Me upgrading my truck this year from a 1995 to a 2005 and finally getting 4WD!!!!!!! KZbinrs upgrading their truck be like "Went from a 2019 to a 2020 to a 2023". Congrats! The poors salute you!

What ever happened to keeping a truck 10 to 15 years ? All these youtubers are about the same anymore. Talk in vein.

[@theinnerdreamer7043]

Why salute them! they are the reason auto manufacturers cheap out and build trucks to fail after warranty expires.

[@gorvyourself]

Great video. We love our Godzilla as well. Thanks for putting together.

[@jerrykrobby]

Awesome truck! Never been a fan of silver trucks but I like that color. I have a Ram 2500 gas now and the day I get rid of it will be the happiest day of my life at least in my truck world. I too had bad experiences with GM but I'm thinking of going back. My buddy has a 2024 2500 gas and the 10 speed tranny has made a huge difference in towing power.

[@GA-250RX]

Yessir! Getting mine next week and wanted to be sure the one I got had push button start. Love that feature!

[@craigraleigh8189]

I love that big screen and like the overall looks of this model. I have a 2021 Lariat with the 7.3, FX4 that I bought to pull my 30’ TT. I love my truck but you got my attention with the comment about how much better the ride is in your new one. Mine definitely rides like a truck compared to my F150 I had before. Oh well, it pulls my trailer like a boss! Nice truck brother, congratulations!

[@reelamor9950]

FYI , not all have the 12 inch. My XLT has the 8 inch and I though it was supposed to have the 12 . It may have been error on my part when ordering.

[@FiremanFrach]

Nice truck. I just bought a 2022 F-250 Lariat short bed (traded in my 2017 6.7 Power stroke long bed). Good luck with it.

[@lowblueranger]

Thanks for the video. I’m glad you went over the things normal people want to see, and since you bought the truck it’s a real world review. I’m looking at a similar truck just missing the power on board and pro trailer assist. I was going to ask what you paid, thanks for going over that. I’m hoping they go under msrp a tad, but we will see. I have the weather tech mats in my current truck and after a few years they start getting out of shape, I think this time I’m going to try the ford rubber mats. Nice truck, good luck on the computer issues. That’s one thing that scares me as well, I’ll be coming from an 08 f150 with no fancy tech…major upgrade for me.

[@Yielar1]

Nice truck for sure. I have the 7.2kw Pro Power in my F150 and it comes in handy when camping or for backup power. Be tough to go without now

[@rickrichardson5329]

Awesome video thanks for sharing

[@erkp6]

You’ve earned the views and subscribers with all of your good videos. Many of them have helped me. Thanks. I will admit I like to see in your videos, ‘What would Cory actually spend his own money on?’ rather than sponsored or gifted items, but I also recognize that’s just part of having a KZbin channel.

[@erkp6]

Ps… making me want a new truck.

[@WanderingWeekends]

Very fair point. I do like to point out a few things about the gifts. 1. Sometimes when folks use their own money they feel the need to defend the product OR have unrealistic expectations from the product. Having nothing invested I feel like I can give a bit better perspective. 2. I've done a few vids blasting gifts I have received... haha. 3. Many of the videos I do with the freebies are simply to introduce you guys to a new, quality product. Everyone's tastes and preferences are different. I don't want to limit the channel to only things I find useful. If its good quality at a fair price I am happy to introduce it. All of this said I completely understand your point. Its a fine line to walk. In the end the viewers trust is ALWAYS #1.

[@erkp6]

Yeah I can appreciate that. Just because I don’t want a given product, doesn’t mean you wouldn’t. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@philliphols]

Went from 05 5.4 superduty and an 05 6.0 gmc hd to my 22 6.2 ford. Love this truck, way better than the old dogs I own

[@reelamor9950]

Ordered a 7.3 350 Drw in Feb picked it up in April ans ir went back to the dealer literally 2 weeks after I picked it up. ALL and I mean All the lights would stay on after I shut it off and walked away. Stayed on till the battery went dead. Took a week ans the found the light control module was bad. Replaced and no issues. At 6k and no other issue . I like the 7.3 . Mine is an xlt and I added some of the lariat options. I think it’s a keeper.

