Before Buying a 5.0 F150, WATCH This | Why the 2017 F150 is the BEST year to BUY 

Down right facts my man I got a 2017 5.0 f150 and it’s got 196,000 miles and it runs and drives like brand new the transmission is great literally the best truck out there no cap very reliable powerful somewhat efficient and it’s got the perfect amount of technology love seeing your vids man keep it up

I got a 17 5.0 4x4 as well and dude it is my baby. I pray that nothing bad happens to it so I can keep it forever

Theres no sound in the world better than the rumble of a V-8 in the night!

Just bought a 2017 last week. I love this thing. Your video helped convince me brotha

2017 f150 king ranch 5.0 with the 6 speed. Used for everything, ranch work as well as taking the family to church. Excellent truck

2015+ F150s with the 6R80 (6-Speed) Transmission have an adaptive learning system which learns driving patterns and adjusts shift points based on that. You can reset this yourself with OBD2 and free Forscan software to have it relearn shift points.

3.5 eco beast 136 gallon lariat max trailer package 2018. 140k drives like a champ change oil every 8k love it ❤

Good video. I have a 2017 F-150 with 6 speed and 5.0l. Running perfect.

Great video bro , keep ‘em coming 💯

got a 2017 f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost with Roush kit, it came with the 10 speed. it is amazing. Def my fav year for styling too.

Great video man and good info! I have a 2018 with 6 inch lift running 35s. I’ve got 99k miles on it and it’s had the rattle/knock since about 65k. Also uses about two quarts between 5k mile interval oil changes. A Ford mechanic told me the rattle is likely the lower intake manifold runners. I could fix but he says it’s not a problem if I don’t. Magnaflow exhaust helps cover up the rattle noise for sure. Cold air intake and exhaust, no program yet. Tons of power and my 10 speed has been bulletproof even when towing and beating on it. Keep up the great videos 👍

I just bought one and after watching 5 videos on it so far I think I made a great choice !

I bought a 2012 w/ 130K 5.0, 6 speed and I get 18+ w/o towing. Everything still working great and the only issue after 5k more miles (towing heavy load across country) was a small oil pan leak at the rear corner. I replaced the gasket (not easy must drop front Diff and all torsion bars etc) but working great now like a new truck

Also came to say I used to do a few extra squeezes at the gas pump to top off the tank, but I read an engineer or mechanic said you shouldn’t since it needs a little space or something like that.

I have a 2016 but in that color and I’m in love with the way it looks, seeing this video I’m about to finally color match my windows because I’ve had one fucked up for awhile lol don’t ask me why… but now I’m color matching and gettin new exhaust

Great video man and yes agreed. I've got a 17 5.0 V8 6 speed, performance tuned WITH a pedal commander and a Roush intake....let me tell you its so satisfying to gap some of the modern muscle cars on the street and the obnoxiously lifted diesel bois

I had a 2015 F150 4x4 5.0 with no issues at all Sold it it with 198k. I then bought a 2019 F150 4x4 5.0 10R80 and issues after issues. Burning oil, clunky transmission etc. So I went back to a 2017.

I have a 2016 supercrew 4x4 5.0 just about at 100,000 miles, I love it! Leveled the front, chrome deleted the exterior, Method racing 316 wheels and Yokohama Geolandar X-AT 33X12.5 tires. I clocked my MPH at 70mph at 24.8, better than my dad's 3.5 ecoboost

Bro I needed this thank youuuuuuuu!!!

I drive the 10 speed at work and really love it honestly. Now the oil consumption is some different but true too. I’m just looking to upgrade to a pickup and was looking at the Chevy/gmc 1500 but idk cause of the D.O.D they have and just researching up on these too.

I got a 2017 that is my baby it’s incredible best truck iv ever owned hands down I was a gm fan for years I found this truck and loved it and bought it I won’t look back ford 5.0 is incredible

Love the shirt brother! Be blessed and keep up the good videos

I just got done watching someone elses youtube video saying the 2018+ 5.0 has high oil consumption issues... I might have to get a 2017

Definitely subscribing to your channel. Keep the content coming!

