2019 Ford F-750 dump truck REVIEW

Doing our first review on the new Ford F750 dump truck

Our new dump truck is finally in service. First ride a long pulling the excavator. Total weight was 41,000 pounds and it did great!!!

Dang man! That truck is beautiful

Those air ride seats make a world of difference. I’ve driven a Ford L9000 with them and an International medium duty without them and you’re miserable without them. Ford makes great dump trucks and they make the best chassis’s throughout their entire truck lineup.

[@Random12231]

Those old L series Fords were wonderful trucks. Never heard a bad word about them from OTR drivers. Was a shame when Ford left the class 8 market. New truck looks great, amazing what a 'medium duty' is capable of now with modern technology

[@mikel9567]

I work for a county road dept. All of our dump trucks and semi's as well as most of our equipment have air ride seats. They are nice when you spend all day in them, but man can they be a pain in the butt. Most of our air leaks develop in the seat. We have one of the those Ford F750's at my shop. It's set up as a flatbed with a dump bed on it. In the fall and winter we put our chip box on it and use it as our chip truck. It hauls about 12 yards of chips with no issue, plus it pulls our chipper. Ours has hydraulic brakes though which I hate. There is no Park on those trucks. It's Neutral with the parking brake set. If you let anyone drive it, or move it make sure they know the parking brake must be set. Might not be as big of an issue for you since you have air brakes but in ours we've had some people forget to set the parking brake. Ever see a bunch of county road works running after their truck?

[@eliasmontoya7515]

I just realized ford made an f550 and f750 today! Man these are beautiful trucks. I've known about the f650 for years. I'm surprised it took me this long to connect the dots with the different models!

I started in 70s, with a F-600 big Gas engine A 4 and two speed rear. Pulled a CASE 580 meany a mile with that. Lots of city driving to work site's. It had the Low sided dump bed.

[@EDH90]

This is a cool video. I’ve been fascinated with these medium duty trucks ever since I was a kid. I think it is because of how versatile they are as a can and chassis. Outfit it how you need it. I saw a lot of F550’s as flatbeds for construction crews and a lot of F750’s as dump trucks, actually.

[@drivingmylifeaway7149]

Nice rig! How do you make any money with the price of the truck, tags and insurance. What's your hourly rate to make money. Like 60ish? What did you start out with. I currently just have a 1 ton and 10 ton. Getting a tandem soon! Great video!

[@DigginLife21]

Midnight Chevy I quote each job individually. Hourly rates tend to scare people. Especially if you can’t tell them exactly how long a job will take. I’ve found it’s easier to look at a job and figure how much I want to make and how much it’s worth to a customer. A good goal for anyone is $1k/day. Give or take. Thanks for commenting🙏🏻

The Ford 650 and 750’s are made in Avon Lake Ohio. I lived their many years a go when Ford was building the eco olive vans. I hope you keep your new truck clean. Is that over 26000lbs

[@Kangenpower7]

F-750 have a 33,000 GVWR, while the F-650 can be bought with the normal 26,000 GVWR or optional 25,999 GVWR so you would not need the CDL if NOT towing.

What is your wheelbase and your rear end ratio thanks ? I love the video , I do not have to leave the house now I just went for a ride with you guys

[@Anthony-nr1nd]

I have a 6.4 in my ford f350 flat bed and I have heard so many horror stories about em but not as bad as the 6.0. Once I got it second hand, I noticed that everything was deleted from it like all the emissions and it had a retune on it. What a world of difference! I have a buddy who has the 6.7 and he had issues with it after 80,000 with the emissions then he deleted it, put turbo upgrade on it and had it retuned. Now it’s running fine. I had a diesel mechanic tell me that ford uses the same engine across all there super duty lines and even tho the horsepower is different its the same engine. Just geared differently , my advice would be to look into getting that truck deleted and retuned to stock numbers or maybe even a little bit more power than stock. It seems to me after everyone started to go with this emission crap 💩 diesels lost their reputation. The Cummins bulletproof engine 5.9l, they ruined it with the 6.7 until deleted, the 7.3 again another bulletproof engine, ruined it with the 6.0, 6.4, 6.7 again all of them were perfectly safe and fine unless you delete them. Thats just my opinion though throughout the years of owning them and asking my friends that own em too. Just figured I pass the information along I hate to see that beautiful truck sit. Very cool! 😎

