What Do You Get With The 2021 Ford F-150 Platinum? I Go Through Every Detail! 

You didn’t make a big deal of it, but if you are in Michigan for the Raptor update by Ford, this is great news.

Good to see Ford is back to playing nice with our boys at TFL. 👍

I need rich cowboys, GC, football dads, etc to buy/lease platinum hybrids f150s, so I can buy one in 2-3 years lightly used for $45-50k! Lol

Glad to hear Ford lifted their ban on TFL.

For a moment I thought, “The passenger door opens by itself or like a Rolls Royce!” Then I remembered....there’s a cameraman. That truck is gorgeous, despite the absolute letdown. Nice job, as always, Andre.

I can't wait to see the Raptor reveal!! Ford finally pulled their heads out their a$$es and invited TFL back. They can't have you stroking Ram's ego with all the TRX content.

I like the physical buttons for seat heat/cool and steering wheel!

Beautiful truck. Another reason for has the track record for best selling pickup for so many years

That's a nice truck! No show off, sober interior, just the way it has to be

You get an empty pocketbook! 😂

Only thing that Ford is bad at is making a nice set of Wheels. Those Wheels don't look great or even premium.

Absolutely love my 21’ star white platinum. Best truck on the market hands down. Ram (distant second) has some work to do.

5.0 king ranch is the way to go

I’m waiting for the King Platinum Limited version.

I thought I wanted the king ranch cuz of the western interior but I kinda like the platinum interior more now. I like the shuttle premium touches over the in your face king ranch

Appreciate your insights. Much more valuable than reading material from marketers or listening to sales people. #powerstroke #fordtrucks

Speeding in a school zone. Hahaha

Love seeing Andre floor it right into a school zone. I love these F150's, but the level of technology in them just scares me. As these luxury pickups start approaching German luxury car levels of tech and features, it will also mean that these trucks are also going to be very expensive as they reach higher miles

Real nice truck,good video.

This is a beautiful truck. I like F150s but they are out of my budget. I paid 42 for my Trailboss and it’s a fantastic truck I can’t stomach anything over 50K and certainly not 70. I think I’m now over the line between middle age and old fashioned cause I think ima keep the boss like forever at this point. Unless I win the lottery.

I just see a ton of stuff that’s going to break. The shifter, the tailgate, the seats. It’s very nice, but the sensible side of me just sees a ton of stuff that will eventually go wrong.

This is almost identical to the truck I ordered. Thanks for showing this!

Your reviews are so good sometimes i feel like buying one but my pocket says no ☹️

Gonna be hilarious when the power shifter motor fails and people are left stranded 🤣

Whoa! Look at this, it’s an F-150. You can tell it’s an F-150 because of the way it is! Wow!

Looks like Andre is sporting a fresh hair cut, looking fly brother!

Glad to see that there are real buttons for climate control. I hate it when everything is in a damn screen. Who needs a Limited. I'd take the Platinum with the 5.0

Cars, trucks, suvs are too pricey now. There is no part of me that was to pay 70k for a truck. I definitely don't need a powdered tailgate

I'm not a fan of the folding shifter. They should have just went to the column shifter or a push/dial style. They just eliminate all the room from the console shifter and frees it up for a more usable space or a wireless charger, extra cup holder or storage.

You get much higher payments! Cheers

One thing Ford does that I don't understand... The tow mirrors are a stand-alone option, not included in the Tow Pkg. My Lariat diesel has every available option, including the tow pkg and trailer brake controller, except the tow mirrors. Kinda pisses me off. Yes, I could have ordered a truck, but I would have lost the $15k discount I got for buying an in stock truck. Ram's tow pkg includes the mirrors. I don't know about GM. It just makes sense to me to make the mirrors part of the pkg., especially the max tow pkg. I looked into getting the factory tow mirrors, but because I have BLIS and the 360 cameras, the mirrors are over $2k.

I have a 2018 F-150 Platinum and I love it. Purchased used this summer

I can’t believe you did not test the “flat seat!” 😩

Luxurious and beautiful

Ford watching you destroy there raptors in the TRX comparison. Thought hum 🤔 maybe we should get TFL back. 🤣. Don't they know Tfl is the king of 🤴 🛻🛻 trucks. This is the first place I go before I buy a truck.

Another fantastic job Roman! 👍🏽👍🏽

It always amazes me how much the prices are for packages and options on trucks. You can get a f150 or ram from a huge range of prices.

I wonder if you put something under the shifter and press the button to put it down will it know something is under there and come back up automatically? Maybe you could try that in another video. As always great review!

I love that truck!!! 💗💗💗

When you're paying 70k for only a 5ft bed and a V6 engine. What has this world come to. Yea I think i'll keep my 04 bulletproofed F250 6.0.

