2015 Ford F150 2.7 EcoBoost SuperCab 4x2: The best F150 choice... Review and Test Drive 

Great review. It's good to see reviews focus on what an average person may buy and not the $60,000 luxury truck market.

This is how you do a proper reveiw! So tired of reviewers bashing everything Ford comes out with. Well done, sir!

You've helped me make a decision I've been trying to make for about 2 months now. Thanks!!

This is the type of video I was looking for prior to purchasing a F150. Great review.

You are, by far, my favorite reviewer. Keep up the great work man.

Another great video Greg! In my opinion, you cover all the important points. Two thumbs up!!!

I watch a ton of car reviews and this guy is one of the best. keep going...

you sound like a pro... unbiased

That was really good, thank you, I have been looking for and learning about trucks for the past 6 months and feel dissolutioned with the search...

I just bought the 4x2 2.7 Eco sport super crew and am loving it. Incredible value for your dollar and power to spare. My last truck was a ram 2500 6.7 Cummins and am not looking back. Love, love, love my ecoboost.

Another great review! I like how you focus on cars that the average consumer would purchase. Not the 60k + ones.

Good Review. I have the 2.7l in a Super Crew FX4 5.5ft bed and I get great mileage on the highway as good as 24. in the city I get about 17.5 MPG's. So far I'm really happy with the truck.

This video helped me decide that this was the truck for me. Thank you for a honest review.

Showing love for the SuperCab!!!!!!

Finally somebody reviews a truck more on the lower end of the price range. Nicely done. I will dispute the reviewer's stance on the cab doors. The thing that really makes the Ford stand out in a positive manner is the way the doors open up.The whole side of the truck opens up, allowing for further flexibility that the other trucks gave up when they chose to move to conventional doors.

Watching this as a western European where you would not find a single parking spot or be able to fit a truck it into any garage unless you get a short-cab-short-bed one, where you'll suffer with anything but a 4--cylinder diesel at $6/gallon gas prices - you guys truly live in a different world.

"... If Ur looking for a truck, uve already accepted that truck are expensive.." that's exactly where I am. I went to go check them out a few months ago, fell in love. But was shocked as to how expensive they are. The i liked was $44k....waiting till end of year to pull trigger. Great review by the way. Love the honesty.

im actually buying the same truck tomorrow, you are right on target with your review...thank you

I'm just surprised you don't have more views on your videos. These are excellent!

Alot of looking and alot of time spent looking for this type info. Thanks

I really like your unbiased opinion. Thank you.

Nice work on both F150 reviews! Thanks. I just bought one similar to the XLT crew cab (silver super cab) you reviewed and the discounts were close to $10,000, so $36K for one with a sticker at $46K. I just love the truck, it is a dream to drive. The old truck was an 01 XL Superduty diesel Xcab with 8' bed. The only comparison is they both have a tailgate and 4 wheels. I haven't tried the 'backup assist' for a trailer yet, should be amusing! Keep up the great work.

I got 2.7 with 4X4 supercab and love it.

Nice review. I life in Nova Scotia, Canada with typical eastern seaboard winters. I have been driving a Ford_Ranger 4x2 for 8 years on and off the beaten path and I would definitely by the 4x2 if only you could find one up here. I invested a fraction of the money I saved on the 4x4 system in good winter tires (no just M&S tires) and have no complaints.

I have a 2013 4x4 STX supercab with 6.5ft bed. Great truck. Often I wish for a few more inches in the back but more often I am thankful for that extra foot of bed space. And any longer would be unparkable in garages, etc. Agreed with your comments.

Fantastic video. Covered my questions so thoroughly.

solid video, I love my f150 supercab

I've developed a love for all trucks. ford, chevy, toyota, ram. I understand why people buy their preferred brand.

Thumbs up . Love my 2.7 ecoboost also.

I just bought the 2016 Ford F-150 ECOBOOST Sport 2.7L and I love it.. It's great Truck...

Excellent review, straight to the point. Not everyone need/can afford a king ranch or something similar.

Great video, great review. It's nice to see a video on a more affordable truck. It's not bad looking for a "plain Jane" truck either although at almost 40k it's still pricy. Subscribed, keep up the great work!

TNX for testing base version

Great presentation and review! Well done.

