The F150 is great. Towed a minivan on dolly, and the f150 with the 5.something V8 is a beast. Although I was gentle with it, it felt like a charm and very soft for towing.

Make sure you DO NOT get one with the 5.4L 3 valve V8 it’s one of the worst motors ever built.

This is an honest opinion do not for any reason but the f150 with the 5.4L 3 valve (even though you find them for sale everywhere for super cheap)

[@monkeyslap]

Going to shell out more before this winter though for preventative maintenance. Want the truck to last me a long time.

[@paulhowell5079]

Good Review Scotty, I used to be a loyal Silverado enthusiast. Back in “13, I looked at all the equivalents of the F150 in depth and also reviewed the recalls for all. The Silverado’s list of recalls was far too numerous to even be considered as viable. If you were going to work the truck hard as a contractor probably would, the Toyota was built like a tank but fuel mileage sucked. I went with the F-150 FX2 with a 5.0. They tried to sell me an Ecoboost but I knew the V8 was the most reliable. 5 yrs later, everyone asks to buy my truck when I go to sell it. They just don’t realize, I have no intentions of ever selling it. Best truck I’ve ever owned.

[@iamtheoffenderofall]

So you know, and you can look this up, Ford has the most recalls per vehicle out of ALL manufacturers.

[@DeepDoseMusic]

I just rolled over 260,000 kms on my 2013 F150 5.0. It was my first new vehicle and Id break down its usage as approximately 30% on terrible dirt/mud roads in the oil patch, 50% on my long highway commutes, and 20% towing my 6800 lb 5th wheel through the BC mountains. Its my office and my daily driver. I did....ok with maintenance. I was young and dumb at first, and dragged out the oil changes a bit long. I've since wised up with that, and have done as much of my own work as possible - plugs, control arms and recently struts. A couple weeks ago I was having a crises, of my own making - the one fluid I never touched was the transmission fluid. So I read up about it obsessively and learned of the big debate around changing tranny fluid for the first time on high mileage vehicles. I went ahead and (nervously) had it done anyway, and its running like new again. I just got back from an annual 1800 km trip towing through BC and it didn't skip a beat. I did stop and let it idle once on a very long climb because the transmission hit 104, but it cooled quickly and away I went. I run full synthetic Amsoil and always premium when towing. I haven't been kind to my F150, but it has been an amazing vehicle. The only mechanical issue I had was a rear diff bearing at 220k, so that was rebuilt. Everything else is expected routine maintenance. If youre on the fence about an F150, just listen to Scotty, they have perfected these trucks.

[@cm5896]

You commented about starter location in a Tundra. I had a Honda CRV that needed a new starter. I couldn't find it. I crawled around under the CRV. Popped the hood. Looked through the fender wells. It just wasn't there. Turns out Honda hid it, just like in the Tundra, except this was a 4 cylinder, so you think it would be hard to hide. Nope. To change it, you had to remove the battery. Remove all of the air intake plastic and filter box. Then finally unbolt the intake manifold, which was hooked to life support with about a dozen hoses, then slide the manifold sideways across the front of the car into the open area formerly occupied by the air intake stuff and the battery. And there it was, in plain site, just like that Tundra starter.. It took me about 5 minutes to replace the starter and about 2 or 3 hours figuring out how to get to it and put it all back together. The engineers should be required by law to disassemble and reassemble brakes, starters, front end suspension components, radiators, heater motors, and all of the other common repair stuff on a dozen 10 year old vehicles that were driven in the rust rust belt, and do it on a 35 degree day in the wind out on a gravel driveway, before they even touch a computer to do their first design. They might fix a few of their own stupid designs if they were required to work on them first.

[@drewb242]

Well I doubt an engineer made the decision to put the starter there. But in any case yes very annoying. I have a 94 honda prelude. Starter is on the front bottom left side of the engine, easily accessible, 4 bolts, would likely take me ten minutes to replace.

[@cm5896]

@@drewb242 If not an engineer, who? That's what engineers do. They design things. The bean counters might have some influence in the cost to build the vehicle, as in "the engine can't cost more than $XXX.xx", but I doubt a bean counter, secretary, or janitor said "Hide the starter between the frame of the car and the intake manifold. They'll never think to look for it there". It's possible the Engineer or Engineering team that did the engine design designed everything except the starter location and were left with an area that allowed the starter to physically fit, but it was a horrible location, so they used it, but it was still an engineer that made that choice.

Yeah and Toyota rarely gets used for any real type of work either and yet the big 3 are not far away in reliability. That says alot right there. Look at which trucks are hauling trailers and/or loads. Here's a hint....it's not Tundra's. Whenever I see a Tundra it's empty and not pulling any trailer. I'm not hating or anything I'm just saying what I see. So of course it might be more reliable because it's not getting beat up or put to heavy work. Something to think about when you factor it in the reliability rating next time. Simply put there's alot of good reasons why the F150 sells like it does for so many years and that is that it's a great truck obviously !!!

Scotty's videos are some of the best at KZbin- MUCH appreciated.

