its always fun when its not your truck.
😅😅😅👍🏻
That's great for stock tires. I can only imagine what it can do with some good tread all terrains.
Not being a "Ford Guy," I was impressed hunting last month in Kansas riding in my buddies 2013 Ford F-150 FX4 (eco-boost). The Winter storm that hit December 6, 2013 was a great concern, but his FX4 handled highway snow, ice and mud at speed, and crawling with Perelli Scorpion tires??! The tires looked like something you might expect to see on a Camaro, or Charger, but they "worked!" Kudo's to the Ford Boys, they built one helluva truck...
It's a great truck, those tires are overpriced junk. I own same truck & tires.
@@m.m14433 if you still have it, nitto terragrapplers are awesome all weathers for this thing
Wow, real surprised how well it handled that mud on those tires. I just bought a 2012 F150 5.0 4x4 and love it. It's lifted on 35" Toyo Open Country's. Has 4x4 with the ELD. Can't waint to see how well it handles offroad.
People on here are asking if its a5 liter v8 or an EcoBoost v6 this is actually relatively easy to spot. Just look at the front bumper if it has a large air gap in the middle with the license plate holder to the driver side it's an EcoBoost. The air vapid there to force air into the intercooler. If the license plate holder is in the middle it is a V8 or naturally aspired V6.
That's a good tip on how to tell the difference but he did state it was an EcoBoost in the video. It was also in the specs shown towards the end.
Yeah. I understand that completely "Imightberiding". But even still you had people asking. Regardless if it was in the specs at the end of the show or not. So I just said it to add some clarification to the comment section. But thanks for the comment.
During that time I went full throttle to snap the back end around, and then it gripped in the mud and I could really feel the power. The sound was from the gear in the back seat moving around. The locking differential is controlled by a button inside the cab, and it doesn’t lock automatically. So it only engages when the driver pulls the switch. ^Brad
Best damn truck I've owned in 20+ years
51k is just the list price. No one should ever pay list price for any new vehicle. My 2013 Ford 150 FX4 has everything loaded on it and it listed a bit over 51k but I only paid 39k for it. 2013 Ford trucks usually have around 9k-10k in rebates if you qualify for all of them. Shop around people and dont pay list price!
Skott62 how'd u get the price down that much??
Rebates mostly. At that time Ford was giving out at least $10k in rebates. Plus good old haggling with the dealer.
That would be my glory I love Ford
I have a 2012 mustang 5.0, I never thought i'd own a Ford. I always gave Ford crap or made fun of them. Now I'm looking to get a truck for a daily driver while the mustang is in the garage and pretty sure it's going to be an fx4. I'm a ford convert.
Was said it was the best year of solid engines made.. I'm hunting for a good truck. Maybe 1 owner, no wrecks.. get to work in any Weather. Get to the mountains at anytime of the day, drive family in total comfort anywhere, haul and tow with confidence.. im going to get this model..
I have the 2005 fx4 there great!
metersocket00 **they're
I really like this video, because it shows how the truck handles in a real 4x4 application unlike most test videos were the driver takes it through grass and down a dirt road to test it. well done.
not to mention the ecoboost motor provides 5hp more than the 5.0L V8 as well.
Aaaaaaaaaand even the stock 3.7L V6 has more hp than the 2009 4.6L, 2V and 3V. Just thought I'd remind y'all.
Put some good all terrains on that truck and it will do even better than it did. I really like that electronic locking rear axle it is a good feature. My dad's Silverado has the post trac axle on the z71 package and it is very similar but under a lot of stress it will still let only one tire spin. I think the locker probably stops that from happening without breaking stuff to boot. Nice vid
No Silverado has ever had a posi-traction rear end
The g80 is technically a posi traction unit as it locks both tires in full 100% power when it detects 100 rpm of wheel differential speed.
That being said, IMO it is not a "real" posi traction device because the tires are not locked in 100% of the time EXCEPT when wheel differential speed is needed for turning.
So the g80 is kind of 50% posi 50% limited slip...because it doesn't really totally fit the definition of either as a true limited slip cannot have an even torque split to both tires, one will always have a bit more or less speed as they aren't locked in.
This hands down best review iv watched on a truck show us what it can do plz more all trucks
this thing does pretty awesome for bone stock, looks like a blast
The raptor still exceeds any F150 in mud. Larger tires, more ground clearance, more suspension travel. It comes wth BFG AT's as opposed to pirelli's. Only difference between an FX4 and other trucks is that it has bilstien shocks.
That's not the only difference. FX4 also has skid plates, hill descent (which may be a newer option since you posted your comment), and rear locking differential. Normal 4wd does not come with locking rear diff.
I can't believe that the electronics on this Truck are actually reliable. You'd think they would have brow right away.
Ford tends to do a good job on electronics unlike Mopar. My dad has a 21 year old Explorer XLT fully loaded and just about everything still works perfectly on it.
Bought mine new in 2013. Same truck but in a super crew. I still have it 59,000 trouble free miles.
Did he really just jump back in the seat like he was going to rock it out?
sounds about right with that configuration.
