Still 20k way too expensive for most of us out here fellas

[brianodonnell]

$60k is wwwwaaayyyy overpriced and out of reach for most trades people who actually need trucks. These car companies have lost their damn minds.

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

[evancontos]

5.0 Loaded Lariat with blackout package, vented seats, dual exhaust and 3:73 gears, winner winner chicken dinner 😁😁

$60K for a pickup is ridiculously expensive

[daleford]

My 14 gen 2.7 XLT just got new EIBACH coilovers (unlifted) and with the 400 ft pounds of low end torque its a damn fun truck to drive.

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.

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.

I have a 2018 Sport and absolutely love it. I just did a 222 mile trip to spend the 4th with my #2son and used 9.45 gallons!

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

[MbtSC]

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 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.

[kylesummers]

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!!

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.

[jeffsauer]

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...

[staceyallen]

Love the video! I just purchased this f150 2023. Mine is also area 51 sport, I have 360 camera, spray in bed Iiner. I absolutely love my truck! Sold my 2014 f150 xlt, this is a nice upgrade.

[jesserevilla]

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.

[davidalder]

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.

[ScarletKnightmare]

Maverick hybrid is my first Ford and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it. Might trade my Silverado in for a F150 similar to this
