  • This week I drive and review the 2019 Ford F-150 XLT 2.7L EcoBoost as an everyday truck and I came away pretty impressed. Although it's not the most updated truck like the recent 2019 Ram and 2019 Silverado / Sierra..it still offers nearly everything people would want and includes tons of options for this F-150 XLT trim. Although it's not my favorite engine choice, if efficiency is your goal then this is a great option.

      Actually, it's not at all up to the reviewer, unless they can find vehicles to review on their own. The 'press cars' that the manufacturers make available to professional car journalists are always the most expensive models. Those are the ones they want to promote because...more profit margin.
      There are probably a handful of reviewers that borrow vehicles from dealerships instead of getting official press vehicles from the manufacturers, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

    I have more than enough power to tow whatever i need.
    On long trips across the state I usually get 21 mpg and that’s totally acceptable to me.
    Its a blast to drive on sport mode and when the warranty expires ill definitely get a tune.

    I recently did a road trip from central Illinois to Florida mostly interstate highway driving with exception of about the 1st 50 miles slowing down to drive through rural towns and a lot of stop and go through Atlanta. I averaged 27.3 MPG on the trip. The truck had a fresh oil change, tire rotation and tires inflated to spec. 2.7 XLT Supercrew. I have owned 2 years. Has been a very nice truck.

    I'll be ordering my 2021 F-150 Lariat 2.7 Supercab 4x4 later this year. After researching all the changes Ford made to the revised 2nd gen 2.7 ecoboost I knew it was the engine I wanted. I think this engine will wind up being the most reliable in the F-150 lineup.
    I rarely tow and this truck will be my daily driver and my travel/camping rig, eventually. This engine paired with the lighter weight of the Supercab body and 3.73 locking gears is the ideal balance between real world efficiency and overall performance.

I think it’s great to be able to get all the equipment in an XLT without having to step up to a higher trim level. If I could have my pick, it would be a Lariet Super Crew with the 3.5 EcoBoost. Pearl White with Beige leather. Pano roof, safety tech package, and a nice set of wheels. Great review as always. I like seeing an ‘everyday ‘ trim level. It’s refreshing. Haha

    I just took delivery of a 2019 F-150 XLT FX4 with the 2.7L Ecoboost engine. I'm very happy with it. I got the 302A trim package because they have the most discounts right now. The only thing I wish Ford would've added to it was the programmable garage door opener option, but that's reserved for the Lariat 501A package. Other than that, I couldn't be happier. The engine has enough power to get me up to highway speeds quickly, and can handle the occasional trip to the feed store as well as the occasional trailer load with the zero turn mower. Overall, I would definitely buy it again.

    I own a 2017 STX with 4wd and 2.7, I get pretty much 20.4 mpg day in day out. I can’t imagine anyone complaining about power, my brother n law drove it, Big Chevy V8 guy and the 2.7 brought a big smile to his face! A 6.2 will give it a run, but 5.3’s and 5.7’s this lil ecoboost will walk off from. Mine has 375 Torque not the 400, I’m thinking maybe my truck has the 3.55 rear end, maybe yours has a higher geared rear end, awesome job on the review.

    Everybody wants a fuel efficient vehicle but if you want a 1/2 ton pick up truck, the 2.7 Ecoboost is the best option to go, unless you want to upgrade to a diesel engine but then you would have to drive a lot to make up for the hefty price you just paid for. I went to Chevy/GMC/Toyota and by far for the price we got our F 150 XLT, it was the truck with the most features available without spending tons of money, at least here in Canada the Chevy Silverado 1500 custom and the Ford F-150 XLT are just above CAD $50,000 and the Silverado does not even have half of the features we got in our F 150. Although I am Ford enthusiastic, I tried to go with a different brand but I was just pushed back to Ford (Built Tough).

Yes, it will tow. I saw one person that said the just bought the 5.0L F-150, keep an eye one your oil level? TSB out there wanted dealers to check for excess oil use. The 5.0L is has and aluminum block and heads with a spray in cylinder lining. Don’t think they have that perfected yet. My 2.7L is the best engine I have had in a vehicle, and that’s includes the 4.9L inline six.

