    BEAUTIFUL Truck!! Long time GM/Chevy guy here (since 2005, had a 4.8 LS Silverado, then a 2010 Sierra) also who switched to Ford and bought a 2021 model. Never looking back, Ford did a great job with this generation. Nice interior also chevy is pretty behind.

    Glad I found your video of my truck but with a 4 wheel drive. I love this truck. I have literally owned dozens of trucks, cars, vans and sport cars. The technology built into the 2021 Ford XLT is astounding as well as the quality. I believe I will stay in this vehicle for some time. I recently purchased a 2600 lb travel trailer and on a 400 mile trip averaged 18 miles a gallon on regular although I usually burn premium grade.I am so grateful and glad to be driving this fine Ford product. See you on the road and thanks for the video.

    The 5.3 got all messed up with the dynamic fuel management. I still have a 2000 Silverado 5.3 LT trim and the seat are STILL comfortable. I don't care that I get maybe 15 mpg on average. It's paid off and my insurance is about $60 a month for full coverage.

    I've been a Silverado man my whole life. I've driven everything from an '87 to my last 2010. I refused to even look at Fords until riding in several relative's and buddies F-150s and being surprisingly impressed. I just traded my 2010 Silverado 1500 Z71 LTZ for a 2020 F-150 XLT 4X4 Sport with the 5.0. I can't believe how much nicer of a truck Ford is putting out. The power of the 5.0 vs the 5.3, the ride, and the overall fit and finish on the interior is above and beyond anything Chevy has put out. Time will tell if Ford will be as reliable as my Silverado's have been over the years, but I have a feeling I won't be disappointed.

More tech equals more problems and more money. As much money as anyone spends for any kind of vehicle this day and time, more time and mileage we should get for the warranties. Todays return doesn't equal out.

Excellent truck the f-150 is. Did a turbo seal, one cat converter, oil changes every 10k (blend). Just did a front hub this week (first suspension part ever). Lots of tires and brakes. I highly recommend the Ford vehicles

    He hit the nail on the head there. I had always had a chevy, loved my 06 silverado with the 5.3 vortec. However, the rusting rocker panels, frame, and under carriage was really a bummer. About 4' of my exhaust pipe rusted off and went bouncing down the highway behind me. I love that my 2019 F150 will not rust on the frame or the body. The gas mileage is fantastic as well!

I finally traded for a 2020 F150 and have put 44000 great miles on it with no issues. Made three long trips in it and it made the trips so much more comfortable than I was use to.The drive, ride and power is much better than the Silverado with 5.3 in it.

    I am just about to roll over 300,000 on my 2013 XLT 5.0 Coyote F150 Super Crew that I bought new. It has been hands down one of the best vehicles I have ever owned! The only work I have done to the motor was I had the 6-speed transmission rebuilt at 230,000, I had the timing cover gasket done at about 250,000, I did the water pump at the same time just in case and at 285,000 I had to replace the passenger side cat. I drove the 3.5 Ecoboost and was not a fan of the way it sounded and after reading some reviews on the 3.5, I knew the naturally aspirated 5.0 would be a safer bet for engine longevity.

So in all reality it’s kind of the same. I look back though & the 2017 MSRP was 47k but with incentives at the time I didn’t pay anywhere near that.

    Still have my 98 F150 XLT 4x4 super cab 6.5 box 4.6 V8 5 speed manual trans. Most reliable and most comfortable seat I have ever sat in. My 2016 Silverado seats are like sitting on a wood plank and I leave it sit because my 24 year old Ford is much more pleasent to drive.

    I was shopping for a full sized truck at the time GM took the government bailout. I was raised a Chevy guy but was mad at GM so I bought a Ford F-150. I’ve never looked back. My truck is a 2006 that I purchased in 2010. It’s now 2022 and I have 237,000+ miles on that notorious 5.4 engine and it’s still running great. When the time comes for a new truck, it will definitely be a Ford!

    Nice review. I've been a life long GM fan and still own two Chevrolet trucks, a 98 K1500 ext-cab Z71 that I bought new and a 98 reg cab 1 ton 4x4 that I bought used in 2007. Both of my trucks are pretty low mileage for the year. I doubt I get rid of either. My fiance owns a 2017 F150 with the 5.0 and it's a nice truck and has plenty of power. It's been a good truck other than the AC compressor clutch blowing out at 32,000 miles which caused her to need a new compressor and unfortunately the truck was no longer under warranty. I also own a 2014 Mustang GT with the 5.0 that I bought new which has been a pretty good car with tons of power. A very fun car. The one thing that I don't like that Ford did with the 5.0 is add cylinder deactivation and I'm wondering how reliable it will be since GM and Dodge have had problems with it. On some of the F150 forums, people are also complaining about having a shuddering problem with the 10 speed transmission that they are having a problem getting resolved. Hopefully yours does not develop that issue.

When it came time to finally replace my 01 after 16 years, the newer Chevy’s I looked at just had too many dumb problems. I ended up going With a low mileage 17 F150 XLT 302a 5.0 and love it. Hopefully I can get at least 10 years and 200k out of it. These brand new ones really are nice though! I’d like to see Chevy get their act together and I still dream about owing a 72 C10.

    I've been a lifelong GM guy too. My current ride is a 2010 Sierra with the 5.3. So far, I've not had too many issues but I do really like the newly designed 2021 F150. I've thought about going to the F150 but what held me back was a bad experience had from 1997 to 2003 with a 1992 F350 diesel that I bought used in 1997 with 160 000 KM. The 7.3 naturally aspirated diesel was great but so many things went on that truck including the transmission, glow plugs, fuel injectors etc. I bought the truck used in for $10 000 Canadian back then but it cost me $20 000 to keep it running all those years. I finally got rid of it in 2003 when it had 225 000 km on it. Since that experience, I've been leery of any Ford vehicles and have stuck with GM. I'm glad that others have had better experiences with the F150 as I do feel it's the best overall of the big 3 and Nissan and Toyota.

The 5.0 is what did it for me though, these engines are bullet proof, sound great, feel great, and the added torque means I can say goodbye to the cummins.

    One other thing to consider about the Coyote 5.0. That engine was designed to run in the Mustang. Running at high compression and at high RPM. Putting that engine in a truck where those stats would be over kill for a truck. That means in the Truck you not likely to ever push that engine harder than it can take. If you are like me and you keep your trucks until they wont run any more. Thats a big deal. My old F150, F250 with the 300 strait six are still earning their keep.

    Ford's always had decent seats in the F150...I used to own a 1998 F150 XLT, I know it's old but bear with me here. It had a cloth interior with captains chairs for seats from the factory, the drivers one had adjustable lumbar. I could take that truck on a 24 hour drive one way...and not feel fatigued from the seats or the ride quality of this old 2WD half ton. Only reason it's gone now is it was written off in a collision. Currently looking for a replacement F150 cause I miss how well that damn truck drove.