I go to the Mounds and know the terrain. Truck did pretty good for street tires but didn't hit the hard stuff at all. Then again a brand new $51k truck can't blame him even if it wasn't his. Would have liked to see it in the woods trails.
Damn that baby lifted ahhh damn it’s gonna be fun I plan on getting one except in black
street tires for Street use.
This is a beautiful truck, but It doesn't look like an ecoboost. There isn't any eco boost badging on the doors and it has a flex fuel badge on the tailgate that is only on the 5.0 V8. The front is also missing the license plate holder that is shifted to the left to open up space for the air entry for the intercooler. Just a thought unless for some reason it was removed
Love that you railed on that truck
They moved the Ecoboost logo to the bottom right of the tailgate
The Eco-Boost V-6 has comparable torque numbers at a much lower RPM, plus its a twin turbo... The best part is it gets 15 mpg city and 22 highway... This technology is easily worth the 51k price tag.
Ignacio, i was thinking the same thing that wheel at 1:25 WOA looked like it was going to snap off
That's just the rear axle flexing.
That looks fun!
This probably went back to a dealership and had one of those "Demo Save" stickers on it haha!
Woo hoooo just got one :)
Street tread tires , off-road... seems legit lol
Mudding is so much fun but a pain in the ass to clean up
where are the all terrain
Nice truck!! But i feel sorry for it!
There's not really much point to adding a more powerful engine to the F-150 lineup. The F-150's current max tow capacity is primarily limited by the strength of the transmission and rear axle, not a lack of power.
1:25 is that wheel ok?
That running board got fucked 😂
especially when its cold outside
you know its twin turbo right? 365hp and 420lbs tq. it is only 14lbs of torque less than the 6.2 V8
You seem to just like the term 'V8'. Ecoboost offers the power and torque of a V8 with the fuel economy of a 4 or 6 cylinder. Open your mind a little. I think it's brilliant.
I know he says this is an Ecoboost, but where are the Ecoboost decals on either door and isn't that a Flexfuel decal on the bottom right of the tailgate?
Not bad with stock tires
Some people actually live in places like that. Even more do it for fun....
What did you mean by the back end snap, power ? Was the sound just the locker kicking in ?
I love how they flog a fully loaded every option luxury truck through some of the worst mud a stock truck will face.
If you turn off traction control you should be good, I think. I can fishtail my '13 F150
i want this car
I wonder what would be a better truck the fx4 or the raptor
The raptor was built more for the desert and going through it at 100 mph speeds fx4 if u live in the south like me where there's more chance of flooding getting stuck in mud and stuff like that then the fx4 is your choice
Wouldnt do that with mine unless it had right equipment cv boots get busted and u get mud in places that u never thought would go I did all my fx4s this way its just expensive small repairs
Are you driving that truck with the the standard road tires and trying to off road with it? No wonder it get stuck
Why dont they boost the v8 like they did the v6 ?
what size is the bed on this particular truck ??
The eco boosts have more torque and power than the V8
am i wrong but thats the 5.0 coyote no ecoboost badge
Pretty sure that's a 5.0l, no Ecoboost badges on the doors and a flexfuel badge on its tailgate...
Damn lol that truck took a little abuse there in the beginning the step sides didn't help shit either, nice vid tho, for sure enjoyed it.
ive turned it off, but it still resists to fishtail
The bed is 6.5 feet long.
51,000....wtf? Damn.
yea everything is great and fun ,but what you don't know is the more you off road the F150 the more mud you put into the frame. yep that's right the boxed frame is great for the stiffness and flex ,but it holds mud inside. what's going to happen to the frame in 10 years .most likely it will rot out . bought my truck used and its packed full of mud
thats why car washes were invented
plowtruckdriver thats why you power wash inside the frame and fluid film it. ALL new trucks everyone on the market except for superduty have boxed frames f150s 04 up. gms snd dodges early 2000s up. Gm and dodge 3/4 tons and 1 tons are also fully boxed. super duty being the only c channel frame truck still available.
$51,000 Ha Fuck that
Buy a Raptor
Fuck fuel economy
With rebates this truck is in the 30k's while rapter is still 60's... =P
i have a question, does a truck like this have a "stability control" where if you start to fishtail, it will apply the ABS and straighten out the truck? I am a proud owner of a 2011 ram 1500, and any time the truck senses it is getting the least bit sideways at any speed in 4x4 or not, it applies really harsh brakes and slows the truck down till its straight.
anyhow, I am not a big fan of ford, but I got to hand it to them for this decently looking truck!
So at the total price, buy the raptor instead? lol
+Bobby0345 or like me a 2014 elocker front and rear, 6 inch lift 35s mud tires it will go where a stock raptor cannot, no dunes around her to jump so mud life it is, and still cost me just at 40 grand,
haha thank you made my day
it is not realy for off road I mean you can take it but if you want a real one get a raptor svt 2013 6.2l awesome
F150!!!
Yelp1000 - I doubt Mullaly hears a word you're saying dude
Awesome, but I'd cry Lol
какой расход на трассе?? Кто знает?