I never owned a truck, but when I found out Ford F-150 was lightweight aluminum body, I decided to get a 2017 F-150 XLT supercab 2WD with 5.0 Coyote V8. First new vehicle I ever purchased. I have had the truck for one year, and put 32,000 miles on it. There has not been a single "warranty repair" fault with this truck to date. Fuel economy on one trip meter, never reset since the truck was purchased is 20.5 MPG _average_ city/highway. This is excellent for a V8 truck. Aluminum body FTW. And the 5.0 sounds great, even with the factory single exhaust. 0 to 60 is in the low 5 second range... what more could you ask for from a 33,000 $ work/utility vehicle?

I love my Chevy's that I drive I'd never own a Ford honestly so fare my Chevy trucks stay pretty strong and as long as the oil is maintained the engine will last a long time of no problems in it's life time my old 99 Chevy Silverado 3 quarter ton truck has over 300k on my 6.0L V8 beast the rear end never gave out on that and it does allot of pulling and I'm proud of it for how long it lasted and its got a automatic transmission that hasn't never gave out too I'm surprised it had no problems I hate to see what might give out if something bad happens on it between the engine or transmission or transfer case or rear end it's definitely gonna break the bank I try to baby it as much as I can

[@biancaramirez5788]

Yeah, but as a Ford fanatic, I will admit the 350 is the ahit for gas engines but nobody has the visual appeal of a Ford nor the ride and quiet nature while still having the animal under hood that Ford has always had. Maybe not the best but show me a gm in any form and it looks ugly when next to any Ford, save the pregnant roller skate economy boxes.

@@salpairadice True. Where I work, 5 Chevy cargo vans and one ford. The ford is the the only one that hasnt been to the shop in years.

[@dougbaird5899]

Over the years, I have had both Chevy and Ford pick ups. Gotta say that I have less repairs with the Fords. Built Ford Tough is true in my opinion.

Unless you get a 5.4 3ltr Triton! More trouble and expenses than could ever be worth.👎

[@onedeepmechanic2214]

Tree Guy 5.4 07 king ranch just hit 200k never changed anything but coil packs take care of your vehicle it takes care of you.

[@NateDogMXtv]

80k on 5.4 2nd radiator then the head started leaking coolant. This was model year famous for spitting spark plugs out. Mine didn't do that but friends pickup spit one out at 30k. He bought it new and Ford didn't cover it. I won't buy another Ford

[@kadenkast392]

NateDogMXtv the 2v have problems shooting plugs, 3v has a problem with them getting stuck. my 05 3v has 177k with original phasers, engine, tranny. regular oil changes pay off. No problems at all if u take care of ur vehicle

[@kadenkast392]

NateDogMXtv obvi stuff like ball joints and tie rods and alternator but that was all around 150k, not bad imo

[@stevewilliams3850]

Scotty Kilmer : Scotty, I just love your videos. You did forget to mention one thing that I believe, makes the Ford pick ups better than all the rest. It has the best, and I believe the safest frame...that fully- boxed frame. Isn't that a stronger frame than all others?

[@jcr6651]

Your pop up pics are spot on

[@rob5896]

I read about a Tundra with nearly one million miles on it, still on the original engine and running good!

[@guillemodred3938]

Traitor. Apparently some of us want to pretend Pearl Harbor never happened. Tundras may be built in the U.S. but they are still Japanese trucks with profits flowing to a Japanese company. Iran took some Americans hostage 40 years ago, they returned them unharmed, but they are still our sworn enemy to this day - now that's how you do it.

[@fnfastone]

That was a fake ad sponsored by Toyota. Scotty just told you how They hold up in the real world

[@denismguitar1552]

Wow. Some deep seated anger there.

[@andybub45]

@@fnfastone Found On Road Dead. Tundra is way more reliable then F150.

[@Juggalotus253]

If you can get 1 million miles on a truck with the original engine and transmission, then that is a solid truck. That's why I don't bother buying a new truck. I've read about, and seen pictures of 3 different gen 10 f150s that have passed 1 million miles on the original engine. Think one of them had to rebuild the transmission twice though.

[@Hondabond35]

Please do a small segment of your video about the 2002 through 2009 Chevy Trailblazer I think they put a really good Transmission in them after 04 I think the 4.2 L straight 6 is a really good engine please let people know

[@hhn1776]

Really helpful analysis. Thanks!

[@renejerezano8664]

Hey Scotty...utmost respect for your videos. Ignore the offensive comments, cause without obligation to do so, you're helping many people with your honest blogs. I have a 2019 Chevy Colorado 2.5l 4cyl engine. Have you worked on such truck yet? So far so good for me...any comments about it.

[@miguelfernandesfilho]

HI Scotty love your videos mate. Quick question: what you think about Suburus in general? Are they reliable cars?

[@jodonwelch2878]

Not really

[@btcitadelxxl2110]

You just told last week not to buy a Ford !! Now I have a Tundra sitting in my driveway ! Thanks Scotty -_-

[@billwhe]

The Tundra will last as long as you want to keep it... with very few headaches.

[@tilmunsword]

Robert Vongartzen yeah... I don’t have time to take my truck in every season bc it was built poorly. My tundra is reliable!

[@Bshugs]

Jody Owen ur such a badass.

[@zell863]

@Jody Owen Just say to them to google "Toyota truck rust problems". That said, now Toyota do C frame and Ford boxed.

Excellent video, you make a lot of sense.
