That wheel/tire/spacer combo is hideous.
The entire truck looks like shit.
@@busterbear13 disagree with you gentlemen, I think it gives a mean look to the truck
It looks like a rollerskate waiting to get stuck on a sidewalk crack.
Even more so that it has the fx4 package
@@busterbear13 Indeed
I enjoyed the heck outta this. I also would’ve stuck with stock wheels and maybe a bimodal exhaust instead. But the owner obviously likes it and that’s awesome.
Short exhaust is partly the reason for the loud level exhaust. Simply running that out behind the axle would drop that tone considerably. I know when i had the duals on my '81 C10 dumping in front of each rear wheel, i could drive through a multilevel parking structure, and set off car alarms simply by driving in 1st gear around 2200-2500 RPM. Yeah, we were all young & dumb at some point in our lives, lol!
@@1oldskoolluvr hells yeah. I’d be taking I’d be using every excuse to go looking for tunnels if I owned it.
The worst wheel/tire combo...ruins the truck🤮
The physics of comfort seems to pass over the heads of many vehicle owners... Thorough review thanks Rich and Aaron.
What the fuck kind of wheel and tire combo is that
Please make this a normal series, I love this and I’d love to see you do this with newer diesels
Like the reviews because you know what your talking about and you tell it straight good or bad. I have a 2011 FX4 Ford screw with the 5.0L 6R80 4x4 3.73 ratio that I bought new. Now104 thousand miles 167371km and 11 years of Manitoba winters still no major issues. Wish you could see it. It is still like new because I am super fussy about maintenance and rust prevention. I am a retired diesel mechanic I tow a 5500 pound TT. This truck and my TT has been to Alaska, Yukon, California, South Texas numerous times from Winnipeg. I use factory filters and change all fluids early and use synthetic 5w20 in the engine. The engine uses no oil between oil changes (5000 KM interval) when not towing and about a half liter towing from Wpg to McAllen Texas when bucking strong head winds. I plan on keeping this truck for a vary long time. I think any vehicle can be made to last if you are willing to get filthy now and then like Rich.
This is a great way to test vehicles......keep it up. This should expose problems that trucks may have. Really like the idea of the oil analysis....thought you were going to have more trouble getting oil in the container (I'm getting old and have more trouble than that at the doctor's office - LOL!)
I agree with a couple comments I have seen. At least for trucks, a mid range tow test. Also, love to see a comparison between the 5.0 and 3.5 Econoost. My buddy loves his but he’s already had to replace warped manifolds on a completely stock truck which are apparently a pretty common problems. Also had to have the valve body worked on in the 10 speed for flare shifting. It’s a daily driver, never been off road and only ever towed a 14 foot trailer with a UTV on it a few times.
I bought a 2019 5.0 new and had multiple problems with the trans shifting poorly and popping up codes and the auto start stop coming on mid drive and the idle would jump around 500 rpm very strange and too add it only had 25k miles on it and I started seeing problems at 15k miles .. I ended up trading it in on a tundra (2019) .. best decision I’ve ever made
Love this review and how you showed the oil change process n what it's like driving
Awesome video and I am strongly considering one of these newer (slightly used) F150s with basically this exact setup (but without the aftermarket rims/exhaust because I too am old and also actually like the factory rims :). This video format/theme is really helpful and I think many of the others will appreciate this type of review series on newer used trucks (because the brand new msrp is way outside of the average person's budget).
I have a 2012 Lariat 4-door with the 5.0, it now has right at 50 thousand miles on it, and the only problem I've had was a fuel-pump fuse blowing at 30k miles or so, I just replaced it and never took it in to get checked, I've given you crap in the past, but I gotta say, your unbiased reviews have made me a believer, and a life-long viewer,😉👍, awesome video Rich, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the input and sticking around. Like I said before, my biggest beef was the 5.4 3V, 6.0 and 6.4 which was all we saw in the shop for almost a decade. The are pretty well gone now
Just can’t do those rims and tires.. stockers with some at’s looks best..
Great review Rich, my 2020 crew cab coyote is packing a Gen5 whipple. The coyote loves boost. As far as the AC drain, FORD sells a rubber elbow that you put on the drain tab and it will shoot straight down. I was a die hard GM truck guy but after owning 3 aluminum F150’s there’s a reason it’s the best selling pickup here in the states. Love the channel, you’re the man!
