[@enz6312]

Gentlemen, I bought a 2023 F350 nearly identical to the red truck. I use it primarily to tow a 40', 16k lb 5th wheel. I have no issues pulling through the mountains in Georgia and North Carolina. In fact we have driven some pretty scary mountain roads with ridiculous grades with no issue going up or down. I would love to have a diesel but don't need one and I've eliminated all of the emission issues and high cost of maintenance. Totally happy with my decision.

[@Tempsho]

What kind of highway mpg do you get when you’re not towing

[@enz6312]

15 with a 4.30 rear end. Have just over 5k miles and the mileage is improving as it breaks in more. I have been monitoring it closely. Get 9mpg pulling 15k pretty consistently even in the mountains.

[@Tempsho]

@@enz6312 that’s not that much less than my 2002 7.3 excursion gets

@@enz6312Wow, that’s better than my 08’ Nissan Titan. Thanks for commenting, great info.

[@user-ev5zt9dy5x]

I’m happy you love your gasser but how much extra maintenance do you think a diesel has? Mine uses 13 quarts of oil vs 6 or 7 for the gasser and I have to change the fuel filters every 20k miles. I buy a Ford filter kit from Amazon for about $60 and replace them myself in 45 minutes. Outside of that and DEF every 3k miles please tell me about the extra maintenance that a diesel requires, maybe I’m missing something.

[@pedrolozano8733]

I have a 2020 XLT w 7.3. I now have 165,000 miles on it. It runs like a champ. I'm in the construction industry and I regularly tow 10k-16,000 lbs. A lot of people underestimate these trucks. I tow this weight at times up to over 100+miles. Ford knocked it out of the park with the 7.3 motor. I'm hoping to hit 300k miles.

I have a 2023 F250 with the 7.3L gas. Use it to tow a 35' 5th wheel trailer. No problems towing. Love driving with the cruise control on. The 10 speed transmission does its job keep the speed consistent. The truck shifts down on hill decents to keep the speed under control. Don't need to use the brakes. Averaging about 8.8 mile per gallon when towing. Not as good as diesel, but gas is a lot cheaper. I think gas is a more cost effective solution (intial cost, fuel, and maintanence) if your trailer is within the capacity of the truck.

I have a ‘17 F250 XLT with the 6.2L gasser and it tows our 10k pound gooseneck horse trailer beautifully; never had a problem. I’d like to upgrade to the 7.3L, but the prices are crazy. My ‘17 F250 XLT with the dual panel moonroof cost $48k. It’s crazy to see that the almost identical truck is now over $70k!

[@AceEverett]

That's why I bought mine used. 33k for a 17 powerstroke STX with 20k miles. Only thing I didn't get was 4x4 but I'll upgrade in a few years once this one is paid off to a used 4x4 for not very much whenever the truck market isn't so hot.

[@theingobeck4772]

​@@AceEverett You know highway robbery is illegal right?

[@kckettridge]

I also have a '17 F250 XLT with the 6.2L gasser with the 6 speed tranny I had purchased new in late'17 just before the '18s were coming out and it tows our 14k lb. 5th wheel quite nicely. Other than the death wobble (fixed) , I have never had an issue with the truck. I am a little anal about maintenance, so I change the oil/filter every 4k and the trans fluid/filter every 25k. I now have 78k miles on the truck. I have changed the brake pads at 50k with Akebono pads which have proven to be superior to the OEM pads. Outstanding braking with no brake fade when towing in the mountains and I need to be on/off the brakes more frequently. The only modifications I have done to it are: installed AirLift Air Bags, a Hellwig Big Wig Rear Sway Bar, a K&N Throttle Control Module and a K&N Replacement Air Filter. For a short time, I installed the K&N CAI but went back to the factory air box b/c my wife couldn't tolerate the loud intake noise it made when towing hard. I am researching which other CAI's will give me performance without the loud noise. (BTW, the K&N CAI is for sale if anyone is interested in it), I installed a PMF Dual Steering Stabilizer Kit with the Bilstein 5100, I swapped out the stock Rancho Shocks for Bilstein's (Bilstein never again - they are too stiff) and I added the OEM keyless starting system. Overall I am very pleased with this truck.

[@AceEverett]

@@theingobeck4772 Well I don't know about robbery but it was a pretty good price. Last time I checked it's worth 13k more than I owe.

