Btw, hearing a review from a Ford mechanic point of view, pointing out all the parts of the engine, good or bad aspects and all the other mechanical ins and outs is a powerful review! You have an angle most others cannot provide!
Nice. So many trucks now are loaded up with the biggest and baddest engines as possible, turbos, hybrids, etc. The biggest cabs as possible, the most tech we can cram in there, every part of the dash is a screen, the biggest wheels and tires, the heaviest tow packages possible, it goes on and on. Then we wonder why trucks are $80k, and cost so much to fix. This is what I would call a normal truck, with a price tag that someone who works for a living can handle. It's really breath of fresh air.
Clean looking truck. I can appreciate the space under the hood, which makes common maintenance items easier and faster to perform. A high point, the water pump is not driven by the timing chain!
great presentation. Thanks! Im 73 years old and 6 foot 6. Just want super dependable daily driver, no towing or off road. I have 2 grandsons that would love travelling in this truck. 2018 with 3.3 paired with 6 speed is what im shooting for.
looking at a 3.3 liter with 290 horsepower is just so amazing. Back when I was a teen and me and my buddies were working on our first cars and trucks, a new F100 / F150 with a 5.0 liter had 130 horsepower and 224 lb ft of torque.
Great presentation. Thank you. I am 73 years old and 6 ft 6 in tall. Just looking for a simple truck for daily driving purposes, no towing or very little off-road use. I have two young grandkids who would love to ride in this truck. So I'm shooting for a 2018 or 19 with 3.3 paired with a six-speed transmission. I think this would be a great truck for my retirement years. Thank you very much for all the videos you post there are super informative.
I agree but many folks outs there want everything on it or loaded. Such as waste of ideals for a pickup truck to be fully loaded with tenderfoot options that truly don't make a truck a truck.
I know a buddy with a 3.3 2018 f150 and hes a GMC dealer mechanic. But hes one of those guys who say “i spend all day working on customer vehicles and i dont want to work on my own vehicles.” A typical “mechanic owned special”. Kind of unfortunate that he is a mechanic but would rather pay someone else to work on his own truck. I am the kind of person who services my truck every 4/5k miles religiously, staying late after work to preform my own services. I own a 2021 toyota tacoma and work at a toyota dealership so it makes it very easy for me.
We have those 3.3s in our Police Interceptor Explorers and so far we're pretty impressed with them. I was sad to see the 3.7s go because they were a hell of a good motor aside from those damn water pumps. One thing I like about those 3.3s in our Interceptors is they're both port and direct injected. Hopefully it cuts down on the carbon build up on the intake valves.
Ford should have watched mad max, the 3.3 powered ones should be called "police pursuit", and the 400hp 3.0 Ecoboost version called "police interceptor"!
The duratec engines are solid and strong. Love these base packages, they are the value and reliability king…this truck is nicer than most XLTs from the previous years.
Exactly, I could be wrong, but doesn't duratec essentially stand for durable technology? The 3.5 duratec in our explorer is fantastic. Apparently, some 3.5s have an issue with water pump failures, but this is a pretty uncommon issue, and doesn't seem to happen as much on post 2012 3.5 engines.
@@KB-bh9hp I don’t know what it stands for, we have 4 at the town ,2 3.7 explorer police interceptors, 2019s the last year they made that style. Also have 2 3.5L 2016 explorers. The engines are smooth and powerful ,good on fuel.They don’t burn any oil and they are very very quiet and refined. My 2020 F150 3.5 eco-boost is duratec based as well. Smooth and powerful, tows like a diesel.
Yep, can vouch for these 3.3L. Got a 2018 and love it just as a daily driver. I do think these 2021's have a better interior than mine though. I'd definitely buy one again.
I really like the look of this truck. It is well appointed. The mobile desk in the center console is a nice touch. The engine is nicely accessible for ease of servicing. Hopefully this engine doesn't choke up with carbon.
just checked and it says the Ford 3.3 L Cyclone V6 on the ford F150 since 2018 has both port and direct fuel injection. I assume this would at least mitigate the effects of carbon sludge buildup on the valves since there is at least some gas flow to wash the valves.
they purposely manipulate this , for the consumer to spend more for interior, Ford is the leading market at least in trucks, they offer this basic interior for 50k basically because they can get away with it.
Hello from Nova Scotia Canada. I love your videos. I currently drive a 19'F150 Supercrew Lariat. I've learned so much from you.Please keep the videos coming!
People need to stop paying the ridiculous prices these crooked dealers are charging for vehicles. Should be illegal. I was going to buy a new truck this year but am not now. If we stop giving in to the crooks prices will go back to normal.
I have a 2021 v6 f150 regular cab 2x4. brand new now it has 1600 miles. No power windows no power mirror no power locks grey vynal interior. It feels amazing coming from a 99 rav 4.

