- Help us grow so we can bring you more videos! Like us on Facebook @ / 2redline With the current generation F-150 getting replaced in 2015, does the current 2014 model have what it takes to fend off attacks from the all-new Silverado, Sierra, Tundra, and Eco-Diesel Ram 1500? Let's just say there's a reason why this vehicle has been the top-selling vehicle in America the last 37 years, although the competition is catching up...

I just purchased this vehicle in a 2x4 and wouldn't disagree with anything the host said about the truck. In fact, I would echo most if not all of what he said. Compliments to the host for his great poise and camera skills. He makes it look easy and that means it isn't. Well done.

I really like that center console with the column-mounted shifter.
So do I!
I love people who talked bad about hard plastic on the inside... It's a frecking pickup truck... I could care less if it had hard plastics...
Correct
***** I would rather not pay $50k for a truck in the first place. I like trucks with powerful engines, 4WD, rubber floors, and cloth seats. I'd rather have hard plastics on the doors that are easy to clean. I don't want 20 inch chrome rims...I want 17 inch steel rims. I want a nice vehicle that I can drive my whole family around in, and haul 2 tons worth of lumber and concrete when I need it, and not be afraid to take it camping down a dirt road. I miss the days when you could get a well-equipped truck for $25-30k.
To my opinion these interiors feel very bolted down well
With leather cover padding they tend to have a lot of wear and tear from touching it alot and uv from the sun while hard cover plastics don’t
Excellent detailed review and great looking truck in the crew cab IMO. Tons of space for all five seats and can tow big time. I'll take mine in Lariat form with the Max tow package and the same Ecoboost - Throw in one of the 50x packages and I'm complete.
Accept for the wheels, i have the same truck. drove it from portland to san jose and averaged 21mpg and did it on one tank
Wow. 667 miles?
The Syndrosphear if he has the 36 gallon gas tank, I think it's pretty doable.
thanks for the review very informative, looking forward the release of the 2015.
3 months ago I bought the 2014 Ford F150 Supercrew FX4 with Ecoboost. Man this is a NICE truck. Just towed my Ranger 620 multi-species boat (3400 pounds) with this truck just today and WOW....what a difference. I used to tow with my 2006 F150 Supercrew with the 5.4 V8. This ecoboost drives so much easier and tows like a dream. I struggled with the choice of engine for a long time. Made the right choice. Fuel economy is not a big thing here....not much improvement. But boy this out-tows the 5.4 by a mile !!!

just last week, I bought a 2014 Lariat supercrew 4x4, ecoboost 6.5 bed. my previous truck was a 17 yr. affair with a 2001 supercrew 4x2 5.4. the one is so quiet and smooth, and responsive without all the noise some trucks have, I'm all in for another 17 yr. affair.

I rented the 5.0 version of this truck 2 years ago, it was pretty nice, and good on gas.
Really I though trucks were trash on gas. It says 15 mpg in city
Awesome Review Of 2014 Ford F-150 XLT Ecoboost. 😀
Well put together video, thanks for the information
Best review yet
Digging your reviews... keep it up. When are you planning on reviewing the 2015 F150?
i have a 2013 F150 and after working in an mining automotive shop for the last 2 years, you couldn't give me a ram or gm vehicle, the quality and durability just isn't there, i realize the fan boys just won't agree but the fact remains that ford has 85% of the commercial truck market cornered.
Ford IS the most common in the Police and commercial market.
Who would win
Henry ford
Or a goat
R these good reliable car????? I know it's a truck so the milage is trash
You are totally correct, this means that you are really paying attention to the vehicles and not the commercials, whether fan boys agrees or not truth speaks with the real facts!
Red line I was looking for a 2014 or 2015 ram 1500 review n not one is here.. could u guys do a review on the ram 1500 please.
Please tell me you are going to review the 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 next!!
If I were to get this truck I would put bigger turbos in it. Do you know what size turbos they are.
My 2013 f150 platinum has a power tilt telescope steering wheel and so did the 2014 FX2 loaner truck that I had a manual telescopic wheel.