Great video bro I just got the same truck but my dashboard different. Love the rims

I been following you for a while and your truck is sick!!!!!😎💪🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

literally wanna build that truck😅🔥 too fire best on youtube

First time here, but I like the video. Just a quick tip, don't top off that much! If you go too high, the gasoline can flow back through the evap system to the charcoal canister and flood it, which will ruin it and cause fuel and evap issues/lights.

I have a 2015 5.0 and has no issues so far. Cold air intake, Magnaflow cat back exhaust & bully dog tune. However, I’ve lost two miles to a gallon with 33” Nitto ridge grapplers. Don’t mind & I won’t get stuck!

🔥🔥🔥 - welcome back

The problem I ran into with my 2017 150 is the rockers have oxidized pretty bad. The truck came from Canada and now is w me in Michigan. It’s just a little harder to fix aluminum then to weld rust on a steel body.

I have a 2014 f150 and I love it. No real trouble I just keep the oil change and regular maintenance. But alot of the new trucks are mostly eco boost v6 😓.

the 21+ does have more power and the newer body style looks more redefined than previous years. My annoyance with my awesome 2021 5.0 is the noisy IMRC intake runners make a lot of clacking noise around the 2500-3500 rpm (little plastic baffles inside intake that open and shut really fast though out RPM) also the direct injected injectors sound like a diesel running lol! It's normal, and mabybe how Ford was able to squeeze 400hp out the little yote engine. Great Review!

I was all 5.0, no way I would buy the EcoBoost but then I just got over it & said I would buy the 3.5 because its faster and we like to run em in Mississippi. BUT THEN! I messed around and heard the Borla Atak on a 5.0 & shoot boy, I got to have a 5.0 now. Get a 5 star tune, ATAK, leveled on 33s and I'm still gonna be runnin while sounding amazing..

I have a 2017 f150 king ranch with the 5.0 and have had 0 problems on almost 2 years. Just regular maintenance. I will day yes, gas is definitely a con, but i can live with that because of all the positives.

In case anyone is interested, I just test drove a 2017 3.5L naturally aspirated (non-turbo) base engine in a crew cab. It was definitely underpowered. I thought it would be fine looking at the weight-to-hp ratio, which is about as good as a lot of 4Runners, but it’s a dog and the 4Runners are not at all. Must be the low torque rating. I definitely wouldn’t get one, and I’d be mostly commuting with some light duty homeowner type work here and there.

Blowing up soon! Keep dropping 🔥 fam🤍

I couldn’t agree more! The 15-17 5.0 is the way to go!

2019 ...they came out with mustang cams that year💪

Ive always heard the end of an old technology is better than the beginning of a new. My '16 just turned 60k miles, I did have to replace the engine at 47k miles due to oil consumption but that was done under warranty. I replace the oil religiously between 4-5k miles, trans fluid and filter I have done at 30k then again at 60k. Basically following what Fordtechmakuloco says to do. Mine is the Supercrew with the 6.5' bed, it it has a longer wheelbase by 12 inches than most trucks, but Ford also uses a thicker frame so my cargo capacity is 1881lbs. But the length makes the turning radius so bad.

Hey brotha great video man can u tell me more about ur exaust I know u said it's the borla atak in ther what I'm wondering is did u take the cat out? Or did u do anything else it sounds much louder then What I've heard in other videos...do u just have the brola atak cat back with ur catalytic still in? Or is it taken out? Thanks alot man!

Earned a sub from me and my 2017 f150 love this truck

thanks man

My 2017 5.0 had a bad engine stutter when driven at a consistent speed. Not till around 70,000 miles. Just got an 18 10 speed. No problems yet. Fingers crossed

Damn nice truck! What headlights did you go with? I will subscribe anyway, so maybe it’s in a previous vid, but, your truck is badass!

