2018 & 2019 Ford F-150 Reasons NOT to buy - the REAL story

- *For those who question this video, look at the comments!*. Also, this seems to be affecting the V8 but not the V6 trucks except for the dash problem which is on most XLs and XLTs. This is my first video on CZcams speaking because I’m not a broadcast type of person. This is my personally owned 2018 F-150. In this video, I go over issues I’m having and my experience in the first 500 miles. The issues include a warped dash, high pitch engine whistle, 5.0 coyote engine oil consumption and dash rattles. My goal is to help fellow truck owners and potential buyers of the F150 and Ford Mustang. Ford continues to release TSBs for many of the problems and there are MANY. Please comment below if you have experienced any of the same problems. The more people who share their story, the more Ford may do about it. Thank you. Ford TSB

Trolls will be flamed. There are hundreds of people who have left comments their trucks are also a nightmare. Leave a personal or derogatory comment and I’m happy to pin it to the top, block your ability to reply and you can sit back and watch people clown you.
12 years with Ford, 24 total as a mechanic. I just left the last ford dealership i will ever work for. Ford has some major warranty policy problems. Ford will actually charge back the dealer for all repairs they feel un necessary and do not pay the dealers for the time a mechanic spends on diagnostic time. Make your complaint 3 times and get it lemon lawed out.. my apologies bro..
Mr Smith Dude what exactly happens when they declare it a Lemon?? Do U get a New Ride or do they make the Repairs?? I’m at the beginning of my Process. I hv a 2018 XLT 5.0 That Drinks Oil like it’s Thirsty and my Dash is beginning 2 Warp😕😕😕!!! I had a Ranger for 15 Years with no Major Issues.
@@mrstarr2520 Thank you for sharing that info. Jeez, I shopping for a new truck right now and it's hard to walk the minefield of BS these days. These things are so expensive. THanks again.
Jason. Don't feel too bad I bought 2013 f150 xlt ecoboost 4x4 and the darn thing got a cold 2 or 3 times. Every time it would rain it would cough. So after the 2nd time at 24 thousand miles I took it in I traded it in for a limited 2014 f150 EcoBoost that truck had brake problems twice. Once I was driving out of the dealer and tested the brakes went right back in to the service department and gave them the keys. Took 2.5 weeks to get it back they. The truck leaked all the brake fluid into the booster they replaced the master cylinder but not booster. I told them this will go out. They told me no it won't well guess what happened at 30k miles they were changing the brake system again. Had front drive shafts go out at 24k miles also. Timing chains ho out at 40 k
GM may have had some shortcomings but GM right now has better quality in their trucks than Ford does.
This truck was put together on Monday or a Friday .
Robots don't care what day of the week it was.
Monday hungover Friday trying to leave early 😁
Don’t B a Loser the human required parts did
Johnny cash always said get a Wednesday car.
Monday and Friday aren't going to be as good as Tuesday threw Thursday ones. Be it Chevy, Nissan other.
Every time i think of buying a new car i find these videos and realize i will stick with my old hoopties.
Usually better off buying something “new” someone has already tested drived it for a while even if its a little dirty or not latest and greatest
Me too. When I see a truck I like I'll say that will look good in my drive in 13 years. Lol
I own 2 ford pickups a 2011 ford ranger and a 1994 f 250 with a 460 gas I haven't had much trouble with either one. I am fussy about oil changes 2500 to 3000 miles I can change my own oil with these older pickups but the newer pickups look like a pain in the button to change. Why do they make all vehicles more difficult to work on. Guess I'll just keep driving my old ford pickups. They run great.
Maybe some critical thinking ON YOUR OWN is in order.
You kids listen to this drivel on the interweb and get all flustered. You have NO IDEA the source, credibility, or situations. You just take it on face value because....welll....it's on your phone.
At least he’s keeping his windows clean With that squiggly thingy
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This guy: my truck has rattling plastic
Dodge owner: damn i wish mine atleast drove
Too bad dodges are miles ahead of ford in the truck department
john panty yea in recalls
@@justinbelk2759 yea, you do realize ford has most recalls in automotive history,🤣🤣🤡
Keep your fiat in disguise
Ram not dodge..just say Mopar
Take it to another Ford dealer bro, there are good and bad dealers. Never do business there again and you should give out their name too so people know about them.
Yeah, horrible, that’s how all of my 5.0 and 3.5T F150’s have made between 180-255kmi and still running strong. EVERY manufacturer has some issues. Sucks that you have a couple annoying ones. Ford will fix the dash, and the engine if testing verifies excess consumption. Btw, I’m no ford fanboy. I also have 40+ silverados which generally make 200kmi w/o anything serious. We’ve upped our replacement from 150kmi to 200+ in 2010 and haven’t regretted it. I’m done with Ram, and one of my 2 Toyota’s drinks oil like crazy.
Yes! My dad won't deal with the closest Ford dealer. He travels 45 min to get good service from another one. Must be for good reason.
