Btw, hearing a review from a Ford mechanic point of view, pointing out all the parts of the engine, good or bad aspects and all the other mechanical ins and outs is a powerful review! You have an angle most others cannot provide!
Nice. So many trucks now are loaded up with the biggest and baddest engines as possible, turbos, hybrids, etc. The biggest cabs as possible, the most tech we can cram in there, every part of the dash is a screen, the biggest wheels and tires, the heaviest tow packages possible, it goes on and on. Then we wonder why trucks are $80k, and cost so much to fix. This is what I would call a normal truck, with a price tag that someone who works for a living can handle. It's really breath of fresh air.
Clean looking truck. I can appreciate the space under the hood, which makes common maintenance items easier and faster to perform. A high point, the water pump is not driven by the timing chain!
I know a buddy with a 3.3 2018 f150 and hes a GMC dealer mechanic. But hes one of those guys who say “i spend all day working on customer vehicles and i dont want to work on my own vehicles.” A typical “mechanic owned special”. Kind of unfortunate that he is a mechanic but would rather pay someone else to work on his own truck. I am the kind of person who services my truck every 4/5k miles religiously, staying late after work to preform my own services. I own a 2021 toyota tacoma and work at a toyota dealership so it makes it very easy for me.
looking at a 3.3 liter with 290 horsepower is just so amazing. Back when I was a teen and me and my buddies were working on our first cars and trucks, a new F100 / F150 with a 5.0 liter had 130 horsepower and 224 lb ft of torque.
We have those 3.3s in our Police Interceptor Explorers and so far we're pretty impressed with them. I was sad to see the 3.7s go because they were a hell of a good motor aside from those damn water pumps. One thing I like about those 3.3s in our Interceptors is they're both port and direct injected. Hopefully it cuts down on the carbon build up on the intake valves.
Ford should have watched mad max, the 3.3 powered ones should be called "police pursuit", and the 400hp 3.0 Ecoboost version called "police interceptor"!
I agree but many folks outs there want everything on it or loaded. Such as waste of ideals for a pickup truck to be fully loaded with tenderfoot options that truly don't make a truck a truck.
The duratec engines are solid and strong. Love these base packages, they are the value and reliability king…this truck is nicer than most XLTs from the previous years.
Exactly, I could be wrong, but doesn't duratec essentially stand for durable technology? The 3.5 duratec in our explorer is fantastic. Apparently, some 3.5s have an issue with water pump failures, but this is a pretty uncommon issue, and doesn't seem to happen as much on post 2012 3.5 engines.
@@KB-bh9hp I don’t know what it stands for, we have 4 at the town ,2 3.7 explorer police interceptors, 2019s the last year they made that style. Also have 2 3.5L 2016 explorers. The engines are smooth and powerful ,good on fuel.They don’t burn any oil and they are very very quiet and refined. My 2020 F150 3.5 eco-boost is duratec based as well. Smooth and powerful, tows like a diesel.
they purposely manipulate this , for the consumer to spend more for interior, Ford is the leading market at least in trucks, they offer this basic interior for 50k basically because they can get away with it.
Yep, can vouch for these 3.3L. Got a 2018 and love it just as a daily driver. I do think these 2021's have a better interior than mine though. I'd definitely buy one again.
I have a 2021 SuperCap XLT 4x4 with the XTR package. 19k on the 3.3 NA motor. Great truck! Had several C150’s. Thought the 2.7 was a better motor with more pep and HP. But no complaints with this 3.3 ! Definitely does the job for what I need it for. Sync 4 with all the bells and whistles I need.
People need to stop paying the ridiculous prices these crooked dealers are charging for vehicles. Should be illegal. I was going to buy a new truck this year but am not now. If we stop giving in to the crooks prices will go back to normal.
I really like the look of this truck. It is well appointed. The mobile desk in the center console is a nice touch. The engine is nicely accessible for ease of servicing. Hopefully this engine doesn't choke up with carbon.
just checked and it says the Ford 3.3 L Cyclone V6 on the ford F150 since 2018 has both port and direct fuel injection. I assume this would at least mitigate the effects of carbon sludge buildup on the valves since there is at least some gas flow to wash the valves.
