• 2016 Ford F-150 Platin...
I’m getting a 2015 platinum on Friday, I’m so excited!!! Cant wait to finally have my dream truck! This things is so beautiful, with the retracting side steps, it has the 5.0L v8, a tonneau cover and custom rims and 33” tires! First newer truck I’ve ever owned, only other truck I have ever owned was a 1985 Ford F-150, amazes me to see how far I’ve come lol. From a straight six four speed f150 with one front bench seat, am fm tape deck to this platinum with all the amenities!
Congrats, I just got a 2015 f150 platinum as well. You’ll love the truck!
@@postale1 I just added a flowmaster exhaust, cold air intake, 50 cal bullet antenna, and front windshield eyebrow.
@@kylequintana 🤤🤤🤤 holy shoot! Nice!
Getting a 2016 Platinum on Monday. I’m hella excited!
What they go for nowadays
I experienced it in Abu Dhabi with one of my friend, both for the city conditions and the off-road conditions, it was one of the best that I've ever seen.
I had a very good deal on black friday on a 2016 F150 platinum. The one I bought is equiped with the 3.5L V6 Ecoboost... reading reviews, it seemed right engine for me. Your video on the platinum validated my choice. Thanks for the thorough review !
Can't wait to receive it !
How's the ecoboost going?
Wow! That truck looks extremely good in the ingot silver exterior man!
This truck is so sweet , I love the front end compared to other Ford trucks . This is top notch design
This was a great video. I knew I loved the F150 Platinum and you showed me some details about this truck that I did not know about. I ordered my 2016 whoo hoooooo!!!!! I can't wait, thanks for the video.
+Regina E Awesome ! Congrats :)
Regina E please, I need your opinion. As a woman do you like the polished look of the Platinum better than the Chrome on the King Ranch?
why won't you do a review on the 2017 Ford F-150 Limited ... If you really want to see a truly Gorgeous Truck . By far the MOST LUXURIOUS TRUCK EVER BUILT PERIOD . THE ULTIMATE BUSINESS MAN'S TRUCK HANDS DOWN ......
Like this video . Had dealer put in an order in on f150, but if it doesn't have lane keeping alert will have to put in order with that feature. It may have it with all the option that are on it ,but if not have to make change on order . They are going to check on it.
Got mine in 2021 and is the model with out the 720 package. I like the truck. When it gets high milage the maintenance gets expensive. 3.5 ltr EB. Max Tow package, bed rug and Revolver 4x bed cover.
Thank you ...I enjoyed the walk throu. I think it's a fabulous truck. I love the dash cockpit..it has everything.. I would love to take it on the road long distance. In fact cross country maybe. It is everything I wanted in a truck. Bravo Ford!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Joe locust from Brooklyn NY
This is my new truck !
I had a 79 f150 that i put though hell for 19 years you make a truck like that ill buy it! That truck was in a flood . pulled many of cars out of a snow bank! THATS THE TRUCK WE NEED!
Definitely! You do need it!
Nice vid man im gonna get a no replacement for displacement sticker when i get mine in a month. Super excited

I bought one in black. No regrets!
Very well reviewed and presented, thank you.
+Abdullah Al-Rashdi Thank you !
good reviews! as a sales consultant you answered lots of questions/quick tips I had and use daily. Hope you are selling lots of vehicles with your product knowledge!
+Patrick Riolo Thank you !
Very nice video sir. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
+Jon Carney Thank You !
+AutoVlog Sir U r a true Ford guy. FORD BUILT TOUGH
Watching this guy talk about this truck is about as exciting as watching grass grow.....
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.
I disagree. For example I wouldn't want the factory spray due to line x being better and equal in price. Other family members would like a carpeted bed for their sales products.
WoW !! Now that's a truck with all the bells & whistles !!!! BYE BYE GMC !!!!! The Denali (GMC's Top trim level truck) is a Joke compared to this truck AND Ford offers one more trim level up from this as well !! Yes, the F150 Limited !! Great Job Ford !!
