2022 Ford F150 | The Truck Perfected
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 07. 2024
- We take a short look at the Ford F150 with the Tremor Package to dive into what has changed and why this truck is sold in the millions. With Americans obsessed with trucks, we used to question their usefulness and practicality. With this generation, they have smoothed out the rough edges and made it far more compelling than Silverado and neck and neck with RAM 1500. With the Toyota Tundra too new which would you choose?

The only channel where I watch videos on cars I am not remotely interested in, just because the content is that good.
I watch SG videos on vehicles I'm not interested in because I know Jack will try to get sideways in it, no matter what it is.
Literally just thinking this as I clicked on this video lol
Same, I come here for the upper-middle management tips and tricks for my next corporate overtaking.
Same! 👍🏼💯🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@dougrobinson8602 you and me both! Jack going full gorilla in that beast!
Thank you for being the ONLY auto journalist who said the new tundra reliability is now questionable. SG is the GOAT
uh... you haven't watched/read enough journalists then. cuz over half of them say it's questionable from all the ones I watched. So no, they're by far NOT the ONLY journalist.
Love how you guys freshen up your reviews up with your personalities and witty banter. Keep up the good work!
As a European, I've never understood trucks. But then I moved to US and understood - recently we bought a farm/larger property and found ourselves needing to tow and haul frequently. We tried our best to not have to get a truck, but had to. I am not here to explain to anyone why I have a truck, my point being is now I understand those that use it frequently and for that, I reaaaally like our F150 (albeit used 2017).
Europeans are generally dense about American culture, and Americans are generally ignorant or clueless about European culture. As someone from Europe who has lived the majority of my life now in America I still don’t get how Europeans don’t understand our need for trucks. We tow more, we drive much longer distances and at higher speeds, do more with our vehicles (skiing, hiking/camping, farm activity, shooting and hunting, road trips, DIY, etc.) and for Europeans to just dismiss those facts often times shows their arrogance.
As a fellow European I also don't understand the love for trucks. Even though I lived in US for a year. Never saw much towing or hauling.
@@larsandersson5974 Eh, that definitely depends on where you've been. Big towns in suburbs? Yeah, tad silly for a loaded truck that can tow a ton. If you're outside of city limits (we now live in semi-rural OH, meaning big towns are about 20-45min away) and LOT of farms, you see a lot of animal towing and hauling of stuff, which is also what we got ours for.
@@vitaly6312 Yeah, I am currently back home in Czech visiting for work & personal after not having been here for 2yrs due to covid and the culture is def still changing and at odds with each other a bit. Europeans love their sport wagons or "utility vans" (like Renault Kangoo, not sure what the category is called), that's all you see in Alps and hoking trips and such. Trucks are still fairly rare here.
In US, you can't really get sport wagons and those kind of vehicles or they're not updated at all.
@@larsandersson5974 trucks still have a lot of interior cabin space and can be really comfortable to drive. Plus the high seated position allows you to see more when driving.
You know it's bad when $50k seemed reasonable, and then it was a mistake...it was actually $70k.
Just 3 years ago I bought a basic ram quad cab 4x4 for 32,000.
Hey, it's cool. Just get a ten year note and all sorts of options open up to you!
And trucks are the easiest to design and package equipment/features. Manufacturers are making.a killing on trucks.
I recently spec'd out a brand new base trim 3500 Cummins and it was pushing 80k. My question is who tf are the people leasing(see: renting) these things?
Plus dealer shark up.
11:05 Outro with Lakemoor Yatch Club catering is so tone perfect, the calm voice of man in luxury, and not that of a frazzled working man.
They nailed it! Perfect
We started shopping for SUVs, came home with an F-150. It really puts into perspective how they dropped the ball on the explorer. It's like the F-150 is at least a trim level higher and better fit and finish. If you don't go crazy on the options there is incredible capability and good value there. The profit margin on an optioned out Lariat and above must be massive.
I have no idea why they decided to make the Explorer worse. I like the exterior but the interior on the new models is terrible. I have a 2016 Limited Explorer and the interior is much better than the new Explorer.
@@samclark3370 I think the design of the new Explorer’s interior aside from the massive portrait screen is good, but materials are not up to par with the competition.
The CD6 RWD architecture is very very expensive and in 2016, the projected multi billion dollar cost was supposed to be spread across many planned Ford and Lincoln models by 2022.
