Ive got the same, but with the 3.5l ecoboost, and no nav. Best vehicle ive ever owned. I dont mind having a more traditional radio rather than an infotainment system. I used to own a fully loaded 2016 fusion.... the infotainment system could be awful at times. The chrome on the 2018 xlts is actually nice. Its not too much like the lariats. I love the minor chrome trim on the interior. It looks so good on the vents and the stripes on the door. This is my 6th vehicle, dont see myself getting rid of it unless i find a 2018 xlt in the same color but with the 5.0.

Not crazy about the new headlights, but now the lil 2.7 Ecoboost has more torque and a 10 soeed transmission. I laugh at some of the comments I see below about how bad they think these engine are. All I can say is go drive it, their quiet, smooth and very fast! Apparently a lot of folks are being impressed by the 2.7 because it’s now the F150’s best selling engine. Matt have no idea why yours did so bad on MPGs because I constantly get 20.4 in town, calculator checked and I cut the stupid stop start thing off. I’m starting to see Ecoboost engines at around 200,000 miles on them and they are running great, maybe not the engine for everyone, but so far I love mine!

Cool review Matt

I'm a GM guy who happens to work at a Ford dealership. I've driven so many F-series trucks over the past year for extended periods of time - every light duty and super duty configuration - as well as several GM, Toyota, and Ram trucks, and I am seriously impressed with this F-150 and it's EcoBoost V6 engines, they are top notch. This 2.7L is very quick and to me feels better than the 5.3L V8 in the Silverados I drove. Also the 3.5L EcoBoost feels quicker than the 6.2L V8 in the Sierra Denali that I drove (although that V8 sounds MUCH better than the EcoBoost and the power delivery is more linear, which is why I generally prefer N/A or superchargers over turbos). The 5.0L in the F-150 is nice too, great power and sound. Despite everything though, if I was buying an F-150 my choice would be the 3.5L EcoBoost. The power you get from that engine is just bonkers and I love it. Still, I do like how the Silverado/Sierra drive better than the F-150. The GM trucks feel tighter and better planted, almost like unibodies; the F-150, despite feeling lighter thanks to the aluminum, still jiggles and bounces more than the GM trucks do. The Ford and GM trucks to me are leaps and bounds better than the Tundra and Ram, everything from engines to interiors to driving dynamics, though I haven't been behind the wheel of the newly redesigned Ram yet. Great review Matt, loved hearing your take on this!

Hey man I love watching your youtube videos next time can you please do your new bullitt review.

Yep 26 mpg cleveland to Niagara back to cleveland i love this truck

I have a 2016 XLT Sport Edition 3.5L EcoBoost, no issues driving 14-16hr long trips like I did with the RAV4, and the storage is awesome! The only thing that sucks to me is the headlights as they don't throw enough light out has they are smoke tinted from factory.

I agree with you. It is terrible having the auto start/stop feature !! Just think how many you are using the starter. Probably have to buy another starter in a few years. I would definitely disable permanent !!

That moment at 12:47 when Matt reliezes there's a cop there XD

10 speed I drove didn't have the issues yours did, wondering if with 16,000 miles yours has just been beat on by press members and may have some issues. I also kept my foot out of it and was able to get about 22.5 MPG over a month of driving it.

The 10 speed was introduced in 2017 model F150's.

Love my 3.5 ecoboost

Very curious to see how this engine will compare to the upcoming 2.7 displacement 4 cylinder from Chevy

I think that engine is the fastest 0-60 in the F-150 engine lineup.

The F150 along with all the other expensive trucks have high-resale value, much better than any other segment. The used prices aren't much cheaper, that's why people buy them new with a lot of incentives on the hood. There is probably no other $60,000 vehicles on the road that hold resale better than this expensive trucks.

On top of the fact that trucks keep their value incredibly well, with very few exceptions, nobody would ever pay even remotely near MSRP for these things. Our local Ford dealer, for example, will gladly give you $8,000+ off up front with incentives and other discounts available on top of that.

Nice truck but the aluminum panels don't always serve a heavy duty pick-up well, they don't take a collision well in terms of repairability and require a certified repair shop to fix them per Ford guide lines.

I’m a Ford guy through and through, but I personally prefer the look of the new Ram 1500, the side profile of the F-150 is starting to look a little dated, it’s a bit flat, square and basic. The front and interior are top notch, but the sides and rear needs to be updated. The new Ram just looks more modern and fresh, the side profile is beefy and chunky but also has nice smooth, fresh and flowing modern lines. Both trucks are awesome, I really like the front of the F-150, but the rest of it needs to be refreshed. I think at the current moment the Ram is a nicer looking complete package.

nice truck and if someone wants a truck to just have a truck, 2.7TT would be the choice. If ya actually want a truck to work, get the 3.5TT or 5.0 or get a bigger truck...

No intro?

I actually prefer hard button in a truck, straight to the task, one step to do things, not a hugh touch screen in the ram like tesla with extra steps.

I have owned both a 2015 5.0 F150 and currently own a 2018 2.7 F150. The 2.7 is a much better engine for towing and frankly every situation. It develops all 400 lb/ft of torque at 1700 RPM. I found with my 5.0, it was constantly downshifting and revving up around 4500 RPM to maintain speed on highway while towing. It also develops 400 Lb/Ft of torque like the 2.7, but not until over 4,000 RPM. On the highway, my 2.7 loafs along at 1,700 RPM in 10th gear at 80mph. It accelerates quicker by a long shot over the 5.0, gets better gas mileage and operates at much lower RPM then the 5.0. Now with both port and direct injection, carbon build up won’t be an issue. It also has 25% less rotating parts then the V8. I was skeptical at first as well, but I’m definitely a believer now.

They can change a few things, but not a ton.
