😢. Such is life, i just hope they didn't change too much with the 2024 models to mess up the reliability the 2018s had. But of course all manufactures do, as it's bad for business to make something too reliable. Side note : ALL 2015-2020 model owners, if you ever change your windshield, be sure to check for CRACKS that form in the frame, on the top right and left of the windshield right above the A Pillars. Stress fractures can happen at anytime or could already be there, make sure to check and tell the windshield guy to dump a ton of silicone/sealant into said areas/cracks even if they aren't showing yet. Also underneath the front cowl, below where the wiper blades sit, another fracture point is right above the firewall on that shelf. (Wet passenger side carpet) Granted i didn't have either of these and the water came in through a poor sealing job at the top directly in the middle (Tech was too lazy to lean over a few more inches clearly). After doing much research before i found the actual cause of leak, thought I'd share. This will flood your BCM and ruin your truck. Anyway hope your still enjoying your truck and its still going strong!

I had a 2013 F150 with 3.7 V6, I didn’t want anything to do with ecoboost as they had bad reputation at the time. I still avoid turbo engines though I guess they are hard to avoid these days. It was a good truck and sometimes wish I never sold it. Just wish it wasn’t so big. Would like to get a maverick but those are always sold out.

@azdesertdog 9 ай бұрын

I'm used to turbos since my 3/4 tons are deisels. The tech has come a long way. An extended warranty helps too. New truck in general are crazy money and tbe lower line models that I buy are harder to come by. The dealerships have gone full mugger mode.
