Hi
AutoVlog Why Ross Ford?
Man you honestly create some of the most entertaining and informative videos on CZcams, I’ve been watching you since you worked at the dealership, when you were mostly reviewing ford products. Huge props for all your amazing growth & success!
AutoVlog Great Review The 2018 Ford F-150 Platinum with the 3.0 Power Stroke is absolutely amazing Truck
AutoVlog You honestly make some of the most entertaining and informative automotive videos on CZcams. I have been subscribed since you worked at the dealership reviewing ford products. Huge props for all your amazing growth & success
I think they should have made it available for lower trim levels to make it a better deal .
David RTD agreed, this pricing gets you into Super Duty territory
they do but only for fleets
stancedchannel yeah but that's restrictive and makes no sense because that power plant has a lot of benefits but it's locked away on the top of the range models or as a fleet vehicle. Ford should maybe rethink the position of that particular product trim to make it more accessible to the masses because that engine is so good .
rupasree bose yep might as well buy that instead , if they only make it available for lower trim levels that would be a great deal .
This isn't a robust and economical little engine that Ford wants going to the mainstream consumer, it's made cheaply, with a rear mounted belt-drive HPFP and has been ripped out of a Land Rover. In reality, it's just a marketing stunt. You want this engine.
I am getting 25.6 mpg town and highway. 27.1 from Sacramento to downtown L A. Also uses about 5 gallons of DEF (emissions adaptive in separate tank) every 6000 miles. Super Crew fully loaded 4x4 Lariat. I love it!
Delete the restrictive emissions components and it will get more than 30 and you'll no longer need def fluid.
This is why I subscribed. My favorite old ford dealer doing great reviews on new vehicles. Love the vlogs, but more of these videos makes your channel legit. Thanks AutoVlog stay awesome!
You always have the best, honest reviews. Thanks for producing it, I’ve been waiting.
Great video!!! Informative, well-scripted, well-produced and insightful. Keep this videos coming!
YES!, Reviews have made a comeback!!!. Btw good review on the Diesel engine. keep up the great content!
just got home from a crazy fishing night to a new vid awesome man
Great review Mike! Back to your channel’s roots! I love it
Love your vehicle reviews. You helped me when it came to buying my 2016 ford explorer xlt w the 301 package. Thanks and keep it up 👍
OUTSTANDING review, been subbed to you but i'm actually in the market for a truck while i'm here serving in iraq. Was very curious about the diesel f150 and this laid out all the details as well as pros and cons PERFECTLY. Thanks so much and don't ever stop making videos brother! 😎
I can’t wait to see you do a 2019 Ford Ranger review, Mike.
Nice buddy, probably the first review (at least I seen) on the Powerstroke...great review!
Oh and Mr. Auto Vlog, your sound tracks are awesome!!👍
I missed these kind of reviews! 😊
I started watching your channel way back when when you did one on a Fiesta
Glad to see more!
Idk if I would get the mini Powerstroke as it would take about 150,000 Miles to get a return on the fuel mileage, but I commend Ford for offering it. I’m sure for some people it will be ideal.
It’s a good engine that’s been used to a few years in Land Rovers
(And no matter what engine you get in an F-150, it is a damn nice truck!)
Take care!
Good review Mike. Glad to see you coming back to your youtube roots with a new truck review.
Great review ! 👌 this truck looks like a beast
I've been a sub for some time now and would like to say thank you for the reviews on fords.. Keep up with the great work..
You made it very clear for me as a 2012 eco boost owner, I'm going with another eco boost . Thank you
Just got home from work. Night upload for the win! 🔥🔥🔥✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
I'm partial to the 5.0 coyote as I think its the best all-around engine with the greatest flexability/mods, but I can certainly see the advantages of a desiel. If I was going to work an f150 I'd get the desiel.
Just bought the 2018 F 150 platinum with the 3.5 ecoboost on friday.
Went to pick it up and it was around 800 km (500 miles) trip in a nice mix of traffic, from very heavy to almost none.
Cruise control used when I had the chance at our legal speed limit (60-65mph) and I was plesantly surprised that the average fuel use was lower than I had expected due to the traffic.
I averaged 12 liters per 100km or 19.6mpg or there about..
This included an hour or two of very heavy slow going traffic with lots of idle time, highway and city driving. So lots of spirited "road rage" overtaking going on as well hehe.
