[@MrShankspony]

Thanks for the professional presentation! Nice truck!

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for watching!

[@aliveandwell2078]

Beautiful truck John! I’ve recently rekindled my love affair with my 2013 XLT. It’s been a blast bolting on these upgrades to make it a little more modern

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for watching!

[@dopedickinsonbb8359]

Beautiful truck. I have a 12 350 lariat an i gotta say even as 12 i am amazed at the tech an features it has. The interior is amazing, i love the look an feel. Its huge plenty of room an the cooled front seats 💺 are awesome. Love em.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for sharing

[@gdbunn]

Thanks for reply. That's not bad at all for that truck. My 08 F250 with the 6.4 diesel averages 15 too. Was just scared gas was gonna be in that 10-12 mpg range. What gears do you have? Also, what size tires do you have with the lift kit. Thanks for help. Just wanna make sure I'll be happy before I drop that kind of money on a truck.

[@robertrowlin9854]

Can I make a suggestion on floor Mats ! Getting the weather tech mats would be better for your truck. The high side walls and easy to clean

[@JohnFrancoNH]

I really like those floor mats and will be purchasing them soon because of that exact reason you mention. Factory mats are really nice, i just wish they had actual sidewalls.

[@thegrimreaper819]

Thanks,I hot the exact same except its the 350, pretty much the same great truck. Some things you pointed out I had no clue thanks.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for watching!

[@mattbrick7387]

Your truck is awesome!!! Nicely done

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks man. Its only the beginning! More things planned for the f250.

[@mattbrick7387]

I just ordered the same lift for my 14 F250. What size tires are you running?

[@mattbrick7387]

Never mind. I just saw the thread that you are running 34's

[@mattbrick7387]

33's

[@arthurcastaneda9969]

Hi John love your videos!! Beautiful truck!!! Can you send me the link where to buy the 3 1/2 ready lift.....I have a 2016 F-250 diesel truck.....i love that height!.... Thank you John....

[@MOTOVATOR101]

Ha I'm a little late to the party but I just purchased the same truck, same year, same color and I soo hear you on the lack of a heated steering wheel. I'm I n New England as well. Nice truck bro...

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks man. That would be the cherry on top! Unfortunately its only offered in the Platinum edition. Thanks for watching

[@akbychoice]

My 450 came with wheel liners. That stubby antenna would look cold on my SD. I got caught in a hail storm and it ended up doing over 7K in damage. One time I really wished I didn’t have the moon room. That was the first thing to go, glass, water and hail everywhere. Some of it was bigger than baseballs.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Damn thats very unfortunate. Thanks for watching!

[@deanc3362]

Whats the payload on that truck...just wondering what kind of hit you take with that package vs my XLT...my payload is 3350 (my 2017 looks almost identical to yours)

[@MW-gm1qv]

I just bought a 2016 f250 identical but not the off-road package. It's a nice truck, well designed and very roomy. What kind of wheel liners did you use in the rear and do you have any issues with the in dash SYNC system now that Ford has stopped using SYNC 2?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Marshall congrats on the new truck. The liners i purchased are husky brand. The in dash SYNC system is not bad but button presses with your finger can be laggy. I will have to try out a touchscreen stylus and see if i get better response. I would find it useful in typing in an address for the nav function. Thanks for watching!

[@vitolopoii7981]

I bet this dude's truck seat looks like Mac's exercise bike on it's always sunny lol

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Dont get your joke...please explain.

[@jaylee9041]

I just got those mirrors but can’t figure out how to extend them...? Could you please upload a video regarding the mirrors..?!

[@JohnFrancoNH]

The power telescoping (extend) button would be positioned directly under the power mirror adjust switch. Its a rectangular button. If you dont have that option on your truck then you may have to telescope them manually. Thanks for watching!

[@Luis-ht9nr]

Hey man! How does the truck drive with that lift? I have a 2016 f350 srw and i want to level it , mine is 3" taller on the back from factory.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Hi Luis, it drives very close to stock. Im very happy with the ride and the stance. And tail gate is still at a good working height. Just need 35" tires/ wheel set now. Thanks for watching!

