What is amazing to me is that anyone would consider $50000 as affordable for a base truck

[@tommc3622]

I paid $50k for a very nice older 1500sqft house, with 2 1/2 car attached garage in the midwest a year and a half ago. ... Automotive manufacturers have lost all touch with reality.

[@dirtbeard108]

i remember when a base XL was 8400 and everybody saying how crazy it was that a Lariat was $16k. In ten years people will say you used to be able to get these for $50k.

[@jn1ty]

I agree. I only watched this video because I wanted to see the affordable price. I bought a brand new base Chevy pickup in 1974 for $2300. Now that is affordable.

[@phantom0456]

$50k in 2024 is $41,400 in 2020 money. Our government is printing money and “giving money away” (read: laundering) money so fast that Americans cannot mentally keep up with the rate of inflation.

[@texan176]

Prices are out of control. Before things went crazy, a dealer in my area was selling 2019 F150 XLTs regular cab 8ft bed with the 5 liter V8 for $26K out the door at the end of 2019 when they were trying to get rid of them for the new year. Ford no longer makes an XLT with an 8ft bed but the last model year it did that truck was around $42K. The barebones XL should not have all of this equipment standard. Give it manual windows, analog cluster, no screen at all, backup camera mandated by law built into the rear view mirror, cheap $50 tail lamps that use 80 cent standard bulbs, etc. The price could drop significantly with cutting of electronics and tech.

[@JeffRyman69]

Although I would like manual windows, the days of manual windows and analog instrumentation are long gone and never returning. Everything in the drive train is controlled by digital computer modules to try to squeeze out every last mile per gallon. Many parts are plastic to save weight. The F-150 went to mostly aluminum for the body to save weight. It isn't only Ford making these changes either.

[@cheftomsd]

Your preaching to the choir but they are all senior citizens. Simplicity left the barn long ago. What millennial is going to buy a new truck that doesn't have all this electronic crap and heaven forbid the flat screen is perceived as an inch too small or it takes an extra millisecond to connect to their phone? Are you kidding, they would be totally flummoxed by a window crank.

[@Still_awake19]

Yep, prior to recent years price gouging/pre Covid, I could find extended cab new XLT 4x4s for $28k. The 4 door XLTs 4x4 were $30-34k depending on package. Prices have come down some recently but XLT 4x4s are still $55k and XL 4x4 with the STX package/not bare bones, are $44k

You can almost get this in a Toyota Tacoma with a 6ft bed option, but the older Tundra also comes in a v6 (or v8) and either a 6ft or 8ft bed. Both trucks have manual options too. Obviously it might be harder to find one with all your criteria, but I’ve been happy with both of my Tacomas so far.

[@JeffRyman69]

@@melvinleroy9451 I was going to get a Tacoma but they have changed to a turbocharged V6 this model year.

Cool review, thanks for showing all the features you get on an XL. I assume the gear shifter goes to PARK automatically when you open the door to get out on that (like the XLT you showed did)? I assumed the XL had halogens, so it is a surprise to see LED reflectors instead. I wonder how much those cost to replace if and when they fail or burn out? I know those rear tail light assemblies are notoriously expensive to replace, since you also have that blind spot monitor module to also replace (if you got damage to the thing, etc.).

Do they make a truck without all the “driver assist “?

I've disabled both the lane assist and the collision detection. I just dont trust it with when it's kicked in, and on slick roads in winter I don't want it turning or braking like that. I HATE all digital dashes, they should be outlawed. I love to have extra info on a side screen like in my 2019 Ranger but I don't want to lose the screen and not be able to see speed or make setting changes. Why put all your eggs in one basket, rather have an analog or two and maybe one info screen for more info.