Stupid Hackett killed all but 2 of them in 2017, so Explorer cost cutting took place, scrapping the previous higher end interior materials and more.
Cannot go from a dated FWD architecture to a brand new RWD basis, with new engines and stay close to the same prices.
@@grantdillon1083 agree... thought the seasts should be more comfortable though. Just like savageese said though the demos had seat wear already. Should be easier to get into 3rd row as well. screen looked like an afterthought and poorly utilized too.
Out of curiosity what did you dislike about the Explorer? That ST seems really enticing to me.
I will never not love and appreciate Mark's pompous act along with Jack's enthusiasm and honesty. Please keep on being my favorite automotive channel.
I own one of these, you guys are spot on with how much work was put into the interior. Mine is a base model, and it feels like a nice place to be. Gone are the days of even a base model truck being a basic or stripped out interior.
Big ups to Jack. His journey as a reviewer and presenter has been awesome to watch. Is this even the same guy as the one in the taco trd vid? Haha, this one is a pro!
I just bought a cheap XLT.....cheap being $49K fully loaded. But you guys are are correct that it has now replaced out old Family Hauler. The kids love it because of the amount of room in the passenger space. Now I'm waiting on the Lightning.
@Black Man agreed, if you don’t drive a Semi…. You don’t drive a truck 🙄 …. A truck is the best family vehicle ever, you throw all your crap in the bed, attach your trailer and take off on a trip… meanwhile there is plenty of space inside to stretch out. And this F-150 with its Autopilot Jr takes it to another lever
SUVs and CUVs cost almost just as much. Trucks have come a long way.
You must mean a used one or definitely not "fully loaded", because a truly "fully loaded" XLT will be like $70k. I've just built several on the Ford build and price tool and they all come to low to mid 60's.
I think this is one of the most positive reviews I’ve seen from this channel. This is was a damn love letter to the F150. I have to get a new F150 now 😂
You must really like your dealers service department.
@@sho942000 Just keep your Gremlin. Your in the wrong section. ;)
0:56 Taking a nap on a job site could make this the choice truck for municipal fleets. But is there still enough room for Mark to do his pillates routine on the rear floor ?
I love napping at work
Unfortunately the fold flat seats are only available in the top trim levels, so it's unlikely many fleet trucks will have that feature.
@@TRSCobra Municipal supervisor fleets then.
It’s crazy to me how similar this truck looks to the old one but how desirable it is not because of one specific feature like the interior but how great it is on everything
@Black Man Tell me what's stopping you from ordering a base f-150 for fleet purposes. Also, if your truck has higher payload and towing figures than ever before, I'm pretty sure it qualifies as a real truck lol.
@Black Man Modern vehicles are more durable than ever, and I see expensive trucks hauling and towing all of the time. But I agree, if you want a super durable, affordable but capable truck, get a Maverick. Unless you need to tow a million lbs, the maverick is your best option.
@Black Man We've actually owned our explorer for over 5 years, and we're just getting started lol.
@Black Man Lots of complaining about something you were never gonna buy anyway. Hope you feel better now.
@Black Man I'm guessing you missed the part where I said "we're just getting started" as in, we're still going to own that car 15-20 years from now. Probably even longer than that lol.
You guys NAILED it with the Final Thoughts!!! You killed it Mark, please keep it coming, I couldn’t stop laughing 😂. And Ape style Jack driving the only way he knows how LOL.
The only thing that would've been better would be if they showed Jack pushing the serving cart with the fruit plate and croissants!
@@rhark25 LOL,
The sarcasm and creative satire always crack me up, I love this channel.
Great vid guys, well done. Tremor looks how the f150 should have looked all along.
I think the dual exhaust should have always been there
I love this truck! That color is perfect and the orange-ish trim compliments it well. It really is the dream truck. As much as I like the Raptor, it is too impractical and too big, and the F250/350 rides too rough. Granted they each have their purpose. But this one is the best if you only had to choose one! Thanks for the review. ✌️
So I grew up in a small town with a Dodge (now Ram) and Ford Dealerships. You basically had to subscribe to one or the other. I chose Ram, so I was a little Ram proud for a very long time. A few years ago I started paying attention to what Ford was doing. It only took about a six minute test drive to fully convert me. I LOVE what Ford does with their interiors. The EcoBoost performance is incredible. The title of the video for sure hits the nail on the head. This really is the truck perfected.
