Auto dealer for thirty years. Sold and drove thousands of trucks. I honestly believe my Ford F150 with the 2.7 engine, is the best truck I have ever owned.

$60K for a pickup is ridiculously expensive

I was always a GM guy, LS for life. But after getting a '23 F150 Tremor 5.0 and my brother getting a '20 Raptor, I'm pretty well convinced that Ford makes the superior half ton truck in basically every way.

Great video! I have a 21 with the Coyote, 3.73 gears, and a Borla S-Type, and it rips. The most fun truck to drive I have ever owned.

We got the 2023 XLT FTX Fx4. Very impressed and pleased with it. Lots of power. 5.0 Same Area 51 paint job too. Nice truck

That’s a $48k truck max. Still want that exact model, but not for $60k. Never. I’ll drive my 21 Tundra until the second coming before I pay $60k for an XLT… that’s platinum price.

not a fan of the move since 2021 to cylinder deactivation... but, from what I hear, at least you can disable it by using a mode like tow/haul...

Awesome video. I have 2021 XLT 5.0 and LOVE that engine. Only complaint I have is the 10r80 transmission whine noise. But I’ll just have to get over it. Truck is great otherwise.

I have a 22’ XLT fx4 with the coyote. For the very reason you guys mentioned..they won’t be around much longer. It’s the perfect vehicle for our family. My wife wants one of her own now.

Nice video. Still love our 2015 XLT with the 5.0L V8. My 6 speed is fine, and I like the towing mirrors we have. Nice to see my truck is essentially still being built. Thanks for that Ford! Two thoughts… the speakers are awful so plan to upgrade with help from Crutchfield. Also watch for early problems with the front brakes. For some reason our factory rotors needed turning in 35K miles, but no problems after installing Duralast Gold brake pads from AutoZone.

Really glad I found this channel. Love the TFL boys, but all that mile above sea level and snow content doesn't do anything for us down south.

Love it! However…. 60,000 no leather and no bed liner ? Come on Ford….

Great review and show 😊 ! I own a 2016 F150 with a 5.0 V8 motor and boy she boogies . 😊

I ordered the 23 F150 Tremor with the 5.0 last year, so I have the 3:73. I also have the Torsen, 360 camera, gun safe, under seat storage, a bed mat, and not a lot else that wasn't standard on the Tremor. I like that gauge cluster, which is what I have on the 401a, and I like the stock Tremor seats. I wound up paying almost sticker at 68k, but I've been happier than not so far. I'm averaging about 20 mpg over the last 8-9k miles but that includes a lot of interstate head- and cross-wind driving in west Texas, local driving in NM, and mountain 2-lane driving in CO. This last tank registered 21.4 and calculated 20.9. I had one tank on a CO trip to Denver that was around 23 if I recall correctly. I was going to supercharge it right after I bought it, but the mpg, the fact the local parts folks seemed kinda clueless, and fact it already ran pretty darn good has given me pause. Maybe if I win the lottery tonight, I will buy another one and do that lol. Peace, Love!!

Great review and great vehicle. I wish Ford would put this engine in their Expeditions.

Ford F-150 STX 5.0 with Sport appearance is the best value saving you over +$7,500 over an XLT. The XLT options aren't worth the price difference and the STX looks so much better. STX deletes all the chrome except the wheels, even the headlights are smoked.

I've been considering ordering an XLT regular cab with 5.0L as the new ones supposedly all come with the big screen now! Dude you kinda remind me of Roger Clemens haha!

Love my f150 xlt 5.0, hoping next generation gets independent suspension all around like the lightening. That's the only way I'll trade in for a new one.

I drive a 2024 F 350 and at 430/485 with ten speed it flies. My 2016 was a horrible dog. I don’t know what the 0-60 is but I’ll bet it’s below 7 seconds. Ford figured it out for sure.

Once I was able to tow with a Diesel which is turbo. Then my company gave me a 3.5 for another run delivery machinary up to North Carolina. I wanted a boosted engine for towing our Travel Trailer. I loved my Mustang GT 5.0 and a fan of the F150 Cayote 5.0 and Ram 5.7. I have used all these trucks. But I can only have one. So I choose Ecoboost ; I trade my truck every 3 yrs anyway. But boost simply cannot replicate that sound / feel you get in a 5.0. 🏁 Oh the those hooks at the on each side of the tail gate are cargo strap holders and can pop the bottle top as well.

Good review , I’d like to correct a few errors, that Coyote is a 4th generation,not a third . Third gens we’re 18-20 and had 395 hp and a real oil pump. 4th gens have 400 hp ,and a rubber oil pump belt that’s designed to fail, and your statement about it being perfect is wrong because other Fords with rubber oil pump belts that ride in the motor oil have been failing earlier than ford designed them too and taking out the engines when they fail,so it’s not perfect . It does sound amazing, and it definitely rips .Ford is pushing the Roush blower not the whipple , the whipple is better imo but That warranty would be different.

The 5.0 or 302 has been around for decades. The simple tech of naturally asperated engines, durability, and available mods on a proven winner makes it an easy choice for me. If boost is your thing. Boosting this 5.0 is very easy and gives insane results that any v6 falls short of. New tech is good after the kinks are worked out, but matching new tech with a proven 60 year old champ is the smartest thing any company can do. The older blower, cam, intake, and other mods have consistently made the 302 a monster for hp and torque. It is so hard to beat a good old V8. True American muscle should never become a thing of the past. Adding the right tech to these jewels makes them unbeatable all around. I say bring back the 428,429, 460, and 540 for the super duty and apply this tech to them. Just for fun bring back the 390 and 400 for outrageous 1/2 tone trucks.
