Wouldn't have been a bad idea to compare the '18 XLT to a '17 XLT, so that it would've been a direct comparison.
SBD47 like you know.. maybe a 17 XLT magnetic sport.
antho R ..The best truck always get incrementally better! Every truck guy knows best truck is F- series hands dwn! #Ford
NO that makes too much sense!
Just leased a 2018 F-150 XLT sport 5.0L with a 5.5ft bed and I love it. Best vehicle i've had.
That is a slick looking truck
LOL looks like same crap nothing to see here!
Josh Lawley
Junky Furd Turd
MORMONISMISNOTHING but a lie Yep. The best looking car is alwaaaaaaays the Toyota Prius
The C shape headlights looks stupid. And it probably stands for Chevy!
The 2015, 2016 & 2017 year models were the best looking front ends.
ford should have a badge for the 5.0 to differentiate it self
Definitely! But in the other hand, if you get the 5.0 you will have a very clean looking tailgate.
very true i just wished they had a line up like before have a couple of v8 options and ecoboost options
Considering the EcoBoost can tow more, has a higher top speed, and a faster 0-60 time. Having a badge to brag about having the 5.0 V8 is only saying to everyone how much you love wasting gasoline.
Why not do away with the V6 just a waste of money there. They did it with the mustang
strange I found new f150 4x4 with 5.0 and extra cab blown out in Texas $21.500! $40k around my area going to pass on new crew cab pass city!
I like the 18 stx package, with the honeycomb grill...No real reason just always been partial to it.
i still like the 16 and 17 models better than the 18's..i don't like the new headlights and tail lights..but i do like the new b&o sound system.
Those headlights took some getting used to, but I'm liking it now! I definitely love the ability to choose between 15 different front ends...
When I first saw the design, I didn't like it (although I still think that the 2017 Super Duty is the best looking truck IMO), but its grown on me and now I like the 18 better than the 15-17.
i love the super duty as well .
Graham Clarence the super dutys look amazing
yes they do.
By fixing a few details, the grill and the height of the bed, they have made this a perfect design!
4:34 why does it feel like I'm playing GTA 5?
Definitely ordering the 2018 F150!
looks really naaahhhce" the headlahhhhts look reealy naaaaahhhhce
well ford saying the diesel is only for the higher trim ruined it for me. if they dont offer in it in the xlt then not interested
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH one guy not going to buy LMFAO
atp1551 if you remember, they did the same thing with the big 6.2 motor.
uhhh yeah because i don't want to buy a $75,000 f150 just for the diesel when i don't need all the extra luxury.. and im sure you wouldn't want to spend 75k if you were just interested in the diesel either
atp1551 they're just trying so desperately to push their ecoboost on people and don't realize that people want raw, reliable V8s or diesels. none of this turbo crap
obama is ruining cars by his wishful-thinking CAFE standards. does he really expect that anything that is somewhat capable will reach that? hybrids only reach 50s on the freeway, let alone anything realistic
Just got my F-150 made the decision based on a lot of information I found on this channel! Thanks a lot!
That's awesome! Thanks
Congratulations, one of the first videos showing F150 2018 in dealer even that is not on sale yet.
Carlos Garza r
You guys put out amazing videos. I've read up on the changes with particular interest in the 2.7 & 5.0 engines, and so I pretty much knew everything you've presented, but your presentation is fantastic and thorough. Really good stuff! Like the new truck with the new tail gate and lack of chrome. I've got a STD cab, 2WD, 2015 with the 2.7. Chrome bumpers and aluminum wheels. I sort of like the front end of the '15-16's, but I really like the changes you can't see the most. Like 25 more peak Ft-lb torque coming 250 RPM lower on the 2.7, and the new, higher FE on the V8!
+Gregory Faulkner thank you! Glad to have you on our channel!
Looks great! Wish the grill on the STX and special edition packages was available on more trim levels though.
1:10 - That STX grille/trim is pretty damn sweet vs. all the bars on the others.
Still not used to that front end!! But I'd love to do a tailgate swap on my '16 😜
Can't wait till my 2009 f150 is paid off. Got my eyes on the 2018 ranch king 4x4 v-8 max tow and bed hauling, not to mention off road and real world mpgs Send me one down and I'll do a review on the west cost here in California. We can see then what a real truck can do.
