lol @ “super easy and barely an inconvenience” - love the studio pitch guy

You can set a tolerance over the posted speed signs in the adaptive cruise control in the Sync 4 settings

"and barely an inconvenience", I got that!!

I just stumbled across your channel and it dawned on me that we crossed paths while you were filming this. I found it unusual at the time seeing such a nice, new truck out on those roads but it all makes sense now. It's great to see local scenery in these reviews, excellent work!

Amazing truck! Full- hybrid tech . Onboard generator. Has it all. Ford truck proven durability. Best of best!

This truck is not about what you need, it is about what you want. Very nice truck, I want one.

That camera is amazing! Increases the overall quality of the video, which is great

26:18 top of chat baby 😀

I drive a 2018 STX supercrew 4x4. The STX isn't the nicest truck ford makes, but it is the nicest one I can afford to pay for. The tech Ford is putting in these modern F150's is insane. To add perspective to my post, I drove a 2006 XLT for 15 years. Imagine my surprise when they showed all the cool stuff in a 2018 model truck. I edit my videos on a supped up thread ripper powered editing rig and my truck has more usb ports (LOL) This is a great time to be a truck owner.

Coolest mode animations I have ever seen!

I like your reviews, great work!

I'm officially addictec to you channel!

Enjoyed watching, although I’ve been following Ford F-150 for awhile due to the hybrid integration. I believe Ford’s utility and ergonomic cabin design hits all the consumer points of interest and ease of use. The tech is savvy and forward. I’m looking at the Limited Powerboost Hybrid. Of course the 2021 Raptor 37 negates all modifications needed for a regular F-150. 😂 … Drive safe! #Ford, #F150, #FordHybrid

I was waiting for the full-recline seats!

Seeing the shifter fold down blew my mind. Throw a mattress in the bed and you can basically live out of that truck.

Thanks…great review!

I have the 2021 Lariat, it’s a very nice to drive powerful truck. I head north nearly every weekend for a 3 1/2 hrs drive. I plan to buy the Platinum version soon. Batteling with 3.5 Turbo or 3.5 Fuel/Electric.

2:08 Actually, the PowerBoost’s engine is a 3.5 Liter twin turbo V6 with a hybrid system.

That is one sweet truck.

Living the dream !!

Another great video! Any chance that you'll be reviewing the new 2022 Hyundai Tuscon?

This is everything

I’d like to see more full size trucks being tested on your new course!

Excellent video

this is my very fav truck IF not needing for heavy-duty construction or ranch work.

You should note that almost zero F150 have over 3000 lbs of payload... Only the regular cab with special payload package in its XL trim does... Almost all of the F150 you see on the road (Crew Cab XLT or LARIAT) have between 1300 and 1800 pounds of payload available.

Awesome video

Check the mpg in the Silverado with the duramax. Or the Tahoe.

Great video, great truck.

could have had better MPG in Eco mode. Turns out the cloth seat headrest is comfortable. So I bought a PowerBoost XLT for 54k, and really enjoying it, even without the massaging seats and Blue Cruise. I do like that the XLT has a nice-sized openb box where a floor shifter would have been; the box is great for napkins and fast food. Since I am liking this truck, so much, I figure I will flip it for a Lightning in the next year, which I will like even more probably. Thanks for the good review, and I liked the camera review/ad, too.

It's 240 30A generator, it will not power your entire house, but part of it yes...This model has 120V 20A... Either way, it's still the best out of all manufactures electric output

You played too much with levels in post production in the trench part of the video (under the truck), or that's the way light looked like in that angle?! Anyway cool videos, keep it up man! :)

Love every video! Under 50K best all around vehicle in your opinion? Touring the country vehicle with no trailer.

23:25 man you had the perfect opportunity to test the locker in two-wheel drive I so want to see somebody use a locker in two-wheel drive I mean that is what they're for get stuck click your locker get out that don't work then you use four-wheel drive

I want to know what kind of flame accelerant They use on these new trucks.

everything in this vehicle i want in the new ranger

Kia Nero hybrid switches to its gasoline engine only (no electric motor) when using cruise control. What does the Ford do? Does it use is electric motor when on cruise control?

Can you test the 2022 Outback Wilderness on this road, please?

Haha...eighty miles per hour isn't going to deliver anywhere near the 24 mpg ratings; you need to drive 55 to get that kind of mileage. At 80, you are running in the boost mode of the 3.5 liter V6 and almost no electric assist. Great demonstration of the truck's capability. I'd love to drive that trail in my F-150 FX4.

i'd never get the panoramic roof, it's too hot for all that sun in the south

Considering that auto start stop was on and the truck had to start up before doing the 0-60. 5.8 seconds is nuts. That truck has no right being that fast😂 it’s crazy

Should have mentioned that those dividers under the seatcan be a locked compartment withe the seat down and locked with the actual key

Imaging running massive subwoofers with all that power lol

13:04 he really put Tesla people in their place 😂

Can you review the Ford Expedition max please?