I also have the truck on some 35" and not the stock 33" tires.
Also... holy crap the comfort.. ooooooh the comfort!
Its like a cozy sofa on wheels!!
Those shots in the beggining are straight fire!
How did just find this guy. This video quaility is great I like this! Keep it up dude
i'm not really a fan of diesel but the truck is gorgeous and i loved this review of it. wow and it really nice when you start a vehicle and you barely hear it. that to me is a sweet thing.
Excellent informative video, very articulate well done Sir, from the UK.
that 3 liter makes almost as much as the old 7.3 with 250 hp and 500 ft pounds of torque. It’s impressive to see how far trucks have come
I like the music in the background as love the F150 Platinum beautiful truck.
GREAT VIDEO, YOU BROUGHT OUT SOME VERY INTERESTING FACTS. I ENJOYED THE VIDEO.
Great intro song, man. 10/10
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the diesel F-150. Been waiting to see what people think about it. I'm still waiting for my dealership to get one in.
Excellent review of this amazing truck love the trim keep up the great work can't wait to see the new what if videos with the Chevy the real beast lol
Awesome review! I’m leaning 3.5 Ecoboost V6 engine. The cost to get the 3.0L PowerStroke Diesel motor is just too much with the Ecoboost being a cheaper option and available in the lower trim levels.
I wanted an ecoboost but I went with a 5.0, I dodged a bullet forsure
Really pretty truck and the fuel mileage will improve, I drive a 4X4 2016 Ram 1500 ECO Diesel and I average 22 mpg steady around town here in Central Texas, also have taken three trips to California and averaged 28 mpg and above. If you plan on traveling a Diesel is worth the investment.
ricky safer And Ram puts there Ecodiesel in the lowest level truck they offer.... 5 model years ago. I’ve always been a ford guy. My 15 ecoboost made me think about the other side. My Ecodiesel gets 32 mpg’s on the highway, and 26-27 daily driving. Ford has a long way to go.
I love my 18 Ecodiesel, it's laramie trimmed 4wd already lifted 3" I average 21.5 around town and 27 on the highway here in the mountains of NC.
ricky safer I had the eco diesel and at 100k mpg dropped tremendously and after 100k that thing started breaking down every 5 miles if it wasn’t egr it was dpf was a great truck till it hit 100k
That "ecodiesel" is a Mercedez engine and extremely expensive to repair and maintain as are most diesel. But in my experience, Mercedez takes the cake on cost of any repairs.
Good video, I love my 3.5 ecoboost with the 10 speen transmission. I have averaged 19.3 mpg on my f150. I am at 7500 miles.
Awesome video Mike!
nice vid man keep the good work 👍
Hell yeah I'm going to build mine platnuim in the magnetic grey with the 6.5 ft bed. Going on a 8 inch. Bds front suspension. Lift and air ride in the back can't wait !
Thank you for your honest and educated review. I love the F-150 and am planning on buying one in the coming years as my family grows. The genesis of my logic into potentially buying the diesel option is because I would like to have it for over 15-20 years...and diesels are built for that longevity in terms of mileage. Am I incorrect?
Thanks for the great video!
This review by you Mike is definitely "Best in Class". Thanks for sharing your thoughts on if a diesel is necessary or viable in a light duty truck like the F-150 and worth the 3k option. I can't wait for the diesel in the 2019 Silverado. I thought the truck was black when I seen it in on your Instagram. In my honest opinion the facelift on the F-150 makes them the best looking Ford truck aside from the new Raptor that I have seen.
It is a bummer that you can only get the Baby Powerstroke in the King Ranches, Platinums, and Lariats. Fuel economy and low end torque for towing up and down mountains are the only advantages for the 3.0L Powerstroke vs the 3.5L EB (which in those trims is most likely standard.)
the reason people pick the 3.0L is for towing long distances, the MPG, or if you are a diesel or die kind of guy
Luis Perez Price of this truck you could get a f250 lol
oONoChanc3Oo no shit. put this.in an xlt itll be a market share. but for the cost, an xl or xlt 250 psd is easily an option
the main question is does Ford back this engine up with a nice warranty or just the 3yr/36 mil which is lame....Give me a warranty that will back the truck up like bumper to bumper/100K then we talk!
@@johnD862the 3.0 Powerstroke has a 10/100,000 warranty package.

