You’re welcome. 😁
Super_B thanks
XTR
You’re a champ
I wish you could say the trim name instead of this, this,...
thanks for the video. didn't know the difference between STX and XLT. Now I know. hahaha
Never apologize for a lengthy video with actual good info great job dude
🙏
Ahh the good ole days when dealerships actually had inventory
Thankfully they do again now. Tons of trucks on the lot in late 2023.
I’m a salesman and I still have trouble learning all the different configurations of F-150, this helps a lot. Thanks!
Haha! I always can tell when a salesman doesn’t know what he’s talking about 😂
I always get the lariat trim when I buy a Ford, all the necessities and much more for a decent price
xlt 302a with the sports appearance pack is really all you need
All facts! 👍🏼
Exactly what I bought
Nope, raptor
I know all the options but i was bored lol
Got one 2 week's ago and love it
I have a 2018 King Ranch F150 and I love it. Best vehicle I have ever had.
same here with Lariat
Same here. Mines a 19 but the same truck obviously. Love it.
Stx is the best overall package if you ask me. Basic enough to not be overwhelmed when you get in but has everything you would need on a daily driver
I have a 2020 xl stx in iconic silver it is the best bang for the buck. With the sync 3 and FordPass app it has the capability of remote start through the app with auto climate when started. I’m happy with my truck.
Great video. I love my 18 F-150 King Ranch. Its 3 months old, and I’m still finding new things on it. My favorite feature hands down is the messaging seats!
Thanks 🙏
I have a 2018 F250 Platinum. Best truck I’ve ever had.
This cleared up a lot.....now I’m not confused as hell about these different trim levels.....
I’m just confused now
Im not really a "truck guy" but lately Ive been looking. I found this video really helpful. Thank you for taking the time and sharing the valuable information. Cheers!
Same. I've had my eye on the Raptor but I don't know the first thing about trucks.
hellodzheng00 everyone wants a raptor lol 😂
hellodzheng00 it’s the Lamborghini of trucks
3.5 EcoBoost Motor has problems keep that in mind... I have a 2018 V8 and it has never given any problems granted only 23k on it now. Research big time... 2019 f150 V8 Sucks with cylinder deactivation, will cause other problems worst I got in 2018 is the auto start/stop feature. EcoBoost 2.7 is supposed to be solid just not the 3.5
Should have gone over the base XL vs the STX package. Still is expensive as hell when you can order the base model from the factory for $28k
I was going to say the same thing. I own an XL that is *almost* exactly like the one they went over. With 9k dollars worth of additional options, it's not really a base at all. In fact, I would say it's even above a base XLT, same as the XL they showed. But they compared it to an XLT that had tons of additional options as well (like Katzkins leather) which makes the XLT *seem* a lot higher that it would be as a base XLT. Not the most insightful when doing a raw trim level comparison but I get it, it's not a ford factory so they have to use what they have.
Xlt with a lift, 33 inch tires, rims with little shine, done😉
These trucks are getting way too expensive...
Yep they sure are.
*too
The Limited have always been more crazier to buy than the Platinum, king ranch and much more other trim levels.
TheBoosteddub that’s a military town so the prices are also jacked up cause they can move inventory easier
Actually pick up truck a have gotten way too, too expensive.
I absolutely love my 2018 xlt/xtr with the fully loaded package including that bad ass panoramic sunroof
Take it from old fred don't put anybody's ass out that sunroof....specially them real big gals old fred packs in the trailer with a wide load sign on the rear.
We just bought a 2017 f150 XLT Supercab Sport with 9000 miles! Like brand new! (the current date is 08/08/21) We love it so far, really nice. I'm from Flint so Chevy has always been my brand, Ford has always been "acceptable" but Chevy was king. I did own a '94 Ranger back in the day and liked it. My wife really liked this Ford, me too, so I bought it. Hard to pass up on a truck with such low miles being 4 years old.
Great video....I studied the crap out of the trim levels before I ordered mine. The guy got it mostly right, with the exception that some trim levels are not available in regular cabs. They are so rare today though it's hardly an error to be fair.
Since you don’t include a Raptor in the actual video, don’t list it in the description!
I just ordered the Lariat with the sun roof and other options. Very excited to get it!
flatline7310 how are you liking the Larait and the 4A mode? I’m thinking about getting one instead of an XLT
I'd rather have the extra center console storage space than a shifter. I prefer that column shifter
I'm with you. A console shifter/floor shifter does not belong in a truck, exception being manual shift. For the rest of them, give me a column shifter any day.
