2018 Ford F-150 V8 Platinum: More Proof That V8’s Make Everything Better

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We love the new generation of F-150’s so much that it was our 2017 pick for the truck of the year. We’ve tried many different versions, from the basic V6-Turbo EcoBoost to the fire-breathing off-road monster Raptor with 450-HP. Even the Raptor now comes with an enhanced version of the new EcoBoost 6-cylinder, a variant of which powers the flagship Ford GT sports car. But what happens when you put the V8 from a Mustang GT into one of the most comfortable pickups we’ve ever driven? It gets even better!
Thanks for watching!

    I am getting this truck, with black interior delivered soon. 2018 Platinum with the V8! If you dont like the auto start stop feature - I believe Sport mode will disable it. Also the dash button.

    Chicago News holy shit man. Are you honestly that blatantly greedy and selfish that you can’t reply to people’s comments other than hey we’ve moved. Put it once at the top and show some class. My first time to your channel and now not impressed who you’ve proven to be.

    I am surprised the Eurpians don’t order more of these trucks. The turbo ones are great on fuel with luxury up there with Land Rover, BMW and Mercedes. I think they are amazing and worth the price.

    If you own a platinum, you probably don’t care much about mileage regardless of engine size.

    yea, maybe, but after test driving both the 5.0 feels sluggish compared to the Ecoboost.

    Bmackins94 but the torque curve on the new EcoBoost is where it shines. It's got like 70 ft/lbs more torque and it comes on sooner and leaves later. That EcoBoost can dominate towing up a mountain. V8s can't keep up. Sure though. They sound amazing!
