Testing EVERY Ford Truck (F150 - F750)

[@1001Hobbies]

I WORK AT THE PLANT where these trucks are built. We build the F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600 chassis cab trucks, the E-Series cut-a-way vans, and the F-650 and F-750 chassis cab trucks in Avon Lake, Ohio. I work in Skilled Trades, keeping the tooling, equipment, and tools working, repaired, preventive maintenance, and redesign and improve the tools and tooling. It is something to see these trucks get built. If you ask the Plant Manager, he might even arrange for a tour, with your KZbin channel being what it is.

[@jeehill9592]

Yeah however, all of Europe is less than half of the size of the the U.S. which means a lot of people rely on big trucks to move all kinds of things. For example we do monthly dump runs because we dont have communal garbage pick up, when we do landscaping we have to haul the materials to and from our house, towing trailers with large equipment on them, etc. Its hard to compare the 2 very different living situations, sort of like someone in NY city judging someone living in Wyoming.

In my job in Florida we rely on the f350 to be our pipe truck its the best option tbh that truck can hold over 800ft PVC pipe and can haul a 16ft trailer behind it with 3 pallets of sod not mention all the tools and we need for the job and can hold so much stuff and it barely even struggles its definitely heavy but it's honestly a must in construction in the u.s

[@SundownMarkTwo]

@@themidnighttavern6784 "I've always wondered how those things handle at high speeds." It's a gigantic, top-heavy brick. The back end simultaneously feels like it's super floaty and has a ten-ton gorilla right over the bumper. At highway speeds, it's not particularly dramatic, except over old expansion joints and pavement changes. Lane changes need to be planned a little ways in advance just due to weight transfer. At least with the F450 my department has, the 6.7 happily carries you all the way up to legal highway speeds, and even in 6th gear, the truck still wants to pull past the (governed) 82 mph limiter. You're just drinking fuel for no good reason at that point, though. The older ambulances I've driven (both pre-2010 Chevy and Ford type 3s) tend to struggle a lot more with trying to maintain highway speeds, and the old Ford engines feel like boat anchors. The real pain is when the winds pick up, and the crosswinds just grab the top of the box and try to push you around like a kid with a die-cast car. However, the worse the road gets, the less speed you can keep, especially when you've got your crew trying to do their job in the back. You're lucky if you can even get 45-50 mph on poorly maintained New England state routes and back roads without rattling your crew. They also have a habit of finding any little rut in the road and sinking right into it, which can make trying to pick smoother lines more challenging than it needs to be. The rear suspension across almost every ambulance I've driven is super bouncy as well, so every crack, every heave, and every random depression in the road can unsettle the back end of the truck in ways that make me a little leery of going any faster than I _need_ to.

Dude I'm getting train3d tomorrow on the f750 garbage truck, I started out as a helper like 3 weeks ago. I'll be using the f750 until I get my CDL. this is by far the chillest job i've had. I've been a commercial fisherman until 23 and then construction until 31. I'm 34 now. I think this will be the line of work I retire on.

My dad worked at FoMoCo back in the 70's, so I grew up around Ford vehicles most of my young life. My Dad passed away a few years ago and he still had his 2007 F250 with over half million miles on the OD. For me, I've since owned Honda's, Audi's and Nissans, but it's funny how now at 53, my wife and I both drive Fords. Although, I am liking the looks of the new Toyota Landcruiser :)

A little note: chassis cabs are de-rated due to their duty cycles. This includes the F350, F450, and F550.

[@drew.-]

What does that mean? Genuinely curious

[@bcdieselsofficial]

@@drew.- it means the engines are de-rated for horsepower and torque, due to the fact that those trucks are heavier to move, and if they had the same power as the pickup trucks, they would be more likely to overheat. In other words, it’s supposed to be more reliable. However, with all the emissions controls on them, it makes little difference anyway. They’re still just as likely to overheat as their pickup truck counterparts due to the emissions controls.

[@rich7447]

@@drew.- They de-rate the engine to lower power specifications to extend the life of a vehicle that is likely going to be driven by employees that don't really care about the vehicle.

[@chriswilson433]

Chassis cabs are rated on a chassis dyno, not an engine dyno. The broad reason is that they will be outfitted with either an rv body or a commercial body. They are also, typically, sprung really heavy and not intended to tow much weight, but to carry more.

6:24 Part of this is incorrect. GVWR refers to manufacturers maximum total (gross) weight for that vehicle. Many countries have their own regulations that are based around GWVR or some variation. Just because you exceeded the GVWR of your vehicle does not necessarily mean you need a new license, it means that you have overloaded that vehicle according to the manufacturer.

[@adamspencer6666]

You are correct about the license part. You could buy an F-650 and tow an 5th wheel with a standard license. But some stats are cracking down and making people get a cdl for larger vehicles

[@TheHonestL1ar]

Kinda ridiculous how far I had to scroll to find this. Really irked me that Jerry was just spewing misinformation then. I know that in all the other 49 states, you can purchase just about any vehicle for personal use with a standard class C license as long as it's under 26000lbs GVWR, or the combined vehicle and trailer are under 26000lbs GCVWR. It only needs DOT numbers if you exceed that 26000lbs in some way, or are using the vehicle for commercial purposes. I know that California in particular has some really insane regulations regarding vehicles and their use, so what Jerry said may actually be true in that state specifically.

the 6.7 actually has 500hp and 1200 ftlbs of torque in its highest rating but once you get it in a cab and chassis configuration its detuned from the factory for reliability, thats why the bigger trucks seem to have less power

[@BeanoNoir]

Maximum GVWR you can operate with a class C standard license is 26,000lbs. Maximum GCWR (weight rating of truck and any towed vehicles) is the same 26,000lbs. California and some other states have an additional restriction on the towed vehicle needing to be less than 10,000lbs GVWR. Vehicles with a GVWR over 9,999lbs are taxed more severely when registering, hence the optional 10k package. Vehicles with a GVWR greater than 6,000lbs qualify for additional income tax credits.
