Cameras should always be on constant record... it should auto save the previous first 30 seconds from when the first "bump" occurs via shock sensor applied to the usual "accident prone" areas such as bumpers, front fender, rear fender, quarter panels, doors and maybe to continue to record 1 minute after. Then the system should auto save with time and date and coordinates auto stamped onto video. That way, you have the entire footage of the accident to determine who is at fault, perfect for disputes. The system should have a switch embedded at all truck/car access points where the hood, doors, tailgate, gets shut or slammed so it won't generate a false positive. It should auto distinguish from a pine/acorn nut, hail or a cat hitting or landing on the hood/roof as well. Then the system should auto upload the video stream to a cloud where the owner designates or maybe bluetooth or wifi or to a USB drive to auto clear the on board memory in the vehicle. The technology is already there, nothing new, its new in terms of applying the idea. I would buy it!

that's actually a damn good idea.

But also on top when it comes to using soda cans as body panels. I really wanted this truck but couldn't get past the aluminum. F-150 is for a completely different user. I'll buy an aluminum truck when I see a bull dozer with an aluminum blade or a loader with an aluminum bucket that lasts.

all semi cabs are either aluminum or carbon. so they are just following suit. and chevy will soon do the same.

The difference is, semi cabs start at 5' off the ground and are not prone to door dings and traffic accidents, let alone a payload in direct contact with them. Semi hoods are usually fiberglass or composite since they get the most contact with debris or other vehicles. Don't get me wrong, aluminum has its uses like in airplanes and semi cabs. The one piece aluminum bed with integrated fender flares is another example of a costly repair when it would have been a quick swap with the previous fiberglass flares or even the (much less expensive to repair) integrated steel ones from the competitors. Now carbon composite, I would totally buy a carbon body pickup. No rust, no dings, riveted panel repairs... At least the frames are still steel. Ford likes to experiment with unconventional materials, for example back in the early 90's they were the first I know of that were testing and later using in production models the plastic intake manifold. Sometimes it works. Like I said in an earlier post, I don't want to be the guinea pig for $80,000.

*Hey Idiot!! That's Military Grade Aluminum Alloy.*

I'm in the military. there is no such thing as military grade aluminum. it's just a special blend of aluminum and alloys that ford came up with on their own. read their press release on it.

there a shit load of plastic

same much better interior. And every interior has plastic covered with leather which is what this is.

Just because one likes certain features does not make one biased.

He's glad they finally caught up to the competition.

Lol finally caught up to the competition😂

Ford had boxed frames in the F-150 long before Chevrolet or Dodge did. By the way, Semi's still use open C-Channel frames idiot.

And the kid calls me an idiot... ;) What an idiot

Frank White I know it's hard to accept when you're wrong...But you're handling it in stride kiddo. :)

Damn it.. why do I always get the kids on my ass... Some mad fanboys in here.

Listen kids, you are clueless on the subject. Obviously. Specially when comparing semi frames to lifestyle trucks'. Now buzz off. I'm done chatting with toddlers. You can go back to your league of legends games or whatever you are on, this here videos are about grown ups stuff.

Ah...I can answer that. I have an '06 MegaCab AND a 2019 F250 CrewCab. The leg room in the CrewCab is nearly the same as the MegaCab...BUT the MegaCab has slighty larger seats AND it has the storage behind the seats that the Ford does not. Problem is with RAM in 2018/2019, you have to move up to a Laramie trim package to get a rear seat that goes full accross the back...anything less and the seats are a little wierd in that they seem to be a bench bucket on the ends and this weird almost jump seat with cup holders on the floor. RAM engineers screwed that up. Basically made the back area for two. Laramie or above and/or a MegaCab is the only way you can get a true three person rear seat. Oh and you could not fold the seats up or down to make a flat area since they had permanent storage bays under. That also drove me to the F250 XLT in that the rear seat was definately roomy and would accept three people...and yes I could flip the seats up and collapse the underseat storage bay flat against to floor. Oh, and I did not have to get a premium package to get that configuration.

I've heard that too but I have not seen any thing official

They spent like 860 million converting their factory in Michigan to process and work with aluminum after they talked shit for like a year about using aluminum

Kyle Flynn Yea, I've seen their adverts thrashing Ford. They spend quite a bit of dough on that.

It's so stupid because now they're not gonna be profiting off of their campaign if they've changed people's minds about aluminum because of their ads the only person profiting off that is dodge because they're staying steel

Kyle Flynn Problem with Ram is they have the worst safety rating. And they don't last long on Vancouver Island's logging roads. My buddy bought a 2015 Powerwagon. After 200 kms using logging roads, he needed a wheel alignment and replaced a U joint.

Luscious3174 that's the king ranch

seen one here in Canada, go for 83,000 it was a lariat

If that happens, we will be the first to test it.

Thanks, I'll be looking forward to it.

they work for ford so they will down play the yota. this is the ford channel, they never mention the twins or yotas. you know real trucks.

John Edwards...you obviously have no clue as to what a real truck is. Nissan and Toyota don't make up shit for the truck market. As for the Titan HD, I've seen one....one on the road.

I only buy gmc. but we have some fords and 1 toyota at work, fords are about half as good as the toyota and its older.

Cause it's a truck not a car

it's an option. lariat ultimate and above.

the F-150 has push button start

Some 2017 Super Duty trim levels have button start, and some have the old fashioned key.

Platinum and King Ranch come with it, but push button start is available.

