New 2020 Ford F-150 5.0 V8 for $36k | Drive & Review

I've been able to review every trim level of the F-series trucks except this XL..so here it is! The F-150 XL is the base model but this also has the 101A and STX package. The F-150 STX is a popular choice for value and appearance. What do you think of this $36k F-150 with the 5.0 V8 so many of you prefer?

A special thanks to Rockwall Ford for letting me show you this 2020 Ford F-150 STX V8! - Tell them Nolan Sent you!

I say naturally aspirated. Less strain on your engine and less things to break. Nice review

[fredmartine]

We recently took delivery of a 2020 F-150 Crewcab XLT 2WD with the 5.0 and we love it. The power is there when you need it, gas mileage is right past 23 mpg. I don't have to worry about the turbos giving out or the turbo gaskets leaking since this is a naturally aspirated engine.

Colomn shifter forever. So much nicer to have that space.

Great video. I definitely prefer the 5.0 with column shift. That's a beautiful truck.

That is one of the best trucks of 2020 I’ve ever seen!! Ford is one of my favorite trucks.

[PENETRATQR]

I went to the Ford dealership wanting a simple 2020 model truck. I first tested the XL STX and I was ready to purchase it, and since I was there I decided to take a Lariat for a free joy ride. I ended up purchasing a $54, 000 truck lol! Lariat is way nicer and fell in love with it, I told the sales person to shut up and take my money. Don't even look or get into the higher trim trucks, it will slap you in the face.

[brianmerrill]

Seems like a good all around pickup. Good review Nolan! Always informative!

[quadkrazykeith]

the STX was hard to turn down for the price but I wanted a little more ! I got XLT 302a Coyote with 3.73's

[dantheman]

Like I have said before. Thanks for reviewing the ones that real people are actually going buy

[kosieS]

Just got my 5.0v8 F150 XLT a week ago. Love it!

[biga]

I’m sold. My dad’s gone kill me, he’s a Dodge guy!

[LittleJoePeep]

Dude! Thank you! Great to see a non top-tier review of the F-150. Really looks like you get a lot for the money in this case.

[richwhite]

I had the 2.7 ecoboost and I did really like it but I now have the 5.0 and really love it if is smooth and powerful sounds good to

[universaldragonninja]

Seems like a good all around truck. This was good review. Straight forward no fan boying or degrading the vehicle, just facts to help you make your own decision. I appreciate it. Anyone know what the best F-150 will be for a first time buyer that wants a useful family hauler?

[JWimpy]

I got the 4x4 STX Supercrew and I love it. It serves as a comfortable family hauler and you still have a truck bed. I also got the soft open rear gate. It's a very affordable option and we'll worth it.

[LeoTheShortGuy]

Rockwell are some good folks. Sometimes it is nice not having tons of of tech. Well done, my friend. Keep up the good work.

[JonathanLGN]

Love my 2019 2.7 ecoboost. Debated between the 2.7 and 5.0 for months lol. Ended up finding a killer deal on 2.7 4X4 and never looked back. About to get another one. Love these trucks.

[Jimmerca]

The mechanics I’ve talked to said go with the 5.0 much more reliable. Great truck the only thing I would add would be the trailer package and 4 x 4 and Blindspot monitoring would be nice 👍🏻. Thanks for this review 👍🏻😎👍🏻🇺🇸

[richf]

Crazy to hear you have to pay 40k for a new truck without 4x4. So sad.
