FORD F-150 review - why is it the best-selling 'car' in the world? 

I can't A Ford that

There's more storage space in that truck than there is inside your average UK home.

it's the best selling vehicle in Canada too!

The extra travel makes it easy to modulate the brakes. Great when you put a few tons behind it. ( I use my f150 as a truck)

Adjustable pedals! That's a flipping great idea! When you are tall and lanky like me the pedals are always too close even with the seat full back in some cars. And even when seats do adjust back far enough the steering wheel is often out of reach (notable exceptions: most BMWs, Mercedes C and E class, Mondeo Mk IV). Wish more cars here had adjustable pedals!

*10:09* Stick Of Truth built-in 😂

I have a 2018 f150 Lariat, super cab, 8ft bed, very smooth ride, very capable truck, Running e85 on the 5.0L very quick and snappy. Its a winner. great for road trips, great for work, everyday.

Great to see an outsider’s perspective on our insanity.

Arguably one of the best selling in Kuwait along with all the other American pick ups and large SUVs.

No one will know why this made it

What's happening with the second part audio, it's so hard to hear what you are saying 🤦‍♂️

The interior doesn’t have expensive quality materials in it because the plastic is durable and it has large buttons in case you have gloves on. Obviously most people who buy this won’t be using them out on the ranch like *REE DRUMMOND MY GIRL*, but it’s built like that for the people who do use it for work.

I have 3.5L 2015 Lariat. Fuel mileage is around 22mpg hwy and 16 city. Yes it's not as smooth as SUV but still very comfortable for long cross country trips. No rust issues with the aluminum alloy body. Still looks like new after 5yrs. Love my F150!

12:18 is this recorded with a toaster?

10:37 That smile gets me every time

I remember the time when Carlos was working for Motor Trend. The good ol' days of Ignition and Head2Head

Damn, haven't heard Carlos since Motortrend. Its been ages!

I thought the video was going to start with “TTHHHHIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSS ......”

12:15 Audio quality: *ight imma head out*

Hey Matt & CarWow team! Great idea on reviewing US cars! Looking forward to see the Lincoln reviews (Nautilus and Aviator) and see how they stand up to the German luxury SUVs.

Title: "why is it the best-selling 'car' in the world?" Video: "the best-selling vehicle in the United States of America" :|

I am genuinely loving these American car reviews, would love to see more of these like the Chevrolet Tahoe, Lincoln Navigator, Escalade, etc

That Ecoboost is a pretty decent engine. That truck will easily get 20+ mpg just cruising down the highway and the power ain’t bad. Glad I got to rent an XLT last year for a road trip.

My ford raptor now with 256k miles and still like new!! Thanks ford!!

Actually it's the best selling truck for 43 years and the best selling vehicle, car or truck, for 38 years....in a row!

They say “car” because a “pickup truck” has too many syllables

outside camera: 4k inside camera: 144p

Because the F150 is the perfect balance of form and function. They're great trucks.

The smaller engines are fun and all, but if you haul heavy loads and keep the truck for long, you'll quickly notice how quickly these smaller engines will ware down. The V8 may not be as fuel-efficient, but it's definitely the more reliable option and you can get loads more power if you decide to modify it. The 5.0 is the same Coyote motor that's in Mustang GT so aftermarket support is HUGE, replacement parts are plentiful and cheap and people know how to tune these engines.

"warm bottom for everyone" Mat, 2020

10:34 “ in this ford you can just slot you can nozzle straight in the hole” 😂 Mat 2020

A good review of an ‘Mercian icon, by one of the best in the biz.

I like the center console and the amount of buttons, really great compared to doing everything through a stupid touchscreen.

I’m so excited for a Rivian review when the car is released!

"Slot the nozzle into the hole?" Oh Matt you cheeky boy!!