It really is truck perfected, and you have one and you trend set for the rest of neighborhood others will buy one because they understand who the king of the hill is. I've been in Eco's since 2011 and they are really something special. I will say the old ranger we had one that went 300k and had no engine troubles.
@@nathandeparis9852 I was about a month away from putting a deposit on the new Bronco, but the delivery dates were so far out that I went with a Wrangler EcoDiesel. Every time I drive and think of how nice Ford does with driving modes and interiors, I lament not just waiting the 15 months for delivery.
@@P4SDetails Hey Prey, I hear ya. Wife Drove a Wrangler through the southwest on our honeymoon and she and I couldn't stabilize it on the highways to tiring
I watch a lot of car review videos (too many actually), and you guys are KING. Funny, inciteful, technical, etc. And I feel this way despite the fact that you slammed by beloved Tiguan (a whiff on your part). Keep up the great work guys.
Just wait until they pull a doug demuro and offer 'cars and kids' at every opportunity. I have faith that they won't. but you never know. Just like I never watch a demuro video. By the way, the chevy my friend has beats the ride quality on my f150 by a mile. Unless it's towing something, the ecoboost really shines there.
@@MikeF055 Doug DeMuro, and my personal least favorite Raiti's Rides, are just advertisers pushing large infotainment system and giant wheels.
@@R777-RLM what do you mean? You don't enjoy Doug Demuro pressing buttons for 20 minutes while staring at the camera with his tongue hanging out?
@@R777-RLM Joe Raiti is a clown
@@wigletron2846 Nice.
I love the fruit plate outtake and final thought comedy. 😋 Been watching for years and made purchase decisions based apon these Savages reviews and I couldn't be happier. Mark and Jack thank you.
A truck big enough to live in, tall enough you need a bed utility ladder to get into the back, and expensive enough that I'm wondering if you have to join an HOA before signing the contract. They've done great things with this model, even if I see my chances at owning one slipping further away as the years go by and the price gets higher. Great video lads, Looking forward to seeing what's new with the raptor.
As they have mentioned in previous videos with increasing vehicle cost. There is always the poverty spec.
@@LPM84. That is true. But those are never the ones with the all the built in toys.
Why is this word for word copied from another comment? No originality.
@@omarkhan9966 This one was posted first
The F150 is simply spectacular. Amazing review.
Loved this video! Well made! I am passionate about the F150 and you nailed it!
I bought my 2018 F150 XLT Supercrew brand new with .7 miles on it for $40k out the door. Almost every option was ticked on the XLT model so it's pretty much a Lariat with cloth seats. Now, after 3 years and 70k miles, the truck is worth $38.5k and the new ones are going for $60k. There has to be a point where people stop buying these things. This prices are just so insane now.
Half of these people lease them and what they have 8 year payments now? If there's a will there's a way.
New truck prices aside, your purchase seems to be holding its value quite well. After 3 years and 70,000 miles you can still get 38,000 for it? You've only lost 2 grand. That's seems pretty good. But for 60 grand, I'd rather buy a new Class C RV. I'd rather have the option of taking weekend trips in it.
Low interest rates and 8 year terms allowing idiots to finance what they can’t afford is screwing housing and vehicle prices.
@@CarsTechWood The average income in the USA is $31,000 annually. Financial experts agree that 10% of your salary should go toward your transportation. That means driving a $3000 dollar beater. Would you limit yourself to a car in this price range? Or would you finance something that's more reliable and less costly to own? Figuring in maintenance costs for the dilapidated banger.
I have a shop in TX and see all brand pickups. They are all very good and they all will have high chance of some engine problems if you follow the oil service warning system in truck. If you use remote start and/or you have stop n go traffic and short (
100%! Oil is way cheaper than having to replace an engine. I've been changing oil at ~3,500 and most of my cars have gone close to 200k miles before selling them. No engine issues what so ever.
@@BarnStangz yep - fluids are cheap. Change em frequently.
I always turn the valve deactivation off in my Ram. It's hardly noticeable but just enough to annoy me.
i love it , hands down, keep up the good work , FORD, and keep up the excelent review from this channel
Those final thoughts were pure gold, Mark. God bless
Good video. You explained very well why I prefer the f150 over other trucks. Ford is prone to plenty of mistakes, but in the F-150 they have clearly devoted soo much time and money to getting it right. The other trucks can all be great and outperform in one way or another, but they come with a lot more caveats. I look forward to the upcoming f-150 videos.
