2018 Ford F150 5.0L SuperCrew Official Review, Specs, and 2016 F150 Comparison 

Coming back to this video 2 years later because I'm thinking about snagging an 18 5.0 soon

I love my 2018. Really digging the 10 speed too

2018, FX4, crew, 302-A package, chrome package: 53k miles now, bought new, no issues other than adjustable peddles gear broke🤦🏽‍♂️ other than that, fast and powerful as all holy hell! Engine and tranny makes noises but nothing ever happened so ,4 years and 53k miles later, it’s a solid truck as all my Ford trucks have been. I posted my own RU-vid review myself on mine detailing everyone’s concerns.

Hey, that's my dream truck, I can't get enough of that 5.0 sound

I traded my 16 for basically the same truck in an 18 F150 supercrew xlt fx4 sport in the lead foot gray, of course the 5.0L 10speed combo with 3.55 gear. Super impressed with the additional power and improved acceleration. I would say the 10 speed is much busier than the 6, but it launches and accelerates much swifter. The shifts are extremely quick in sport mode. Kinda cool to cruze and get 21 mpg, and when you hammer down the 10 speed drops down several gears and she flat out gets down the road.

Badass review Justin! Nailed all the major talking points and specs 👌 I'll hopefully be getting the 2018 f150 with the 5.0 v8 here soon 😎

That was a very good review. Love the truck; they just keep giving you new reason to buy a new truck - keep up the good work guys!

Outstanding review, great job Sir!

Just became a subscriber. Great reviews. The lead foot color is just awesome. Will be buying one within the next two months.

thanks for the Video ive been waiting on a Dino Test to compare the 2018 F-150 V8 to the 2017 and like you said in the video that is great news

the best sounding v8 out of any stock truck

I like this channel. Well spoken reviewer, young and knowledgeable about the product. Doesn't seem to do this because it makes money but doesn't really know about trucks. Subscribed!

Still loving my Ford F150 FX4 5.0 with MBRP single side after tire stainless exhaust sounds just soooo badass....40,xxx miles and no other problems except for drivers side rear window bolwing out 2 weeks after I purchased it. I can live with one issue. She runs so freaking good!

Got my XLT Sport FX4 for $45 CND when a comparable Silverado Z71 was $52. That 7 g's is what pushed me to Ford

I am partial to the GM trucks but I really love the interior color options these Fords offer. That wine color and then that blue color, man I like that.

Hey Justin, I just subscribed Happy to do so. I'll be honest and say that I was never a Ford fan outside of the Mustang. I love my 2001 4.6 FX4 Super Crew Truck. I understand what Ford Owners have Truely raved about. American Inspired Idea that led to The Birth of an American Legend, Raised American Born Ford Tough. A Salute to Henry Ford and The Memory that Symbolizes And Will Always Remain Symbolic... The Ford Motor Company.

Thanks for sharing! Great review, very nice truck & color! Billy D

I have a 2014 xlt with the 5.0 and I going to look at a 2018 xlt with the 5.0 today. This video was exactly what I was looking for, I think you just sold me on it.

best part of the review, the truck drives like a champ as evident when watching you take your hands off the wheel about 20 times during the talking lol

The Limited "heated shift knob." Good gawd. I mean, come on. Anyway...first view of your channel. Very interesting, with pro-production. Thanks. I enjoyed this vid and have subscribed.

really enjoy your reviews on the f150 lineup... just wanted to point out that in this video... when you were showing the new colors and mentioned magma red..the wrong color was put in video... I noticed because I bought my 2018 magma red in Sept 2017 . Small faux pa.... but hey man..always enjoy.the videos....keep.them coming

The king of pickups.

I now have an '18 F150 XLT Special edition FX4 5.0 w/3.73 gears in Magma Red color. I like the interior on the special edition. The factory exhaust is so quiet =[ .Plenty of power, quick truck in sport mode. I always have the air on in the cab so the auto start/stop never kicks in. Love the truck.

Very sweet! I've been looking for my first truck. I want a Raptor, but a XL or XLT would a great start.

Love my 18 XLT Sport. Really digging the STX grille, ordered one for mine will be here in a few days. Only thing I don't like on mine is the 2 bar grille.

My favorite review of this truck so far Im hoping to get a good deal on one soon but ill be going for a race red stx with the 2.7l engine

Man I wish I was older and had my license because that is a beautiful truck. Btw I hope to see the coyote around for just a few more years cuz I love it. And also I need to see this 7 litre.

