Unfortunately there is not enough customers that appreciate the knowledge. Most of us with a passion and knowledge about the product lose out to the slick "If-I-coulda-would-ya" sales people. Each month the top salespeople in our dealership were those who didn't know the difference between an axle ratio and Axl Rose. I fell victim to this all the time: I would spend hours teaching about the Jeep they were interested in, explaining Jeep's unique 4wd systems, suspensions, off-road capability, and the Jeep lifestyle, only to have them buy from some Slick-Willie across town who was $50 cheaper.

Very knowledgeable truck guy.

I've got a 2017 Ford F-150 XLT supercab 2WD with 5.0 / 6 speed. Now has 116,000 km. Not a single problem to date. No oil consumption issue with the 5.0 V8 either. Average fuel economy on the trip MPG meter never reset since the truck was purchased is 20.4 MPG absolute average city/highway. 800km range with the standard small (86 L ?) fuel tank. Very impressive for a full size truck. And I would not consider myself to be a "Ford guy"... never owned a Ford truck before, in fact, this is my first truck. It was 36,300 $ off the lot, with the discounts, and since it was a 'last year' model, with mostly 2018s on the lot. Will agree on the power to weight ratio, especially with the lightweight basic 2WD "work" truck, a Mercedes C300 'Compressor' cannot take it until 85 MPH, when the aerodynamics of the Mercedes win out.

That man is the most Canadian Canadian I've seen lol..I love it

To the owner if you happen to read this, but you mentioned the fuseable link is good for 100A. Pretty much any winch big enough to recover your truck (or any vehicle) is going to draw way over 100A. You're going to want to wire it straight to the battery, and if you do use a fuse (which is typically not done on a winch) you'll want at least a 500A fuse.

Some TFL viewers will be too young to know that you used to be able to customize any ordinary car from the factory just about as much as you can customize a full size pickup today.

I had an 05 RC FX4 5.4 leveled on 315/70-17 BFG AT KO's for a daily from 06-16. I bought it a year old with 15k on it for right at 18 grand and sold it with 95k miles. It had the cam phaser tick that sounded like a 7.3 powerstroke idling. Other than that it never had a problem. I love the look of regular cab trucks but without a bench seat they aren't very family friendly. A lifted regular cab on large tires/ small wheels is best to me.

Correct. You can get a reg-cab with the Sport or STX package for mid 30's very well equipped.

I love these configurations. I had a 97 F150, Reg cab, short bed 4x4 with the 4.6 and a 5 speed manual and a manual trans case lever. The truck was very light and nimble for a full size truck, and the 5 speed really helped the 4.6 feel powerful and peppy. In the bigger configurations with the Auto, the 4.6 would feel underpowered. Also i could get up to 22 mpgs on a tank if i was going on a trip. In the 90's it was absolutely unheard of to get anywhere near 20 mpgs on a full size gasser truck.

My first new truck was a 1995 F-150 that I ordered right out of college. I ordered a RCSB 4x4 with 5.8L, manual lockouts, manual transfer case and 3.73 gears. That thing would go anywhere and is still my favorite truck that I've owned to this day.

What an awesome truck! Love the look and yes, the reg cab look is classic. It’s leveled perfectly...looks great 👍

All options should be a la carte unless there's a valid reason to require a package. I say that within disdain toward the dodge Magnum and first few years of charger when you couldn't get a V8 without also having to pay for leather seats and stereo upgrades.

In 2002 I purchased a new Ford F-150 5.4 v8, standard cab, short bed, FX4 with heavy duty suspension and trailer towing package. While it was my daily driver, it was in the dirt on a regular basis. After 15 years and over 252000 miles it was still running strong and in very good shape. If I hadn’t started having trouble loading the bed, and having to use a utility trailer with a ramp, I would still be driving a standard cab short bed. I’m now pulling the trailer with a 2 door JK.

I'm not a Ford guy, but I grew up in short wide single cab GM pickups and this thing really takes me back. So good off road!

Short wheelbase trucks need to make a comeback

Once again, Ford leads the way when it comes to trucks. I'm a GM owner, and I love my Sierra, but Ford is willing to offer more choice than any other manufacturer. It certainly will be a factor in my next vehicle.

I have a 2004 F150 I have had since September 2006. I paid $23,845 USD cash. Over the years I have put an additional $20k or so in parts, accessories, maintenance and repairs. I know $20k sounds like a lot but its not really considering I've had it for 14 1/2 years. Over the years the most expensive thing I had to do on it was replace a sensor in the passenger seat. There is an air bladder that senses if someone is sitting in the seat. Parts and labor on that was about $2200. Other than that just minor stuff. I've put tires on it like 5 times at about $800 each time. I had to replace the windshield. Replaced head light assemblies, window motor, 2 different window control arms, alternator, 4 batteries, bed cover, trailer brake cable, shocks, exhaust manifold seals on both sides, transmission shifter cable, muffler/exhaust system(due to city ord.) twice, center brake light seal, got the pluggs changed twice, changed the coil packs, light bulbs, wipers, brakes and oil too many to count. All and all it has been a great truck to me. My next truck will be a Ford.