Great Review what you are paying for is a longer last motor but the downside is oil changes and upkeep cost more. I will stick with my 5.0 coyote .V8.
Then, why are you on here watching a video about the new 3.0L PowerStroke?
Hi Mike great review, good video,
Good video, the Power Stroke is what I'd get if I could afford it. The engine will hold up better in the long run.
Brother has the same engine in his Land Rover. Loves it.
Damn this was a great video 👍🏽
Makes a big difference towing I tow a boat get 21MPG on my 150 diesel same boat used to get 13MPG on a 2017 f150 eco boost
Love e your review. I still think the 5 liter is a good engine in the 150. I now have the super duty 7.3 and love it.
John Henry 5.0 coyote is the best engine ever.
John Henry my neighbor has a 99 f150 power stroke 7.3 with 290k miles. He is a proud owner, he bought the truck new back in 2000.
5.0 is a great engine, for the Mustang. Just not the greatest engine for towing, such a damn narrow powerband way up in the rpm's
John Henry The Coyote V8 is my favorite V8 engine Ford has ever made.
cheeznhard But with the new 10-speed and the added power torque I think it'll do fine but I do see you're point.
I went from a 15' 5.0L to this new 3.0L Diesel and do not regret it one bit. Fuel economy is far better especially if you have over sized rim/tires like I do. There is virtually no L/100K difference from stock(275/55/20) to 305/60/20. My 5.0L felt the difference, went from 12.5 l/100k over 14. My 3.0 gets 10.5 average with the big boots. Plus when I pull the trailer(5000lbs) every other weekend for racing my wallet doesn't get hit nearly as hard as with the 5.0L. For me more money up front was a no brainer since this thing pays me back over the long run. The only thing I miss from the 5.0L is the rumble, nothing sounds like a V-8 but its a small sacrifice.
Great job. Good points about the diesel
I wish I had more time to view your videos, but I just started driving big rigs now a couple months ago. I always enjoy your videos whenever I get a chance to see them and this one here is definitely no exception. Please continue the awesome work you do. Your video editing skills continue to impress me after every video as well.
My 2.7L STX just pulled my 5500lb trailer through the Monashee mountains here in BC Canada...with out breaking a sweat. It pulls like a diesel.
Nice addition to already rich engine lineup in the F150 i guess. The reason why You pick a Turbo Diesel engine, at least here in Europe is the good MPG, especially when you make a lot of mileage yearly and its ability to endure high mileages. It pays off in some cases basically. Also from a guy who owned couple of them, I just love the dynamic characteristics of diesel, that you don't have to beg it to drive, it just moves :) from the very low of the RPM scale. Here where I live diesel fuel is even cheaper than regular gasoline so the engine choice between diesel and gasoline is still relevant. Nice video Mike ! All the best to You
Well done review.
Your a good speaker man 🙌🏼
Great review, I honestly believe they're not going to sell many of these engines until they offer it in the xl or xlt trim levels and most level headed people wont buy one until Ford has had them out for a while and gotten rid of any major flaws that may arise. 6.0l 6.4l for example. Offering a more fuel efficient engine wont do anybody any good if they cant afford the truck as a whole. Extremely interesting film though.
That's one terrific looking Ford F-150 truck
Nice video, this truck might not be relevant to your market, but in places like Canada where the Diesel is cheaper than any grade gas, it perfectly makes sense.
Thanks for the great review, but I'd get the 3.5 twin-turbo in the F-150 and the V8 Powerstroke in the F-250.
This video makes me proud to be a Kansin, regular 87 unleaded is at 2.50 a gallon and hasn't been above 3 since like 09
stupid how you can get this engine in a lower trim, good video as usual, keep up the awesome work!!
Really enjoyed the quirks and features of this truck Dou-
Oh shit wrong channel
I waited for this engine to be released by Ford prior to purchasing an F150 this year and honestly, I chose the EcoBoost 3.5L with the MaxTow package and 36 gallon tank for my needs over the baby PowerStroke. Even with premium fuel, the extra cost associated with DEF, diesel oil changes, additional cost of fuel filters and anti gel additives in the winter make the cost to operate in the long run about the same. Plus, I have less maintenance items on the EcoBoost which means more time polishing and less time wrenching.
I would love for you too do a re review after 3 years of owning one I do and I love it
Great video
Great point Mike. It's the diesel we've been asking for but it's only there just to say it's there. It's not an Everyman's engine and it doesn't make much sense.