If you could get a manual on the column, I'd prefer that. A six on the tree...lol Throw in the blue or red interiors too, I'd be in love.
Just bought a 2016 platinum and I gotta say, these trucks have just as much luxury if not more than german cars. I went from a 2015 BMW X5 to this and I gotta say I'm a happy camper. I would never buy one new off the lot since I don't want to experience the first depreciation toll, but buying one that's CPO with bumper to bumper warranty and is a deal you can't beat!
yes please after you'll done with the video make sure the salesman get someone from the detail crew to vacumn those backseat floors. wow with a sticker price that impresive i expect a my first tour to be the same. greetings for Baja
Did I miss where he mentioned the heavy duty payload package. That is what makes the truck a truck! More payload than the 250 diesel...
If I see 100 pickup trucks, MAYBE 2-3 are pulling a trailer. I got mine because it was the only way I could get a new, large, V8 vehicle with 4wd for under 65,000 well equipped. Like it or not, the vast, vast majority do not use them to pull a boat to the lake or load 800 lbs of payload in the back.
@@Michael-ii9fs New York, California, Maryland. Florida, Georgia, Arkansas and Texas (move a lot for work) I stick by my statement of the vast majority of trucks on the road are not carrying or pulling a load. I get it... gravel and cement is heavy I just don't see anyone using their trucks for that. Most truck owners have it because they want a big 4wd vehicle and IF they need to id can carry/pull some things. For me, like I aid, I wanted a large v8 with 4wd. I had the engine superchaged so I can do 0-60 in 4 seconds. When I move, I can just pack the things I need and go, so the covered bed is useful but I dont need 800 lbs.
Where's the XL with vinyl seats, vinyl floor front bench?
55k + for a pickup! Holy crap.
justin f for a pickup that wont return that money.
I got my 2019 stx for 48k I agree that theyre expensive.
Juan carlos Vacio why so much? I got a 2019 stx sport package for 39k out the door
That guy (Shawn Allen) knew what he was talking about. I’m up in Wisconsin but if I were shopping for a truck (just bought one) I would have gone to see him. He knew his stuff
Absolutely. He is a great guy
Sold my 2012 F150 XLT last week and just bought a 2018 F150 STX and love the truck with all the upgrades.
The salesman definitely knows the phrase, "Always be closing". I feel like I'm being sold a truck.
Holy guacamole. I remember you could get 4x4 f250 diesel for like 35k back in 2003. The F-150 looks like a really nice truck but can get super pricey at 65k for some of them. While I do like them I just can’t justify spending that much for a truck . Now a raptor maybe but still. 60 to 70 k for anything is a lot.
I do own a 18 Mustang GT but I opted for a lower priced one. I wanted a performance pack but they were to much also imo. My cars msrp was a tad over 36k but I ended up getting it for 29,871 plus tax. Payment in low 500 range no money down. I couldn’t imagine what the payment would of been on a 60k vehicle no money down. Prob over 1k a month. While I could afford it I would rather have two nice vehicles so we also have a nice lifted 4 door wrangler at 400 a month.
Great video
cobradwight1 I remember when you could buy a full sized 1990 pickup for about $18k. It’s called inflation.
Back in the 60s they cost couple thousand
Nice video,only thing you missed is the Raptor, and the 2019 F150 limited now has the Raptors 450hp 510 ft lb torque 3.5 ecoboost standard....
still would not buy it with a bumble bee engine!!!the gas V8 yes!!
For a young adult like myself, STX was the way to go. Most bang for my buck. I would love to have a higher trim someday but really the STX has everything I needed. Sync 3 comes in handy with Apple car play, I have my 4-wheel drive (very needed where I live) and all the space in the world for hauling stuff. And you can’t go wrong with that more aggressive sport appearance ;)
What engine?
I would’ve gotten an STX too, but I wanted heated seats and remote start, so I ended up with an XLT sport package. The STX is super super nice though
I had and 2018 XL STX. Sold it for a 2014 King Ranch. Never doing anything less than that
Problem is when you want to order a different color and want the Hybrid engine and Transmission, it says you can't equip that color with that package and you are asked to change or remove it, same with rims, tires, gear ratio, What does the paint color have to do with the powerplant and transmission weather 2wd or 4wd Ford won't let you order the color you want If you like the Blue color the XL has but want your Platinum to be that color, forget it they keep saying we don't offer that color option, easy, just paint it at the factory like normal and put everything Platinum in it it's still a Platinum or Limited, Ford used to do this back in the 70's and 80's now its take what we offer or buy a Chevy or Dodge, or Nissan, not to mention an 80,000.00 + price tag that's why they are having a hard time selling them 2021-2024 are sitting in the lots rusting, why buy expensive new when you can buy used for less than half the original price or lower.
