2024 Ford F-150 XL: Bargain Basement 400 HP Muscle Truck! 

and no ABS brakes or tire sensors , in fact get rid of airbags , seatbelt is fine with me , don't need the traction either , AT tires takes car of that

That sounds like a neat truck. Flip that in sports mode and that V8 is wow.

@@Random_DIY I'll have to try that.. haven't even got into any of the "modes" yet except turn off the start/stop everytime you come to a stop.. hate that. Lol

I like that they are available with the choice of vinyl seats. FWIW my 2012 Silverado with the old timer cast iron 4.3 only gets 19 on a trip down I-95.

@@chuckgladfelter yeah I prefer the vinyl seat because I'll be working out of the truck some and sweating.. sweat soaks into cloth..lol I have to say.. overall, the truck is supper comfortable and gets great gas milage(for a 400hp truck) Things I don't like.. all the gadgets and the "tv screen" buy that's how it is these days. I somehow turned the radio off, or it just turned itself off when I had my phone connected to it and have no idea how to get back to the radio..🤣🤣

@@Random_DIY 36k is crazy for a steel wheel xl......lol

Welcome to the new world. I don’t think we will ever see base model pickups in the 20s again.

We can only if imbeciles stop paying full prices for it it's the consumer that controls prices if people came together and said NO we will not pay those prices eventually the prices will drop

lol that base model truck has as many features as that Lexus at this price range minus the cloth seats.

@@nathanrivers9860 Yeah, that is why it costs $45,000. Which is the problem.

@@nathanrivers9860 ........give the consumer the option of vinyl seats or crank windows...but its about the greed!

Exactly

Idk if I am insane however, I think I might have a solution to your truck issue. Step 1 get yourself a gmc savana or chevrolet express van either used or new doesn't matter only make sure that it is only the van version and not the passenger one. Step 2 disable the car battery, take out the rear headlights and the wires connected to them. Step 3 get yourself a angle grinder, a angle grinder component boxkit, a plasma cutter, a mig weld, welder clothes, welder helmet (highly recommend the ones that use solar to be activated aka automatic), some good old steel ish shoes, welder gloves, some hearing protection, gasmask or something that protects your lungs and some glasses. Step 4 use the saw blade for the angle grinder or either the plasma cutter and then start cutting off half the wall and the van roof so you can turn it into a truck bed. Step 5 depending if the vans got a wall or not weld a wall behind the driver cabin and modify it to your liking Step 6 steal some cheap rear headlights from a car that replaces the original ones Step 7 either glue or drill the replacement rear headlights into the back of it Step 8 then connect those wires and the replacement rear headlights together and make sure that they are not done lazily etc Step 9 connect the car battery again Step 10 done. Step 11 Checking myself into a mental hospital

You likely wont. Like anything desirable today you have to go to your dealership and order it.

I ordered the XLT rcsb in May and it arrived in August, it was worth the wait.

Single cab looks real sporty. Double cab just looks awkward.

I completely agree with you!

Buy the 2023 model then.

@@pulsatingsausageboy2076 or older

Any speedometer works electronically... It's not like in a watch where everything works mechanically. Plus, I'd worry much more over the 10 speed automatic than freaking gauge clusters lol

@@Caterpillar_1967 I have a first year 10 speed and I have had zero problems soo far knock on wood. Idk I think everyone overthinks things. Just do maintenance and don’t beat the truck like it’s a video game and you should be alright. I’ve always been the guy that goes and buys the things most people are scared to buy. Like the 6.0 power stroke I heard nothing but nightmares I said let me find out for myself and yet I found the complete opposite… my 6.0 never left me stranded once and I put over 40k miles on that truck in less than 2 years.

Adjusted for inflation, that would be $24,843.56 today.

@@cesarpalmos8235 and 25 k would be doable but not 38k!

Work trucks come with 8 foot beds.

You can still get the 3.3 today, it's $320 for stand alone privacy glass.

@@cesarpalmos8235 in a 2024 model?

Base models are the best. I can’t stand all the electronic stuff, sunroofs, electric running boards and extra options, all heavily marked up. It’s just more weight and more shit to go wrong. The base xl with the 2.7, crew cab, 3.55 gears with dif and 4x4 is what I’m ordering. Vinyl floors and seats are standard. Perfect for me.

We wish car companies would put base models in their press fleets, but they don't. Base models are the last thing they want to sell or publicize unfortunately.

​@@TestDrivenTVit's because no one really wants a single cab for personal use nowadays. They make it for companies and cities to use it as a proper work truck.

Eight foot long beds are only available on regular and super cab F150's, not crew.

You are correct. I meant Super Cab. They are no longer going to offer 8' bed and Super Cab in 2024. @@Sir.VicsMasher

You have a CC 8' bed?

