Im from mexico, i just bought a vw golf se variant 2016 tdi with manual transmision. I love this car. Just wondering because of the dieselgate they return this cars that were made for USA market. A they have a sticker that says that are are not allowed to sell it on the USA. so my question is. Is there any problem if i go to the states in this car? Idk if ill have any problem because of this

My 2012 5.0 has 3.73 rear end and tows pretty good. No where near 20 MPG lol

Proper answer should have been Yes you can, but there are caveats. My model s performance I drive just a couple miles an hour above the speed limit so I don't get tickets and get proper range under the same conditions gets close to 300 so I'm not quite sure how the long range plus rated at 400 is only getting 250. Unless you were driving like you don't care about mileage. My old mustang could get close to 30 miles an hour driving it like it was tested, but when I drove like an idiot it barely got 17.

Hey brotha. What kind of miles have you put on this bad boy? I’m looking to get one with 86k

Glad you never experienced the turn of death as I like to call it. Mine and many other PB owners are finding out the truck likes to leave you high and dry when turning onto a busy highway. The accelerator just seems to dead space when you press it and the engine RPMs fail to match that of the accelerator position. It's scary stuff and Ford still hasn't figured out 100% the issue.

This video was so helpful! Thanks for walking through this fix. I was so afraid it had blown my amp and speakers!

one thing i see everybody missing in their calculation is power that ramcharger comes with 663hp and 615ft torque theres no pickup on this planet making this power and getting this fuel milage in terms of power it comes close to ram rtx that gets 12MPG combined and cant tow nearly as much and im someone that hates the idea of full ev theres no way to make this much extra electricity as well as delivet it to every house and apartment this is the step everybody missed in my book best of both worlds perfect for someone like me that on daily comute never goes beyond 50miles but likes to camp 5 hours away on the weekend im sure it wont be perfect on first try but jus as ice engines first ones were less eficient than bicicle it takes time to perfect something its just the first step

How is your electric cost so low check your math take your month electric bill divided by the KWH you used I get 42 cents all in delivery charges line charges ETC that is the real cost. or like $4.20 a gallon gas

How do you increase and decrease the speed while full self driving is on?

This happened to us on our 2011 GMC 3500HD, (140,000 mi) while going up a grade in Utah, with a camper/small trailer. We had a mobile service deliver a Gates replacement boot, and were back on the road in an hour. (if you're stranded, you can call a local shop, and if they can find one they'll deliver it for a price. (we paid $200 for the part, and roadside delivery. It popped off again about 6 months later, but was an easy 10-min fix. The OEM boot is "bonded" (not clamped) to the pipe somehow, and when I had the turbo replaced, I think the bond was broken by the mechanic. The Gates boot uses two adjustable clamps vs one, so it's easier to fix if happens again. I've also heard cleaning the oil build-up in the boot/pipe, then reinstalling with some hairspray on the pipe just prior to installing the boot, solves the issue for good. It's been a good truck since we bought it, but it did blow a head gasket at 125,000 mi.

I dont trust comsumer report one bit they are paid off to tell bs

Consumer report is a big joke, i would never fallow their recommendations. I work in the home appliance business and what they recommend is NEVER a good product acording to my 27 years of doing this.

On the dmax the m only limits the top gear. I hated the duramax. Constant shifting.

There is nothing wrong with boost at low rpm. Thats the benefit of diesel. Shifting under load is way worse than being locked into a gear.

I had the 2014 Passat TDI 6 speed manual. Awesome car. Wish I still had it. What makes it more awesome is using Stanadyne Performance Formula diesel fuel additive. It burns even cleaner to the point you only use about 2 litres of DEF in 15,000 km. When on the highway I used to push the clutch in to see if it was doing a regen. You also get easily 64 mpg (imperial).

Hey, thanks for the shout-out 🎉 - Nebraska... GBR!

A normal hose clamp will get you home. From experience.

Which has more horsepower, the Power Stroke or the Ramcharger??? for that .16 a mile?

2022 XLT Powerboost 3.5L. Highway speeds gear 8-10, between 55-75 cruising and then light throttle into an incline half a second BZZZZ. sounds like vibration/something making contact. Not sure if it is mechanical or structural. i dont feel a studder or lack of acceleration.

I love my PB but between 8-10 gear on highway it buzzes when i accelerate slightly into an incline. I don't understand what it is. Sounds like a rumble strip. Jealous that yours sounds clean. cant find any solutions dealers can never re-create it. i'll get right on the highway and re-create it in 2 seconds.

twink

Thankyou! Sound went out today and this worked. Save me a visit to the dealership.