I don’t know much about trucks… but that fruit plate was legit class!
Omg guys you doing a excellent job !! I love the ending
Great vid, looking farward to deeper dive in the new f150
4:30 the rear differential is a locking differential, not a limited slip 😀
You know these guys more frequently review sport cars/sedans/coupes/performance vehicles than offroady rides :)
@@richardnavratil9661 They should kind of know that though.
Yeah, sick that you can get a Torsen gear driven torque biasing front differential and a locking rear in a pickup... what a day we live in!
@@tobias_dahlberg Oh yeah, for sure! I do wonder tho - I'm guessing they probably review 2-3 vehicles at a time and easily forget while shooting their under-vehicle segments? Just thinking of reasons as these guys are very technically apt, it's more of a goof than lack of knowledge.
00:57 "...on the job site." On the job site...that's really funny Jack. The majority of these are going to be purchased by office workers.
Fleet sales actually make up 27-37 percent of ford sales month to month. That doesnt include small business. So its actually a very large portion of sales. Those numbers arent specific to f150 but to ford overall.
Thank you for not making me regret my purchase (yet). Can’t wait for a hybrid video.
Yeah, I'm a little surprised they didn't start with that, as in my opinion that's the best truck to get (as a new truck owner of a used F150 that I wish was a hybrid but sadly isn't)
That's the first digital speedometer I've seen with a polling rate high enough to not skip numbers. My OCD is finally satisfied!
Croissant sounded a bit stale and dry. Thanks for taking one for the team to continue pumping out such quality content.
Thanks to the great acoustic gear these Savages use that crunch came in load and clear 😆
Stale croissants go firm and dense, that one sounded recently toasted as a way to reheat and "freshen it up". I could feel the oil leeching out of it.
Or even - god help us - from the freezer.
My new F150 is absolutely perfect. So perfect that out of the past month of ownership it has spent over two weeks at the dealership. Great interior. Great power. If only it would actually drive without shuddering violently. Perfect, though. I guess except for reliability.
stick with japanese. I live in japan and own a 2020 hilux and a 2010 tundra. Either has never been at a dealer for repairs. However, i do like the interior of the f150 better. good luck to ya
Yup 10spd is trash ,one is in shop right now at 20k
Hahahah 10 speed problems
It's a Ford that sounds like you got a good one. Seriously though Ford has given up on quality. Ram is a FAR better truck followed by GM. By all accounts the F150 is the worst truck made today. Overpriced, unreliable garbage.
Yeah I wouldn't rely on these new trucks, they seem to have engineered planned obsolescence in these. I'm not a brand fan boy, but I have a 21 year old silverado 5.3 with 200k miles still on original powertrain. ( Off road in it too) I have a mustang gt too, and the new f-150 is really appealing but I would treat these new trucks as luxury cars rather than trucks.
Love my 21 F150. Awesome review!
Great review. Ordered one last week.
If I were in the market for a full-size pickup this would be my pick. An aluminum body is a step above, and the engine lineup actually seems fully baked. The domestic competitors seem to be more questionably made, and the new Tundra just feels like a step backward rather than making it the most desirable. Now get to yacht and continue your leisure time, gentlemen.
The new Tundra finally made it to 2015-level tech and features.
@@ROFLWAFFLE1911 Ouch. You ain't wrong tho.
Yeah but like who wants a turbo in their gas truck…
@@ROFLWAFFLE1911 I still wish we had those Nokia phones. Times were great back then.
@@aygwm Mah dude, soon you won't have an option. Non turbo is slowly creeping away, i.e. Toyota gone, Ford all but gone, others will follow
I'm really enjoying what Fruit Plate is bringing to the channel. I hope to see more going forward.
My Monday was fairly awful until the final thoughts! I haven't laughed like that in weeks! Keep 'em coming like that Mark!
The Tremor package is really nice, what a beautiful truck. I never thought I'd say that about a pickup truck.
one major selling point to me is that the F150 is still available in a 6 seat configuration. I want the Tundra soooo bad but it's only got 5 seats! not that I use 6 seats all the time, but it's nice to have when the occasion arises. And that Ford always has decent incentives and low interest rates. Toyota never has incentives and interest rates are through the roof!