They moved the ecoboost badges to the tailgate? Great, I had already been using their old layout to distinguish the garbage f150s (ecoboost) from the good ones (V8s). The flex fuel badges on the tailgates were clear indicators of a 5.0, but not anymore. I'll have to read the badges from a close distance (if I'm nosy enough and really want to know).
I like the new taillights,most people can't see the reverse lights from 14-17 models during the day,I wonder if they will be swappable with the new ones from the 18.
Also the different front ends make it awesome in the way you want ur truck to look..
Love the F150, but would consider a Ranger if I don't have to take out a mortgage to pay for it.
You'd have to be damned fool to want a diesel powered F150. The extra maintenance, clutter under the hood, and hassles that come with the exhaust cleaner aren't worth the little bit of fuel savings. The 2.7 L Ecoboost already gives you mph in the 20s. And if it's power you need, go with a Super Duty.
Clarence Aaron Jones -expensive to repair
Ed Molina Yep. I missed that one.
Maintenance evens out usually. while scheduled maintenance may be cheaper for gas, you usually have to take it more often, and include the price of tuneups. Most diesels can easily go 10,000 or more between service.
D Jay T While it is true the cost of preventative maintenance evens out as you say, the cost of repairs to a diesel engine is enormous. But it just depends on how you use it that matters. And my point is if what you need to do with your F150 requires a diesel engine, you should just opt for a Superduty.
The diesel will go 300,000 miles. And ecoboost won't even do half of that.
i cant be the only one to like the 2017 model more
Just bought a 2017 XLT at a big discount. They're trying to clear out inventory for the 2018s. Glad I didn't wait for the 2018 model.
Didn't happen to buy that at a dealer near Michigan did you?
I agree! The 2017 looks better. The headlights on the 2018 are stretched out too much.
Fools-both years are the same.
Baldemar Zuniga I like the 18 and now 19 better, but 17 are my second favorite. My dad likes the 17 better
Should talk more about the stereo system and the speakers
I preferred 2017's looks, and that's why i got it in June 2017. However, I do like the 2018's sports grill(s). The only thing i dont like on 2018 is the headlights. why did they have to stretch the headlights' top and bottom pieces into the grill!? it should've been short like the F250 and up. Anyway, i still like my 2017 xlt 4x4 5.0 (supercab).
Just got my 2018 F 150! 3.5 eco is the best!
7:05
Nice looking RS in the background
Where's the other guy
Other guy? Don't know about that one. But this one was a hottie.
Funny how this exact truck was at my Ford Dealership in Muscle Shoals the other day. Weird seeing it here now. Lol
MY FAV F150 WAS THE 2014 PLATINUM. THAT TRUCK WAS AWSOME
Good looking trucks!! I just can't wait to see the Ford Ranger.
in Australia they already got it
Hurricane800 I know but I can't wait to see it here.
It looks very similar to the Chevy Colorado---4 doors and a worthless, too short bed.
Just bought a leftover 16', glad the changes are not in my favor, thought I was going to have buyer's remorse. However, I wonder how they got 10 more hp in 5.0. And they got the 10 speed trans that I hear bad things about.
They added Port and Direct Injection.
Nice truck. And nice job the narrator done with explaining the truck. Always been a Ford man. Was disappointing to find out that the diesel is going to be limited in production.
Can't wait for the newly redesign Tundra Diesel coming in 2020!
I do not think that the ranger sales would affect the f150's sales much or if any it would just bring more people to ford from the rest of the mid size truck manufacturers. I also am really digging the 2018 f150s can't wait to see one in person.
I've always like f150s over 250s or higher. like the new f150, but the grill on the f250 is just soo beast looking. going to go with the 250. good video
This truck is beautiful inside
That's a nice look for the 2018 model.
I'm excited for the ranger to be released again.
dam boy you been hittin them weights huh
I'm a ford guy and I love ford. I had the lariat, king ranch and my last one was the 2012 platinum before I traded for 2016 Explorer sport. Although I love ford and I'm going back to pickup. I'm not sure if I get a ford pickup because they are getting too expensive these days so I'm looking at the ram and chevy but my heart says ford.
2018 and still running halogen reflector headlights...
popwarhomie About $1000 more for leds.
I didnt see the option when I built mine online with XLT trim. But I would rather do a projector retrofit anyways.
Halogen with fog lights isn't THAT bad. Certainly, and literally less of a headache for oncoming drivers.
popwarhomie where online did you build a 2018?
