2018 Ford F-150 Lariat 2.7 EcoBoost - Redline: Review

- With a title like "the best-selling vehicle in the world" the Ford F-150, making changes to it can seem like a daunting task for engineers. Thankfully, Ford knows what truck buyers want and the latest 2018 model represents the perfect blend of capability, refinement, luxury, technology, and fuel-efficiency. There is a reason nearly a million American take a new truck home every year.
I'm a Toyota guy, I love toyotas. I looked at a Tundra and was doing all I could to get the dealership to actually deal on the price, no go. Out of frustration I went to test an f150 and had no intention on buying, since I haven't owned an American car in over 30 years buying a Ford was crazy talk. After the test drive I looked at my wife and said this is the nicest vehicle I have ever driven. Talk about comfortable, those captain seats are pure luxury, the 2.7 is really powerful, the cabin is dead quiet, the supercrew is enormous, I mean you could live in it. Needless to say I bought the f150.
Assateague Cottage agreed, I bought it also. I’ve had it for a few months and love it.
get the hilux its amazing
Laughed at this. I was the guy that purchased the Toyota without testing the F-150 because, well...why drive anything else?!?!? Dropped by Ford for giggles to just test-drive the 150...and...whoops, I'm the proud owner of a 2018 F-150. I love it. It's essentially a luxary SUV with a bed!! Have kids? You'll love this truck for the super crew space!!
Welcome to the real world and getting away from the Toyota lie. SO sick and tired of the paradigm of "Toyota is the best" It is not based on fact.
Based on what thunder ass? Your opinion? What do you know? God I hate ass hats like you who talk shit.
Chevy runs in the family blood for me, was in the market for a 2021 Chevy custom, but after the dealer didn’t want to work with me , I took a left on the Ford dealer down the street never ever thinking I would buy one & walked out with one.. not just because they actually helped me, but wen I got inside the truck, it was amazing , had more features than a Chevy and I was sold ..this was 3days ago, here’s to making new Ford memories with my wife and kids 🍻
I just picked up a 2015 2.7 last year,honestly I luv it. I don’t do any towing ,but over all very happy with it. I’ve heard some great things about the 5.0,but for my business and every day needs, no disappointments.
Sticking to 5.0 Love the roar and all the power. No Ecoboost BS to deal with.
@@MrHoojaszczyk carrying around jugs of oil to keep the 5.0 fed would get tiresome. Eco doesn’t have any problems
...and 55 F-150s were sold in America during this video!
And they've all been recalled and had to have warranty work done by now. 😂
@@jpotts1515gaming
No they don't always recall. When they do it's always a software band aids fix. Look up all the class action lawsuits against Ford. And Ford's also have issues shutting off while driving. Look up f150 throttle bodies. (Which they didn't recall and still use)
Great review. I purchased the extended cab XL model with the 2.7 and 4wd. It came in right around $40k. Roomy cab, and consistent 20mpgs. It's a great truck.
Better than the gas guzzling GM trucks! 2wd can get 26 mpg on the highway which is a first truck to ever reach that rating! If you get the smaller engine
@@awmusichistory I have a 2018, 2.7, 3:55 gear, 2wd, super-crew that has a rating of 20/26, I just went on a trip of 100 miles last week and got 26.2 According to what the dash calculator said. I have seen a best of 27.1
Im a Toyota guy too, LOVED my Tacoma for being light and reliable. But the dash rattles and horrible transmission made me trade it. My '18 STX is the best looking truck out there IMO, and 4wd Supercab is only 4300lbs. The transmission is a mind reader, skips gears intelligently, lots of drive modes. And the power is crazy, u never have to go over 2,800rpm to haul ass.
2.7 is probably the best engine I've ever had in a half ton. Not the most peak horse power, obviously. But 400 ft lbs of torque and even though it has 70 hp less than the 5.0 it pulls harder. It pulls way harder than my dad's 5.3 Silverado.
My buddy has a 2018 5.3 Sierra and the 2.7 in my truck will out pull that easily. And has a way faster 0-60. And my F150 2.7 4x4 Screw averages 18mpg where his Sierra 4x4 Screw averages 14.
