2022 F450 Platinum! (Full Time RV!)

[@x3dominator28]

Enable Bambi mode it allows your driving or fog lights to be on when your high beams are on. That’s a great forescan change to make. Also increase the number of soft blinks for the turn signals when the trailer is connected. KYD has a great video on that. Mine now blinks seven times instead of three when I tap the turn signal

[@donaldbailey5576]

My Duramax does that automatically when you engage tow mode.

[@seagullsbtn]

First time f150 truck owner for 4 months and 6300 miles. Have many of the features you have like adaptive cruise, speed sign recognition . Learning how to use these features to your advantage takes time. I've towed 6k and that weight and drag is well suited to the truck. Looking forward to the next drive, 940 miles in a day x2 as it's so comfortable and stress free versus normal cars.

Congrats Chad and Tara on the new truck. We purchased an F350 Platinum for our tow vehicle and have never looked back. We’ve also encouraged two fiends to get SuperDuty trucks as well. A couple of things. (which I’ll email you from your website to follow up if you’re interested). First i use my upfitter switches to control my Victron DC-DC charger and a couple of separate USB ports that I installed in the top cubby on the dashboard. I also installed a BuiltRight Industries and 67 Designs dash mount system to hold our Furrion backup camera display, cell phone, garmin gps/TPMS monitor display. By putting a couple of multi-port USB ports on the top dash there are NO cables or charging cords dangling down in front of the dashboard. The only other thing I would have suggested was not getting the factory installed bedliner, they are not that great as they are put on AFTER the bed has been painted, so the bonding is not that good and it’s pretty easy to peel off. I suggest that you look at Bullet Bedliner and read some of it’s history with the popular Line-x brand. Take a look at their videos. I also followed your lead and put in a shotgun latch toolbox in the bed along with a tonneau cover. only difference is I went with a Reese GooseBox so that I could easily have my truck bed back without having to remove a big heavy hitch. more to come

I originally ordered F350 Limited in Feb this year but switched it to F450 Limited during May of this year. I was told that previous order put in will put my order on priority process. Thank you for the great video. I hope to get it sometime this year.

I have the same truck. I bought it used from someone who ordered it and then turned around and sold it. So far I love the truck.

[@TRtribal]

When I saw the 450 I immediately though "oh no, now they'll have a lower cargo capacity" - I was glad to hear how you addressed that. And that truck looks awesome!

[@PaulJersey]

I had the ceramic coat done on my red crew cab 2019 F250. I wash it, and use a little ceramic instant detailer and it still looks like new. No issues at all.

[@garrettm949]

I can tell you the Liquid Spring stuff is a game changer. We are running them on big F550 expedition trucks which ride like a dump truck but the handling afterwards feels like an F150. The fact that the suspension can change hundreds or thousands of times per second depending on road conditions, throttle input, etc is remarkable. The adjustable height for our off road applications is great, but also the ability to lower the truck significantly does help ingress & egress. We also love Carli too. The have progressive leaf springs that are epic... But you will want to supplement with airbags as you loose approx 25% of payload without the airbags supplementing. Took my father-in-laws 2019 3500 limited DRW to Carli after they complained of the ride when towing their 40' 5th wheel and they have been so thrilled since! Suspension is worth everything....

Very nice truck. I have a 2018 F-150 and it’s just an XLT but it has the panoramic sunroof and I’m so glad I got one w that.

I also have a 2022 F-450. I highly recommend getting the Amp Bed Step under the left corner of the rear bumper. It works way better and easier than the built-in step in the tailgate.

[@joshsstuffs5877]

Man, great idea. I have a DRW F350 on order and have been thinking of ways to make it easier to get in and out of it. That fits the bill for sure.

[@phecksel]

I put mine on my order, not knowing how I would ever use it. I was working on my 5th wheel and using the tonneau cover as a platform, There was no way to use the tailgate step, but this fit the need perfectly

[@b.erickson6495]

This video is probably one I’ve most been looking forward to!

[@danielwagoner]

I work for an EMS agency. We run F450 extended cab chassis with a fairly large ambulance box. We have the liquid spring suspension system and honestly the ride is very smooth. I know the added weight of the box and equipment would make it smoother than on your trunk with a truck bed but they are nice because you can adjust different ride settings (comfort, normal, and sport). We keep ours on normal because the comfort setting allows too much body roll with the box being so too heavy.

[@jfletcher4949]

I agree. Liquid Spring is a game changer. There is a reason that 95% or so of all F450/F550 emergency rigs now go with it instead of air. But it does cost a bit and I believe you are best to find a shop that has installed many of them on F450 emergency rigs so they have plenty of experience.

I got my F450 back in February and love it. The turning radius is what sold me on the truck.

[@ohiomoen]

Congratulations on the F450! We traded our 350 for a 2020 F450 King Ranch, mostly for the turning radius, but also for the 10 speed transmission. I was a bit concerned that the mileage would drop off when pulling our RiverStone Legacy since the 450 has the 4.30 rear end ratio, but with the 10 speed I am actually getting better mileage. Having higher horsepower might also benefit since the engine isn’t working as hard at the same speed. We were also wondering what the difference in ride was going to be like, but you really can’t feel any difference when towing. When we aren’t towing, it still isn’t very noticeable difference between the previous 350 and 450. Like you, we love the massaging seats!!!!