I just ordered this same truck in a XL. 5.0 4x4 reg cab. Can't wait!!

Love that truck! This gets me excited for the bronco.

Cool truck! I really like the short turning radius. One of the drawbacks of the current F150 (I own a 2015 SCAB) is it's barge like turning radius. Did the owner mention how much that Raptor front axle conversion costs? Bet it wasn't cheap, but if you do a lot of off roading, probably worth it.

Pretty sure he just put in a Ford Performance Torsen limited slip, they’re about $750.

This guy is amazing, a true enthusiast. Explained everything about the truck perfectly well

I have a 2018 shorty with the 2.7L 4WD and I love it. Very quick and nimble. great for traveling light and parking lots.

If you look over your shoulder there is a big open thing they call the truck box. You can use it to hold big items. Handy!

This is an awesome truck! I've always been a fan of the single cab pick up. Trucks aren't supposed to be family haulers, they're for work and play. Lol

The owner knows a LOT, far more than most. Kudos to him for being so well studied in his choice of configuration. I am impressed that Ford is offering a Torsen as a front differential. They are the best limited slip available. The military used them for the Hummers and other off road vehicles. But due to higher cost, they have rarely been available to the general public by the manufacturers.

Regular cabs are pretty popular here at the middle east and they sell alot here, espcially for kids as their first car , nimble , easy to drive and capable not to mention how much easier to park in the city , Ive owned three F150s a king cab lariat with 6.5 bed, an extended cab raptor and another lariat with a 5.5 bed , now my current F150 is a regular cab 2018 and i am never looking back at anything bigger than a regular cab It does everything else the other variant do but it's alot easier to deal with and to drive .

Super common through the mid 90's. By the late 90's it was clear ext then crew cabs were taking over. I had a 70, 77 and a 84 reg cab back in the day.

Honestly, the extremely neglible weight difference for the far superior capabilities of an extended cab makes me feel like regular cabs need to die off completely. The only advantages are very small increases in tow ratings (even that's not the rule anymore) and the slightly shorter wheelbase for breakover angle. It just doesn't make sense.

Stephen, another advantage might be never seeing another one like it on the road. If you just like being different.

Regular cab short bed. The best truck trim for daily drive. Awesomeness

Great setup! This information really helps in the decision making process for my next truck. 👍🏻

This dude found a Unicorn of a truck. Hard to find short bed reg cab trucks with those options its a nice looking truck and something i would get if i could find one.

Correction, the 9.75 rear doesn't come from the plow package. That changes the front springs. The 9.75 axle is automatically given over the standard 8.8 when the 3.73 gears with the E-locker are chosen, regardless of what engine is in the truck. My '18 RCSB 5.0 had 3.73 gears and so did my '17 Supercab 5.0 with 3.73; both were 9.75 rear ends. Aside from that, HDPP and maybe Max Tow gives you the special larger 9.75HD axle, but RCLB is the only regular cab with access to those and HDPP comes with serious weight and ride tradeoffs. Other than that, this guy knows his stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if I found him on f150forum and the Official Regular Cab thread. At least, that's where I would still be, if I hadn't sold my '18 regular cab short bed on account of it being a complete and utter lemon.

I saw a reg cab short bed ecoboost version here in Denver - I had to do a double take. I didn’t know you could special order these. I really want one!!! Being a 5.0 makes me want one even more!

This guy makes me feel bad about going to a dealer and buying on a whim. His purchase seemed very thoroughly researched.

@bobwatters Did you watch the video, the whole package cost him about $30g usd not a crazy amount for a fx4 equiped f150 even if is a single cab, add in a raptor front diff, lift and tires. The price he paid is actually pretty great. Like sure you can get a stock 4x4 stx package, super cab for about the price, but I can definitely appreciate what this dude modded out even for the price. Also dude says in the video this is what they had on the lot, if he was spec'ing it out he'd put a 2.7 in it. Try to actually pay attention to video next time.

I have a 2019 regular cab F-150. When I went to the dealership to check it out (after seeing info about it in an ad), they had to go to an overflow lot to pick it up. Most of the F-150s on the main dealership lot were 4-door trucks. I guess a lot of people want a truck to also be a sedan these days. To each their own, but I wouldn't want the hit to visibility and maneuverability.

I miss my regular cab short box silverado. It also had KO2 tires, was so much fun off the pavement.

This is just another reason why short bed trucks will always have a special place in my heart and In my driveway.

The turn radius was sick. Almost looked like the back wheels locked and turned like a tank. Very tight.

Glad to see some people appreciating the reg cab short bed, I remember back when you could buy one with a big block from the Big 3, wish TFL would do an off road video on these trucks while you can still buy one-V8's only!

I have a friend that has one of these and turned it into an all wheel drive lighting. With a tune it runs 12 sec 1/4 times. Ford need to build this.