It's the ideal engine for 90% of truck owners for sure. Ford definitely has it figured out.
2018 F150 lariat 2.7 here. Get great gas mileage, no problem with power. We tow a 4500lbs travel trailer. Never a moment do I miss V8 and our mind were set to buy the 5.0. Luckily the truck that I wanted was in a remote lot that we had to swap a 2.7 F150 to... and the rest is history👍
I was really skeptical about the 2.7 liter Ecoboost until I drive a supercab FX4 and I was really surprised at the acceleration and how nice and quite the ride was.
The 2.7L EcoBoost isn’t a bad thing. It’s actually quicker off the line, has the same 0-60 as the 3.5L and gets incredible mileage. The towing capacity in that configuration is still around 7000lbs (check out The Fast Lane Truck Ike Gauntlet run with this truck, it’s great).
I was dead set on the 3.5L, but after doing more research I decided the 2.7L is actually the far better choice if you don’t plan on towing more than 7000lbs on a regular basis.
I’ve had it for two days and I’m getting around 11l/100k average, and I’ve been having some fun with the throttle.
I could of swore the 2.7l ecoboost 4x4 had a towinh capacity of 9,999lbs. Are you sure?
@@anythingadrenaline4515 the printout I have for a 2018 4x4, 2.7 SuperCab model is 9100 lb max
My first time ever buying a truck,and so for I'm loving it
You can't beat forced induction . I test drove one today , and I've always said I'd never get a v6 ,but I'm definitely going to be getting one. It's stupid quick and very comfortable
I've owned many pickup trucks. My last three have been the Ford F-150. I have never had any reliability issues, I've only done oil changes. I've had Toyota's and they've been in the shop more often! I've driven all from The Big Three and the Ford drives the best. There's no question that Ford is ahead of the game when it comes to full size pickup trucks. That is why RAM and GM are introducing new models. Their current stock cannot compete with the current Ford. As you know, General Motors will now be putting aluminum components on the new GMC Chevy twins. It's simple, the Ford drives better, has better gas mileage, best crash test scores, best towing and payload ( depends how equipped),has more interior space, and a flat rear floor. I just love them and it's going to be hard to get me to switch. It is the number one selling vehicle in North America for a reason!
Jason Bourne all I ever drove was f150s and I would have to agree. Engine has always been reliable. I have a 2005 with 215,000 miles and still runs great. Will purchase another after I get another 200,000 miles out of my current one. To buy a new one wouldn't make sense for me now, my old ford runs better now than when I purchased it..lol
Agreed. Toyota's are pretty tough vehicles however their trucks are not that great and often very expensive to maintain. Out of the 3 American manufacturers, Ford is probably at the top at least when it comes to trucks.
Achuuu! Bull
This is personally the best looking F150 ever.
Except for 2nd gen lightnings of course.
jared rayfield Is the second generation lightning the square bodies from the mid 1990s?
Richard Ojeda no, '99-'04. Ive got an '02 so im a bit biased.
jared rayfield I like the generation before the the 99-04 the square bodies, but that's just my opinion. I love the supercharged engines the second generation has though.
you only have to replace the engine every 3000 miles.
You know this is a popular vehicle if almost every comment is someone trashing it. 😂😂😂 I’m guessing this will be Redline’s most popular review of 2018 in terms of views. We love trucks and we love to hate trucks.
It’s because they can’t afford it, so therefore they hate on it😂.
Truck loyalty is blindly the worst. A lot of Truck drivers can never appreciate the market
Funny how we latch onto a brand, sometimes because of what our parents drove.
One or these was issued to me from the company I work for. 2020 F150 2.7l 4x4 4 door Lariat. What a great truck!! A/C in the seats is AMAZING
Bought a 2018 2.7 Eco SuperCrew 4x4 last Oct 2022 and love it! The “get up and go” is impressive, and it feels much more powerful than the Chevys and Fords I grew up with back in the day. It’s a pleasure to drive in town and on the highway. Lots of room in the cabin. I really really like this truck and envision sticking with the Ford F150 down the road.
Never had a problem with our ford and had it about 2 years already with 40000 miles
Still got it?
2.7 is one badass little engine
Fords been knocking out the park with this generation f-150 those ecoboost engines are no joke either.