+Lew Scagnetti ITS NICE THAT U NO WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT WITH THE KING OF TRUCKS BRO...THE UNDISPUTED TRUCK CHAMPION.
These fake comments were brought to you by Ford
It's all fun and games until you pull up next to that 6.2l
@@cabrownd2nd I’ve pulled up to plenty Chevys and have smoked every last one of them 💨! Ford ain’t no joke!!
@@cabrownd2nd not worried. That 10 speed will fail before the finish line!
Im happy with my 1950 F-1 truck.
Cant afford the new Platinum... -.-
Okay, I am a 17 year old female... And I want a truck so bad. I really want to have one that is legit. This truck seems legit... 😍😍😍😍 I am going to try and get this truck
can you get more cameras so we can see different point of views while your driving. a pov would be nice
Awesome review, two questions:
1) Is Sync 3 a major improvement?
2) What are the major differences between Platinum and Lariat besides massaging seats and the badging?
+MrDefeater94 Thank you!
Yes Sync3 is a major improvement in my oppinion, MFT looks better but Sync3 is more user friendly.
The differences are technical features like the multi contour seats and power running boards, some exterior styling differences as well as interior.
I love it with one concern , is it a smooth ride or is it as some complained bumpy ride.
Your comments is really appreciated.
we have one as a company truck and you get a little bumpy but it is nice as hell
I run my tire pressure lower, 32 lbs, and I find the ride is very comfortable
thx for the good review, u are the only one who showed the backseats in this car. it´s a really nice car, i like that Ford now use high quallity material inside, now it looks more like a german car inside. everybody knows that Ford make very good engines. they really should sell this car in Europe, because it isn´t so expensive like other big cars.
+Edin Edo Thank you ! And thanks for watching :) I think the only reason these trucks don't sell as much in Europe is because of the difference in fuel cost VS the United States.
+AutoVlog i know, but there is hope, the 2.7L looks really good. i Hope that Ford also gonna make a 3.0L diesel engine. now we can buy the Mustang and i hope the next car they bring to us is the F150.
I'm seriously considering buying one of these, specifically a 2016 or 2017 pre owned f150 platinum. How is the interior noise levels at speed? I live in a very busy area and use highways a lot, so a vehicle with low wind noise and low road noise is very important!
Yea, they are nice, quite a hefty sticker price but great looking! To each their own but I'd be happy with an XLT with the 302a pkg. Plenty of stuff for me. I'd be interested to see a drive/opinion video on one with the 3.5 regular non-ecoboost V6. Seems like it'd be suitable for a daily driver F150 if you don't tow large trailers.
+klc317 Yeah, I have an XLT with the 302A package and it's great :) I would not mind a Platinum though ;)
Yep....I watched your videos on that. But yea, if somebody were to give me a new platinum I certainly wouldn't complain....lol
Great review from classic autovlog
The spare tire lock at 10:03 is a pain. They're cheaply made and in climates that use road salt, will rust to the point where they no longer unlock. They also don't provide much security as they can be broken off with a screwdriver and a pair of pliers (which you'll have to do once they become inoperable due to rust). I wish Ford would change these to stainless steel or come up with a better design. In $50,000+ trucks they should put more thought into these details.
OK, I have a 2010 Harley Davidson Ford F-150. I have noticed a lot of the same features with this one. The biggest changes are obviously the cosmetics. Are there any other major changes?
whats the difference between the platinum vs the limited?
+Vetteman6363 Not that much, basically appearance.. the Limited comes with 22" wheels it has different badging and Interior.. Most of the available features are the same on the Platinum and Limited
+Vetteman6363 the limited is also only available with the 3.5 ecoboost
about 10,000 dollars lol
very good video
dose the drl led front lights need the head lights to be on for them to work or do they work all the time ?
They are daytime running lights, you don;t need the head lights to be on :)
Thanks for the details video, great information needed for a review. I pick mine up this Weds, exact same color, setup, options but with added spray in liner, undercoating, rain guard and rear try-fold cover
I guess it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Gregory Ace Flixportal =)
@Ian Aryan thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!
