During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of KZbin!

[@gmman010983]

bed liners should be standard.

[@Jimothy_the_frog]

Yes please

[@paulstark4923]

"all new 2015"😭😭😭how time passes

[@PinoyShuffle]

Buying my dad a black on black f150 later this year! Ford has always treated me well and I will continue to buy their lineup for many years to come

[@natemartinez2745]

PinoyShuffle You are buying him one? Wow what a lucky guy lol

[@jgueroz71]

GM is my preferred choice for car buying but this trim of the Ford F150 is the only one i like, kinda beats the Silverado tbh

[@ten132]

+PinoyShuffle hailcorporate

[@Bomenix14]

+PinoyShuffle 1990 Ford Ranger Lariat right here. 25 years and im 24 years old. What an AMAZING TRUCK! Just recently its FINALLY giving me problems. This is INCREDABLE. 25 fucking years and only now its giving me problems. Oh man what an amazing hand me down truck. Amazing truck. Im not giving up on her and it will be a pass me down for my future children,

[@hunterdeen1085]

I prefer dodge due to the insane horsepower and luxurious interior but I agree ford is putting themselves faster and faster

[@shossain50]

I'm a GM guy but this is ONE GOOD LOOKING TRUCK!

[@TJC450]

shossain50 Me three. A gorgeous truck.

[@man_on_wheelz]

shossain50 I'll admit as a Ford guy, GM has made some damn good trucks and SUV's the past decade or so, but I am curious about how they compare with Ford now, looks like a tough pick!

[@IbanezPlayer124]

shossain50 Nice to see a GM guy not bash something non-GM :)

[@steamyhotpoo]

Did I just step into an alternate dimension? How else can you explain 5 people in a row complimenting both GM and Ford?

[@shossain50]

Lmfao a signal that the end is near!

[@Reli55]

The only thing that I wish SHOULD BE STANDARD here on the Platinum - as well as on the King Ranch (the two highest trim) - trim is the bedliner - drop-in or spray-on.

[@mb600luvr25]

Kyle, I've been watching you literally since the beginning of time with your videos. I'm not usually the one to comment on a video, but I felt I needed to take the time to share this, even though you may not read it. Watching you now as compared to where you came from is incredible. Not to say that your older videos were in any way lacking, but your current videos are just that exceptional. You've created a style that cannot be touched. Being a fellow car guy, I can appreciate the pride you take in your videos as well as the enjoyment you get out of making new ones. The amount of detail and intent that goes into your videos is not only unparalleled on KZbin, but unmatched in any other source of automotive reviews (Your channel is bookmarked on my browser). I get excited every time I see you post a new video. Regardless of what the car may be, I watch it because I have the opportunity to learn from the best. You just do it right. This video just solidified my opinion. I don't really care for pickup trucks, but figured I'd watch it given the new technology debuting with this model. Within two minutes of watching, I was taken back with the amount of detail you have and will provide. Every fact, number, statistic, and specification was provided and covered in a manner that makes the viewer want to continue watching. You're not just some drone spitting facts out at a camera. You make every half hour an enjoyable experience. Please don't ever stop making videos, or better, enjoying the automotive world the way you do. You have a talent and passion that deserves to be shared with the world. I've watched every single one of your videos, and don't plan on stopping. I have the utmost respect for you, and wish you all the best.

[@OneworldOnelove36]

I already wanted the new F-150, but watching this review had me bouncing in my computer seat over the awesomeness of this review and this truck. Really well done.

[@hamishc2445]

F150 has always been my favourite truck

[@diethersantos6404]

Same But Only Problem Is I Dont Like Is The Gasoline Engine I Like Diesel Only

[@KiaStingerGTGuy]

@@diethersantos6404theres diesel F150s

[@nicholashennessy6740]

Excellent job as always, and thank you so much for finally reviewing the new f150. Never a disappointment when Kyle is reviewing any type of car. Bang up job Kyle! 👍

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

I cannot thank you enough for uploading this. By far my favorite full size truck, it would be paradise to take this on a long trip!