Bruh, dont limit financing for your vehicle to the dealership. Gotta shop those rates like you shop that car!
@@psloate that is true! I totally forgot I got a loan from the bank for my Subaru instead of the dealer. Thanks for the reminder.
Toyota has had 0% financing for like 10 years. But you cant have shit credit
@@yzrippin what country do you live in?! cuz it's been like 5-7% here in Canada
@@gwot My current 2019 Ranger is at 1.99% Financing through Ford Canada.
Great video was looking at prices in my area $72,000 for a used one with 6,000 miles
Great ending!!
Absolutely love the final thoughts.
Jack is the first person ever to expose ford and call this damn truck a refresh. I’ve been saying it since the day it came out NOT AN ALL NEW TRUCK. Marketing shouldn’t equal blatant lies. Same chassis… Tons of improvements. Heavy refresh. Doesn’t make the truck any less fantastic. The 15-20’ was great. This only improves on a good thing. With these manufacturers could keep it real. Thanks for that, Jack!!
True, if Ford screws up the F150, they would go bankrupt. This truck is not only the best selling product for Ford but the best selling product overall in the car industry.
Meh! Mustang is up there to. Another great seller.!
@@fredwilliams7893 No, not in the volume the F150 puts out, not even close.
@@expsterm1 You have to keep in mind fleet sales are the biggest for any teuck company and I can tell you in the past our work trucks were garbage mechanics always working on them
Wish you guys would review some of the lower trims from time to time.
Like always, great review with the added humor 😎
The sound of that croissant crunch really sheds light on the audio quality. Subbed for more bread crunch.
Pffff, F150s aren’t for work. They’re for tailgating me at 85mph on the freeway.
Man you said it! And if you try to do 95 they wanna go 105 lol
Stay in the right lane and we’ll go around you.
@@BrianBourgeois- Quit speeding in the right lane and we wouldn't have this problem.
@@dawnpoint speed is determined by the speed limit, not the lane your in. The left lane is for passing, you are to proceed back into the right lane once it is safe to do so.
@@BrianBourgeois- I'm glad to see you know your driving laws. Go tell all this to everyone else so they'll actually go the speed limit and I won't feel like I'm getting stampeded when I'm going 85mph in the right lane and still one of the slower cars on the freeway.
The fruit tray killed me. Thanks for the review, Captain.
You really made this video seem personal, nice touch
Mark, you're so bougie! Love the video! Hilarious yet informative! Nice work!
I have the same truck on order. Same color but I got the mid trim level, this one is the high. MSRP is 61k, which is a lot to me, so this is a truck I need to last for at least 15 years without major issue. With all the electronics this truck has I'm a little worried, but hopefully it works out.
I am thankful I still own my 2000 Chev 1500 extended cab 124 k miles.
I bought new for $26k in 2000.
I died at the price I paid in 2000 but $70 k is almost three times the cost.
Yes, wages have gone up but wow I paid $86k for our first home in 1994
Not sure if it's accurate, but apparently according to an inflation calculator 26k in 2000 is equivalent to 42k right now.
This is the first time I’ve ever watched a car video outside of the Tesla ones (because of course). Even though I grew up in Miami (never even wanted to touch a truck), I spent my college days at UF so now I’m certified part country and absolutely crave pickup trucks now.
Keep up the good work guys!
This looks amazing! The previous generation was solid throughout it's lifecycle, and this one should be great as well. Nicely done review as always!
BTW, I realized you guys compared it to the Ram and Tundra without even mentioning Chevy. That's tells you how bad the current Silverado is 🤣😢
Not a fanboy of Ford or any other brand, it just feels odd to watch an F-150 review without hearing comparisons to the Silverado and vice-versa
For a Ford diehard(stock owner) I really like the look of the Chevy Silverado. I didn't think the Camaro front end would look good on a truck, I was wrong. After the Cobalt SS I promised I would never buy another Chevy.
GMs warranty costs are more than half of what Ford's are. The F150 is junk and will spend more trhan double the time in the shop as the Silverado. But hey...built Ford proud right?
Current Silverado is in desperate need of a refresh...
@@HandsomeAlex25 at least in my opinion, the silverado is butt ugly. The 2014 models looked better.