@Gregory Ace you are welcome :D
I’m surprised the gas door can be opened by hand instead of an interior button
very nice video!! question: does it skid to much? fishtail?
+Marcus Goncalves Thank you ! It does have a tendency to skid a little bit IF you are really pushing it in 2WD and there are wet conditions.. but I think most trucks do that, they are pretty tail happy. A solution is to put the truck in the AWD option :)
+AutoVlog many tks for your reply! Im moving to USA..and im totally in love for this truck. my only concern is skid..however, as you said..keep it AWD No damage if i keep it AWD all the time? beside gas..any other concern? also, im wondering to change for another tire..wider like 295
Nice review.
Can't wait to get ne one.😁👍
Thank you for the video. Great Job
+Danny Nguyen Thanks for watching !
Great video and good explanation Ford features. Question how easy is it to temporally remove the front deflector or the black rubber/plastic piece that hangs below the front bumper below the tow hooks to go off roading? i know that it helps with fuel economy, but reduces front end ground clearance. after returning from off roading would reinstall. Thank you, bought the 2016 Platinum and love it. Your review me decide to purchase. john
+John Kaper Thank You ! happy to hear I could be of help :) I have actually never removed the front deflector so I would not be able to give you a good answer on that one. I am sure that you can find that out online somewhere !
Thank you for reply to deflector question.
+John Kaper No problem
"Shake ya ass! Watch yourself"
That song is stuck in my head after watching this!!
what is that drawing of white lines on the tail lights?
Great review thank you.
You're welcome :)
Ah, remember the good ole days Mike?
great review
Can you guys evaluate a truck with a full bed??
per the question regarding the wind deflector under the front bumper Ford says it can easily be removed for snow and off road. Thought might be interested in knowing. John
How is the gas mileage between the 5.0 and 3.5 ecoboost?
+Juan Santos Jr EcoBoost gets slightly better then the V8, however the V8 gets good mileage as well, I made a video on it here with my own truck: ruclips.net/video/o5p6uWQkddE/видео.html
+Juan Santos Jr
I've had both and the gas mileage is basically the same... Really prefer the 5.0 over the Ecoboost
nice pickup. what camera do you use?
+Oleg G I use a Iphone and GoPro Hero 4
+AutoVlog brilliant video quality there...
Shake yo ass! right as he turns up the radio lol.
+coolermaster1979 lol
Why have a shifter at all?
do the usb ports integrate with the audio system to play mp3\wma files?
+kelanth462 yes
That’s my truck
Cool Pickup man!
Nice truck, some one give me the price of the Platinum. thanks!
11:35 wrong information. The Platnum/King Ranch/Limited come standard with all LED lights, no HIDs what-so-ever.
That's correct. And optional on the lariat with tech package.
Justin Powell standard on the 502a package and up
Does 2H mean its in 2-Wheel drive only? IF so does that save MPG?
Yeah, 2H is 2 wheel drive and it will save you on fuel
+AutoVlog you replied fast. And I'm still watching the video.
Echoboost
Very nice video. Thanks for taking the time to make this and pointing out all the nice features of the Platinum. I have to agree with Joshua's comment though. There is no way that there is not even one bad thing about the truck. Without mentioning any negatives it makes me wonder about review bias, and it makes this video (as good as it is), much less valuable to me. This is more of a "nice features" video than a proper "review". I hope this comment helps you make a better reviews in the future. No hate here. I've watched a lot of your videos and I'm a fan. Thanks again.
+Jeff Hirata If you watch my reviews you will notice that I many times point out negatives about the cars, just watch the ones on my Fusion.. and I sell Ford's for a living... I am not going to try to find negatives on a vehicle if I don't notice one at that time to make it a "proper review"
There’s not a bad thing about this truck!