I’m a Kid that lives around Chrysler, Toyota and GM and the Ford is just fit for me in my mind, I want this as my first vehicle because everyone loves every truck except for fords and I want to change that cause the truck is beautiful ❤️
Love my 2004 5.4 liter,ready to update to 5.0 liter...
This is why I watch Redline!!! Excellent honest reviews!!!
I got 85000 on my 2010 Lariat and I still love it. Gonna keep it at least another 10 years.
I have this same exact truck, same color, same wheels, but the 3.5 Ecoboost, and I am enjoying it a lot!
Man I just bought my first new vehicle, I got a 2018 crew cab with the stx package in lightning blue with this same engine and it's absolutely killing me having to wait for it to come in. That little 2.7 truly is a wicked fast motor, I was super surprised. Mines 2wd with 3:55 gears. Can't wait!
How much did it cost?
I'm not a Ford fan at all, but this F-150 shows why they've controlled the pickup truck game forever. I love the fact that they offer so many engine choices. Plus I think this 2.7 actually has a pretty good sounding tone. That said, I'd probably go for the 5.0 V8 because their EcoBoost engines have issues with carbon buildup from what I've read. Great job Ford!
The first gen did. They took care of that with the 2015 models.
Good to know. The specs on the 3.5 are outstanding. That's really the engine to go with.
I have the 2018 3.5L EcoBoost. Based on my experience, I would say go with the 2.7L unless you tow all the time. I love my truck when towing my 30' camper, but when it is empty, it is a little too much. It reminds me of the muscle cars we would build back in high school with a cam too big and gears and a torque converter that don't match. It is hard to drive smoothly. If you drive too lightly, it skips gears and has horrible turbo lag until it takes off like a rocket. You can seriously unintentionally lay rubber at 30 mph when accelerating in city traffic. And if you drive it is sport mode, you will outpace traffic and it kills your gas mileage. The 2.7L is more civilized.
Well done, mahalo. Considering this as a used truck purchase in 2023.
Superb review. I've watched a few of your reviews and you certainly do a great job. Very helpful. Thank you.
Can't wait to get mine late this year. I'll be placing an order for for a 18-19 regular cab, xl, short bed, with the 5.0l and 4x4. Boy am I excited.
Svt. Junior awesome man sounds great 👍
Great Review - for a non-Truck guy you did a great job! I have always had F150s, I am looking to replace my 2009 5.4L Lariat with 239K miles. I drive about 500 miles a week in Texas 65-90mpg roads so this could be a good truck. I tow my tractor 10-30 miles now and then so I think this 2.7L will be a nice option since 90% of the time I will be just on the highway. Thanks again
hi
You are the best you tube AUTO reviewer out there,, i will buy the f150 in the fall and just bought 3 of youre tee shirts and will very proud to where them.
They sold 909,000 F150's in 2018 which is a hell of a lot compared to the competition.
I’m in the market, And I drove one last week and it was a pleasant surprise. Btw, get the 5.0, trust me! I drove a 2.7 & a 5.0 back to back. 5.0 all day!
Tim's Tool Reviews it’s a beast with a Roush blower.
The 5.0 gets nearly exact same mpg. 😉 Plus it won't have a fake V8 piped in cab sound 😂
3.5 is good to, but gotta love that V8 sound.
Tim's Tool Reviews My local dealer let me take the 5.0 for a couple of hours so I took it home hooked up my 28 ft bhs rv with it and I honestly thought what a dog my 2010 with the 5.4 ltr towed better. Went back and took the same truck with the 3.5 ltr and the difference was substantial. Sure the 5.0 sounds better but no thanks I bought the 3.5 ltr.
H&P Customs I didn’t get a chance to drive the 3.5. I just liked how the 5.0 accelerated so naturally. (And it did sound good).
I don't know why people trash trucks. It is always a personal choice. It is preference. You might like the looks of a sierra gmc and you might not. You might like the back seat of a Ford and maybe not. To each his own as they say. As long as you maintain the truck and you like how it looks and behaves...go for it. I hate people who trash one over the other. Everyone has a bad experience to any level in any make. There are Fords who have over 700,000 clicks and also GMCS and CHevs, RAMS, NISSAN, and also Toyotas. Depends how you take care of them. If you have always been a FORD guy then go for it. If you are a TUNDRA fan then go for it. Be kind to each other. Respect what each make offers for the consumer.
