- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2020
- From one Lightning owner to someone buying a modern rival to that SVT Legend, let me tell you this truck is sweet. With minimal mods; including conservative 5 Star Tuning via HP Tuners, an intercooler, upgraded turbos, and an S&B Intake, this truck is delivering impressive performance.

I love the Simplicity of an XL single cab. Call me old-fashioned but just something about buying a stock truck with rubber floors and adding your own custom upgrades to higher trim models. The only thing I would change would be 4x4 or a rear differential lock and 6 speed manual
at around 09:54 in the video, it looks like the rear diff lock icon is shown where the 4x4 selection would normally be, with what appears to be "off" and "on" you could turn the knob to. So maybe the only thing missing is the manual?
EDIT: Confirmed. 3.55 with Electronic locking rear axle - timestamped at 01:20
You can't get the 6-speed auto trans with the 2.7L or 3.5L EcoBoost (or 5.0L V-8). They all are only available with the 10-speed auto. The base naturally aspirated V-6 is still available with a 6-speed auto

I love 5 star tuning. I have been running their tunes for 5 years now and have had zero issues!
My stock 2018 F-150 FX4 Regular Cab SWB 2.7L 10-Speed 3.55:1
24,500 miles and I’ve only installed a new battery, no leaks, no problems at all.
0-60 = 5.9 Seconds ¼ mile = 14.4 Seconds 93 Octane 25.4 mpg is the best average mileage I've got.
G-Tech Pro SS Performance meter
Stock besides magnaflow exhaust 18 f150 5.0 fx4 3.55 gears 0-60 5.30 1/4 mile 13.55 93 gas no e85 in my state 1500 rpm launch I probably could have gotten at 13.50 if launched at a higher rpm you got me on gas mileage tho best I've got on back roads cruising around at 55 to 60 mph is 23 mpg on interstate driving I get about 20-21 at 70 mph
I would absolutely buy this truck. XL regular cab short wheelbase with the 2.7 turbo instead of the 3.3 is a perfect combination.
35k msrp then how much they tack on for the 5 star package ?
2.7 is such a well built engine! Wish they put it in the ranger.
Bronco is getting it... and the next Gen ranger too
I stand with your statement. Putting the 2.3 in the ranger was such a let down
@@robertramirez7828 I was pleasantly surprised out of the 2.3 in the 19 ranger while I had it
@@robertramirez7828 she actually is tough, and I don’t see them being repaired constantly like the rest of the boosted ford family
Just bought black 2020 super cab 2.7 from capitol this week. Absolutely love the technology in these new vehicles. I might have to void my warranty 👀
Man I’d love to have that F-150😍
Damn, if I saw this truck at the dealer I’d totally buy it!
Nice truck! I owned an '01 Lightning, no mods, it was quick but love my '15 2.7 Scab. More practical w/better mpg's & reasonably fast.
I suppose the newest Lightning is 'stupid' fast!
Since the updated version came out I think in 2018, I've been in love with the 2.7. It's very quick, built super strong enough to handle extreme tuning and it gets excellent fuel mileage. I don't know why everyone still gaga over the 5.0, the only thing it has going for it is the sound and that ain't everything. Since Ford added cylinder deactivation, the 5.0 has been a total lemon. The 2.7 is the only engine I'd get in the F150.
That truck is a beauty
This is a cool unit !
I live on a mountain. I have a 2014 Ford F150 Platinum 3.5 Ecoboost with only 32K miles on it. With a S&B cold air intake, 5 Star 87 Eco tune and a oil separator catch can. I baby it everywhere. And going to town and back I'm lucky at 13 MPG. On the interstate I get mid to upper 16's MPG at 65 to 68 MPH. It does have a Retrax aluminum bed cover. I've also ordered a 4 inch MBRP flow through exhaust. That will be here Saturday. If I don't start to get some fairly good gas mileage out of it. That will be that last of any upgrades. Because I also pull my aluminum 17ft bass boat in the warmer months. And it drops to even less gas mileage.
very nice truck! great budget truck
I know this an old video. With that said, my truck is a 2018 crewcab 4x4 with the 2.7L. My truck weighs much more than that regular cab and I can get 29.5 mph traveling between Jacksonville NC and Havelock NC, So 30 MPG with this truck is a walk in the park. After having mine for a year, I will never go back to a NA V8 truck. Trucks and turbos go together like peanut butter and jelly.
I get like 14mpg combined

