- This week I take the Ford F150 Super Crew up to the cottage to see why everyone uses these as family vehicles instead of pure utility trucks. Turns out, there is a good reason...

Fuel economy nearly as good as my wife’s CRV, loads of room and comfort, effortless acceleration, so easy to drive, carry just about anything home from the store. 3 years of ownership and have to say most enjoyable useable vehicle I’ve ever owned. In town or on the highway a pleasure to drive.
Still feel the same way?
As someone who worked at a dealership over 5 years, always spring for the spray in bedliner!
malkionx my 2017 did not have the spray in bed liner when new, I was washing the truck on a cold day and decided to get up in the bed to wash the roof, I don’t remember steel beds being that slick, but swish I was laying on my side before I knew it. Had the Upol Raptor sprayed in it that week.
The king of trucks-Period.
It’s actually amazing Thai has no opposition
Owned a f150 since 1999 just got a 2019 SPORT 2.7 Love this truck best ever
Thank you for the honest review of an everyday driver rather than the in depth technical review you see most of the time. Well done. Merci.
If you get push button start, you get the soft opening tailgate because you can press a button on the key fob to open it.
Beautiful color and this trim is perfect for daily driving.
Why do people buy sports cars? You don't need to go fast. Same thing with trucks. Some people just like driving trucks even though they may not use it as much as they probably should. Good review otherwise
@Brian Waller yeah exactly
George Parker I just got a 2018 f150 as a family vehicle to go from point a to point b. Nice safe reliable vehicle. I don’t want a small car or even an SUV.
@@MrRaErickson I really hate the look of SUV's. They just look so disgusting and some of them don't get much better gas mileage than the trucks anyway
Typical Cucknadian... "YOU DO NOT buy this truck for this reason, you will buy something smaller, please."
Freakin' socialists think they can tell people what they can and can't do. God, that pisses me off.
PS
I own this truck, with the max tow package 3.5l V6 EB. $56k (American) sticker, paid $42k. It's my daily driver because I LOVE pickup trucks.
I haul occasionally but for me its the space inside. I don't like the cramped space of a car. Who cares why someone prefers a truck to a car. If I want a truck I am getting a truck even if it is solely for driving.
In my family we have a 2015 Ram 1500 4x4 and a 2018 Hyundai GT Sport. The truck is a great long distance cruiser, tows the travel trailer and does the dirty work, and the car is a sport fun drive and gets decent fuel mileage. It's a great combo. The 4 door truck will continue to be a family vehicle because suv's are getting pricey, especially if you need it to tow. The small suv's don't have much more room than our hatchback and they aren't fun to drive.
I have the same truck, just in red. It’s my daily driver and it’s perfect. Anything you could do with a vehicle all in one.
Got my first pick up truck ford 150 V8 4x4 2018 37k miles grey n oh boy I'm loving it only been 2 days but the drive is smooth n I'm using it for daily use n I don't really tow but at work we sometimes cut down trees n we make l9gs n take them home..... n my mpg thr highest I seen so far is 23 mpg not too shabby
the 2.7 is a cast iron block, all the others are aluminium. IDK why, but Ford is having trouble with the others, but this one is just flat bulletproof. It's going to be the darkhorse champion
It’s actually a compacted graphite block, made the same as a diesel block, lots of HD parts so it will last
I’ve got the exact same truck but black with the 3.5. Pick it up this weekend.
All the same reasons i bought one. All the utility with no fuss and comfort is plenty reasonable for a utility minded vehicle.
Great review from regular dude... I did buy the 2018 Lariat, 502 chrome package, and simply love it!!! Camping 1, or you and wife can either set up in the back seat with seats up, or camp inside bed. Either way It can get you to the site and if late, Both of you have somewhere to camp out in a bind….lol Yes,.... I would NEVER go back to any car, or 2 WD truck as this package has it ALL!!!!
Nice man! What engine you got?
I drive a truck as a daily driver. Not everyone wants to buy a little shitbox as a daily driver. All sacrifice some fuel economy for added safety.
Great review for a man that doesn’t like trucks! After years of driving Toyota Tacoma’s, I feel like my lil 2.7 is a luxury rocket ship and mines just a basic STX 4wd Crew.