@@JustaShrimp372 Yeah there's that too. No truck is pretty, but the current squinty Silverado looks just wrong to my eyes. Especially when they just have their LED accent lights on - they look like inverted brackets for no reason.
Great truck! Still, if I was in the market, I'd go for the new Tundra.
Still love my '18 RCSB 2wd 2.7 EB F150. Easy torque and decent steering make it fun, and being a RCSB 2wd made it light and affordable. I will rue the day when Ford stops making a RCSB F150. (Though I did do a wheel/tire upgrade as the stock 17" alloys were very narrow/small).
Just have my boat ready!! Sums it up perfect
When somebody starts a truck review talking about interior "features" that's when I know to leave. Nobody who uses a truck for what it's supposed to be used for gives a fuck about interior features.
Would really like your guys review of their audio system since they now have speakers on the headrests & 389 speakers
Great review on a great truck. I’ve ordered a Lariat trim with the FX4 Powerboost 3.5 hybrid and the 7.2 kw generator in the same great color as your Tremor. Looking forward to the mileage saving, around town driving with the hybrid combo. Concur with your praise of the interior that will support long haul traveling out west onroad & off. Can’t wait for delivery in late FEB.
OH NO, Never, the HYBRID, well too late I guess, Anyway, as long as your in a warm year round State & don't plan on extended trips, you'll be fine ? Cheers
I would like to thank brandon for this amazing review and F-150 price
If I could afford a fleet of 25 vehicles, I would definitely get one of these. It would be #25.
I wish the Tremor was available with the 5.0L V8. I'd be sold.
Why a V8?
I have a 2019 5.0 it has a ton of problems.
I would have bought it if it came with the powerboost.
As much as I understand the appeal of the V8 (I got one in my Bullitt), the V6 in the F150 is an excellent engine. We have a used 2017 F150, when the 10spd tranny was new and not yet super well tuned, but nowadays I'd argue best engine to get. Longevity is a question still, but I think we're past the days of turbo automatically equaling a crappy reliability.
@@ggarden8432 I got a 2013 FX2 185,000 miles, I've had zero problems with the engine. I tow a 5k trailer on average once a WK. I've had to replace my radiator at about 140k miles, Trans was just recently rebuilt around 178k miles, one of my blend air door?? Motor is out which control wheather heat or cold air comes out. I've replaced 2 fuel pump fuse. Engine been solid thought I replace my oil when the computer says I got around 20%oil life remaining. I run full synthetic.
Love my 2018 f150 would really love to have the new Tremor . Drive everyday great vehicle.
Good review as always does anyone know where in IL they do there reviews they are both intelligent and funny car guys keep up the good work gentleman.
Do a maverick next, lots of hype, would be interested to see what you two think.
Hype? What so cool about that POS Fwd truck 😂 its slow as hell too. The only positive thing ive heard is that the hybrid is capable of 45mpg which is good not gonna lie.
@@Jimmyxsx Yeah it's just another useless truck that people who don't even need a truck will buy.
@@Channel-gz9hm it’s obvious you’re not a car guy and you wouldn’t understand.
Its slow, weak, and fwd😂
@@Jimmyxsx It's really obvious you don't get the point, saying they aren't a car guy because the don't care about how fast it goes is just ridiculous. The maverick is built for people who ever owned or planned on owning a truck, they don't really want a full size truck but they want something as capable but gets good gas mileage and feels like car ( car like truck and not a truck like car) It does get the job done, it's easy and very valuable, it will rock and shake and change the industry with it's prices and capabilities and possibilities. The fact that people are having conversations and arguments about it only proves it is popular.
@@raionshishi8290 this ain’t as capable as a full size truck lol not even close😂 try towing a trailer with it and you’ll immediately regret buying this wanna be truck lol if you want a smaller truck get a ranger, tacoma or chevy colorado. This thing is a joke😂
Looking forward to hearing your review on the GMC Sierra 1500. Definitely curious how this compares to that.
I have a '21 F-150 Super Crew STX 2.7 RWD. Hope that spec makes it in a video as well! Not everyone needs 4x4 or a bigger engine.
Thanks for the no BS review. I went with a 2021 2.7l EB. It was priced right, should last ages. A similarly equipped 22 tundra was 15% more with a question mark associated with the 1st year model
2.7 is such a small motor for it to last ages
@@deni8814 I don't follow. Plenty of 2.7EB with high mileage. If it's looked after it should last.
