I just bought one of these. I was in the market for my first pickup truck. It was between the Hemi RAM and the F150 XLT. I have no regrets.

My dad has a 2011 Ford F-150 3.5 ecoboost and we haven’t had any problems except having to change the spark plugs twice. Overall it is a great, FAST, and a reliable truck.

Great review! Beautiful Truck! I just have the lil 2.7 EB, 0-60 WLC fly, can’t imagine how well the 3.5 EB runs!!!👍

Have the Platinum; beautiful, reliable, great power and zero problems. The 3.5 has really been great. Not one complaint.

Thanks for the Video, which was great. you showed interesting points for me , I have had Ford diesel f-250 and the gas f-150 , so at my age I don't do what i use to so I will go back to gas engine. I have a explorer sports 3.5 and I love it I will get a 3.5 f-150 Truck. I have always bought ford trucks except one International 74 model. the chevy guys has always rode me but they can't win me over , once again thanks for a great show and tell video.

Great video Griff! Let me know if you come across any issues I am planning to buy one very soon. 3.5L Eco seems like the way to go. Maybe an MPG update sometime would be cool.

Great review. Own my own business and need a truck and looked at silverados, rams, and f150s. Just locked in a f150 xlt super crew with the chrome trim package, and leather interior plus all the same bells and whistles you have. I had an A plan discount number but im leasing it at $290 a month with an option to buy in two years. 12,000 miles a year. Great deal and im in love. Got it in Lansing Michigan btw! Thanks for helping me make the choice.

My xlt doesn't have most of the goodies yours does. Very nice.

Great review.

Good review. Only thing I take issue with is the key- I hate the old school key on our 2016 F150, it feels flimsy and like it will break eventually. A simple start button is far more convenient, and I would say no more likely to break than any other button, such as the start/stop button. Which I disable first thing BTW :)

That’s a really nice looking truck I was kinda debating on the Ecoboost I’ve read pretty good reviews on them seems they got all the kinks out since they were first built that truck has a lot for an XLT only dislike I have is the bedliner and the tailgate the emblem in the middle to me just doesn’t look right I’m going shopping maybe next year for one

Just traded my 2014 FX4 for a 2018 lariat EcoBoost both of them but this one is so much nicer they really did a good job on this one I think

Good friend in Longview Texas has a first gen 3.5 ecoboost, nearly 200k no turbo replacement and yes his truck works hard, he’s a hay farmer.

I have the identical truck except it's a 17. It also has the auto start/stop and I had to replace the starter at 22500 miles.

Bought a 2018 xlt FX4 with the special sport edition package. Finding out that I'm not a huge fan of the 10 speed..full throttle acceleration it shifts great, but just normal driving around town it can't decide what gear to use. Miss my 6 speed.

Don't care for the pinstripe or the console shifter, still a beautiful truck. Ordered mine July 4th but I got 2wd xlt sport leadfoot gray with the floor shifter. Waiting for it to be built. Can I ask when you put it in sport does it disable start stop?

Hey bud, fantastic video! Any chance you know if the FX4 package makes the truck any higher then a 4x4 sport?

It really is a nice truck.

What about the 2.7 eco boost? I'm thinking about buying but don't know much about them. I test drove one this weekend and seems to have good power but need good gas mileage if I'm not going with 5.0

How’s the towing with this, I’m looking for a truck to pull my 18ft boat. I sold my 2015 Silverado earlier this year. But now don’t know if to go with a 3.5 eco boost or a 5.3. I like the ford have more room inside.

I'm looking at one like this, Do mind sharing why you turned it in? problems with it?

Because it has turbo, I like natural aspirated power like the 5.0L

Brighton, MI... Which dealer did you work with?

I have found that the majority of the horror stories that you have heard are coming from the GM trolls that raid the message forums.As They are always out to have a penis length contest with everybody else . Yes there some that have had issues, but no more than the other brands out there.

Can you make a video of night time driving in this truck?

The wheels on the new f150s are to small they need to put 20”s or 22”s

What did you pay for that bad boy?

No leds 🤢

i hate the 3.5 EB it really sucks when you its hot outside and pulls like garbage unless i feed it 91oct i know a ton of people are gonna snap at me for criticising the 3.5 but i really dislike it and its tendency to overheat and another thing i keep hearing is shit about 6-6.5 foot bed is standard that's horse shit from 1960 to today 8 foot bed has always been standard how do you even move anything in a 6 foot bed? you would have to hook a trailer every time you needed to move something then drive all day with the damn thing hooked up

Good day America.... yeah because KZfaq is only viewed in America .lol...

Nice, but you are NOT getting an average of 19.3 and 20.XX on the highway.... The on board computers are ALWAYS off, to the favor of Ford interestingly enough. Do I hand calculation of your mileage and report back..... with REAL numbers.
