Just got my XLT, with the 302a and 360 camera. Love it all. Also got the Co Pilot Assist 2. The ‘self driving’ feature is nuts! I did not know about the light switch in the bed, will have to check that out! I got the tailgate step as well, love that!
thanks for the video. I am getting tired of hearing so many new owners who just complain about all sorts of little things. but in fact, 99% of the "normal" owners are absolutely loving their trucks. BTW. you do not need to press the unlock on the fob. just walking up within 3-4 ft of the truck will turn on my welcome lights all around the truck. I don't have to do anything. and yes, a very useful thing. I got the 360 cameras for No Charge, as they are included in the Tow Technology Pkg. but yes, I am starting to like all the cameras and use them more than I thought I would.
@MUSIC OVER MY HAMMOND I thought the same... but then said what the hell..I'm spending this much already ... I'll get the full blown tech pack haha. So far it is honestly great. Surprises everyone
@@BoltsNBoost yeah, what the heck bust the bank and just do it haha. Glad you’re enjoying it, I know I love mine. Got it in rapid red, set out for antimatter blue but was not available on the lot. This rapid red has grown on me though, I’m really liking it!! Just put some leather seats in last week.
@MUSIC OVER MY HAMMOND beauty! Ant matter blue is beautiful. I built one on ford... 5minth wait time min. Luckily someone pulled their deposit on my Carbonized Gray. Love the color. Suppose to be new for 2021. But the f150 gray in prior years look similar.
I've got almost the same build you have. Love to drive it all the time. Almost nothing to complain about other then price. Would be nice to disable the honk when you close yhe door with the truck on. I mean I can hear it running when I get out lol.
I’m surprised you can see your bed view while driving. I’ve watched many videos where they said you couldn’t view the bed camera while driving saying that Ford said it was a safety issue. My XLT is being built the week of May 30. Looking forward to it.
Truck never had any engine issues, however, this truck locked up on the highway at 110km/hr and almost sent me off a mountain. The transmission failed.
I just picked up my 2022 F150 rapid red June 22 [ no entre Console though] .........front cam works as long as you are under 10Km/hr........I also have to ask if you got the new Trailer back up Pro wiring harness.
Have the same truck on order in a Lariat. Production has been delayed four times. Same color, wheels and V8. How is the cylinder deactivation? I hear if you drive in Sport or Tow/Haul it stays in all eight all the time.
When I ordered my 302A Powerboost they left off the adaptive cruise and lane centering. After 7 months of waiting, I went ahead and took it, but really wish I could have gotten it.
@@kevinrehbein7684 The dealer that gave me the best deal by far was 2 hours away. When I went to pick it up I noticed it was missing the "unleashed" stereo upgrade, adaptive cruise and the lane centering. They said "whoops, we must not have updated the order form." Being in the middle of COVID I took it. Our explorer has the adaptive cruise and I love it. We trade our cars every 4 years, so next time I will get it.
@@kevinrehbein7684 Yeah. My impression of the dealer was that they weren't making a whole lot on each vehicle so were trying to make up for it with volume selling over the internet. When I picked it up they were in a hurry to deliver it and get the paperwork signed. The sticker was $62k and I paid $54k out the door. This was during COVID, so I felt like it was a good deal considering our local dealer was hiking prices over MSRP.
Great video man, keep it up! I do want to say that I am in the market and looking for a truck and I'm just at a loss. So many people say that Ford trucks rust out because they are using different materials then previous years and are starting to rust within the first year of ownership. Also with all the electronics put into stuff like the shifter and things inside the truck, I've heard people having nightmare stories about stuff going out super early on. How do you feel this truck compares to something like a Toyota tundra. I've also heard so many people talk about how the tundras are so much more reliable than the f-150s in any other of the GM trucks on the market. Ram is in kind of its own little world but I find myself really looking at the tundra and the F-150. I want to hear from people who actually own these vehicles and don't have a brand bias.
Yeah its tough out there! I test drove all trucks the 5.0L specifically was my favorite by far. I got it undercoated with bees wax that will last 10yrs+ I recommend that forsure. Ford doesn't say it's an issue though. So far my truck has been great!!! Absolutely love it. Would do it all over again.
I just got the. 2022 XLT 302A and like you, really like it a lot. After ordering a Raptor in early October of 2021, I finally gave up getting it after Ford continued to delay the build. Fortunately, my dealer had just gotten the XLT in and was prepping it in the shop. When they told me it was a XLT, I told them it wouldn’t have enough on it to check all of my boxes. Was I wrong…….it’s got the FX4 and Sport Packages and is loaded out as much as a XLT can be. The only thing I added was aftermarket leather seats, a spray-in bed liner, and a tonneau cover. And the only two things we wished it had is power folding mirrors and a light for the vanity mirror on the passenger’s side. Ford has done a nice job in upgrading the XLT.
Hey there good lookin’! I got a 2022 XLT 302a fully loaded coming with the 5.0 engine. Also paid for the trailer tow mirrors to have the included convex mirror. Just wish Ford would put the 4A 4X4 and heated steering but mine will stay in the garage so it shouldn’t be too bad. I’m also in the Calgary area. How’s the tone of the engine? Another option I paid for haha
Oh wow I’ currently have a 2017 f150 5.0 with the 6 speed and I’ve had no issues. Currently have 63,000 miles on it. But I was looking to getting a 2023 XLT 5.0 but the transmission issues I’ve seen people have is holding me back.
@@DennisBarrera yeah...it was pretty extreme in my case. I got a 2023 Tremor with the 3.5 TT... and the truck is WAY better in the transmission department for whatever reason. Right from inception.
@@BoltsNBoost that’s good to hear. I wonder if it was just the 5.0 with the 10 speed that had issues. I test drove one yesterday and it felt smooth. But of course it should it’s new lol. But my biggest fear is giving up this truck for a 10 speed then have issues.
@DennisBarrera yeah alot have been speculating the 5.0 with the 10speed is what causes the issues.. maybe the instant torque and weight? Mustangs don't seem to have the issues at least that drastic.
Leather is over rated in my opinion. They get too hot in the summer and cold in winter (unless you let your truck heat up). They get "clammy" on longer road trips too. The fabric on the F150's is pretty nice. Looks like you didn't get the tailgate step, by choice? Its pretty handy but you have to buy the $695 bed utility package 🙄
The 5 L V-8 is not a good engine. The V6 TwinTurbo eco-boost is the better engine because it’s better on fuel and it has more torque which is quicker. I have on both F1 50s and tried both engines.
Funny you say that, just watched car and driver and they gave the win to the f150... stated the dodge was outdated ! Rolls Royce quality? Rolling on floor laughing.
@@BoltsNBoost Really?! I mean I did see all your eco behavior at 99% so that would explain it! My acceleration behavior is at 68% and im getting 16.9L/100KM . Heavy foot lol. Love the power in the 5.0 haha
I just got my XLT FX4 Sport trim and i Love it. Took me 61 years to get such a high class truck.
Awesome! Congrats man!
no joke lol they are so expensive but worth it
@@Wade...a couple weeks after posting this, I got into a accident and totaled my truck. I only had for 2 weeks.
@@mikecampingforfun5226 awe man!! What did you end up getting after that?
Love my 21 lariat eco. Digital dash, dual moon roof and heated rear seats. These trucks keep getting better and better!
Thanks for the video - I love my 360 camera system and use it all of the time. It's great for parking a larger vehicle!
Just got my XLT, with the 302a and 360 camera. Love it all. Also got the Co Pilot Assist 2. The ‘self driving’ feature is nuts! I did not know about the light switch in the bed, will have to check that out! I got the tailgate step as well, love that!
Wicked, congrats!
Amazing how this truck can do well for a family and do well as an XL work truck without bells and whistles I don't need to spend money on.
Enjoy the 302A package! Thanks for the walk thru!
Thanks man!
Really happy for you and no nothing about your features are quirky. Safety is never quirky. Stay safe. F.O.R.D. (Found On Road Dominating)
Thanks! Haha
Also the dealer said ford is waiting for parts so u can buy the center console flip /flat work space for like $110 once available
Install your oil catch can if u haven’t already, I just picked up my 2022 302 a and my catch can is in route, I love this truck already!
I was thinking of doing that too. Will it not mess with warranty 100%?
Never had one. 21 and up have no need.
I have the powerboost 302a, didn't know about the front camera spray.

