2018 Ford F-150 - Review and Road Test 

Thanks, Nate!

Man O War Just bought one.... So far, it’s miles ahead of my 2015 with 5.0 and 6 speed.... I totally recommend the combo u do!!!

@@pajamatime5750 how is the steering compared to the 2015?

I would have preferred the 3.5EB since I tow 6500 pounds.

Is it burning oil?

The 5.0 was changed for 2018.Now it is a oil burner. Google this issue.

Thanks Joshua!!

Camilo Gomez Keep lol it’s just because it’s Monday. But I love these guys.

Well duh it gets the same mpg as a V8 when towing. Anytime those snails are spinning it's gonna suck fuel. The difference is that when I'm NOT towing I don't have to live with the 17 mpg that my buddy's 2016 Tundra gets all the time.

What kind of moron would ever want a 4.30 rear end?? And I'm not worried about the "plumbing", after 7 years of putting turbos in their trucks, we would have heard about frequent turbo failures, especially considering Ford sells almost a million trucks a year. Plus, the turbos are BorgWarner, so they're some of the best available. There are dudes out there with 200K on the 2.7, and lots of people have hit 300K with the 3.5. I'm not saying everyone's experience will be the same, but these engines are holding up pretty dang well.

That was funny like a year ago. Please stop.

😂

Never stop

How about me do you see me? lol

CarterBurtonMotorsportsDotCom were you at MacHaik? Pricey dealer in the edge of a swanky zip code.

The Ram 1500 is Murican.

ibkillah sadly

You guys realize that all cars, even American cars, are most likely mainly built of foriegn parts or whatever. I think it's super closed minded to say I only buy "American" as it's not really American. I think a Tundra is the most American while if I'm remembering correctly. It's a global economy. Why do we kid ourselves with loyalties that only serve to support sometimes I forget products. I will never understand it.

I agree.

Do the Silverado and Ram truly not have those things curently?

Hi Alan... I know it's hard to believe but NO they don't! Ram, with the RamBox and cleaver recessed storage areas in the rear cab, has done a much better job than GM integrating technology and innovation into their truck line up. But both manufacturers are WAY behind Ford. I mean Ram is the only manufacturer NOT to have a damped or slow opening tailgate! Really odd! GM offers NO 'in-bed' storage solutions, and NO USB ports for rear set passengers! In 2018... are you kidding me! Ford has cargo ramps that can be stored in the bed of the truck, and taken with you. I think the 2019 Ram's will make big improvements. I'm hoping GM does as well, but I'm not holding my breath. Sorry such a long response, but as a prospective truck buyer it's a bit frustrating why manufacturers take the approach they do. Happy New Year!

Thanks Barbara. It is a bit strange, but Ford is known for its continued innovation processes in many high selling models, so it does kind of make sense why they would be slightly ahead of the game. Both Silverado and Ram will debut a new model soon though, so we'll see how they attempt to even the playing field.

Those options are for kids! Only men drive real trucks!

Gm is far ahead of innovation regarding reliability and always has been! Thats all MEN need!

Thank you! Glad you like it 👍🏼

Rob Soergel what about a used Raptor with the better sounding V8?

No update for raptor in 2018. 2019 will see updates.

Thank

Rob Soergal i would buy your 2013 and give you 1,000 more than the dealership since i'm literally looking for a 2013-14 super crew. 100% serious and located in Ohio would be willing to fly out to where ever you are and buy it cash or bank check whatever you prefer.

Raptor best truck, period. I love driving it, and before I had it I never wanted to drive.

Gracias, Luis. Igualmente.

Unfortunately we can't change it at this point, but great feedback for the future. Thanks, Joshua!

Franco Solis same.

I like this one better

Not me, I prefer the newest look.

Hell yeah.

Oh yeah

No Idea i always thought that's how they got those shots. A nice peak behind the curtain. I wonder how many takes to get the shot exactly right.

Anime Addict7 it’s the XLT with the chrome package, and velocity blue color.

Thanks, Michael! Glad you enjoyed it.

Junky DIY guy Toyota Tundra because it reliable and hold it resale value.Also the new 2018 Toyota Tundra come standard with Toyota safety sense on all trim.I’ll wait for a while on the f150 because there might be a recall in the future.

Toyota-----no start/stop b.s. on it.

F-150, it's been the best selling vehicle for 40 years straight, while the Tundra (despite being cheaper) can barely move 100,000 units per year. F-150 also has best in class towing and payload, best in class MPG for a gas engine and is also the only full-size pickup to ever earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick.

+guy proulx If you take a look at the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) ratings, you'll see the Tundra is rated either poor or marginal (depending upon the type of crash simulated) for lower leg and foot protection. The F-150 on the other hand is rated good in all crash simulations for lower leg and foot protection. So your knee airbag isn't helping much, or the Tundra is such a poor design, that even the airbag can't help it.

+guy proulx Ah, the old fleet sales BS argument. Tell me why the F-Series has the 2nd highest average transaction price, only behind the GMC Sierra, not the Tundra (which has the 2nd lowest ATP)? Do you think fleets are buying $60,000+ trucks? "how about the thousands and thousands that are sold every year as fleet sales? " Ford sells roughly 3/4 of a million trucks per year, a couple thousand fleet sales isn't a big deal. Not to mention the fact that fleets want a truck that isn't going to constantly be in the shop costing them money, so that in and of itself is almost an endorsement for the quality of Ford trucks. "let's not forget about the HUGE incentives" And yet, Ford still has a higher transaction price than Toyota. Also, lets take a look at the real incentives Ford is currently offering on an F-150. The largest discount Ford is currently offering is for a 2017 F-150 XLT SuperCab/SuperCrew, it's $6,000 retail customer cash. Or you can take 0% financing for 6 years through Ford Credit, however you'll only get a $1,500 rebate if you take the special financing. Toyota doesn't have their offers listed on their website, it just says "contact dealer for incentives" so I did just that. I went to the website for my local Toyota dealer and instantly got hit in the face with a pop-up advertising 0% for 6 years on 2018 (not 17) Tundra's, 4Runner's and Tacoma's. Ford is not currently offering any special financing on their 18 models, only leftover 17 inventory.

Haha, love to hear that 😁

@John Doe it was Bulgaria, sorry I wasn't very precise. Of course you see expensive cars all the time in London, but anywhere in Eastern Europe, they are gems.

German Quiñonez yep

Welcome! 😁

My second choice would definitely be a RAM, though. Never Chevy.