Massaging seats have been used for a while on luxury cars and SUVs. However, as far as I can tell this is the first application of massaging seats in a truck.

Well isn't it the same cab? Lol. Or is this the year where they started using different cabs for the 250s?

How is that a bad thing? The front is different though.

You can get that as long as you don't get the sport package

Yep, when I got my F-150 I made sure to NOT get the sport model as I wanted the column shifter. So much more room in the center console with the column shifter.

recheck that its gm, toyota then ford in sales.

You can get them without all that fancy technology. No need to complain... people have different views on all the technology. Older generation adults find it bad other people think it's helpful it's just the way you like things

Miguel Perez I'm 18 actually. It's obvious that they make new cars unreliable with all this new technology stuff. Look at how long newer cars last before you start having trouble with the electronic components. Also a lot of cars come stock with many technological components.

Disagree and I am an old guy. When I started driving in the 70's, cars that were at 100,000 miles were considered used up. They generally used oil and maybe burned it and they lost horsepower at this stage. Oh they existed but they were relegated to junker status. Cars that were considered High Mileage were generally cars about 50 to 60 thousand miles showing. The reason simple was that cars were not built as well and tolerances were loose so cars just wore out sooner. They got terrible gas mileage, terrible emissions and when the EPA started to ramp up regulation they de-tuned the motors and put all sorts of pollution pumps and controls that basically make a big V8 have less horsepower than today's KIA 4cyl. Back in the hay day of muscle cars, a hot car like a Chevy Chevelle with a 396 generating 350 HP..something that many V6's are able to generate today...in the late 70's a 350 Chevy was relegated to 185HP because of pollution controls. Today a Chevy Camaro SS starts at 450HP and goes from there with options (650 with supercharger!)...all with remarkably better MPG and emissions. This has all come about via technology. Look at the safety features. Lighting for night driving, collision avoidance, etc...something not possible 20 years ago. I have an '06 RAM MegaCab with 150K on a 5.7 Hemi. It runs strong, burns no oil, and does everything it did when I first bought it. I know people with trucks and cars that are in the 300K range and they are still going strong. The manufacturers are building them better. Simple. Us old guys remember the crap that came out of Detroit in the 70's and 80's. Sluggish boxy cars that drove poorly and were broken the day they came off the line. Bad paint, rusting within a year, and more....Today we have cars that will last hundreds of thousands miles, have great performance and pollute less. Whats wrong with that? My new F2019 F20 is a marvel to drive...I thought my Ram was the bomb and this thing smokes it. Oh, I still have my RAM and I plan to keep it...I looked at the new Rams too and if not for a sucky dealer network in my area, I would have strongly considered. GM burned me too many times...maybe just bad luck...but I got three lemons from them over the years and I am done with brand. Expensive to fix...I guess. I would like to do the math and see what the cost of the transmission replacement cost for a 1990 F250 and a 2017 F250 and see what the cost percentage is against the purchase price. Everything has gone up in price so it may seem like more but everything including salaries have risen so it is relative. I am not going to do it but I suspect the cost of a repair back in the day hurt just as much as one today. Heck...I remember paying $.30 a gallon and that was in the 70's. 5 Dollars of gas was almost a tank full in my CJ5....

If you plan on lifting it it's convenient plus I'm also 6'4 it's not bad

I thought about it to long and you beat me :(

Congratulations‼️

You mean one of the last no nonsense cheap trucks? Trust me these nice trucks work hard and last

***** I know it's stuck in the past but that's what makes this little things hardy. You can't kill it same goes for the tacoma. I keep my cars for a long time.... 6 speed stick body on frame, 4x4 i can't complain. Meanwhile new ford tech truck owners as soon as the next tech-er trucks shows up they will trade it in for the new one probably over something like passenger massaging chairs. I love my old style new truck. Like i said it will out last this ford on this video.

***** That is true, but in 5 years the Nissan will cost 10k over the Ford. I got nothing bad to say about ford at all. Ford is a great company makes great and i mean great trucks. I prefer Ford over chevy. But i always had better luck with Japanese cars

I love Nissan but does Nissan e coat there frames?

Yes

LMFAO like you have the money to buy this truck

On my taurus sho it came to 2200 for a seat replacement for those same massaging heated/cooled seats

😑

Number one selling truck for a reason, you can work it and be comfortable in it at the same time. You can have a base model like your 1991if you want, or you can get a luxury truck if you are going to be driving hauling trailers all day

Darkmaster16 people who do a lot of cross country towing might enjoy the comfort features.

So get a xl f350 roll up windows bench seat, am/fm radio. 32,000$

I bought one. Traded in my 2010 F-250 XLT trim level Super Duty for a brand new 2017 F-250 XLT trim level Super Duty and I love it. Blows my 2010 out of the water.

*Whoopee, the Dodge is a Rolling Junk Yard.*

*People Vote with their money Jackass, and they're Voting Ford.*

LOL must be a Dodge guy hates on a truck he cant afford. I hear ITALY makes a nice truck called a Dodge. Ummmm you might want to look at one of those. Oh by the way I have a link to a website that sells bed sides for those rusty hunk of shits because theres nothing worse than having 7 years of payments on a truck thats rusting out with 5 years of payments left. But the motor is good I guess. You could install it on your garden tractor or something after the truck rusts out. GOOOOO CUMMINS LOL

half ford half stealerships and if you play nice they drop prices fast still about 65k but the 15k difference helps with tire upgrades and personal touches
