What we LOVE & HATE about our 2024 Ford F450 Limited!

#1StrangeAdventure #fordf450 #truckreview
✅ About this Video:
In today's video, we are kicking it off with a trip to Bob Moses Ceramic Coating in Phoenix, Arizona. We absolutely love the shine and protection that the ceramic coating provides, and the guys over at Bob Moses do it better than anybody else! That's why we drove all the way back to get another one of our vehicles coated. After that, we are going to give you five reasons we love and hate our new 2024 Ford F450 Limited. Don't get us wrong, we love the truck, but there are a few things we would change if we could. If you're interested in a new truck, watch this first.

I agree about how loud the fan is while towing uphill.

[@johnmann6637]

Truck looks great I have a 23 f450 platinum and I love it . Went with the 23 because it’s the 75th anniversary year . Also I’m a paint expert for over 20 years and I can assure u they measured your paint for no reason and kinda rubs me the wrong way with there intentions. I say that because there applying a coating on the truck not sanding it and removing material literally no reason to measure the mils of paint on there . But it sure looks cool when they use a fancy mil gage. Measure the same spots and they’ll b exactly the same or even more with the “ceramic” coating on it

[@johnm7340]

Thanks for comments - looking to move up to a F-450 next year. DEF on my 2022 F_350 6.7L Ford - DEF use will vary based on use - when towing out 5th wheel will regen more and use a lot more DEF - will call or DEF sooner - so if your last use was towing, it will call for more, even if not towing - as it is basing estimate on your prior use. Over time it will level out and when not towing my guage will go down to about a quarter before giving a reminder. It learns as you gain miles. But no question when hit tow haul and add a big load - bring extra DEF - burned 12 gallons in 2,000 miles towing a 16,800 lb. 5th wheel.

[@BJ-vd3rp]

If you downshift and keep your rpm in the correct range to keep your egt’s down then your engine temps will stay cooler and the fan will not kick on like that. If you drive it like a car then it’s going to kick that fan on because your egt’s are getting too high. Somewhere between 1,800-2,300 is the sweet spot of you don’t have a gauge. Highly recommend the the Banks idash guage. This will keep your regens down as well and less strain on that diesel engine.

[@chuckchillson2877]

I have 24 350 dually lariat trim black as well with ho . I had a 21 with standard 6.7 never even heard the fan. This one sounds like a jet taking off. I love my truck so far had it since march now Aug. Only has 2,200 miles basically only use it for towing. Sometimes think I should have went 450 but I love what I have. You have a beautiful truck.

[@stevedenoyer5956]

Your truck looks amazing, I have the same truck just in platinum. Black too! Beautiful trucks

[@jamielancaster01]

Back in 2004 we bought a BLACK XJ8 Jaguar and I spent all my time trying to keep the exterior clean! Just a little bit of dirt on it made it look filthy! We will never again own a black vehicle of any type!

[@chrisreardon9520]

2022 F450 King Ranch. Best truck i have ever owned. 46k miles so far. If you double tap the traction contol button, you will get Sport Mode. Fells like it locks the convertor in the lower gears and the truck reall rips from a stop.

[@stephanleslie]

Sorry, l will stick with the Cummins. But your happy and That's all that counts. Thanks for the tour.

[@joshsuperduty1270]

What year

[@Itsa_Mea]

Yup, same.

[@jamielancaster01]

Hell yes, it’s the best truck ever made! We got ours 3 weeks ago in Norfolk (white platinum).

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Nice!!!! Congrats.

[@NoSticksNoBricks]

Love the truck! It looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. --Jen

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks guys!

[@raisingwildberrys]

I/we would NEVER buy a black truck but it looks AMAZING!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thank you. Love a black truck!!

[@The_Berry_Patch]

@@1StrangeAdventureobviously that’s Derrick responding. He needs Jesus…and Bob Moses.

[@cindy.strange]

😂😂😂😂

[@destinationfulltime]

Great review of the truck! It looks amazing!

[@DavidBrown-jt7yi]

I heard the Firestone Tires for the F450 are much better than the Continental tires. I 100% agree on the chimes. it's the worst thing about Ford.

[@krisjordan8037]

My 24 F-450 HO does the exact same thing with the DEF gauge and warning. The tank is TINY!! Why they gave us 48 gallon fuel tank and a 5 ish gallon DEF, I will never know. I own one of these things and I still watched your video! Might find a button/feature I missed! Thank you!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Well, the RAM had 3 gallons so this is an upgrade, lol. I just don’t understand why it tells me to refill at 3/4 of a tank. I would understand if it was below a quarter. 🤔

[@BillUtah]

@@1StrangeAdventureinteresting. Our Ram has the small def tank and it’s over 5 gallons. The other RAM models have almost 6 gallons. I wish my RAM 3500 longbed had the 50 gallon fuel tank.

[@josephsouza9951]

The def tank is 7.5 , my buddies Regagade super c is only 6 gals.

[@krisjordan8037]

My 22 F-350 DRW was 12!! What the heck!? It also used much less than the 24 H.O. does. Just goofy.

[@ptwhd]

Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Thanks for watching

[@user-vy2wz7xt9o]

Agree the best truck. We have a 2023 F450.

[@kevincameron8437]

That is a sharp looking truck. I just wish GM offered something like that in their 4500 line. Thanks for sharing.