You are right nutnbut ,
I've had the same experience, 2 ford dealerships out here in Phoenix and 1 was way more shitty than the other
I have that exact same truck and I DO NOT have any of these problems!
Me too.
Awesome trucks.
Same, none of these issues.
I bet you have the warped dash. Take a look from outside your window. Unless you have the lariat dash it's most likely have it. That said...the warped dash doesn't bother me. Some people got it replaced and now the dash rattles....its barely noticeable and I think everyone should just live with it. It doesn't affect the operation of the vehicle at all ...
@@Anth230 if you dont mind spending your cash, I have a bridge for sale. Ill glady take your money since it seems to be no object to you nor do you care about quality or what you get. Lol. Like suicidail tendencies once sang send me your money!
@@shawnjoe9187 I will bet you are one of those old fat guys that think trucks in the 1980's were made of better quality...😂😂😂
Picked 2019 F150 Lariat FX4, Moonroof, 10 speed 2.7L V6 EcoBoost and loving it. None of the issues you indicated so far. Engine and the turbo kick sounds so nice and powerful.
I sadly made the decision to keep an 2012 F-150 ecoboost that my brother in law offered me because he couldn’t afford the payments anymore…
I instantly said yes because I thought it was a great deal since he didn’t asked for any cash or anything, i just had to do the monthly payments…
I thought it was a great truck until started doing wierd transmission issues, and electrical problems…
It struggles to get me to highway speed limit, and it cries when it force it to over pass slow drivers…
I recently had the chance to drive my bother’s 2019 V8 silverado, that thing is a monster.. I sincerely regret keeping this piece of ford crap..
My girlfriend is strongly considering getting a 2019 F150 XLT with a 2.7. It has about 50,000 miles on it. In the three years since you posted this comment, have you experienced any issues significant or minor?
@@colinc1633 Other than a couple of factory recalls (headlight daytime lights, and a transmission update), nothing much, just minor software adjustments. There was a rattle from the front passenger side door while using B&O Sound system at high base volume, which was rectified by replacing the speaker under warranty. There was one more recall letter I received about tailgate opening itself, but I never experienced it. The dealer said they'll change the harness free of cost whenever in next, but I ended up trading it in for 2022 F150 Lariat Powerboost Hybrid model a month ago as our travel trailer and camping gear started getting heavier day by day. No dash warping issues, no whistling noises, etc. Just make sure that the vehicle has been serviced regularly and all bulletins and recalls have been taken care of. I wish you the best if picking 2019 F150 2.7L Ecoboost as it is a very good engine. In normal city driving, it just works like a small 2.7L tamed engine giving best mileage, but when needed under load, with twin turbos, it roars like a fast, powerful beast with a massive low RPM torque. You'll like it.
@@isailopez4132 sounds like your brother in law is a smart man, unloading a worn out turd onto you, he knew a sucker when he seen you.
7 yrs between trucks makes a big difference eh?
I have a 2018 F150 XLT I have the bone stock and barrel truck. 76k miles and not a single issue. I have the little V6 3.3 motor.
I just bought a 2019 XLT 3.5L Ecoboost (23 miles on it) FX4 WITH the added sport appearance, the sticker was just lower than 56,000, I walked out the door at 48,500. Negotiating is key. Also, I haven’t had any of these problems with my truck. I think he’s just got one of the bad batches. Also, mine just passed 1K miles and a 8 hour road trip. Couldn’t be happier.
The ecoboost is fine, it's the 2018-2020 F-150 Coyote 5.0 engines
Bought a 2018 2.7 ecoboost with the lariat package for 37k brand new.
You got donked
After spending so much, it’s heartbreaking to hear how unhappy he is with it.
curtis lane not necessarily. Some people save for years to be well off enough to live in areas like this and buy nice ass vehicles. I come from a family with a little of both worlds on each side and just because you live in a nice neighborhood doesn’t mean you have money to throw away like that. It just means you manage your money a lot better than others.
Chances are he actually loves the truck but not the pymt 😂
Get a lemon lawyer. 👍
55k and cloth seats, ouch
You said it
Id baught a corevette lmao
Time to hold them farts for years lmao
@Todd m I think the point he was making is 55k for cloth seats. not that the cloth is bad.
jake 26 ...you only have five words in your comment, and two of them are misspelled!
You provided a great service to those of us out shopping Ford f150s. I am looking at the 2015-2017 year models with 5.0L and six speed transmission. I know yours is the 2018/2019. Thanks so much for posting. Your presentation was very informative. Will now be looking for those problems when I eventually start kicking tires
I have an F150 5.0 but thankfully I'm hard of hearing so it only bothers everyone else! I think you have a great case for the lemon law. Worth looking into. Good luck!
Did u not test drive it?
Jay Raiders sometimes the problems develop sooner on
Right like why the fuck did you buy it
55 grand truck !! wow !!
I'm kind of confused on why you're upset if Ford is willing to replace everything free of charge.
U know how many rattles that dash will have after their done
@@willgeebanger132 I'm not sure if you've had a bad experience with dash removal from a dealership in the past, but I've had to replace heater control solenoids and add gps/remote starters and not had any weird rattling sounds afterwards. As long as you properly release the clips and dont snap any parts, it should all go back together as original assembly.