Really Nice.I like the platinum powerboost.

Beautiful truck. I’ll take a platinum in Ford’s Rapid Red with black package. I never use my sunroof so I’m ok without it. It’s about time truck manufacturers spent some of their huge profits on tech while making a much better product. However, the $72K MSRP is high and still creeping north. No one in the middle class will be able to afford one, further defining a broader two class system of haves and have nots. My loaded Tundra platinum back in ‘13 was $42k. Prices went up almost exponentially.

2:20. Yes, you will definitely need stitching from the wood insert after being bent over for $72k at the dealership...

Gorgeous truck. I'm sold on it!!!!

Like the ‘18 mustang, and camaro they took a huge step in the wrong direction with the front end. It looks friendly, which should only be reserved for Minis, Volkswagens, and Fiats. I’m seeing an nice, but depressed sloth when I look at it.

How the hell does a 70k limited not have a sun roof.

@14:00 No Roman, not true. I clearly hear you whispering FULL BLAST!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great Video..... i really like what the ford is doing with the F-150. i really wish they would update the Expedition interior the same way as the F-150!

I just purchased a 2021 stx 5.0 love it.

QUESTION : If you LOWERED the SHIFT LEVER to use the work surface ; then , needed to drive away , and after you closed the work surface , the SHIFT LEVER REFUSED to raise up , are you stuck - unable to drive away ?

🗣"FORD!!!" 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Best of the best

Amazing truck. Over 70k is kinda ridiculous though. Should be 55-60k at most. New trucks are insanely expensive. Wait 3 years and that truck will come down to like 50k.

Like the steering wheel heat button. Something you use everyday in the winter.

Thanks buddy...

70k for a truck? That’s a joke.

I own a 2020 2500 Silverado Duramax/Allison. I made the mistake of taking an F450 Platinum for a test drive, and I loved it. It has about a 29 foot turning radius which is incredible for such a big truck. I just bought a 36’ 5th wheel. But, I am having a tough time giving up the rear view mirror camera, and the HUD. Yeah, yeah, yeah, terrible things to whine about.

The badge on the steering wheel isn't filled out with silver. It's filled out with platinum.

Clicking on a ford F150 video.....starts with an chevy Silverado Add video😅🙃 you are good you tube!

Can you use the entire screen for navigation or jus da camera? Most reviews show the split screen

I love the new interior ford did on these trucks. Is it normal for the bottom air intake to look a little bashed in like that or is that just an illusion?

Beautiful truck What this combination of technology features And engines I think it's a better overall truck than the ram

Did I miss the max tow capacity? I remember the payload but what was the tow rating

Honestly, I want to see some Ike Gauntlet vids with older trucks. I understand that could be harder to do because its hard find some. But like lets say you made towing video with a 7.3 diesel. See how well it held up, even comparing it with a modern 6.7 or a Duramax of the time.

I hope there's a place on the tailgate for clamps on the XL.

Are those sound enhancements through the speakers because that V-6 sounds good and sound like an eight-cylinder.

My dream truck but im waiting on ford raptor 2022 😍❤️♥️

Is it just me or are the motors for the running boards very loud? Tfl team what was it really like inside the cab?

can that 360 camera be used while your driving ?

Full capacity IKE. I want to see if that will tow my 10,500 camper and if it feels stable or not. Really would like having a generator for boondocking

Have to love that v8 sound being pumped into the speakers!😄

Andre this is the perfect truck for you but you need the power boost you should get this for your family they would love it end it might convert some of you Chevy and Dodge guys that work for TFL

#FreeTFL who knew that Ford would listen

I bet they were going for platinum on that steering wheel badge !

How do I share pictures with you guys just saw a new bronco 4 door

Actually the new Ford F-150 Pickup 2021 Amazing & Beautiful .

This is one of the few trucks I’ve seen on RU-vid that seem to have the max reclining seats! How about you guys show that feature! I can’t find a video that’s not a Ford promo

The heated steering wheel button on my ‘15 Platinum is right on the Home Screen. There is no digging through menus.

Bubbled in intake tube lol NICE

I want this on an f250srw 6.5’ bed with a service body

Love your very well done vids, been a fan for a while now!!! Please, please, please do a video when time alots on the new SUPERCHARGED RAPTOR 👍👍

$70K....nope. how in the heck is this even an option for most people?! The price of trucks nowadays is just ridiculous

Did I hear you say that an 18" screen is also available? 🤔 I havnt heard that before I thought 12" was only size!?

Nice review Andre. I know y'all had some problems with Ford but lets bye gones be bye gones.