[@ChangingLanes]

Yea.. that mileage was a nice surprise!

[@wj2791]

I currently drive F350 6.7 DRW and am ok with the ride quality exception of hitting the small bumps and feeling the bouncing jolt on the freeway when driving empty. That is only on 1% of the situations on my daily driving. Other than that, I can manage if I adjust the speed just little when road gets bumpy and rough. I have F450 Limited on order since last Oct and am interested on any small tips to keep it as is or some simple upgrade like changing out shocks.

And you'll get a dozen different recommendations for gear oil, so here is number 13. AMSOIL Severe Gear 75w140, (arguably one of the best gear oils in existence). I don't know about the 450 axle, but my F350 is an e-locker, no limited slip additive needed. Check your specs, or look for the telltale wiring harness that goes to the rear axle......

For the ride quality, I suggest some adjustable shock absorbers. There are some companies like King that can build them to match the stock shocks without having to lift the truck. With the turn of a dial you can adjust the dampening to compensate for the heavier loads. They ride like a cloud. Safe Travels.

[@chrisnelson4182]

Don't know if someone has said this yet or not but look up police mode (will not let you take it out of park with no key in the truck) Bambi mode (keeps the fog lights on when you turn on your high beams) Really help keep light low in the front of the truck when you are on very dark roads and traveling at higher speeds That is the best 2 I have done not including the double honk delete you already did Hope this helps and I love your 450 and dash set up

For our single rear wheel 2020 F350 - I swapped out the factory FX-4 shocks for some Bilstein 5100 shocks (stock suspension and height). Made a big difference on rough roads. Also lowering tire pressure when not towing makes a huge difference in ride smoothness.

[@kentwicker6818]

Nice truck and thanks for sharing the info on the features! I tow our 14k fifth wheel with cruise control and leave it in drive, flat or mountains. So many people say don't tow with cruise or leave it in 6th. I figure if that were the case the Ram/Cummins engineers would have it in the manual not to do that.

[@joeg5414]

I hauled cars all over Colorado in the mountains with a 2016 Ram on a 40ft wedge trailer loaded with 3 cars. Never an issue with any of that. Dunno about with the adaptive cruise control though. Glad I did that for a couple of years - got really comfortable driving with a big trailer.

[@bethmikels3613]

My F450 Crew Cab 4x4 rides like a dreamy smooth Cadillac pulling my heavy 5th wheel going down the highway. I used Air Lift Load Lifter 7500 XL air bag kit @ 25 - 30psi in the rear and Air Lift air bags in the front @ 15 - 20psi plus Bilstein shocks. I run low pressure in the air bags because I don't need them for raising the truck up any but just to smooth out the bumps. When running around empty I run 10psi in the rear (minimum recommended air pressure) and 10psi in the front air bags (5psi minimum recommended air pressure). The Bilstein shocks help a lot over the stock shocks with the little sharp bumps and joints in concrete roads and the air bags smooth out the big bumps. It's a great combination. The empty ride is still stiffer than a 1/2 ton pickup of course, but hey it's a heavy duty hauler!

[@lanedelker9161]

Man what a beauty. I love that turning radius. The one thing you will notice on the F450 is the tire wander. It will find a groove in the road and wander with it. Not every time, but you will have that. Something to do with the 19.5 inch tire construction. I like the idea of the adaptive steering, but not adaptive cruise control. I absolutely hate it on my wife's Honda Passport. You're also using cruise control much more because of your 4:30 gears. It makes a big difference. The F450 is a fantastic truck, but it is way overkill for our future upgraded RV. There reaches that point of diminishing returns, and 16k lbs certainly does not need a 450. So I ended up with a rebate mailed to me from Ford (over 30 years of them) only to find the order bank for the 2022's ended the week before. I drove the Ram, and it's very nice. I just think I want to stay with my Fords. So now I'm stuck waiting. And I'm not sure for how long. I'm glad you got yours. Enjoy. Pet Daisy for us, we're still missing ours.

A little pricier, but I find I get better mileage and wear protection using amsoil in both the 6.7 and the diff. I know you’ve been down the DEF road before (I don’t have a DPF, heh) - make sure you use a good additive like Stanadyne since you’ll likely be keeping that on.

Welcome to the F450 club! We've been driving our 2019 King Ranch F 450 for three years and it is by far the best truck I have ever had.

[@mckenziebovee6496]

With fotscan you can make it so your mirrors fold when you lock the truck then they will unfold when you get back in and close the drivers door

I really like your content. It is so sharp and detail. Thank you for another great video! Great car - I hope it will serve you many many years.

[@BellsRidesAboardSeaBoss]

Pretty! The F450 is the bomb, the turning radius is so much better than the F350, it’s literally the only thing I dislike about our 350.

[@oshi8994]

Beautiful truck! You're going to love the panoramic roof. Brings in more light which we all can use!