I 100% agree about the shifter placement.

navigate on autopilot did not work off the highway. the car informed you multiple times that it had ended. navigate on autopilot was off throughout the rest of the trip

So much bad info in this video. Please dont listen to this person. Fact check him against the owners manual if you dont believe me.

G21 and G30 gold

2023+ all the Standard output and HO are exactly the same except for two small things. HO has a watercooled jacket on the Turbo compressor housing and have stainless steel exhaust, thats it other than that they are exactly the same besides programming

Not even in tow haul. Hard to beat the Allison 6sp!

When you put your truck in slipper and wet mode does your tires seem like there grinding when turning ?

Why u have soo much recoil on a 9mm 🤔

consumers report test and report survey of owners so most of the vehicle numbers on people who have had no problems or more problems same. if you are a member they ask you to survey on what you own. with that said most the people with no problems do not report.

Good video. Exactly what I needed to see. Surprises me how much gasoline it will take to keep the battery charged. I thought it would use less and have a fuel tank half that size. But you also have to remember that you have electric performance through the entire 690 miles. That is a game changer. What I wonder about is what is the range will be when towing in extended range mode. I expect it will be less than half of the 690. Then the cost per mile goes way up. But it has far more towing capability than either the small block diesel or the Power Boost Ford. Towing performance will be much like the Ford F350 which is great for a 150 class truck. But it looks like the operating cost towing may be similar to the F350 as well. So where is the incentive for people who tow? Ram will not be able to sell the truck for more than the Ford electric 150, which is too expensive to be successful. The current market will not bear it. We'll see how this all plays out, but I think at this point, production costs will be too high to justify bringing it to market at a price point people will accept.

This sounds like you are justifying your purchase. It's simple statistics, a relatively large number of people are having issues with the powerboost as compared to the non-hybrid F150. Are all powerboost junk? No. Will all 10 speed ford/Chevy transmissions fail? No. There is a large number of failures and that is the issue, not your truck specifically.

Turn your Drive Mode “Knob”button and select what mode you want. Select Eco Mode. Allows you to drive up to 45-50mph on electric.

Over the years I've used the antidote a lot and come to trust it. Just got the lumbar crux. Keeping that stored away for the time being.

plus it has 663HP!!!

The powerboost has been, and continues to be, the ultimate bait & switch.

Face, diesels are useless ever since they started putting DPF's and DEF on them. Gas seems to work better when you take that into account. So long as the gas doesn't have direct injection.

Loss of mpg towing shows that the real hp depends on turbos. 3.5 litres is too small. Your in the early stages of worshipping the f150 religion. The dark clouds are coming in the future of that truck. Your mind is so dependant on this trucks existence that its scary what will happen to you when visits to the dealer increase. 50,000 is very young. Lol you are in for it😂😂😂😂😂

Are you talking about the mid B&O or the unleashed? I’ve heard great things about the latter. 🤔

short answer is nothing has been done by Ford to protect or mitigate CP4 failure.

Thank you. I was going crazy trying to fix this.

I want to buy a 2024 Ford F-150 with two types of engines: 5.0v8 3.5 turbo. Which one do you advise me to buy, which one has the lowest fuel consumption and the best service without mechanical problems?

How do yall get the boost gauge up? I've not been able to find that in the settings.

What about City mpg vs Hwy mpg? Currently I operate a 2019 EcoDiesel 1500 CrewCab and towed up the entire west coast with 23mpg average. Diesel was never cheaper than gasoline after 2019. I suspect this vehicle will have better fuel economy "all the time". While my truck gets 23mpg avg it also gets 0-5mpg when accelerating from a dead stop, and the Ramcharger should in theory maintain 20mpg at all time. @16:30 I highly agree, if this vehicle cost $90k , you would have another year of poor sales for Ram, additionally the Toyota Prius is an excellent example of "battery maintenance required", as the main battery cell is cooled from an interior fan that can become clogged if the filter isn't cleaned. I suspect Ram will have a similar fan that requires inspection. This vehicle should cost $45k to $55k given all the maintenance issues Stellantis is known for.

Ford OTA Update system sucks. The fact that I'm stuck, along with many others, with no updates in 3 years with no resolution is BS. Ford doesn't care. Good video

Thank you;u for posting! Worked perfectly!

Are parts east to get since it is no longer offered

Great review. I’m in the market for a Model S debating between the 2020 and 2021
