- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- 6 months and 10K miles in my 2021 Ford F150 has been good and bad.. In todays video we cover 6 things I've grown to hate in this truck!
The new generation F150 has a new feature called cylinder deactivation and it's in my opinion not something that is needed at all as it does not provide better fuel economy. This is only one of the things we mention in todays upload. This video is also a bit of an owners review as these annoying features has been something that has showed itself over time, I hope you enjoy the video!

#1 is a safety feature--trying to prevent accidental remote starts, particularly when your fob is in you pocket or purse or whatever. They want to make sure there's a deliberate act by the operator and not some random electrical contact glitch in the button(s).
That doesn't make sense. Most cars will shut off the remote start after 15 minutes and limits the amount of remote starts you can activate in between starting the car normally
@@mikerzisu9508 no it does make sense.
in fact they should make you verbally say to the fob yes start my truck, and if you swear at it nothing will happen except it says back " thats not a nice thing to say ! "
In my 7 years of having vehicles with remote start, not once has it started automatically.
@@AaronEmerald guess the safety features worked….
The collision thing is most likely do to the fact that you lifted the truck the safety systems are calibrated for the truck to be at a certain height
TC Customs did the lift and I can assure you they re-calibrated the cameras
@@blakedudley4692 Yeah BUT!!! mmmmmright makes you wonder still
@@blakedudley4692 well they messed up that re-calibration then
I have the same truck that’s not lifted and I turned off the pre collision because it was so bad
@@christopherpaiva1893 yeah I think some of the programming got fucked up in some F150’s.
#6. Had a very similar problem on my 2018 model. I had it in and out of the dealership probably ten times over six months and they couldn't figure it out. I found the problem myself. There's a cruise control module located in your bumper that acts like a radar. It has to be exactly level. Being as you installed the lift kit on your truck you probably need to have it adjusted. It's supposed to be done on a rack but you could probably do it yourself. It's like aiming a headlight
Both annoying and fascinating to hear. I fear that cars and trucks will one day become so complex that we'll go into a coma trying to read the owner's manuals.
Break in period. Gears are shorter even in OD. When you’re driving 85 you’re gonna go thru more fuel because the EPA Rates a vehicle around 60 mph. Stop flying around at 85 😂
was gonna say ... just 3 mph faster and boom 88 mph ! would of sent him back to the future
I was aware they tested at 55mph, but either way, it makes sense that the further above 55 or 60 you go, it spends more fuel.
@@dreadnoughtprime6301 The Energy Saving Trust says that the most efficient speed you can travel in a car in terms of achieving the best fuel economy is 55-65mph. Any faster, though, and the fuel efficiency decreases rapidly. For example, driving at 85mph uses 40% more fuel than at 70mph
@@BIKEMAN21 I wasn't aware of the exact nbers, but that's what I should have cited.
@@dreadnoughtprime6301 aerodynamic drag increases exponentially the faster you move
Nice video. I don’t know if you can complain about fuel economy going 85mph on a lift 😂
6 stupid things I hate about watching his video..
Haha same thought here. I also think that the EPA tests aren’t done at 85MPH (guessing though) and the faster the box goes, the more energy it needs.
Believe me, I hate the EPA numbers. Criminal that they’re allowed to claim what they do.
My 2016 was haunted with electrical issues, every time i took it to the dealer it wouldn't show up on a scan because it didn't act up all the time, hated that truck. And the sound quality isn't the issue, it's build quality. To many loose panels
Ford quality and reliability has dramatically tanked.
I'm a technitian at ford,we had the oil consumption issue on the previous 5.0 .Ford actually says in the workshop manual that they allow 1 qrt of oil consumption per 3000 miles. I would never go by the dash. If your towing or driving it hard that could b more. So basically I've seen trucks 3 to 3 and 1/2 qrts low. The ecoboost does the same thing. I've had them come in with a phaser rattle and come to find out it was low on oil because they waited for the oil life on the dash to tell them to change it
Oil is cheap engines are not change your oil every 3 to 5 k religiously
If the new truck has a more aggressive rear gear than the old truck it would explain the worse fuel economy (3.73s vs 3.55s for example)
EXACTLY!!! someone gets it!!!