[@terrance728]

I think it is funny what different people miss when go down trim levels. Unlike you mine was the auto climate. I got used to the key again without too much trouble.

[@ipmcotter]

Nice truck, I just got the Lariat 350. The ride is great, which is way better than I anticipated. It actually rides better than my parents’ GMC AT4 1500. I’ve got the 3:73 rear end and average around 16 hwy in ECO mode. I haven’t had the issue with the screen. I’m assuming though it’s much like the new tech in LCD / LED tv’s where it does a pixel reset to prevent images from burning into the screen.

[@jeffparker8268]

The Godzilla trucks are awesome period ❤

[@timf6916]

Nice. Good luck. And yes I am a Ford guy.

[@bryanthornton6787]

I wish I would've ordered one with 3.73 gears back when I bought my truck., but those 3.55's got some pretty good fuel mileage (empty) when I was up in the Texas Panhandle a few weeks ago. I hope your dealer is better than the ones I've been to. Congrats on the new ride!!

[@gregparrott]

If I correctly read your comment, you have an F250 (or F350?) with the 7.3 gasser and 3.55 gears. I am considering switching from my 2017 F350 SRW, 6.7 Diesel to the 7.3 gas engine. My assumption was that given 10 speeds, the 3.55 would be fine for light (~5,000 lbs) and also infrequent towing (~10% of the time) would be fine. But you comment, plus several others, as well as this video favor the 3.73. Can you explain why? I assume that 10th gear with 3.55 will yield optimal fuel economy, and if 10th gear struggles at all when pulling a trailer, it will just use 9th gear. Is that argument a weak one?

[@coreymerritt7742]

Love the truck Cory lots of cool options but I’m still happy with my 2003 dodge Cummins dually I’m currently driving about 30 Kilometres to and from work getting 14.8 miles per gallon 👍

[@goneridingparts]

I have a 23 6.7l.. I'm not at all impressed with all EPA crap on these, seems like a incredible waste. It's a federal law to remove it of course or delete, but the government trucks are deleted... hilarious.

[@anthonybrown618]

Appreciate the review great looking truck. As far as the tailgate down camera its only offered on Platinum and Limited it would be nice if it was standard with all trims. I just recently ordered a 23 F350 Lariat Ultimate Tremor with the 7.3L and 4.30 gears supposed to be in production on Aug 7th.

[@Jaggededge1055]

It’s also on king ranch

[@goneridingparts]

New truck prices are insane... if your using it for a daily driver, the mpg just seems insane horrible. very nice truck though. My 6.7 I drive daily can get 17-18 in town, then 23-24 on the interstate unloaded. but the prices on all of them are just ridiculous, I believe FORD is intentionally marking this stuff up to subsidize their electric. I don't think the chip shortage is as legit as they claim.

[@Camperfanatic01]

Just updated from a 20 xlt with 6.2 to a 24 xlt with 7.3…. Haven’t towed yet, but can definitely feel seat of pants difference. The 6.2 was ok, but could really tell there was a heavy camper behind it in the mountains of WV. Hoping the 7.3 and 10 speed make it better. (Camper is 34’ and 8500lbs) so within 6.2 territory. Anyways great info video, and helped me make the leap to the 24.

[@thomasgabalec722]

I have the identical truck. My infotainment screen dose the same. I haven't taken my truck in for this concern. Soon i will. I agree with you very aggravating.

[@michaelmeyers1827]

I’ve got a 2017 ram diesel with 3.73 rear gears and i really like it

[@nhancedsvt]

Good looking truck. I've got a 2019 F250 with the 6.2 gas. It does really well towing our camper but I've considered an upgrade. The 7.3 is high on my list when the time comes. I could see a lot of the features of this truck being game changers over my current.

[@englishenator]

The 6.2 was an absolute turd

[@plem7210]

@@englishenator I am happy with my f350 6.2 gas. But I also only heavy tow 13000 lbs 20 miles round trip. Where the long distance towing is only 5000 lbs. My guess is you did not get the 4.30 rear. I think that made a big difference on my truck. The 4.30 seems to add enough torque.

[@mzollnerable]

Hey Cory, thank you guys as well...

[@WanderingWeekends]

Our pleasure!!