love that color
beautiful color
I like the truck. I would buy one.
great sport truck
Did they only lower the rear with the shackles? Nothing different with the front?
Is there an exhaust system on this truck or is that just the intake?
What make, model and size are the rims? Thank you
Shit I was gonna wait til the 2022 came out to get one after they figure out that they should paint the rear ends again. But kinda wanting a 2020 now cause that thing looks aggressive
Do you know what size wheels and tires this has?
It's damned near old school looking.
Can it run E85 blend ?
If not then not worth it.
E50 tuned 2.7 on stock turbos would smack this thing around
Will it pass smog in California?
Badass Muscle Truck
Can you tell me what the name of that color is? It’s super cool perfect for this truck
Call me old fashioned, but I can remember when a headlight was just a headlight!
Modern halogen headlights have terrible forward visibility. That’s why so many people choose to upgrade to LED headlights. It’s the difference between trying to light your way with a candle, or light your way with a flashlight. Candles will do the job, but they aren’t exactly the best.
I would get the extended cab but dope truck. I want to tune my Bronco when I get it.
I'd only get a SCAB if they still offered them with the 5.5 foot bed.
You remind me of Justin Keith haha “very nice”
wheel and tire size?
How much all in all for everything?
Stage 3 turbos for only 450 hp ?
Very nice color... What color is this?
Beautiful unicorn 🦄
Maaaaannn I can’t wait to have this in the new Bronco
Have it in my new f150 you’ll love it
Duuuuuude same 😍 getting a 2 door 2.7 Blackdiamond
Exactly why I'm here watching this. Lol 2.7 base model 2 door
Haha same here !!
@@dwightk.schruteiii8454 me too
just financed a 2012 f150 stx single cab, wouldve gotten a newer gen, but im 19 so ik the insurance would be high asf, ima be paying $170 a month for liability.
Where can I buy 1
The 2021 3.5 eco boost stock is 400 hp , 500 ft lbs torque . Full warranty
Can't be had in this configuration.
You can’t get the 3.5 in a single cab with the 6 1/2 ft bed, you can if you get the 8 foot bed but who wants an 8 foot bed if you don’t need it.
Explain the full warranty to all the 5.0 owners who are a quart low on oil.
@@ClawDogVending there’s very few and ford takes care of them
Nice!