It's a video to make money off of by posting vids about a truck he bought as a write off for the channel. The more people comment the more attention the vid gets.
The old truck was a 6 speed i believe also , so different gearing then a 10spd
@@chris-terfer yes that would be the point of every video on youtube.
What was his old trucks gearing
Bought mine May 26th. Currently have 11,532.9 miles on my Lariat. I’m loving it so far. Keep the videos coming man!
Whats your review on it ,please i am planning on buying one by the begging of the year .thk u .
When you lifted it you have to recalibrate you collision system. Happens on all trucks. With it.
Lifting is stupid
I lifted my 2014 Silverado and was over it a week later now I get much worse mpg on highway and I don’t drive above 67mph because of this
Number 3 is definitely the build quality of the truck, the speaker brand doesn't have anything to do with vibrations on door panels, its just not built well
Not insulated properly. Half ass design from Ford, playing off the B&O name.
I think deadening sheets will improve the issue
At the end of the day, it's still a Ford pickup. In comparison to his C63, that car was the same price, if not more expensive, while being a smaller car. And both are being built to a price point. In the end, it's a premium car vs an everyday Joe's full-size truck, or quality vs quantity.
what a stupid complaint. Mike expects a FORD TRUCK to have the same build quality as an Audi or MB??? I'd say he was ignorant but he's owned several of the absolute best Benz models. C'mon, man.
I agree with emdec55. Ford just wraps their cheap truck in leather and other nice materials to make it SEEM a little nicer. Underneath it all, it's still a Ford truck. If Ford built their trucks to the same level as Mercedes, their trucks would cost $150,000+.
Sound dampening/deadening will not only eliminate unwanted road noise from entering the cab, but it will also stop vibrations and rattles from inside the door panels, head liner, etc. I’m sure I’m not the only one that gets in the moment with a good song playing full blast and driving alone. There’s only two places where you can really listen to music through a finely tuned sound system, in a car, and in a home theater setup.
Lmao. I thought you are more a rock music guy. Imagine the laughter when you played Barbie girl. 🤣🤣
I remember when this dude thought his truck was only lifted 21 f150 when he got it
I have the B&O Unleashed and it's the best factory system I've had. Hands down better than the other option you get on the F-150 and worth every penny.
He's to spoiled to complain about stuff like this cause he had and f12 r8 c63s which are prob good quality for the price and plus him complain about the 2015 xlt that he had there was no b&o or sony u can get in an xlt so the stero is on ford which I get sucks guys to spoiled
I'm getting 24 - 26 mpg on my 2022 Platinum PowerBoost. It's fully loaded and currently @ 12100 miles. I love it.
Welllllll, what I’ve always done is upgrade the speakers and have an amp installed inc base unit. I have a 17 Toyota Tundra. In the old days I’d order a vehicle without a stereo or AM radio and upgrade it all.
If you didn’t do a speedometer calibration after going with bigger tires then your mpg might be slightly better than what your computer shows. Learned that with my hybrid tundra haha
Hybrid tundra ?
This!! A lot of people don’t ever think of getting their speedometers calibrated when lifting or installing bigger tires
even without cylinder deactivation my 2017 3.5 V6 with the 6 speed will bog down if you are too gentle on the gas, annoying as shit. sometimes i have to put it in sport mode to mitigate this.
So where did you get the Hybrid Tundra from? I own nothing but Toyota’s and there is no Hybrid Tundra…
@@Tatorvision welcome to the fake news, misinformattion revolution
Mike check your windscreen and clean it where the sensors are located near the rear view mirror... for the collision warning prompt... the windscreen could be dirty around there with dirt or a bug stuck interfering with the sensor... same thing happened on my BMW... the auto headlights would be on during the day... once after i cleaned that area the headlights were working in normal fashion...