I have a 2021 v6 f150 regular cab 2x4. brand new now it has 1600 miles. No power windows no power mirror no power locks grey vynal interior. It feels amazing coming from a 99 rav 4.

I have one of these engines in my company truck.. it's not terrible! I thought it was gutless when I first got it because my personal truck is a 5.7 hemi. Now that I'm used to it, it does have some gitty up when you need to pass. You just need to realize that the engine needs to rev out to 3 -5 k. Gas mileage is ok, but not that much better than my Hemi on the highway. The drawback is that the transmission will downshift climbing " any" grade ( 6 speed), whereas my hemi will pull a hill in top gear. My one pet peeve is that the oil dipstick is too short and you need to stand on your head to reach it.. Ford could lengthen it to accommodate the use in the truck.
this is one of the reasons i have no interest in the ecoboost engines(besides extra cost when something breaks) alot easier to work on and more than likely longer lasting
Pretty delux for an XL. With the 3.3L V6 you have a ton of room to work on just about everything. =Great fleet or work trucks, yet comfortable and has good power.
i have this model for my company vehicle , i am impressed nice motor averaged 21 mpg i do a lot of driving and it idles a long time it will drop to about 15 avg mpg the 10 speed trans is nice it took about 2k and the 10 speed really settled in , i would buy one .
Now i like that engine bay, nice and open, easy to work on, my 2021 5.0 engine bay is similar, not as open, but not too cramped like the ecoboost engines.
Seems to be a pretty solid engine, the base f-150 engines are better than most people give them credit. For instance, I believe the previous gen f-150 had a 3.5 duratec as it's base motor. Which is a great engine, our explorer has one. Decent power, acceptable fuel economy, and it's apparently one of the more durable Ford engines you can find. The water pump situation isn't great, but that's apparently a pretty uncommon failure point, especially on newer 3.5s like our 2017 explorer.
3.3 going to have a fun time towing a decent load up a grade. the new nissan frontier with a 3.8 v6 was pinned at 5k and above rpm for 8 minutes straight. (from youtube videos)
3.3 L V6 is a very underrated engine. HP @290 is fine...just needs a bump up in torque to about 305 lbs/ft of torque as it can struggle a little in conditions that require a little more power. Mechanic friend of mine claims that the 3.3 V6 is actually a Mazda 3.3 v6 that Ford acquired the rights to back when Mazda and Ford had a partnership. Anyone know if that's true?
@@FordBossMe that's what I'm looking for. I want to stay away from cylinder deactivation and turbos. a similar configuration on a ram classic 3.6 v6 is also a top contender. plus my grandpa said I might be out of the will if a get the ford
$43,000 for a baseline truck is ridiculous this world has completely want to shit. I wonder what a 2021 Ford Transit would go for today back in 2017 I purchased a new Ford Transit 150 I believe it's a 3.5 and paid $32,000 new
1 or 2 yr old used chevy express vans and ford transits are bringing 42-45k at the auction, retail close to 50k. There are no new ones available. Cust ordered 2022 express vans are just starting to hit the ground, not sure about Transits, I'd assume its about the same.
Is that a column shifter I see? I had a 2010 F150 4.6l 3v fx2 which has similar power to the 3.3 v6.👍 I wonder how much better mileage is on the 6. I'll have to google it. F150's IMO are the best looking trucks out there, inside and out and the most reliable.
The 3.3L is a great engine that will suit most people's needs! Got a question for you Boss! Does the 3.3L have both port and direct fuel injections or just direct injection only? Thanks!
Too bad someone ripped the window sticker...some folks keep those with their documents on the vehicle for the day they sell them to a new owner. 3.3 liters doesn't seem like enough cubic inches for anyone who will use the full potential of an F 150. At least it's not turbo charged and will last longer with less failures along the way. Also, it seems that XL is fairly well equipped compared to past years. I'd take one vs. the Lariat or Platinum loaded up with items that are simply just nice but not really necessary in a truck. Sell a bunch of these !
Nice review! I got the 2018 model of this truck last summer and have still not been able to figure out how to get the FordPass app to work, it says "This vehicle does not have connectivity." any insight into why? I assume their fleet vehicles don't have whatever hardware is required to use the remote start etc. from your phone, but haven't been able to find a clear answer yet as the dummies at the dealership had no idea why it wouldn't work... everything else is great, though! Wish I had more power sometimes, but it's still more than I actually NEED.