You can always buy the center console aftermarket and just swap it in. Thats what I'm planning on doing with mine as soon as I get it.

@@63Imp283 Yes, center console and 8’ bed. Both are very handy features in our truck.

Unless things changed for 2024, you can’t get the dealer whipple with an 8 foot bed. I have a 2022 and I looked into it when Ford announced the super charger.

Yeah have fun with the overpriced EcoBoost truck till it breaks mate and costs you so much in repairs, don't believe me then go watch Scotty Kilmer and he'll tell you the real truth about turbo engines ingeneral.

They will get you to 200k with normal maintenance, just get ready to drop a timing chain or another low mile engine in, 5.0s are about the same

@chillwill5080 My 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 has 157,000 miles on it and still going strong mate.

@@chillwill5080 Have fun working on these overpriced trucks mate

@@chillwill5080 Yeah right mate

Yep you got it brother

Remember the maverick was supposed to start at 22K. Only seen very few but for 30k and up. That includes used ones.

Doesnt rly tick the category of nice and reliable. Just saying

Oh sweetheart time that has passed since a manual transmission was offered in F-150 is measured in decades.

growssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Hope your F150 is back in service by now. The “sleeper” truck enthusiasts with supercharged 5.0’s all upgrade their oil pump gears to prevent failures like this. I don’t know why Ford changed the location of the oil pump.

Well how does 400hp base with a std 3.73 locker rear sound to you ?!

Prob is then you have to add 4wd for 5k , its a rip

Lmao your gonna pay 2500$ if you wanna upgrade that 8 inch potato screen to the 12 inch sync 4 screen which also comes standard on the 24. It really makes no sense to pay the same price for a 23 or under model.

When its 5 years old and needs the plastic engine half replaced youll buy em for 29,998 with 50k miles on en

Did you watch the video?

Ordering is open now.

@@TestDrivenTV thank you for the info. I will check it out. 😁👍

They will cause market crashing . RAM taking $17k off pickups

Only ford employees get MSRP unless you know someone. I might order mine.

You can find dealerships that won't add on the bucket of slop. You just have to shop around.

@@jodav3986 if your looking look Detroit area glut . Buy online . But think strike will push prices up again

Granger Ford in Iowa will order one for you for 4% UNDER invoice (yes, 4% under invoice). I ordered one last week. Sticker is $40160...my price is just under $37000.

They made a few moves that push people who want higher payloads and towing up to the Super Duty line.

I get it, I've had 3/4 ton trucks for the last 30 years. I bought a max payload 150 a few years ago because it can do what I need it to. The difference is my 150 has almost double the fuel economy than my last 2500HD did. I don't like being forced back into spending twice the amount on fuel. @@TestDrivenTV

​@@allanrheaume5549I agree 💯. Ford missed a big opportunity here

See our Maverick playlist on our channel

What?

@@63Imp283 Does it come with a differential system like the GMC Sierra (LSD)?

Simplified, meaning that the available packaging and standalone options schedule is vastly reduced

I'd like to know that myself.

The ten speed has been sorted out for a few years now. I’m a runner for a Ford dealership and have driven plenty. Very smooth operation.

Mine has not had an issue in any way.

Mine has been great!

That was the joke :p

And most people don't know why he chose the color black.....it was the one that dried the fastest so that production could go as quickly as possible. And that is your automotive trivia fact for today...

@@user-xm5ty8pu1e my 2005 Ford Escape is still running strong in Southern Ontario 312,000 kms

No. You didn't

It's a good deal if you can get one!

Oh sweetpea, are you just not aware of what new vehicles cost today?

​@TestDrivenTV Modern vehicles ingeneral are wayyyyyyy overpriced for the average buyer mate.

This sweat pea can take 10-15k and outrun your 100k truck and that's buying a roller fox or S10 to slap a built 6.0 in

The supercharger add on from ford, drops the auto shut off and no more cylinder deactivation. Full warranty and I extended mine to 90,000 miles. All dealer installed and ford part numbers. No issues yet, a lot of fun and I get 21 mpg when I drive it normal. It’s a lot of fun when you press the pedal down though. I’m more about the smiles per gallon in the end

But now it is standard equipment on the cheapest model ;) That's the news silly.

@@TestDrivenTV semantics, it’s always been an option so it’s not anything new.

We never said it was new sweetheart. The news story is that's now the base strip model

Like..... 10 years ago. Not sure how long you have been living in the world, but prices go up and they don't stop doing that.

As stated in the video, and like most anything worth having right now you have to order it.

Right and stealerships at their mark-ups and add-ons. We know how this works we've seen it first hand.@@TestDrivenTV

Well you have to find a good dealership. They exist.

It's probably also about safety. The truck with a short wheelbase and a really light rear end not not be going over 105. #darwin