Your oil consumption is due to not having cylinder sleeves. They used a plasma wire lining that’s then honed. It’s definitely not perfect and causes oil loss. My 2020 August build did the same thing. However I’m sure the cylinder deactivation is using some to due to fuel shutoff and acting like a diesel in a way with higher compression on the cylinders that aren’t getting fuel, but still receiving oil.
I traded mine in at 7000 miles. Hated it. Nice truck but hated it. 10speed sucks on lifted trucks and all the damn rattles and oil issues plus other little crap.
I have a XLT crew cab v8 and just went on a 2,000 mile trip at average speeds of 75 and everything is still stock. I got 23.5 mile per gallon.
With the tech in the truck, when you raise the truck and put larger tires and wheels, the system is now out of calibration.
One definite improvement on yours compared to my 2018 is that you can run the built-in Nav map as well as CarPlay features. On mine you cannot do that, you have to live with all CarPlay or nothing. Super annoying.
I've got a 2000 F150 with a 302 5.0 V8 with 150,000 original miles..I'd put my truck against ANY New F150 for power... reliability...
towing...gas mileage..(23 city..32 hiway)
AND Quality..I have NO RATTLES...NO ROAD NOISE..NO STUPID GADGETS
I’ve got a 2021 powerboost Lariat and I’m getting 24 miles to the gallon. Love your truck!
I've got a 2021 King Ranch with the 3.5L EB and 3.55 rear, FX4 and I still get 22 on shorter trips...then again, I don't do 85 either....
My 2018 f150 3.5 eco I have gotten as high as 25 mpg on long trips. Usually get around 20-23 but if I'm actually going for milage it can do better.
Vibrations?..I think the build quality of the truck isn't good enough to handle the powerful stereo system.
I was thinking the same thing, its just not built well. Same on my focus, the sound system makes all my doors rattle.
Exactly 🍻
I have the same truck. Zero vibrations/rattles when the B&O system is cranked up.
@@reidgrandchamp774 you got a good one then! But common on, a ford truck is not very well put together
@@evaristocorripio5434 Just not true
I owned a 2015 Silverado and rented a 2018 Ram, both had unique tells the cylinder deactivation was working. The Silverado's noise did not change but would shake when switching modes. Ram on the other hand had a noticeable sound difference on 4 cylinders like your F150 but was tolerable and couldn't hear it with the radio turned up a notch.
You can stop the cycling er deactivation by unplugging the clip from the battery and it turns off the deactivation and auto stop start.
You should have kept the old truck.. sell it and buy an old one again 👍🏼😉 .. and 4 cylinder deactivation should be a choice you can make by the press of a bottom and not something you are forced to drive with .. why then buy a V8 to begin with?
damn what a piece of shit ... good to know. buyer beware @#$% Ford
With the fuel mileage remember your last truck was a extended cab and your current truck is a crew cab. I would think that the new truck is heavier if you compare them both in stock format. Keep the videos coming!
Was going to say the same thing. Plus this truck is a loaded Lariat with all kinds of features, the last one was an XLT. Few hundred pounds lighter
If you're driving 85 mph you're not REALLY concerned about your mpg's. I'm surprised the cylinder deactivation ever kicks in at that speed unless the truck is traveling downhill.
Nothing get good mileage going that fast. But the point I’m trying to make is the extended cab could be lighter. But he did say “kinda petty”. 1or 2 mpg difference.
@@adamtoman5855 I agree with what you said.
Looks like bigger tires too. That’ll definitely affect it
6: the alert sound is just that, An alert.
The system is detecting a partial fault with the ABS and it quickly resolves itself since the ABS and TCS lights turn off quickly.
So each time you hit the brakes you get a new fault, if the system never cleared itself you would not be getting those alerts seeing as they're already existing.
just got my 2022 with a 5.0 in it, so it's not over 🥳
I know that with all these new cars and there new sensors they have, they get un calibrated if you lift your vehicle. There all set for a stock ride hight, you might be able to go to for and have them recalibrate it for your trucks height.
Yeah, the B&O systems haven't been really tuned for Ford's vehicles, people have had the same complaints in the Ranger. Its like B&O got bought out, like many others, and just after had formed the partnership with Ford. People seem to have no issues with the Harmon Kardon system in the upper tier Rams, and I hear the Fender system in the Nissan trucks sound good too.