But it’s not the best seller. Ford doesn’t put f150 sales numbers out. So how can you say that. Oh yeah your a moron
Ford builds the best trucks for sure. Just the facts!
My 2017 5.0 F150 has a steel oil pan with an angled drain plug. Sway bar isn't an issue. That plastic pan and quick release looks like something the accounting department engineered
the first couple years of the 6.7 powerstroke had the plastic oil pan crap then they got smart and put a normal metal one on them
@@nou8257 yep, my 2015 6.7 has a metal pan
I have a Red 2020 XLT too except mines a crew cab and a 3.5, Powers great, tows awesome. Happily buy the truck again.
I own 2015 2.7 Ecoboost with 315000K. One turbo blow off valve replacement under warranty. Wiper transmission and alternator replaced after warranty. Only other maintenance has been oil changed brakes and tires. Mileage has been 11l/100km. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. Aluminum body still looks great.
I'm glad you didn't pass on bringing up those horrible rims and tires. You were still very Canadian about it, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but damn if anything stance on a fairly regular pickup is a hideous trend I can't wait for the death of.
I grew up with Mexicans doing it like that since forever. A stock toyota with whee sticking out 6 inches plus
Yeah It was like everything I dont care for in a wheel/tire combo mashed together. Super stretched rubberband tires on tacky rims with a mile of poke. To each his own I guess.
@@brianbrians3157 Oh man, that's neither rubberbands or a mile of poke. I used to be pretty into the lifted truck scene (until I sold mine for something newer and nicer), and knew a guy that had a set of 26X16 wheels with 2 inch spacers on a GMC 1500 Denali. Said 26s were also wrapped in 35 inch tires. I have seen guys running 33s on 26s, that's getting into rubber bands.
I ❤️ sidewalls.
Every time I see a truck with those kinds of awful extra wide rims on them it looks to me like the truck was stepped on, and the bottom spread out. Looks terrible.
I had a 19 ram 1500 limited and never had a issue. Tires were measured at very close to new after 23k miles even. I have a trx now same thing. 11k mikes , march will be 2 years with it. Absolutely love that truck ! We have had ram 5500s since 11 with Cummins we trade em in every 5 years other then normal maintenance and tires never a issue and I currently on number 7 and 8 with them. The only trucks that ever given us issues is the Nissan NV25/3500 van and a 06 f550 we had back in the day with a 6.0. She had 3 different turbos during ownership.
Good review. Tires, rims & exhaust are just owners choice, looks nice & sounds good but I agree that it does tend to make longer driving uncomfortable. Never a bad thing to do oil analysis regularly.
I previous owned the 2018 f150 Lariat 5L coyote I put 200km on it before I traded it in for an F350 I will say this my f-150 always ran great but also sucked up 1.5liters of oil for every 5000km +/- I would buy another one for sure hopefully the latest gen don't burn oil like my 18 did
Thanks for posting guys!
My oldest boy had 2021 f150. It spent more time in the dealership for recall issues and the dashboard going dead.... traded it off for a '13 duramax. Issues resolved
When you drain the oil, rotate the plug until it releases and then pull it back just far enough to get flow. You can set there and hold it for the entire time your draining it or I've seen guys cut a small piece of pvc pipe that fits over the drain plug just long enough to butt up against the trans cooler and hold the drain plug at the perfect position for a controllable drain. It is a little inconvenient but it beats splattering oil all over the trans cooler and the ground.
Man, this is a great endeavour. REALLY enjoyed this and would help me choose a new vehicle based on how it previously performed (oil analysis for engine and real owner feedback etc)
2020 5.0, 3.55 rear end with 22k miles. Flawless so far. Only thing I wish I had was the 3.73 gearing. I tend to lock out 10th gear in the TX hill country to keep it closer to the power band. Lugs or downshifts a lot in 10th unless I’m on perfectly flat roads.
Those rims 🤣 I thought Canadians were more sensible than that
Nice job man, as a 2018 f150 xlt 5.0L owner I was curious if u would find anything I didn't know... I figured the sway are out first oil change... but the burning oil was very common the first 3 years n now year 4 it has stopped.. weird. Thanks for the great content. See you next time.. let's go!
Very cool - thanks Rich. And the bronco in the background pre-engine blowup - nice touch. (here's comes the Coyote)
Good driving review, nice to include mpg, the ability to service or even check fluid on trans on most makes is a pain and expensive.
