70K for an XLT at the end of the day is absolutely absurd

They refreshed the price 😂😂

At this point, which ever truck builder offer the best discounts, it will be the best seller.

So it has the $5,000 tail lights? 70k for a 1/2 ton....insane.

$70k for a F-150 XLT is why I just spent $10k to overhaul the Powertrain in my 2013 F-150 XLT.

I priced a new F150 in February, a 2023 F150 extended cab XL 4x4 coyote V8 at $50,000 for the least optioned truck available. I bought a used Nissan Frontier crew cab 4x4 with 25,000 miles for $25,000 and I'm very happy with my choice. I refuse to spend the kind of money a new full size 1/2 ton 4x4 costs.

I work at a Ford Dealership and $75-80 for a nice XLT is unacceptable. That was the price of a king ranch or platinum in 2019.

Lmao 70k for an xlt. Say no to crack!

These will look great sitting on the lots not selling.

I’m still driving my 2010 F-150 XLT with 122k miles on her! She drives and looks brand new so I’m keeping her as long as I can! I also just love the 09-14 body style too! Of course I would love to have a newer F-150 but I just can’t justify spending the prices. At least, not in my current financial situation.

Much rather spend money on a restored older truck, back when they were simple mechanical and you can work on them yourself in maintaining and fixing them.

The color of the cuffs on your shirt make it look like you have duct tape on your sleeves 😁

You were smart to hold the price of the truck till the end of the video! MSRP $70K, what a joke!

They need to lower their prices

The day I can't open and close my tailgate is the day you can take my keys away from me.

Thanks so much dear TFLT team for making such great videos! Very informative, professional and helpful! Pure joy to watch 🤗👍Many greetings from Germany

As a contractor and overlander, I need the ability to use my vehicle as a truck, motel, command center, work space, fishing/hunting base and storage unit, and my 25-year-old 4x4 Suburban covers all bases with a 500-mile range, plus, it’s paid for. I pity those who forsake reliability and sensibility for vanity…

I used to Not like Andre and used to judge him but as I get to know him, he’s very intelligent and works his behind off !! Keep up the Hustle !

Great Job TFL... Very informative as always ! Appreciate all your videos and the work you put into them.

The Man..The Myth...The Legend...great review as always Andrey...Cant wait for the Tremor and Raptor R review. 🤘😁👍

First off, i'm not a Ford guy. But a work truck with the Coyote V-8 for under 40 grand? Sign me up!

I agree with Andre that many of these features are really nice. However 360 cameras, pro back up assist, push button start, power folding shifter, wireless charging shelf......etc. it's like everything has been re engineered for maximum complication and cost. I'm only going to work and running errands ffs.

I had a 2021 LARIAT w/2.7 Ecoboost. 95k miles. Not one issue. Just did oil changes and tires. Not even brakes. Awesome truck! Loved it. Just received my new 2024 XLT. 2.7 EcoBoost. 500 miles in. A great truck. Sticker was 58k. Overall well pleased. Looking to see if this one is as flawless as the last.

That's a good looking truck! It has a lot of features for an XLT but they cost too darn much.

Cross shopped pick up trucks this past winter and ended up ordering another new personal '24 Lariat Powerboost and two new XLs for the job site . My '22 Powerboost has been an excellent truck, we love it, and actually just got it back from the collision centre after a deer hit me. Thank the Lord I can get out of the Toyota Singer sewing machine I got as a rental car for 6 LONG weeks.....

The options on this XLT were luxury in 2014. (LED light modules with BLIS sensor) I do like radar cruise and trailer sway control, but the rest is bloated. My 2008 XLT Crew had backup camera, adaptive cruise, and trailer sway. That was plenty.

Always a pleasure to watch Andrey present new trucks and information. Looking forward to the 2024 F-150 Tremor review.

I think what a lot of people need to realize is this XLT isn't the XLT of even four years ago. XLT now is basically lariate with cloth. The STX is going to be more in line with what the XLT used to be.

I thought the XLT had the gear selector on the column. Is it available as an upgrade or do I need to stick with the STX?

imo, if you don't mind the look of the tremor. it's still a great buy over and optioned xlt considering the upgrades in suspension, etc.

FYI you can lease these with the power boost for really cheap right now. If you have a trade in, and X or Z plan, it’s $350 a month for 10k miles, the sticker has to be 66k. They take off $1900 for the power boost $2000 for an XLT discount $3750 for another rebate And $2000 for trading in a vehicle. Add maybe ~$50 for 15k miles. I just did this, put $0 outta my pocket, got a check back for my car. $380 with 12k miles.