I bet the door noises could be fixed with 50x50cm piece of dynamat. They just installed good speakers without any prep for more bass
When you pay 4k for bowers wilkins in Mercedes, you get pieces that have been designed to go together and fine tuned and tested by audiophile for hundreds if not thousands of hours.
Honestly the only rattle I do get from my B&O unleaded is when I have the rear sliding window all the way open. If I crack it shut by a touch it stops. I’m pleased with the system
@@Azerlazer26 I have the same rattle ... everything else about this truck is GREAT ... They guy is "not complaining", but really is ... there is a LOT of tech in these trucks and for me it all works as presented.
Had a 2016 f150 with a 5.0 crew cab 6’6” bed. Got 23 mpg going to the beach from KY.
I am a Ford guy but one think i hate about the new fords is the door chime
I’ve found 2 things on my 21 that are driving me crazy. First one is the horn beep that goes off if you get out of the truck when it’s running and you have the fob in your pocket. It happens literally when you get a foot away from the truck. The other one is that Ford can’t seem to figure out how to make a trailer plug/ trailer light module work with LED lights. All my trailers I tow have LED lights and they all give me an alert (chime) like your abs fault non stop when towing. They have changed the trailer light module, the trailer plug and I’ve tried probably 7 or 8 trailers now and they all give a fault of some sort. Sometimes it says trailer disconnected, sometimes check a certain turn lamp, sometime trailer light module fault and every time it does it all the lights are still working. Seems there is an adapter you can buy off Amazon but the point is Ford should know that folks are going to tow and should make a module that will function properly with both normal and LED trailer lights.
That horn "feature" is enough to make me not buy a F-150. It drove me crazy, especially at night, when I was trying to leave on a trip. My neighbors hated me. After a couple of 4am trips to the airport, I started looking at Rams.
My dad drove away without his keys once. He drove 2 hours away. Trust me, it's a good thing.
@@bobmoore4010 UNBELIEVABLE... what Americans complain about!
My grandpa would take a switch to your arse for complaining about safety features!
Whew!
@@Someguy-gl2rx Then lock the transmission in park if the fob is not in the car. Don't honk the horn.
@@NomadByNecessity Stereotype much, or just this time? That beeping horn is stupid, regardless of what country you're in.
I wish that I’d bought a Ram. My f150 is going to be lemon lawed.
@Patrick Gabriel Ive owned seven brand new Rams including my current 2021 Big Horn crew and I loved everyone of them they are the best!!!!
Hi Mike, my tech advisor keeps telling me that cylinder deactivation is for compliance with stricter emissions standards. Just like auto-engine start/stop, variable displacement technology allows manufacturers to meet tighter emissions targets with their current ICE offerings. Ford must now use every trick in the book to satisfy the EPA, an agency that uses compliance with the Clean Air Act to err on the side of less pollution versus fuel economy. Next stop, our Electric Future.
a 6000 lb truck in compliance with the environment is a oxymoron : P
@@BIKEMAN21 i lol'd at this
We have 2021 and havent had any of the issues you speak about here. What we have noticed is the auto engine shut off when stopped but easy way to bypass that is putting an led harness checker plug. Second thing we dont like is tire rub on the front bumper support. Running 35" and a 6" BDS luft.
Sounds like when my 06 Impala goes into overdrive😂
Your ABS warning and collision assist warning is bc of a bad brake booster. Same thing happened on my bone stock 2021 2.7 F150 @ 4k miles. There is a recall for a seal that was not installed correctly, and that allows brake fluid to leak into the wiring harness attached to the booster. This causes all sorts of shorts and warning messages (and that annoying chime) but doesn’t change drivability of the truck. They obviously fixed it free of charge. Hope this helps.