Exactly. They are ALL TRASH...Go buy what pleases you and piss on what anyone says, because THEY ALL BREAK. Worked in a service dept at a dealer. We fixed all makes!
I WAS a Toyota guy, I loved Toyotas, for 20 years. I watched and considered the Tundra but after test driving a Silverado and F150, I abandoned my thoughts about the Tundra and grabbed my F150. This truck is so comfortable, such a good hauler and tower and is fast. Four years later and I'm still in love with it. Looking at the Powerboost now and might wait to check out the Lightning. FORD still builds the best truck......... don't let a Toyota sales person tell you any different.
Ford’s killing it these days
Maticalise Music Master killing their passengers. Another recall. bitch truck.
snazari1994 Every auto manufacturer has recalls.
Maticalise Music Master noooooooooooooo
Maticalise Music Master yea but how is there reliability crap
Not really basically just recycled soda and beer cans
Great truck and engine combo, over 50k miles on my 2.7tt.
Cuban Rider love my 2.7 too, 16k had it about a year, still amazed by how well this lil v6 runs, fast quiet and get good mpg’s. Cuban couldn’t agree more!
Looking to pick up a 2018 XLT with the 2.7. How’s your truck doing since your comment?
@@wjb111 Ended up getting a 2020, same engine, same configuration, but got the 36gal tank and electronic lock for the rear differential. I had a very rare rocker arm failure around 2k miles. The dealership had to repair it and replaced the exhaust cam. No further issues, just went over 10k miles. If given the choice, I will continue to buy the same truck.
It's been the number one selling truck in the USA since 1977
Conservative America you're correct my friend I have a few.
1999 was the best year and also best selling
Because they are so cheap. They break down alot.
I've never been a truck guy. But my goodness I need one of these, for reasons
Thanks man , just test drove one today! You gave me more info than the salesman..
Thanks for the review. Now I am waiting for the 2018 Expedition review!
The 2.7 is the best engine that many people don't know about because it gets overlooked. There's not a GM 5.3 that'll touch it!
When your 2.7 is 15 years old like my 5.3 that I drive every day, call me.
Well the 5.3 doesn't have carbon build up issues, or 2 EXPENSIVE turbos to fry, or tons of plumbing packing the engine bay, or a elaborate DOHC timing chain set up, or a ridiculous fuel system- Ford owner here
@northlander Take the mittens off when you type.
@@spareparts7630 Yeah... based on your opinion. You somehow believe that just because it has turbos that it will fail early. Very ignorant of engineering.
@@theejoeylee BS
Ford makes the best trucks
My wife wants a Honda Pilot, I want and F-150 sent her this video hoping this convinces her my way LOL.
@@cn2673 get a ridgeline
I love the sound it makes when you get in the truck and it starts chiming
The 2.7 ecoboost is now The F150’s best selling engine, because they perform, quiet, strong and economical. No they don’t sound as good as the 5.0, no they won’t tow 12,000 pounds, but for 80% of truck buyers I think this engine is more than enough. The majority of State Troopers, not a easy life, in WV run ecoboost powered Explorers and 300,000, not out of the question for these engines with proper maintenance. So far I love mine, 22,000 mile 0 problems and yes I’d buy the same exact truck again!
Had my mind set before the test drive to buy the 5.0. Figure to drive the 2.7 for chit and gaggle. End up buying the 2.7. I don't tow and don't haul much.The truck drive much nicer with the 2.7 than 5.0. Will buy another 2.7 without any hesitation! Now the 5.0 is the only choice in my Wife 18 mustang, cause she loves the rumble of a V8.
Does anyone else just love the bong that it makes? It's the only one in the market that doesn't bug me.
I love that pleasant entry sound in Fords!
I still have a really hard time with $50k+ for a 1/2 ton truck. I hear what you saying ... but that's a hard number to swallow. Same with all the 1/2 ton trucks.