@Aghilas I get that, but it's not like this is normal in an f150, I own and have ridden in plenty. He got a shitty one, that they're willing to repair completely free of charge. Trucks are built by people, people make mistakes, only good people admit to and fix their mistakes. That is all I'm saying.
Jesse Schmidt so the oil consumption isn’t a problem to you? People don’t assemble the engine. The 5.0 has been out since forever and people are still having oil consumption issues? There’s two Tundras out there with a million miles on the clock and neither one of them lost a drop of oil. This is a new truck under 500 miles and he just got a bad one?
@@365handle Yes, he just got a bad one. Just like thousands of Toyota trucks shipped and delivered with low oil and improperly programmed transmissions leading to catastrophic failure 2017-2019. Dont be a fanboy no truck is perfect. If the company makes it right, there is no problem, if they say "you bought it so it's your problem" obviously that's an issue.
thank you for taking the time with this review. it's very helpful for me and others. i have a 2016 expedition and i'm very happy with it. also have a 2015 f250 and its great.
Never had any of these issues. Hole you get it figured out. I've been using mine for 3 years for landscaping hauling rock and what not. It's been a beast 💪
Zero issues with my 2019. Absolutely love my F150
@Armando Sturzenegger 3.5 EcoBoost
Armando Sturzenegger supercharged 5.0
So far my 2019 F150 has been flawless. I didnt go with the 5.0 , I got a xlt 4x4 supercab with a 3.5 ecoboost. Your oil consumption issue is a known problem, Take it to another dealer, all of them do warranty work.
Just bought a 18 F-150 with the 3.0 diesel lariat. Loaded for 41,000. Love it it’s an awesome truck
Boo F-150 and it’s F Series Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Texas Edition and it’s Silverado Series rule
lol I never noticed my dash was warped till now lol
My 15 has the hump. Doesn't bother me
Build Ford tough
Built ford rough
Doesn’t bother me either 🤷🏽♂️
😂😂
what were you thinking 🤔 spending 55k on an XLT?
55K, man, thats like King Ranch F250 4x4.
that’s insane
He's referring to sticker, anyone pays sticker is a #$÷×**
That's a $35,000 truck. 3.5 ecoboost max tow is $50,000.
@@chuckmiller5763 I was thinking what you wrote was smack, then I went and configured a 250 lariat super crew 4x4. I had no clue it was so close. I guess my next truck is going to be a 250. There's no point to buying a 150 anymore. Close to the same price and just not nearly as capable.
Curious did you not notice the dash issues before you took possession of the truck? Not sure what to say about the whistle but if the oil consumption issue continues I would not hesitate to lemon law it.
Let's start with the comment the "worse dealer in SC". You have no obligation to go to that dealer for any service. Go somewhere else. They may tell you service and warranty has to be done with them but your warranty is good at ANY North American Ford dealer.
Second, how long had your truck sit on the lot before you bought. You post it as built in August 2018, but posted in April 2019, 8 months after it was built. Part of the begining of the run where most issue seem to appear. That truck had been sitting on the lot since September 2018. Cooking in the sun can warp the dash. I agree that's an issue, but personally I never buy a vehicle that has been sitting on the lot. I order each and every one. I just received delivery on my 2019 Lariat, went over it for 2 hours with the sales person and brought in the service manager when I found the oil level (as shipped from Ford) was at the lower third on the dip stick. The level was brought up to the full line before I took it for a test drive (prior to signing all the paperwork). The service manager said vehicles will have oil at least to the low line and it should be topped off by the dealer prior to delivery (he apologized it was missed in PDI).
Third, every auto manufacture produces vehicles with issues, some major, most minor. I bought a Porsche which the AC would only run on max cold, the exhaust rattled, and 2 tires were out of balance. The dealer repaired them and that was that.
Find yourself another dealer service department you feel comfortable working with. Go in and calmly explain what issue you have and ask them to look at and take care of them. I have a great working relationship with the service dept at my dealer. They take care of any issues I bring up and with my 2017 Lariat, brought up ones they found (software updates, found nail in tire during The Works tire rotation, loose mounting bolt on a running board, etc) and took care of them.
I don't see an issue with getting a new long block (5.0 repair) and there is a fix for the transmission whine, Ford does replace the tranny.
Well working in construction I don't see many that can afford a $70k truck.
HERPY DERPEDY especially in the Carolinas where wages are dirt cheap and workers rights are very limited .
LOL, you buy a new truck only to get the long block repaired or replaced and you say that you have no issue with it!!!! Are you freaking serious!!! You must love your Ford even when you get a POS one.
Lot rot happens to all vehicles that sit too long.
I have a 2019 super cab long box 4x4 xlt
1700 miles
5 litre
It is the truck that my old 1990 gmc was . Gorgeous and no issues whatsoever .
Except for my dealership installed my tonneau wrong.
When they said they would fix it , I told them that your time to do a proper job was in the beginning.