Only issue I've seen with these, the oil pan leaks, I think there may be a recall to get it fixed, and that might be the plastic oil pan Ecoboost, but in my experience all the plastic oil pans leak, from the 6.7's al the way down to the v6's. Watch out and be careful of that, also if you own one it's a good idea to get the plastic replacement drain plugs, that gasket and plastic always get weak.
I would have liked a moderate towing test. Maybe a 4K load on a 2K trailer. Something common that most would tow. How the truck handles the weight, Sway, shifting in the powerband.
Great new content. Would be a very nice series to see continued.
I've had a 2013 tundra, a 2012 ram, and just got a 2015 5.0 f150 lariat 502a. Hands down the best truck I have owned. I love the tech, I love the 5.0, I love the space. The only thing I dislike is the gas mileage;)
Great job Rich 🙂 Nice balanced review and I learned things. Pretty sure that the commute to Blighty and that my Volvo C30 D5 is 15 years old kinda means I can’t play along though 😆 Looking forward to the next review 🙂🤟🏼
I am 100% with you on that one. Wheels and exhaust must go. I just bought a new Silverado and opted for the single exhaust, the duel pipes sound nice but will drive me nuts on a long road.
With that 5.0 screaming at 4000 rpm towing something would drive a person insane
Agreed, I had an 18 5.0 F150 with stock exhaust. Towing a trailer and RZR with it was plenty loud, no thanks on aftermarket exhaust 👎🏻
My 2019 5.0 10 speed f150 had the trans pan crack and cause it to overheat sporadically. Also had the ac start draining in the passenger front floorboard. Both issues happened around 75k miles.
I did the leveling kit and alignment so I’m very happy you like the front suspension 😂
That exhaust works as an Eco Mode cuz you'll never want to step on gas
I have a 2018, 5.0 cc 6.5’ bed. Fantastic truck, zero issues, 100% I’d buy the exact same truck again Great review
Thanks for the input!
They probably put the drain plug behind the sway bar on purpose to prevent quick change oil change guys from using tools on the plug and breaking the plastic pan
so you're telling me they intentionally designed it poorly to make up for the fact they used subpar materials
@@daslynnter9841 Possible, but let's be real- quick-change boys fuck up steel just as easy as composite. Torque spec is always in ugga-duggas
Most of those plastic plugs I see don't have the tit for removal, usually a 3/8s drive sized recess so you can get the impact on it 👌
@@typrus6377 we aren't all retarded, I work at the best quick shop in town, shop isn't pretty, there are crackheads literally everywhere but we're always busy because we don't tell you a fluid should be blue when it's red, have open honest conversation with our customers and try not to make them spend money on things they don't need. Tire repairs make alot of money, plugs we usually just send people on their way for free and most will throw you a 20 for it anyway bead cleans valves and patches I usually ask for a 20 cash but if they don't have cash just tell em to think of us when they're due for the next oil change.
@@twigglykevin Bud, there are ALWAYS exceptions. But they call it Grease Flunky for a reason. The amount of fuck-ups out of those chain quick-lubes is insane. Does that mean everyone who works there is a bum? Hell no! But the majority are. Whether because they just don't give a damn, or are stupid, or are in too much of a hurry, it doesnt matter. Junk work is junk work. 1 or 2 good shops in a hundred isn't enough to change the general perception, but it usually is enough to keep the good ones crazy busy.
Thank you for the review. Good information. I wonder what kind of fuel mileage I get towing I heard that they get pretty bad even towing a side-by-side and a small trailer?
I have a 2018 F150 XLT, CrewCab, 5.0, 10R80, 6.5 bed FX4, I still love this truck, mine only has 24k on it.
Oil issue was dipstick and reprogram the PCM to fix.
Great video and great idea to review vehicles this way
I have 2020 3.5 King Ranch all good! The only time I have rough or harsh shifting is when I have old fuel. That 36 gallon tank lasts a long time. After 30 days I do notice the shifting. Fresh fuel, and it is not an issue. I am getting 19 MPG over all, heavy on city driving
My 2020 loaded lariat is burning oil like crazy. Ford has had my truck since 6/14/22 and is going to replace the engine under warranty. Sounds great. Problem is they still have no idea when the engine is coming. I’m trading it in for a 3.5.
I bought a brand new 2020 F-150 with the 5.0 in 2020. I have had NO problems EXCEPT, I’m noticing about 1-2 qt of oil loss at 3.000 miles.
