Still 20k way too expensive for most of us out here fellas
Great video! I have a 21 with the Coyote, 3.73 gears, and a Borla S-Type, and it rips. The most fun truck to drive I have ever owned.
I bet that gear and that exhaust are awesome.
@@TexasTruckChannelshoot the 331 geared 5.0 is still nasty
@@brandonmacon3317 sad thing is that with the extra queen in the cab it is a 1/2 sec slower yet, it takes a lot of power to move the extra body apparently 😖
12s yet?
3.55 is where is at bbg
Recently purchased the 2024 Ford F150 STX off road 5.0 10 speed super crew with 5.5 bed and tow pack and LED lights after owning a long line of Ford, Dodge and Chevy/GMC trucks. I am ecstatic about this truck I paid 46000 for here in North Dallas. Great performance, looks value. Ford is my go to vehicle and I recommend it as the best and safest daily driver. Shop around and hold out for the best deal and remember you aren’t going to buy grandpa’s truck at his cost any more.
We got the 2023 XLT FTX Fx4.
Very impressed and pleased with it. Lots of power. 5.0 Same Area 51 paint job too.
Nice truck
I have a 22’ XLT fx4 with the coyote. For the very reason you guys mentioned..they won’t be around much longer. It’s the perfect vehicle for our family. My wife wants one of her own now.
$60k is wwwwaaayyyy overpriced and out of reach for most trades people who actually need trucks. These car companies have lost their damn minds.
You can get TLX under invoice 3% to 4% just do your home work .
these people paying for them and the people advertising them are just helping the market continue to be more and more out of reach.
You need a better job
@@scottspradlin620 what do you suggest?
My neighbor just bought an XLT 5.0 listing at 64k for 56k. Still to much.
Auto dealer for thirty years.
Sold and drove thousands of trucks. I honestly believe my Ford F150 with the 2.7 engine, is the best truck I have ever owned.
I’m completely sold on the 2.7 EB. I don’t have the patience for a V8.
Yeah I keep hearing how the EcoBoosts are unpredictable, unreliable, etc etc but I just hit 105k miles on my 2016 2.7. I bought it used with 51k miles for $29.5k and when I first got it I drove it like a maniac teenager.
No major issues thus far, just a temperature sensor ($54) and a hard transmission shifting issue (about $300)
I have a catch can on it, cold air intake, Eibach front shocks and Rancho rear shocks. I change the oil on it every 3-4k miles. I throw it on the occasional trail on the side if the road here and there.
Im lucky i havent had any major issues w how careless I was w it at first.
The power is more than enough, when I'm hauling and helped folks move, you dont feel like youre hauling/towing thousands of pounds. I helped my brother move twice, my gf move twice, i helped her dad move twice, i never felt the truck struggle w anything.
@@patrickr9372patience?? 🧐
@@arizonacolour8793 patience, as in the 5.0 not having good torque off the line till 4200 rpm
I guess turbos don't have to spool up or anything.🤤
5.0 Loaded Lariat with blackout package, vented seats, dual exhaust and 3:73 gears, winner winner chicken dinner 😁😁
Looking at buying one this week would you say for this exact trim that 60k otd is a good price? Msrp is 77k they took 17k off and I’m still questioning spending that much on a truck.
I ordered the 23 F150 Tremor with the 5.0 last year, so I have the 3:73. I also have the Torsen, 360 camera, gun safe, under seat storage, a bed mat, and not a lot else that wasn't standard on the Tremor. I like that gauge cluster, which is what I have on the 401a, and I like the stock Tremor seats. I wound up paying almost sticker at 68k, but I've been happier than not so far. I'm averaging about 20 mpg over the last 8-9k miles but that includes a lot of interstate head- and cross-wind driving in west Texas, local driving in NM, and mountain 2-lane driving in CO. This last tank registered 21.4 and calculated 20.9. I had one tank on a CO trip to Denver that was around 23 if I recall correctly. I was going to supercharge it right after I bought it, but the mpg, the fact the local parts folks seemed kinda clueless, and fact it already ran pretty darn good has given me pause. Maybe if I win the lottery tonight, I will buy another one and do that lol. Peace, Love!!