I reinstalled it and it works.
With your hard tonneau down , see if you can push it to one side and get your hand inside to open the tonneau without dropping the tailgate.
Love, love love my 2018 F150. Have had 1 2017 with 5 litre, one 2018 3:7 litre and currently run a 2018 5 litre. They are fantastic. Perfect, not but better than the others. Have had them too.
I respect your honesty throughout this video and I’m sorry to hear that ford let you down. I personally am a Chevrolet fan, the Chevy vehicles especially V8 are no better. the active fuel management system disables the V8 mode and turned it into a V4 thus an unpleasant jolt through your vehicle almost as if the transmission is slipping. It was under warranty so i took it in. They said it was normal! My neighbor needed his ford engine changed too.
Follow they all have some problems but I just ain't no Ford man I've had a lot of trouble with them
I have a 2018 XLT 302A and 5 liter engine with 8k miles. I have heard the whistle on occasion but it doesn't bother me. My guess is it's the airbox.
No other issues and I absolutely love my truck!!
I was told it's the transmission that's making a whistle. Mine does it but doesn't affect the way it drives. Also the 5.0 engine sounds like its rattling. Anyone else have that issue?
Its not the airbox. They say you can add a throttle body spacer to get rid of the whistle
My neighbor bought an 18 F150 last Oct. Same oil issue as yours developed soon after he bought it.After all the testing was complete Ford installed a long block in May. That's exactly what will happen to you.
I have a 2018 XLT Sport with 2.7 Ecoboost. Have 32K on it now. I do have the warp in the dash and honestly didn’t think to much of it until your video. I have not noticed the rest of the issues you mentioned. Hope you get it resolved. All in all I think the F-150 is a great vehicle.
I work in michigan and been in the auto motive field for 12 years and can tell you any domestic car/truck are basically built to be throw away vehicles. they do not perfect anything any more
So would you recommend a Toyota Tacoma instead??
My coworker bought a brand new GMC truck, drove off the lot and about a mile down the road, the truck literally broke down and had to be towed back to the dealer, does that mean don't buy GMC truck also? He got another GMC truck that day and it runs just fine. Look, it happens to anything you buy, regardless if it's a truck or not, you will have a bad apple sometimes, just don't going around saying all ford f150 are bad, look around the internet I guarantee you you'll find one for every make model and year.
Remi Win I’m calling out you’re bull shit
@@Skankhunt98745 oh no did I hurt someone's feeling? Ok I made that up...hope you feel better. God Bless
Remi Win I’m on my third new ford truck in my life I wouldn’t own anything but a F-150. All mines been bulletproof.
Man stop...you know Ford is crap
Agreed 100% consider this. Ford sold an estimated 909,330 F150's in 2018. If 3% of them are utter turds that is approximately 27,000 bad ones and 882,330 good ones. My 2019 Raptor has had zero issues with only about 2,000 miles on it so far. I average about 17 to 17.5 MPG, and love every minute I drive it. ALL manufactures no matter how good they are, have a tendency to have the occasional problem with some of their vehicles that roll off the assembly line. GM/Chevy is having reported issues with their 8 speed transmissions, Rams are recalling a bunch right now for seat belts and I have also read they are experiencing issues with some of the tech inside. Sounds like the OP got a bad one, it happens.
You got a lemon. Take it back. I have a 2 year old F150, no problems so far 👍
Lemon? Lol far from a lemon
@@YoungOzzy432 I have the 5.0 in my 2016 Lariat and it doesn't consume oil at all and it hasn't had any issues whatsoever - no failures here
@@paulfreire7477 you have the coyote BEFORE they updated the 5.0 in 2017. the 'upgrades' ruined that engine.

I had and recently traded in my 2013 Taurus SHO. Loved the car and maintained it meticulously. However around 85k miles the left rear turbo was leaking, weld bead inside the trunk had started rust away. Traded in for a 2017 Honda Accord V6 Touring Coupe. Very happy. I'm done with Ford
Hows the truck doing? Engine blow up from being short on oil.
Wow! I had the exact issues with my 2018. Got rid of it for these reasons. The whistle was the worst. Brought mine in twice. The technician at ford said to me that the sound was normal and we even took out another f150 truck off the lot that was making the same rattle whistle sound. My dash was warped. I was expecting a better truck when I bought that lemon. Traded mine in for a Dodge Challenger rt and will be buying a ram next year. As for ford I will never buy again knowing they have no scruples selling junk to hard working people like us.
I use my 18 xlt 5.0 on the farm everyday and drive it hard, 65k miles and not a single issue.
65k ain’t shit, get back to me when you hit 300k
Thank you Varun.
Do you have the v8 and 10speed transmission? I really want a 2018-2019 f150 but I'm afraid of the transmission.
Joe J yes I do and I’ve been very happy with it
Michael Devore how the hell have you racked up 65k miles in only 2years of ownership, max. Thats a tremendous amount of driving bud. Especially on the farm
I have a 2018 F150 xlt 4x4 with the 5.0 engine and my dash is warped on the passenger side too.I’m also now getting a whining noise when coming to a stop and the truck only has 49,000 miles.I also have the typewriter noise that comes and goes . I’m just wandering if you have that issue too and if Ford will fix it?