Wow
Get a Ronin drain plug for more controllable oil draining.....and a magnet. The stock non led headlights are way too dim. Add some brighter led bulbs or some aftermarket morimotos. They make a huge improvement for night driving.
Two was to get a better oil sample are #1 live sample thru a preinstalled sample port or#2 to use the dipstick tube and a oil sample vacuum pump
My wife likes the sound of exhaust, but building custom exhaust for a living has made me appreciate stock quiet mufflers especially at 70 .
Is that why she married an exhaust guy?
@@agy234 she married me when I was 18 and we didn't have a pot to piss in ,but I did have a cool 57 Chevy with loud pipes!
@@althomas6496 Good to know she married you for your 'pipes' :) Congrats on 52 years of marriage! These days 52months might seem like a long time for some.
Rich, it would also be interesting to hear your opinion on some of the older vehicles out there that you see foe sale everywhere at all the discount car lots. Like the 2000-13 Chevy Tahoe, Dodge Caliber, 2010ish Ford Explorer... There's a TON of them out there for sale, but are any of them worth a damn...
I agree with You that Exhaust System is Way too loud and a loud Exhaust System will also cause your vehicle to vibrate... He should have had the Exhaust System coming out the back of the truck instead of the side. That would have helped the loudness and some of the vibration the truck was having...
Great review, looking forward to more like this
Rich - I have a 2020 f-150 with the 5.0L. It has several recalls oil consumption and I here valve train noise on acceleration ford can’t explain. I am adding a oil catch can to the PVC system to see if it helps. I also noticed oil soot on tailpipe.
I live in the buffalo ny area.
Good info for the truck buyers out their . Might you do your next one on a 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Hemi
Great video! I am 55 and I love the exhaust sound…I guess I need to start maturing 😂😂😂. I have an MBRP on my Focus ST.
At work we have a regular cab w/ the 2.7 eco/10spd and it is the roughest riding 1/2 ton I've ever been in. We have 2 crew cab 3.3/6spd and they ride very smooth.
Wheelbase has a lot to do with the ride
I have a 2019 SuperCrew 4wd with the 5.0 and 3.73 gears. 47k miles and factory stock in every way. At 77mph cruise on level ground with no wind I can count on 19.5 mpg. Any headwind at all, though, and it quickly drops into the high 18's. Knock it down to 67 mph and economy jumps to 21.5 - 22 mpg. In town I regularly get 18+ mpg, but I'm pretty chill (my wife says I drive like a 90 year old on Valium).
With the deeper diff gearing and insanely steep 1st to 5th gear ratios, it's hotrod-quick off the line. Let it eat and it will easily break the tire loose in the first few gears. It also means even the slightest bit of moisture or dust on the road results in low-speed traction issues. It's so comfortable we use it as our road trip vehicle even though my wife has a much better equipped leather-trimmed lux sedan.
No probs except for the ubuquitous rear leaf spring isolator pop. Isolators were replaced twice under warranty and it always comes back after a while. I just ignore it now.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely.
Thanks a ton. In the market ford this exact truck. Wasnt sure what motor was better. Thrilled with the answer tho.
What's up with good tuning? Where's that vid?
I own a 20 F150. Love the 2.7 with 50,000. miles. I’ve done nothing to it. Nothing except regular maintenance!
Had a New 2018 5.0 and the 10R80 trans was definitely a big gripe. Hesitant shifting, hard shifting, can’t tell you how many times I called the dealer to have them diag it. Flashed the tcu TWICE, and it would still go back. Loved it other than the trans.
did you sell it because of the issues?
I love the 10R80 in my 18 5L. Silky smooth, and responsive as a straight up mofo. Willing to downshift in ways I've not seen before in an auto tranny, but at the same time in a way that's less annoying when talking gear hunting than it is with most 6 speed auto vehicles. It's really quite impressive. I was looking at a L87/10L80 truck, but the transmission performance compared to 5L/10R80 killed it for me. Leave it GM to tune a truck with 10 gears, and not want to use them, but instead try, and force the engine to lug it's way up to speed. Crazy how different these two transmissions which are identical other than the tune and bell house pattern actually feel.
