@@CarsWithSteve I went with a White 302A with most of the options except the sunroof, onboard scales and max tow package. I’m still waiting for it. If it’s on schedule it should have been built a few days ago but I’m expecting it to be delayed.
Steve, thanks for the informative video. Just sharing some info for others here. I bought a used 2022 F150, XLT 302A Sport 5.0L V8 in April, 2024 for around CAD $51,000 with 40,000kms and have driven 35,000kms since then. I definitely couldn't afford a brand new one. It was replacing a 2014 F150 302A with 375,000kms. I absolutely LOVE this truck and am amazed at the improved overall technology and comfort. I have no sunroof but factory spray-in bed liner, tailgate work surface, and tailgate step. I love everything about it except 2 minor annoyances: the headlamp knob/controller and the other controls in the same cluster are hidden and hard to see when you're driving; I actually think the infotainment screen is waaaay too big. Oh, and the truck was selling with the oversized tow mirrors which I don't like and the dealer easily swapped them out for regular mirrors. P.S. from your video...I'm sure you know this by now (I haven't read all comments below) but the map on the door is Detroit.
You're welcome! I think it's a great call to get a good used truck when a new one doesn't make sense financially. I've driven used cars for most of my life and love not taking that initial depreciation hit! Crazy that the last one was able to get up to 375,00km, hopefully this new one does that same Thanks for pointing out that map, should have figured that was the case!
Thanks for the super helpful video! I was in the market for a new vehicle and on the budget I had, I knew it was going to be an XLT. Yesterday, I picked up my brand new 2022 F-150 XLT with the Sport Appearance Package!
Thanks , I watched twice before I bought, and I’m looking at your reviews again to know my truck better 3 months in: 2022 F150 XLT 302a package long box with the work surface. I love the moonroof. And the 5l, it’s an awesome truck with spunk. I’m in Canada too and so added LT all terrain tires as an option I couldn’t live without.
That's great, glad the video helped! Great build on the truck too.. that work surface area is a great feature. Check these out too! Sync4: ruclips.net/video/2Hh9tz87dQI/видео.html Steering wheel / cluster: ruclips.net/video/zTeu3e5tRJ0/видео.html
Thanks for a very informative video. We ordered our Ford F150 XLT, crew cab, 6.5 box with a 5.0L V8 and the 302 A High equipment group .We also paid to have our warranty extended . Found out it would be a 3 to 6 month wait. Thank goodness we didn't order something else, up to a year wait ! Things sure have changed !
Glad you found the review helpful! Great build that you've got and that turnaround time is pretty accurate. Crazy how things are right now. If it makes you feel any better I had someone comment that their build was moved closer almost a month - so you might luck out and see it in 3 - 4!

Those "bottle openers" on the tailgate can be used that way, but they're primarily designed to be tiedown points for when you're hauling long loads with the tailgate down.
This was my favorite review of the 2022 F150. Nice work my man. Very thorough. It looks like youre in Canada. Its crazy we get the sliding rear window, box lighting etc standard with the 302A package but our American friends have to opt for the "bed utility package" and add the sliding rear window on separately as paid options. You have a new subscriber in me.
Really appreciate that! Good catch, I'm just outside of Toronto. It's weird what things are standard vs optional or not available in Canada vs US but pretty much every brand is like that
Steve, have a couple of technical questions please. I’ve learned that since last modification in v8 aluminum block instead of using piston steel sleeves Ford is using plasma coating, which renders newer v8 block disposable/irreparable. Is it also true for their current V6 3.5L aluminum blocks? Or they still use steel sleeves in those? Also is there aftermarket steel oil pan for V6 2.7L graphite block? I work for Ford manufacturing and every guy I talked to who owns a v6 2.7L had their driveway ruined. They still love their trucks. Ford claims they found solution but it did not seem fixed the leaking problem permanently. Also that composite oil pan has a ridiculous disposable plastic oil plug situated on a side that doesn’t seem helping the problem. So is there an aftermarket steel or cast aluminum oil pan with conventional oil plug for 2.7L? Thank you.
The XLT is probably the best overall bang for you buck truck on the market. That said, its amazing to me that Ford can justify putting halogen headlights on a $60k truck.
Steve, congrats on becoming a full-time utuber! I’m interested if fx4 option is available with a gear-shifter on a steering column and bench seat for Canadian customers. I saw trucks like that with American plates but it seems not an option in Canada. Thank you.