I like the stx, really simple,column shifter,v8 na what more can you want from a truck
Completely agree. I have the STX but it has the 2.7. And I know, I know...V8's are supposed to be in trucks and all that stuff but i drove both, the n/a 5.0 and the EcoBoost and that EcoBoost will leave that 5.0 off the line like its tied down to the road. Now the 5.0 may be better on the top end but I'd much rather have a better 0 to 60 time than have the ability to go 120mph. The faster acceleration is absolutely more practical during city driving and passing ability.
@@BCORBAN7884 the v8 is a simple design,no can't go wrong with that,no added features so
@@MrPami9899 I hear you but I and my wife use these trucks as our weekend luxury ride. We use to have a Mercedes S-Class until it got up in miles and the ABC system malfunctioned. After discovering how nice the upper trim trucks are we never looked at another sedan. We like the ride height, more space and capabilities over the luxury sedans on top of the fact that they are just as luxurious.
Ecoboost gets alot.of hate but we know how good they are, that's all that matters
Great video!!! I love my f150!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Very great people to work with at that dealership my dad bought a 2014 Ford edge from them here recently actually
I've had a 4 door pickup 4×4 for years. Best 2nd vehicle you can have. Here in Tn you don't really need a 4 wheel drive but it's a truck why not. Great video.
miles Hiles all depends on what you do also. Living and farming everyday I need a 4wd and sometimes like this winter with all the rain we’ve got it’s still not enough
John Wayne hahahah 4x4 in the rain?
Grant Cuneo it’s a river bottom. 4wd tractor won’t make it lol
@@Horace69 4×4 have more ground clearance we water everywhere here in Tn.
I grew up in texas and I've lived in wisconsin for nearly ten years. I cant justify a 4wd here in the winter. sold my Tahoe z71 after two years of living here and drive 2wd's ever since and never got stuck, slid out, or whatever. IMO, 4wd is for off road.
I have a 17 f-150 XLT sport edition with the second gen 3.5L ecoboost with the 10 speed with comes with the 302A package plus it has the under chassis protection that you get with the FX4. It came with Four Wind Spray-in bed liner, lockable anchor mounts, LED bed lighting, and lockable tail gate. Plus this video wasn't long enough because you skipped a few things starting at the Lariat.
Lariat trim is the best value
I agree it’s probably a go too for many cause it’s luxurious if you want it to be and it’s not if you don’t want it to be and you can get any engine except for the high output 3.5 and it’s the first truck you can get the diesel in which is probably it’s biggest selling point
F150s are the best looking midsize truck
Solid video, a lot of detail. Well done.
Looking forward to your new Ford Ranger review.
Dont worry about the video being lengthy bro this is a good informational video, which is what i was looking for so i can know which f150 to buy
🙏🙏
Haha. I hate chrome too brother! One of the reasons I’m not a fan of the GMC trucks. Those grills!! 😳 I personally have a 2018 F-150 Platinum. Love it!!
I don’t like most chrome but on the king ranch it looks great for some reason
That Katzkin install is second to none. Looks factory
I had a Chevrolet silverado, but i didn't like that the cabin space is so small, but men when i saw the Ford F150 cabin it's huge 😮. It's so perfect to take the ladys or the boys in the back for a Quickie haha. There was a pregnant lady saying this is perfect for her because her stomach grew so much she needs alot of space
2019 F350 Limited 6.7 with 28k, awsome truck so far. The limted leather dash is bubbling on the driver dash and the steering wheel is squeaky when cool outside, the squeek is inside cab at the column. Other wise solid truck
platinums have standard power deployable running boards, also the camera is for auto high beam assist and lane keep assist, there are radar sensors in the front bumper for automatic emergency braking including pedestrians but also for adaptive cruise stop n go where the vehicle stops at 0 if the vehicle in front stops.
This was GREAT ... I always wanted to know all the different Trim Levels ..
Awesome info. Those Interiors toward the end were super awesome. I may need to clean my ears but massaging seats??
I've actually sat in the massaging seats. I was surprised that they weren't just vibration, but actual rolling, kneading massage.