I have a 2018 Sport and absolutely love it. I just did a 222 mile trip to spend the 4th with my #2son and used 9.45 gallons!
Really glad I found this channel. Love the TFL boys, but all that mile above sea level and snow content doesn't do anything for us down south.
I was always a GM guy, LS for life.
But after getting a '23 F150 Tremor 5.0 and my brother getting a '20 Raptor, I'm pretty well convinced that Ford makes the superior half ton truck in basically every way.
Im a GM guy as well and i just bought a 2023 XLT f 150
Before the DOD crap the LS is a better engine! I would still take an older LS on a project build over a brand new 5.0 any day of the week.
Great review and great vehicle. I wish Ford would put this engine in their Expeditions.
Agreed 100% brother, getting tired of these stupid EcoBoost engines, a Coyote powered Expedition would've been awesome. Also I wish they would've put the 5.0L Coyote V8 in the new Bronco as well.
Too bad that the Bronco is based on the Ranger. 1/4 ton trucks don't get v8s anymore
Awesome video. I have 2021 XLT 5.0 and LOVE that engine. Only complaint I have is the 10r80 transmission whine noise. But I’ll just have to get over it. Truck is great otherwise.
Picking up our low mi. ‘23 RCLB XLT 5.0 Fx4 w/3.73 and some nice goodies in a few days. Let’s goooo.
not a fan of the move since 2021 to cylinder deactivation... but, from what I hear, at least you can disable it by using a mode like tow/haul...
The five oh has the wet oil belt now…
I have chrome on my ‘22 f150 xlt 302A package and it doesn’t look bad with the dark gray color! I didn’t really want chrome but it doesn’t look bad! I put 2 1/2 level on it with 20x10 -24 offset Moto metal 970 wheels
Just purchased the 2024 XLT FX4 V-8 5.0 302A Package in an Antimatter Blue Metallic and I really like it. Traded my 2016 Toyota Tundra. Thanks for the video guys!
Nooooo u let the Tudra go with the V8? Must have had a lot of miles right???
The Toyota tundra is a great truck.
I had to argue with the dealer to order my F-350 Platinum without the pano roof. he thought i was crazy but he was 5'6" and im 6'4.
You get it! Drives me nuts at the same height.
They usually leak also
I've been considering ordering an XLT regular cab with 5.0L as the new ones supposedly all come with the big screen now! Dude you kinda remind me of Roger Clemens haha!
Love the video! I just purchased this f150 2023. Mine is also area 51 sport, I have 360 camera, spray in bed Iiner. I absolutely love my truck! Sold my 2014 f150 xlt, this is a nice upgrade.
Nice video. Still love our 2015 XLT with the 5.0L V8. My 6 speed is fine, and I like the towing mirrors we have. Nice to see my truck is essentially still being built. Thanks for that Ford! Two thoughts… the speakers are awful so plan to upgrade with help from Crutchfield. Also watch for early problems with the front brakes. For some reason our factory rotors needed turning in 35K miles, but no problems after installing Duralast Gold brake pads from AutoZone.
My 14 gen 2.7 XLT just got new EIBACH coilovers (unlifted) and with the 400 ft pounds of low end torque its a damn fun truck to drive.
Wish ford would wake up and offer this package on the regular cabs
No kidding!
There’s simply no demand . Regular cabs that are not fleet xl trucks make up such a small percentage of sales.
There is demand. There's less profit.
Maverick hybrid is my first Ford and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it. Might trade my Silverado in for a F150 similar to this
😂 worst move of your life.
Get your butt in the seat and give it a try! Silverado is a great truck as well, but the coyote has a lot of personality that others are lacking.
@@wint_62I have a 23 with the 5.3 and I’ve had it towed 3 times now in less then a year of ownership. Mostly injector failure. Love the truck but I’m definitely glad I got the 6 year extended warranty.