Hey man can you review the 2014 Ram 1500 Limited Edition
Nice review. Can you please do a review on a 2013 Nissan Titan SV?
Great review!
I have a 2011 fx2 that has the telescoping wheel. I believe lesser trims might not offer it.
Once you take that engine cover of there is a shit ton of room we were messing around with it in auto class like unplugging the coil pack wires.
Can u do a review on the ram 1500?
The ford svt roush raptor with the supercharged v8 is a monster of a truck
I LOVE FORD... your video is perfect i like how you were detailed thanx for posting

Can you do the Ram Nissan Toyota trucks thanks
son unas super camionetas excelnete manejo y aun mas padre la nueva totalmente rediseñada saludos
great car & review......good job
Can you do a review of a 2016 F150?
do you still have it i will like to buy it
far better than saabkyle. short, to the point, and relevant to the buyer. I don't feel like i'm watching a school educational video like i do with saabkyle
***** his videos used to be really good, but then they started getting longer and longer and just too statistcal
***** saab is good and knows a lot but his vids have become boring and just too long. his earlier vids were great
You'll only watch saabkyle04's videos when you're very interested in the car, or just bought a car and lazy to go through the user manual.
Bright Ivan that's true. there are a few videos of his i watched all the way through because i absolutley loved the car. like his bugatti veyron one. i think the last one i watched all the way through was his dodge charger one becuase i was looking at buying one.
daniel55645 whenever I'm watching his videos, I find myself skipping most of the part and ended up nothing. But this one, can't believe that I've watched the whole thing without skipping or anything for most of his videos.
Do the dodge 2012 long horn its beautiful
can you guys review a cx-5?
Great job.. Thank you.
When can you do a review on a chevrolet spark ev?
Nice review. Good job.
What about the carbon buildup with this DI 3.6 is pretty big
I still want this truck lol
Fantastic truck 👍🏼 Always depend on Ford
Man I've always wanted an F-150 either a 97-03 or a current gen F-150 V8 preferably but that's just my opinion I know a lot of people like the ecoboost
R these good reliable car????? I know it's a truck so the milage is trash
@@scorpiocara6798 I’d say yeah, obv do you’re research before.
People ask to much from a work truck. I mean sure it can be nice such as this one, but you don't need leather stitch in the somewhat base model truck. Not to say that I'd like the entertainment screen in the xlt xtr, better for if I had glove's on and didn't want to get the screen dirty and scratched to turn up the heat. Now even though this is a beautiful truck, it doesn't need the feature's as you said it could have. Because otherwise you may as well put a lariat badge on it, or just go buy a lariat cause majority of the time their not that much more costly then the xlt xtr ( depending on the option's and features).

you can't complain that the f150 has cheaper interior than the silverado when you don't even compare equivalent models of each truck.. Ltz is the high end you can buy in a silverado so you compare it with the fx4
Thinking about getting a used one tomorrow.

