I am an owner of the F150 on my 3rd one the last one I had for 20 years and miss it. The F150 even though it can now tow heavier weights it should not be used to do so. I have an F250 6.2 and it out tows my F150 3.5 Ecoboost all day long and is more stable at higher towing speeds. The F150 is just to light to tow in heavy winds and on winding roads and in the mountains. same boat on the F150 and the F250 and I regret getting the F150 even though it can tow 9600 LBS and the F250 can tow 11500 LBS would have gotten the Diesel instead of the gas engine. Just my 2 cents

Sounds like he drove that older 99 f250 into the dirt, got every penny out of it, probably maintained it himself and then even when buying new again only paid what he had to for the specific needs he had. Great work! I bought my 2015 f150 brand new as an XLT model and now have it full paid off, but i'm not going to flip it.

Hey I drove them all too and I bought a Ram 2500 Diesel. I guess I kinda understand what he means by turbo lag but the Cummins is a totally different animal. It doesn't act like the other two. And I didnt buy a diesel to race it. I bought it to tow. And it tows like a freight train baby! And I got 3.73 gears standard. Very happy about that. Im sure he would have liked the 3.73's since he went 3.55's and his only other option was 3.31's. And Im a Ford guy! I was orginally only considering a new F250 until I drove the Ram. Then I was like ok maybe Ill consider another manufacturer. And hey all the little things he complained about not having like the leather stearing wheel and dampened tailgate... all come standard on the Ram Big Horn addition. And no issues with hooking up safety chains. Ram did it right. Rams big horn is their level 2 package just like Fords XLT. O and no matter how much you outfit a truck level 2 package it doesn't come close to a Laramie or Fords Lariat. You jump a fence between a level 2/3 package. I would make the argument that you could outfit a level 3 package (Laramie/Lariat) close to a level 4/5 and you could outfit a level 1 (XL/Tradesman) to be closer too a level 2.

@OGL iaDL No you don't. The 2500 gets only the 68RFE and the lower rated 6.7, while the 3500 gets either the same 68RFE + 6.7 or the full output 6.7 hooked up to the Aisin for some extra cash. It's been that way since forever. You don't get the Aisin with the 2500 suspension. And the 68RFE is just fine if you don't drive like a maniac. It's not there for you to tow, not hoon; that kind of behaviour will wreck a AS69RC before long, no difference. It just won't last forever like the Aisin, but when the time comes eventually to replace the 68RFE, it's got one major advantage over the AS69RC in that you can opt for a built 68RFE instead, which will walk all over any Aisin you can get your hands on.

I'm seeing a lot of "how much did he pay for it." "Must have paid sticker" speculation. I'm not sure many people understand how a dealer buys a vehicle. The vehicles on the dealer lot are not owned by the dealer. In the case of the dealer I bought from - they had about $30M in vehicles in stock. Dealers can't afford that kind of money, so the vehicles are owned by a floor plan (finance) company. The longer the unit sits on the lot, the more the dealer has to sell the vehicle for to offset the floor plan charges. If you order a truck, the floor plan charge is essentially $0 as it is a pre-sold vehicle. I own a 2019 F350, dually, crew cab. The sticker on the vehicle was right at $86K. I paid $75.3K including tax (about $1200), title, and license fees. My buying price was $200 over the dealer invoice price. However, that is NOT what they paid for the vehicle as the dealer gets "holdback" - about 3% of the MSRP from the manufacturer, and then what ever additional incentives and dealer discounts, volume pricing, etc. are available from the manufacturer. At a minimum the dealer made: $2580 (hold back) + $200 + ???? (other incentives) for spending about 2 hours with me when I ordered the truck and covering their overhead costs. When you deduct overhead and other sales costs, the dealer probably netted about $1500 profit on a $74.1K sale or 2% (plus additional monies from manufacturer to dealer incentives). Dealers make more from the service department and on used vehicles than on a new vehicle.

Most of motojournalism is pollyannish. It hasn't always been that way. That said, if you want honesty with cars on you tube, check out Scotty Kilmer.

Yeah let’s remember that the 7.3 is, I believe, a true replacement to the 6.8 V10. That means it’s designed with medium duty in mind, be it commercial trucks, semi large RVs etc. I think in a 3/4 ton truck application it will shine really well.

I don't know much about trucks but as a 20 year old electrician I kinda have an idea about all those little bells and trinkets. The automatic windows and heated seats, and the cameras are all great things to have but common sense tells me that some of that stuff will go bad in 5-7 years. The backup camera is nice only for hooking up a trailer(I turn my head when I back up.) I assume trucks don't resell very well when a camera is out and one window no longer extends/retracts.

Don’t buy the new 2020 gmc diesel if you snow Plow. I bought a 3500 denali with snow Plow prep. The first time plowing I get a check engine light apparently the slow Plow blocks so air flow sensor and turns on the light which puts it in a limp mode which enables possibly the lower but also the remote starter. So now I have a diesel in winter I can’t remote start. Also I had to take off the tailgate to put in a salter. GM doesn’t have any plugs like the used to to block off the power tailgate wires and the back up camera wires. So I had to tape them so they don’t corrode with the salt here. The big kicker is because I unplugged these which is common on a Plow truck the entire camera system now doesn’t work. These are 2 things I bought the Denali for. Gm can’t and won’t fix either issue and I have a fleet of trucks from Gm. Looks like I’ll have to go to ford.

Have you considered picking up a spare backup camera and leaving it connected so the camera system functions? I have replaced the one in my Ram and you can find them for as low as $20 if you look. The system sees a fault and it notifies you by disabling the entire system. If you have a "load" there it should work again.