Maverick hybrid is my first Ford and first truck been really happy with it. Looking at the new ranger but that V8 sounds awesome
@@wint_62 nah I married a Puerto Rican
Ford F-150 STX 5.0 with Sport appearance is the best value saving you over +$7,500 over an XLT. The XLT options aren't worth the price difference and the STX looks so much better. STX deletes all the chrome except the wheels, even the headlights are smoked.
Only thing the stx has is the best grill. You can get XLT without chrome... Like in the video. If you add all the options that an XLT Fx4 has you might as well get an XLT Fx4
Personally, I think the chrome grill on the XLT looks sharp✨️
That’s why I have to go with XLT over the STX. I’m willing to pay more for the truck so I can have all the chrome. If ford offered the STX with the chrome package I could go that route but I don’t ever see that happening.
Just landed a new ‘23 STX 5.0 for $42,500 @ 1.9% APR and felt like I robbed the place.
Took some serious convincing with the wife, but once she realized you don’t get that financing for that much truck in 2024, she was on board. Pumped.
Did something similar in 2016. I bought a new XLT crew cab with the “Sport” package in 4x4 with the Coyote, center console shifter, premium audio, towing pkg, etc.
Sticker was just a hair under 50K and I left the dealer at $38K. The 0% for 5 years was nice too. Enjoy your truck, and enjoy some mods too. They wake up nicely with a few bolt ons ;)
That’s a $48k truck max. Still want that exact model, but not for $60k. Never. I’ll drive my 21 Tundra until the second coming before I pay $60k for an XLT… that’s platinum price.
Once I was able to tow with a Diesel which is turbo. Then my company gave me a 3.5 for another run delivery machinary up to North Carolina. I wanted a boosted engine for towing our Travel Trailer. I loved my Mustang GT 5.0 and a fan of the F150 Cayote 5.0 and Ram 5.7. I have used all these trucks. But I can only have one. So I choose Ecoboost ; I trade my truck every 3 yrs anyway. But boost simply cannot replicate that sound / feel you get in a 5.0. 🏁 Oh the those hooks at the on each side of the tail gate are cargo strap holders and can pop the bottle top as well.
F-150 awesome truck 😊 thanks for this video
You bet. Thanks for watching.
cylinder deactivation is disabled in sport mode
Love my f150 xlt 5.0, hoping next generation gets independent suspension all around like the lightening. That's the only way I'll trade in for a new one.
Love it! However…. 60,000 no leather and no bed liner ? Come on Ford….
i really like my new 23' xlt 3.5 traded in are 22' 5.7 for the 3.5 and The 3.5 with a 10 speed is the easiest to drive truck i have ever driven. The wife actually wants to drive it because she drove it home and loved it. she has a 22' Rubicon and likes the f150 better
How much money do you make in order to afford these new vehicles with ease? Do you buy with cash or do you go to the bank to borrow money?
$60K for a pickup is ridiculously expensive
I saw a video a year ago or so I saw an interview with 7 Ford mechanics and all chose the V8 as the engine to get. The 5.0 would be my choice.
Absolutely
It’s the only one I’d buy..
Based on what criteria?
@@publius9606 based on the fact that if they all agreed they would get a free, pizza coupon from little ceasers
I just found a 2023 at a local dealer in this same trim for $41k before taxes/fees with 17k miles
Don’t forget that 1,000 mile break-in period, boys! Great vid and love my ‘23 5.0 with 6.5 bed. What’s the Ford-approved thing you suggested for a horsepower boost? My aging ears heard “wipple.” lol
Your aging ears are better than ours I am sure. We are referring to the Whipple or Roush supercharger kits. Thanks for watching.
I drive a 2024 F 350 and at 430/485 with ten speed it flies. My 2016 was a horrible dog. I don’t know what the 0-60 is but I’ll bet it’s below 7 seconds. Ford figured it out for sure.
As much as I love a V8, if I was getting a Ford, I would be very tempted to get the Powerboost.
Hard to argue with you. The generator functionality is awesome on powerboost.
I test drove the 5.0 and ended up buying a 3.5 because of the deal. But the 5.0 was awesome if not better feeling than the 3.5 5.0 ripps
I saw rust under that baby when he was showing the fender liner area.