[@coyotelife9732]

I test drove a brand new identical optioned truck. I freaking loved it and will be getting the deal wrote up next week.

[@mountainsintomemories]

I’ve been waiting for this video, was wondering why you upgraded, makes sense. Sucks the screen is giving you issues. I’m not in the market, but may be if my Hemi doesn’t handle us upgrading trailers. I always want to stay up to date on all the truck brands.

[@mileshiles1287]

Good to know that it didn't leave you on the road side. Did you have any problems with the last truck I have a 21 7.3 love it so far. The tech is awesome on these new trucks but worries me. Great video.

[@briandonald]

That color pops.

[@kevinburroughs6583]

Those electronic gauges and screen would scare me. Too much to go wrong and the whole system is down. Call me old school, but there is something satisfying about turning a key and having an engine come to life. Good looking truck

[@Yielar1]

You realize that digital screens have been common for 20 plus years in vehicles? Definitely not a concern these days. Heck, any gauge digital or not can stop working

[@CF542]

You have to try out the Pro Trailer assist. It's is amazing and kind of eerie how well it works. I am also upgrading my Ford truck to be able to have a true TPMS system that is integrated in the dash and works with the RV trailer.

[@Blakehx]

How much does that TPMS cost? Are getting the rear view trailer camera that can also be linked through the infotainment screen?

[@CF542]

@@Blakehx There are a few kits available. I bought the one with the TPMS and trailer yaw sensor which cost about $480. I did not get the camera kit since I already have a wireless camera on the RV.

On our 2021, we got an XLT and the dealer worked add on leather as part of the deal with Katskinz. You can get about any color you want. We matched the color to the interior trim. Good to know on the difference between 3.73 vs 3.55 which isn't much.

[@6582rg]

Do the Katskinz fit well, look good and feel good? I've seen them advertised.

[@jimmcknight3021]

@F350DuallyD To me they look the same as the leather you would get in a Lariat package. It is not going to be like a King Ranch, but my wife and I like it.

Love this video! I'm currently shopping for this exact truck so this was super helpful! I've been trying to compare/contrast the 7.3 Godzilla vs the Powerstroke Diesel and I think for me personally I'm leaning the Godzilla but I was curious more of why you went to the diesel and back to gas again? Thanks again!

[@herb7877]

Very nice truck. I followed you very closely when you went from the diesel to the 7.3L. I ended up ordering my '21 F350 XLT with a 7.3l gasser. NO REGRET's ! I was going to get a F250 but could not get it with a 3.73 rear. My options were 3.55 or 4.30. For $1700 I went to the F350 & gained 1k# load cap & 3.73. Well worth the $$$ Since 90% of my miles are towing a 8400# tt I'm really glad I did. I've had the 3.55 before. Empty it was fine, but towing it was just not working for me. Nut for nut; bolt for bolt F250 vs F350 are identical except the overload spring & rear gear option. I installed wheel well liners, shorty antenna, dampening strut to the tailgate, Weather teck's..

[@thejuiceisloose8703]

What kind of towing mpg are you getting? What size tires?

[@herb7877]

@@thejuiceisloose8703 If you are asking me; I rarely run empty but the few times I have I'm getting ~13mpg's in the city; 17+ empty on the freeway. Towing my trailer I have averaged ~10.3 mpg's going up & down a lot of hills & mtns here in the PNW. A 4200 mile trip to AZ & back I ave 10.3. I have got as low as 8.5 bucking wind & 13 on a pretty long straight flat run. tire size = 245/75R17

[@kingrider75]

My F250 came with overloads🧐

[@herb7877]

@@kingrider75 when I was going thru the gymnastics of ordering a new truck (7.3l gas); I found in '20, '21 & '22 the overload was only on the F250 Tremor or the F350. I guess it could be a dealer add or aftermarket? I did look at ordering the F250 & then adding it later. It was the same cost & you do not get the certified higher load cap. For me, it wasn't the overload, it was the 3.73 rear that I wanted and it was not an option on the F250.

