I just bought one of these. I was in the market for my first pickup truck. It was between the Hemi RAM and the F150 XLT. I have no regrets.

I guess you drove both? The new Rams are very impressive, it would have to be my first choice if buying a new pickup today. Interiors are light years beyond Fords, and the ride quality is awesome.

My dad has a 2011 Ford F-150 3.5 ecoboost and we haven’t had any problems except having to change the spark plugs twice. Overall it is a great, FAST, and a reliable truck.

Great review! Beautiful Truck! I just have the lil 2.7 EB, 0-60 WLC fly, can’t imagine how well the 3.5 EB runs!!!👍

Have the Platinum; beautiful, reliable, great power and zero problems. The 3.5 has really been great. Not one complaint.

Thanks for the Video, which was great. you showed interesting points for me , I have had Ford diesel f-250 and the gas f-150 , so at my age I don't do what i use to so I will go back to gas engine. I have a explorer sports 3.5 and I love it I will get a 3.5 f-150 Truck. I have always bought ford trucks except one International 74 model. the chevy guys has always rode me but they can't win me over , once again thanks for a great show and tell video.

Great review. Own my own business and need a truck and looked at silverados, rams, and f150s. Just locked in a f150 xlt super crew with the chrome trim package, and leather interior plus all the same bells and whistles you have. I had an A plan discount number but im leasing it at $290 a month with an option to buy in two years. 12,000 miles a year. Great deal and im in love. Got it in Lansing Michigan btw! Thanks for helping me make the choice.

Rafael Estrada i just traded in my dodge avenger as my money down. They gave me $4k for a trade in, certainly a substantial amount but nothing out of the ordinary for a trade in. I did get some discounts/rebates and utilized multiple ford dealerships who competed with one anothers offers.

Great video Griff! Let me know if you come across any issues I am planning to buy one very soon. 3.5L Eco seems like the way to go. Maybe an MPG update sometime would be cool.

Johnny Khun Thanks for the comment! I actually just ran into my first "issue". Had some weird transmission slipping going on. Had it looked at and nothing was found. Ford reflashed my computer and the issue has been resolved. So may have just been a fluke in the computer. I am now at 5000 miles and I'm averaging about 19 mpg combined. I can hit about 22 at most on the highway so far. Any more questions let me know!

Good review. Only thing I take issue with is the key- I hate the old school key on our 2016 F150, it feels flimsy and like it will break eventually. A simple start button is far more convenient, and I would say no more likely to break than any other button, such as the start/stop button. Which I disable first thing BTW :)

Great review.

My xlt doesn't have most of the goodies yours does. Very nice.

That’s a really nice looking truck I was kinda debating on the Ecoboost I’ve read pretty good reviews on them seems they got all the kinks out since they were first built that truck has a lot for an XLT only dislike I have is the bedliner and the tailgate the emblem in the middle to me just doesn’t look right I’m going shopping maybe next year for one

Good friend in Longview Texas has a first gen 3.5 ecoboost, nearly 200k no turbo replacement and yes his truck works hard, he’s a hay farmer.

Just traded my 2014 FX4 for a 2018 lariat EcoBoost both of them but this one is so much nicer they really did a good job on this one I think

I have the identical truck except it's a 17. It also has the auto start/stop and I had to replace the starter at 22500 miles.

Don't care for the pinstripe or the console shifter, still a beautiful truck. Ordered mine July 4th but I got 2wd xlt sport leadfoot gray with the floor shifter. Waiting for it to be built. Can I ask when you put it in sport does it disable start stop?

Bought a 2018 xlt FX4 with the special sport edition package. Finding out that I'm not a huge fan of the 10 speed..full throttle acceleration it shifts great, but just normal driving around town it can't decide what gear to use. Miss my 6 speed.

How’s the towing with this, I’m looking for a truck to pull my 18ft boat. I sold my 2015 Silverado earlier this year. But now don’t know if to go with a 3.5 eco boost or a 5.3. I like the ford have more room inside.

What about the 2.7 eco boost? I'm thinking about buying but don't know much about them. I test drove one this weekend and seems to have good power but need good gas mileage if I'm not going with 5.0

David Flores Honestly I know two people who have the 2.7 and the mileage is not much different from the 3.5. My mpgs DRASTICALLY improved after 10k miles. I'm averaging 19.5 combined. 23 highway. City can be down in the 14 area. So honestly you can't go wrong with either. 3.5 will tow much better though.

231mac I have a naturally aspirated 5.0L f150 sounds much better than the turbo. The turbo just feels like it never has the same amount of power when you accelerate and it has more pressure in the engine due to the turbo, hope that makes sense

It really is a nice truck.

I actually leased it for 2 years for a couple reasons. 1.) Never owned an ecoboost and wanted to try it out before completely buying it. 2.) Never owned a new vehicle in my life and wanted to see what it's like. So my payment is $300 month for 2 years. I don't plan on buying this one at the end. May consider switching to the 5.0 or the new bronco coming out. But the sticker price for me to buy it now is 51k. After the lease it's worth 33k.

No leds 🤢

i hate the 3.5 EB it really sucks when you its hot outside and pulls like garbage unless i feed it 91oct i know a ton of people are gonna snap at me for criticising the 3.5 but i really dislike it and its tendency to overheat and another thing i keep hearing is shit about 6-6.5 foot bed is standard that's horse shit from 1960 to today 8 foot bed has always been standard how do you even move anything in a 6 foot bed? you would have to hook a trailer every time you needed to move something then drive all day with the damn thing hooked up

That is great. But can you fill in the blanks involved in estimating your highway trip mpg? Such as, what mph were you traveling when you achieved a hand calculated mpg of 20.5? 55 mph? 65 mph? 70.... 75.... 80? If it is 60-65 mph, that is unrealistic for most people. If you are getting that at an average of 75mph, then I am impressed.