Im a huge v8 fan! But with that being said i have a Raptor with the 3.5 now and the torque at low rpm is unbeatable! Especially at higher elevation! I can tow 8k up a 6% grade at 65 and it will just hold 3k rpm. Any NA v8 would be at 4500 plus all the time.
Good review , I’d like to correct a few errors, that Coyote is a 4th generation,not a third . Third gens we’re 18-20 and had 395 hp and a real oil pump. 4th gens have 400 hp ,and a rubber oil pump belt that’s designed to fail, and your statement about it being perfect is wrong because other Fords with rubber oil pump belts that ride in the motor oil have been failing earlier than ford designed them too and taking out the engines when they fail,so it’s not perfect . It does sound amazing, and it definitely rips .Ford is pushing the Roush blower not the whipple , the whipple is better imo but That warranty would be different.
You have no idea what you are talking about
Just bought a loaded XLT Haritage in Area 51 and Agate Black that was $74K from the factory in 2023 (Not Special Ordered). 5.0 with the 3.73!
Great review and show 😊 ! I own a 2016 F150 with a 5.0 V8 motor and boy she boogies . 😊
Great video! I’ve got a 21 XLT with the 5.0L Coyote. I do prefer a few more options along with the 302A high equipment group, Ford Co-Pilot 360 Assist, tow technology package, and the FX4 package. I was adamant on finding one with the 5.0 and it absolutely rips. Amazing truck and fun to drive!
The STX with a Coyote is the best value. Want proof ??......I just bought a NEW 2024 STX with a 5.0 4x4 Supercrew for $44k. On Dec 16th this year I paid that. Dealer even gave me $600 off a new set of BFG KO2's and they mounted them on that truck's 20" wheels. They also tossed in running boards which do not come on an STX. Work the deal guys....work the deal. Oh...and I did not get hosed on financing. I paid cash !!
THAT is about as good as it gets in trucks.
I have this same truck but its a 22 so no auto start/stop... woo hooo!! Mine is also an 3.5 ecobeast.... I love it!
Great truck!! Enjoy it.
Dude the Tundra not even having bumpers is a legit issue to me lol, main reason that I get turned off of them. Sounds weird but they're like cars
Sticking with the 3.5, more power and most importantly that power is without any high revving drama. I already owned sports cars in my time and don't want to high rev a truck.
I have a 2023 Tremor 401A with the Coyote. If you think this sounds good (and it does), you ought to hear the dual catback😁 And I am pretty sure they are both Gen 4 Coyotes.
23 is a good year to buy a f150 I just got a xlt 3.5
Corsa sport sounds amazing on a 5.0 2022 also
Bro these new are about 70/75K CAD! Prices are insane
This like a review two high school kids would produce
Ah thanks. That makes us feel young. Thanks for watching.
2020 Tundra with v8 maxcab,cost 40,000 new! All trucks need v8's,glad to see Ford is still building them with v8's,if I total my Tundra will buy Ford!
Agreed 100% brother
The Ford drives night and day better than the Tundra. I have a 17 Tundra and had a very similar truck to this as a rental not long ago. I'm itching to trade!
Laughing at how they praise the exhaust note. Every other manufacturer puts dual exhaust on V-8
First upgrade on mine was a set of Borlas
Yes it is comical how they praise the “sound” of a quiet muffler with a resonator on it😝
5.0 all the way nice truck
How did you wind up with E85? I just bought the 2024 XLT, V8, but it's not E85.
Not sure. It’s just how this tester was equipped.
V8 is must
Fact!
Was the acceleration to 60 in 4HI or 2wheel ??
I own 22 302 sport with 5.0 mmmmmm it’s good
I believe you two gentlemen are the best at what you do. I appreciate you.❤
Thanks!
I think it’s about all they CAN do…😖
I sure luve mine with the girls attack exhaust uff music to my ears
I just bought almost the same truck, mine has the 20” and 360 camera. Good review, I’ve had the 2.7,3.5 and now this will be my first 5.0.
