Sorry, don’t have the truck anymore. So can’t look. Cheers

@@thecraighouse9246 thanks - for your response

Unfortunately I can’t. Almost a year ago Someone made me an offer I could say no to. It had 27,000 km on it and the only real issue what the vacuum leak on the 4WD. This issue has been present in all my F150. I did post a video about selling it, what I have in place of and the wife’s new vehicle. Again I have been almost non existing in shooting any reviews. Nothing planned till closer to summer. A mate just bought a fantastic little toy and I want footage. Cheers

Maybe it was a fleet model with out sync3. I do know if you don’t get the tow package you get an old school green crt looking display in the dash.

Is your truck the xl model? I think it has to do with the trim level

My life average was 16L/100km. This was 3/4 city driving. Doing just highway you’re looking at 10L/100km at 100kph. Not sure what this converts to in imperial but Google can tell you.

Do you have the green screen in between? Do you have back up assist pro? The green is what comes with a lower end truck otherwise I think it’s called a productivity display.

@@thecraighouse9246 no mine has the productivity screen and no tow stuff, but I am adding a brake controller to it on my own.

I’m at 16,600km and I’m averaging 14.5 l/100km. That is at 90% town, doing 5 minute drives.

How is the 3.3 a throwaway engine? What are you basing that on?

What are you even saying? Could you elaborate

@@preshj0hnson probably watched too many scotty kilmer videos or something. I drove a 5.0, and yes it's powerful, but doesn't make sense to group the 3.3 with the ecoboost models when it's not one.

@@KF1 What’s your opinion on the 3.3? I’m lookin at a 19 XLT an it has the 3.3 I don’t really see to much about it. Truck has 30k on the odometer & they want $37k. Fully loaded

@@preshj0hnson From everything I researched it's a fully competent engine. Considered buying one but got a Silverado with the 4.8L instead. The Ford 6 speed paired to the 3.3L has less sensor issues than their 10 speed, which would be the real reason to choose it over the 5.0L That's about all I know. As you mentioned there's very little info available. Maybe no news is good news? For $37k near new and fully loaded, I would bring it to a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection. Cost a bit of money, but my mechanic inspected at a few trucks for me, and I felt it was worth it. My particular Silverado 4.8L was what he recommended after fine-combing them all. It's been great. My buddy was stuck and it pulled a 35 foot trailer out of the mud when his old F250 was having 4x4 issues.

It is tough to find a 3.3 up here. When dealers get them in they sell first but they don’t get as many as other engines. Ford pushes the 2.7 hard. XLT is pretty much the lowest trim you’ll find here. So no I did not custom order. Just need to be patient.

I looked up the X2, you should be good. The tent over the tonneau is barely visible. Doesn’t hinder the fit and gives me a shelf inside. Cheers

Let us know how it goes. I, too, and close to buying a 3.3L. Interested in hearing your impressions if you get one.

If you’re going to do any towing make sure you get the factory tow package. It will be prewied for the 7 pin and give you the better instrument cluster screen. Otherwise the base looks like an 80’s green crt.

It’s nothing like the 5.0L. 0-60mph with a tank is probably around 8-9 seconds, being close to the 9. Remember it’s an automatic pick up truck. If I want something sportier then I take a different vehicle. Most speed limits are are 50kph, so there is no use for something faster. It hauls stuff, back seats are big enough to keep the children apart and tows a small trailer perfectly. I know that’s not what you want to hear.😀

Did you mean the 3.5? The 2.7 has always had a higher tow rating than the 3.3L. That said the 3.3 is rated to 7000lbs, ish. But 3500 is where it’s happy for everyday. Cheers

First is, how much are you really going to tow? I know the 3.3 is rated at something like 7800lbs but you wouldn’t want to do that every day. If your under 5000lbs then yes. If you don’t tow at all then yes. Remember it’s an automatic pick up truck not a sports car so who cares how quick it is or how it handles.

I bought a "new" 2018 in march of 2019 with the 3.3L. Just over 27,000 problem free kilometres, and lovin it. I selected this engine for the simplicity, proven 6 speed transmission and turbo free. Hope to keep it for years.

No problem. If you want to see something specific to help make your decision, let me know.

Was curious how well it would pull my 26' TT no slides

@@63Imp283 pulled my 34foot camper with 2 slides from Ohio to Wilmington North Carolina just fine. No complaints.. I have the 3.3 with the 373 rear end

Question. I have this EXACT same truck and I wanted to put a 3 inch lift and a little larger tire of a tire size. Would that be okay?

K G I try to. Somethings I can’t do. If it would take me more than a day or two. I take it somewhere, can’t have daily drivers down for too long, wife wouldnt be to happy. As for this truck, I haven’t had to do anything yet. Everything you mention is easily accessible.

@@thecraighouse9246 Yeah that makes sense, I actually ended up buying the 2020 3.3L and it seems easy to work on. Question though, does your engine make the same noise as mine that I posted in this video? It's like a rapid "typewriter" type ticking coming from what seems like the upper drier side bench. Thanks man! www.reddit.com/r/Ford/comments/hbkpx6/anyone_elses_truck_making_that_ticking_sound_2020/

Just checked mine. It ticked for about 5 seconds then stopped and settled down. How cold was it when you took the video? Check your oil level first.

@@thecraighouse9246 It was only around 20 Celsius here, and oil levels are good as well. Apparently the Ford Techs said it's normal, and that it's the high pressure fuel pump making the sound, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't skeptical.

