50 grand for a single cab is a thing I never thought we’d see

I like the way he spec’d his truck out, it’s a perfect package - just a shame how expensive these trucks are even in this “basic” configuration.

Short wheelbase with 4X4 and locker is a very capable vehicle.

Short bed/single cab trucks are ridiculously underrated

Thanks TFL for having me out. Had a great time at tumbleweed ranch. Everyone on the TFL team was super kind and knowledgeable. Always a good day getting muddy and off-roading! Can’t wait to see future content. I’ve done offroad, human, and animal search and rescue for some 6 years now and had a 2 door jeep on 37s prior. Needed a truck I could cruise around Moab and also haul drywall, lawn equipment and more. Lot of folks ask about the 2.7 vs the 5 and I picked 2.7 because forced induction does better at elevation though I do have to pay more for 87 octane here since that’s mid grade in Colorado. So far the truck has fit all the needs I’ve needed it for. It gets good fuel economy, drives it self on the highway (kinda) , off-roads well, hauls stuff, will tow a side by side and it’s comfortable.

Respect to the guy that takes a brand new truck on the course. A true car guy.

50k is absolutely insane for that truck. Low 40’s, it’s a short bed regular cab.

What a sweet truck. I would love one, for 35 grand.

It drives me crazy that hardly anybody is making 2 door pickups anymore. Just got a 2 door bronco and turned it into a work vehicle, I absolutely love it,

I'm a Chevy man but that truck is COOL. Regular cab trucks were everywhere growing up.

I have this same truck in the XL package, Coyote V8 3.73 gears and 33s but without the FX4 package. 10k less and It's done fantastic for me so far.

I have a 2015 F-150 XL short bed-regular cab 4x4. Same configuration as this truck, 2.7 ecoboost, FX4, and just about every option you could get on an XL in 2015. MSRP was $39K, it was on the dealer lot for about 5 months and I paid $27K. Wanted the coyote, but I am very pleased with the 2.7. I have averaged 21mpg over the 122k miles I have put on it.

I love a regular cab, short bed truck, it’s a classic old school look.😎

It’s a nice old school setup with a good short wheelbase. Now if it wasn’t so expensive. $30-35k would be reasonable.

Well spec'ed truck, thoughtful owner who is modding to make a good base vehicle even better! Hope to see more F-150s on the channel.

Gotta Love reg cab full size short beds ! Great vid TFL keep em coming with real folks and their trucking needs !

I was able to get a 2022 GMC Pro regular can shorty with all the options available for 40K due to the fact it was on the lot and no one buys this type of pickup anymore. Very capable off road trucks.

That's an awesome truck, but still trying to wrap my head around base trucks (XL) costing 50K.

Best part of this truck is actually having wheels with normal rims with big sidewalls, whose idea was it to start putting lower profile tires on trucks?

Great configuration. What a great way to learn the off-road capabilities of your truck.

As someone who owns a Supercab with a 6.5' box, I have an awful turning radius. I love having the huge back seat but the standard bed is a must for me. Funny to think this was a typical configuration when I was growing up, now its pretty rare to see. If I were to buy another, I'd go back to having the Crewcab with the 6.5' bed.

Drama free. Great choice/configuration Tyler. That is the modern version of what I had from the 70's.(XLT) Cannot wait to see the 4R footage from the back lot since it was teased in conversation here.

this is literally one of my absolute dream trucks

The guest today reminds me of Ron Howard, and that's not a bad thing! lol. I like his enthusiasm and friendly nature. Really nice truck.

When you know what you want/need/will use in a truck is an example of this man! I work at a dealership and deal with people that come in saying their 4wd isnt working when the vehicle is set in 2wd. nuff said

This dude sounds like he'd be a good occasional guest host.

Yes definitely more F-150s on the course please. 🙏

I absolutely love my 5.0 4x4 rcsb. Running the same 35x11.50 tire setup. Some full skids and remove the active air dam and you’re set.