Ugh finally!! A real review on how aqua sounds in a truck! Thank you!! 🤣🤣🙌 as a man with girls, this knowledge is precious 🙌🤙
im a barbie girl in a barbie world la la la best song : P
Great Truck! #1 if there is a ABS problem take it back to the dealer and make them eat that problem until its fixed i'm sure its still under warranty! #2 maybe fuel economy is bad because you are a little hard on your cars! #3 there are devices out there that will eliminate cyclinder deactivation for good. i did it on my 2011 avalanche and took it on a road trip to jacksonville florida and my truck did 19-20mpg at 80mph! for some reason though GM gets better MPG than Ford don't know why!
I have a 2014 F-150 Platinum and the remote start does the exact same thing. Love your videos.
You got to hold on the second press for the remote start . It’s on the instructions.
Do you need to have the collision system reconfigured after being lifted? My radar got moved barely at all and it won't work anymore without calibration
Has nothing to do with it being lifted, this is happening recently. Truck has been lifted for 6 months and never an issue
ABS and GAS is the lift and tires.... Go to Ford and see if they can recalibrate the system to read the highth differance and so... Yes it is a bummer on a brand new truck. Tomorrow I'm buying the 2021 with 3.5 EcoBoost... I hope I'm not screwing up getting it!! As for the B&O system I refused it, I have all of my Memphis belle stuff added which will rock that baby nicely.. Good luck and thanks for all your video's guy..
It’s not the stereo, it’s the cheap interior parts, cheaper and thinner plastics vs German. German cars also well sound dampened compared to American.
American or not, when you pay the same price for a vehicle that is physically twice the size, you gotta expect some cost cutting somewhere.
I just purchased a 2021 f150 xlt,just completed a 3000 mile road trip. I found the cloth seats are probably the most uncomfortable seats I've ever had, plus when l tilt the steering wheel to a comfortable position it blocks the top row of gauges in the dash.and yes the audio system is really poor,having a button for the fuel door in the dash is absolutely a pain,the rest of the truck is pretty decent
It’s like all the things he’s complaining about wouldn’t have happened if he didn’t mod the damn truck
My company bought 3 new freightliners this year and we have those same safety crap. They are always doing the same thing. It scares the crap out of me. The collision warning goes off at random. Took it to the dealer and they said its the programming they said there is no up dates for any vehicle equipped with it at the moment
Is the axle gear ratio the same in both trucks? If not, that would make a difference in mileage.
That was my thought as well. The 5.0 can be had I think at 3.31 and 3.73. Big difference there.
Hows that work? Is a higher or lower gear ratio better for mileage?
@@atl3630 lower
The lower the gearing the better the mpg that’s why most off-road vehicles have gearing in the 4’s
@@willy0301 lower numerically. A "lower gear" is higher numerically.
The B&O rattle is a feature. It keeps you from listening to hip hop in a truck. And talk to the EPA on why the cyl deactivate. But all you have to do is drive in Sport or Tow/Haul mode. Disables this.
MIKE- As others have said the sound system issue is a ford design problem, but HERE IS THE FIX. Get your truck dynamated. All the doors ( maybe they can do under the headliner too ? ) but that will take care of the vibrations and nonsense for a powerful system, in a subpar interior.
It's almost 12midnight in my time zone and I have stumbled on a brand new video by AutoVlog's
My night is made
I have the same issue with my remote start! Drives me nuts my 2015 and my 2018 both work so much better like you said! I also got better mpg on my V8 2015!
Never an issue with mine. It takes 1.5 seconds to do the whole 1 and 2 click. Trying to spam it in .1 seconds and complaining when it doesn't work is indeed petty.
Why complain about the remote start in just use my phone to remote start as far as mileage goes my 2020 Ford 4x4 gets 23 on the highway with the V8 that’s going 70 with the cruise set all stock no modifications
I'm having the EXACT same issue with my 21 Powerboost.. I'm averaging 15.4 stock...
That's even when getting 10-15% battery only...
It's at the dealership right now..
cylinder deactivation is probably emissions regulations compliance, i bet same goes for engine stop start
the dealers better have options to deactivate all that crap or it would be a deal breaker for me
The Pulsar LT will let you calibrate for your new tires and set your speedometer to adjust for the larger tires. You can also set sensitivity on your gas pedal.