Drive away for less than 30,000 $ with an F150 XL ... XLT and Lariat trims are not mandatory.
Just wait for the rebates..
Sunny Deng I just purchased a Silverado LTZ for over 13k off. I like Fords I just wanted something different. I had an 2006 model, they're great trucks.
Brian Waller check out XL with the STX package. It gives it some really good upgrades. Like 20in wheels, takes away the middle front seat and replaces it with a center console adds the 8in touch screen with sync 3, adds the air vents in the back, bed liner, the grill is also different and look really good, same color front and back bumper as the truck and maybe some more. I actually think it looks better then the XLT. The XLT doesnt even have the center console unless you get the sport package. You get more out of the XL STX then you would get from the XLT for way cheaper. Here is a great video that explains it.
ruclips.net/video/2wgNn7Mls7o/видео.html
2017 XL crew cab. 2.7 I can get 26mpg hwy. Plenty of power. Paid 30k big screen 20" wheels. Love it.
11:32 I thought you were going to say it could fit a huge person
Great review Sofyan! You review it so well it made me want a truck and I had no notion of owning a truck !
For sure switching to a Truck next year. F-150 is on my mind, The Lariat Sport with the 5.0
for some oddest reason I find fully loaded Platinum F-150 more luxurious than most Lincoln and Cadillac sedans...
It’s more expensive
And the Platinum isn't even the highest trim cause the Lmited is the most expensive
I just traded my 2014 super crew with a 5.0 for a new super crew with the 2.7, the 5.0 did sound good, but the 2.7 is quicker to me, it unreal the power it makes. I’ve drove all the new trucks with the v8’s and the eco boost holds its own with all of them. The eco diesel in the dodge is strong also.
TacRatt60 I have a 2015 f150 sport with the v8, one day I drove my brothers 3.5 to the store and I was like wow this is fast, then I got right back in mine and was blown away by the immediate response of my 5.0 compared to the turbos lag, the 2.7 may feel quicker to you, but it certainly isn’t, not even close, sorry
You do have to drive them differently, but the turbo motors are definitely faster. There are innumerable published tests proving that.
The new 5.0 makes 80 more whp than the 2015. It is only .2 seconds slower in the quarter mile than a 3.5 and had a higher trap speed so it was gaining on the top side. The 3.5 is a little bit stronger but I think the v8 will be more reliable over the years.
Just bought the 18 2.7 yesterday un friggen believable what a truck
Very thorough and informative. Much more useful information for making a purchase decision. Thanks!
2:00 The XLT is the trim most people choose.
Right? Most people are not going to spend upwards of 70 grand for a truck, even 60.
All that stupid electronic crap (Truckers hate) raises the price. Its a yuppy soy boy truck
It's stupid that the Lariat and King Ranch is basically F250 diesel territory.
I'm a proud Explorer owner but my family needs have grown so I'm currently looking to jump into an F-150! I'm not ruling out an XLT but I'm seriously considering the Lariat...not cheap but I believe it's the best bang for your buck!
A lot of people choose the XL STX trim as well
I have a 2.7 XLT Sport. Love it. Best part is I get 18 MPG on average.
I have a 2016 XLT sport with the 3.5 and I average 19.6
I have a 2017 model... I got it before the 2018 model was leaked, and I was upset, but that didn't stop me, doing a front end swap and I can't wait to get it back, I just love the 2018 look
That's a beautiful truck. Not sure what color I'd get though. I love the perfectly round wheel wells that match the wheel/tire perfectly. This is how a truck is supposed to look.
Makes it look slab-sided. That year Silverado with the flared, squared fenders and wheel wells was maybe the best-looking pickup ever.
@@mrpoizun the best looking dump truck maybe
I really like the 2.7t, it is peppy.
Is it stupidity or ignorance that compels people to comment on the reliability of a vehicle they don't own.
D Tay i really hate that
Cause ford is shit😌
Ford vehicles have been the most recalled since 2004. Most of their recalls have stayed out of the limelight, but because of their massive sales volume and expansive vehicle lineup, it stands to reason that their vehicles will experience more recalls.