[@trentherring5640]

Now I've got to go see if the zone lighting is on my XLT. LOL

[@tonyt4140]

Wow, I love the look of the truck and the front stone guard! I have a '19 Lariat and the wife gets the next new car car so maybe I can pick one of these up used in 2-3 years. I want the 7.3 as my 6.2 works hard when towing. My 3.5EB in my 150 w/ 10 speed was much more powerful and didn't need to rev nearly as much. Hopefully they work the bugs with the screen! What good is having a snazzy screen with all those great features if it doesn't work reliably?

Nice truck and glad you’re enjoying it! We had a 2019 F-250 with the 6.7L (Lariat, no fancy Platinum like KYD;) and I really miss it (traded it when we switched from a trailer to a Class C)! I’ve been looking at the Ranger as a possible tow car but they’re almost all stripped down base models and still overpriced. May switch back to a trailer anyways because I hate driving our motorhome. I don’t know what’s up with Ford… F-250, 350, 450 all have awesome cabs but E-350 and E-450 cabs suck!

[@6582rg]

I wish they'd put adaptive cruise control on all these trucks. It's the best option I've had, but when I went from an 18 Lariat to a 21 STX F350 dually it wasn't available.

A beautiful truck; Like the Monochromatic look; Our F150 2023 XLT does bring the Dual A/C in the 302A package. Here in South FLA for us, it matters when your wife and myself our at two different temperatures lol....Now my ride quality is awesome. I feel at least for the 250 or 350 the step ladder should be standard. My Previous GMC had a standard deep corner step-in corner bumpers that was helpful. Now I have to carry a little folding step. Anyway, like your straight-up honest review.

[@kevincameron8437]

Trucks are coming along nicely…once all the new electronics work! That’s a nice XLT with practical options. And the gassers sure have come a long way for the good.

[@jeffreyalsenz1845]

I must be an exception on the issues with thw 12 inch screen. Have a 22 F-350 Tremor and the onky time it did anything wierd was when it updated. Had just patked and the whoke scrern went dark. Was able to get it to come back on and it did it again. When i came back out it was working fine had some features it did'nt have before. Realizing it had installed the update.

[@jaimejimenez754]

I had the same issue with my 2019 f-150 where I had to reset it constantly, not as much as yours but at least every couple of weeks, I honestly think is a software issue on Ford's ew trucks/vehicles, I no longer own the Ford and don't have those issues on my current vehicle (Honda). Hopefully they can get yours resolved and you get to enjoy your new truck.

[@JohnSmith-ev1sm]

There is no AI with the parking brake; whenever you use the zoom for the trailer view, the truck knows at that point you're trying to hitch up and applies the parking brake. That's nice, but ideally the parking brake would apply every time you drop into park regardless of hooking up or not. You're stopping, in park, truck can't/shouldn't move anyway, just apply the brake automatically. My ram works that way though it can be turned off I don't see why somebody wouldn't want it to auto apply. I've used handbrakes and parking brakes every time I park (like we're supposed to) for like 30 years now so having it automatically set instead is just one less thing to think about.

[@gearjunkie3402]

[@fredfrontino3706]

Thanks for the info. I have a 2022 RAM 3500 6.7 diesel. I an also thinking of going to a gas engine. I've been having trouble with the radio also. Keeps losing presets and other weird stuff. Dealer says it's a known issue, and RAM is working on it.

[@enz6312]

I have the same issue with then center screen rebooting frequently.

[@WanderingWeekends]

It’s better lately but not fixed.

[@travelingboz0214]

That constant resetting of the 12" display is a common problem. I owned a 21 F-150 and now a 22 F-150 and they both had the issue you talk of. Both also had a problem with changing radio stations on their own. The 22 has a random problem with the bluetooth connection and my phone. Often incoming phone calls are so scratchy sounding I have to hang up and call the person back. Seems like each time Ford does an over the air update to the system new issues arise. Both pickups were back to the shop over these issues but were never fixed. It is aggravating but still hoping Ford gets the software issues fixed as I have a 23 F-150 ordered. Good luck with yours.

[@WanderingWeekends]

Yep, scratchy phone calls here too! Ugh

[@hvac.animation]

Great video. I can't get past the look of the box and bumper steps. Wish there was an option to delete in higher trim levels. Would love to upgrade to a 250 for the greater towing ability over my 150 but I know I'd hate it every time I walk up to it and see those steps..... yes it would bother me enough to overlook everything else that is amazing on the truck.