Great video! 🙌🏻

Ok ok calm down town and country, he'll only be on here till October then has to get a real job 🤣🤣
Hey town get off his mushroom already
@@jedmassey what you mean?
Maybe that's something at TC Customs you could do is add sound absorbing mats around the speakers to get rid of that
Cylinder deactivation is indeed irritating. Plus it is unreliably, everywhere. My Dodge disables it by going on manual mode transmission, or sport mode. Guess what I do a second I start driving...
Since you don’t like your truck anymore you should let me have it, I don’t have a problem with those small things 😏
The one thing I hate about my 2020 f150 5.0 loaded lariat is that it’s waiting for a new engine die to excessive oil consumption. Been without it since 6-14-22. They have no idea to this day when it’s coming in.
Your forward collision warning errors are likely due to the lift kit... and may be related to the ABS error as well. That is not Ford's fault.
Assistance Technology needs to be adapted / aligned to the modifications. Owners fault, not Fords mistake
Grtz from Germany (2021 RAM owner)
The mileage you can go before an oil change depends on the oil used. The sensors have a set distance they go before they let you know it needs to be changed.
I really love your truck and your videos!
I didn't think a rich person who spent $80k cares about MPG....
With respect to the fuel economy, what did your old truck get in its first 1000 miles? Although these modern vehicles don't have much of a break-in period, I have found my gas mileage got better after a few 1000 miles in comparison to brand new.
I haven't read all the comments so I don't know if it's been mentioned but I'm pretty sure I can guess what's wrong with your ABS system...When you change your tire or wheel size you have to program the truck with the new size so it can correctly calculate Mileage, MPG and be able to calculate it's speed so it can judge distance for collision warning and if the tires are a different size then what it is expecting it might think objects are closer then they really are and trigger the collision detection early. ForScan should allow you to change it and there are a few online vids about it.
One thing I was always told was never get a brand new model of a brand new/revamped car you are going to be the beta testers basically find all the bugs.
I just got a 2022 F150 and I have the same problem with the Remote Start.... interesting - thanks for confirming
I had a 2018 5.0L with 20x12 -44 on 33" tires and My fuel mileage was the same way until I got the speedo recalibrated. I'm not sure if you tried that or not.
I have a 15 f150 and love it. It’s been from south Mississippi to Moab and all over Colorado, a few times. 170k miles. My dad has a 19 5.0 and he has the same issue with the chime when apply brakes. After looking his truck over and riding in it, we discovers it was his led brake light bar under his tailgate. It has a standard 4 prong plug that plugs into the trailer light plug. When it’s not plugged in, no more chime or abs lights. So if you have a light bar, unplug it and see if that helps.
i bet the lower fuel economy is because this truck is the crew cab loaded with leather, whereas your previous truck was just the extended cab with cloth seats. there is probably an 800 pound difference between the two.
And this truck is still new and maybe not yet broken in all the way to get that gas mileage?
@AutoVlog
Don’t know if you’re still having the issue with the doors rattling, but you should get some dynomat installed. It will fix that and deaden the road noise as well. The truck has amazing speakers, so they need some sound dampening materials to help out a little bit.
Your honesty is refreshing ! Love ur content
I understand your complaint about the GPS… touch the red arrow that displays on the GPS screen that point in the direction your driving in and that should show you if not there try looking in settings…
The stereo is fine, it's the truck, ford did not make the truck tight, and seal it good enough, the stereo is to good for the F150...gotta remember it's a F150...
I sell them for a living some folks act as if it's supposed be luxury car, half the people that buy them don't tow or even use them like a truck.
Putting a cylinder deactivation system is ford’s worst mistake. Absolutely disappointing. They will never learn. All companies need to stop that.
Love the videos man keep it up.
The systen you are talking about, makes worst consumption of gas, the reason is because when the system goes from 8 to 4 cyl, trying get "better" consumption, the only thing is happening is, at any bridge or any hills the truck need more power then goes back to 8cyl, just right there that transition means more gas, so, what I see in this kind of system is if you are running in flat, "works, but if the road has bridge or any little hill the gas consumption is really horrible, that's what I saw in that kind of system.