Have a 2017 xlt 3.5. Absolutely love it. Drove a new Chevy and ram and neither compared. Really happy with the ford.
Matt Bopp Right, am i supposed to believe that?
2017, 2.7 only issue I have is the dam sun visor rattles. 1) Turn your camera sideways when filming. 2) NEVER buy a vehicle when something is new
Vertical filming is for chicks with snapchat
I have a 2016 slot sport.. love mine... you need to talk to a different service department.
Hi you have 2016 sport I do you have the 2.7 twin turbo. ? I just bought mine so far so good just curious if you do how is motor holding up.????
Thank you so much for sharing this with us
would never in a million years spend $55k on a 1/2 ton.
It's a half ton truck ford rates at 3300 lbs in the bed when I was in school that was a ton and a half
...and a short bed...
Well good luck cause they're almost all like that now. That's either a decent 1/2 ton or a cheap ass 3/4 ton
welcome to truck prices. Ram is the worst offender imo
Just bought a new 2019 Toyota Tundra Sr5 crewmax in Cement gray, got it for 38.5k with the Tss Off Road package and I love the truck!!!... glad I didn't go through getting a F150...
If I buy a new truck it would probably be a tundra
Justin The Tundra actually has one if lowest death rates. That being said I wouldn’t want to be on the passenger side of a a Tundra in a one vehicle crash off the road.
2018 3.5 Eco, built 11/17, zero issues.
Bought a 2019 F-150 3.5 Ecoboost XLT. 2000 miles on it now. I could not be happier! Sorry for your issues tho....
Will they only replace motors in power train warranty or is it in general I have a high pitched wissle around the same rpm range under regular acceleration
I noticed it used a little more oil last oil change that was the main reason I commented
I have a 2018 5.0 built in the same time frame, has 8300 miles now and none of these issues.
Well congrats. But alot of other people are.
@@brandonorozco8358 And a lot of people aren't. What's your point? Every car manufacturer have problems with new vehicles that have been given a redesign with new equipment. I'm not denying the fact that people are having these issues, but you can't just say it's all of them.

You’re lucky because some Ram owners can’t even move forward 🤣
what does that even mean
Kelton Derkach
Transmission failure.
You do know ford had to recall a lot of trucks because of transmission failures
Tx 214
Nah! I don’t really care. I have a Tundra with 312,000 miles and still kicking 😅
My 5.7 hemi ram with the 8 speed is wonderful
I have 23k miles in about a year and a half and have had literal zero issues (knock on wood). I have a 2018 STX with the 5.0. Other than the low oil, these are problems you probably would have noticed on a test drive. Especially the hump on the dash. If you drove it or even looked at the truck before you bought it you should have definitely not bought the truck. So at least that part is on you. The raddling when you let off the gas is a VCT timing thing when the engine is cold I have it and have had it the whole time and it hasn't done anything. Also you should not have paid OVER sticker my goodness you should have walked out the door paying like 45k maybe less.
There is a slight chance that during the pre delivery inspection, the technician did not check the oil level in the engine before it hit the lot. These newer 5.0L use 8.85qt of oil now, not 7.7qt the previous generation used. So someone could have screwed up.
I paid 55 for a new 19 lariat out the door. Your dealer put the shaft to you.
he got scammed
I paid 50k out the door for a 501 4x4. So you got screwed.
He didn't show the blue box price with package discount
I drove away with a brand new Lariat 502A package FX4 fully loaded with upgraded rims/flares/box cover with full color match kit for $52,000. And that's Canadian currency so it would be much less in American dollars. I'm sorry but this guy got shafted.
2018 f250 xlt chrome package with a 6.7 diesel. 42,000$ your all fucking dumb🤣 f150 is overpriced
I would've never knew about these new F150s having these problems do you suggest getting an older F150 or otherwise like somewhere else, because I'm thinking on buying a pickup truck such as an F150
Are these transmission issues also on the 6 speed or is this solely the 10 speed? What model year was the oil consumption issue noticed and what was Fords fix with the engine swap? Appreciate you sharing this and sorry you’ve had so much issues. Zero excuses for it with how much vehicles cost today.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2018 eco boost, purchase in July 2018. So far so good though.
my 2018 XLT 2.7 ecoboost is coming up on 20k miles and I think i'm having an intake valves coking problem...any comments about that?
My 16 F150 SuperCrew 4x4 Sport is specced similarly to your truck and had an MSRP of 51k. Only differences I noticed easily was mine has the power sliding rear window, center console and shifter, and the 20 inch wheels with the Sport package to go along with the XLT and tow package. Also has a Ford bedliner installed and I bought it new at the Ford dealership for 39k in 2016.