Love mine. I make videos with it on my channel.
That would be even more bad ass if it had a diesel engine in it
Dear Autoweek, After reviewing this video we will be suspending the delivery of our press cars to your offices for review and/or testing. Sincerely, Mr Mulally Ford Motor Company
the new v-6 smoked my old 4.6, technology is taking over soon v-8s wont be an option in most cars
اللهم ارزقني بوحدة مثها
51k Isn´t bad... Here in Sweden it´s a 100k truck
Want a Raptor? 106k..!!!
Road Tires?
Trucks are always tested in their stock form.
look at the tires thats why you got stuck!
and it will actully blow your engine out of the water in every possible way....except sound
Screw that. You could have way more fun in a 4,000 old truck lifted with 37's or something. I wouldn't be able to take my 51,000 $ out doing that. That's what my 3,000 $ quad is for.
they keep trying to make them look like semi's and they do a good job of it on the super duties but the F-150 trys and fails
Just took a $50K price tag and dropped it to $30K. Stupid. Plus, who would spend that kind of money on a 1/2 ton truck??
51k and not even a quad cab? WTF?
In ford trucks, the 2 1/2 door models and the 4 door models only slightly vary in price. If you build a truck on their website the price difference is only a meer $2800. When buying a $50,000 truck this makes little to no difference. Also dont forget, with the 2 1/2 doors you get a larger bed.
Are you crazy? $2800 bucks is a huge difference, maybe 500 isn't bad. But 50K is 1/2 the cost of most small homes. And you can get a long bed w/4dr.
Quad cabs looks gross... like vans.
weallgotissues No they dont..dumbass
christph3118
Yes they do.. dumbass
if the 2 differentials are positive now we have a Ford F150 z71 the problem on ford on 4x4 is that they don't work the same as the silverado z71 am a Ford Fan but ill say silverado always will win on 4x4 :/
How is that? The Silverado has the same weak auto g80 locker they have had since the 80's in their rearend. The ford has a selectable electric locker and a larger rearend, plus you don't see the Ford's snapping CV axles on the front end near as often as on the GM's. The GM trucks tend to be a little quicker but the Fords are the better built trucks. Look at any construction or oilfield crew, 9 out of 10 will be FORD. Just take a look under each of them and tell me which one is more heavy duty. An F150 looks like a GM 2500 underneath.
Independent rear suspension, totally normal. If it were a solid axle it wouldn't do that.
At this point why not just buy a Raptor?...
because the raptor is 10 grand more. also the raptor wouldn't have any advantage for what was done here other than stock tires being better and the 4.10 ratio.
the long travel suspension on the raptor is more for dunes/desert racing.
Cause the dealers don't discount the Raptor and the Raptor gets 10 mpg all the time. This truck you can get $10k off sticker....so the raptors 15-20k more with shit gas mileage.
It's more power than Fords 5.0 and chevys 4.8 and 5.3, even the new 5.3. You know nothing.
jesus hahahha
never mind but its very bad in desert
$50k??? just get a used raptor
Audi with four -wheel is better!
It's fun but it is ugly.
sorry ,but the best offroad machines are made in Europe and Japan.
Right,I´m european.Which are the 3 best offroad machines worldwide knowns for their capabilities?Waiting for your answer.....
mike b I don't see a response...
U.S.A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mike b
Do you ever heard about Land Rover Defender?When i was kid i read "Born Free" 1960-1961by Joy Adamson about a lioness criated by one family in Kenia (Africa),probably you know the movie.In this book one vehicle call landrover "helps" them in their every-day life.Than i thought that landrover is kind of car like sedan,statition wagon ,coupe etc.Later when i grew up i understand that is a brand of car,but for their offroad capabilities between the people the name of the brand became name of the type of vehicle in general.Here in Bulgaria we have one name for offroad vehicle(djip-pronouncing jiip) and i´m shure that is for the brand Jeep.Someone says i will buy myself one "DJIP" and he buys Toyota for example,not Jeep .Jeep is one of the best offroad machines too.
chrisman324 nope.For me the best offroad car is landrover,than G class professional.This is my opinion guys and if you don't like it please don't judge me.
mike b LAND ROVER DEFENDER , MERCEDES G CLASS and Land Rover Range Rover.This is my "eurotrash" answer.Only the wrangler may compite with them.The rest are not offroaders.
Oh, man, you call this off-road? I'll do this on my Dodge Caravan (except maybe the part where it got stuck).
That's more like off-road:
Нива и бездорожье

Ford suck!! The engine was smoking
+Andrew Gamboa It was steam...Have you ever been offroad? when water gets on hot engine/exhaust parts it exvaporates and turns to steam.
Yes..."Ford suck!!"....guess that's why it's been the best selling truck for over 40 years running! Not only the best selling truck, but the best selling vehicle in America PERIOD for over 40 years! Considering these things are about the lowest maintenance vehicles you can possibly get....I would hardly say that "Ford suck!!" More like " FORD = MURICA = AWESOME = BACK TO BACK WORLD WAR CHAMPS!" #youmad
f150 is the worst car ever in desert