Great truck. The 2.7L Ecoboost is a very powerful engine for it's size and it still gets decent gpm for a half-ton. The displays & controls are actually user friendly which has not been my experience with Ford in the past.

nice video! never seen your reviews until this one. I like how you did a child demonstration. I will be purchasing a truck for when I start my family and I am looking at new trucks now, because when I am in the market (3-5 years) I will be able to afford them during that time.

Outstanding review. I am looking at this sort of truck to replace an '06 V8 which I drove for about a year and loved. My preference would have been for a used truck, given the potential savings. However, after settling on the 2.7L Ecoboost I'm thinking that newer is better, seeing as they probably made some tweaks and improvements, given how new it is. Also, its a lot harder to find exactly what you want in a used truck with relative low mileage. The price tag is hefty! I'm working my way to swallowing the loan/payments and possibly heading in this direction.

Cool review video, man. I like your style.

I have a 2016 with a 2.7 L TwinTurbo crew cab short bed excellent truck I love it and had it now for two years

Good review. Just bought a 2019 STX Package that fits me well. 2.7 Liter Ecoboost is doing 22.5 average per tank. That other 2013 F-150 with the 3.5 NA non Turbo was a gas monster.

A family of six?! woah hehe great reviews as usual. thank you

Great review...very informative. I agree with ur rationale for the 2.7 ecoboost motor. I'm considering buy f150 supercrew with 2.7 motor.

good review of the f150 with the vinyl floor. in fact the only one...

Fantastic review. Super helpful, thank you!

a regular cab review will be awesome!

Greg, Thanks for the great review. I purchased a F-150 SXT new in 2004 which now has over 300,000 problem free miles from the 4.6L V-8. I have considered replacing the old girl and looked at a 2015 XLT with the 2.7L eco-boost but was not very familiar with the motor or power range. Your review was great and eases my mind about purchasing a large truck with a smaller powerplant. Keep up the reviews!

Good job👍🏼 nice to see u back

Great honest review...

keep em coming.

Today is Oct 7, 2016. I live in San Juan, PR (was just in ABQ, NM at balloon fest). I am in the process of buying a 2016 F150 XL Sport Appearance package. 2.7 Ecoboost, Rear view camera, 20" alloy wheels, sprayed in bed liner, and other extras. Total out the door $33995. After watching your video I am going straight to the Ford dealer and close the deal. Your explanation was clear and concise.

Great review

Awesome review ,,! I don't like people complaining like they own the truck , obviously you buy acordintly to your life style , budget and geographical location , it's completely rediculous when someone complains about a 2.7 ecoboost 2wd when they live in northern canada ....... Really ???? Cmon people . If you live in Florida "flat land " you don't need the 5.0 4x4 . If you don't like it don't buy it . Overall I really enjoyed your review .

Great review! I’ve owned a 2019 Supercab 2WD STX 2.7l for 7 months now. Dealer was having year-end close out and 2WD doesn’t sell as easily as 4WD. Sticker was almost 41k. After dealer cash, rebates, Ford credit discount, military discount, and a little bargaining, I drove away with a new truck for less than $30k! It’s been a great pickup so far. I live in the coastal plains south, so don’t need 4WD. Pulls and launches a 19’ boat no problem.

Thanks for the review.

You spoke of size a few times, I'd like to chime with my 2 cents on the subject. I'm 6"6" and I am in love. Over the weekend I'd tried the RAM 1500, Chevy Silverado, Nissan Titan, and the Ford F-150. This F-150 is cavernous in comparison. It has nice spacing between my knees and the dashboard and steering wheel, good overhead space (hard top, non-sunroof model tested), and the side over side space for my arms / armrest real estate is just phenomenal. Getting in and out with minimal shoulder scrunch / head ducking was unexpected, and I don't have to slide in at awkward angles to fit my knees past the wheel. The specific model I test drove was the XLT Sport w/ supercab. I swear I sat in the pilot seat in awe for a solid five minutes just TRYING to find a reason not to buy it right then and there. Now the only big question is, do I pull the trigger on a year end deal or wait for the tax refund season events?

Sensible review. Well done.

just the video I was looking for

Great review !

Very useful review, thank you.

awesome review!

For me it's the best choice in terms of configuration and price!