I bought the 5.0 just because I figure the will be killing it off like the rest of the trucks
I want one when I move to Texas from Ontario
Good review. A question. I've been going round and round about getting either the Platinum, Tremor or Raptor. The Platinum it's those luxury all leather seats that I love. Wish I could plop those down into the Raptor with those springs instead of leaf suspension, to maximize smooth and comfort of long highway drives. In any case, can you tell me, other than the purchase cost issue, taking money out of the equation, what advantages if any might a fully loaded XLT offer over the fully loaded Platinum? Any functionality differences, other? Thanks.
I have a Lariat FX4. I found the FX4 package with upgraded suspension to be smoother on the streets than the 4x4.
What do you mean, than the 4x4? Do you mean compared to the Raptor, or something else? And what upgrades to the suspension specifically do you refer to? Thanks.@@todd7706
Over the plat? No. Each trim level comes with everything the level beneath has, AND more. So at the end of the day a tremor or a plat will always have more functionality than an xlt. Have you considered the tremor 401A package? Basically an xlt version of the tremor. Comes with cloth and such
What color is that ford f-150?
Awesome brother, gotta love the 5.0L Coyote V8 in the F150. I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 160,000 miles on it and still going strong and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it as well.
Right on! I also had a 2011 Coyote Lariat with a Gibson axle back. Hell of a truck.
@TexasTruckChannel Awesome brother.
2011 f150 with the 5.0 same times . Coyote engines are my favorite beside the 6.2
2011 was the first year with the 5.0 in the F-150 some has issues with knocking they installed Belt Tensioner on some .
That is 4 th gen coyote
Yes it is, verbal typo on our end 😂
It’s kinda confusing, since the new ‘24 Mustang has the new gen 4 dual throttle body coyote, and the 21+ trucks have the gen 4 truck version (single throttle body) of the coyote. I’ve tried to confirm online, but haven’t found the definitive answer.
@@elbros5325 I know in trucks the first gen was from 2010(I think) to ‘14
Gen 2 ‘15-‘17
Gen 3 ‘18-‘20
Gen 4 ‘21-….
On new 2023 F150s still in good supply, rebates are as high as $11,000. If you want a 2024, wait until fall when rebates are at its highest.
WOW! $60K. They are practically giving them away! Not many people I know could afford this "Poor Boy" model. I can't.
Nice I like this package and I like the sport package and it has to be 5.0
Cook Ford Galveston Tx best deal going. You won't beat his prices.
When you take the truck back, ask the dealer why Ford has built 2024s but not shipped a single truck to any dealer in America?
They are hitting lots around us in a week or two.
Cause they are still full of overpriced unsold 2023 models
@@TexasTruckChannel still not here…
@@dustincollins16 unsold 2023 trucks have nothing to do with it. Ford continued to make the 2023 model even past the middle of Dec.
@@filup7419 those are unsold also so I fail to see your point.
Basic truck. Only way to go.
Amazing, I want one!
It’s a great lifestyle truck too 😬
My wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited has the capless filler neck too, FYI, since Stellantis wasn't mentioned.
Oh of course. How could we forget. Thanks 👍
Funny… everyone I know gets that “really hard shift” on low speed decel. Lol
i want to buy ford f 150 model 2024 we have tow engine V8 5.0letter and v6 3.5 letter i need your advice pleas iam in saudi
Payload?
What’s so bad about the ecoboosts I’ve never owned one but I have had this motor and it’s runs like a beast! I know the ecoboosts have had a lot of problems I have drove a ranger with the 2.3L inline 4 twin scroll and couldn’t believe how quick it was for a 4 cylinder
Oh there is nothing wrong with Ecoboost units. They all rip! Especially the 3.5. We just appreciate the traditional V8 in a world of turbos.
The problem with the EcoBoost engines is one they're a headache when they break, two they cost a fortune to replace turbos as well as exhaust manifolds and of course Camfasers, and three they lack soul and character of a V8 as well and not to mention that they aren't very reliable at all (especially when you compare to the legendary 4.6L SOHC 2V Modular V8 in the Ford Panther Platform (Ford Crownvic, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car)).
