Default Steel vs Aluminum F150


This is the all new 2017 F150 with the 10 speed auto and 2nd Gen 3.5L Ecoboost. Nothing compares to these new F150's in the truck world.

I'm an F150 owner. That's my 2013 and my 2017 F150. Of course I want to attract people to the channel. I enjoy making the videos and doing the comparisons and getting feedback. It's just a hobby, thanks for commenting.

if you would like to put up many links to your channel, start a thread and keep them in there. Don't put them all over everyone else's threads, please.

He has FOUR posts. Two in this thread. How much spreading could he possibly have done?

Every single one of his posts were this video, though.

Yep, pretty lame as it doesn't even attempt to spark discussion. Just spam it and collect views and subs. Then move into the next forum.

Whatever the OP's motives are for putting up the YouTube video, I'd like to thank him for doing it.

His results are in line with my "butt-meter" tests between my 2010 Lariat 5.4 and my 2016 Platinum on acceleration. The 2016, with a 3.31 rear, puts me back in the seat if I floor it, (and makes my wife nervous, LOL), the 2010 with a 3.55 never did. I log my gas mileage with every fill up, and got similar results.

So, while I was very satisfied with my 2010, as my posts on here show, there is not a thing on the 2016 that does not seem better.

Thank you @Allhatnocattle...I actually had no intention of just spreading it all over the forum as you are saying. I just wanted to share the results with other F150 owners like myself. I know there are people on the fence over the aluminum vs steel debate and the V6TT vs V8 debate. Do you think I make money on youtube...lol. It's just a hobby, I have a full time job, I'm a military pilot and as cool as it would be to make a living on youtube that's not happening anytime soon. Just trying to share some videos I enjoyed making with other owners. Thanks for watching and commenting. Adam