Congrats on the new truck. I blew the 6.7L in my 2012 F550 at 87k miles. It was my second Ford lemon truck, the first being a 2003 F250 with a 6.0L. They had the motor out of it at 6000 miles to fix a leaking oil pan. So I won't own another Ford. Love my new 2018 Pete 567. Hope you have good luck with your 6.7L

[@reggieanderson885]

What killed your 6.7?

[@dereksmith1803]

@@reggieanderson885 Don't know exactly. I was driving on the interstate when it suddenly started clattering horribly. I got pulled over onto the shoulder and got it turned off. Got out to look underneath expecting to find oil and engine parts on the ground underneath, but nothing. Got back in and tried to crank it over and it was locked up solid. Had it towed to the dealer and they told me that it was quite common on the detuned 450-550 6.7L for the lower half to go, but he didn't elaborate. It was fixed under warranty, so I didn't care other than I was without the truck for a little over 3 weeks while they messed with it. The truck had a Swaploader hooklift hoist and was my only truck and was what I used for my dumpster business, so was out of business for 3 weeks with cans scattered around town at customer's properties and no way to move them and a lot of unhappy customers to deal with. The rear end (differential) also went out on that truck at 62k and was not covered under warranty, so I had lots of issues with that truck. Happiest day was the day I found someone to buy the truck with just over 100k miles on it. Had about $110k in building the truck and only got $20k for it, so NOT a happy ownership experience.

[@t-mac6210]

You mentioned later, in the comments that you hate the truck because the turbo went out and particulate matter filter. Unfortunately, I think everything made now is problematic. I hear they also have fuel pump issues with the DP4 Bosch in which destroys the engine. With that being said, I still think this is probably the best truck for me do to nothing else being much better. EPA can kiss my arss

[@marshall-w9h]

cp3 pump conversion by S@S will resolve that issue as long as you keep up with maintenance - save or sell the current pump...

Gary Matusavige yeah. The truck being so short it’s hard to get more than 8 tons on it without putting rear axle over legal limit. 8 tons in box puts rear axle right at 20k and front axle at 9k pounds. Averages 7.5 mpg. It pulls 9.5 tons in the bed without a problem.

I'm surprised the Ford dealers themselves don't invest in outfitter shops.

[@Akalashnik1]

Was an f750 the way to go? Would an F650 do? Debating for one now myself.

[@Kangenpower7]

The F-750 can have air brakes, and air brakes for the trailer, I don't think air brakes are optional for the F-650, but the dealer can give you exact information. He wanted to pull a air brake trailer. I agree that a F-650 could get slightly higher MPG, and will have a overall lower GVW, so you can carry more at a given GVW, but the F-750 will have a 33,000 GVWR, while the F-650 is 26,000 or a class C license 25,999 pounds. The air ride seats are the best investment you can make on a new truck, or even a older one!

[@Kangenpower7]

The gas engine will cost about $6,000 less than the diesel, but you will not get the 9 MPG that he is getting with the 6.7L Diesel. Perhaps if you run propane? Many areas of the country, the propane is much less expensive, and there is "Renewable Propane" in some locations. Many cities are buying the gas version, to save on purchase cost, but don't really care much about the cost of the gasoline. Depends on the miles you run every month.

It is not applicable in Texas, North Dakota, and New York; brake endorsement and CLD exams are essential in Pennsylvania for air brake trucks with a GVWR of 26002 or more.
