Finally a review on a base truck. I have a 2011 XL reg cab long bed. Mines not a 4x4 though. I love it. This truck is all I would need.

Exactly how I'm speccing my '23 out, except I'm upgrading to the V8. Also will add a bed liner if that's available without having to add a bunch of stuff I don't want/need.

Nice! I wouldn't worry much about getting the liner from the factory. Aftermarket drop in from the dealer or spray in from LineX would work!

I have two f150's, 1997 & 2019. While installing a Roush CAI on the 19, it was still running when I popped the hood, I was surprised to see a "Hood Ajar" indication. With that said, WTF can't they put a "Tail Gate Ajar" or "Tail Gate Down" indication. I have tonneau covers on both and on more than a few occasions I left "contents" on the ground. I figure since they spent the time to let me know what's going on in front of me, how about letting me know what I can't see. Also, luv my engine compartment light on the 97.

Is it worth buying the truck with that engine 3.3 V6

@CarsWithSteve Жыл бұрын

Depends on your needs.. if you aren't towing or are towing a small amount, or just want a basic work truck it's a cheap option. It may be worth it to pay the extra cash to upgrade to the 5.0L but going to be a matter of preference

You did a very nice job going over everything and I appreciate you picked the XL version too. Its too bad Ford leaves out the option to add on upper level trim like the larger screens for the dash, electric folding mirrors, sliding rear window, leather, vanity mirror because they have all those parts. I think there are many people that get a regular cab (especially the short bed) to be a little sport truck that can do their daily tasks and would enjoy that extra comfort without having to jump to a crew cab or super cab. These parts can be added but it will be a lot more costly even if you DIY.

@CarsWithSteve 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Robert! Agree that it would be nice if Ford offered slightly better options for the Reg Cab, at least some of the nicer tech would be great. Hopefully Ford reads these comments and takes people's thoughts into account

@todsimpkins8908 2 жыл бұрын

most don't want all that crap - that's why they buy the XL. I could have ordered any F-150 I wanted. I ordered a 2022 XL 4x4. 5.0 3.73 locker. 101A, Chrome appearance. FX4. Sync4 with enhanced voice. Basically everything except co-pilot 360, because I do not want that crap. go up a level and stuck with co-pilot. And some levels can't even do a carpet delete. No place for carpet in a truck.

@@todsimpkins8908 It's funny.. this is where the idea behind the reason for getting a truck comes into play. There are people that won't drive anything but the best of the best (Limited - $100k truck) but can get most of the same functions out of the $60k Lariat Buy what you need.. invest the difference!

Ford needs to get in the 21st century electric windows and locks. I am a ford 100 % but this would make me go to GM. Great presentation.

The basic controls are because of the trim - this was pretty much as stripped as these trucks come. The Reg Cab/Super Cab XL are manual windows while SuperCrew is power!

Lol, this is the base model. Not sure why anyone would complain about not having electric windows and locks in a base model. Not to mention Chevy still comes with manual windows and locks in the base Silverado models.