Another thing this Truck does is if auto start stop turned off ,if running you have foot on the break pedal and you open drivers door it will put the truck in park automatically. Pretty cool.
Please show how to prevent thieves from twisting driver door lock. Remove lock? Jimmy Jammer kit? Install passenger side handle upside down on drivers side? Please help. This is a giant problem.
@@FordBossMe Some on the Jimmy Jammer kit. Some on flipping passenger handle. (It has no hole for the lock so when you remove the drivers lock there isn’t an empty hole) But every solution so far costs around $500. Kids are running around the neighborhoods wrecking Ford doors.
So I went ahead and bought this exact truck yesterday. Mohammad and Enrique hooked me up. So far I love this thing. Mods are coming in next week. 👍🏽
Keep me updated brother
What mods are you adding?

Not enough torque to be considered a decent truck so it will be wound up in the higher RPM's to get any work out of it.
@@Garth2011 Exactly, people like comparing apples to apples. The old trucks did have less HP, but the same or more torque at like 2000 RPM.

What about the 5.0L Coyote ?
The 3.3L is a great engine that will suit most people's needs!
Got a question for you Boss! Does the 3.3L have both port and direct fuel injections or just direct injection only?
Thanks!
I can't speak on the 2021 model but the 2018 had both port and direct.
Too bad someone ripped the window sticker...some folks keep those with their documents on the vehicle for the day they sell them to a new owner. 3.3 liters doesn't seem like enough cubic inches for anyone who will use the full potential of an F 150. At least it's not turbo charged and will last longer with less failures along the way. Also, it seems that XL is fairly well equipped compared to past years. I'd take one vs. the Lariat or Platinum loaded up with items that are simply just nice but not really necessary in a truck. Sell a bunch of these !
Dude small world. Came in a few weeks ago to look at this truck but it hadn’t arrived yet. Talk to Muhamed and Brian.
Good guys
Unrelated question, I have a 19 f150 5.0L
I ordered a 22 with 5.0L. have you heard or seen any issues with the cylinder deactivation on the new 5.0L?
Nope no issues with the cylinder deactivation yet
@@FordBossMe cool, thanks
Can you review the 3.0L powerstroke that Ford canceled. Wondering how it works.
It's not good lol, I'll review it if I get one
Would you use as a work truck
Vs the 90s f150
Oh yes
That’s the engine I would get simply to save money and fuel
Nice review! I got the 2018 model of this truck last summer and have still not been able to figure out how to get the FordPass app to work, it says "This vehicle does not have connectivity." any insight into why? I assume their fleet vehicles don't have whatever hardware is required to use the remote start etc. from your phone, but haven't been able to find a clear answer yet as the dummies at the dealership had no idea why it wouldn't work... everything else is great, though! Wish I had more power sometimes, but it's still more than I actually NEED.
Probably doesn't have everything that's needed for pass app
Leave it off anyone as soon as you turn it on they are watching everything you do
@@FordBossMe haha yeah I guess pros and cons. Would be nice to start the truck and cool it off from my office during the summer though 😆
Another thing this Truck does is if auto start stop turned off ,if running you have foot on the break pedal and you open drivers door it will put the truck in park automatically. Pretty cool.
What package is that or code to get a work truck with a console?
What are the pockets or bulges for in the intake tubes on the F150s? I have always wondered
Typically it's to reduce intake noise and to add to extra plenum volume
I have the same smeared white stain inside my center console as well. Wtf
Which automatic transmission is behind 3.3L V6?
10 speed
2018-20 6 speed
2021 and newer is a 10 speed.
Please show how to prevent thieves from twisting driver door lock. Remove lock? Jimmy Jammer kit? Install passenger side handle upside down on drivers side? Please help. This is a giant problem.
No idea yet, any videos on it?
@@FordBossMe Some on the Jimmy Jammer kit. Some on flipping passenger handle. (It has no hole for the lock so when you remove the drivers lock there isn’t an empty hole) But every solution so far costs around $500. Kids are running around the neighborhoods wrecking Ford doors.

Jesus, that's like a grand less than my XL with the 5.0. He does have a few addons though