So mike, would you take this engine over your 5.0?
You should see if you can do a comparison with the Ford, the Silverado, and the RAM 1500.
It's a gorgeous truck and probably suits the "diesel fanatics " . Still I would buy a Super Duty with a Powerstroke if towing and hauling regularly.
if only towing ~8k or below on a regular basis then this truck would be the better fit. It would do the same thing a super duty could, but cost less and get better mpgs (or at least it should anyways)
Considering that it is only offered on high level trims to us normal consumers, but on lower trims for fleet - the engine option is primarily aimed at fleet operations which would probably be the most likely to benefit from a diesel engine.
Damn Mike you’ve been hitting the gym, I see you my guy
But the guy was ok
I had a 5.0 2018 loved the truck great power but when pulled my 19 ft ranger boat my mileage fell from 23.5 to as low as 15 mpg this 2019 3.0 diesel goes from 25 to 23.5 pulling it at highway speed of 65 mph I love the power of it its is a great engine
Greg B
I gave 56k it was 2500 higher than a gas Lariat it has all the bells whistles
Greg B
Ford say that the eco boost will out pull the 5.0 but it doesn’t get as good fuel mileage as the 5.0 pulling I prefer a V8 over V6 my friends have the eco boost and pulling gas mileage goes way down in to 5 and 6 mpg
Me personally prefer a V8 in the gas engine but I am a old school guy
I get 19mpg commuting to work in traffic and 23mpg (with 3 x dirt bikes in the back) on highway with the 2.7L ecoboost in my xlt.
I do love diesels but not worth the extra money over gas unless you are doing crazy milage. My dream is the 2.7 with the 36Gl tank!
its fro towing idiot
As a college student. Im definitely going to test drive that Ford. I may go for Raptor for summer 2019. Great video. :D
$60k is reasonable price. Not bad.
Rolling Coal !! LOL
How do you have money being in college? Parents money.
For the way I use my truck, this makes sense. When I do a business trip (two to three times a month) I run 10 hours minimum, all hot, three to five days, average 1600 miles, gotta have 4wd, 8 ft. bed, cruise and air. I could enjoy the legendary diesel reliability ,but this is targeted at soccer moms and grocery getters. Running cold miles like that you just as well put targets on the grille where each bank of cylinders is and draw down on them with your six shooter and see how many cylinders you can lay waste to with each shot. Maybe if injectors were free and you could replace them yourself from the drivers seat it might make sense the way most people use their personal transportation equipment.
I bought one of the first f1i50 diesels that arrived it is akin crew cab 4wd I tow 9000lbs with it all the time fuel mileage is great about 19 with that load empty I get 30mpg all the time I have about 20000 miles on the truck I love it very happy with the baby powerstroke
Curious how you got these numbers. Seems unrealistic for 4wd going 70mph down the hwy. Maybe it's momentarily going downhill. It can't be the average.
Well you can belie e it or not but these are the numbers that I see I reset the fuel mileage when ever I take a trip and this is what I am getting
I have had very good luck and no problems with my 2015 ecodiesel other than maintenance cost. I'm sure the little power stroke and ecodiesel are not that different. The small diesel fits my needs and gets good mileage. We went from NH to FL and back with four people and all of our gear and averaged 29mpg. I'm sure the Ford is the same or better.
Awesome video
Mike is totally right about this being a numbers game. How long will you keep the vehicle? How many miles will you put on it? What will your towing MPG be? What will it be worth at trade in time? If you were already buying a lariat anyway, the 3k option isn't that big of a deal, and the fuel savings will equalize at 75k miles or so, give or take. I think Ford added this option because they heard GM was adding a diesel to it's new truck lineup. The marketing department couldn't bear to let GM have something they couldn't offer.
As a 2015 ford lariat f150 fx4 owner I absolutely love the truck. I was excited to see ford come out with a new diesel engine. But I was expecting it to be much better ratings than it came out to be. I was expecting it to haul a lot more than it does. I see the only good thing it came to be was feul economy. But I have a 3.5 ecoboost and I get about the same as a diesel does. And that's with a 6 speed. The new 2018 all have 10 speed transmissions. So hopefully ford will improve on their diesel and I always seem to find it better to not buy into the 1st gen engines of any model. Let them fix all the bugs first. But i still feel ford has the best in class truck hands down. They really make it feel very classy and enjoyable to drive. Thank you for your videos. I watch everyone.