I bought my 2nd F-150, an XLT aluminum 10-speed 5.0 Coyote V8 4x4 SuperCrew. Absolutely love it! My previous was an ‘09 Platinum. They last 300k miles and more, and do everything better than any other brand which is why more Americans buy them. My ‘19 came with a $16k rebate in September, by December you could get up to $20k off, so a low to sub $30k vehicle that will last.

I enjoy seeing Matt truly out of his element😎

Some materials may very well feel cheaper but they may also be more long-lasting and useful if using the vehicle for work😏

Cant get more American that this right here *"Big, all about looks, no actual substance, inefficient, unrefined, unreliable...."*

People in America drive trucks now because of several factors. 1) Higher ride height. Allows you to see your surroundings better. Also allows you to go off road better without having to worry about dragging the ground. 2) Modern trucks are just as nice inside if not even better than cars. And in 4 door models, there's generally more room. And for full-sized SUVs like Yukons, Suburbans, Explorers, Expeditions, Escalades, and Navigators, you have all kinds of additional room. 3) And with trucks, pickup trucks specifically, you always have that bed available to haul large things if you ever find yourself making that impulse buy of a large TV. But the main difference between American roads and roads in Europe in general is that traffic lanes in America are 12 ft wide, and in Europe they are just 9 ft wide on average.

There's always one of those parked near my home in Athens. A company uses it to carry large jet skis to the beach.... The longer version!

I can wait until carwow review Tesla cyberpunk pickup truck

The best car reviews online by far & absolutely hilarious 🤣

Big, practical, reliable and nice looking truck. *Here is why*

I'm from Europe and I absolutely love this car.

Am at a funeral, but when carwow notification comes in, you just have to watch...it heals

5:21 Yuri and Jacob would be proud.

Pretty amazing sales figures on the world stage considering the car isn't officially sold out side of Americas.

Here in the mountains of Canada the loggers all drive Fords. The only truck that can stand up to the rough roads. It's not rocket surgery. Just go with what works.

"this is the off-road version..... With the sports back and 18" wheels" 😂😂😂 How to make a pickup useless at either!

CARLOS LAGO!!! One of my favorite car reviewers next to Matt

The interior actually surprised me. I didn’t expect it to be nice 👍🏼

best selling car in the entire world ever is the Toyota corolla though.

5:47 this is the best feature of the car!

10:37 Matts brazzers audition face.

Matt you sound like you’re talking with a bucket on your head 12:16 😂

“Cheap as chips” I’m stealing that now lol

Is carwow planning to move to the us?

10:35 Mat auditions for the inbetweeners movie 3

Did anybody see the big dent in the tailgate? Looks like someone used it for target practice

You forgot that the F150 offers blind spot monitoring with trailer coverage. That means you can tow your expensive boat or rv or horses and not ever have the fear of changing lanes into another vehicle.

Factory pre-dented option I see, so you don't have to worry about your first dent! Smart!

Everyone: bitching with the terminologies and US vs UK Me: where is Matt's stick??

I bought a new 2017 F150 STX and still have it! I normally change cars every 12 months but this one is so good I can't bare to trade it in. It has the 2.7 V6 with 330HP... it really moves! and I get 24mpg (in the states - who have smaller gallons than the UK, incase you didn't know). My 2017 STX has only covered 28K miles and still look like new. As for depreciation - I've lost less than $10K over 5 years which is insanely good! I paid $35,000 and my trade in is $26,000! I had it valued 2 weeks ago. It drives better than my wife's GLE Mercedes! Best purchase I've ever made.

I love how he climbed on with the assist

My neighbor in Austria has a same like this one! Amazing car!

Love watching your videos from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ❤️

how many car wash machines has that been through, the cobweb impression on the plastic around the windows is amazing !!!! BIG Truck NICE.......

12:18 Me: Obviously I'm going deaf now. And...wardrobe change? 14:38 Mat: *Gotcha!*

Would like to see a 911 turbo S drag race against other competitors :D

CAR WOAH

Awesome video. The first time a Brit comes across a REAL vehicle CAPTURED ON CAMERA!