Fog lights are for fog. Not driving lights. Halogen reflector headlights are terrible. Ive done projector retrofits in all my cars that come with halogen headlights. My current Ford has HID projectors with the adaptive feature so they turn around curves but they still aren't even close to the Acura TL or Lexus RX350 projectors.
Nice comparison
I hope they do a side by side of every trim level.
redd7188 I imagine nothing much or at all has changed between the 17 and the 18 model years
Ian Keslar yes I agree but for design purposes I would like to see it.
I`ll take a Ranger and a F-150. Simply put- The Ford truck is the number one truck in the WORLD! It`s been the best selling truck for the last 40 years.
That sharkfin on top is very noticeable... Bugging me that it's not more sleek and centered. No option to change that?
According to the build your own 2018 f150 on fords website. You don't get a 36 gallon fuel tank option any more!! I don't want a tiny little 23gallon tank! Maybe it's just a typo. At least I hope it is! I don't want to refuel every 400mi! I always want 575mi+ range!
the 2018 is slick. I've seen them side by side at the dealer. The 2018 has a more finished look, but in person the 2017 has a meaner mug.
this is also not a fair comparison. One is all chromed out, while one is color matched, which always looks better in my opinion.
when are the domestic trucks going to offer headlight adjustment from inside the cab? Toyota has been doing this with the The tundra since the real full size one came out in 07 and Nissan has it in the new Titan. great feature to have when towing or hauling so you aren't blinding oncoming traffic and having everyone high beaming you because they think you have your high beams on. Also keeps more light on the road.
That’s a beyond looking truck
Great video guys! And details regarding the Ranger Raptor? My 2017 F150 Raptor needs a little brother haha
Is the 18 XLT shown in video the 'Lead Foot' color?
I believe you might be mistaken. From my understanding the F150 CAN tow more than the Silverado 1500. 2018 Silverado 1500 is rated to tow in the 12,000 pound range, while the 2018 F150 is rated to tow at 13,200 with the 3.5 Ecoboost. So the Ford can tow more than the Chevy, not vice versa.
correct me if I'm wrong, but the towing capacity sounded wrong. i don't think the 1/2 tons can tow 12,000 pounds. the 3/4 ton can tow that.
The 2018 F150 towing has been released. The 3.5L EcoBoost F150 can tow up to 13,200 lbs properly equipped.
Great to start to get some info. When is Ford going to release the Tow/Haul numbers? Guess by looking at that receiver, the rumor of getting a larger receiver on 150 is not. Can't wait to start to get info on the 2018 F250 too. Town and Country will be first.
Can't wait for the 2018 Expedition
ANonPaidAttorneySpokesperson its a bad boy.
I personally like the new look of the 2018 F150. I like the STX appearance package the best though. The grill is unique. 1:09 for ya
Question: if I want to get the option for 2H, 4A, 4H, 4L, do I have to go up to one of the higher trim levels or can I add that to an XL or XLT?
You can add 4a to an stx or XLT on f150forum.com
Nice review. I recently purchased a 2017 Platinum 701A and with other options. I am not sure that some of the features shared are specific to 2018 models. My 2017 does not have a shark fin on the roof but it does have Sync Connect--ahhh figured out the difference. The 2017 does not have the service option. You have to use your own hot spot but it will do the rest. The 2017 manual says I have a 5-year service to communicate with Ford Pass only. I noted differences in my personal search - the pedestrian warning added to the detection and the new look for the front and rear taillights only (Platinum) and leather colors - Marsala versus Brunello. Here's my rundown on the changes:
Frame -
Redesign on rear midrails and axle tubes/shafts
Increase of 1,000# in towing capacity
Engines - (no change if 3.5L engine selection)
3.3L V6 - ------------------2018
2.7L Ecoboost 2nd Gen--2018
5.0L Improved-----------2018
3.5L Ecoboost 2nd Gen
3.0L Diesel (Spg ’18)---2018
Transmission - (change dependent on model year trim)
6 or 10 spd in 2017
10 spd only in 2018
Technology -
Enhanced Adaptive Cruise with Stop and Go (3 seconds)
Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection
Enhanced Sync Connect adding WiFi Hotspot functionality ($10/mth)
Design -
Front Grilles on Trimlines
Rear Taillights Update
Tailgate stamping on some Trims
Paint choices, wheels and Interior colors
Any word on 2018 f250 platinum. What kind of changes and is it worth waiting for
do they make a pick up with out the wasted rear car seat and 8 foot bed? Or are the just SUV'S?
you said the diesal is only on higher trims, and it is expensive; would King Ranch fall under the Higher end trims you are talking about? and HOW expensive do you think they are talking? I mean the King Ranch (as i would have it equipped is a hair under $60k)
The 18 looks better. The grill isn't so big and stupid looking. The running gears are always good in a Ford.