[@ethanmoore3774]

I personally have been in this exact truck, minus the Platinum trim level. IT HAS AMAZING TORQUE, no matter what speed you are going and ANYWHERE across the RPM range. With a lead footed person driving, we were able to do 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, and 0-90 in 8.2 seconds. Its has an amazing driving feel, and addresses all of the issues of the previous model design.

[@Devogor]

Minus the Platinum trim... So not this exact truck...😑

[@SILMANTV]

Been rockin with this man for 4 years best reviews on KZbin

[@JakobHighRoller]

I drove this at the MN Auto Show and it was amazing

[@zebrech]

I like the solid thud when closing the doors. That is a Damn Nice F150. Ford has really gotten with the times lately. The new ford door chime is really cool too.

[@mesa480jr]

A tremendous truck! great review Kyle! I have bought two cars already, but always watch your review first to see what I am getting into. its been a great help!

[@thedynamitedmoney]

This is by far the most thorough review I have ever seen GREAT WORK! Ok fine this makes me one to get one of these!!!

[@joelocust8306]

Wow! I enjoyed the review of the 2015 Ford F-150 platinum series. I am more in love with it, and certainly on my list for a new Ford 👍🏿Thanks!!!

[@lukeworrell8479]

Kyle I love your reviews, but I don't always have the time to watch them all the way. What if you made a series of quick reviews along with your in depth reviews?

[@TJC450]

Luke Worrell He used too do that a long time ago.

[@saabkyle04]

I have considered it! What kind of stuff would you like to see and how long do you think it needs to be? Thanks for the feedback!

[@jamelmoore4356]

This is the most appealing truck on the market right now, in my opinion! When it comes to trucks, Ford has always been the leader in sales for a reason: they innovate! Thanks for the in-depth review, Mr. Kyle!

[@jflicks5175]

YES FINALLY A F-150!! THANK YOU KYLE!! I'M HAPPY!

[@blairalley]

What a great review. Thank you for posting! You answered all my questions and more!

[@Jeeproz]

once this truck was revealed, the design looked unappealing to me.. now i actually adore it very nice truck!

[@SuperFordguy123]

This truck is beautiful! I drive a 2015 Lariat SuperCrew with the 5.0L V8. Currently 2300 miles and loving every bit of it :)

[@sugaquaks]

SuperFordguy123 does our truck have the ability to use ford pass with it?

[@alivewithpassion]

Your reviews are awesome! Thank you for posting them.

[@wolfalshehri6200]

Great review kyle as always

[@maxpower6356]

Wow.. what a fantastic and thorough review, great job!

[@Barobran92]

Even the power seat controls are beautiful on this thing, nicest full sized pickup in my opinion.

[@Wbrooks01]

Another great review, Kyle! Really hope they come out with the Limited trim level on this one. That's always been my favorite.

[@saidsaif9353]

almost tried all other competitors, but nothing like Ford when it comes to reality, torque and very comfortable

[@akrexak]

Great review, as usual. I'm a huge fan of the new F-150.

[@ihuss007]

Awesome car & video as always Kyle! keep up the great work.

[@man_on_wheelz]

What an astonishingly magnificent truck! I've always liked F-150's but this one really takes the cake! I've driven almost all the previous models and this one looks phenomenal, makes me want one now! Only thing I could do without is the engine sound coming through the speakers, as a car guy, it feels like this is supposed to be for the car guy but also trying to fool the car guy which only pisses the car guy off. I actually would rather hear the deadening silence until I open the window than listen to a recording of the engine inside... sometimes that's the point of closing the windows... for silence! So no thanks on the engine speakers, otherwise this truck is perfection!

[@Smalltownflyer]

great job! your reviews are perfect and show exactly what I want to see. dealerships should suggest there sales force watch these! I think I'm more informed than the dealer when I shop with these Vida

[@treymirforeman9278]

I have never seen such a cool F 150 that is so amazing

[@Brutus2834]

Excellent video as always and wish you and your family the best!

[@The_CoreyBrown]

Great video Kyle, as usual! Really like this vehicle, its quite the truck!

[@zebrech]

I used to be anti V6 in a full size vehicle. However seeing it in that beautiful F150, makes it acceptable. I really want one. The door chime is awesome too.