I don’t have the problem with the dash you have, or the molding making noise. I do get a rattle from the center dash grill cover when I go over bumps sometimes but that’s it. I don’t have the factory air box anymore as my truck was equipped with an S&B cold air intake almost immediately. As to your oil level who’s to say ? Maybe extra consumption but more likely somebody just didn’t put enough in yours. Pretty easy to top it off on level ground and then monitor it to see if you genuinely have an issue. Don’t forget that the modern PCV systems love to feed oil vapors back into the intake too although it wouldn’t be as much as you thought you were missing. I have oil separators on both the passenger and drivers side of my 5.0 and I empty them every 10k at oil change and both combined don’t come close to a quart though. I use Amsoil signature series synthetic and change my oil every 10k instead of the recommended 25k. Other add ons include a Bakflip bed cover, WeatherTech mats and hood shield, Dynomax exhaust, Husky rear fender liners, Denso Iridium plugs, drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads, and custom tuning by MPT. I have 57,000 plus trouble free miles on my truck and I don’t foresee any problems anytime soon despite driving it like I stole it. My last two Ford trucks prior to this one got 155,000 miles and 300,000 miles respectively, so they’ll certainly last awhile with any kind of decent maintenance regimen. Hopefully your issues with your FX4 get resolved quickly. They seem like they’d be really easy to take care of for a customer. Good luck !
Thanks for sharing your Negative Experience Jason. Super frustrating to buy a new truck and have all of those problems. I am currently shopping for a new truck and the F150 was at the top of my list. However After watching this I won’t buy one. I bought a new GM in 2014 and had nothing but problems too. Far as I’m concerned Toyota is the best way to go for a truck. May pay a little more for fuel but at the end of the day your truck is on the road not the in the shop.
Every Ford mechanic I know will tell you their favorite vehicle is a Toyota.
Thank you sir for sharing your experience
Bought a 2013 f150 xl reg cab with 50,000 miles for $10,000 cash. It just has the base v6 of that year, but it will do just about everything I ask of it. Parts are easily avalible and installing remote start, block heater, back up cam, and new head unit was easy. Sometimes the best buys are used ones that have been used enough that you know they arent lemons and still have life in them.
Taylor Carlson the 2011-14 XL F150's with the 3.7 were amazing trucks. You got a good buy for 10k!!!
Not a ford guy here. But thats what i did with my 2018 silverado. I wanted a new truck but it has 28k miles with clean shop history and was taken care of fairly well. So far *knock on wood* no issues whatsoever. But i spent 27k not 10k lol
Know someone from the rental with a fleet of ecoboost 2019 F-150’s these rental units are not as well treated as a non rental F-150, so far they are trouble free, except that pesky seat recall!
its a nice looking truck,man..hopefully you got everything worked out.I thought about getting rid of my ram for one.i appreciate the info.
Jason - thank you for this video - just subscribed. You and I have virtually identical trucks, built at almost the same time. I've noticed (every time I get in it) the dash hump too - always wondered about that. I've not experienced the engine whine nor rattling. I wasn't aware of the oil consumption issue - going to go out and check it now and monitor it. BTW I don't like the auto stop/start (and the stresses that it puts on the engine components) - I always switch it off. Drivers should have the option to "permanently" disable this feature. Thanks again. Going check out your other vids now.
Mine did auto disable. I was pushing the button always one day I forgot to push the button and realized the truck was still running at the light. as it does always now. I figured the computer figured it out and disabled the shut off switch.
@@jamesstevens2865 - Interesting! What year is your truck James? (I wish mine would do that too.)
My 2018 was made in March, 26000 miles and no issues whatsoever. Great truck.
I drive a 2011 F150 crewcab XL trim 4x4 5.0 V8 with 278k on it. It still thinks it’s a Shelby Mustang when you stomp on the gas. I had the input seal go bad on the rear differential about 100k ago. Replaced it myself, approximately $10 part. No leaks anywhere else. Haven’t needed an alignment yet. Replaced spark plugs once, Brake rotors once. No other malfunctions, oil changes every 5K. I expect reliable, inexpensive ownership from Ford and I haven’t been disappointed in 40 years of driving them.
I have a 2018 xtr crew sh box 5.0 and no issues also . I have 57 600 km on mine .
I just used a 2019 f150 from u haul to pull my boat and a load in bed. It man handled the long hills. 5.0 has some good grunt. Drives nice. Makes me want to buy one.
Never buy first year of redesigns.... I learned the hard way
Did you end up keep the truck ? Or did you get something else ?
Get rid of it, 487 miles🤔 still under a warranty! Call FoMoCo they will honor any issue trust me. Don't ever trust the dealership.
I totally agree. I bought a 2012 f150 FX4 and after takin it home a checking it over I noticed I could see the green primer on the bottom inside of the front doors. I took it back to the dealer, and they told me pretty much too deal with it. I said nope! I called FoMoCo and within 2hours the dealers ship -Gary Yeomans Ford in Daytona called me and they re-painted the inside.