I have a 2018 xlt in the navy blue color (idk what they call the color) and its the best thing ive ever owned. Only complaint is i didnt know the coyote existed. But at least i have the 3.5l ecoboost. Personally i think the xlt is the ultimate trim. Its not too crazy. Has some minor luxorious aspects to it, but its not got all the ridiculous things that ruin modern trucks. I have a bench, so i have a column shifter. No nav or anything just bluetooth but thats ok with me. Love the chrome on the xlt, its not too much and its more like accenting. I especially love it in the interior.
Someone has the F150 fever. 😀
truck goes back tomorrow 😁
@@Zander13Productions good... Drive your Mustang straight to the dragstrip 👍
Very informative video. My issue is how ridiculously expensive these trucks have become. They cost as much as a luxury car these days. Some even more. Good to see someone that’s very knowledgeable about the products he sells. Not a lot of people do.
In all fairness the market for cars is up 50% rn 🙄
Thanks very well done and very informative!
Thanks
These guys seem really excited about being able to hide things. 😂😂🤫
Guns.
fakecubed yep I was thinking that the whole time lol 😆
All the trims are great trucks with some better features than others but in my opinion, the STX is by far the best bang for buck. The STX give you the center console and the 8 in touch screen although it doesnt come with navigation you can still use you Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to display your navigation on the screen while even using the best nav system available...WAZE! You can get any powertrain in the STX you want along with 4x4. And any must have add ons. So anyone in the market for a F-150, just those STX's first. But if money isnt a thing for you then RAPTOR all way!!
BCORBAN7884 you speak the truth man. Got my Raptor on the 1st and I literally can’t think of a thing to add to it. My father in-law only drives Lariat F-250’s, and even he said when he got in that the Raptor interior is better lol.
@@ryanjohnson1265 Yea the Raptor is my favorite truck hands down. They have the haters but they have haters in everything. However, the people that can actually put their bias aside, then the Raptor is the best daily to offroad combination there is. The ride is amazing for daily commute along with the interior but it is ready for offroad whenever you are.
Best comment I’ve read so far. Bought a 19 STX with the 2.7L Ecoboost. It’s got everything i wanted in a Truck. Didn’t make sense to move up to the XLT, for an additional 6K, just for a remote start. I’ve never loved any of my previous vehicles this much!
@@jjdreggie7219 Also with stx I discovered with my 2020 that if you download the fordpass app you get a complimentary remote start within the app. It blew my mind because it was not advertised in the window sticker. Best bang for the buck. You might want to see if it works for you.
This is a big help when I want to look for a truck.
glad I could help
Definitely did. Thanks
Here is a better help--buy Toyota
Really love my Sport XLT 4x4 2.7 twin Turbo
That STX grill should be the STANDARD grill on all the F150's. The reg grills are too cream puff looking
I guess I'm old-fashioned, I like the chrome. But the STX grill is cleaner, I'll admit that.
chad six it’s the sport grill. Not the STX grill. STX is a poor mans truck
I like the chrome grill though
@@Mrheatpump I don't know about that man. $45,000 for any vehicle doesn't scream poor to me.
@@austinbronson47 they aren't 45k at most dealers. I drove a stx with the 3.5l with a max trailer tow package and it was pretty much a fully loaded stx and it was 39k
Thanks! Simple but much needed video!
My Lariat is the perfect level of trim for me.
Thank you guys I really appreciate the information
I feel bad for anyone with a panoramic moon roof. I have replaced so many moon roof frames, and the moon roof sliding rails for these trucks
I refuse to purchase any vehicle with any moon roof. Just asking for leaks! All you ever do is cover it up to avoid the sun beating down on you anyway. Pointless added expense.
Why didn’t you show the raptor? That’s the bad ass truck of the bunch!
Great video wish I seen this before I got mine and I knew allot before. Recommend this to everyone
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Damn, 46 sticker for an STX? I saw a platinum at my local ford dealer stickered at 55. Might have been “bare bones” option wise, at least as bare as you can get with a platinum, but they are much closer in price than I would’ve guessed. I went used, with a 2018 lariat, and it wasn’t very loaded. No diff locker, basic 4x4, no FX4 package, no LED’s, and no navigation. Got it for 35 with 7,000 down. Financed 28. Very happy with that. Used is the way to go on these newer trucks, they’re just too damn expensive new. Also, this salesmen is very knowledgeable. Great at his job. I work at a dealership, and I can tell you, too many salesmen don’t know Jack shit about the vehicles their selling.
Very useful information for me , thank you!
F150 models/Trims are so confusing. Thank you for the video showing and explaining. One problem in your video. It is so easy to lose where you are. If you could keep reminding the viewers which trim you are taking about.