Recently, Ford F-Series trucks including the best-selling Ford F-150 have been recalled for transmission issues related to an output speed sensor, affecting 202,000 trucks. Other recalls such as the driver’s air bag module recall on Ford Flex and related vehicles affected only 200 vehicles.
And JD Powers 2016 Dependability Study
Overall, the study paints a troubling picture of the reliability of certain brand vehicles, most notably Ford and Dodge.
Ford, which had the second-worst score in the 2016 survey with 204 problems per 100 vehicles.
Mirrek Balderson jd powers most reliable truck of 2018 is the f150
Consumer Reports for reliability. They don’t take advertising money from manufacturers so they’re pretty unbiased.
Solid review. Excited to see the 3.0 Diesel reviews.
I have driven GM trucks for 25 years but I will say that the current generation of Ford F150s are very impressive. I recently took out a 2018 Sierra, 2018 Ram, and a 2018 F150 for a test drive. The F150 was the most impressive. I was particularly pleased with the amount of interior space the truck had. The only thing that I've never liked about Ford trucks is the fact that they tend to sit higher than the Ram and GM models. I'm getting old now so it's a bit cumbersome getting things in and out of a taller bed. I will wait to see the new GM model that's coming out for 2019. But if I had to pick today, I'd actually be leaning towards giving the new Ford a try. The only tough decision would be going with the 2.7L or the 5.0L.
Many GM cars and trucks are assembled outside the USA, unlike Fords! After we bailed them out for a cost of $12 B! They continue to send work overseas!
Get the Ford F-150!
Can't wait for you to test 2019 Ram. I saw it at car show in DC and it looks great! Great review as always btw
Nemo The Fish i still laugh about the inspiration of the design language for it. It sounds like such a gimmick.
Love the 5.0L Beat
Cool black 2018 ford f-150 video
Just picked up the 2018 F150 Limited with the 3.5 L. Holy shit, why would anyone pick a V8 competitor? Power and efficiency at its equilibrium... What a fantastic Truck! Excellent job, Ford.
Best truck ever made
Great video but I do have to admit you are right that is the best truck in America and Canada it was 51 years straight in Canada is number one selling truck but actually I think it's 52 now
Very informative, and excellent Colaboration on the machine it self, Makes me want to BUY a FORD F 150
Good Review Of 2018 Ford F-150. 😀
Need me one of these
aybe someone said this already but I'm not going to read through 1000 comments to find out. The Lariat is not the most popular trim. XLT is
Yeah i caught that too HA
That's Exactly the kind of Truck I want, all black
You are always the best in whichever vehicle you showcase sir.
BTW, the Ram passed the Chevy Silverado in sales last year and is the #2 vehicle in America. I don't see that changing anytime soon.....
Thats how it always is. Ram comes out with something flashy but people learn how shitty they are so the sales go right back to rock bottom.
I chose the 5.0 V8.
Can't beat the sound of the V8 , plenty of power.
Cajun Kevin that was my first choice until I learned that many of the 5.0s burn a lot of oil ! I guess I’m getting in Ecoboost
@@MrScoobieman 5.0s have issues early, ecoboosts have issues later. Your choice but smart people buy Chevy.
@@andybub45 and GM have issues always
Andy's Shop Chevy is garbage no thanks
I’m making a big life changing move. I’m going from a 2018 Subaru STI I owned for 3 years to a 2018 Ford F-150. I need comfort and space.
Great truck, anyone else looking at the homes in the background!? There huge!
That's Northern Virginia.... money!
I have looked at RUclips videos comparisons of all the motors offered in the F-150. Mechanics prefer the simplicity of the natural 5.0. Heavy haulers tie with the 5.0/3.5 eco boost. The 2.7 eco is the most desired by families for towing up to about 3500 lbs and Fun driving. I am only pulling 2200 lbs so I will choose either the 2.7 or 3.5 bc ecoboost bc apparently they are the most fun to drive.
I have the 3.5L, but would suggest the 2.7L if all you pull is 2200 lbs. You will be happier with that motor.
I took out the 3.5L V6, 5.0L V8 and the 2.7L V6. If your not towing heavy, go for the 2.7L V6. It drove the same as a V8 pretty much with much better gas mileage.
2200lbs? You can save a bunch of money by using a Civic.