I was a diehard Ford customer for years. Sometimes issues like Jacon C are easy to see on the internet, but are an anomaly. In this case I think he is one of MANY 2018+ F150 customers who are sick of their 5.0 trucks. The saddest part is the almost universal common attribute that Ford refuses to do anything about it. There are way too many other good truck alternatives to put up with this, and I would encourage potential buyers to look at other manufacturers until FoMoCo fixes these issues and takes care of their loyal customers.
How did Ford mess up the 5.0? That thing should be bulletproof by now.
Just wondering, did you check oil level when you bought it? Reason I ask is, I have a 2000 f150 that with 6 quarts at oil change dip stick shows it to be 1/2 quart low.
V6 engines take like 6.7 quarts of oil and v8 take more. Check how much oil the truck needs.
I got a 2019 F-450 it’s a effin BEAST
Niceeeee
You got a bad one, happens with all manufacturers, sorry man.
People that have never owned a Toyota always say it happens to all of them. It doesn't.
Agree. People use every excuse in the book to defend their brand. Mine is not the only bad one. Read the comments. There are thousands in the same boat as me.
@@jasoncombs9607 agreed. The state of American cars really is sad. They're all cranking out garbage with no quality control and nothing is built to last. Its sad when the Japanese are making better midsize trucks than the people who are famous for loving trucks. Shit even KIA and Hyundai have better warranties.
Had the same issue on a 2019 with the high pitched noise but it was around 2600rpm. I believe it was the airbox leaking in the back corner. I have swapped out with a cold air kit and it has fixed my issue. I can still here the air sucking but only at higher rpms as when im pulling a camper and its not so high pitched or nearly as loud as it was. As far as the other issues i cannot relate but will say I did have a vibration issue with a tire which Michelin replaced under warranty and the dealer installed. 18k miles and going good without any issue.
Wheel bearing not true! My dad had a 99 f150 that lasted for 550k and now has a 2010 that’s already hit 600k. Other than brakes and oil only issue he had was with the 99 when he needed to rebuild the rear diff for 2k. Just because you have bad experiences with a company doesn’t mean everyone does!
My 2018 Ecoboost runs great, no issues, 9k miles, averaging 18mpgs combined.
I hear that alot. Be thankful you didn’t buy a 5.0. Seems like they’re the only one with issues.
18 mpg that's it?
Stop that lying
Yup, I have a 2017 Ecoboost 3.5 with about 37k miles, no issues YET and it gets 18mpg combined.
Just hit 10,000 miles on my 2018 F-150 3.5 EcoBoost. No problems👍
Thank you for this review. I was curious about the 10 speed. I would suggest getting Ford Corporate involved and if they won’t help then I would check into pursuing the lemon law. You should not have this many issues with a 55k truck. I have 2018 Silverado LTZ with the 8 speed transmission and it has been a nightmare. I have less than 10k miles and less than a year old. I pushed the issue and GM is going to replace the tranny now. I feel your pain. This trucks cost too much to have these problems.
The wine isn’t a problem! It’s normal.
My work Silverado started making noise in the tranny. Reverse went and then it would not shift through the gears. 40k and she needed a trans. I guess they all have issues. Lucky for me, my Ford has been fantastic
I’m glad I bought a used one. My 2012 is doing great
I bought a 2013 its awsome none of that shit going on.
My dad has a friend who had just gotten a Ford F-150 and the power steering went out so he got it replaced know a year later the power steering went out again
Man I'm sorry to hear that. I do t have one, but if I was to get another Truck it would be an F150.
Any updates? Did ford replace any of the parts? I'm looking to buying a 2017 xlt 4x4 with 5.0L V8 32V MPFI DOHC Flexible Fuel.
I have to say, I bought a 2019, 2.7 EcoBoost, and I love it. Didn't he inspect it, big deal about the dashboard, I noticed my dashboard, it's not that big of a deal. I'm not having any problems with mine.
I too could care less about a little warp in a piece of plastic!!!!!!!!!!
You know, I can understand your frustration. Having spent that kind of money on a new truck, and already having some issues ... I get it. But, there's a warranty there for a reason. Nothing is guaranteed to be perfect when buying a new anything, especially with mechanical parts .... Get to a reputable dealer, with a competent service department, and get those issues resolved. Yes, I have a 2018 F150 with a 5.0 .... yes, I've had some issues .... yes, they're getting resolved one by one. BTW, I recently had the dash replaced, no issues whatsoever afterwards .... it's no different of a process if your evaporator needed replaced, just get it done, they pull dashes all the time, jeeeze. Again, I feel for ya, but you've already spent the money for the truck so, either trade it on something else, or get it fixed. It is what it is ....
Sean Yerkey Dude how long did it take them to Fix Ur Dash and did they give U a Loaner???
@@rtg722 they had it for 2 days if I recall, and yes, they gave me loaner while mine was in the shop
Sean Yerkey Thanks 4 the Reply✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾!!!
As long as Ford has been making trucks, you’d think they get it right. There’s no way I’d keep that truck with any type of oil consumption issues.. any brand new truck that needs it’s engine replaced because of oil consumption is pure garbage in my opinion. He’s probably better off buying a used Tundra with 100k miles and have less issues than this brand new truck.