Had my '18 Lariat FX4 5.0 for a month now and I'm hooked. Traded in my second Silverado (2012) for it. The biggest improvements so far have been the quality feel of the interior (no comparison to Chevy), the quiet, comfortable ride but most importantly the performance of the 10 speed tranny towing my 20' pontoon boat. Never searches randomly for gears and is completely comfortable in higher gears on the highway. The console shifter is a big plus for me as well. Complaints so far include the small factory fender extenstions (aren't mounted securly and depending on the position they are in, you can see them actively scratching the paint on the fender where they make contact. The SYNC seems to get super confused and lags at startup. I've been able to reverse this for brief moments with a fresh pairing of my phone but it seems to return. My next step will likely be a maser reset I suppose. The fuel economy has been total rubbish but that's completely my doing having discovered the fun of driving in sport mode. Like everyone else, I can't stand the auto engine shut off (FordScan in my future). The auto high beam function could use a little adderall to, it gets seriously confused in certain situations. It sometimes behaves like Michael J. Fox is in control of the high beams. I probably wouldn't have realized so quicklyi how much better this truck is had I not been upgraded to a new 2017 2500 Silverado at work, That truck is what completley talked me out of stepping foot on to another chevy lot, Great truck all around. Couldn't be happier! Great reveiew of this truck guys!!

love the lead foot gray.

I love my 2013 f150 5.0 but damn.... nearly 350 hp to the wheels of the new 2018’s?! That’s a good reason to trade in for the newer 2018!

Best f 150 video thus far

Great video.. had question would the wilwood brake upgrades on website fit the stock 20’s

just got the 2018 FX4 with the 3.5L eco boost, fucking love it, it's a beast!!!!

Don’t pull 10,000 lbs trailers, never go off road, don’t run her hard, but nice to know I could! Awesome review by a great reviewer!

Love the color

With those numbers i might go back to the 5.0...

Watching 3 years later and still love the sport grille and still can't afford one lol.

I ordered My STX 5.0 4X4 for 42K. Race red and very nice. Came with 19" wheels and rubber mats. Perfect for farm work. 10 Speed is awesome. love my new truck.

I totally agree with you that one I’ll stop starting it’s a pain in the butt and I wish I could permanently disable it too

That color looks amazing!

Those wheels came stock on my 2015 Lariat

You can disable the auto stop by plugging in a trailer plug

this color grew on me during the video- very interesting

Just needs black rims I love the grill and the lead foot color this truck rocks

AT, are those factory running boards? They seem like what I'm looking for. They're close to the body of the truck, not a huge gap. Are they 5" or 6", do you know? Thanks!

You can permanently disable the auto-stop feature by unplugging the very bottom cable in the white box to the left of the brake peddle. There is a white box with 3 plugs in it. Its the very bottom one with the smallest head. Kinda looks like a phone wall chord. My sales man showed me how to disable it. It works!!

Really liking my 19 with 3.5 EcoBoost. I went with the bells and no whistles. 4x4 XL 101A 3.5 Electric locker Hitch 36 gallon fuel tank. Hey Ford.... Some real headlights would sure be nice! That's my only gripe. Maybe the fog lights would help...but I don't think so. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give low beams maybe a 3 High beams...6

They had diesels in f150s back in 83 for the 6.9 idi

Are the hoods exactly the same? I just ordered at bug deflector for a 15... but I have a 18!

Impressive numbers for the Coyote! Dyno a 2018 vs 2015 3.5EB..... lets see the difference there too!

I like it, thumbs up

To bad the stx package isn't available on the single cab, short box 2018 xl sport. I'm just going to buy the grill for now.

A big,medium and small unplug the small one and it stops auto stop/start the light still comes on when you stop but does not stop the truck

I grabbed me a 17’ 5.0 with the 6 speed. I was worried about the issues the 3rd Gen Coyotes, as well as the 10 speed, are having. I bet they’re great when they work but I’m a bit skeptical of new designs.

my dad just bought his " first new truck" a f150 2018 62k miles 5.0 Stx crewcab hopefully itll last him for 20+ yrs he has a 92 f150 xlt 5.8 with almost 400k miles still running strong for work

Is it burning oil yet? There's lots of reports of oil burning and knocking since they changed the 5.0. also shifting issues with the 10 speed.