Power is optimized with twin independent variable cam timing to utilize every drop of fuel. The 3.3L V6 engine is highly responsive and is just as capable on the highway as it is hauling material. Key specs include: Horsepower 290 HP Torque 265 lb.-ft. Max. Towing 7,700 lbs. Max. Payload 1,990 lbs. F-150 Trim Availability XL, XLT
I have a 2021 SuperCap XLT 4x4 with the XTR package. 19k on the 3.3 NA motor. Great truck! Had several C150’s. Thought the 2.7 was a better motor with more pep and HP. But no complaints with this 3.3 ! Definitely does the job for what I need it for. Sync 4 with all the bells and whistles I need.
I'll watch later today. My local dealer has a black short bed/reg cab 2wd with the 3.3 and in XLT trim. Brand new on the lot FS. Thats not a common configuration around here. Seems like 99% are super crew/4x4s with eco boosts or 5.0s. I'd like to go look at it and test drive it to see what the base (non turbo) v6 feels like.
I have a 2016 regular cab, short box, xlt, 3.73, two wheel drive, 3.5 na and of course it doesn't move fast from a standing start but if your rolling and have to get out of the way then how fast the rev up to 7000rpm will startle you at first. Full truck is 4500 lbs with full tank. It has been, and is a pleasure to drive and own.
That’s pretty alright for an XL. I do prefer the XLT gauge cluster over the all digital cluster on the Lariat. These fleet models really are cleaning up.
That’s a nice little engine. Thinking about getting that as a fleet replacement vehicle. Don’t need to tow to much with it mostly haul some small things in the bed going to job sites.

Nice review! I got the 2018 model of this truck last summer and have still not been able to figure out how to get the FordPass app to work, it says "This vehicle does not have connectivity." any insight into why? I assume their fleet vehicles don't have whatever hardware is required to use the remote start etc. from your phone, but haven't been able to find a clear answer yet as the dummies at the dealership had no idea why it wouldn't work... everything else is great, though! Wish I had more power sometimes, but it's still more than I actually NEED.
Pretty delux for an XL. With the 3.3L V6 you have a ton of room to work on just about everything. =Great fleet or work trucks, yet comfortable and has good power.
@@FordBossMe that's what I'm looking for. I want to stay away from cylinder deactivation and turbos. a similar configuration on a ram classic 3.6 v6 is also a top contender. plus my grandpa said I might be out of the will if a get the ford

I have one of these engines in my company truck.. it's not terrible! I thought it was gutless when I first got it because my personal truck is a 5.7 hemi. Now that I'm used to it, it does have some gitty up when you need to pass. You just need to realize that the engine needs to rev out to 3 -5 k. Gas mileage is ok, but not that much better than my Hemi on the highway. The drawback is that the transmission will downshift climbing " any" grade ( 6 speed), whereas my hemi will pull a hill in top gear. My one pet peeve is that the oil dipstick is too short and you need to stand on your head to reach it.. Ford could lengthen it to accommodate the use in the truck.
i have this model for my company vehicle , i am impressed nice motor averaged 21 mpg i do a lot of driving and it idles a long time it will drop to about 15 avg mpg the 10 speed trans is nice it took about 2k and the 10 speed really settled in , i would buy one .
Now i like that engine bay, nice and open, easy to work on, my 2021 5.0 engine bay is similar, not as open, but not too cramped like the ecoboost engines.
this is one of the reasons i have no interest in the ecoboost engines(besides extra cost when something breaks) alot easier to work on and more than likely longer lasting
3.3 going to have a fun time towing a decent load up a grade. the new nissan frontier with a 3.8 v6 was pinned at 5k and above rpm for 8 minutes straight. (from youtube videos)
Would be ok to put 5/30 or even 10/30 in this motor if leaving in the southern states? Thank you! I rented a truck with this motor for a week and still missing it. I might end buying it
The 3.3L is a great engine that will suit most people's needs! Got a question for you Boss! Does the 3.3L have both port and direct fuel injections or just direct injection only? Thanks!
You have to understand there's also timing components that have to have certain amount of oil flow and if you go too much it'll be restricted and if you go to little it won't work properly so they've tested this with specific motor oils and yes a big part of it is fuel mileage
3.3 L V6 is a very underrated engine. HP @290 is fine...just needs a bump up in torque to about 305 lbs/ft of torque as it can struggle a little in conditions that require a little more power. Mechanic friend of mine claims that the 3.3 V6 is actually a Mazda 3.3 v6 that Ford acquired the rights to back when Mazda and Ford had a partnership. Anyone know if that's true?
Assist pump for heater before tstat fully opens. The reverse flow (heads then block) with tstat on lower hose on several makes use a pump like that. Then you have hybrids with component and battery cooling that have them. Some are hidden and you'd never know it was on vehicle.
Is that a column shifter I see? I had a 2010 F150 4.6l 3v fx2 which has similar power to the 3.3 v6.👍 I wonder how much better mileage is on the 6. I'll have to google it. F150's IMO are the best looking trucks out there, inside and out and the most reliable.
Please show how to prevent thieves from twisting driver door lock. Remove lock? Jimmy Jammer kit? Install passenger side handle upside down on drivers side? Please help. This is a giant problem.
@@FordBossMe Some on the Jimmy Jammer kit. Some on flipping passenger handle. (It has no hole for the lock so when you remove the drivers lock there isn’t an empty hole) But every solution so far costs around $500. Kids are running around the neighborhoods wrecking Ford doors.