How do you feel like your paint protection wrap is holding up?
On the stereo I had a static issue after going to AM. So I did a complete master reset. That fixed it
Hey brother first off I just would like to say how much I enjoy your channel and how straight forward and down to earth you are.
Also I wonder if all those false warning lights and chimes have something to do with the lift kit on your truck. I know some trucks have no issues with them but maybe because of all the high tech safety things on yours the truck thinks something is wrong. Don’t know I’m not a mechanic but just throwing it out there.
Thanks so much for your great channel and keep up the hard work it’s much appreciated 👍🏻👊🏻
I have to be honest.. I had the F150 for 1 yr and hated it.. went and bought a Ram 1500 Laramie Sport LOADED! Pano roof sport hood, 392 gears. And E Torque 5.7 hemorrhoid.
ALWAYS on the road I’d get 21+
In town 19 all day driving normal. Also they’re very nice inside
Just a couple things I want to nitpick from the 2ish months with my 21 Lariat sport.
1) I WISH you can permanently disable the auto start/stop feature. I know it takes a second to tap the button to turn it off but it would be nice to not have to deal with it every time I turn on the truck.
2) the digital gauge cluster is good, but not awesome. I do wish we had more freedom to customize the cluster. Compared to some other vehicles I’ve been in, it just doesn’t seem as developed. Good example is the mustangs digital dash. Very well thought out and well customizable.
I know these trucks have over the air updates so maybe we can see some new features down the road?
Overall I do love the truck. Arguably, it’s probably one of the best vehicles I’ve had so far.
On my current F150 2020 5.0, I get those collision alerts out of nowhere, as it started happening it was almost the same arear on my way to work on 96 westbound in Livonia Michigan.
6:20 lmao 🤣
my dads 2017 f150 lariat came wit sony speakers and when u blast it’s pure music. its a million times better than other cars speakers
I know you like the V8 sound but that cylinder deactivation would drive me crazy if you couldn’t turn it off. Power boost seems better especially the performance.
that is some serious bullshit if it cant be " deactivated"
At 25,000 or 50,000 miles trade it off.
Make sure the next one doesn't do it.
I have a 2020 Ford 150 XLT and it doesn't do that at all...
Mike just thought I’d let you know I’m here just to watch your banter more than the car stuff.
Don’t feel under pressure to put up car content as you’re entertaining enough as it is, I reckon most people like me are here for you and your daily life / family life etc.
Keep it up bro 😎
hes a very likeable dude, his honesty is spot on.
Check out what happens when the heater control damper module goes out. 20 hours repair to replace a $20 part. The dash, seats and console has to be removed.
Great video, you could maybe try this for your stereo, maybe a bit of a struggle to apply in certain areas but use a sound deadening material inside your roof liner and your doors.
lol , yes lets tear it all apart : P
My first model year of my 2019 Ram limited when they did the full makeover was full of issues. 1 was the Harmon Kardon 19 speaker audio system. Had no life to it. Finally, after a major software update corrected many issues and now it thumps! Fixed other glitches in my GPS too. So glad I got the version that has no cylinder deactivation feature! Regardless, make your list and take it to the dealer. The abs and proximity sensors can be a dangerous problem in the future. Had to have mine replaced!
Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding job, have a great day.
The issue with the stereo system doesn't actually sound (no pun intended) like it's an issue with the stereo but rather with poor build quality of the doors and ceiling. If anything, the stereo is too good for Ford's infamous poorly built door panels and ceiling.
Maybe I've heard those B and O systems are trash
We need a danger ranger video !
Oil consumption has definitely been an issue for the 5.0 in the f150's and ford is aware of it. It has been ongoing in my 2018 since I bought it new. First the dealer replaced the dipstick with a longer one and then they did a tsb update on the computer altering the fuel injection process which only helped a little bit. They finally said it is how it is and it will not be a problem but ended up extending my powertrain warranty to 110k miles for peace of mind.