Yeah all you need for the articulation is a rear locker

can you do the new ford stx 2021

Cam not available in India 🇮🇳? 🙁

@Driving Sports TV is the payload of 2k for that exact truck?

kinda wanna hear about that bad park assist experience

I hope that driver’s headrest can be tilted back, or I wouldn’t even bother getting in the truck. I plain hate the chiropractor-income head rests. Other than that, Ford does make a great interior. Although I like RAM shifting via knob instead of floor-wasting gear shifter

What was the actual payload on the door jamb sticker for your truck? The numbers you quote are most likely not the same as the test truck.

Cool! I usually throw insults to vehicle prices but this one I can Say that if I had the money...I'd definitely consider. But at the moment, I'm waiting to see what Ram comes out with for hybrids, etc..

using the onboard generator's 2.4 kw capacity from its 1.5 kwh battery will last how long?

Wished it wasn't leaf spring

Really interested how the diesel would perform in this latest generation F-150?

Kind of strange that they didn't put the effexxwhore package on the tester truck

Does the seats turn into a bed on the hybrid model???🤔🤔🤔🤔

SUPER👍👌AUTO!!!✌️😎

When you say "Washington overland trail" are you talking about the Washington back country discovery route?

Dang, wish it was the 5.0 version :(

find out now! you mean by watching the video that i'm already watching...

Really great review specially that you took it in to off road trail! Only thing I don’t like how you pointed a few times on a rear axles structure: “….not a most pleasant….” - 1th of all this review about the “truck”, and it was made for towing - we buying ford because it does a great job with rear end control and minimum under load squatting - safety 1th, suspension durability and comfort somewhere at the end!!! Even the welcome logo on the screen says “Ford built tough” not “comfort”)))

Those tires did not like what you put them through lmao those sidewalls weren’t nearly thick enough for what you were doing lmao

Did you find any rust under that thing

I can almost hear some old man from like alabama or west virginia yelling "now I ain't gonna drive no hippie hybrid pick up truck get off my lawn"

3.5*

How can you complain about the ride and rear suspension in this truck but own a 4runner?

Is there a mode where I can just get 4-high? Typical slip-based AWD systems fall apart on a beach for example.

3.5l V6, not a 3.6l :o)

7.2 kilowatts on wheels , now we are talking !

I was pretty sure the Powerboost came with the 3.5 ecoboost. Not a 3.6litre..

Glad that I will buy a fully loaded F150 Platinum Hybrid anyway.

Hi, what's name of the trail and which mountain is this?

10:17 as a reviewer you should be reviewing it again maybe they made changes to make it better

Imagine this truck with a V6 diesel

comes with a 3.5 liter V6 not a 3.6

Where are these 'wifi' towers in Ellensburg?

Just like phones, hybrids work best when the batteries are still fresh. What is the resale value of a hybrid truck in 5-7 years (average loan term) when the batteries are only pushing out 60% power? Two years later it's due for a (very expensive) pack replacement. I'm a fan of hybrid tech but most people are not cost averaging the long term value of batteries.

If I had 75k sitting around to buy a vehicle, I would buy this!

3.5L twin turbo V6. Not a 3.6 naturally aspirated.

The engine is not a 3.6l. It’s a twin turbo 3.5l

its a 3.5L twin turbo not a 3.6L naturally asperated

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾

I want

That power folding shifter is f-ing dumb. Why not just do what they did for the super duty? Use a simple column shifter.

Off road “Driving Modes” are marketing gimmicks. If, as a potential buyer of an off-road capable vehicle, you do not know how basic 4WD (not all-wheel drive) systems work, educate yourself before you buy. Also, there is nothing inherently wrong with leaf-sprung, solid rear axels. In fact, they are less expensive, more durable and offer greater true off-road articulation. Certainly if you are concerned about sports-car like handling, IRS is more suitable. But for hauling, towing, and off-road work, the rear suspension systems on F-150, 250, 350 etc (Same for GM, RAM, Toyota and Nissan trucks with the exception of some coil sprung axels) AND the author’s own 4Runner are proven, reliable and durable. True that they do ride more harshly, but put a load on them and the ride smooths right out. That is a design consideration. Do you want them to ride better at the expense of load and trailering capability? Otherwise, this is a great review of a potentially market changing product. Kudos to Ford, and hey Toyota, you may have missed the boat with the new Tundra.

My Brother just got delivery of his the other day and I brought him to pick it up. For a $70k truck they are definitely nice trucks to be in but being a Toyota guy, everything in that Ford still felt kinda cheaply slapped together and still felt like I was riding in my grandmothers 2000 Taurus wagon. But when you floor it man don't it move.

Why do auto review channels use CAR to describe every thing with 4 wheels?

Wow!! $72k

Lol were you listening to Tool?

Keep it for the warranty then get rid of it.

Ford is the best American car brand!

I love how a product you pay for plays a shitty little gif of a commercial on the screen every time you start it.

14:14 65.82 seconds doesn’t sound fast on a 0-60

Toyota…..see all these cool features you can add to the tundra?? Not all of them but some that it desperately needs

this is a amazing truck. the only stupid thing is the gear selector. why don't ford just use button? the driver has to wait all the way down and up and also may increase failure rate

👍🤘💜💙

Does not have all wheel drive, must have meant 4wd, they are not the same.