I think people from the outside of North America looking in tend to think of our pickups as huge tradesman vehicles we try to use for everything and they did start out that way, particularly on farms. What you're missing is we pulled away from the station wagons we always had in favor of pickups. Station wagons are versatile vehicles but I wouldn't want to take one to a difficult to reach camping spot, or have to rent a truck because I can only fit so much in the back of my wagon. When you really break it down, especially looking at older American wagons and pickups they were very comparable engine and economy wise. Our pickups are just family wagons with a separate, more capable trunk. A large portion of people have grown up with pickups in North America and the bumpy-ish ride you don't even really notice. The long brake is because when they bite quick it can be jarring in a tall, long, vehicle. Long pedal is much easier to modulate safely, especially while towing. Our roads are bigger, distances between places are longer, real several thousand mile road trips are a thing because America is a lot bigger than most people realize. Having all your bags, cooler, tent, stove, heater, all in the bed is very nice and out of the way. And with a bed cover or canopy it's even more versatile. I get that it could see odd to see so many but it's just a versatile family hauler. A typical American home probably has a pickup or large SUV and commuter car. We, for the most part, also try to make economical choices with our engines and configuration and which vehicle to drive. A v8 Mercedes estate may be more fun to drive but isn't half as useful and probably gets similar fuel economy to the average pickup. Just my two cents

This is one of the most popular cars on UAE roads.

The key pad entry is a great feature that no other brands have and if it's a real truck it has leaf springs. Dodges coil over rear ends almost require air bags right off the lot.

I've rented 2020 F150 5.0L in December it's an awesome car(I've drove 1500miles). My daily driver is MINI Cooper S.

Old reviews were best where mat explains each & every single details of a car but now he isn't

You make my day almost everyday Car wow(Matt)

when he said "are they mad" I remembered Hermione

Bought an ‘04 F-150 crew cab for 1,500. It’s my first vehicle and it’s amazing.

I had a Toyota Tacoma, traded it in on a F150 Crew Cab with 4wd and a tiny 2.7 Ecoboost back in 2017, what I found, way better fuel economy, tons more comfort and gobs of power! In nearly 3 years and 45k not a single problem. Hauling Grammy and the grandkids it just absolutely perfect, running to the hone center not a problem at all. A honest 20.4 MPG if you drive her easy I can get 23 MPG on the highway, I’ve only owned average vehicles in the past, my wife if 38 years and I rate this vehicle as our best ever and she does like driving it or being chauffeured.

I think Mat forgot that America isn't the whole world

Ford put their F150 on a peddle-stool & they love their fancy LED DRL running lights 👍

B&O sound system that fords have is really good, a like 200 option on my fiesta and it was soooooo worth it.

from UK till across the Pond!!! well done Matt!!

Beautiful Truck! 😍The dent in the test vehicle tailgate 1:14 😭

I think this is the only video where mat actually uses "dollars" instead of pounds lol

At 10:35 - Slaught your nosel straight in the Hole. 😂😂😂. This was epic.

Matt were you in the USA? I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time, would’ve loved to of met you! You have been andbstill are the only reviewer who I have consistently followed over the years. Wishing much success for you.

Mat, I miss your "this is (insert car name here) and it's a little bit like (insert cheesy joke here)" Please do it again

Has little to do with the capabilities of this car and more to do with the fact that Americans love trucks in general

It’s always nice to have a friend with one of these for when you need help moving.

I like the way you reviewed the FORD. Am getting one of this

I love my F150 ! One of the best vehicles I’ve owned.

8:01 "so your load doesn't slosh around all over the place"

It’s not even sold in Australia :( You have to import it, and convert it, basically doubling the original price :/

I wonder if car wow could do a comparison between models to see how different they really are like for example drag race, rolling race and brake test between BMW'S 5 series 520i M sport, SE, M sport plus, luxury think it would be interesting to see if paying for the M Sport plus package actually makes a different to the performance

My dream car... love it