I was hesitant on going with the 2.7L in mine versus the 5.0, but the 2.7 is perfectly adequate. I've even towed a 4,000 pounds trailer and it never felt like it was lacking any power. When you put it in sport mode and give it some gas, it'll throw you back in the seat.

Good video about the f150 and im the 1000th like!

Your sentiments are mine exactly, I'm a fan of the supercab configuration as well, The functionality is just what I need...I need the extended cab for small things and people rarely so that comes in handy great as well as the bed for my atv's that fit perfectly without even needing to be tied down...I love reading comments from all the naysayers about the ecoboosts....If they did research on these motors and not just focus on the cubic inch or the amount of cylinders they would change their tune..I own the 2.7 in particular and the technology and durability built into this motor is second to none...One of the first gasoline engines made with CGI which is just like the powerstrokes...The motors are simply made to out perform and for durability...I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if these motors lasted 4-500k miles before any major repairs....The aluminum bodies are an all around plus and the people that don't like em better get used to em because everyone will start to follow suit soon to conform to the new epa regulations coming soon.....Why wouldn't you want a truck that's lighter, stronger and lasts longer?? and won't rust like conventional metal...I am dissapointed in the 6 spd tranny..If you really want to pull away in the fuel economy wars, put a 8-10 spd in it which will come in time but not soon enough.....Good Job on the reviews by the way....I enjoy them

I bought this truck in 4x4 love it. I agree with pretty much all that you said , I can see how the doors would get annoying in your case but I am single and no kids so I got it for the extra cab space. mine has 4x4 and the rear locker and stickered for 38000 . the sport package adds the wheels and color matched bumpers( mine is black it looks sick) thanks for an honest review .

solid review

Great review as always. Glad you picked the ext cab. It IS a nice truck, but 35k? A coworker just got a fx4 with the 2.7 for not that much more. I cant wait for you to do the Diesel Colorado. The real decision of price vs needs vs wants will come with this 2.7 ford vs the GM diesel.....or we could all just wait for the Ranger! Imagine this 2.7 engine in an Al body Ranger. What will that fuel economy be like.

very good review

Another fun video. I remember when the 2015 Ford F150 premiered. I wasn't very impressed with its styling. It's a good looking vehicle overall, it's just the front of the truck which was the least attractive part of the truck. Looks aren't everything, though. I've never driven the truck, so I've yet to get a feel for what it's like. The only thing I've never liked is its lack of a turbo diesel engine. Even a 4 litre 4 cylinder would make this ute a fuel efficient workhorse. :)

i just bought my 2015 ford f150 2.7L V6 ecoboost 3 days ago. so far i love it. pros: -quiet inside -so far i've only drove it in the city, and the flyer says 13/100kms in the city, and i would agree that it's on key with that. I'm like 13.4 range. -i dont have many people come in my truck, but when i do ( like my parents) they have no problem getting in and out, and they have enough room to be comfortable in the -back/front. -i can get a truck camper and put it in the back and still close the tail gate and lock it in there for security/still get to use the back up camera. -the tail gate has a lock that is connected to the doors of the truck. so if you hit the open/lock button for the doors, it does the same for the tail gate. -the locking truck cargo attachments and the spare tire key lock from thefts, are really nice. Cons: -going around corners,and if it's bumpy, the rear doors seem to rattle but it's minor. -i wish every model came with the folding mirrors -didn't overly like the fuel up area with no cap. ideally, i would like a pop latch then just easy access. -when i start my truck with the starter, the heated seats will turn on, but not the actual fan system to warm up the cab.

nice review

Very nice

Got crew cab XLT 6.5' bed, 2.7l pulling 26' camper 7,000lb occasionally, 16' utility loaded pretty often. Empty on hghwy 23, Empty combined 19.7 16 ft 14-18 26ft camper 11

great review thx

85% of people who buy 4x4 honestly don't need it. My 2wd goes through snow fine.

