Marijuana usage suppresses testosterone levels in men. So, as marijuana becomes more widely accepted and used, male testosterone levels will continue to decrease and along with that many "male" characteristics in our society will fall into disfavor.

@@christianh5826 Inflation accounts for some of the price hike. However, truck prices have increased roughly 67% since 2016 and inflation has increased 15.24%. The truck companies are putting more features in their trucks and charging for them. It’s called math.

[@ktpinnacle]

@@christianh5826 I think it's called capitalism. As long as folks are willing to buy them at that price point, car makers will be happy to take their money.

Wow, all those bells and whistles on the KR! Watching I kept thinking, "that'll break, that'll break, that'll break". $$$$. I remember test driving a used high end F-150 4 years back. The electrically actuated fold away step bars weren't working, and the power adjustable steering wheel made gear slipping noises when I tried to use it. It's more than a $25k difference between trucks - the repairs are going to be that much more as well.

[@Prestiged_peck]

I want an XLT just for the remote start, because it's not available on the XL, though I'm thinking of getting an STX and installing an aftermarket remote start, but I'd also want leather seats because vynil gets REALLY hot In texas summers and cloth isn't what you want in a mechanic's truck.

[@SurelyYewJest]

I really don't think the electronic items are as prone to failure as people think they will be. I've driven decade+ old American and Japanese cars in desert summer heat for years at a time and everything worked, even if it was electro-mechanical. If a car is even decently taken care of and not just completely beat on, the baubles will continue working. Anything that didn't work was down to it getting bashed or moisture getting into the wrong places. The only exception in my ownership history was - of course - European electronics in a Volkswagen which had a bad airbag sensor ($3-400), a trigger-happy check engine light that you never were sure if it was a false or true positive ($whatever the cost could be), and one other issue I'm forgetting. What I'm more concerned with is my 2017 F350 Lariat having the exact same creaky-squeaky loud door retainers and hinges as the 2007 Ford Explorer EB I had previously. I suspect that both these F150s, regardless of price, will have unbelievably squeaky doors by year 2. Same goes for random exterior trim pieces like Ford's black plastic rain rails that break at fastener points and flop around.

[@chris01922]

Agreed. Ford did a really nice job with this new generation. I have the "sport" package and am a fan of the cloth.

[@WallStreetBeggar]

What you forgot to mention is the XLT and up models have laminated front windows too. I got a couple of work truck spec and a fully loaded one, and let me tell you the road noise in the fully loaded one is like a Range Rover, and the work truck spec transfers a bunch of road noise. Now I'm not 100% sure on this, but I believe the fully loaded/luxury models have a hydraulic dampener at the body mounts too. I know the Tundra has it in their higher end packages, but comparing the work truck and fully loaded F150 is night and day in terms of quiet and comfort. My 21 PB Limited registers 58-62 db at 70 w/o lumber rack, 64-65db with a lumber rack. My 16 work trucks registers 70-75db at 70.

[@wannabeangler]

Loved it! I pick the work truck! Not a huge fan of hybrid trucks, but the XL was the clear winner.

[@wwz1011]

First thing you get is HALF the working payload, if not worse (subtract passenger weight and camper top, etc,). That tow rating of 12,000 pounds is WORTHLESS as it can't handle the tongue weight. Figure 13% of trailer weight for tongue, so a 10,000 pound trailer gives you 1,300 pound tongue weight. Oops, out of payload! Better. not have anything in the bed, or a passenger, or a pet. Since it is a FIVE passenger truck, it just doesn't work. Bonus points on the XL. for the cloth seats.

[@markryl-kuchar2373]

I think the XLT power boost is the cheapest model you can get the LED headlights and that honestly is the only other option I would want over what Andre has with his XL grade truck

[@CarlosAlvarez-hw1je]

Yeah but they're not the projector headlights. To get those you need at least the highest package on the lariat.