In Canada, my friend recently bought a XLT with some équipements but not fully loaded and he pay 75,000 plus 15% tx.

These pickup trucks have so much stuff in the engine compartment that it’s hard to imagine how routine maintenance can be performed. A useful part of each review of every pickup truck would be to cite the costs of routine things like changing spark plugs, replacing drive belts, replacing water pump, etc. TFL does an excellent job of comparing mpg (fuel cost) and should expand that into the cost of routine maintenance by quoting each manufacturer’s flat-rate manual prices.

A couple things. First - it's awesome to hear what these hybrids are capable of, or even the complete EV's. Only negative is, they take forever to recharge. Second - with all these additional electronical features, it continues to just keep adding additional failure points. The evolution of these new features is occurring too fast, and most dealerships are not equipped to fix these issues. For me, I still feel it's best to keep things as "simple" and straight forward as possible, which is a hard trim to buy these days. Not to mention, the majority of these new trucks are too expensive for people to purchase, while adding additional features that are more likely to fail.... Quite a combination and I don't see this commonly talked about....

The reason trucks are this expensive is not because people can’t afford them, it’s because a whole lot of people can afford them.

I like the review by Andre and TFL. I don't care about any 1/2 ton truck hybrid or otherwise at a $75,000 sticker price. If the Platinum starts at $75,000, it's going to be $90,000 on a stealership. That is ridiculous. The hybrid is $66,000 it's going to be $80,000, respectively. People's paychecks aren't getting more generous because if they do, the IRS is there to take that money. Ford and other car manufacturers' executives need to get with the times. People can't afford these trucks at these prices. Manufacturers, you're going to be hating "giving away" your trucks. That time is coming, and the people are not going to be savvy with you getting bailouts again. You did this to yourselves. Just like before.

I currently have a 2018 high line Lariat with the 5 litre V8 and love the truck. For a laugh I thought I'd go see what a new one would run me configured pretty much the same as my current one. A few issues with how Ford has changed the options and equipment. Not a big fan of leather seats so thought I could get away with the XLT, but can't get power folding trailer mirrors which are essential for me as I only have 9 foot garage doors. I have to go back to the Lariat for that feature. Really want the B & O unleashed sound system...have to go to the high line lariat for that. I really like the power deployable running boards...no longer available in the Lariat have to go to the King Ranch for that option. Can only get the 3.5 eco boost in King Ranch...no 5.0 litre V8 in King ranch ( I would never pay the upcharge for the King Ranch regardless as it's insane). There isn't a truck I can buy right now from Ford that ticks all my boxes. When you have to spend the kind of money they are looking for you really want to get exactly what you want. Maybe in 2025??

65k for an xlt is crazy my 15 plati brand new was 63k, crazy how expensive trucks are now

Up here in Canada for a 2024 Platinum it’s $107,000 so you guys in the States have it a lot better than us. I agree it’s pretty expensive but all manufacturers are the same in my opinion. It all comes down to who you prefer. I’m still a loyal Ford guy.

I just got into a brand new 2024 lariat yesterday. I only have a tiny bit of buyers remorse. That was one hell of a check to write, but the used truck mark it out here sucks. You can look at something a few years old and even if it has decent mileage you're just not saving all that much. And then even if it has like 50,000 miles it's a difference of maybe 10 grand. That's nearly 4 years worth of driving for me at this point so I just hit the bullet. There's at least a comprehensive service plan. But damn this thing better last me 10 years lol That being said, my last full size pickup was a 2003 two-wheel drive Ram. And it is insane just how many convenience features for both safety and for working are included in these things. In the interim I've had some 2014 and 2016 Hyundai sedans and a 2016 GMC Acadia SLT. All semiluxury vehicles but none of them had anything like this. This thing literally drives itself and calculates how to maneuver a trailer when you're backing up. Unbelievable. I would have been a lot ballsier back in the day when I was running my junk hauling business out of that ram if I could see all of this stuff lol

I talk crap about Ford but I do like the utility of the hybrid system with on board power is super cool. Work and camping with no worries about power. But I love my GMC. Thank you

Looks like a great truck. I like the trim level and the features that are included I've been in the market for a new truck but I'm not going to buy one until the prices get reasonable. Looks like I'm going to have to keep driving my old truck around for a while longer and I don't mind it's still running fine. Ford isn't the only one that's got overpriced trucks though. No matter what manufacturer you go to you're going to be paying a lot more, a lot more than I'm willing to pay that's for sure. I'm going to wait it out for now and see what happens but I do like this truck. Thanks for these great reviews, keep up the good work

I think the front end with those blacked out headlights is money

Please Make a Truck for work purpose and not for mall shopping. Do not compromise on the safety features like BLISS etc but i think premium interiors like leather seats, 200 way adjustable seats, Huge screens are not needed.