I basically got the same truck except crew cab 6.5 box and it’s been solid so far at 60,000km only issue I had was my passenger window switch had to get changed
Nice, just got my unaffordable 2022 XLT with 5.0l with a slight last model year discount off of MSRP. Curious if you were going to own a car for 20years at what mileage would you do your initial oil changes? I'm looking at ~750, ~2250 & 5000miles, then every 5000miles for life. Oil is cheaper than an engine so any thoughts? Also, change filter every 5k as well, or filters at 10k miles?
3.5 ecoboost 2020 XLT 4X4, tow a camper 29,000 miles, no issues at all so far. Change the oil with Full synthetic every 3 to 5,000 miles.
A good honest review Rich.
For the engine oil drain issue.. Flexible funnel. Works good.
I was thinking some sort of U shaped tube to control the flow.
One very important flaw, speaking from experience in cold weather the rear crew cabs door locks freeze up and have issues unlocking and latching the door. Fantastic truck, but a very annoying flaw when trying to get to work on time
Thanks for the info and content.
That's a really good concept !
I’ve got the 2020 3.5 ecoboost 4x4. Bought brand new. I’ve got almost 43k miles on it. Zero issues so far. I’ve hauled big loads coast to coast. It’s been a great truck.
I just bought a used model it seems similar to yours (XLT, Supercab, 4X4, 3.5TT) with low miles...am loving it but wish I could squeak a couple more mpg's out of it...maybe I need to put it in eco...any tips?
@@jrwilsonsr my average is 20mpg. I do have a canopy topper which I’ve read can make a difference in drag. It recommends premium gas which I also use.
I have the same exhaust on my crew cab
It's worth noting that there is zero sound deadening on the back of the XLT/XL trim f150s of this generation.
Also the sliding rear glass is so thin that I can't tell the difference, in noise, between open or closed.
Ya, those stretched tires don't do it for me... Actually, in Manitoba, those tires sticking out past the fenders would get you a ticket in short order. Nice truck otherwise.
Drain plug there is a unit online to replace with an better one that has a piece that allows you to divert the oil and control the flow like a faucet
Nice video! You should make a video of a 2020 Tundra.
yea stretched tires all froggy style is weird to me about all i see wrong
Nice that Ford Paints the Frames our 2018 Chevy Work truck is already looking ruff, and it doesn't get daily driven in the winter.
Neat stuff. Enjoyed watching 😎 👍.
Love my 5.0. 2015 Lariat, SuperCrew Cab (4 full door) FX4 and 6.5ft bed. Only issues I've had with it so far (102k miles, 7 yrs old) are diff pinion seal and transmission/tcase output seal which just started weeping recently, a wire in the heated/cooled seats module (easy fix just had to add another ground to it), and an alternator which seized up after sitting 2 weeks recently, but thats probably because my aftermarket bumper has a spot where the salt can hit the front of the engine which I need to fix. I've done probably 15k of those miles towing trailers from 1500lbs (boats, jetskis, motorcycles, etc - 750kg) to my 24' enclosed with a car in it weighing around 7700lbs (3500kg). No issues with the window seals, still amazingly quiet in the cabin for any car but especially for a pickup at 75mph on the highway. The Lariat does have more sound deadening though I think.
As for gas mileage, I usually get around 16mpg with all the hills around here, 13 towing the 1500lbs and anywhere from 7.5-9.5 towing the 7700lb enclosed. I get 9.5 pretty consistently towing 7000 (dodge woods truck) on an open trailer, so aero of the trailer really matters. I do 65-70 while towing usually. If I'm driving 65 with no trailer, I can get up to about 23mpg in some areas, but usually more like high 18s to low 19s.
Pro-tip to anyone who wants to hear these trucks more, get the K&N intake. It's quiet when you're just cruising (same as stock), but SUPER loud inside and out when you put the hammer down. Sounds great but with all the towing I do in northeast US and the hills I'll be pulling a long hill in 3rd gear (6spd) and it got annoying so I went back to stock after around 10k.
Yes to supercrew with a 6.5 ft bed in the 150 series to be able to carry more than a wheelbarrow does! My 2015 Lariat with the Coyote gets very similar mileage to what you mentioned... almost like it's the same truck ;) 276,000 miles now, and have had some repairs along the way, but nothing really unexpected for the mileage. Both rear wheel seals leaked all over the rear brakes (both the shoes and calipers), trans cooler lines rusted out at the heat exchanger on the front cross member, rad hose o-ring started weeping, and water pump bearings started whining. Only odd thing I would say was a blend door actuator went bad. I love the quiet, smooth (stock suspension) ride as well as the capability towing!