The box links do not work in a truck bed that has a liner. But, you can get a machine shop to fix them or do it yourself if you have the equipment and skills.
Crazy, just bought one there last week from Greg.
Congrats
Has anyone had much luck with the Trailer Backup Assist? Even the dealership couldn’t get ours to work right and I’ve never talked to anybody who said it works well?!
Great video, very informative. Only thing missing is the Raptor
This video really helped me out in deciding my next truck purchase
Very good. I’m glad I could help
The Special Edition is my favorite and it’s rare not talked about a lot you don’t see them much
Best part about the 10 speed is the constant failures. Pretty much ruins these trucks for me, it's a shame because I love that 2nd gen 2.7
I just bought a 2017 low mileage XLT. saved $22000. Still trying to figure out all the buttons.
Nice man, how much total are you paying ?
@@juanchavez9380 $30,000
Check out the F150 Lightning tribute trucks that Pioneer Ford in Bremen, GA is doing. Not sure if they are still doing that since I haven't checked since February 2018, but they did have some on the lot then awaiting the Rouch Superchargers. I'll have to call them up, and see if they're still doing that.
very helpful, thank you.
Living in northern canada I prefer 4x4 on the floor at -40 it always works
Informative video. You can get these trucks for much less than these msrp’s
Sound quality could be improved
What at extremely knowledgeable and helpful guy, lovely trucks way way better than the crap we have in the UK.
This actually depends on what you want to do with the truck .
That is the most important.
It would have been of a great service while discussing Trim Levels to include Costing because as we all know $$$$$ is everything!
What about the Lone Star Texas Edition?
Just got a 2019 STX 4x4 V8, Best bargain of the whole line. Some of the options on the upper grades are totally useless, for example, power tilting steering wheel? Forward facing camera, what's the windshield for anyway? An electric release for the tailgate? The aluminum tailgate is so easy to open and close anyway and you're gonna sweat your ass off loading the thing anyway. Heated and cooled leather seats? I've never owned a Ford truck that couldn't run you out of the cab with it's AC or the heater, you could hang meat in the summer and cook it in the winter. I upgraded mine to the off road version by picking up a set of skid plates for $600 bucks and kept the comfortable ride by staying with the standard shocks. Spray in bed liners look nice but won't keep the bed from being dented, my half inch thick American made bed mat protects the bed and cost $100 bucks. Protecting the paint? Ya gotta grind it off to put on the Lion X liner anyway. So Yeah, I love the trucks that ford puts out, but the options are bordering on the ridiculous, as well as the prices.
No info on the Lariat 😬
Thats my truck and you completely ignored it and
Just made me waste 1/2 hour
Of my time 😟 bummer👎🏽
Higher the trim level the more luxurious it is... simple. Besides the raptor thats in its own category
Does this guy know he has sunglasses on his head? 😆
Higher the trim level the more expensive a car or truck is, least from what I've found online here in Lubbock.
Congratulations , well spotted!
"Fall asleep and crash" something i wouldve said too😂😂😂
Lariat with the 3.0 4x4
Straight to the good stuff
The guy knows his ford trucks very impressive.
hes a salesman idiot
@@chadhaire1711 That was unnecessary and very immature of you. No need to lunge at the dude like that for making a solid comment. ...Did he steal your girlfriend?? This trend of petty internet bullying HAS to stop. Pure foolishness.
@@hakeemsd70m well its like this Obama jr......sounds like someone needs to grow some balls....
Why is push-button start nice to have in any vehicle?
Because it just is bobandy
Thank you so much! I was possibly looking for a ford f150 for hunting and camping. I had thought maybe the xlt with a lift and more aggressive tires. I'm just not sure what to go with. Someone had mentioned the f150 with the FX5.
Does Ford still offer a moon roof for the extended cab?
One very important feature the F-150 Limited has is the Raptor motor. To me that’s sells the Limited.
I have an stx and it’s perfect for me, I just wish I had the power inverter
Each level has many options. From bumper to bumper.
Love the ford trucks my dad has one but it’s platinum trim
Trucks are getting really expensive but like he said it's that technology factory just know that you better have the money for it once it's breaks cuz it's going to cost an arm n a leg but great video👍
Like a Trophy wife, you need a lot of money to get her and the upkeep will be even more....lol
MoonGlow nah just entice her with Monopoly money 😂😂
Thank you for the very valuable and hard to find video. The only problem is that you move the camera WAY TOO FAST making me feel dizzy. All you need to do is S-L-O-W down to move the camera to get it perfect!!