Great video! Love it! I have a 2014 F150 XL Regular Cab 8’ box 5.0L 4x4. Work truck w/heavy payload package. With moderate off road light truck tires, goes everywhere I need it to. 👍

Nice rig, good job guys.

Love this!!

Such a cool truck!! Love Ford trucks awesome truck Tyler!!😆 my dad has an f150 I love it!

What a great subject to explore. Thanks

Very cool truck. Respect to Tyler for his offroad mods that actually make the vehicle better offroad. I have seen enough ''offroad'' trucks riding on silly 20'' wheels to last a lifetime. That's weird that the cameras not coming on unless in rock crawl mode, I can turn them on in my '22 Supercrew anytime. Wonder why Ford changed that ?

Love the content! I personally have a 22 F150 with the same configurations but with a 5.0. I love seeing its capable of so much considering its so short!

Such a cool and classic looking truck. That was more common years ago, the single cab lifted 4x4. Used to off-road single cab 4x4's in the Rockies years ago and they were beasts in 4LO and took a thrashing.

All the takuaches gonna love this vid

Now this is the content we want to see 🔥

These are my favorite kinds of trucks. Short bed, single cab, not a bunch of bells and whistles. These need to be more popular.

Good driving Tyler.

We have this same truck, same trim but a quad cab, I’m a contractor for the forest service. It’s actually bananas how good these Fords are off road.

New trucks are so expensive. I bought my 97 F150 regular cab, short bed Lariat with the 4.6 and offroad package for $6000 back in 2005 with 100000 miles on it. It's super capable off road due to the short wheelbase and it's been a great truck. With today's prices I'll keep it forever if I can.

Sick truck. I had a single cab 2004 v8 fx4 with the stepside bed and 35s with a 2.5-inch lift. And man, do I miss that truck. I wish I had kept it and installed a rear locker.

You did an awesome job Tyler

I love this mans truck setup. reminds me of my granpas 2019 single cab shortbed f150.

i just got a 17 single cab, xlt 8ft bed 4x4 with the 3.7l and its lifted. offroad monster

I ordered my 2021 F150 4x4 regular cab short box very similarly. It's an XL trim 4x4 regular cab short box, 5.0 coyote, No FX4 - added the rear locker, skid plates and 3.73 axle stand alone, snow plow prep for the alternator/battery/front receiver prep combo, 360 degree camera, BLISS and tow package. Payload sticker is 1,757 pounds. So very similar in features minus the "trail control" at a much lower cost. 40K with incentives and no "market adjustments" and 14K trade in for a 2007 Tundra with 110K plus miles. I got front end Covid shut down lucky as it was ordered in November of the previous year. Love it. It's a little sleeper with a wheelbase 2 inches shorter than a double cab Tacoma and a 6.5 foot bed I can sleep in without having to ball up. Get them while you can. Only Ford and Ram are left standing with the regular cab, short wheelbase/box option.

Great video guys! Happy to see an F-150 that is not a Raptor going Off Road.

Actually a really cool truck . Nice package . Good performance .

In 08 I bought a 03 XLT. For 10k. KBB values it at 6k today. $265 dollar a year depreciation rate, ( unheard of ). With 133.000 miles on it I believe I may keep it a while longer.

I have the exact same package 2023 XLT single cab but with the 5.0 engine and off-roading is always extremely fun

Sweet truck Tyler.

Its so nice of TFL to let children have a go at presenting the show 👍

What a sweet freaking truck! I love it!

Sick truck, love the specs on it

Classic Truck: short bed, regular cab, 4x4. Great truck!

What a nice dude. Enjoy your truck!

He spec'd it out pretty much exactly how I would've. I just can't afford anything new now. I should've pulled the trigger back in '17-18 when you could get one spec'd like this for 25-30k

What a nice and capable rig wish Chevy offered something like this from factory, specially suspension, diff lock and fancy tech. Great vid guys.

I love that truck.