@@danielbremner7805 l
try 90 degrees Celsius if you go west a bit, less rust though
Dude complaining about paint problems, then runs wide tires and no mud flaps.
Edit, there are mud flaps, just way to small to be any help.
I hate the quick release oil plug . That thing woud keep me awake at night worrying.
No way it will last the life of the engine.
I strongly agree. I started sweating when I saw that... Also looks like it may be weeping a touch.
I'm a Chevy fan, and have a 2020 Silverado 1500, 5.3, double cab. Had I seen this, I would have considered the F150. Painted frame and aluminum body are pretty tempting living in NS, Canada. I do get better L/100km though even with just the 8 speed, leveling kit, slightly oversized tires, and no air damn, I'm at 12. I've got a Flowmaster Super 10 on and it's just right IMO.
I have a 2020 F150 Crew cab 4x4. It's the same color as this one, I have the 2.7L V-6. The truck consistently will give me 22 to 23 mpg average. Local driving I have got as high as 26 mpg. I only have 20,000 miles on it , I have had zero problems. I under coated the truck with Texaco Grease coat when I bought it so the bottom is excellent. I have seen 2021 Chevy frames that look like they have seen several winters and are all rusted. Anybody that has a new Chevy wants to keep track of the ground cable on the frame to cab on the passenger side front. They corrode and will lose ground after only 2 to 3 years and cause all kinds of electrical problems with everything! Personally I have always been Chevy/GMC but was sick of trying to stay ahead of the rust issues.. So far I am loving my FORD.
My 15 with the 3.5 Ecoboost has been great with 148k. But now its in the ahop for all the coolant lines and fittings on the turbos. I got lucky as they usually leak way before that. Unfortunately its not a cheap fix
Got a 2016 F-150 4X4 with the 5.0 and the 6 speed auto transmission. It was made for the Canadian market so it was bought in Canada, and made it's way the the USA. It has the TXR package witch is only available for trucks on the Canadian market. It gets 21 MPG with the drive line combo it has which includes 3.31 rears. Rides real smooth with stock suspension.
I wish mine got 21 mpg, also a 16 5.0 4x4 with the 6 speed auto. Don't know what the rear gears are, but it's also a crew cab 6.5 foot bed Lariat. I usually sit around 16 with mine, which is mixed highway and town driving.
21 MPG sounds nice! I have a 2015 loaded Lariat crew cab with the coyote, 6.5 ft bed, 3.31 gears, FX4, and am averaging between 17 and 18 mpg. On county roads with a 55 mph speed limit I can easily get more like 22 - 24, but most of what I do is a decent mix of highway and in-town. Oh, and just tripped 276,000 miles earlier this week :)
I would like to see a review on the same rig but with the 3.5 ecoboost motor
I’m a big fan of loud exhaust, but now that I have kids I appreciate a quieter aftermarket system.
Got 2019 RAM 1500 Lariat with 23K, awesome ride, comfort and hemi power ALL STOCK for testing.
I really like my 2016 f150. I have a heavier foot and average 15 MPG highway. Frame is still looking good for Michigan and only reason I am looking to upgrade is because I'm beyond maxing out the 1/2 ton. I need to get a middle of the road 3/4. It has held up to my abuse well.
If you get the payload package in the F-150 it will be better on fuel when not towing and still haul a good load.
Nice watch..great info, tks!
Just got a 2020 f150 with 20k miles and had to take back to the dealer for warranty on the transmission. Shifts really hard sometimes with a metallic sounds
Awesome series! 💪
Still going with my 2015 f150 lariat 116000km so far....starting to look at new ones now
For oil change I use aluminum foil and build a cone to cause the oil drain down - less mess - are not the sway bar bolts “no retorque”
Agreed get rid of those wheels, tires and exhaust ha! probably get better fuel mileage too. Probably the best gas engine you can still get for the F150.
Do you prefer asymmetrical hoist or symmetrical? For cars up to full size trucks?
Wished I'd have known about this my 16 silverado just went through a big fix without my knowledge of foreseeable issues
I have a 2018 F150 5L Platinum with 103K miles. Seems to be in excellent condition.
I have 2018 F150 5L Platinum with 118k. No problems so far. 19 to 20 mpg hwy.
Try the Ram 2018 eco-diesel I have one have 109,000 miles on it just now broke in but it is my work truck getting now only 26 mpg because I put lager