[@WanderingWeekends]

I absolutely LOVE the steps. Function over form. These aren’t Ferraris. JMO of course.

[@jeffgerat4733]

Great video, I have a 2022 f-150 and has the same problem with my screen since I picked it up, screen rebooting pretty much every time I start it ,as well as the radio keeps turning itself off. Just got my regular service today and mentioned it again so they’ve done a bunch of updates to the modules I guess. They said if this doesn’t work the next step would be to replace the needed module.

[@nolandenton1224]

@WanderingWeekends Hey Corey, do you have an update for your Sync system situation? I have a 2020 Godzilla and ever since the last Sync update have had the same issues.

[@newenglandrvadventures]

That screen is one of the main things that made me get rid of our platinum f150. It did the same thing you’re getting, holding down the power and fast forward will reset it sometimes I’d do it 2 times in a day. The last straw was when it somehow forgot I had a trailer attached after pulling away from a rest stop, and had a chair fall of from camper in front of us went to brake and swerve and where were my brakes? I had no trailer brakes. Few weeks later it happened again pulling out of storage, had done the whole set up screen froze and no trailer brakes pulling up to a light 55mph. Reset the screen and it was fine. Traded it in following weekend. 😅

Thanks for the video, it was quite informative. I just bought my first super duty, 2023 F250 Lariat Sport in Azure Grey, super crew and 8' bed, and really don't know anything about it other than that. Well, it has the 7.3 engine. I decided to buy a the truck before the RV, that way I can get the proper sized RV for the truck. Otherwise my truck is a luxury grocery getter and hobbiest tool. I work from home otherwise I would have had to be more responsible.

[@Patriot-pq1ku]

Any issues?

[@scottwillis9806]

The park brake auto applies if you park on a hill. I could be wrong, that's what I've noticed so far. When you back up to the trailer are you on a hill?

[@yardsaway1]

I love that aftermarket Superduty rock/bug guard. Is it adhesive? Can you send me the link to get one? Thanks so much. 👍

[@AdventureRocks]

Sharp looking truck, smart choices. My apologies if I missed it, but what is the payload on the door sticker on your truck?

[@WanderingWeekends]

Thanks guys? Payload is 3520lbs

[@AdventureRocks]

@@WanderingWeekends thank you, wow that's really solid payload 💪🏻

[@27dmarshall]

For anyone in the market for a HD gasser. I'd recommend giving the independent front suspension 2024 Chevy/GMC 2500HD 6.6L L8T w/ the 'Allison' a chance. I've owned a 2022 F-250 7.3L Lariat w/ 10R140 and now a '24 GMC 2500HD AT4 w/ Allison 10L1000. I definitely think the GM rides smoother, powertrain is quieter and overall gives a more refined feeling. For what its worth, I've been Ford since 1998 but I'd buy the '24 GMC again for sure!

[@wakeupamerica2024]

GM IFS is always shot before 100k miles

[@amandadavis9726]

I’ve never had any “premature” wear issues with any IFS,…and for sure not anything around 100k.

[@keithkrueger5352]

Nicve truck, can you show us the window sticker?

[@akonitony2]

Getting ready to trade my 2018 Power Wagon on a 2023 Tremor with the 7.3. Little nervous, but pretty sure I am doing the right thing.

[@jodyspencer433]

I went from a 17 Ram CTD to the 2023 F250, 7.3 w/4:30's Though it doesn't pull like the diesel, it still pulls like a beast. No worry's on sky high expensive diesel emissions, maint and repair costs. So glad I did. I think you will be too 👍

[@Keith-zn4vq]

Hey bro nice truck. That 7.3 is ok if ya like stoping at gas stations all the time. Me I'm a diesel guy. I like the power and the mileage that a diesel provides. There's nothing like stepping on the gas pedal and hearing that big diesel goin to work when ya got a heavy load behind ya.

[@davidcaskey4669]

I think the maintenance on the diesel with all that emissions stuff would ture me towards. If you talk to one of your friends real nice when that thing goes into limp mode they will come with there gas motor and tow you to ford I hope you don't have an engine problem it's sad to walk in and see the cab and frontend off the truck so they can get to the motor

[@myroncaudle9610]

I will take the gas engine over diesel to stay away from diesel maintenance, DEF, and going 5 mph because a sensor went bad.

