"This is our multi-function tailgate. There are many like it... but this one is ours."
Bruuuuhhh😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
Good to see Tim and Andre having a good laugh.
Drop the Prices about 20k and you would actually be doing something
Look at how high the bedsides are compared to the engineer's body!
It was hilarious looking when he was retrieving his lost fruit and the bedtop was at his head.
The price is insane for these '24s. I was just playing with the configurator. Also, that new tailgate is dumb.
Ram did it better. At least with that one, the whole width opens up.
They don't wanna admit the Ridgeline has the simplest and best variation of all these tailgates. Lol
@@jonathantyree8172 I like the Ram version better because of the dual doors. Seems to take less room. But I get that the Honda's single door is shorter overall. If that was split in the center would be ideal.
Whats going to be good for the customer? Lower your god damn price by 10 Grand! Ford trucks are sitting on their dealer lots 😂
I just tried to build a new f-150 platinum. Sadly there is no V-8 option and you cannot get a max trailer package hybrid. Even worse the options for the truck were reduced significantly. I cannot get a platinum without it being black wheels and black out exterior. It forces me into a limited styled grey blue interior if I don’t want blacked out truck. No more work surface option…
So I though maybe I’ll get the king ranch. But the options there are now reduced significantly. Towing capacity news reduced and the cost went up another $2000.
Then we tailgate is pathetic. It’s not as nice as the Ram it tries to copy. But worse GM offers a far better tailgate.
So, fewer options… ugly grills, lights, and a pathetic tailgate and it costs a hell of a lot more! What do you expect from a company that places WOKE ideology above truth and realities of the clientele who buy their trucks m
Give it time. The V* is still available.
@@Dusdaddy good.
have a Bud Light and calm down, Snowflake
If I’m a snowflake then you’re a good person. … but we know what you are just by your comment
@@Dusdaddynot on the platinum. Also you can’t build a platinum Powerboost with towing mirrors only the standard eco boost. And, they lowered the towing capacity to boot
The maddening part is it cost a lot more for less.
Best towing capacity at 4mpgs where my 3.0 diesel can get 12mpgs towing and up to 40 cruising highway.
$300,000 go-go gadget truck incoming
Fix those cam phasers yet? Dependability….
Hey, there’s a nut laying on the ground under the rear tire of your Tundra…..better check it out.
Actually (take with a grain of salt) the supposedly have fixed the cam phasers finally but only time will tell.
Tim, thanks for sharing this info!
they didn't update the towing mirrors
8:20 yeah a real problem. How about you keep a cardboard box handy to toss groceries or other crap in that stats right at the back. Most ppl have some sort of cover over the bed. Works very well.
I have a feeling this tailgate won’t be on many trucks. 🤔.
GM has still the best functional tailgate IMO.
3:49 Who's gonna tell the Ford Chief Engineer about payload limiting that tow capacity?
;-)
(just joking, pls don't come at me ...)
2500 lbs he said! Now real world we want a powerboost lariat with that. Bring the 7.2 kw to the superduty at least
@@travisfeld97yeah real world as in what configuration people actually buy puts payload at 1600-1700 max.
@@pryme2013 plug in hybrid would be cool!
I am very tempted to get this new pro access tailgate when I get my new truck later in 2024. But I'm torn, b/c there are some real advantages to that pull out step. I wish you could get that pull out step from the regular F150 pickup also a part of this new pro access tailgate. That would be great. It looks like there's room, so maybe it's a structure/strength thing. As for that new modular front bumper option with the winch capability on the Tremor, is that something I can decide not to get initially, but a year or two down the road swap out the initial bumper and add this modular one with the winch, a day two sort of decision?
Did the engineer also explain why they are #1 in recalls?
I was holding out for a 2.7L hybrid…
Yeah that would have been nice, even a 3.3 hybrid would have had a place in the market. Unfortunately that versatility is still seen as a premium or luxury item.
The 2.7 really seems like the natural choice- bring city econ up to the stellar highway econ and deliver the same power as the 2 bigger motors.
LOL @9:55 Andre. Hate to say it, but I like this tailgate better than the GM multi-flex tailgate. Even though, it is not new. Honda has had this tailgate on their ridgeline for years.
I don't think the Ridgeline gate will help with a trailer jack, but the Ram tailgate is exactly like this.
Gotta say, I think Ram won the tailgate wars....
@@Dusdaddy I would never buy a RAM. Seen too many issues with them in a fleet environment for a big company. Wiring, Transmission, Engine issues, fuel pumps etc. These were all vehicles under 75000 miles on them. A "tailgate war" winner is not enough to make me want one.
@@Boobtube. Didn't say they won the truck wars, but truthfully, I wouldn't hesitate to buy any brand. Are they really that different? How many recalls will this Ford have? GM is having issues with trannys and software. None of them are perfect.
It’s not all new f150, it’s a facelift
That's pretty much what Ford and Tim said before the release. No one is calling this "all new"
Do you happen to have video of the interior of the red Lariat with black appearance package they had there?
I don’t. Sorry.
1:52 "In base F150"... sorry to say that the Powerboost does not appear to be available on the base model XL trucks, unlike the 2021-2023 trucks. They want to increase production of they hybrids but they're taking them away from the cheaper trucks. They've also made the tow mirrors unavailable on the hybrid trucks as well. So much for making good use of the most powerful powertrain outside of the Raptors.