The only thing that kills it for me is the eco-beast. Give me the 5.0 in the tremor package and you’d have a sale.
Real world mpg and reliability all point to the 5.0.
Naw not really true anymore. I was with you years ago, but that 3.5 will change your life.
I agree I wish you could get these trucks ordered with exactly what you want. I too would go for the 5.0 but I would also like the 6.5 bed , the 7.2k power generator and bench seat with column shift. You cannot get a Tremor built like that.
Love the Tremor package but do not like the 3.5 , 5ft.bed is worthless to me and need the 7.2k power for my rv since this F150 can tow a good amount of weight now. I believe with a longer bed and 5.0 it could probably tow even more , plus increase payload number.
Mark's been growing with each episode for the last couple of months. He can now look at Jack from the top at the shop. That's how you fix childhood complexes. Magic or a box from Amazon?
I love the traditional rear bumper no weird footsteps on the corners.
The final thoughts’ food plate part is as good as a movie opening, lol.
Ford has many hits. Great upgrade on F150, nice Bronco, and even a cost valued Maverick.
70k seems like a lot to me. The TRX starts at that. Granted you won’t get one for that but still.
Yeah the raptor is cheaper than this tremor too but this one is optioned all the way up, you can get a tremor with less options for much cheaper
Probably can’t get this for 70 either thanks to “market adjustments”
Which begs a question - regardless of how silly or even unethical/shady some ADMs are, if you can't purchase the vehicle for that price, is that really its price? MSRP is meaningless mostly anyway. Price is what you'd pay for those right out the door, right?
@@richardnavratil9661 I see what you mean however I have seen decently optioned TRXs sell for mid 80k. As the other guy mentioned there are market adjustments on the tremor as well pushing it to 75-80k.
@@mattcusto You certainly can, they make a MILLION of these a year. I just ordered and took ownership of a 21' Bronco Badlands at sticker, just find a dealer that isn't total scum.
The older I get (34) the more desirable these trucks are to me. I love my 18 raptor for similar reasons. It is so comfortable and I can sit in it for hours driving across Texas.
Just ordered my 2022 TREMOR 402-A package a month ago. I had a good choice of trucks to chose from. I made my decision to go with FORD.
My mom and aunt bought a 2018 f150 xlt just yesterday for their business. It was between that and a silverado. My advice to my aunt was ford doesn't even care if their other cars have doors on them as long as their f150 is good, if the silverado has 2 disaster years, they'll cancel it and launch a new truck in the same segment with a different name. This is everything to ford so it better be good.
GM won't be eliminating the Silverado/Sierra any time soon. But that doesn't change the fact that they've been garbage since 2007.
I do wish the drivetrain was a bit better, father owns the TTV6 from 2019 and at 4k miles he has had a check engine light for boost pressure issues, an issue seen by many others, besides that, theyre comfy and overall pretty nice to daily
It's a ford. I dont care how far they have come . They will always struggle with reliability.
LMAO
Excellent no-BS review.
Crazy, that watching this video I realised that you guy live or film in the area where I live. Wow!
Hopefully the 2022 Silverado can finally stand a chance at being all-around great truck since the interior has been redesigned
And Sierra
Built ford tough means there are going to be major recalls connecting your safety...to fire.
Yeah if it wasn’t exploding fuel cells it was faulty cruise control wiring. Every Ford I’ve owned has been recalled for a fire hazard, fortunately none has ever caught on fire haha.
Built Ford Tough-Luck.
@@emotionz3 mine burned parked, never get their products again
I fuckin love the small bits you sprinkle in like you did with the final thoughts
Glad you guys think this compares favorably to the new Tundra and Ram!
Is it normal that there is already so much surface rust below?
On the american trucks, yes. Chevy and Ford have already issued statements about the trucks rusting on the lots around 5 years ago. Japanese seem to use better metal. haven't heard anything of the German trucks rusting.
@@AmericanBusinessman422 Tundras are notorious for having frame rust issues that require entirely new frames.
My 2021 Ram has no surface rust at all its a Ford thing definitely 👍😃
@@tomstarcevich1147 I have a 2019 Ram and I haven't seen any rust. Yes, I live in NC but I was sent to NJ for a year since I owned it.