[@Patriot-pq1ku]

I'll stick with just having diesel in my tractor 🚜

[@toddreeder3082]

Wow what a nice truck outside your issues it's a nice one brother! I looked at one recently I want a big and tall truck heck I'm 6 foot 7 so kinda fits lol😅

[@jimbobxcityguy5338]

I also have 2019 6.7 F350 Lariet. I hate the adaptive steering. Always fighting me to turn back to neutral. Or just driving around making turns in the city after a long day at work. I ordered a 2024 xlt and I pray the steering is easier or I won't take it. I'll go with Chev. their 2024 3500 has such easy steering. I was shocked.

[@steveparker7763]

Hey pal, can you provide a link to the hood protector? I can't find it anywhere? Thx!

[@williamcampbell1870]

Is the rear seat cover in the description? I looked on the Amazon store you guys have and would love to purchase one, it may be there but I couldn’t find it. Let me know which brand seems to fit very well. Thanks!

[@WanderingWeekends]

Here you go!! amzn.to/40sJegW

[@brandonloeffler3499]

Hey! Where did you get the black supery duty hood guard? Thanks

[@mjfuehrer]

What did they do about the screen/ computer. Just bought one and now i am nervous

[@ramirofigueroa3370]

What would be your opinion on a F350 7.3 dually? To tow our 5th wheel

[@natedog01able]

My 2005 is getting old but after 500k on the motor regular oil change air filters fuel filters. The only problem I had was the ecm. I can't complain other than that

[@k.c.wingert7179]

I've read that Ford is having all kinds of problems with their infotainment system, they are defective, screens lag, freeze, are off center, etc., and they are lightyears behind General Motors in this department.

[@jordanandashleyphillips5148]

As a Ram owner the infotainment system has their own problems 😂

[@BigBoiG]

FX4 is a deal breaker in Nevada. Not just skid plates, but a locker in the rear end.

[@enz6312]

What brand of hood protector did you buy? I'm looking for one for my 2023 SD.😊

[@WanderingWeekends]

Straight from the Ford site. The Lund brand.

[@notme5909]

Nice truck..

[@paulrodrigues9603]

By any chance were you @ the KOA in St Augustine this weekend? There was a rig across from us there that looked similar to yours.

[@WanderingWeekends]

No, we were in the mountains

[@kingrider75]

Mine sync screen dod the same thing. It will slowly get worse. They will be putting a new APIM in it. If they can get ahold of one that is.

[@DavidBrown-jt7yi]

It's crazy how Ford has issues with their screens. My buddies 2017 F150 had the same type of issue where his radio at times would just turn off. I've heard multiple people complain about the same issue. You would think Ford would've fixed this stuff by now.

[@lobbyrobby]

Does the xlt have a heated steering wheel? And do the heated seats turn on when using remote start?

[@user-bc4pf2bu7j]

So when you get in the truck does the menu on the speedo screen come up every time? Also have you had issues with the collision assist come on when pulling in a parking spot or very slow crawling traffic? It will apply the break out of the blue.. I have a few other issues with my King Ranch.

[@WanderingWeekends]

Yes, the menu pops up every time. I have not had issues with the collision assist.

[@atowndownn]

the xm subscription is what causes the screen to glitch

[@JackMehoff-iq5he]

Wavelength? What you’re experiencing when the digital display seems to flash in the camera it is due to the refresh rate of the display and the frame rate of the camera.

[@tj549]

If you have a Furrion camera on your rv are you having trouble with it working properly on your 23 model Ford?

[@WanderingWeekends]

I'm not currently running a backup camera

[@randybrandenburg5364]

Payload and tow capacity? I am going gas for sure but don't know if I want to go F250 or F350 I am looking for closer to 4K lbs payload than 3K.

[@vincehollingsworth8214]

I thinking of getting rid of the DEF / DPF / and going with the 7.3 have you anything go wrong with the 7.3 thank you Vince

[@WanderingWeekends]

Not even a hiccup from the last one. Nearly 40k miles.