Darrick Lee other than our road trip vacations my normal driving is all town. I have another Ford with a 2.0t ecoboost motor and it is also driven 100% town and its mileage is terrible. The 2 vehicles get the same mileage. Ecoboost motors are good with fuel in theory but not in practice. When you drive all stop/go your always on boost. Fords answer to keep the head from blowing is to add more fuel. Cheers

I just purchased 2018 with 3.3l also , wasn’t sure if I should have gone with eco boost but no regrets it’s a nice truck

When we go camping I’m pulling about 2500lbs and at least 500lbs in the bed. I averaged around 12.7L/100km for 4000km. The 5.0 V8 I had with 3.31 rear end did the same. Only unloaded will you see the 3.3L beat the others in mileage. If it’s only a couple of times a year, go for it. If it’s every day, look at the V8. Cheers

UncleSarkis I know, things have been crazy, work, family. With winter it’s dark at 4pm here, not very good for filming. Anything particulate you would like to see? I was going to try to find some time this weekend. Cheers.

@@thecraighouse9246 that's a great question. Ideas are almost as hard as actually making the videos 😂. What you have learned about the truck with preferences, what would have made it better, what you can't live without now with having. Maintenance issues or maintenance related things you have learned about it. Are there technologically advanced systems making it impossible to work on when there are issues. Fit and finish issues? Can you see any obvious corner cutting? The one I was looking at just went up 2k dollars so I'm going to wait it out, but in terms of fuel economy and reliability I think 3.3 is the one for me. It's a shame they're not as common. Most people by their 5.0s for their daily commute and never tow anything anyway.

Did you do it? Haha I’m looking for more power out of mine

Did you do it?!

From my understanding they have corrected that issue for the 3.3.

Only transverse cylcone motors have internal water pumps. If you rock RWD in a mustang or F150, you are good to go.

To my understanding, it doesn't concern the F150 since the water pump on our engines isn't internal like the Edge and Explorer.

I wanna buy f150 (2019-2020) for long time and which engine is more reliable 3.3 natural aspirated or 2.7 ecoboost. for everyday driving?

@@alexk163 I would recommend the 3.3 it's not a turbo and is very reliable, its also port and direct injection so no worry about carbon build up. 2.7 is more powerful but the 3.3 is tried and true.

@@TommyG11814 THANKS :*

Actually the 2.7 has been around longer and is tried and true. But there’s certainly nothing wrong with the 3.3. The up side is less overall cost to own.

AgentPepsi1 I am going in for my first service on the 27. I am at 9000km and my live average is 13.2L/100km. I can get 9L/100km on the highway if I stay below 105kph. The 3.3 has been good. It doesn't handle like a car and it's not the fastest, it's a truck. And apple CarPlay has been great. Only thing I would like are more tie down points in the bed. I need to order the bed links to see if they will do. One recall at the moment for a seat. We'll see what they find out at service. Cheers

@@thecraighouse9246 Thank you. I recalculated these for miles / gallons and the mileage is very good... better than what we get now. We live in very rural Texas, and really want something that is reliable, comfortable, and relatively fuel efficient. Yet, we also need a truck. Not so much to tow anything, but to haul normal household things around (lawn mower, lumber from Home Depot, etc). Merry Christmas :)

@K Y On my window sticker under options it says 3.55 ratio regular axle. I was hoping it's limited slip since it has the full towing package like my old truck was. The guys at work says they are all limited slip today but mine doesn't say that, I think it's open axle.

@K Y czcams.com/video/qDwcWqLWiig/video.html

I’m considering a brand new ‘19, same exact configuration , XLT, 3.3l, super crew, for $26,499 right now....seems like an incredible deal

@@ecureed I absolutely love mine after 3 months now. The 3.3 engine is fantastic, the 6-speed auto is flawless and they ride and drive like a dream. Just great setups. I hope you get it and enjoy it.

Gator Unleashed awesome to hear. More and more I think about it the 3.3 just makes sense for me.

chuckwalla 2 in the automotive world we get both but metric is not always first. Looking at a brochure now, length is metric first but towing shows imperial first. And power is always imperial.

Adrian Baker coming soon. Finally got out to shoot some acceleration runs, but the it started to rain. Soon.

Ma Ha I leave it in tow/haul mode. That turns off the auto shutoff. For 3000# it tows great. In hills you feel the weight, but not the trailer. the truck will shift and rev away but that’s where it makes it HP. I’m on a 1000km drive this weekend right now, not towing. I will be posting about that soon. Cheers

Keanan Fischer i will be doing about 1000km this weekend. I’ll let you know.

What changes can be done? I see a lot of people talking about it.

@@brooks323 a lot first you need this adapter www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MUALTSX?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Then the forscan software forscan.org/

And finally the funny part docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uDSQ1Z5a2Wt8-kjrSiVSlDFGFHnfeuhb3RTMVz95730/htmlview#gid=815852466

But before make any change make a backup using forscan

VINKAT01 compared to southern Ontario, NB is hilly. If you’re doing 90% highway the 5.0 and the 3.3 will be close in mpg. We’ll see how the mileage is come winter. The 5.0 were 25-30L/100km, it’s a big block to warm up, but that’s 100% city. Do I want the V8, of course, do I need it, not really. How fast can I go sitting at a red light? Cheers

@@thecraighouse9246 Right on. I've subbed so will keep an eye out for more vids.

I have 3.5 tt also....got the 5star 93 performance tune.....wow....absolute rocket ship.

Guillermo Ortiz my 2 previous were 5.0 because that was what was on the lot when I bought. The 13 in Canada you couldn’t get the 3.5 in a SCrew with 4x4, not till 15 when it went aluminum. For the 16, a friend owns a dealership and that one someone ordered it but cancelled it after delivery.

That's good to hear.