I've got the Kelderman system on my 2021 F450 and love it. The stock height system maintains all of factory geometry. I took the truck to Iowa and had the kit put on at their shop. I did the 4H control system with Kelderman shocks and dual steering stabilizer. Changed the ride dramatically. That combined with doing 20" wheels with BFG all terrains, my F450 rides like a F150.

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for the feedback, Logan! 👊🏼

[@wj2791]

How far do you live from Kelderman Iowa? I have 2023 F450 Limited coming and will like to keep the stock height system to maintain all factory geometry. Did you drop the truck off? wait a few days? What is the 4H system shocks and dual steering stabilzer? How much did it cost? I may look you on on Facebook to see some pics if posted. Did you trade in your old tires and rims at Kelderman? How many miles have you put on since? Any pros and cons? How much did it cost?

[@mikemoxley9477]

Could make my own conments about your 450... but listening to your voice shows how you love all the new items. So my one comment is " Great Purchase and congratulations"

[@michaelmccloud7613]

Keep the ceramic going…..consider applying ceramic window tint. As a skin cancer individual, I added this to my truck (including the sunroof) and it greatly reduces the UV rays. In addition, it also cuts down on the heat from the sun. I’ve noticed on long drives, I don’t have to have the AC down to the coldest setting on hot, sunny days. Looks great!

[@ChangingLanes]

We did that but it didn't make the video... The heat is MUCH better!

We have a 2022 F350 like you guys had, minus the 4x4 and ours was an XLT with moon roof. We tow a 2022 41.5 foot 5th wheel, been full time now since June '22. Haven't had any issues with the truck so far, it's performed fantastic and we're getting 10 to 12 mpg towing. I'm used to the turning radius so that's not an issue so far. Our trailers gross weight is 16K. My biggest beef with this truck is all the CHIMES! Open the door, turn lights on, open door WITH lights on, backup and so on. I'll be digging to the program to get rid of most of them! Ordered our Ford in October 21, got it 6 months later. Bought the Reese hitch based on your review, and we have the Flexair kingpin. Great combo. Getting the I.S. and disc brakes this October.

Love your channel, keep up the great work. In a couple years we will be ordering our new retirement setup! It will be our biggest rig yet. We are going with F450 dually and Jayco Pinnacle 38FLGS which is 44 feet long as well. Can't wait to have our new setup. I noticed your phone mount is nearly identical to the QuadLock stuff I have. They actually have a charge head that charges your phone without having to plug a cable into the phone, just plug it into the head. If you have power up on top of the dash, you could eliminate one of the cords dangling down. Love your vids, keep up the great work! We are in NC as well. I need to check into that ceramic coating shop!

[@juliedavis9922]

we did the ceramic coating as well and love it. love your channel congrats on the new ride

[@jimboberry66]

Got my F450 ceramic coated at the place in Franklin while on vacation. They did a great job! Thanks for the recommendation!

** A little info on your Ambulance suspension question*** Most Ambulances have an onboard compressor filled, air-ride system. They have airbags, and sometimes get popped hitting railroad tracks or large potholes if you are driving too fast. They will deflate a little once the engine is turned off, so they have to stay plugged in. You can talk to a mechanic at an Ambulance service or an emergency apparatus mechanic in a town or city. They will educate you on what system is the best and most durable. It is a constant repair situation for busy Ambulances, so they are quite familiar with the systems. Safe travels, I enjoy watching all of your videos.

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks, Josh!

[@d4sythe01]

Forscan - enable def soot level gauge, also enable temp reading above coolant and transmission gauges, police mode secure idle

[@stevecampbell2867]

A great looking truck. I ordered my 2022 F350 last October and still do not have it! I ended up getting a used low mileage in Orange, TX. late January. You are one lucky couple!!

[@TwoCaptainsOneShip]

So happy for you guys! We just picked up our TT last month and ready to hit the road!

[@ChangingLanes]

Congrats on the new RV!

[@apatty06]

Ride quality… liquid spring all the way. We use them on our ambulance at work, but can believe how amazing it is. UNREAL

[@terrysweat4204]

congrats. we had an F450 for our restaurant business and loved it. the ride is rough without a load on it but once loaded with our MC trailer, the ride got a little better.

[@atomictyler]

I won't get a truck without ACC now. It makes long, boring, drives so much more pleasant and relaxing.

[@jrfireboy2]

Pro tip about the supplemental heater; it does not work if the thermostat is on auto. For it to work/come on you have to turn the thermostat up all the way, turn the fan on to your desired setting (basically turn off AUTO) and pick which vent setting you want. It basically has to be used like an old school cab climate controls. I was frustrated because my truck has it however it would never get warm unless I used remote start. So I knew it was working. In talking with my service guy we came up with what I wrote above and it’s warm within a couple of minutes. Also, if you add a trailer to the back-up system, the truck will account for that additional length in the adaptive cruise control

[@precision3v312]

A platinum too, sweeet. “The president package” love the new truck

[@davidsartin5708]

Cool, love the new truck. So many things that were not available back in 1995. I do still recommend the wing to help reduce drag and helps to keep the bugs off the front of the camper. Well worth the money and it is easily removable when not towing the camper.

[@marcs8991]

What a dream truck.