No way! I know this comment is 4 years old but there's no way you were getting the same fuel economy as a diesel with a 3.5 Eco and 6 speed gearbox. I've owned that setup before and my highway economy was 14 L/100kms (16.8 MPG) on a good day driving normally. City driving was anywhere from 18 to 20 L/100kms (13 to 11.8 MPG).
In a 2.7 Eco w/ 10-spd I get about 13 - 14 L/100kms highway and 14 - 15 in the city under normal driving. I could squeeze a bit better economy if I really drove like a grandma but it wouldn't be that much better. This is on 87 octane btw.
@kobayashimaru8114 yeah man. When i first had my truck I was getting 21 to 22 mpg on highway. And about 17 to 18 mpg city. I still have the truck and now have 200,000 miles on it. I get about 15 mpg now. But i have a level kit, exhaust, and have the nitto ridge grappler tires on it. If I'm heavy on the gas though it goes down to 13 mpg. I also run 87 octane
That would sound awesome straight piped!
Our 2018 4x4 SuperCrew (125k miles) gets 33-36 highway (at 68mph) and 26-29 city. It exceeds the EPA mpg estimates like most light diesels do
You got a point. I would rather just stick with the regular eco boost gas version of platinum.
i didn‘t recognize the truck being red untill you mentioned it 😆 but very nice color 👌
I never realized AutoVlog was near Pittsburgh
Would be interested in a comparison between the Ford you had today and a comparison between a Ram with the in-line Cummins, thank you if possible. My choice for trucks is between Ford or Ram. Thank You for the time you have already spent.
They are more affordable now, I belive when gas goes up diesel keep its price and will be more easier to get incase of a gas shortage
Good Job
God bless you Mike 14:23 your *roll coal* remark has yours truly rolling in hysterics. I've got a friend in my Parish and Knights of Columbus Fraternity who loves to *roll coal* in his 2002 F-350 7.3L Power Stroke. Heading from Quantico to Leesburg, Virginia he was stomping the accelerator and leaving a tailgating crotch rocket in the coal mine.
Hey Mike , I think there trying to fill a gap in the line up but for the money your probably better off with a SD . It seems to a status quo in my opinion don’t get me wrong but there trying to stay ahead of the competition especially Ram not so much Chevy . But there are dropping the car line . More trucks and SUVs anyway great review on the that truck keep up the good work.
The reason is the CAFE standard. That's why chevy and dodge have experimented with the hybrid versions.
It's funny how many people complain about the cost, because they're clearly not buying this type of truck. Being the most popular truck in America, it seems like the price is just fine.
not mentioned was if there is a longevity advantage over a gas unit. the working truck and 5th wheel usage would be something to consider also.
My 5 litre Ford F150 XLT crew 4x4 has never got the mpg Ford says , If it gets 15 km per 100 . Whatever that is its not good . My old chev 5.3 V 8 extended cab 4x4 with 3 :73 gears get 24 mpg on the hwy . By the by the Ford has 3:55 gears . I don't know if the new diesel will do all , and your right anyone pulling trailers alot will move up to the 3/4 ton series . After all his like your video you "re starting to grow on me . Keep it up
Nice video
Ram 1500 does get 28 mpg in 4WD and crew cab. My Jeep Grand Cherokee gets 28 plus mpg. It makes no sense unless you are a diesel guy like I am. Nice review and things change when you see gas creep to 5 bucks a gallon...
bullshit.
Yeaaa Dawwwg!!! Great review man!! In my opinion the diesel is an awesome engine but it's not worth the $3k option when you can get a gas motor that can handle more towing.
the diesel is mainly available in standard pickups for fleet and trade sales, which is why Ford only offers it in the higher trim levels for normal buyers
@@brettt8246
Still dumb for Fird to do that.
Good video
The thing with the diesel is that within a year they will have plug and play tuners that’s ganna jump that Hp to 400-500 and that trq up 600-700 while keeping or improving mpg and reliability
I'm glad ford put a diesel engine in the f150. I was a little disappointed by the power numbers but its a start in my opinion. I wish it had more torque and hp, but thats just me. Also, I wish the powerstroke could be available across all models like the XL. You can get it for fleet in that trim level. It would be pretty sweet in my opinion to have a single cab short bed deleted powerstroke f150