Looks nice, I bought a 23' STX with the 2.7 Ecoboost because they sold the 5.0 I was gonna get, and I love it. The first test drive when I drove it (@Tomball Ford TX.), it really threw me back in the seat, so I went ahead and picked, the one I got now. The 5.0 I wanted was area 51 blue, and mine is Atlas blue, which I preferred that color over the area 51, but wanted the V-8 that was the only V-8 in stock at the time and new, but sold before I got there. So I didn't get the engine I wanted at the time, but got the color I wanted instead, and have no regrets now as the 2.7 got plenty under the hood lol. Oh Compacted graphite block is the same material as the 6.7 Powerstroke, that is why it is insanely powerful for such small cubic inches and takes a lot of boost. 325 HP and 400 FT LBS of Torque out of 2.7 liters is great for that small engine.

[@georgiadronefootage4136]

Too bad the 2.7 has a rubber belt running the oil pump inside the engine bathed in oil. Oil and rubber don't mix and it requires going in past the timing chains to get to. Not sure on the service interval recommend by ford but I'd guess 100k maybe 150k. I'd trade it before it gets out of warranty if I were you. Not to mention theses gas turbo engines just don't have the longevity or reliability of their naturally aspirated counterparts.

[@RayRayP2001]

@@georgiadronefootage4136 Well on that note, the belt is actually Kevlar not rubber, and the block is extremely overbuilt using a material that is used in the diesel turbo's called compacted graphite so I think it will be alright.

[@michiganman4398]

I would honestly take the 2.7 over the current gen 5.0. They ruined that engine with the cylinder deactivation, direct injection, and the oil consumption issues from the welded cylinder surface. I have a 2015 with the 5.0 with 175000 trouble free miles on it and I love it. Anything post 2018 though I wouldn’t get a 5.0. My dad and best friend both have 2018s with the 2.7 when they added the port injection back to it and it has been zero issues for them. The 2.7 is a pretty old proven block design. I don’t like the belt driven oil pump either, but that’s what it is so there isn’t much you can do. It is not true that rubber and oil don’t mix. I have a degree in rubber engineering. Kevlar and nitrile rubber are not affected by gas or oil. Rubbers like natural rubber and EPDM would definitely be broken down by oil, but those aren’t something a belt would be made out of. Think of the fuel hoses at the gas station that hold up to gasoline. That is a point though that belts wear out so it will remain to be seen how well those hold up. I think the days of being able to buy a new truck with a simple naturally aspirated engine are pretty much over sadly.

10ish years ago saw a F-150 workey was 17k new no power widows regular cab an bed air ,auto steal wheels no 4wdrive was nice

[@trackpackgt877]

14:40 why does the screen say if you have a manual transmission? You cannot get a manual transmission in a newer F-150 I've looked it don't exist am I missing something?

[@TheTommyCraft]

The software is universal across multiple vehicles and you can get a manual in the Mustang, hence why you see it mentioned there.

[@trackpackgt877]

@@TheTommyCraft oh ok makes since i really appreciate the info i should have realized it was Universal I have a manual transmission Mustang just didn't think about it thanks bro🫡

[@captainmidnight7012]

What’s the payload ?

[@matthewmamanteo9112]

What ever happened to the extended cab with the 8 foot bed? That was the build I wanted to go for but its gone now. A little disappointing.

[@harlandawson8447]

wow i remember buting my 93 F150 ,300 6 cyl 5 speed manuel trans ,no Ac ,vent Windows, with a bed cap for around 18 thousand, 50 thousand for a base truck now 😅

[@dirtbeard108]

that is $10k more than I paid for a 1988. That's a price DOUBLE in five years. It's not something new.

[@Eddie-yc5yd]

If I wanted a full-size truck, that's the one I would buy. Really love the v8 with beautiful steel wheels.

[@jameswebb321]

Agreed. I just wish they still did the white letter Goodyear Wranglers, they looked nice with the steelies. Also, vinyl seats are a must for me, so much easier to clean.

[@mcatlow8]

Personally I like the older truck much more as I bought one also I have and I love the doors on this truck it gives a sportier look and gives you a larger. Bed.