Thanks Mike, appreciate that! Yes, you can still have the bench 1st row with the FX4 package if you're in the XL/XLT/Lariat. It's when you get into the Sport Pack, Black Appearance package or King Ranch and up that forces you to have the 40/console/40 config
Great review!! Still waiting on my f150xlt. Ordered it in February. I'm trying to be patient. I didn't know you could have the auto start stop feature completely removed !!!!! Had I known that I would've had that removed when I ordered it!!! It is the dumbest function, useless and serves no purpose. I hope there's still a manual button to at least shut off this annoying feature while I drive!
Thanks Paul! Whew that's a bit of a wait so far. Has the dealer updated you as to whether it's entered production? Wish salespeople would let people know about the start/stop delete option. It's not available in all configurations but still a nice option! The dealer should be able to pull out the feature before delivery too There's a button to turn it off but once you turn off the engine and then jump back in, you have to turn it off again
Im curious whats the going price of these F-150s. Im about to get dealed an F-150 XLT sport 302A MSRP 71K$ WITH -14500$ discount so at 56680$ CAD! Nowadays iust seeing if the price is right😮
Assuming that's a 2023... that's a really damn good price for the build you're looking at. Most dealers I know are $6k under MSRP right now and the XLT only has a 5-7k profit margin depending on the build
Thanks Julio! Yes you can get the jump seat (40/20/40) bench in the XLT. The 1st row bench is the standard configuration with the one with the 1st row console being optional!
Just wondering does the XLT 302a package have the advance trac sport Mode when you double press the traction control button twice, like the Lariat does or is that only on the higher models like the Lariat, King ranch, tremors, limited and raptor ? .. but them XLT302"s are sure nice trucks
@@nuttynut54 XLT 302a high pack is good with the Tremor 402a being a good catch between the XLT and Lariat. If you're not going off-road the Lariat is good if you want a leather interior!
Great video thank you. I just received my 2022 F150 with exactly the same packages as in your video. I also have the trailer tow package (17T). My truck does not have the LED box lighting or the scale option. Does this mean Ford screwed me on items or I am missing something? Thanks.
Thanks! It looks like part way through the model year there was the introduction of the Bed Utility Package (68L) that adds in the LED Box Lighting. It's no longer standard on anything but the Raptor in the 2023 now
Best video review of the Ford f 150 . Very thorough. I’m looking to purchases. Full size truck now and am very much considering the f-150 I’ve been a GM guy my entire life . So I’m really trying to do my research . Does anyone know , does the XLT Sport package like the one on this video come with an option to have the 40/20 bench in the front with the 3 rd seat in the middle ?
Thanks Jowar, appreciate that! The XLT Sport Package won't have the option for the 40/20/40 bench for the 1st row. You'd need to take off the sport package which means you'll also have some chrome on the outside!
Hmm interesting. I know a few people with 3.5L that have almost 100,000 km on it with no issues. There are always people who want to stick with the 5.0L though
I bought a 2021 F150 with the 5.0. the 10 speed transmission is trash. To date, I have 4000 miles on it. (ordered in july 2020 took six months to arrive.) Kendall ford has already reset the trans once and I'm bringing it in tomorrow for loss of power problems as well as hard shifting. They told me there ar no parts to repair or replace the trans. They also quipped: "Yeah, those 10 speeds are a problem" They are selling these trucks knowing the 10 speed is a problem and they can't honor the warranty when it fails. Class action law suits are the only avenues for recourse. Don't buy one. Junk.
I've heard of some issues with the 10 speed with the 5.0L but haven't heard much about the same thing with the EcoBoost. If the dealer ends up figuring out what's up I'd be curious what the fix was
Easily the most informative video about the 21+ f150. Watched this video before I ordered and watched again when it finally came. 22 5.0 with max tow.
Thanks! That 5.0 is a solid engine. What colour did you go for?
@@CarsWithSteve space white, first white vehicle I've owned.
@@GenuineRedneck nice, hope the truck treats you well!
Yesssirrrrrrr I just bought the 5.0 with max tow. The 5.0 only had 1 mpg less than the 3.5 turbo.
This is definitely one of the best reviews on youtube. I can’t wait to get mine.
Appreciate that! What build are you going with?
I know right I ordered mine in January. Just want a vin. Lol. At least that would be a start.