That is a nice looking and well spec’d truck 😍

Awesome truck! I love it

This is one of the best looking trucks I’ve seen. I really like the single cab. That would have been good with a coyote and the new supercharger, but I would have probably gotten the 2.7 as well.

That’s the one a wanted! But couldn’t find one so went with a 2022 trd off-road access cab my first Toyota

I am impressed

Sweet little truck!

I love my fully loaded 22 xlt regular cab. Been to 12 states and lots of dirt roads. I have the Torsen Front diff installed as well. Would love to check out this course sometime

Great looking truck 🙌

Love it, love my set up got the 5.0 though

Love me a short bed standard cab. As a Chevy guy. I believe the old Ford short bed standard cab big straight six with a stick was one amazingly reliable truck.

Slow and controlled is the best technique for off roading. Of course there are times that you need some throttle but not often. This guy off roads how I do in my Rubicon and rarely do I need to use full lockers or get stuck. On a positive note there is less cleaning compared to the others I off road with who like to gun it.

Very cool truck! Great tires as well..

Great video🎉

I had a 2016 F150 in this configuration with the Coyote 5.0L was a great truck.

Great truck!! Love single Cabs! Cuddos to this guy I have a new 23' Tremor and she's not seeing anything other than pavement for awhile!

Super nice truck, in my opinion you spec it out perfectly, it's crazy the prices of trucks today & it's funny how the XLT is considered a basic truck today, back in the 70's an XLT was a nice truck. Telling my age now 😅.

I own an FJ that I absolutely adore but I really want a truck like this!

Que bonita camioneta! Saludos! Buena vibra 🔥✌️!!

Beautiful truck

I'd be pissed if my tire weights were mounted to the face of an alloy wheel!

The background music makes it. Lol. Great video

What a capable truck w/ 35s!

Love a RCSB truck. You get the size of a full size, but short wheel base. I'd love to do an overland build on this platform.

He did a good job of handling his truck

I would have had to go ahead and get the 5.0 or get a base Super Duty reg cab 6.8 or 7.3. The problem is that for $50k these days...what even base trucks that used to cost half to $30k 3-5 years ago on sale...I could pick up a couple OBS '67-'97 Trucks and build them exactly how I want them with 351w based stroker and ZF-5 manuals and have something really worth hucking through the mud of off a dune or tow or haul and have style.

Prices are why I bought a used 2017 F-150 XLT in a private sale. New pricing is insane.

Very sharp truck

Amazed it has the P702 slide and pivoting console in it.

Super similar to my 2018, except mine's an extended cab. Silver XLT 2.7 with Bilstein 6112s but I run 33" KO2s.

That's one good looking truck. Single cab and x-cab are the best looking ones //x-cab hilux owner

That’s a really cool truck.

F150 cool set up!!! Not over done!!

Used to take my 2001 off road everyday lol. Beat the bricks off that truck.

I got the same truck with everything option checked off including fx4 but I got the V8 Coyote motor. I went the the lowered Supercharged route just for in town driving. If I want to go off-road I have my lifted first gen Dodge cummins for that.

Got the exact same truck with the 5.0, truck is very capable.

That’s pretty much the same set up I have on my 08 STX regular cab. I bought some factory Raptor wheels & Nitto Recon Grapplers that measure 34” tall. I’ve been trying to build a new F150 with the same configuration on Ford’s website, and he’s right. His configuration is hard to come by. You can build an XL & add the high appearance package, 103A. It would look just like his XLT on the exterior including the wheels & factory tint, except no chrome grille, and the 5.0 liter V8 is the only engine option. MSRP for that configuration was $45,605.

Jeez, I thought my '98 Lariat regular cab was high at 29k sticker. Was looking for 4wd ext cab Ranger, but salesman showed me a pair of fully loaded 4wd flareside F-150s they needed to move. Compared to today's trucks, it was SO easy to reach or get in and out of the bed of that thing.

I love regular cabs.

My 2015 F150 4x4 Single cab has never had to be pulled out, but it has pulled adozens of vehickes from ditches and lakes.

4wheeler ! Awesome