@@Terminxman I updated it to 224. It had 224 lb ft at 2200 rpm. My first source was off on torque but right on hp.
Not enough torque to be considered a decent truck so it will be wound up in the higher RPM's to get any work out of it.
@@Garth2011 Exactly, people like comparing apples to apples. The old trucks did have less HP, but the same or more torque at like 2000 RPM.

@@freedomisntfree_44 They need to drop an American version of the Aussie straight six Barra. I’d buy that crate engine.
What package is that or code to get a work truck with a console?
What are the pockets or bulges for in the intake tubes on the F150s? I have always wondered
Typically it's to reduce intake noise and to add to extra plenum volume
Nice truck!!!
Which automatic transmission is behind 3.3L V6?
10 speed
2018-20 6 speed
2021 and newer is a 10 speed.
nice
I like needing the key to start.
That's the one I'd buy!
What is the main reason for the oil be in 5W 20. Is it just for the gas mileage
You have to understand there's also timing components that have to have certain amount of oil flow and if you go too much it'll be restricted and if you go to little it won't work properly so they've tested this with specific motor oils and yes a big part of it is fuel mileage
These are nice
I recently replaced an engine in 2018 3.3l. Was a very easy job even without the means to recover the r1234yf.
Why did it need to get replaced? I own one that's why I'm curious 🤙
@@Estebizle had a hole in a piston
3.3 L V6 is a very underrated engine. HP @290 is fine...just needs a bump up in torque to about 305 lbs/ft of torque as it can struggle a little in conditions that require a little more power. Mechanic friend of mine claims that the 3.3 V6 is actually a Mazda 3.3 v6 that Ford acquired the rights to back when Mazda and Ford had a partnership. Anyone know if that's true?
I'd like to know what the gas mileage is expected to be.
@Saintsandsin With what you say, probably not.
Do the Ecoboost engines have an external water pump?
Assist pump for heater before tstat fully opens. The reverse flow (heads then block) with tstat on lower hose on several makes use a pump like that. Then you have hybrids with component and battery cooling that have them. Some are hidden and you'd never know it was on vehicle.
Yes
All the truck engine ecoboost do but not all the SUV vehicles!
Is the 5/20 oil just regular oil or synthetic ?
Semi Synthetic
Nice for an XL!
Is that a column shifter I see? I had a 2010 F150 4.6l 3v fx2 which has similar power to the 3.3 v6.👍 I wonder how much better mileage is on the 6. I'll have to google it. F150's IMO are the best looking trucks out there, inside and out and the most reliable.
Simple six. Far better than Chevy base four cylinder turbo.
I wishel ford put that engine in mid trim , I'm a v8 guy, but I actually like that 3.3
Please show how to prevent thieves from twisting driver door lock. Remove lock? Jimmy Jammer kit? Install passenger side handle upside down on drivers side? Please help. This is a giant problem.
No idea yet, any videos on it?
@@FordBossMe Some on the Jimmy Jammer kit. Some on flipping passenger handle. (It has no hole for the lock so when you remove the drivers lock there isn’t an empty hole) But every solution so far costs around $500. Kids are running around the neighborhoods wrecking Ford doors.