[@sali5357]

I was waiting for you to make this video thanks very much

[@Xiomaro01]

excellent and thorough review as always!

[@Eliyourcarguy]

I like how you added the time stamps. Great idea! I might have to use that. Lol

[@rockoutskyguy]

I'm very proud to supply the metal to build these beautiful trucks. Haven't been a Ford fan, but these new generation Ford's are nice.

[@fortitudo1990]

Thank you so much *****​, that's really perfect, your reviews are always wonderful.

[@patwentworth129]

finally!!! :') I've been waiting for you to do this review since the truck came out

[@troytruong8246]

I'm 33yoa. Never had a truck before. I told myself that I would never buy a truck or suv. This F150 has changed my mind!!! I will get one very soon! You can do so many things with this truck! hehehhehe.

[@johnroberts4789]

Just ordered a 2016 Platinum 4x4 3.5L with all the bells & whistles from the factory; now I wait 8-12 weeks for delivery

[@GilbertKingAispuro]

GREAT review! Geeeez, you are the review KING!

[@davidkopatz8270]

Work of Art! 100%

[@paultomasch8699]

I love the square look on trucks instead of the bubble sometimes

[@Mix56awesome]

Thank you so much for this video. This is my favorite car.

[@joeturner3263]

You have amazing reviews!

[@MexicoTijuana741]

I like that back space room I always put the seats up, lay a yoga mat down and take 1 hr naps at my job sites, really spacious

[@commando1912]

Great review as always.

[@carlosm809]

Great review, good job!

[@brandonwhite9591]

Thanks. Been waiting for this one

[@shaneruthven]

Fantastic, well explained video. Thank you

[@mr.stukes4768]

Glad you finally got around to the 2015 F 150. The Platinum will not be the top of the line much longer. Ford announced the 2016 Ford F 150 Limited for release later this year. I'm sure you knew that already. As always I enjoy how complete your reviews are, and how much information you provide. Keep up the good work!

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

This is the only truck I might buy one Kyle.

[@deapozol]

That is a beautiful truck.

[@aalhadm4931]

Dude your channel rocks!!

[@freeletf3801]

kyle mention the vehicle and engine specifications in the description , it will be helpful ! cheers man your videos are absolutely awesome !!

[@adawg1203]

Nice review of an awesome truck. I'm the exact type of consumer Ford is looking to entice with its premium pickup truck offerings (it's working). The F150 platinum as great a vehicle that it is, will not be my next vehicle of choice, to purchase. Thanks to Ford announcing the F150 LIMITED for 2016 with a winter release, that just completely did it for me. I'll be going LIMITED all the way. I have to say Ford has a pretty extensive lineup of great F150 packages at all price points.

[@kimberlyjohnson6294]

omg I'm a child and I know so much about cars and this is the truck I would love to have!

[@Countcho]

get a used one in high school :p

[@MrLew1965]

Great Review ! I thought the Ram Limited had a nice interior & features BUT Ford has the competition beat, hands down the nicest 1/2 Ton on the Road!! Keep up the great work Ford !! Absolutely Stunning Truck !!

[@R777-RLM]

Excellent review, Ford's 4x4 independent front suspension is probably the beefiest of American 1/2 ton trucks, especially when compared to Rams smallish aluminum lower control arms. GM trucks have both aluminum and cast iron control arms, depending on the model, but are larger than the Rams. Ford has a suspension durability test on youtube, the other trucks need to do the same. It's to bad Ford is pushing it's buyers to Turbo engines, they tend to have decreased longevity, and increased maintenance overall.

[@R777-RLM]

+Eric Powers The 5.0L V8 seems to be a good engine, they should have kept the 6.2L V8 and offered a Turbo V6 as an option. Ford should also ditch the clam shell doors on the extended cab, for the small front hinge doors like the GM's and Ram's.

[@ianblair2915]

I'm a kid but I love trucks. Ford f150 is my dream car/truck

[@tj47racer]

I love that design on the f150

[@carrolwood9984]

Great job on the Demo...