[@paralyzes]

Yeah, the stubby antenna looks cool, but what does it do for radio reception?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Believe it or not its not bad at all. But my question to you is, why are you still listening to radio? Thanks for watching!

[@Intellistan]

Video starts at 1:45

[@josedeleon5623]

I just bought my lariat as well! 2015🙂

[@JohnFrancoNH]

I am still very happy with my 2016. Great choice! Thanks for watching!

[@roberts7107]

I just got my 2015 f250. Already put a front camera using the upfitters two flood light pods under grill also connected to upfitters. Mud flaps, bug deflated tinted front windows. Looks great I pull a 33ft trailer it's the Gasser 6.2

[@Maci2cool4you]

I have the same truck and comparable lift , any issues with your front driveshaft rubbing your catalytic converter?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Hi Ryan, i took a look at it today because you got me all curious. And no evidence at all of the drive shaft rubbing on the cat. There is a good 3/8" at the closest point (welded seam where the diameter necks down) in relation to the cat. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@scarroll625]

Did you borrow those Oakleys from PC Principal?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Haha...Thanks for watching!

[@EricD-og1mt]

What wheel liner brand are these oem? Oh and kudos to you for being respectful to disrespectful commentators.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

They are husky liners. Thanks for watching!

[@gdbunn]

what kind of mpg does it average around town vs highway? Looking at getting a 2017 F250 with the 6.2 as well and leveling it up with bigger tires. THANKS

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Hi, if you are light footed like me and with a K&N replacement filter i get an average of 15.4 mpg. On the highway i get 18-19 mpg if driven at 55-65 mph. Anything higher then that and you will see mpg drop dramatically. (closer to city mpg 12-15 mpg).

[@towman2012]

I have a 2012 F250 Lariat CCSB 6.2L and I'll be lucky to get 11.5 Mpg. I live in Northeast Pennsylvania and hills kill the fuel mileage.

[@colbydrake7048]

I get about 12mpg cause I've done quite a bit ofupgrades to my truck and I'm always in it

[@krskadave]

does the antenna work? I mean really work...like can you get all your stations without hissing and stuff?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Yes i get the local channels with out any hiss. But distant channels like 50-60 miles away do hiss a little. Your area may differ. But i do not listen to radio, i have an ipod connected via USB to the factory head unit. Another solution is to get a powered hidden antenna that you can mount to the top inside of the windshield if you really want superb radio reception.

[@michaelbowker938]

@@JohnFrancoNH any link for the antenna

[@daw764]

We don’t need any stinking badges!

[@kalwillis8717]

Are you going to get any aftermarket wheels?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Yes i am. I already have them picked out Thanks for watching!

[@ahankins19]

Well ya skipped leg day for sure

[@JohnFrancoNH]

LOL, going for the incremental gains approach.

[@247CAMD]

Which front hitch did you buy?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Drawtite.

[@patrickstevens5457]

you have a block heater for a gasser?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Yes...Thanks for watching!

[@davebona9592]

Patrick Stevens yes I just purchased a 2013 gasser made sure it had a block heater.....minus 40 come January February.....ditched my diesel for gas mainly due to the cold weather driving.

[@joshstory9627]

Why is he taking like 5 second pauses between each sentence lol. Is he reading off a script?! 😂

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thats just the me talking bro. Getting used to talking with a camera in my face. If it bothers you that much, then you dont have to watch.

[@jimwilson5307]

Cue cards!

[@scarroll625]

Where’s your review video? Don’t be a dick.

[@gienry]

It’s like he talks with a lot of commas

[@kingdick4508]

Somebody's from Boston! I'm from Revere, lol

[@JohnFrancoNH]

LOL ya dood, im originally from Malden guy. Nort shore strong brothah!