Sean Yerkey but what a waste of time for your money
Have a 2017 F 150 Lariat 3.5 ecoboost with the first 10 speed transmission in these trucks over 19000 miles had it over 2 years no issues. No whinny or whistling. It sounds like it maybe the combo of the 5.0 l and 10 speed. But more to the 5.0 l. Not as much with the EcoBoost and 10 speed transmission. Good luck get a ecoboost.
Jason sorry to see these issues. My 2004 6.0 Diesel was a nightmare for me also
0
I have a 2018 3.5 Ecoboost. Bought it used two months ago and it has about 36,000 miles on it right now. It runs amazing. Quietest ride I’ve ever had. We’ve got a 100k mile warranty on power train and electronics... part of me hopes to need it one day so I can have a brand new engine and/or transmission. lol.
2018 Platinum 3.5 EB. Absolutely zero issues so far (bought in Nov 2018...as 7200 miles on it). LOVE the truck! Sucks you're having these issues. Best of luck!
Thanks for the kind words. I wish I would have bought an EB. I feel sure I wouldn’t have all the big issues (just the dash). Enjoy your truck!
Thanks! I have admittedly not checked my dash. Intend to as soon as I leave work.
Let me know if it’s warped although I’m almost scared to ask. Lol
Jason C lol I was nervous to look. Just washed it. I couldn’t see anything that was warped as described on your channel and others I’ve seen. I wonder if the layer of leather (fake I’m sure) on the dash has any effect. I don’t believe the.XL or XLT have it. So maybe without it, it is more susceptible. Dunno, though. Just guessing. Hopefully Ford is sticking by their product, though and making it right for you. Keeping fingers crossed for you! Gotta be SOOOO frustrating and heartbreaking.
You’re one lucky dude. If yours has the leather, it’s fine. It’s only on XLs and XLTs. Man how I wish I had your truck. Trade ya. Lol
I have a 18, the only issue I have is the rear leafs are squeaking, probably from mud and water. My truck was built in Kansas, thank God. U ever been to detroit?
I have a 18 also. 5 Liter Super cab. I've had it 8 months have 15000 (I like driving) on it now and the only issue was the recall for the block heater. I drive it hard, I've always had a lead foot and I'm 68 and by hard I don't mean idiot. I respect the speed limits but like getting to it as quick as possible.
Helpful video. What’s the latest with your truck ?
My 2018 F150 XLT 5.0L is on 38.5k. I love it. 20 mpg, fast and quiet.
Got a 2018 leftover in January, it’s build date is 10/18. It’s been flawless for me other than hard shifts into reverse which was repaired at my first oil change. At 9600mi I have currently no complaints, although I have noticed the warped dash but I don’t have the opening by the windshield wiper.
The transfer case on my f150 went out 3 time I finally gave up and went with a different brand made me sad because I’ve been with Ford since 2002
Black beast what did u get to replace ford???
I'm a new Ford owner F150 2013' and after watching this Video, it really burns me up! I'm very particular about my stuff like this owner.. So, I def feel where your coming from. Trust you got this worked out!
Literally was gonna buy one tomorrow, so glad I watch this and looked all the comments. Toyota it is
I live in Europe and I occasionally see people rolling around in American trucks with a V8 engine. Really cool vehicles but I'm scared stiff of buying one lol
I hope you’re keeping meticulous records of your dealings with the service department. You can’t lemon a vehicle without documentation
I bought my 2017 F-150 brand new also, I bought the 3.5 XLT 302A and have only had the transmission issue. Turned out to be a program issue and has been reprogrammed and repaired. I now have zero issues and love my truck. I also put 41,000 miles on my truck in 14 months and no not from working because I am retired. If you do not give them the opertunity to repair any issue you are not allowing a fix. To many people want to give up so easy and never allow the dealer a chance to repair or correct issues.
I bought my 2018 2.7 STX in September 2018 and I now have 33k miles with no issues. My truck was built in Missouri. You definitely need to find another dealer!!!!
I bought a 2019 XLT Supercrew 4x4 with a 5.0 in 2020 with 15,000 miles on it for $27,000. The only issue I have had that are in this video is the dash warping witch doesn't bother me since it was used. I recently have had a VCT solenoid acting up and making it stumble at isle and stall sometimes. Im going to replace all 4 since they are about $25 each. I have 60k on the truck now and Im happy with it so far.
I have a 2016 ford with 43 thousand miles and its amazing
My BIL's v8 Ford Van was always blowing codes, and the dash would just stop working half the time.
Does the problem cause the transmission to stop working?
I recently got a 2018 f150 and I just recently noticed the whistling noise as well. Ive had it a month now but Im not sure if it just started or if it was that way even at the dealership
2011 f150 3.5 eco and i love it!
I have a 2019 Lariat and I love it.
Issues
You wont soon
Same
Damian C. D. Me too!!
@@andybub45 i have a lariat loveeeee it sucks for you man better luck next time 😂✌🏽
Thank you! We were looking to get a 2023. We'll skip it. Im sorry for your troubles. God bless you!