TFL has been freed by Ford finally. Yeah!

Where's the bronco sport review! You had it over 3 weeks ago

Not a fan of the look of the front, not loving the chrome. I did not like the Platinum front end on the previous gen so I got a ltd. Love the new tech and bed power. I love the look of the Lariat in Lead foot grey.

The head lights look very similar to the 1500 gmc denali

Nice! Love all the chrome. What...not real chrome? Ok, love all the plastic. The plastic's real right? Just checkin'.

I wonder if there's a manual override in case the shift lever is jammed and can't come back up

They desperately need to put that interior in the Expedition.

I would get this over the Ram

Getting on it in a school zone.... lolol

that sounds hella good for a v6

70K plus for this one, I'm guessing? Yet, from outward appearances it looks pretty plain. Ford needs a "Trail Boss" type option. Everyone wants to throw stones at Chevy, but you can add that Trail Boss option to pretty much any Silverado in thier lineup. The lift and off road rubber make a huge appearance difference. Tons of folks buy a new truck, and throw the lift and tires on it the second they get home. Be nice if Ford offered that as an option.

70k on this or a raptor/trx?

I would love to know the est life span of that battery power pack. How much to replace when required etc.

Solid review. Very useful. I'll likely go Platinum and then fully load it up. I do have four questions I hope you can answer: First, do you know, in that deep front center console will a laptop fit inside when it is closed, and up to what size laptop? I prefer larger laptops like 16" or 17", so hopefully it will hold more than just the 13", but this issue would not keep me from getting the truck. Love that fold out front center console flat work surface. Second, do you know, can you get the Platinum with side rails along the outer edge of the cab's roof so that cross bars can be put up there without having to interfere with the door closing, and things like ski racks can be attached to those cross bars? I greatly prefer racks above the cab than over the bed. Third, do you know, would I be able to get the black exterior but have all that chrome blacked out, or at least the chrome/silver panel across the tailgate? And fourth, I saw your reviews of the new Yukon AT4 and Denali, and was considered one of those or even the Escalade, all full-size suv's, but I just love these Ford Pickups, so my question to you is, if all had decent, dedicated snow tires on them, do you think the F150 would be better, worse or roughly the same in its ability to handle bad winter weather and snow/icy roads? I think even at maximum adjustable air suspension height on the GM suv's, it's likely still a little less road clearance than on the Ford pickup, and there are other attributes besides road clearance important for slippery, snowy winter snowstorm roads. Wish I could get interior all black leather but without those thin brownish stripes in the center of the seats. Wish there was a luxury version of the Platinum that made all the doors and front dash fully real leather. I assume I can option some form of cover for the bed in back, something hard but either foldable or roll up, since those are more versatile than the solid hard bed tops that just tilt up. I was going to get the new Gen 3 Raptor, what a beaut this is, and 6" wider too, but at 59 I'm not the crazy offroader of my youth anymore, just want to get anywhere, anytime in any kind of weather, especially snowstorms, and I do love the optional massaging and fully reclining front seats that can be had with the Platinum. Just call me an old gheezer, and yes, an old ski bum, Powder Hound truth be told. I'd go the Limited route but for two issues; I want black and single tone interior, not that blue and two tone, and I want the thicker rubber sidewall tires of the Platinum, at least the 20's if not 18's, no interest in 22"s on a pickup. I'd also get the larger 6'2" (or 6'5") bed, but only the 5.5 fits in my garage. Oh well. Will still work. And I think any ski's there won't be room for on the hoped for rack above the cab, will likely sit diagonally inside the bed. Ford seems to have outdone themselves once again. Beautiful looks, Maximum capability, and Maximum luxury! Love it! Thanks for answers to the above four questions if you are able, and any other insights you care to provide on the points I raised. Great review, as usual. Thumbs up for sure!

I am looking for how to get the better gas mileage. I drove my new truck home and had 14.5 to 14.7 mpg! I was highway miles. Not on sticker. Sticker says 24 mpg for city and highway. Also show how back seat goes up and down. I have owned many platinums. I have been a Ford buyer my entire adult life. Old now…;). I couldn’t get the 2/3 seat down after salesman turned the truck over to me. Ugh. I will call him but no one is going over long drive planning for highway is layman’s terms. I am a construction lady but no time to ever learn all the cool features each has had. This time for the price… plan to use all of it. Also, I believe we all should get extended warranties! A gas engine is only warranted for 60,000 miles now. We Americans need to get back to quality products! I am wanting to support Ford by continuing the buying process but I have to by top of the line to get 60,000 miles on a power train? Ford tough needs to last longer than that!

Love your truck videos but every detail? We did not even get to see the rear seating.