[@rver99]

I've towed our 9000lb GVWR 34' travel trailer nearly 25,000 miles with our '21 F-250 Lariat FX4 w/ the 7.3. I've towed it over the Rockies four times, including the Teton pass and the Ike Tunnel on I-70 in Colorado. The engine is a workhorse. I live in the southeast so I'm usually towing in a lot flatter territory, but I can tell you my truck has had zero problems getting up hills or even engine braking on downgrades. I usually climb grades at 3000rpm at the speed limit. I installed a Transfer-Flow 58-gallon replacement fuel tank which helps tremendously with range. For the curious, I average 9mpg towing the camper. By all accounts, the powerstroke gets about 12mpg towing the same camper. That's about 25% better fuel economy with the turbo diesel, but just checking average fuel prices on AAA, diesel is 23% more expensive on an average basis than gasoline, so fuel cost per mile is very, very close. The only thing that really sucks with this truck is the cruise control when towing -- it's too laggy and results in large downshifts when on rolling hills.

[@stgibson2810]

Modern diesels have lost every single advantage thanks to fuel prices and the EPA. Diesel is $1 more per gallon where I live so you will never offset those initial costs with slightly better fuel economy.

[@oldnumber6]

Going across the country, have you found it irritating pulling in a gas station with your trailer hooked up? That's one of the main reasons I keep going back to diesel. The truck lanes are very convenient.

[@rver99]

@@oldnumber6 At times, yes, but almost never a problem. My wife scopes out the fuel stops on Google maps satellite view which helps. We will tend to favor Flying J's when available because they will often have RV islands. The more annoying issue is hitting the transaction limit and having to frequently do two transactions to fill up.

TFL needs to do a max Ike with the 6.8 super duty with 4.30 gears. For people who are looking for an even more affordable truck with heavy towing and payload capability. There's not any KZbin videos anywhere with the 6.8 towing, just the initial reveal and test drive when it first came out. Let's see with the 4.30 gears how it stacks up against the 6.6 GM with the 3.73s. At least a 16k gooseneck trailer to keep it within the same weight test as previous testers

[@HSstudio.Ytchnnl]

I also demand a harder Ike gauntlet since 8 miles is no longer enough to push modern trucks to the max

[@257Tony]

The only problem is, the 6.8 is only available in base XL trim. Most of those are sold as fleet trucks, only a tiny percentage of 6.8 trucks will be bought by individual consumers.

[@erikswensen425]

@257Tony true, but alot of people go with the STX package, which you can get with a 6.8 since it's based off an XL. With the super dutys also having the XL offroad option, it also gives buyers an option to get a base model truck with offroad capabilities that people may want without all the extra bells and whistles. And contractors might like to see what the 6.8/4.30 combination will do, because they might see they might not need the 7.3 and save money without that option

[@257Tony]

@@erikswensen425 I'm including contractors in my "fleet". You are right, that sounds like the way to go for most people, but we all know most people will just get the diesel like the one in the video, with no gooseneck setup or anything, and just tow a 4k lb side x side trailer with it lol

[@jameswitte5676]

I believe that the super duty keeps their value better than the 150’s, but you’ll spend more on gas. I would recommend the super duty for its much greater capabilities if you’re towing or hauling. It’s better to have more capabilities than you need.

[@SliderFury1]

Honestly, half-tons are kind of pointless now. They've made mid-size trucks so beefy that they have like 80-90% of the capability of the average half-ton, but weigh less, cost less, and use less gas. Pretty much anything you can do with a half-ton, you can do with a mid-size, and if you're towing a decent size trailer that is technically inside the numbers for your half-ton, just get an HD at that point.

[@ryansheard8092]

@SliderFury1 I wouldn't agree there. Mid size trucks shouldn't tow above 5K lbs just based on their weight. 1/2 tons, 10K lbs would be max IMHO.

[@dalekrise863]

I got 360 cam, sport appearance package, FX4, exact same interior as the base XLT minus the power driver seat, LED headlights, and every option you can get with the STX. It's another $10k plus to get that stuff in the XLT and, like I said, I noticed almost no difference in power between the 7.3L and the 6.8L and the 6.8L is smoother and quieter.

It looks better than this red truck and would cost you $60,000. If you take good care of it you could sell it for $30,000 7 years later. Heavy duty trucks hold their value extra well. I don’t care about all these extra features I don’t need. Ford is charging people an extra $25,000 for leather, sunroof, led headlights, and other stuff I don’t care about.