$20k more than a similar XLT Ranger and only 100 lbs more payload. That’s crazy.

Still no auto 4x4 or push button start in a $65K XLT. Push button start I can live without. But I will never own another truck without 4A.

I remember my dad buying a brand 1986 XLT for 8k in 1987! This pricing is more than inflation and its insulting.

Great looking trucks. 65K for that FX4 Powerboost with full digital screens and blue cruise capable is reasonable. Same truck was just under 60K for 2021 with no digital cluster or blue cruise capabilities.

You have to consider that XLT is now 2 trim levels up from XL with STX taking its spot as 1 above XL. XLT now has equipment that was previously only available in Lariat, 302A used to be XLT high and now it’s mid with the addition of 303A. Yeah the base XLT price went up $3000 but $1300 of it is 2.7 being standard now, the rest is made up with the addition of more features that don’t appear on the window sticker where previously most of the options were itemized add ons. 302A in 23 was $6k and now it’s $4700, If you actually compare a 23 and 24 XLT with the exact same options the price is almost identical.

It's priced to absorb about $9K in rebates and still be profitable for the company. When supply is low MSRP is the price. When supply is high, MSRP is more of a suggestion. No more pandemic pricing. Personally I wouldn't look at any vehicle with hands free driving. Also I would never finance things like a bolt on bed step or a bedliner. Those things are add ons that can be paid for in cash and installed after you purchase the truck. I do think that a nicely optioned truck though should sell from 50-57K out the door. More bare bones models or new 2023's that are still hanging around should be priced under 50K.

In my opinion doesn’t matter which brand truck they are all out pricing what the average person can afford. At some point these manufacturers most realize that with the price of their trucks and the high interest rates no one can afford to pay for a truck

I like the more traditional look of the F150. Silverado side profile is weird looking, especially the side mirrors.

I actually ordered the 2WD, non-hybrid version of the red one he demonstrated. I'll get it out the door for $58K (lucky enough to be eligible for X-Plan pricing). Still high. However, I sold my 2015 2WD XLT for $2,300 over high Kelly Blue Book (private sale) because used ones are also going for the same high prices now...

Totally agree about the price. Way too expensive! I want one and I could buy one, but I cannot justify paying that kind of money. I'm more likely to buy an older pickup and have it updated.

It's nice to see such affordable prices these days! Thanks to Ford👍

I ❤ TFL

My brother has a sweet F150 hybrid. He borrowed my RAM 3500 this weekend to get a load of sod but his truck is still pretty sweet if you need a car. Haha, I hope he sees this.

I wish trucks had option to git rid of the Infotainment screens. I have a smart phone that I use for maps, thats all I need.

I absolutely love the look of the headlights and grille on the XL,XLT AND TREMOR models.

The weird thing is people will brag about what a deal they get with $5,000 off a $70,000 MSRP truck. Even $65,000 is too much. Now they have mortgage level payments for a vehicle depreciated the day they sign the paperwork.

I love the Fords and like the Chevy and GMC, you can still get a bench seat and column shifter and a V8. The Rams are great and so are Toyotas too, I like those as well but in a 1/2 Ton, I’d like to have a V8, column shifter and a bench seat up front, you can’t get that anymore on some trucks.

Until people start understanding that they don't "need" a new truck every two years, this nutty trend will continue. Folks need to learn to maintain what they have and stop letting these stealership's rope them into 60-100k trucks. Even used prices are insane. I recently had a local Ford stealership in Denver offer me a whole 38k for my '22 XLT with 12k on the clock. The only reason I bought in 22 was because my old truck was totaled by some nerd. But offering 38k, then marking them up to nearly 50 for used is just nuts. The depreciation on these trucks is unreal.

I own a 2022 but I will not be buying another mainly due to the price!. The prices are INSANE and not to mention the quality is not there anymore. Mine has been to the dealer for issue after issue after issue in just 36k miles. Turbo replacement, rear diff replacement, image processing module replacement, and now my transmission is having issues. I partly question if it’s cause it was built during Covid, but still it’s a shame. $70k for an XLT is criminal. I paid $50k for my 302A in late 2021.