Very nice truck.
i think the redesign , looks fantastic ...with one caveat...cant stand the stamped emblem on the tailgate, but thats by no means a dealbreaker
the XLT can opt for the BnO sound? XLT has the puddle light? wow, many more optional stand alones than the 15-17.
B&O is Lariat and above only. Just like the Sony sound was on the 2017 and older.
Hey, you left the bed light on. 😂
Has the 360° camera system been updated? Because the one on the Super Duty's look much better than the one on the 2017 F-150.
Is that silver Lariat yours? I’ve seen it in a couple of videos
Why did they replace Ruby Red with Race Red for the Raptor?! Ruby Red looks so much better!
the guy from the dealer is reviewing the truck? lmfao
Want to see the XL Sport or the STX model!!
Are y'all about to take orders for the 2018 yet. Can't believe ford still I swing the old headlights. You would if the xlt is the best trim package you would think it would have leds
ASK MITCHELL!:
What if scenario:
2018 F150 XLT 5.0 with 10 Speed transmission
Add: Southern Comfort package
Does Ford rate the new 10 speed capable of handling the addition of either an FRPP or Roush Supercharger?
Josh Lambert they have the same 10 speed in the camaro zl1 which is rated at 650 hp so im sure there wouldnt be a problem with added that to a 5.0 but thats just my 2 cents
I want the new Broncos with the 3.0l diesel
Would ford be willing to do a special launch of the ford ranger 2108.5 anf get the ford ranger out sooner then later?
I want to see the diesel f150 when it comes out
I bought a 2018 302A special edition XLT. It has factory rhino lined box link plates installed. I want to know if this truck should have come with the box cleats? Please let me know.
Can a 2016 F150 XLT tailgate be swapped out for a 2018 F150 so you can get the stamped F150 logo? If so any idea where you could pick up the new tailgate?
How much longer until we can take one home?
September is when they should start hitting lots.
You already got one, vato, it's on your profile picture.
wyanwn it's a joke
What is the difference between the roush f150 and shelby f150
Looks nice, I'm very interested to see the diesel the specs of it
I would love to get one but new vehicle prices have gone up to much.
Looking at purchasing a new 2018 or 2019 F150 King Ranch or a High Hat edition. Going with the Magma Red color with the 5.0 V8 engine.
Ford has always make best pick up trucks!! Will 2018 Ford F-150 have Column shifter? I hope for next redesign Ford Taurus that it will have bit influences from Ford F series pick up trucks.
XLT models without the Sport pack will.
Because I live by the Ford plant, I see these trucks everyday on the roads.. I've even seen the ranger lol.. I'm not a big fan of the front ends. I'd rather get a 17 f150 and call it a day...or I can wait until the next Gen Silverado comes out.
2018 f150 yes please, if only i had the money for it, till then i got a 97 f250 that will do
They should really help the v8 with a little boost not much but mabey a turbo
I've never seen a F250 review. Can you do a f250 6.2 full review.
Wonder if you will be able to retro fit that front in to the 2015-2017 f150. Like you use to be able to do with the f250s
is the 2018 F150 already at many dealers?
So did they get rid of the caribou color?
Only thing I don't like is the huge F150 on the tailgate
You can now build a 2018 on fords website. I built the truck I wanted. Fully loaded XLT regular cab short bed, 5.0l , 10 speed auto and 4x2. Just under $39,500.... WTF!
Sale Rep. Looking for a truck for jobsite travel. Which engine do you all suggest?
so beautiful. I don't want a supercar, I just want a sexy 2018 King Ranch with the ecoboost!
You said the hot spot is ATT. What if your phone is on a different service provider, or does the hot spot work independently from a phone?
It works independently.
Purchased a 2018 and the chime goes whenever driver door open unless ignition turned to ON. Does anyone know of a bypass for this?
when should we expect to see 2018 f150's to be at dealerships in the US? I also heard rumor of the 2018 5.0s on hold? anyone have info on this?