How is it going Man? Really good review. It's funny how you said that if you aren't doing certain things that you shouldn't be driving such pick up....i am a stay home dad and I take care of the home affairs like grocery store runs and run errands including picking up the kiddos from school. I drive a magnetic color 2017 f-150 fx4 sport trim with a coyote v-8 engine and not the eco-crap. And from experience I can tell you that whether I load up groceries, I'm loading up equipment to go mow my mom's property or go on a date with my wife....i can do it all. These trucks are very capable, comfortable and powerful.
You have my sympathies for a poor engine choice.
@@paulhunter9613 to each their own buddy, I have a 2019 FX4 with a coyote engine and borla atak exhaust and mud tires now, I just simply love the Ford truck with the coyote engine.
yay trottlee house
The 10 speed isn't an option... you get it no matter what, unless you get the N/A 3.3
I wonder how the towing l/100 are
I would go with the 5.0 coyote V8. It’s got plenty of power 395 hp and 400 pounds of torque which is plenty of power for most needs. Tried and true engine and those turbos are expensive when they go out and they will go out. Plus you can’t beat that V-8 sound.
2.7l ecoboost has better low end torque. If you properly maintain the 2.7l no, the turbos wont go out. 2.7l ecoboost is the strongest engine ford makes with its CGI block (besides maybe the new 7.3l superduty engine), offset cracked rod ends, its built like a little diesel engine. I have 84,500 miles on my 2.7l no issues
Better watch out ford has shit the bed on the new gen3 5.0l coyote engines ticks bad timing chain tensioners that cause a god awful squeal when accelerating and most of all the widespread oil consumption issues where people are having to have long blocks or short blocks replaced new motors at 2thousand miles no thank you and believe I'm worried on a personal level too not just being a hater of ford I just spent 42 thousand dollars on a 2019 ford f150 xlt with the 5l v8 and fx4 package and to be honest with you the widespread problems the 18 and 19s are having this shit has me honestly scared I just spent what I consider big money on somthing that is not going to last so like I said in the beginning I would have totally agreed with you to always go with the tried and true and easy to work on 5l v8 but they made changes to it that have ruined that motor in my opinion
@@1FiftyOverland
Just picked up a 2018 XLT with the 2.7L EB. 46k miles. Only thing I will be towing is a fishing boat less than 2k lbs. good to hear you’ve had no issues!
@@wjb111 I'm now at 106k miles still not issues. My younger brother just picked up a 2018 2.7l and loves it.
Agree!!!
I have this truck 2018 purchased it jan 2019 I love it and have towed trailers boats and many long distance trips. Get truck but I have the 5.o naturally aspirated and get 11litres on hwy and 14 liters in town . I would stay away from the eco boost as alot of them have major problems after about 130000 k Google it the turbos have issues
Then google five oh engine disasters, lots of issues with that mess
My wife’s 2014 CRV gets 22 mpg, my F150 Crew 2.7 4WD gets nearly about 1.5 mpg less, the Ford is quick, quiet, comfortable and much safer! Also carries 5 no problem. F150 is a great daily driver. At the end of 2 years I’m amazed at just how good the Ford is for the money and how way over rated the Honda is, great reputation, but merely a transportation device with no soul!

I wish they had a truck in between the Ranger and the Full Size F150. The ranger would be perfect for me but the back seat is tiny and would be fairly uncomfortable for use, especially with passengers in the back for hunting season.
@11:00 what if you can't fit in those mid-sized trucks?
13:42 I thought a bug flew into my ear
Live in Quebec.
Nice video but you could have taken that 1700 dollars that you spent on the moon roof and purchased the 3.5L with the max towing package that comes with the 13,200 pounds of towing.
Just get the V8!!! ALOT less problems
There are problems with the five oh, a lot of them@@George-on3zm
Did you state two different motor sizes? 2.7L and 2.3L Which is this one?
Just listen you dumb fuck. He said its the 2.7 in the beginning.
Michael Adamowicz he also says 2.3 :)
3:21 - you said 2.3 instead of 2.7 fyi
That was a test. You’re hired!
Throttle House Sweet!! I'm Canadian too! Right near Toronto. Where do I send my resume? 👍
Throttle House I hate my job so this works out perfectly 😅.......😕.......😭
uNkLeRaRa4 1:26 he said 2.7
He's just a flip flop wearing bafoon. Excuse him.
