- Ford launched the F-Series truck in 1948, and 51 of those 70 years it's been the #1 pickup in Canada. Our Spotlight is on the 2018 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew. Read our full review: goo.gl/tKwGrV
Last year we had the chance to feature a slightly less equipped 2017 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew to go over all the features, buttons, and options found during our old TestDrive format. We're now looking at the refreshed model with more options, such as the 302A equipment package, FX4 off-road package, dual sunroofs, and much more. Coming in at $57,594.00, this F-150 is less of a no-frills work truck and more like an SUV alternative for families.
We cover all the features and options found on this Ford F150 in our full-tour and review of this light duty pickup truck. We show all the exterior features like the rear parking sensors and backup camera, LED lights in the bed, and poor-performing halogen headlights. We jump inside to show the larger Sync3 screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, heated front seats, air conditioning, and much more.
The other big change with this truck over our review from last year is the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine featuring a twin-turbo setup. Producing 325 horsepower and a bumped up 400 lb-ft of torque, the smallest engine actually produces quite a bit of power in the F-150 lineup. We go over the power and specs of this trim and option set, as well as talk about fuel economy.
We wrap up our Spotlight by going over our likes and dislikes about this truck, and talk about some of the reasons we think the Ford F-Series pickup truck has been the best-selling pickup truck in Canada for 51 years.

Great video !
Glad you liked it!
Great reviews do you mind putting MPG in your reviews for us Americans LOL
We'll see what we can do! We're trying to make sure we talk about fuel economy for each vehicle, and we'll work in a way to add the MPG equivalent as an on-screen graphic.
👍
those halogens make me want to barf lol
They really are terrible, we'd like to get the chance to feature an F-Series truck with LED headlights to compare the quality.
2:51 high beam headlights?
if yes, i finally found a vehicle with worst headlights than my car lol
Not even high beams! Those are the regular headlights and fog lights. Performance is absolutely terrible on them!
ok, if they was high beam, would have been shameful
The high beams really didn't do much, kept them off only because I felt the fog lights gave me better light where I needed it.
Perpetual Radio Networks yes fog lights give a nice low range visibility but at least here in Italy is forbiden use fog lights if there's no fog. I dont know the reason...
I've heard that about Europe also, when we had the CB7 Accord a lot of Euro-owners would ask why us North Americans were so interested in having them on all the time.
Yes, the halogen headlights on most Ford vehicles after 2015/2015 are awful.
Halogens on pretty much every car are pretty awful. At least if they opted for projector-based over reflector it might help improve it somewhat, but ideally Xenon or LED works the best.
Headlights are trash?? Hasnt driven a Toyota tundra yet lol
I can't comment on the newest models for pickups but I am lucky to be able to drive in a lot of company pickups for my work. Overall I feel that F150 excel in quiet cabin, great handling, and the most stable one in rough road or fully loaded conditions. Stuff like features, gas mileage, power, payload etc, they are generally comparable between RAM and Silverado. I have to say though, RAM is the most unreliable one. I do agree with you about the headlights, it is garbage. Silverado and RAM both have standard LED DRL but not F150, I believe Silverado also has standard HID headlights on all trims.
We're hoping to be able to try out the rest of them if/when they're available on the fleet out here. I think we missed the boat for the Silverado and Sierra, but we'll see if our Mopar guy will have any 1500s on their fleet for summer.
On a side note the reason all these pickups so expensive now is because back then pickups was only built to haul cargo, not passengers or luxury so was dirt cheap. Now they add all kinds of fancy techs, luxuries, cabin space etc making them expensive. In my opinion is so not necessary because if you want luxuries and comforts plus cargo space, could of just buy a full size SUV for that. Instead they made pickups becoming less and less affordable for some that just need it to haul.