Love that color but it needs some accents to break it up a touch

I got my 2018 STX supercrew 4X4 with 2.7L twin turbo. I traded out of a 2006 extended cab XLT 2wd with the 5.4L V8. The performance and fuel economy are NOT EVEN CLOSE. Trucks and tubos go together like peanut butter and jelly. This is my second F150. I drove my last one for 15 years. I'm betting this one will take me to the grave. (not to sound morbid but I'm 57 and plan on keeping this at least 20 years). If I end up having to get another truck ( however unlikely) you can bet your bottom dollar I'm getting something with 30mpg and at least 425 pound feet of torque

How would that auto off and start when you stop would that affect a Ford’s forced induction system by rough?

It cool that you can order an F150 in bare primer, all ready for the paint of your choice.

There is going to be a new 7 liter gas for the super duty? I need a 3 quarter ton but i dont need a diesel

If u want to disable the auto stop start the controller is under the dash just to the right of the brake it has three plug big med

Love the 10-speed, hate the 50k price tag on the STX model.

The 2 bar grill design look better then the style front end

Can't wait to get mine in silver rebates are good in Canada right now $40k and some change canadian is what I got it.

F150 the best again...

Get the AutoStop eliminator kit, turns off the "kill my stater feature."

At 9:33 I didn't see the NAV app on the screen as you said, because that truck doesn't have Navigation.

Will Ford ever make this available in right hand drive configuration...we need it in right and drive now ford now!!!!

I'd love that diesel but, fuel prices here in California are INSANE!

Love that color. I drive a concrete mixer so it reminds me of concrete lol

Didn’t know if I liked the color but now it’s grown on me

Hoping with Ram building nice interiors that Ford begins to step up their standard features and materials. The interior is the only thing that holds me back from pulling the trigger at that price point

What gear was it dyno ed in

Agree 100% Coyote is one of Ford's greatest. If it wasn't for the 3.5 it would be the best current engine. I just wish my '11 had that 10 speed, but hopefully I'll get an '18 in a few years

TAN!

Funny you mention the auto stop lol! I was going to buy a new 2021 F150, but couldn’t find one without the auto-stop feature, so I told the salesman, “you have the sale, but if you cant get rid of the auto-stop feature , I wont buy it”. Ill go buy an older used F150, and just rebuild it myself, before I’ll deal with the “auto-stop” bullshit. Its the most annoying feature ever.

I just traded my 2017 performance pack Mustang GT for a fully loaded 2018 XLT F-150 with the 5.0L and FX4 package in a supercrew layout. I just need to make the JLT oil catch can from my Mustang, to work on the F150.

Get the 5.0 with the Roush Supercharger !

Love those wheels on the stx the same ones are on my 15 lariat

Hey Justin. Question. Do all new f150s come with the auto shut off when you stop? Or are their options?

What about the 7 liter V-8..? We've been hearing about that for a few weeks now...

What is tow capacity for SuperCrew 4x4 5.0 5 1/2 ft bed and 6 1/2 ft bed?

What about 10 leather interior of a Lariat?

I like those all terrain tires they look really good!!

Did I miss the video of the tires and wheel combo? Or would you please let me know thanks!

Loved hated my 2011 ecoboost f150, but 2018 stx magma red F150 v8 is awesome

Small correction, the 5.0 actually is the engine that hauls the most at 3,270lbs vs 3,230lbs per Ford’s brochure - www.ford.com/services/assets/Brochure?make=Ford&model=F-150&year=2018 Page #5. Great video though!

Ford Rocks !! What more can I say, haters will hate , you pay a little more but its worth it, hands down.. Thanks Ford !!

Just bought my 2019 STX 4x4 5.0L for around $38k after everything. was time for a full size truck. Kinda bummed it doesnt have XM Radio in this trim level.

The dealer can permanently disable the auto stop start. At least my 2016 f150 is.

is Lead foot the same colour as Lithium Grey ?

Next truck F150 FX4 crew cab 5.0.

Turbo the 5.0!😎

Your curve gains on your 3rd chart is wrong. It's not 88 HP more / 100 more TQ. According to your data on the graphs the increase in HP is actually 63 more HP and 39 more TQ to the rear wheel on the 2018 F150

Got my 2017 stx for 28000

fucking awesome!

Wondering if those big tires killed the dyno #’s on the older 5.0

Can you review a proper truck. As in a regular cab or Extended cab with a long bed please.

Why did you skip on the FX4?