Is the extended cab a little crowded for a person over 6 ft tall? I was wondering because i was askin for a 04 through 08 f150 super cab. Please answer quick because me and my dad see this really nice deal on one.
Out of experience, I sat in the back of a 2004 F150 FX4 with the SuperCab and the rear leg room is not great. I'm 5'9" and I was a bit cramped, however, I have long legs for my height. Granted, the front seat was pretty far back. For anyone over 6'0" tall, it will be crowded in the back seat, but the front seat isn't any different than a SuperCrew.
I would get the SuperCab over the SuperCrew any day just for the 6.5 ft bed though. The SuperCrew comes standard with the ridiculously short 5.5 ft. bed. You can get a SuperCrew with the 6.5 ft. bed, but then the truck becomes incredibly long and won't fit in some garages. Just my 2 cents.
Fordguy1997 Yeah. I got the SuperCab just for the 6.5' box. I don't have kids so the SuperCrew isn't needed.
Zack Zander Good choice. Thanks for the feedback, by the way.
try the f150 raptor that things a monster
I loved the video. I just bought a 2014 f-150. Trying to get the engine sound. When i heard your engine. A little bit releaved. My truck sounds the same. That tapping sound freak me out. I Took it back to the dealer. Because i didn't like that sound. They told me that's the way the truck was manufatured. Other than that the truck is great.😃
R these good reliable car????? I know it's a truck so the milage is trash
That sound is the high pressure mechanical fuel pump
We purchased the 2011 F-150 Limited 6.2L V8, it was love at first sight. One day we were driving along the tollway access road (speed limit of 50). This lady driving a range rover (with brush guard) hit us from behind going 60! Needless to say that the frame on the truck was completely crumpled underneath the bed of the truck, along with some under the cab ($15,000 in damages). We had the vehicle repaired and traded for the 2013 F-150 Limited Eco-Boost (3.5L). The moment we drove the car off, I knew the truck was going to have issue. I did NOT like the turbo charged engine, we had previously been doing research on BMW's for me, cars such as the 335i or 535i. I had heard terrible things about the turbo engines things such as dying fuel pumps, engines stalling, and etc. Needless to say there are currently lawsuits against Ford for this engine specifically. As soon as we saw the news articles, testimonies, and opinions from other owners of trucks with this engine, we immediately traded it in. I will give Ford props on the interior of the car, I LOVED the red interior and badging all around the truck. The MyFord Touch system was not the best system, we had this in our 2011 Edge Sport and it was HORRIBLE, which when we traded for the 2011 Limited we went back to the original navigation system, which over time they did make some much needed revisions. Overall, the F-150's are a wonderful line up if you ask me, but in a $54,000 truck, I would expect the engine to be dependable, and achieve the displayed gas mileage of 16/22/18 and in reality I only ever achieved 13 in the city and only 15 on the highway...
Just curious as to why you thought it was not going to be dependable, and why you bought it in the first place if you knew all of that stuff.
The 2011 Limited is a great truck. My dad one and it is fantastic. No issues at all.
Mainly because of the engine start-up. When the engine started, it seemed to take a long time for the turbos to get up to speed was one of the major hints. Plus driving it on colder/humid days the throttle response was awful! We did not have time to do research on the vehicle because our 2011 Limited was fixed at the dealership and we arrived early to look at the new truck to see the features to see what it had to offer. We talked with a sales rep which he knew what condition our 2011 was in, proceeded to check CarFax and the accident had not been reported at the time. So we immediately traded (never driven after repair) on the spot getting normal value for our 2011, instead of having practically a salvaged title, where later we would have had to file a diminished claim case. Which we later came to find that it did end up on CarFax and the ford dealer was forced to auction the car off with thousands less than what they paid, because the vehicle was not "safe to sell." Which I guess it was safe for us to drive but not to sell. So basically we went into the purchase blind sighted. But the 2011 was flawless.
R the 2014 ford F-150 XLT good reliable cars? Ik it's a truck so the gas mileage is trash
Does this one burst into flames unexpectedly like the Escape and fusion?
@@SharkPerformanceGaming
Wtf kinda State you in
Florida?
Did their vape pen explode?
Lack of automotive history here really!
You should do a supercab
How about do a Tundra
My limited has telescopic wheel too
FORD RULES
Best Ecoboost year by far. Had all the kinks worked out, a good transmission, and stilll had a steel bed- also looks great.
I am considering buying this year, you think the 5.0 is the better option or this eco boost?
@@alexmendoza9062 I would go with a 5.0 personally, but the ecoboost is a solid truck. These were my favorite year for them too. This was the last year of the steel beds, which I prefer. The transmissions are great this year and they had all the kinks out of the ecoboost already.. if you tow a lot, I would go with an ecoboost, if you don't tow much, the 5.0 is better as an all around truck motor in my opinion.
What does eco boost do?
@@scorpiocara6798 it is just what they call the turbo system on Fords since about 2011. It refers to an 'eco'nomical turbo 'boost'.
@@jaymase3735 oh I never knew ok. So does it basically mean it gives your car more power without harming the environment as much?
I have to say the RAM ECO Diesel and 8 spd is where its at.
I see a lot of people crying abouy how a newer truck isn't a real truck because its too fancy and I don't understand. You can still get a barebone truck plus these trucks can be worked harder.
What's going on with the lawsuits on the Ford Ecoboost engines? I hear it conks out at hwy speeds out of the blue.
R these good reliable car????? I know it's a truck so the milage is trash
I like it but I'm sticking with my 2010 Lincoln Navagator
2015 review soon? Redline Reviews
But is it easy to work on lol. I want one but I want to make sure my truck choice is easy to work on.
Ford needs to bring over the global ranger to the US. I just bought one in Fiji with the 5 cylinder 3.2 diesel that gets 30 MPG and can tow 7000 lbs. Next year Ford will shed 700 lbs and ad a 2.7 ecoboost to the F150 but its still going to be huge. The newer global ranger is fantastic and light years ahead of the old US ranger. IMO, its large enough for most and can literally pull a steam locomotive out of its garage.. just look up the youtube on that.
any1 know how to keep the back-up camera on all the time?
R these good reliable car????? I know it's a truck so the milage is trash
@@scorpiocara6798 Wow 7 yrs ago! So yes the FORD truck will last (just keep up with general maintenance) 5 years or +150,000 miles before u have any real problems.
@@chisel954 ikr I'm looking at a 14. Ok thanks for confirming that with me as I've read that on Google that things start to go wrong at the 150 mark and the one I'm looking at already had 130 so I think I'm going to pass. Good information to keep in mind though for the future. What kind of problems like transmission and engine failures?
Trucks are more expensive than I thought. They are nice though.
I really don't like the center console which is the captain's chairs in the front row