In Houston Texas, we don't buy Audi's or BMW's, we buy Fords.
Great review, however I would personally keep the personal opinions out. You don't get to dictate why someone buys a truck. If I want to drop 50k on a vehicle I drive to work and back and nothing else, I will. Nobody wants to hear "if you reason is [this], you should never buy [this]." Again though, great review.
I disagree. I want to hear them.
Just an opinion Radiostar. I hope you are OK, after that violation. Perhaps the next one will not offend you personally. WOW!...…...
Relax.....lol dude.
Lmao damn it sounds like you’re menstruating
Any chance you have a Patreon page? I'd be down to support this channel.
me too
I’ve been thinking of setting one up! I’ll let you know! Thanks for your support.
1700 for glass ruf. Is cheap
2.3 liter? Bruh, did you mean 2.7? I just bought a 2018 Lariat power stroke F150 for almost 4K under blue book. It only had 23.6 K miles on it!! On a 5 yr old truck! Getting close to 30 mpgs on the highway. I went from a Coyote 5.0 V8 F150 to this, so I miss the power but I'll take the mileage. It's so quiet. My last truck had borla atak exhaust so the whole neighborhood got up when I did, 😬 oops.
The 2.7 is actually a little bit faster than the five oh
the other reason trucks are so popular is because the soccer moms killed the SUV which resulted in the crossover vehicles. The only true SUV is the 4 runner. So now if you want an SUV but don't want a 4Runner, you have to get a truck. It's true, in your statement, of who doesn't need this truck, but those people do need a proper suv. Bring back the Jeep Grand Cherokees, the ford explorers, the blazers, etc. of the late 90's and you would see less family's driving trucks.

A very easy install.
says not to use it as a daily driver but for towing and working. Shows video of him not using any of those features and driving from a cottage to town as a daily driver.
Should it have a V8 though?
You can get a V8 if you want it to be slower and tow less, sure.
Scotty Kilmer says your turbo charged 6 will blow up long before the V8.
@@TheMurrblakeit’s no surprise, Scotty says some stupid things. And he is a Toyota fanboy
Your arm doesn’t rest on that very outer edge of the door panel and I don’t shop at Walmart
So I have a 2018 Ford F150 XLT with the 5.0 Lightning Blue and I do use my truck to go to WalMart and other places. When your 6ft.4in and your friends are also very tall, the little car thing doesn't work. Good video but your opinion is just that... yours. Keep iit to yourself and let me drive my truck how I want to.
Drive the Ram.
Electric steering breaks $1200.00 parts alone - non reparable. Carbon built up on intake valves non repairable $$$$$ Plastic oil pan leaks.....PRICELESS
Got my plastic oil pan replaced under warranty. Got a free oil change with it. Only issue so far
Flip flops in Canada while doing a truck review! Please don't make us build a great wall along the northern border.
😂😂😂😂😂
Ram is better
Ram = 💩
Much rather have a tacoma
Knoss0s so you can get way less truck for your money, get worse fuel economy, tow less, carry less, and have less room??
uNkLeRaRa4 I rather have a truck that will last me 20 years at least and not feel like it’s made out of cheap plastic inside. Any fueling costs you will lose fixing the shit Ford. I only need to tow a few motorcycles at once.
Just traded my dissappointing 2016 Tacoma in for an F150. So much happier now.
@@jasonfox9564 am doing the same tomorrow! Loved my '10 Tacoma, very disappointed by the' 16 model... Picking up the same model as in this video(minus the FX4).
Who the hell keeps vehicles for 20 years nowadays??
Hate truck owners and trucks. Posers r us. Manufacturers make these so tall, that they now get to sell you step tailgate and side run step. Rillant sales strategy
Blake Swan Small words from what appears to be a small man 😋
Would you like some cheese to go with that whine? Now dry your tears and tell the world what your problem is. We truck owners couldn't care less what you think and with an attitude like yours you better have big balls to match your mouth. Just sayin' !
What the hell does "rillant" mean anyway 🤔
Ford....us crap....
American rules the world deal with it .the rest of the world kicks our balls and wishes to get could be us crap.