Wow Andre… I live in Palm Springs… welcome to the desert… are you at Fiesta Ford in Palm Desert?…. Love all your Videos of this channel..I love your style..

Prices are wild, but I'm glad Ford still offers the 5.0. This may be the year I finally look for a deal on a 5.0. Also, I think a turtle could stay ahead of Toyota half-ton at this point.

Next time come in July. We go up to 130 degrees in coachella

I’m sticking with my 22 302 with 5.0..has enough tech,still looks beautiful and nothing crazy

Simplified offerings mean cheaper production costs for Ford, but higher Prices for consumer :(

Yeah... I'll just stick to buying used with these prices

I have a 2022 F150 XLT Powerboost Max Tow and I’m lemon lawing it. At 28k miles, rear axle bolts broke. At 33k miles, transmission was replaced and second set of rear axle bolts replaced. At 40k miles, another set of axle bolts replaced. I’m at 50k now and the transmission is shifting harshly and the rear axle bolts need to be replaced again.

Good morning Andrey..I would go with a F150 XL Long box

Although pricy, there’s good reason these are the top sellers!!!

I just like how Ford still allows more freedom of choice when building a vehicle than nearly all other makes.

My 2019 STX 4x4 can easily get 560 miles range without being a hybrid. 44k at that time with 0% Apr. What happened with all these prices? Get rid of all unnecessary stuff. Digital cluster? Extendable arm rest? Wireless phone charging? My truck seems to work fine without those lol.

I bought my Bronco in 2023. No mark up, but still $49,990 with all the features 2 door V6. I thought THAT was too expensive. Last new vehicle I’ll ever buy if these prices never come down again.

I paid 58k for my fully loaded (minus tailgate speakers) 2020 Sierra duramax AT4. I paid 70k for my 22 powerboost f150 lariat. I think I might have to change professions and stop driving pickups. edit: On my powerboost with livernois tune, I get 23-25mpg in and around atlanta. I get about 700 miles on a tank of gas 89oct, I have gotten as high as 800 miles while driving up the east coast from GA through to VA. Might seem counterintuitive, but having a good amount of weight in the bed helps your mpg.

Really like this truck. Not $65k for an XLT though. That’s insane. However, I don’t think it’s “inflation”, it’s more that they know people are willing to pay whatever they ask for these days. So as long as people are willing to pay, they will keep charging.

The thing about Ford's is those that know skip the fx4 & opt for the tremor ride quality alone is significant both on & off road & there are other features as well

Ford bought back my 2020 F150 XLT super crew after it had a death wobble that Ford could not figure out. It went to multiple different shops on nine different occasions. Ford sent a representative to Florida to try to figure it out and couldn’t. I’m not sold that is the best pickup.

when are you guys going to do a zr-2 vs ranger raptor off road comparison?

A funny thing that I learned when I bought my 2019 F-150 XL: the base trim level has the same towing and payload capacity as the Platinums😲😲😲Too many people think they need a loaded truck.

I’m not a Ford fan but that truck really has a nice interior.

I like the previous Tremor grill and prices are high

Maybe they changed the towing numbers because towing 14,000lbs in a truck that light isnt necessarily the safest thing to do?

You gotta do a review with the updated 2.7 ecoboost f150

The service manager at my local Ford dealership told me to stay away from the power boost… lots of problems, complicated and hard to work on. He recommended the coyote or the eco-boost.

The loss of tailgate trim panel on thenhigh line trims is a HUGE NO for me. I have come up on several new F150s that I would think were XLT and thebtrucknwould be a KR or Limited.

No Coyote available above Lariat trim? Why is that?

Only took Ford till 2024 to get a heads up display, way to go ford!

They got rid of the NA V6 because it was too reliable.

“Still the best?” …can’t still be what ya never were 😂😂

4 eco boost now 2x F150 and a 2x escape. Never an issue.

I own two Ford F150s, a 2012 and a 2018. The thing I'm worried about these vehicles is all the tech inside them. We're getting to a point where discontinued software for a vehicle could brick your truck.

The high output 3.5 ecoboost is back? What trims can you get it on?

that huge fuel tank would be nice to have.

At these prices and the build back better interest rates, I'll have my 21' for a LONG time.

La Quinta ca 🙌🏻 welcome to the coachella valley TFL

20amp off the dash is actually quite impressive

Good review It’s not your fault that prices rise

Does it have a digital rear view mirror like dodge and GMC yet ?