where do you live,its so sunny ?!
FreshMotion1 His usual roads look like Washington DC
my uncle bought this truck brand new and in 2019 he was towing a trailer (vacation trip's) And on the way, His engin started running rough, then he tried flooring it,(he has this exact modle with ecobooost) and it was rough take off, Then the check engin like came on, turns out the eco boost got busted and it was gonna be 10k to fix it, He said screw it and traded it in for a 2019-2020 ford f350, He says it tows way better and is way better. xD
Is that just for the Ecoboost truck
This is the best truck value out there. Toyota is close but too expensive. Dodge has a nice stylish Ram but past mechanical issues scared me away. GM is still building 20th century trucks and are grossly over priced. No wonder Ford owns the truck market and the 2015 model will probably help them grab a bigger share.
which do you like better the dodge ram or ford f150?
I Hate that trucks are not trucks nowadays. They trying to make trucks look and feel and drive like a sports vehicles or luxurious vehicles. Trucks are made to be Used, Get Muddy, Haul/Tow, Go Camping In The Woods, Have 3 people in the front seat, sound like a truck when you shut a door or the hood. I get trying to save on fuel MPG and add more power. But common its a TRUCK not a damn sports vehicle or luxurious vehicle. hell i have a 1997 ford f150 with 261k miles on it and runs great . I also have a 1987 ford f150 with 318k on it and runs good and i have a 2003 Ford F-150 Lariat crew cab with 173K also runs good. Its all in how you take care of the engine and replace parts when they start to go bad and don't wait to fix them. They not made to look pretty or feel like you are diving for NASCAR!
R these good cars ik it's a truck so the mileage is bad but are they good reliable cars the 2014 150
I agree I like the look and feel of a real trick. The new fancy trucks look like a fancy SUV or car on the inside....it's like if I wanted that I wouldve just gone for a sedan. Weird
Is the new model going to be the atlas
You can get all the upgrades you were talking about on a Lariat, a step down from the FX4

More torque and horsepower*****
$1,000 for headlights? wow
You consider this a huge truck? What about the 3/4 ton and 1 ton Trucks? And nice review thanks
+Landon Kaufman Well it is for a 1/2 ton. I mean have you looked at a Gm and Ram back seat compared to the f-150? And just the cab size and whole truck in general? It's pretty big. But I get what you mean.
+Kyle Fitzgerald I'm just used to a F-250 extended long bed, and a crew f350 long bed, so every time I get into to a car or even a half ton, everything seems small
Landon Kaufman Yeah, I get what you mean.
I test drove a 2011 F150 ecoboost. I just do not like the way it sounds, and I do not like the power delivery of the Turbo v6. Not to mention the shady reliability of the ecoboost. I would take a naturally aspirated v8 any day, despite the small MPG penalty. Unless you go to the new silverados 5.3 v8 where you get the best of both worlds.
The 6.3l v8 (in the silverado) is more fuel efficient than this truck, and it has more horsepower and torque.
You get the best of both worlds? Really? No, you get 1MPG highway better than the Ecoboost with wayyyyy less power and torque and awful transmission programming. Not to mention the laggy cylinder deactivation. I hated the 5.3 when I drove it. The 5.0 Ford is where it's at.
HCFX2011 My point is that the the eco-boost v6 is terrible.
It's not terrible by any means. It just needs some more refinement and R&D
he never talked about the Audio....
Is it bad? I am looking to get this truck real soon.
I heard it's decent
***** you can always upgrade it right?
Of course you can, Every thing that has a Audio system can be upraded, Ex: BOSE audio works great and the bass is huge
you can add a kicker woofer but thats about it on the basic XL....I dont know about the higher ones like Plat,etc...I wonder how much an HK or B&O sound system would cost to purchase

Sound like the it's going to blow with knock of the engine
That direct injection buddy
my phone has a bigger display
malavpatel77 phone can do 10x as much. It’s a truck dumbass keep ya eyes on the road
The Silverado had 460 ft/lb torque... Well, I mean with the 6.2 EcoTec. But still, 420 torque is not class leading. The silverado leads the class with Horsepower, Torque, towing, and fuel efficiency.
comparing a new truck to a 5 year old one isnt exactly fair tho....
***** I was comparing a 2014 Silverado 1500 and a 2014 Ford F-150...
Just wait one more year and those numbers will change but Im not here to bash chevy. I own a chevy and its been a good car so props to Chevy and ford : )
before you put confidence in the new 6.2 please go to the "fast lane car" videos and check out the hill pull between the ecobosst and 6.2l GM motor.
I feel like he doesnt really tell me information i already no or is just common since... He likesss to bias about somethings
Silverado can't compare to this.