Peopñe are getting over 20mpg in this truck? !!! Im lucky to get 14 whats the deal?
I thought you couldn't purchase a combination . . Single cab and short-bed(5 1/2' box) with any car brand . . ??🤔 It always seems like if you want a single cab(w/any brand) it will always give you one option of a long bed(6 1/2' or larger box) . . So, I wonder how did that truck happen . . ??🤔
I have the same truck same modification. My is black
The Blue Shark
Does the tune and new turbos void the factory warranty?
Consult the Magnuson-Moss Act.
Is that a factory paint code ? Love that blue , I had a 99 civic si that was electron blue pearl & I loved that color
I was wondering the same but I cant seem to find that color.
@@scottadkins918 please lmk if you do find it
@@296skipweld gotta be a vinyl wrap or custom paint... I dont see no factory color like that.
Looks like velocity blue
Numbers on dyno chart don't add up. Ford website says this engine makes 325hp and 400hp, guessing that's at flywheel. This chart says 321hp and 287trq at the WHEEL? The HP reading is almost the same.
Ford is known to under rate their engines, and the TQ number you're quoting isn't the peak number.
Lol yoy forget the magic of the 10r80 and ford always underrated their engines. In theory you have less drive train loss through the 10r80 than you do a manual
Ford says 325 go 400 torque
Nice truck, but no way is that thing getting 30mpg. My stock 2.7 2wd is only averaging about 23 with quite a bit of highway driving.
I definitely agree with ya on that.
My stock 3.5 EcoBoost can get 24, but I get bored.😎
Stuck going 55 mpg for 20 miles and I was getting 27.
That said... 19 to 24 driving my way.
Mine does
Shit i wish I only get about 19 that’s combined city and highway and I drive like a grandpa
what body does your truck have and trim level? rcsb xl will get better mileage than any other version.
You say a CNR stage 3 turbo upgrade? I have intake, exhaust, tune, and soon the intercooler on 2018 2.7 EcoBoost supercrew and its peppy. No it won’t outrun any supercharged V8’s but for the price it can beat a few NA’s
The company name is C&R Performance. I have their downpipes with a SPD turbo adapters and stage 2 turbo wheel upgrades- among other upgrades on my 3.5L EcoBoost and it absolutely flies!
@@jedpony you did the billet wheels on stock turbos ? Did it give you any problems
35k to 60k?
Ok that’s odd that it’s a regular cab on the outside and in the interior shots it looks like there’s a tiny seat in the back. Did they extend the cab a few inches from 19-20?
No all brands that still make a single cab give you a little room behind the seat. It’s been like this for years
who makes those headlights
Those are Morimoto XB LED Headlights
I love 5 star and have this motor in my f150 but NEVA will you see 30mpg, maybe 🤔 down a mineshaft with a tailwind. Stock don’t see more that 21 ever and this is tuned.
All stock all original two-wheel drive 2.7 I get 30 MPG regular cab long bed 323 gears
Ford 150s #1 💪💪🇺🇲🇲🇽
Hope all the dodge boys could watch this. They just don't get it.
Wait for it!!! Wait for it!!! FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily!!! Parts will be the money maker soon!!! Don't forget the duck-tape!!!😄🍼🍼
I had a 2014 ram 1500, I now drive a 2019 F-150 5.0 and also had a 2018 2.7 ecoboost before that.
@@serenityinsilence you happy with it? I like mine alot I want the powerboost or the new lightning
is the 2.7 or the 3.5 better?
2.7
So a 75 HP gain and like 2 ft lbs? Cant a 5 star tune alone give you 50 HP? Seems like a lot of extra money and parts for that extra 25 horses.
Oh yes five Star can you get much more power and torque like he said in the video it is a conservative tune
I love videos that remind me how good of deal I got.
My 4x4 3.5 EcoBoost was only 3k more, and its got 13k in options!
Mmkay 🤣🤣
It’s peppy I bet it’s purdy too
Be an essential worker. Get a CDL and join the Teamsters.
They don't 30 mpg stock. Making 450hp? It might get 21 mpg.
7:30 peppy is the reason it want get 30 mpg.
Mine does! 13000 plus km to a tank on average and 9.3L/100 km at best over thousands of kms and multuple tanks! Blew my own mind. That is driving as good as possible too every second to attain 9.3 but its a full size crew cab 4x4 on 33" all terrain 10 plys so not too bad
Mine does
Mine too.
You're using the dash lie o meter ... 9.3 is 30 mpg but take 2 mpg off... still 28 mpg isn't bad!!! My 2016 sonato was getting 54 mpg.. im looking forward to my 22 fx4 3.5 tt
ALREADY MAKES 400 LB FEET OF TORQUE STOCK
FROM STOCK 365 HO UP TO 452 IS AN INC OF 87 HP
No cares about crank horsepower ratings, especially when compared to RWHP.
Leather interior or vinyl . But not the clothes interior
Those are major mods and are pricey. And no, your not getting 30mpg with a 2.7. Lol. I have owned my 2015 2.7 twin turbo for nearly 3 years and averaging around 19 around town and 23 on the highway at best.
And turning the video off at “2.7L EcoBoost”!
Today's trucks look so jank without a crew cab, such a shame they don't look as good as old single cab
37,000 ????? Want to buy
I think that is before mods
mpg is more like 20
Ford actually makes 2.7 regular cab & short bed???
Yep
I tried to get the short bed with the 3.5 eco boost, Ford will let you have the 2.7 or 5.0 na
But not the 3.5
@@michaeldrevyankosr6180 you can only get the 3.5 in a single cab if you get the 8 foot bed
Bronco....yeehaw 🤤
Offset is so wrong on these wheels
It is a real shame the top of the engine is an absolute disaster. I the old days I would have done anything to clean it up and tidy things up. Apparently it’s impossible with the modern day electronics. I’m shocked no one has made an effort to do for any vehicle.