[@pauld6967]

I appreciate that you mentioned the larger fuel tank option for this truck. My father's old pickup had two gas tanks. Does Ford off the option of having a Main fuel tank AND an Auxiliary fuel tank in the F-150?

[@theodoreolson8529]

3:18 I appreciate the short primer on 4wd. Yea like everyone else has posted this is not an "afFORDable truck". It takes a car salesman to say that with a straight face.

[@samhowell6729]

2 notes: 1) not affordable. 2) Chevy literally offers 2 models of the Silverado at lower prices than this. And said Silverado’s have 4 doors, no suicide.

[@americanrambler4972]

I like this truck a lot. It’s got basically everything I want in a truck. I am getting used to the new grill. It’s got 4 wheel drive, a rear locking differential, a tow package, front recovery hooks, the 170 degree opening rear suicide door feature and a v8 engine. I don’t like the $50k price, but that is what they are charging now. So pay it or leave it. I would probably opt for a regular cab over this double cab.

[@Loganyay]

50k holy moly that’s a ripoff

[@joeychitwood6004]

Nice brother!

[@diegosolar678]

It should be cool to watch a review of a 2024 f150 police

[@senshibat8920]

Im happy with the grill lights and tail lights style The new metals dotn rust like the old 90 or 01s

[@MrDrifterful]

Last summer I bought a brand new Toyota Tacoma SR with 4 doors 4wd and the V6 for $36k OTD

[@westhavenor9513]

That wide opening back door is a wonderful idea. I'm always getting myself trapped between the doors of my older F150 in parking lots.

[@DrPizzle]

Thank GOD it has a real column shifter unlike every other company moving to those disgusting push button transmissions

[@davidparkin9017]

If I bought this, I would upgrade the wheels, get fog lights, mud flaps. Then take it to a muffler shop so that they can reconfigure the tail pipe so that it isn't as visible.

[@josipdolic6391]

I would put 20’s on that beauty and be proud

[@DarkTAwolf]

The sticker on this was what I payed for my 17' lariat

[@davidbellard2910]

Does this trim come in a crew cab?

[@COYGunners]

Yup, also a single cab

[@johnsilver7150]

These features you mention here are standard on everything. Storage box in bed is because the XL does not have the power plug. No push button start. 5.0 v8 is STANDARD.

[@derekz8074]

rhe best f-150 walk around on youtube!

[@mikelyons70]

Thank You

[@brandyarney1170]

I bought a 2006 xl 4.2 for 16400 with bedliner and tint. The world is insane. I drive a 2003 I paid 10k for in 2008 with 227xxx and I am grateful

[@user-vq3dc2se5d]

How tall is the cab, Did Ford shorten the cab, fluff the seats,

[@davidhillbrand2302]

Ford seems to not care about fleet buyers - no long bed on extra cabs and no heavy duty payload package.

[@josephpanozzo4815]

I like the column shifter. I wonder what the gas mileage is for this truck.

[@andresramirez8382]

Been waiting on my v8 f150 from you guys since November 😢

[@barrymitchell4424]

I ordered and waited 5 months

[@RedWingsFanClub]

Did you know that the Nissan Titan was the first truck to offer 90 degree door opening for the super cab? Also the first truck to offer spray in bed liner and utilitrack system from the dealer?

[@MattMorris481]

They cost this much because people keep paying.

[@donaldperrotta8514]

My 2010 F150 STX 4x4 sticker price was $ 35,000.00 …. Times and prices certainly have changed ! And yes I’m still driving my STX super cab !!!

[@2213rtx]

I bought a 2015 XL FX4 2.7 aluminum body for 34k out the door included the extended warranty which I didn't need since I haven't a problem with the truck it would of been 31k its a great truck it pulled my boat 20 center console, great gas mileage

[@gregchiropolos9885]

Hey 6.3 why don’t you tell us about the towing and payload!