Yeah the sport wheels look nice!
@@BoltsNBoost how’s this truck treated you??? My 2.7 skips 2nd gear.
@alexanderalexander1053 mine locked up at 120km on highway ...almost skidded off mountain!
@@BoltsNBoost I saw your video about it !!! Ugh, Ford needs to improve quality. Glad you weren’t hurt !

Yesh some friends of mine said the same, showed them the proof tho! Congrats!
Beautiful truck! Curious is it reliable? Noticed the check engine light on but could be because there car wasn’t on

You don't even notice it to be honest. There are ways around it tho. But I just keep it stock and everything working for now.
Awesome truck, video and channel man. I’m a new subscriber. 👊🏼
Wow! Thank you for the kind words! Appreciate you!
When I ordered my 302A Powerboost they left off the adaptive cruise and lane centering. After 7 months of waiting, I went ahead and took it, but really wish I could have gotten it.
So they just told you "sorry not building your truck with it"? That would suck. Adaptive cruise is very nice on road trips.

How many miles do you have on it so far? I have 3000 loving it so far
1300ish. Loving mine so far too!
I love my xlt 2.7 ecobeast 502 A
I like all the tech. But that folding shifter. NO. Can do imagine the electric motor failing in the down position?
Very utollitarian
I wish i would have gotten the 5.0 or the powerboost. I have the 3.5 liter (which is great, and powerful for sure, and has had no issues so far)
No regrets on the 5.0 so far.. at all. Love it.
I don’t love the 74k that my local dealer wants for it…..
Yeah prices are only going to get worse in the near future anyway.
Forget the wife: I need the 360 camera option, lol!
Hahaha
Gravity is real!!!!
9.81m/s^2
I have the 3.5 and man
Man.....no 7.2kw panel?
No sir! Let me get my first truck and enjoy it! Haha
What is up with the quality
Hmm , of the video? Not quite sure. Looks fine on my end

Hey! Correct. I didn't. Not sure I'd use it much. Especially for $700.

You are sadly mistaken...its a 4k option from Ford to add in the 5L into your truck....don't be silly.
NOBODY has better interior than ram cmon. AND for 25 its off the charts. Rolls royce quality