[@MrFordguy73]

Are those LED modules? Or are they bulbs that you can replace when they go out? I think the modules that come from Ford are very very expensive

[@joshmcopeland]

Have a ‘19 KR Ultimate 350 DRW we use to tow the fifth wheel. On those long stretches the massaging seats are amazing. The vent/heat seats are amazing too. I’ll never be able to go back now. Also prefer the KR Ultimate over platinum as the interior is way better looking.

[@Argedis]

I just went on Autotrader and found several older King Ranch F-150s 2012-2014 for 22k-25k with a little over 100k miles. Further proof that new trucks (especially luxury models) are a waste of money even in this current market. Let others pay the huge cost and take advantage of their depreciation later.

[@jthomp997]

Not disagreeing but the fully loaded king ranch back then was also only like 50k. Which is still absurd to think they've drop to 50% but it's important to remember it's not the same 77k truck they're talking about.

[@Argedis]

@J L I learned something new, Thanks!

[@Argedis]

@@jthomp997 Yeah and that's in this current inflated market too. This 77k truck will be worth a fraction in 10 years simply because it'll be a few generations behind and not the newest and greatest.

Not sure what your point is. I'd say the King Ranch is probably the higher sale volume truck especially with that powertrain

[@NWI_Steel]

Your point?

[@bngr_bngr]

Wish the King Ranch had a column shifter.

[@voided3]

If you plan on towing anything with significant tongue weight like a camper or plan on getting a heavy topper, winch bumper, etc., the base/lower trims make a lot more sense. Having an extra 400 lbs. of payload, even if this particular XL's towing capacity is slightly lower than the King Ranch, gives you a lot more usable trailer tongue weight headroom. Once you step up to a 3/4 ton, this becomes less of an issue, but in a 1/2 ton, a 400 lbs. difference is huge.

[@paulhunter9613]

@ed Rico Or get the Hd payload pkg for the f150

[@roywall8169]

That antimatter blue is phenomenal.

400lbs is a decent difference, but I think the smaller and lighter wheels on the xlt truck make a big difference too, takes a good amount of torque to get rolling, and smaller diameter wheels work like higher gearing to help low speed acceleration.

Again Ford must think we’re all stupid. What good is having 12,000 pounds of towing capacity when 10% of your tongue weight equals 1200 pounds. That means only a 150 pound person can drive the vehicle with nothing else in it, If your payload is 1300 pounds. What a joke!

Even the base model has way more than I need or even want.

Great review! What about a Vale Gauntlet with that 10k load and an mpg comparison. Really interested to see if that max tow package makes that big of a difference.

Does make me wonder why you don't find heated cloth seats. I feel like the only reason heated and cooled seats are included in a leather trim of any vehicle is because you burn your junk in the summer and freeze it during the winter.

I'll take a lightly-optioned 4WD XL. All day. Every day.

Imagine spending 77,000 dollars for a truck… I’ll keep my 03 Duramax I got for 10,000 thanks.

So we bought our decked out truck, we use it for what it was intended, and now we want to protect our fancy seats. Can you guys recommend seat covers?

[@Argedis]

That's the problem with expensive new fancy trucks, people still don't want to get it dirty, scratched, or dinged. You may be using it 'as intended' but not using it like a truck. Also if you spent thousands on fancy seats what's the point in covering them if you're not going to use them... are you preserving them for the next owner? It's like putting on a 'glove'... takes away all the feeling

[@Scout819]

@@Argedis TF? Wanting to keep it clean doesn't mean they aren't using it as a truck? Trucks have multiple uses besides just getting it dirty and bashed. If he's using it "for what it was intended", then obviously he's using it as "a truck".

@valor_x I didn't ask for your opinion on how to use my truck, buddy, I was asking about seat covers. I have the rubber floor mats because they are easy to clean after the mud and wet stuff gets into the cab. Now I would like to add some seat covers so the clean up is easier. Trust me this PU sees some proper truck use, I just like too keep a clean Machine. 👌