Great video! I traded my 2015 for a 2020 Platinum 5.0 4X4 in 2021. Thinking this would be my forever truck, I'm hating it! Valve knock, jerky transmission, clunking and whining from the drive train... still under warranty and has been in the shop 4 times. I miss my 2015 5.0, zero issues. 😢

A few months ago I found a gold nugget. An older man passed and I bought his 2015 f150 king ranch 5.0 with 17k miles. I sold my GMC. I’ve always loved GM. But I’m pretty well sold on ford. I’m not too fond on the way it tows. Mainly because of the way it likes to transmission brake and when it down shifts from 5th to 4th it shifts hard AF. But I love the truck otherwise.

I’ve got a 2016 5.0 supercab with the 6 speed and I’ve only had it for 3 months but I absolutely love it so far, gets better mileage than my 04 5.4 and it feels quicker as well

I have a '17 F150 supercab w/5.0. Never had such a great truck. Had a radiator hose leak which I replaced with mishimoto kit. As much as 24mpg! Coyote engine is #1.

Had a 2014 ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi in it. Sold it and bought a 17 F150 with the ecoboost 2.7. Love it and the gas mileage is great with 33s. Its at 110K miles and still running strong.

Love the video

This makes me want a 2017 now, badass looking truck

tnx for the vid nice truck

Got a 2016 f150 lariat 4x4 coyote with 122k and drives like new, no problem except the heater core hose leaked at one point.

regarding 10 speed. Pro: The best for applying power when giving it the beans and saves fuel.. The Con: tends to hunt for gears when idling through 35mph main street down town. The pro outweighs the con. I cant imagine ford ever returning to a transmission with less gearing.

Only 2017s with 10 Speeds are 3.5 EcoBoost. I want the 10 Speed so I'm in looking @ the 18-20 range. If I got a 17 it would have to be 3.73 geared

2015 fl150 5.0 xtr (4x4) 149000 bone stock runs and drives amazing. 532 miles per tank!!

Nice truck, can't wait to get mine! Lol

How do you like the Borla ATAK? I’m considering it because I want it to be decently loud and enjoy the 5.0 sound but I’m worried about it being too loud to the point it’s a little obnoxious especially inside the cabin? What’s your opinion.

which trim of this truck have you got? I just think about King Ranch or Platium but I don't know.

2018 f150 xlt super crew 6.5 bed 5.0 v8 and she’s solid and sounds amazing

I’m looking for a 2016 or 2017 5.0 supercrew but concerned about the oil consumption issues or the vct solenoid cam phaser issues in these motors anybody have any issues with this?

I’ve been looking for some 2018 and up for the 10speed with the 5.0 to build some power

Hey man since it seems like yk a lot I’m looking at a single cab LB 2018 with a 5.0 it’s got about 130k miles it’s got all the extras in the interior except the calc radio for about $14k is that good ?

2019 her with 53k miles raced a bit as well so it ain’t babied and the more I mod it the less oil it consumes also 5w50 helps witch is what they put when you have a supercharger

I really like your truck, bro! Looks beautiful! Are you riding on Kings? I ordered my truck in January 2016; a F 150 regular cab XLT loaded with 5.0 and FX4. It only has 12,700 miles on it. A heart attack, etc kept it in the garage! I’m going to upgrade to Kings or Fox in the near future. LORD willing.

nice truck man. I just picked up a 2021 5.0. I want to do a 6 inch lift with 35s, but I dont want to kill the ride quality. decisions decisions.

So the with the lariat trim, you get the digital dash on the truck?

I got a 2018 5.0L King Ranch crew cab and lovelovelove it. its got the 8.5 qt oil pan and been running synthetic sense 35,000.I put a 6" lift with coil-overs and reservoirs. Put 37"x12" tires and rims. Thinking about a tune and maybe stacks for exhaust. If any body have any good ideas, please drop a comment.

I have the 2015 F-150 King Ranch 5.0 and people are really surprised at how much power I can get out of it. Almost 400 horsepower. Enough for me. For now.