Shit I dont like Ford trucks but this one is nice!!!
what about the 3.7
3.7?
There is no such thing as a 3.7
30 MPG? I cant wait for this to be dropped into the ranger, I wonder if its lighter than a crew cab 4wd ranger?
It is lighter than all but a base Ranger 2wd in this configuration (F-150s are super light). 30mpg is pie in the sky unfortunately. High 20s, no problem though. This is the strongest stock block gas motor they have other than the 7.3L. 4 bolt mains with a CGI block and forged pistons, con rods crank and cams. Those numbers he showed looked like corrected numbers and not true at the wheel. That being said, it doesn't have a transfer case, and it has a short little drive shaft, so who knows.
@@stevenp3176 Interesting, I wonder how if the next gen will be lighter
@@HotHeadCJ Actually, most F-150's are significantly heavier than Rangers, But Rangers only have one wheelbase, which limits the range of curb weights. The F-150 in the video is the shortest wheelbase available (122") in base trim with manual seats, and is shorter than a Ranger. A 2wd Supercab Base Ranger will be lighter, but not much else. This truck likely has about a 4200- 4300lb curb weight. A 145" Wheelbase base F-150 w/4wheel drive is just under 5,000lbs, to just over with the bigger cab. It's not that the Ranger is heavy, the F-150 just has a myriad of options, and is extremely light for it's class. The 2004-2014 F-150s were pigs though.
@@BeanoNoir In today’s standards the ranger is in fact heavy for what it is, all of them are, the Tacoma, ranger, the gm twins and the ridgeline
@@BeanoNoir the 2.3 is also super solid if you swap out the block for the 2.0.
You Tac,ed the engine out with break in oil still in it? I wouldn't buy it knowing that.
Right, because no one drives vehicles before they make it to the dealer lot. Do yourself a favor and never watch the factory workers but a car/truck that just rolled off the line through an NVH test.
@@SVTPerformance You're right about that. I want to add to that: every new vehicle I've owned has left the dealer spinning the tires. They've never burned oil and always had great compression.
Easy 500 with E50
Electronic locker is not basic
nah, a lightning would chew this thing up
It said “Modern like lighting performance” clown
lol no it wouldn't. The new lightning is estimated 4.5 0-60. This thing isn't even pushing the limits. These ecoboost engines haul ass. My 2.3 on my channel with fbo, plugs, e30 and a tune is faster than a gt.
I thought it was gonna be a v8 with a 2.7 supercharger lol
lol hell yeah.
The MAIN thing that makes a lightning a lightning is whats missing from this truck. Remember, your shooting for lightning, not Syclone. I wish Ford would take a look back at a recent movie that included them, maybe they'd realize yet again that compromise isn't always the best thing.. nor is forgetting what a name means. I wish I could say I'd be interested in buying my fourth ford, but not only are almost ALL of your vehicles priced out of reach for the average consumer without going cheque to cheque, but i have yet to find something interesting and fun that you still make.. well, the Bronco was until I realized it starts at $40,000+ CAD lol get out, I bought a 2018 "lightning" with a REAL V8 for two grand less and now I have to pay extra for a "glorified" wrangler lol.
Are you aware that this truck he's showing stock is as fast as a 2004 lightning, as in without any of the upgrades? I'm all for V8s, but if you actually drive them, this 2.7L kicks pretty much everything but the 3.5 High outputs booty. The 5.0 isn't even close. (That, and the Gen 2 Coyotes aren't built anywhere near as heavily as this engine. They are peaky downgraded track motors for a Mustang that they just wanted to make less expensive through volume production. Not the best, not the worst truck motors) The THING that made the lightning the lightning was that it was light, with a powerful engine. At the time, the best way to do that was with a modified Modular V8. Nowadays, you can get a cheap work truck that's just as quick as it was.
@@BeanoNoir the 2.7 doesn't have the legs, nor the room for power like the 5.0 does, and the 2018+ f150's come with the Gen 3 coyote, same as the mustang just different intake cam, LOTS of potential. No, one of the main things that ruin this truck is the steering ratio and lack of an awd transfer case , but adding a 2.7 doesn't help lol. Why not get an Explorer ST? You'd get FAR more for the money and the same tow rating, and if you really need a bed then get a real truck.
@@Drake5153 A real truck? Have you driven an F150 with the 2.7? It has more torque in the RPM range that a "real truck" uses than a 5.0. BuT mUh v8!
@@BeanoNoir Actually this little blue truck is faster than an actual lightning. It weighs less and makes 452 hp compared to the lightnings 380.

@@cljerjr31 its at Capital Ford of RockyMount in NC. They also had 2 rcsb supercharged coyote f150s there.

No way in heck a full-sized truck actually gets 30MPG without some serious eco mods and/or a hybrid system. I'd believe 26, tops. Especially since it makes MORE power, now.

I do mostly city driving and get between 17.5 and 19.5 MPG, but hearing about all this is really bothering me, because I BOUGHT this thing due to its good gas mileage...
@@Drunken_Hamster That isn't bad mileage for 2009 technology. Remember your ranger doesn't have a 10 speed transmission in with 3 overdrive gears. At 65 I'm barely turning 1500 RPMS. Don't forget these new 10 speeds are multimode transmissions.(Normal, sport, eco, snow/sand, rock-crawl. mud ruts, wet.) These modes actually work, they aren't BS marketing fluff. If my truck is at 2750 RPMs in 10th gear you would be reading about me on the evening news.