It's not uncommon... TFL Truck covered it in one of their videos (I think on Andre's F-150 Powerboost). My 2019 RAM 1500 had it too, I live in Mass so salt on the roads is very common. It's minor surface rust, on things like the rear axle and control arms. I've take a rattle can to a few spots.
At $70K, it ought to be just what a fruit-plate-snacking vessel captain needs. What’s the rubber floor mat/AM-radio edition cost?
aka fleet version
I absolutely love this truck, while the Maverick is a more realistic and more practical option, this one of those trucks that has a nice interior but also won’t kill you if it gets dirty.
Some say these are the two best personalities on youtube
Let's be real here:
Even though I own a 2017 Toyota Tacoma SR with a 4-Cylinder, I am STILL a Sucker for the Ford F-150 Line of Trucks.
That Truck is so commonplace where I live (Augusta, GA), that almost 1 out of every 10 Vehicles I see on the road (At least, that's how I see it) are Ford F-150s of Various Generations.
Heck, Some of the People I know from the Church I go to Drive Ford F-150's! (Lariat, XLT, and STX Trims, BTW)
So it's no surprise to me that it's the Most Popular Truck Out There. Heck, before I bought my Tacoma, I WAS looking at F-150's! (Primarily ones with the 3.3L V6 or 2.7L Ecoboost, since I mostly Drive Rather than Tow or Go Off-Road, and I am one of those people who just own a Truck just to say 'I Drive a Truck', I'm not denying that)
Onto the F-150 Tremor:
I honestly don't mind this Trim Level, and I think it does what it is supposed to do. However, Once you start adding a lot of Options to this Truck, I'd tell people they're better off jumping to the Raptor or Dropping to the XLT-Trim if they don't really need all those features.
However, I am STILL not a Fan of the 3.5L Ecoboost V6. It's probably the Most Inconsistent Engine in their Options. I've heard some People Say 'It's the Best Engine Out There', and Other Say 'Total Garbage, Keeps Breaking Down'. I'd still stick with the 5.0L Coyote V8 or Base 3.3L Duratec V6 if you want something that's going to be 'Apocalypses-Levels of Reliable'.
If there's One Ecoboost Engine that I might Advocate for, it's the 2.7 Ecoboost V6. I've Test-Driven it MULTIPLE Times and have had a BLAST Every Single Time. However, I still have my concerns about Reliability on this one as well, but I've heard it's better than the 3.5 by a MASSIVE Margin.
I'm also still not a fan of the 10-Speed Automatic Transmission. I STILL feel like that's too many gears and it becomes a common source of failure in these Trucks. However, I have seen my share of people who've taken care of these Transmissions by doing Routine Maintenance, so I wonder if the Same Argument Supporting CVT Transmissions also fits for the 10-Speed Transmission in the F-150.
Overall, Ford continues their Tradition of Being the Bar for a Half-Ton Pickup Truck with the Ford F-150. And it's obvious as to why that's the Case:
You Can Essentially Customize This Truck to Your Liking! Want a Truck with More Function than Features? A Base XL with the 3.3L V6 or 5.0L V8 can do that. Do You Want the Best Off-Road Truck Money Can Buy? The Raptor might be for you. Want Something That's More Luxurious but can still Handle whatever you throw at it? There's the King Ranch, Platinum, or Limited Trims! You can essentially build this truck however the hell you want it, and That's why the F-150 is Ford's Magnum Opus. It is THE VEHICLE you Identify Ford By. PERIOD.
Every Detractor of the F-150 cites lack of Reliability, But Most F-150's I've seen broken down for ANY Reason are usually Old Ones with a Ton of Mileage. RARELY do I ever see a Newer F-150 Broken Down UNLESS it's one with the Ecoboost V6 Engines.
So Yeah, even though I am a Toyota Tacoma Owner (And a Proud One at That), I cannot deny the History and Legacy that the Ford F-150 has. It's basically the Undertaker of Pickup Trucks, IMO.
SoundFX09, Signing Out.
Keep the tocama hell even buy the new tundra. Ford really is garbage trust me I see rams everywhere to and they are garbage horrible reliability! How many of those owners do you think has had there f150 in the shop that you don't know about? Think about that!
The new tundra hasn’t even been released yet and this F150 is already making it look out dated
The new tundra has been selling for at least a week now
Excellent, as usual.
Yep, order my F150 Lightning for delivery this summer 👍