2015-2016 was the best looking exterior!! 2021 is hideous, very disappointing.
imagine a expedition with that front!
that would be awesome
We have been dreaming about having a Platinum F-150.
Me too :)
muy linda cuando traen a argentina,,
i want this truck for my bussyness
the song at 12:50 tho
No spray-in bedliner on the Platinum model?? You definitely don't want to scratch and ding up the bed :/
+Cuong Vu Bed liners are usually put in by the customer
it is a nice truck but personally i would like a XLT with the 5.0
Ed Rocha I would get the XLT because i think you get the most bang for your buck with that model also i would get the V8 because it doesn't work as hard and has the best sound also it is more reliable and cheeper to maintain than the ecoboost engines.
+Daniel Lockwood I own the 15 plat 3.5. absolutely love it.. by far the best and quickest truck Ive ever owned.
+jklewisjkldev I like that truck too I would just rather have a V8. Don't get me wrong though that's a good truck too.
+Daniel Lockwood Own a 2015 XLT with few added packages... V8 sounds awesome. Very happy with my choice.
MrHoojaszczyk I have a 2008 f150 XLT with a few packages too It also has the 5.4 V8 which sounds awesome too.
I like mine.
like, on wall street?
About on par with a 2010 tundra...
My very pricy dream car lol
So why would someone buy this over a raptor?
V8
I bought this vehicle. loved it until it started pissing all over my wife in the passenger seat. Water leak from the sunroof after only one year. Cost me $200 to fix what I would consider a manufactures defect. I just went over 35,000 miles and so they say, "it's out of warranty." It's the last Ford that I will buy. I'm going back to Toyota. Leaky Aluminum POS!!!
So it is a lye. Nissan claims that the Titan is the only trick to have a 360 camera with front view.
Your full in depth review couldn't mention one single downfall or concern on this truck? You literally didn't have one negative on this 35+minute video. Cmon man... there are enough dealer video's exactly the same.
Joshua there's not much in terms of cons, maybe the annoying double honk when you leave the truck with the key when the truck is on.
1:03
WE NEED A WORK TRUCK ! FOR THE WORKING MAN !DIRT MUD DOOR IN RAIN!COME ON !IT NEEDS TO KEEP UP TO THE WORKING MAN!GETAWAY FROM BLING!WE DONT WONT NICE WE WONT WORK!
they have the XL trim that. ive seen them as low as 25k OTD here in Houston Texas.
this is a tradesman truck
Dude, get a lapel mic. Stop relying on the poor camera mic.
Beware...that panoramic glass roof leaks.
Eric Johnson 3 years later how’s that water damage on the leather?
Buenos dias, Yo tengo uno identico a este, hace un mes y medio, se me desvielo, las vielas perforaron el monoblock en los costados del motor, el motor quedo inutil. Ya me lo entregaron, y lo voy a vender, aquí donde Yo vivo hay muchas quejas de este motor en carros desde el 2015 hasta el 2020, disculpa que te diga que este motor no sirve, no lo compren, es una basura, suerte con tus carros Ford.

😍😍😍😍😍👍👍
Since when does a "business man" need a truck? They typically need a cubical to sit at not a truck. Wish ford would get back to making trucks for what they use to be made for a "WORKING MAN! 60-70k is absolutely ridiculous! Even "lower" trim levels are still in the high 40s low 50s crazy. Use to be 10-12 years ago mid 40s was a loaded in f150 and a guy could get into one for mid 30s new. A true shame.
they do have base model trucks
then get a xlt..lol
SPNFENDER you know mabe FORD WANTS TO BE CREATIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME OK!!!!!
businessmen don't sit in cubicles looooool, this truck is tailored for guys who own construction companies or as a family car, when you own a company you're not gonna be hauling shit everyday and you're probably visiting multiple sites a day so you need some comfort but if need be you can still put tools and haul stuff or take the family to the lake for a vacation while towing the boat.
john davis well said. Thats what i use mine for
Sorry F150 isn't quality as job one anymore in any trim level just a whole pile of trouble! !!