I purchased the 2015 F150 Lariat in August and took the truck on a 4,000 road trip. At no time did this truck get 26mpg. The best mileage was 22.8 on only from one tank of fuel. Average consumption was 20.2 mpg after 177.754 gallons (80% highway miles). My wife and I enjoyed all aspects of the truck during our trip. The only problems was the usb plug over charging one of our iPhones and the phone shut down. Apple in Denver got the phone back in business. Lesson learned, charge & unplug. Doug

Firstly I have to see your mountain bike. If that beast doesn't fit in a 5.5' bed without it being at an angle. :)

I bought that exact same truck in greay for 26999 with ford had a special price for certain ones. Very hard to find that deal

Good video

2016 F165 (2.7) 4 door 2wd and it get 18 mpg in the city.

can you do a vidoe on the Ford F150 regular cab with the long bed????

Thank! Great review. I appreciate the evaluation of an intro level truck. Some reviews, with the bells and whistles of the more expensive versions, can be distracting and not realistic for my taste.

I love your vid

I got the 2017 regular cab for $23,500, I actually kinda regret not stretching out and paying $30,000 for the super cab with sync 3. But at the same time, I like my low payments haha

Thank you thank you thank you

There have been many, many reviews and consumer complaints of drivers reporting poor fuel economy with this engine in the F150. Those disappointing mpg numbers range between 15-19. That was not acceptable to me, but I took a chance anyway. After taking a chance on this 2.7, as someone who wanted sort of a base model, regular cab with just a few more options than a work truck as a daily driver and light-duty hauler and comparing the Ford 2.7 to the GM V6 DI to the Ram Penstar with an 8 speed all for around the same money, my rationale paid off. The problem with those disappointing reviews of the 2.7 EB, the best I can tell, is that they are reviewing usually 4wd, super crews, and high axle ratios and that maybe the good mpg that this engine can achieve is squandered away when its combined in a truck that's going to keep the turbos on boost and sucking more fuel most all the time. I'm not sure if my rationale is correct, but I do know that I'm averaging 23 in mixed, conservative driving in a half-ton truck, with a gas motor, and that's pretty impressive, since one can't even get the configuration I got in diesel that starts at $38K, whereas I paid around $28K for a good truck with good fuel economy and good torque. I think that's where Ford's engine technology really shines, and probably does very well with respect to the truck tested in this video as well, but one can't expect to opt for a gargantuan truck with all the bells and whistles and all available capability and put any gas engine to push it and get good fuel economy.

excellent coverage

Where have you been ? Missed your reviews .

Great video, I share the same sentiments. I ended buying a XLT supercab 4x4 w/ the 2.7L, 8k miles so far and loving it. So many people want the full four doors that never have four passengers, I don't get it. Supercab size is perfect for just me yet I still have room for passengers in the few times that I do. One thing I had to have was the 2.7L payload package, adds 3.73 locking rear, really gets up and goes! So far im averaging around 21 MPG, and I'm probably around 50/50 city/hwy. If you get the right truck you won't regret it!

I'm debating between this truck and a gmc canyon crew cab? I kinda like the ford

I'd like a 6 sitter and an 8 ft. bed, it's a must for me

I have this exact truck. I got it for racing motorcycles and it's perfect. I don't need 4WD because I race in the summer, duh. I can even close the gate and position the bike across the bed. I actually get up to 27 mpg on the highway so there's no reason not to buy this truck. By the way; it's really fast with nothing in it. I've never owned a better product.

Anybody can give any feedback on how this eco boost hold on? Miles and transmission and maintenance…. Trying to get one of this ….

relevant.

With current incentives these trucks are going for 27-29k out the door.

Can you do a review of the 2015-2016 pro master city?

nice video, can u do a review on another truck like this one

Are gallup dealers starting to put tinted windows as well?

Ride and handling? I work for a dealer that sells Dodge Ram trucks and I have noticed that the Ram trucks not only age faster than most of the GM or Ford trucks that have past through our pre-owned department, they also ride considerably harsher. I do not mean firm. That would be a reference as to how planted the vehicle feels. Harsh, is a reference to how bumps transmit through the seat and controls. Fords are firm but do not ride harsh or become unsettled easily. Gm trucks seamed to have a softer ride with in the same class and often exhibit slightly more body roll as a result but track well. Rams can be harsh and at some speeds the rear feels loose over irregular surfaces. They will transmit more bump steer than others and likewise transmit more bumps through the occupants. Which can actually result in some discomfort after driving for several hours, such as a sore back.

I got basically the same truck with the factory 20's for 26500 + ttl. MSRP on trucks doesn't mean much