[@mandraque54nandra90]

I love your reviews

[@lowfb6247]

wow this truck is amazing

[@OLDS98]

Interesting review. I can appreciate your work and efforts. It makes you wonder did GM go far enough on its trucks or could they do better.

[@MKingDMV]

I’ve been convincing my dad to get this truck all my life. He currently owns a 2009 Silverado

[@IKhanNot]

Having owned a 93 Silverado a number of years ago it's amazing how refined and luxurious pickups have become. I mean they do have the workhorse models available but the fact you can get the utility of a truck but the comfort of a sedan is great. I think for this truck I'd spring for the V8 because the EcoBoost motors have proven to be a bit troublesome which kind of defeats the purpose of the efficiency since you have to shell out more money to fix the problems versus the amount of fuel saved.

[@rocconido2192]

What problems do the ecoboost motors have?

[@XXMETAL4LIF3XX]

amazing truck and review

[@Dollarstorebarbie]

This is a very nice truck! Very safe. (Recommended when looking at trucks)

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

I love that trademark Ford three note chime.

[@xCkillaxC]

Haha I actually like that Ford chime when you open the door. Its sounds nice xD

[@bgold8]

great review!

[@angelvillegas997]

I forgot to ask the other day, Aventador SV, are you going to do a review? Keep up the good work Kyle!

[@BadaBing.UCF30]

Hey Kyle, are you gonna review the brand new 2016 Nissan Maxima? They completely changed everything, it looks like a 4 door Scion TC now.

[@TheVoiceOfJesusChristbyTurnerE]

1:49 my dad used to have an old 2013 F150 Lariat and it had that startup screen

[@inio]

My dream car !Love trucks!

[@dylanvellu421]

such a nice truck

[@smmhamzah]

Love this truck!!

[@flintoccena]

Kyle cool video! I will ask you what would you prefer? This f150 or raptor? There both beautiful but what do you think?

[@Jeppelelle]

Great truck, nice to see the trucks evolving too. Anyways, will you be doing an In Depth Review of the new Volvo XC90 anytime soon? Really looking forward to that one

[@johnhenderson5610]

I am a huge fan of your videos! Not one vehicle detail left out! I've watched 49 of your videos! They are AWESOME! Hey, can you do a review on a ford freestar? That's the type of minivan my family has. I am 10 years old to. A 10 year old liking all your videos! Cool right?

[@ryanlittleton5615]

The shifter is freaking MASSIVE!!!

[@blues03]

Does SaabKyle no longer say "shall we?" after he closes the door? 4:26 It may sound cheesy, but I always felt SaabKyle was personally inviting us along the tour with him (even though he does that already during the key segment). I suppose I just miss/like it.

[@BiIlDipperIy]

I've been to the F150 plant and saw this truck last year at the factory. They have a pretty good reputation (Unlike GM) and are really luxurious

[@ismaelmadrigal]

Today I test drove a 2015 Platinum and I gunned the accelerator pedal, a minute later the truck didn't want to accelerate in the highway 20MPH had to go on the breakdown Lane with the gas pedal all the way to the floor. After 4 minutes of driving the truck resumed it's speed. Is this normal is it something I should worry about before buying the truck?

[@fabianjones8157]

Great looking truck! I hope they added a windshield wiper fluid low alert.

[@kelslo74]

Truck of my dreams

[@YourLocalFireAlarmTech]

Haha, same! But I do have a 2016 XLT Sport with the 5.0. This truck is an absolute dream to drive!

[@OneworldOnelove36]

Same. Of course, I am a HUGE Ford guy.

[@snapesnapeseverussnape2015]

Me Too!

[@ItsthekingG]

Hail Ford 👋

[@Trikster1of4]

I've driven all models of this generation of F150 and all models of the previous generation Sierra 1500 (I used to work at a dealership that sold these trucks) and I think the best truck between the two is the Ford

[@matrixmaster2233]

These trucks are everywhere.

[@tristanmatheson9202]

at 0:42 XLT optional as well don't forget plus lariat at 1:45 all new chime in the f150 as well as the new mustang 5.0 gt

[@najkinsta]

Great car even better review.