@@cliffordmontana4562 the XL with the STX pkg seems to offer a great value

[@cliffordmontana4562]

@@erickisel8668 For sure! We don’t need all the fancy stuff. If you’re rich then get it, but too many regular guys are getting massaging seats on loaded trucks and their payment is $1300 a month. It’s crazy.

I bought a 2023 XL with the 6.7 a couple weeks ago for 72,000 (total) here in Washington State. And I was blessed with being able to pay $5,200 in taxes to the state of Washington🤬🤬🤬

[@trevorhart5576]

That's why I will never buy a truck brand new. To much money added to the price. Dealer and factory add ons, taxes, destination fees, them pushing you to get the extended warranty plan, interest if you get a loan, paying the state you live in to put a little sticker on the license plate every year, etc... I will only buy from private sellers.

[@ThomasLips]

​@trevorhart5576 you're going to pay those taxes whether you buy new or used in the state of Washington. I've gotten to the place in my life where I was able to write a check out right for the total, but that was $8,000 less than I paid for my first house😂😂😂

[@ThomasLips]

​@@trevorhart5576 and for the record, this was my first new truck ever

[@trevorhart5576]

@@ThomasLips That's too bad you have to pay taxes on used from private seller in Washington. When I bought me truck from a private seller down here in Arizona we went to the bank I didn't have to pay a dime more than what the seller and I agreed upon. Congratz on being able to buy your truck and not get a loan on it. I hope someday I will be able to do the same on a new truck.

How is the back seat comfort? Is the Ram Mega Cab with reclining rear seats the best HD truck for back seat passenger comfort?

[@konic40]

the night camera thing is an easy fix with an IR light, if they can get it into the trail lamp i dunno

[@byronorellana6886]

That's a beautiful shade of red.

The new backup camera at night are great

[@redracerproductions]

I've had a rolling tonneau cover for at least 7 years. Looks to be the same as what's offered by Ford. I installed it myself but while it was pretty good overall, I was never able to fully keep water out. These aren't new, they're just newly offered directly from the manufacturer.

the uplift switches are great and they are above your head lol

[@justloggit22]

Fun fact 50% of HD truck owners can’t really afford them. Just because you work hard doesn’t mean you should treat yourself to $75,000 in debt on a depreciating liability.

[@infernoking7504]

With all the emmisions bs on the diesel it just makes sense to get the 7.3 and maybe detune it for better mpg while not towing.

[@cfyves]

You showed the payload on the diesel... did you show the 7.3's payload? I was looking for it... did I miss it? :-)

That bed cover may be Ford branded but it is in fact a RETRAX bed cover. I have one identical to that on my RAM 1500. It was about that same price. I think I paid right at $2100 for mine but it does come with a lifetime warranty. Oh and it is all aluminum.

Sorry guys you are wrong the roll up bed cover had been around for about 30 years at least. It was called Roll N Lock you could buy one for about $1200 Canadian.

[@4Urlv]

I bought 2020 F250 Godzilla, at first I was very skeptical, poor gas mileage 8.9 then now I have reached 15.0 m/gal. T I was impressed by the 10 speed transmission and the pulling power it has, towed a 8000 pound travel trailer from Arizona to Oregon Coast with no problems, it pulled trough the mountains with ease. I’m sold. Would love to have Diesel but they have to many emissions problems and I was fed up with the ridicule’s high price repairs. I wish that ford would have a LXT with more upgraded passenger seat just like the drivers.

[@chasebeatty9539]

TFL, hope you guys get a chance to test a F-250 XL with the 6.8L equipped with the XL off road package.

[@theingobeck4772]

I have a 6.8L STX FX4 and I love it. I drove a 7.3 XLT that actually had a cheaper sticker and chose the 6.8L STX for all the extra features and the power difference is almost unnoticeable.

[@nroose]

Seems like the "dual exhaust" in that vehicle should be said while doing air quotes. It's just a Y fitting at the end of the exhaust.

[@chrisfelske2904]

Man you guys need to see the prices in Canada. That Tremor F350 STARTS at $106 g’s. Plus our dollar is at 0.76 exchange rate at the moment. Do the math and yikes.

I still don’t know why people love so much the complexities with so much technology on trucks making it more expensive and less reliable, it has more stuff than a freaking plane, missed the good old days where we used to have good and reliable trucks where people weren’t lazy and dumb, technology makes people useless and makes them loose their human abilities