@@CJColvin you sound as though you believe the internet chatter about those engines, congrats. The v8 has a lot of those issues as well
@paulhunter9613 Well if the EcoBoost is so good then howcome Ford used the 6.8L and 7.3L Godzilla V8s in the Super Duty as a base gas engine and not the 3.5L EcoBoost V6?
@@CJColvin well the ecoboost is a very good engine.
How come ford never used the 5.0 in the super duty as a base engine, just in cars and f150’s?
Still way too expensive
Beautiful awesome truck !!
The 5.0 or 302 has been around for decades. The simple tech of naturally asperated engines, durability, and available mods on a proven winner makes it an easy choice for me. If boost is your thing. Boosting this 5.0 is very easy and gives insane results that any v6 falls short of. New tech is good after the kinks are worked out, but matching new tech with a proven 60 year old champ is the smartest thing any company can do. The older blower, cam, intake, and other mods have consistently made the 302 a monster for hp and torque. It is so hard to beat a good old V8. True American muscle should never become a thing of the past. Adding the right tech to these jewels makes them unbeatable all around. I say bring back the 428,429, 460, and 540 for the super duty and apply this tech to them. Just for fun bring back the 390 and 400 for outrageous 1/2 tone trucks.
It’s actually a 307 now!
Yep, it’s a 307 now. ^^^
2:27 bro just let’s the window sticker roll around in the dirt
The dude is a clown..
Seriously? 90% of the review is about cosmetics? Truck review and your talking about bumper color and decals? A waste of time watching this.
Man I’m sorry to hear that. Mind sharing your ideal truck review format?
Have not seen a 2024 with midgate review yet.
Here you are: ruclips.net/video/HvvzAnvJqew/видео.htmlsi=f1GY2S1SorWq9ilf
Don’t want a office computer stuffed in the dash
I agree well overpriced, but next option is to get one that is ford certified!! You can save 20+ grand right out of the gate. Just got to look people.
Great video, too.
Is that the Nissan GTR motor?
Nope!
Ive owned 2 F150s and mustang with the coyote. Also have a maverick now. As an automative engineer Ive worked on all 4 vehicles. However, the trucks are unaffordable now and I will never buy a Ford again. Going to older Toyota Tundras now. Ford raised their prices 50% and is just getting to lower them 10%. No thanks. Saying bye to my Ford family.
They ALL raised prices! Bidenomics!!
What about A/C in seats and 373 gears also 4x4 cost!
A/C seats are not standard in XLTs, neither are heated seats. Both are respective packages that can be added from the factory or aftermarket. (Aftermarket a/c seats suck tho) 4x4 is standard and 373 is additional option from the factory
Since when is that truck affordable? Click bait…
Midsized trucks are $55k now.
@@Jacob99174 Sorry dude… There are so many good used trucks out there. Some need fixing up. But, IT’S WORTH IT!😎
Payments or parts, pick your poison
@@willkeating461 I maintain several old vehicles for WAY LESS than what people are paying monthly to own an overpriced POS.😉
I know somebody high up in the automotive industry. He didn't give me numbers, but he said "just know that trucks are very very profitable for the manufacture".
I just got a 2024 STX 4x4 supercrew in Texas for under 40k. The XLT is just too expensive for what you are actually getting.
XLT’s are out of reach for most of now. It’s August 2024 and Ford still has a massive inventory of 2023’s which should tell you something
Okay, bad cam-phazers? Too bad! Cylinder deactivation, FAIL #2! OVER-PRICED for junk!
The 302 rips!
How about an xl base that’s even more affordable
I’ll wait till it’s about 4 years old. $60k I can’t afford.
You can’t run laptops on those power supplies, they are not true sine wave
Don’t care 0-60 do care about towing.
These companies are trying make it seem like 60k is the new norm. Good like trying to sell them.
85k for a maxed xlt in Canada right now. Too rich for me. Wife’s Hyundai kona was 30k. Doesn’t seem right.
