FORD F-550 VS RAM 5500 30K SQUAT BATTLE!!!

Sam from V-BELT & SON did this same test with his RAM 3500 and wanted me to do the same with my 2017 550 so I finally had time so check it out to see the results.

[@workplaytv]

In the video I mentioned Sam had a 350 and 550. I meant 3500 and 5500. Sorry Sam! Lol

[@VBELTandSON]

Dude this might be my favorite video you have made. Solid energy. Loved it. You out there filming and having a good time. I was stoked for even being on the punch line of the jokes! Glad you finally made this video! And one thing tho. I have my machine maybe 30 inches from gooseneck so... but either way my drop is half in longer than yours;) lol but great job man. Keep that high energy in videos! Makes me wanna keep energy up as well! And congrats on 1k!!!!!! Hell ya!! And looking forward to the new ram 3500 haha jk either good stuff

[@carriefaso7638]

I only have airbags on my f550

[@Operatinglife91]

Dude love the Patriots hat I love in new England

[@rwc2504]

Question on air bags. You say you put them on all your trucks so I figure you are the person to ask for real world experience and not a sales pitch. I have airbags on my F250 and have never found a leak in any of the fittings, bags, lines or manifold. Have you noticed your airbags bleeding off over a period of time and if so how much?

[@workplaytv]

Rob Caudill yeah over time they can bleed a bit especially if you are in a climate where temperatures fluctuates. Most mornings I start my 250 the compressor kicks on for a split second.

[@hollamby75]

They will bleed off, common. Primarily temperature.

[@tahasiahill9478]

What brand airbags are you using on your truck

[@workplaytv]

[@chrism2042]

Sam also towed around 30k with his 2018 3500, don't remember the number but it didn't squat much

[@workplaytv]

Chris M Yeah he only squatted like 1 3/4 inch. That is damn impressive! That truck is an animal!

[@chrism2042]

@@workplaytv I have one like it, the Limited with rear auto air suspension. It is a true machine! I traded my 05 Dodge 3500 dually this past Spring. I towed a 4-horse living quarter horse trailer weighting around 14,200 (two horses), with the 2005 and it never squatted lower that level bed rail. Several times pulling into camp sites, guys swore I had bags on it because their 1 ton trucks were squatting more than mine all while they had smaller/lighter trailers.

[@workplaytv]

Chris M Hahaha that’s awesome man! I love and swear by bags though!

[@natehawkins2910]

Built Ford Tough! ...Friday you add another Ford!

[@workplaytv]

Neo Craft Hahahahaha your so sure!

[@natehawkins2910]

Yep! There’s no way you could own that many Fords and then go stray off to dodge. Duramax isn’t even in the options list because they are so low rated on pulling. So it’s Dodge or Ford and I bet $20 you can’t stand the Aisin how it shifts. Not many can. So yep it’s another Ford.

[@workplaytv]

Neo Craft Hahahahaha the countdown is one!!

[@ramtrucks721]

[@chadw3370]

Probably need the same exact trailer, same piece of equipment in the same place on the trailer to put on each truck. That would be more accurate.

[@workplaytv]

[@adrianw7791]

[@adrianw7791]

Or i should have bought a ford lol

[@dankruger2890]

Just watched V-belt channel for the first time. His 3500 ram is Bad ass. It towed 30,000lbs like nothing. went down a hill a little faster than first thought. I am waiting for the 2020 Ram and GM 3500's to come out and put ford 5 years behind technology again. Not talking shit about ford. We own a couple fords.

[@workplaytv]

Dan Kruger Yeah he has that thing geared up! Nah I don’t think the new Rams and Chevs will be that impressive to be honest. The Ram will have a nice interior and will add that 12 inch screen that’s in the 1500 but everything else will stay the same. Didn’t like the spy shot photos I have seen really. I like the current truck better. The Chevs have been 5 years behind for 10 years so I don’t see them gaining 5 on Ford! Lol

@@workplaytv Some of the first units. The amazing part, if the engine was running, and the crankshaft broke, the FRONT part of the engine would continue to RUN. BUT the rear part WOULD be stopped. So when the transmission, would be put in DRIVE. THE truck would not MOVE. How strange is THAT.

Dont even squat this trk more than half an inch but unfair test major difference in trks. Chevy 2500 had 2025 wore out springs f350 has brand new 4500 springs without factoring in overload springs.

[@extremerc76]

I was a die hard ford guy until I opened the hood of the new ones.. even a repair as simple as a water pump is turned into a major repair on the new 6.7. Not to mention the questionable cp4 pump. It hurts to say it but I now own a 6.7 dodge, it’s given me no major trouble aside from emissions related issues but that can be had on any newer diesel (now deleted) and I did the water pump in my driveway in an hour when it went; combined with the tried and true cp3 dodge got my money this time... man do I miss my 7.3!

[@workplaytv]

extremerc76 Yaah man they aren’t meant to work on in your back yard anymore that is for sure!! How is the front end holding up on the Ram? I’m sure they have improved they just still scare me.

[@extremerc76]

workplaytv thing is I don’t have the money or down time to deal with a dealer for every little thing.. I have had no issues with the front end, a friend of mine had an 01 ram and was constantly tearing into the front end so I know what you mean. The new ram front ends are basically a copy of fords front end design (radius arm setup). I have 125k on it now towing and mild plowing. I’d opt for a heavier truck, 3500 and up stay away from the 2500 coil rear. Like I said I’m a ford guy but the new rams are not bad, ford still has a nicer interior IMO but until ford has a simpler motor under the hood I’ll be sticking with ram / cummins

[@rich1879]

What kind of drugs are you boys on? You dont have very much weight on that truck, ITS ON THE TRAILER, I haul 27,000 pounds of dirt on my 550 all the time, and I am not talking trailer, grow up and get real.

[@workplaytv]

Rich s Wow You sounds like a very happy man! Glad you are sharing your joy during this Christmas season! It wasn’t a test of hauling gravel was it it was a towing test we are not testing why the truck can and can’t handle for weight and if you knew much about gooseneck trailers you would know a lot of weight gets transferred to the truck. Anyway merry Christmas man hope you have a great holiday season!
