I just bought a 23 Lariat for the same price as this. I like the wraparound LED design on the front that they cheaped out on/got rid of on the 24 XLT.

Love the XLT trim. The grill on the ‘24 is why I’m not buying a cheaper ‘23 😂. Not sure if you have already checked out the hybrid but that powertrain is fun to drive.

@timschultes6467 wish that were true my 21 XL lost power and was struggling to reach 100mph. Not only that it also lagged. It didn't even reach the fuel economy the 2.7 supposedly was suppose to reach. Pull was bad as well.
Great, video, my father just got a 2023 xlt with the 5.0. I have to say I honestly prefer the looks of the 23 over the new 24. The front end looks worse over all with the new head light design. I much prefer the led running light design. I will say though the nice big instrument cluster is nice. I have an 08 f150 Xlt. And well, let's just say the xlt name gets you a lot more than it did in 08,

Great video, I do like the truck but I favor the front of the 2023 than the new one but I'm glad to see someone jump to the gun to film the new F150.. however I do have a couple of questions.. 1. Why do you think Ford got rid of the LED DRLs on the XLT? and do the Amber and the top of the headlights stay one to take its place? 2. I notice per your video this truck has the Pro hitch assist with the pro trailering assist aka The Knob, but no trailer brake controller?

@@Bronco2Cj I really think that ford is purposely taking things away from the XLT to make a higher profit by getting people to go to a higher trim. For example, now you have to get into a lariat to get the chrome grill and the DRL’s that you mentioned. I guess I can just keep driving my 21. I like the looks of it better and I have the chrome grill. My feelings on this is that it’s a marketing scheme that’s going to end up biting them but that’s just my two cents.
Looks pretty good.l, but I don’t know why Ford can’t put wheel liners in the back wheel wells, looks cheap as shit.

If they gave the heated steering wheel option on the XLT it would be perfect. RAM and GM have had it on the Big Horn/LT/SLE for years not sure why Ford won't do it on this. Much cheaper cars have them now.

I have same truck but fx4 pkg and some extra options I picked but just LOVE the 2.7 and how it beats any v8 stock feom a light and pulls anything a guy would ask from a halftone. Mileage it as good as it gets without being electric. Average 9.7 to 10 city hwy combined. 1280 to 1300 to a tank. Comfort is perfect and just all around awesome. Can't beleive people would rather a chevy or a ram. Each to their own I suppose. I like the light up emblems

Eco mode makes the acceleration act tighter; the gas pedal is harder. Bluetooth is worth it @ $800 a year it’s ridiculous! I do well for myself and yet would not give Ford $800 for Bluecruise

Love that dash over the new dash in F250 and now in the higher trim F150. Overall a nice well equipped truck. Ford really made the 24' F150's a lot better looking. I felt the 21-23 took a step back on the front end. This refresh gives them a premium more aggressive look. "Tough" is the perfect way of describing it. I wish they brought some of the "tough" back on the new Super Dutys. XLT trim is not bad, cant go wrong with XLT and up. Very nice job Ford.
