Hey Mitchell, I was bouncing between a new 2017 F150 and a 2018. I ended up with a '17 Platinum with a 6/27/17 build date. The truck has the 10-speed and many many features (701A) with park assist- loaded. Aside from the new front and tailgate, what other things are 2018 different from my new ride? I note the drive modes as one difference.

How about exhaust and cold air kits? I know the 5.0 is different but will those have to be a brand new design or can a 2017 exhaust kit and cold air work?

Where would I go to find different Grilles for a 2018 F 150?

Does the 2017 Auto start/stop come on the STX package? It does not seem to work even though I have the option button and it is on my display. When I hit the brake the letter A with the circle arrow around it lights up with a line going through it. What gives???

I have a 2019 XLT fx4 from time to time I will get in my truck and the seats are not ware left them when I got out ? Any help would be awesome

Good info, my favorite feature is the memory heated seats, I'm in alberta, canada and I hate coming in my car and sitting down on my leather seats in the winter which feels like sitting on a brick of ice.

Can you do a vid on the different trim levels on the focus, minus the st, and rs

Can you turn off the auto stop/start, collision avoidance, and alarm?

Just picked up a 2018 XLT got a great deal for Presidents day sale. I have to say to anyone looking to buy skip the 5 liter because the 3.5 liter Ecoboost is a Mini Beast under the hood . Combined with the 10 speed transmission you put your foot down and your hitting ludicrous speed in nothing flat. I absolutely love the Ecoboost engine.

Luckily my current F150 Ecoboost doesn't have auto on/off. However my wife's new Jeep Grand Cherokee does have it. I was able to unplug the hood sensor, and keep the stop/start feature completely turned off.

Just got my 2018 Platinum. If you hold the seat memory button until it chimes a second time it will program the truck for the key you are using. So, the next time you enter the vehicle all the presets (seat, mirrors, etc) will automatically go to their positions.

do the rear seats of the supercrew cab in the 18 F150 lock in the down position? my brand new supercrew stx only locks in the up position requiring the use of the underseat latch but is free moving in the lowered position.. doesn't seem correct to me

Nice.. Three weeks ago I ordered a 2019 f150 4x2 regular cab short box with 2.7 twin turbo, 10 speed and 3:73 gears. It's XLT with 301A package in Magnetic. Nice!! How about a video about a truck like this?.... :-) Hopefully it's in by the end of the month (Sept '19)

Just picked up a 2018 F150 supercrew with the 5.0. Only thing I'm not crazy about is it has a 3.55 gear ratio. But the price was hard to beat and it only has 49,000 miles on it.

Also For 2018, Ford did away with the external transmission oil cooler, and the engine oil cooler. They are not on the Trailer tow 53b, or the Max Trailer Tow 53C package any longer as options.

Hey town and country: Which configuration has the best acceleration? Reg Cab Short bed 4x4 5.0 v8 10 speed, Reg Cab LONG bed 4x4 3.5 ecoboost 10 speed XLT w/ the highest configurable axle ratio, OR lastly the reg cab short bed 2WD 5.0 v8 work truck stripped out model but w/10 speed as a standalone? I've done heavy research on this new f150... the numbers are frankly mind boggling.. the amount of capability in the reg cab long bed xlt 4wd 3.5 ecoboost 10 speed w/ the fattest tires, highest numerical axle ratio, fx4 etc. is worlds better than competitors 2500 HD diesel models produce... I believe that trim i mentioned holds 3650lbs payload and tows over 13,000lbs, then if equipped with nokian studded winter tires it'd be a monster of a plow truck, I imagine one of those could complete the work of 5 lesser trucks.. what with cold weather improving boost and how little it weighs, these new ford trucks are an engineering masterpiece, I'd go so far as to say they're the best trucks ever made.

Has Ford corrected the EcoBoost problem that was an issue. Do you still have to add the canister for the oil blowback?

@BeanoNoir

6 жыл бұрын

All of the new motors, including the gen 2 ecoboosts, have both port and direct injection. Fuel will passively clean the intake valve again. This wasn't a gen 1 ecoboost issue specifically , it's general maintenance on any direct injection engine to clean the intake valves every 50k-60k miles using a media blaster, and only because of exhaust gas recirculation that is now moot with Atkinson cycle. The government emission regulations are about 20 years behind modern tech. That 2.7l is actually probably the most durable motor in the lineup. It's built like a modern diesel, except far less complex. That being said, a ten speed transmission is pointless on the ecoboosts when they put out maximum torque over such a wide rpm range. The future diesel will love it though.
