I drive a xl and my dad drives a platinum and tbh I would also rather get the xl if I was on a budget they’re not much different when it comes to driving

@@HSSANITO for real, I have a smart phone I don’t need the other electronics, my seat stays in the same spot, and I don’t see the need for the bolt on crap, my wife has a fully loaded f150 and I’m not into it. I don’t use any of the features

@@JakeScott-ke3sh the only thing that’s cool is say is the massage seats but like it’s not something that would make me want to buy a plat or a king ranch the price differences for simple changes is crazy

@@HSSANITO exactly

Stay away from the new Cummins trucks. You can’t go wrong with either the Ford or GM. I think GM still has the better transmission but I like my Ford better overall.

Things to know. 2019-up Cummins has major design flaws with lifters, no bearings and engine failure will happen. Powerstroke CP4 is known as a failure point on any diesel, unless you run fuel additive with lubricity to prevent it from happening. Duramax gm designed and built transmission with fake Allison label purchased from Allison, otherwise people will not consider duramax. No problematic cp4, however crankshafts prone to breaking causing severe engine damage.

@@repairvehicle that explains why I’ve seen numerous guys weld the crankshaft on those Duramaxs. Never knew that was a major issue until recently. I have a good friend that owns an L5P and so far he’s very happy with it. My only thing with GM really is the IFS which most people don’t mind but for me Id rather have a solid axle Incase of off-road situations. Me personally I’ve been looking into the F450s but a lot of guys have told me to get 17-19 because the 10 speed auto isn’t really that good in the 20-22s compared to the 6 spd in the 17-19s. I love the looks of the rams and I’ve personally owned 2 6.7s and never had any majors issues however I have read where the 19s and up where having issues so you saying that must mean it’s true. Which is such a shame because the Cummins platform use to stand by their name and their products but I guess greed is really what is ruining these manufacturers. Thank you for your input much appreciated.

They stay cleaned out passively if you run bio fuel. If you’re running dino diesel it will fill the filter up and do a regen like normal. The regen is very fast though compared to any other truck I’ve had. It will clean itself out in a just a few miles.

@@Parker-ub8xu my exhaust filter literally is on 0% all the time. It never moves. It may as well not even be there. If it’s zero, what would be the explanation of my def level dropping?

Do you have these actual tests?

@@repairvehicleno he’s a troll and thought the ford 6.2 was a 3 valve

Chevys don’t use cp4 anymore. 5gen rams have bad lifters, no bearing in them and it’s a ticking clock ready to explode

My 2020 uses hardly any.

same here with my 19 Cummins

The only way I can tell my 18 ram in regen is through scangauge, when it starts and ends. Also, how full it is with soot

I use to own a 2015 6.7 and before I got it deleted the only way I could tell it was in regen is when I’d have the truck parked and it would go into a high idle and you could smell the DEF being burned from the tailpipe area. Also when pulling a load if it was going up hill and it went into regen I could tell the difference in power wise but other than that you can’t really notice it like the older preDef trucks.

@@jeffelmore6652 This was really good info, thanks! 😉

Dude emissions really don't cause issues like people claim. Its 95% terrible operation habits

Of course

It’s brand new..

Exaggerated in all my years driving one I have not seen one go and I don’t know anyone that’s had one go.

@@JakeScott-ke3sh then why there is kits available to replace cp4 with another more reliable, if it’s exaggerated? No one created kit to replace cp3 pumps

I’m just saying my experience and it’s hard to believe, companies need to make things to sell even if they are not needed, maintenance is key