[@heymikeylikesit935]

Best three mods? Come on dude

[@JohnFrancoNH]

LOL,..why what would you like to see or have in mind?

[@meatman7232]

You missed the storage under the back seats. Bummer

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Yeah i agree it could be a little bit bigger. Thanks for watching!

[@kylevantassel7259]

Truck wont sit nose down if you are using it as intended. Now if you do that it will look like it has a full diaper....

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Haha...Thanks for watching!

[@jeepguy009]

Modify the grill

[@jeepguy009]

Teeth

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for watching!

[@williamschuster4756]

kick the windows out and derby that thing

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Haha..Thanks for watching!

[@Black-vw8xn]

Matt Damon

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Could you please elaborate?

[@kylekaae4986]

At your own cost, who else would be paying, Ford?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Yes that would be nice! Thanks for watching!

[@HappyGilmour1010]

1st upgrade - Get a diesel

[@JohnFrancoNH]

You buy, ill fly? haha. Thanks for watching!

[@hunterloy8585]

Its a gasser

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Correct! Thanks for watching!

[@Intellistan]

Trim the air dam, an antenna, and lift.... what? Good lord this was a flop 😮‍💨

[@JohnFrancoNH]

take it or leave it buddy LOL

[@GoingPlacesOne]

Remove the ugly fx4 sticker!

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Im strongly thinking about it...

[@19bXb62]

who put you up to this ? you should sell your Ford and buy a dodge/ jus say'n

[@JohnFrancoNH]

LOL

[@countryflyer4536]

The front is higher than the back, cant imagine how it looks with a load or a trailer on it, you can tell every thing is looks for this guy...this lifted truck wouldnt make it on our farm!!

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Of course looks is everything. Front is level with back not higher. And yes when i have my 10k dump trailer on it it does sag a little, not bad at all. Still 100% functional. Im ok with the sag. The trade off is worth it to me. Your last statement makes no sense. Just because its lifted it cant do work anymore? To each his own my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@user-maxim_79]

It's gas...no wonder why you got a good deal. I don't see anything aftermarket...tires and lift?

[@jaylee9041]

Theodore your diesel is over rated V10 all day

[@TrentRichardson36]

jay lee that’s a 6.2 v8 in this truck

[@user-maxim_79]

Crash bracket? You mean plow mounts.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

No not plow mounts..frame end crash brackets. Do your research before you embarrass your self my friend.

[@user-maxim_79]

John Franco sorry pal...you're wrong! They are brackets for a plow mount.

[@user-maxim_79]

And your truck looks as stock as they drive off the dealer lot.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

You honestly dont think i know whats on my truck? www.draw-tite.com/support/installation/N65049.pdf Read note # 2, it shows it right there. You think thats for a plow mount? Im pretty sure if you were to install a set of plow push plates you would have to remove those dinky factory brackets.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Oh well! Please go troll somewhere else.

[@hhall7152]

Wow. Very hard to listen to

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for watching!

[@jaylee9041]

Dude are you a robot... ? Smile man your talking to an audience generate your voice where it’s welcoming and friendly not stern n short maybe you’ll create more followers

[@JohnFrancoNH]

I agree. Getting better i think as i do more videos. Being in front of a camera is not easy my friend you should try it. Thanks for watching!

[@shane4022]

I wouldn't call these mods. More like autozone add ons

[@scarroll625]

SLANGIN SHANE still technically mods. Don’t be a dick.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Right...except i never visited Autozone.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Exactly...

[@danrobinson5675]

Isn't he point of a truck to work it? I have the same truck, use a liner, and fill it with materials, tools...It's going to get dirty. If you don't work the truck, why have one? My truck makes me money daily.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Good for you! To each his own. Thanks for watching!

[@mattbrick7387]

Dan Robinson really dude? Gotta have one of you in the bunch

[@user-maxim_79]

Some people don't need to make money with their truck. They make enough at their job!

[@krskadave]

I bought mine just cause I could...doesn't make money, costs me money...2016 F250 6.7L
