This 2023 Ford Super Duty Upgrade Won't Make Headlines...But It Can Be INSANELY Useful!

[@WheresHerb]

GM has a snow plow edition also it's something you have to ask dealer about though. Also I would rather have plain ol' switches.

[@anthonymartinka7712]

When you have a problem, rest assured Ford will blame the upfitter. Upfitter will blame Ford and it will probably never get fixed.

[@infernoking7504]

You could already do this with older trucks just as easily and not have to pay 50k for a single truck

[@willcultra3268]

Ha, try 65-70k.

[@WW-wf8tu]

Yep, that was my thought as well. For every integrated "solution" mentioned here, it has already been done by after market components for tens of thousands less. But that is the story for everything.

[@EastCoastFrank]

I get the idea, but as a guy who does this work a lot I don’t see the appeal. Maybe the spreader function for variable speed but the plow please don’t meet with lol. Operators need to keep the control there. Backdragging etc….

[@dmegahan]

This seems like this would make fleets more efficient and therefore work more efficient. But what does it cost.

[@WheresHerb]

Do any of the big 3 offer a pto anymore 🤔? My dad had a 1978 Chevy 30 with a pto and hydraulic pump. He ran some of our farm equipment with it.

All 3 of them do.

[@cymerus2]

FYI, you can ignore this "Ford Pro Vehicle Integration System 2.0" if you're not a fleet / upfitter customer, because Ford won't give access to their cloud software to make use of it. Anything "Ford Pro" is their new cash cow, so you can forget about it.

[@jamesonpace726]

[@travelingboz0214]

Yup, cool technology. Only problem is Ford just can not get their act together to produce super duty trucks. Friend of mine ordered a King Ranch Oct 2021. He is still waiting for it. I tried to place an order for a 23 Lariet and was told I only had a 20% chance of it being built and no guarantee that it would come in with the options. The dealer said your more likely to get a XL or STX. No thanks when I can find GM to my liking on the lots. Keep it up Ford your loosing me as a customer.

[@achilles6312]

Interesting, I placed my order on 3-11-23 and it was delivered on 4-25-23

[@travelingboz0214]

@achilles6312 Just curious as to which package you ordered.

[@frankclark7039]

Have had my Superduty ordered since October for Job #1 build. Have had 3 emails from ford telling me they can’t build my truck. At least they gave me $2000 off for the inconvenience.

[@scottsymons6152]

Similar to the farmer running is half million dollar John Deere and quarter million dollar planter in the field. Turning off on turns and shutting off certain rows on point rows. Adjusting fertilizer on the go.

[@regsparkes6507]

Why, why do we need all this technology just to go plow snow, and do ice control? Why not just provide the buyer with simple ( effective ) mounting points for the aftermarket equipment and wiring? Want to bet that I can get my 1977 GMC hooked up to it's plow and go clear a lot, faster and better than a person with this 'whoop de do' electronic vehicle? Then, if and when somethings needs to be repaired on the job, I can get my plow truck back up on the job easier and far less costly than one of these new trucks. No I am NOT against advanced engineering, but it just seems ( to me ) that manufacturers have run out of ideas of how to sell vehicles, so they are buying and using mostly 'offshore' electronic technology to try to make their products more interesting to future buyers. Tell me honestly, wo wouldn't want to go to a dealer and pick out a vehicle they want which is built with simple and efficient products like they offered before . Having to connect aftermarket equipment to a vehicle today requires a specialist employed by the dealer. No more just being able to go buy a snow plow ( or whatever you want ) and bolt it correctly to the truck then run the wires, test it, and go do the job. Heck, I can't even connect a simple set of driving lights to my car today! Who wouldn't want to to just be able to go out and buy a pre-electronic Dodge Power Wagon, ( et al ) and go have fun! But alas, without being forced to spend all that extra money for a vehicle, we would be able to hire a 'robot' like Connor there, who can't smile and doesn't even know Andre's name

[@C10sRule]

This option isn’t that expensive. The capabilities have been there for a while now, this just makes it much easier to integrate it. The lights are handy when you don’t have to turn them on and they are automatic when you open, close the doors. You can even open the door the lights come on, stay on when you close it and shut off when you choose. It’s almost infinitely selectable vs a single use switch. Try adding 4 pages at 8 switches of pages,,,, 32 switches into the interior and make it any less complicated,,,,. 😂😂. It’s a nightmare and before long, the switch box you install becomes a PIA due too dust and grime getting into each mechanical switch. There’s trade off of course, but sometimes change is good! Maybe they won’t go driving down the highway with the boom still extended like you see on some videos. Or the goofs that don’t lower their dump box on a gravel truck and do a few hundred thousand $$ in damage to the truck & overhead structure they damage or destroy. Gotta look at the bigger picture. I’m a grumpy old bigger that prefers a 67 C10 to a 2023 Silverado as a daily driver, but when I’m working, or have a crew, I want simplest safest systems possible so (hopefully) no one gets hurt. I have used those old switch boxes,,, they are simple, but stupid so mistakes can be made. I have bought used trucks with them already installed and replaced them because they were worn out as well. Soft touch doesn’t wear out. Its all sealed as well. No actual moving parts in the switch.

Normally I don't plow show with gloves on

[@Dr.Meola1980]

It's snowplow for 15 years. Only once did I plow a storm wearing. Plow truck was overheating had to take the thermostat. Truck were not warm up to temperature so no heat. That was once out of 1500 snow storms. So no I would not worry about wearing gloves in using a touch screen. 😆

[@Alex.AL_26]

Exactly, I usually don’t even wear a coat while plowing, normally just a short sleeve shirt

[@LeeBreece]

More buttons!

[@JackF99]

A quick glance at local prices shows they want $95,000 for a 2023 F-350 Super Duty and they seem to depreciate about $10,000 a year in the first few years. That's too rich for a working person's personal vehicle so I suppose they're all written off as a business expense.

[@colewo92]

Clean your camera lens

[@willmix5044]

No thanks. Give me a set up upfitter switches and I will take care of the rest. I shouldn’t need to dig through my center screen to simply do what a switch flip does. More labor time for installation and programming as well as another point of failure.

[@bryaninnc5511]

I feel sorry for that new F-350 being relagate to plowing snow and spreading salt. Wouldn't want to be the next owner 🤣 I like that you're showcasing the capabilities Ford has been building into it's trucks, but I hate the trend towards everything being in a touch screen.