I just want an affordable v8 truck with no BS. I guess I won't be buying new trucks anymore.
glad we still have a 5.0 but god knows I can't afford these for 4 years
Please ask Ford why we can’t get the Black package with the Atlas Blue or Darkened Bronze exteriors. Customers who want those colors without ugly chrome seem to be out of luck. It may seem trivial, but when we’re dropping $80k for a truck we should be able to get any color we want with the Black package. Chrome is ugly.
I do not like that i can not get a XLT trim with a regular cab. I want to get a high end trim level with a regular cab.
Sadly, those days are over....
Having a subscription now to use 360-cams really helps it be “Built Ford Tough”
Notice he never goes into reliability which is summed up with their motto “built ford soft”
Get over it…. Please
Exactly why I have a 2020 Tundra.. Last 2 Fords were total garbage
@@mjuberian The new Tundra is garbage. Buy what you like and live your life….
@@cwqrpportable I agree
I agree - anything you purchase at this point has down sides; my issue, which I'm free to express is that the price for these things is ridiculously over priced, the quality is marginal at best, and the value of the technology being added to justify the pricing is questionable. So I apologize but this stuff is frustrating if you are actually looking for value, features and reliability. I support Tim's channel, and I appreciate the work he is doing - but I do think there is value in reminding the reviewers and hopefully through their influence the manufacturers that we see them and the crap they are trying to sell us .. just my .02 and don't plan to get over it.
Built Ford Tough= Made In China.
Buy a Toyota Tundra that is actually built in America instead.
ford is business partners with the CCP ...hard to grip. wait till the batteries catch fire.
I wasn’t aware the F series was made in china?
@@pryme2013 Now you are an informed consumer. Boycott all Made in China Ford trucks. Buy American, buy Made in America, buy the Toyota Tundra. Spread the word.
@@SilverScarletSpider Thank you for letting me know. Could you provide more information on this very well kept secret?
@@SilverScarletSpider The 22+ Tundras are insanely expensive cheap junk and ugly AF to boot.
How do you haul an 11 ft. long snowmobile?? Does the left side open? And wow that's a powerful hood!
With a snowmobile, you’ll want to get a regular tailgate not this optional one.
Uh...fold it down like you would with any other gate?
Is this truck still being outfitted with the garbage 10R80 transmission?
Yes 10 speed.
Dropping 3.3 liter is good for the customer? Not if they don't need anything more and don't want to pay for anything more.
Power boost is hooked up to a travel trailer in video, yet they won't even let you get tow mirrors with a Powerboost drive train.
Their "best in class" payload used to be 3300 lbs. He didn't say why they discontinued HDPP.
Do like the Modular front end of the Tremor.
the taillights and headlights are too aftermarket looking for me. need an OEM feeling option to make the lariat and up special
Everyone with their tailgate… meh unless your trailer has a very short tongue you can just drop the tailgate then use the side step from GM or Ford now to get into the bed. But wait it’s literally a grocery getter!! Lol
I drove a Ram with their fancy gate and it was damn useful. So easy to reach in for stuff. Granted, I could use a hook/stick but it was just easy with no negatives.
Looks like pricing is available on the build page if you want to check it ou.
All of these new innovations for the new F150 are great, but some of us who are now retired need something different and are looking at the maverick as an alternative to A full size truck I would love to see A video about the maverick if that is possible thank you love you videos
Tim that tremor grill looks horrible on video. Is it better in person?
I’ve never heard such a political engineering explanation
That new tremor is a decent truck….i like it. Pair it with a proven drivetrain and its great!
Thanks Tim for your show ! I think i will definitely keep my older 2016 F150 with the 5.0 V8 lol definitely pass on the 2024 .
Just call it ramgate
How is this innovative? The Ridgeline has had this tailgate since 2006
Why dont they make dump beds already
You want Ford to build dump beds?
Built ford tough! For your golf clubs.... guess it dont mean what it used to!
New Hybrid Variant?
Nope.
Still nothing that compares to the 3.0 Duramax though. They had the 3.0 Powerstroke but it's kind of a piece of junk and they discontinued it. GM always has the better powertrain options anyway.
What is this guy dreaming of?
My dad still has his 2006 Tundra with 678k mi. My brother has a 2008 Ford Triton with 125k mi. Tundra has original engine and transmission while the Ford had its engine replaced at 65k and transmission at 78k. Now the engine is acting up again on the Ford. So...what did i do?? I bought a 2020 tacoma and its a pos. Luckily i found a buyer for it and sold it after a year and 7k mi.
Somehow Tim always ends up next to a set of clubs. Hey, weren't we supposed to see Jill golf this season?
They did an amazing job.
COPIED TACOMA with these features… which is a good thing, more trucks near the things that Toyota has already
Great. Ford finally came up with a Tail gate and this is what they have to offer? GM wins the tail gate war hands down. Ford is little too late to the party. I also bet they marked up there prices 10k just for there “New innovation” I also like the fact that dependability is #3 on there list and not #1. That figures.. considering they are always dropping an engine and adding another every year.. what’s next 1.4 mega boost?
Do you mean the GM tailgate that gets dented if you open it with a trailer connected? Another example of failed GM engineering
WTF and OMG, they ruined the tailgate because they NO longer have the tailgate step with handle!! That's been around since 2009 or so!! Yeah, add an accessory step to an already expensive truck!! tragic!! Otherwise, the 2024 is a 2023 and earlier truck. Lol
Nice try. The tailgate step and handle is still available as an option.
is it still there because i didnt see it either@@cwqrpportable
@@cwqrpportable ... YES, correct. I just went to the FORD site and did a build. It is still available. Whew!!