@@dchawk81 I’ll bet your civic is a real beast,, for you anyway
man almost every comment here is just a comment ripping on the truck
The haters are coming from GM and FCA trucks - it's whatever
Redey1290 it’s probably just the engine, I still think it’s a nice truck- (old school) chevy nigga
masterwhopper414 what’s fca?
fiat chrysler america i think
guy proulx yeah I looked it up lol my bad I'm wrong
Great truck, please make a video on the XL or XLT as most people will be buying one of those
He’s only going to be Abel to do that if Ford sends him one
I was a Chevy. Has let me down over 10 year span. Now i went to ram. No regrets. But tbh I'm starting to get urges to get a f150. That's why in here. I have never owned any ford vehicle.
I've owned a few F-150's. Your not missing anything. Stick with gm or ram. Better yet, Toyota.
About a year I’ve had my STX Crew 4WD, in that time and nearly 15,000 miles it has been flawless, quick, quiet, economical and comfortable! Not saying it’s a better truck than the other brands, but dang so far it’s been one terrific truck. The 5.0, 5.3 and 5.7 V8’s sound better, but at the light the 2.7 will leave them sitting!
Poppy Neese I personally think the STX with the 2.7 is the best bang for your buck in the F-150 lineup. It’s not the most well equipped but it’s still decent and the STX appearance package is really sharp looking. Plus you can get it for less than $40k.
KentB27 got mine for about 32, it was 10 off, drive to Charlottesville Va to get it, pretty sure the big money folks down there wouldn’t even consider a lowly xl truck.
Poppy Neese Probably not but the STX has a lot that differentiates it from a regular XL. It’s also a lot nicer than a Silverado Custom which is the GM equivalent of and STX.
Poppy Neese But it'll never outlast the engines in the 92-96 Ford Trucks.
CJ Colvin hope your wrong, need it to last 15 years, I’ll be 70 then and them self driving trucks will be out by then, keep taking me back to the old folks home!
liked the review...some say get the v8. Don't need it...the 2.7 Ecoboost makes the same torque and burns less fuel. I will miss the sound of that coyote V8 though
Good luck getting the ecojunk to last
Andy's Shop says the poor loser driving a 90s shit box chev 😂
Its amazing! Strong block
I have a 05 lariat and love it. Not fan of the 09-13 version but really love this! Just have to find a trade in or lease return or something as $60k is a lot for me
Excellent review, very informative, thank you
Yes it has an aluminum body but i'm pretty sure they still have a full steel frame
No, frame is aluminum
Andy's Shop it’s a steel frame dumbass. And also Chevy is garbage. Bail out welfare trucks.
All time dream truck. Maasha Allah will own and drive FORD 150 Ecoboost 2.7lt
Glad to see that you feel better ;-)
Actually no, this video was filmed before the Bell's Palsy. :(
Sorry about that .
patience Sofyan !
The reason why the 3.5 Ecoboost has had an unreliable reputation is because the original design was based on a modified 3.5 Duratec block that was then twin-turbocharged.
The 2.7 TT is a much-improved engine because it was designed from the ground-up to be twin-turbocharged (hence the graphite block construction)
Now that’s a truck
I just got this exact truck but with the 3.5. I love it.
I have a 2018 2.7 with 4wd...I’m getting 20.1 in mixed drivingwith bigger tires (285/55r20) and heavier wheels (20x10) and front end is leveled
Great review!! Love the truck 2 more months
The zero to 60 times are from 5.7-6.1 seconds for a 4x4 2.7 and 3.5. 1/4 mile low to mid 14s. Trust me I own a 2015 WRX and my brothers 150 2.7 gives me a good race.
I just subscribed. I like your reviews. They are complete. And your presentation is very good. No drama. I like that.
That steering radius...very odd. Getting use to mine. At a dead stop, it wont turn full tilt. If u are moving, or on ice/dirt it will. If u notice while he was complaining about it, it turned a very sharp U-Turn and caught him off guard. Assuming its a safeguard that wont kick the steering pump on and drop the rpms lower than idle, like Toyota had recalls for. Iv felt it kick back even. But over all, incredible truck. I absolutely love mine.