    I've got a 2015 2.7 4x4 supercab. When I did mostly highway driving I got about 23 mpg avg. Now where I live I do almost all city driving - 20.6 mpg. Still pretty good. One highway trip with a load I got 26.2 mpg and was averaging 70 mph. At one point I hit 102. I've hauled about 1200 lbs worth of logs in the bed and the ride and mpg didn't suffer at all and the springs barely sagged. And this truck is quick. Have smoked a few other trucks at red lights, and mine is a 2015 so it only has 375 lb/ft and a 6 speed. At about 32k miles though I did have to replace the throttle body. But was covered under warranty. And the design for the battery terminal connectors is awful. Like wtf was somebody thinking? Overall I did not want to buy a ford based off my experience with a former work truck, but am very happy with my purchase so far. Once I pay it off soon (bought it a year ago used) I'll be able to tell you if I love it or not

    For me it came down to a few things. #1 Ford Ecoboost engines. So far they've proven to be a reliable design. I have a 2.7 2019 so time will tell. But so far they seem to be good motors. And for everything from daily driving to towing, forced induction is king.
    #2 exterior styling. The Chevy is butt ugly. Plain and simple. F150 is a sexy truck.
    #3 super crew cab space. The floor layout is a much better design.
    #4 aluminum body. Aluminum just doesn't corrode like steel. Corrodes yes, but not like steel.
    #5 overall driving experience. Kind of leads back to the engines. Forced induction is king. Ford is getting their milage out of the 2.7 by a small displacement engine with turbos.
    The design appears to be rock solid. Overall driving is fun and not sluggish and boaty like the gm with the dog 5.3.
    Both trucks can get great gas milage. But the Ford came up with an idea to have power on tap too. Not sure what I mean? Go drive one.

    Good review. That is virtually identical to my truck, only difference is my bumpers are painted, and all black interior. My last truck was also XLT (2010). Personally, I've never seen the need to spend lots more just for the extra luxuries. It is my daily driver, but I also haul and tow stuff with it from time to time. I've already towed a 3300 lb boat 150 miles on the highway, and it was like the boat wasnt even there. The torque is incredible for such a tiny engine!

My lifetime average is 18.6 with some towing in there. It does drop quite a bit when pulling a trailer. Not really a surprise though.

My 3.5 doesn't have to work hard to do anything really, as the turbos spool pretty quick and help accelerate without having to downshift. They are very close, but I'd rather have the 75+ lb-ft vs the 20ish hp. I guess I'm biased too as I love and prefer turbocharged motors from an efficiency standpoint.

    I have a 2018 STX with the 2.7 ecoboost ive averaged 22.9 mpg since ive owned it it now has 19k on it so ive really enjoyed that aspect. I have 1 yr left on my lease and i have planned on moving into a xlt but im dissapointed for 50k you dont get led lights, keyless entry or even push button start which are all features that i wanted on my next truck. My question is what truck would you pick between the xlt f150 or the chevy trail boss LT? They are basically the same price but the chevy has all the features imentiond i wanted plus a 2 inch lift and some nice aggressive tires( I was gonna put a leveling kit on my next truck plus wheels and tires anyway so thats a big money saving right there) I like my ford but it seems like the trail boss has what im looking for in stock form for a good price. Im just curious what you think since you have hands on experience with both. Thanks and good job reviewing the truck!

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  Před 5 lety +1

      Very nice and thanks for sharing! Yeah it’s a bummer that those things aren’t available for that price but it’s possible to get some big discounts on a more expensive truck with those. Maybe.
      I like that LT Trail Boss and everything it offers for sure, my only question is reliability. I say that with a sad face because I used to own a Silverado and my mom still drives and ‘02 with upper 200s miles but I’ve known a couple people with the last generation truck who each had multiple issues. Primarily transmission and electrical. So I’m really curious how this generation Silverado is going to do.
      If you’re gonna keep it for a long time id trust the current F-150 more but between those trims is prefer that trail boss.
      Tough choice! Possibly wait for the 2020 F-150 to see what changes there could be. Good luck with the decision!

Ill prob lease again because i enjoy getting into the latest and greatest every few years. I like the tremor package the super duties will be offered with, perhaps ford carries that over to f 150 i think that could be a nice trail boss competitor as well as trd pro and ram rebel.

    I got this 2019 F-150 XLT FX4 with the 2.7L Ecoboost engine as a loaner while my 2018 GMC Sierra SLT is in the body shop for some dings. Only driven it for a couple of days but boy do i miss the GMC. The spacious cabin, leg room, the quite smooth ride, the power of the 5.3 V8 and the overall ride quality - there is just no comparison. Also the build and material quality feel light and not strong. I am not sure about the higher end trims in the Ford lineup but i think i have been spoiled by GMC trucks. The ford also has a bigger body but that does not seem to translate into space for the driver. The seats are smaller, hip room is tight and leg room is just...meh. XLT, if i am not mistaken is a mid level trim so i was expecting better. Not fairing any better with fuel . On highway my GMC gives me 26 mpg and this is Ford gives me around 24 mpg .