I’m on the fence about trading my Accord on a truck, but these truck prices are out of hand.

Thinking bout getting one of these, as my Ford Edge is on its way out i am just curious what trim level you think would be best as I am spoiled by the luxury of my limited trim but still need the ruggedness of my former jobs truck (2012 F150 XL) Any advice is appreciated thanks in advance 🙏🏽

My 2014 is pretty good aswell its just steel so its a bit slower and can rust easier probably would only upgrade to a 2017 for that aluminum body

Aluminum body is not as strong as Steel if you are off roading or pulling trailers down dirt roads might not last as long. Nice street truck👍

I have a 2015 with the 5.0 and 6speed love it, but just dont have the better infotainment setup which I wish I had.

18-20 has higher compression too not just trans

Just got a 2016 ford f150 xlt any recommendations on best way to go about the exhaust I’ve seen a lot of people say to keep it stock but I like it loud?

Nice truck, but I'd dump those tires, your needlessly accelerating brake, steering & suspension component wear, throw on something more conservative, but nice. It will ride & handle better, not to mention increased mpg, you'll be glad you did.

Geeze that's a loud truck..I'm sure your neighbors really appreciate it when you start it up in the morning...or anytime for that matter.

I'd love to know what you are running for a rear gear. I want a 3.73

Got 2013 v8 coyote awsome

only thing for me is on my 2016, I have that coyote tick from the bottom end between cold and warmed up around 1300-2600 rpm. Never caused any issues tho

Pretty sure from a tuning and power aspect the 18+ coyote 5.0 is what you want in the truck. The 15-17 5.0 in the trucks have different cams and heads from the mustangs of the same years so not as good for making power. Clean truck btw!

The original 5.0 had a valve tick. V8's are always gonna be worse on fuel but I have not heard a V6 sound like a V8. Maybe I'm wrong with the 3.5 TT, but I imagine a 2.7 eco boost can't sound that throaty.

Do I have to get a tuned before I do e85 for the 5.0 truck or can I just put e85

Water pumps and plastic parts/seals on cooling system (y pipe and hoses) are my biggest complaints.

The lift is killing your mpg more than the exhaust. Sexy truck thoooo. I'm just short so I could never throw on a lift😂

Has any one had the lead frame in the transmission go out having issues with my transmission

My 2015 5.0, 6 spd. gets 16 plus mpg. Shows nearly 700 miles to empty on full tank. The computer says it gets over 17; not true. If it says 15.5 gallons used it takes probably 17 to fill it.. it’s been a good truck knock on wood. Cylinder head temperature sensor went bad sent truck into limp mode. Only about $12 dollar part. It left me on the side of the road until I cleared the code. Then ran like nothing ever happened. I changed the part the next day. A pain to get to but $12.

what do yu think bout 2021 and above 2.7 ecoboost f-150?

420 miles to E. Let’s go 🤙🏼

what’s your specifics on your exhaust system

I found a 2016 with the 5.0 & 4wd. Has 189690 miles. I test drove the truck, and it ran amazing. The interior/exterior no flaws. Price is right, wont be and everyday driver as i have 2 other vehicles. Should i purchase?

I bought a use 2017 f150 whit 94.000 milles and yes need to replace those orings my coolant is leaking. Is a really small leak but it make me refill the coolant every 4 monts. 8:15

Do you charge transmission fluid on your trucks

I let me 17 sit for 3 weeks. Started it once or twice just to let it run for a bit. Woke up to go to work and it didn’t start. Jumped it and it started took it to a mechanic and after 3 days of test he said he had no idea what was wrong.

What brand and tune do you use or recommend

the 3.5 tt had the 10 speed and the 17 had the sec gen 3.5 tt however the 17 is the best it has the adj mood lighting sec gen 3.5

I had a 2015 with the v8 and 6 speed. Got a 2022 now with the v8

Also, the 2018 5.0 and newer came with direct injection, which will reduce longevity.