[@wj2791]

It is great that you waited 16 months. I first had F450 Limited white ordered on early 2022. After waiting for about 13 months, i pulled out and got 2023 Ram 3500 DRW White Limited HO 6.7 , 4.1 Night Edition. Ram has less drama with TPMS, rear air bags, more quiet interior. Ford had very loud fan and engine noise during the accelerations. Ram sucks on cameras compare to my last Ford 2020 F350 DRW 6.7 LWB Lariat. It is hard to see out, and I don't trust the camera's to get me out of the tight spot. For Ram's I don't have to worry about adding the TPMS, Rear air bags, Centramatic.... which is the good thing.. I did the whole truck PPF instead of the ceramics.. It costs more, but after few years, it will definitely protect the truck from the rock chips and other damages. I also did the ceramic tint including the windshields, and clear 3M protection on headlight/fog light to protect it from chipping and fading. Your truck looks great and thank you for the wonderful video. Price for both trucks are identical. I chose no moon roof for my Ram.. to prevent future water leak issue.. Ram gets around 15.5-16.5 on Highway at about 72 mph.. For heavy payload/ MT driving, I get around 14.5 mph combined mpg.. I did purchase 8 yr 125k mile extend warranty.. Ram is slower than Ford, but it is fast enough for me.. 6 speed is behind its time. I did hear Ram is coming out with 8 speed. But for the long run, 6 speed Aisin 4.1 may out last them all. I have zero issues with the Ram other than 17" tires.

[@Lnmop123]

No TPMS on F-450

[@walterrafolski5662]

I just ordered a F450:Lariat ultimate in star white with Baja interior, hope to get it this year! Turning radius is what sold me.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Amazing turn radius!! Early congrats

[@Lnmop123]

I got lucky and got my 2023 F-450 King Ranch in Azure Grey (by far the rarest combo) when the customer who ordered it backed out I hoped on a plane and flew 3,000 miles to get it and drove it home. Also paid MSRP which is awesome considering they were all going for $40k over if they were on the lot. I also got my truck paint corrected and ceramic coated. It’s a must. I agree with your thing about the interior air vents. I feel like the AC also isn’t great. I mean it’s not bad. But it’s by no means as good as I feel it should be for such a big bad truck. My biggest bone to pick with the truck is that the gauge cluster display screen always goes back to the generic screen every time I start the truck so I have to put it back to how I like it which drives me absolutely nuts. However, I will never sell my truck. The pros far out weigh any cons

[@richarddonnagriffin7369]

Great video!! Just bought my f450!! Wanted to ask what model truck bed cover you have? Thanks!!

[@D.Wilson2]

😱 where did you film the review? That place looks amazing!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Gunnison, Colorado. Beautiful!

[@mfrain3870]

I test drove a GMC with the Duramax before buying my F350 DRW with 6.7 and the exhaust brake was night and day better then the Ford. But in 21 the Denali vs. the King Ranch was nowhere near the look and features so I went with the Ford.

[@chris31215]

Great episode, on the Conti 'commercial' tires, would reducing the air pressure help? Obviously not in the rear but the front??

[@stevedenoyer5956]

What’s the cost roughly to ceramic coat this truck, without paint correction. . Going to get mine done just curious

[@markcloutier7317]

Would love to know a budget $ for ceramic coating. And how well does it wash up? Not like you can run it through a car wash.

[@marc-andrebelley2217]

Very cool video. I have a question about towing capacities and according to Ford TOWING charts I was wondering why you did prefer the 450 when the 350 has higher ccc and 5th wheel towing. F350: GCWR 45600; axle ration 4:10 5th wheel 34700; payload 4973 compared to F450: GCWR 43500; axle ration 4:30 5th wheel 31900; payload 4473.

[@jguse]

We love our 22 Platinum F350 dually. I also wish engine exhaust was stronger. Ours also is loud on long steep climbs. The one thing I hate is while driving with exhaust brake on in town driving it will downshift to 1st gear with a bang coming to a stop.

[@wj2791]

I come from 2020 F350 6.7 DRW.. to 2023 Ram 2500 HO 6.7.. Engine break is night and day differences. Ram is also very quiet. You are lucky to have F350, not F450.. F450 is cool, but you have to do lot more work and check with tires, no TPMS, tire imbalances. They are all great truck though...

[@Halfdead211]

How much was the ceramic coating?

[@kingranch8516]

Hey get with Arod powerstroketechtalk he is awesome wealth of knowledge for the ford 6.7.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

I'll take a look - thanks!

[@jdnunnery1082]

Okay, okay, this is a family channel. Quit talking about Fords. Just kidding. I'm really a fan of the interior. The leather seats in person are awesome. Great 2-tone color.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

You know you love the truck content ;)

[@Patrick_Armendarez]

You have a large Momentum like us. I like a lot about the ford. However, I’m concerned about the weight of our Momentum. I added MORryde 8K IS to my rig and I can feel that added weight. I’m in a RAM 3500 and was a little worried about the added weight but have got comfortable with it. Since you have owed both, how would you compare weight handling with the F450?

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Both handle the weight really well. With that said, I love our truck and will not be going back to RAM.

[@stevedenoyer5956]

My dealer told me to wait 30 days after build date to do anything to the coat? Mine was built 6/30 picked it up 7/5.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Probably a good rule to go by. Ours was built in January.

[@joshsuperduty1270]

Diesel Ford Super Duty truck is the best 2024 Heavy Duty truck n Diesel truck good ole American 🇺🇸 made

[@Lnmop123]

Oh, one other thing I hate about my 2023 F-450 is the (correct me if I’m wrong) fact that it has like electric steering now or something? I hate whatever it is. It’s to easy to steer and it doesn’t want to go back to center fast enough on low speed sharp turns. It’s really bad I hate it. But I love the truck so gonna get used to it.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

I wonder if that has something to do with the tires? I noticed that it doesn't go back to center like other vehicles but does it with normal tires? IDK... i'll find out one day. lol

[@Lnmop123]

@@1StrangeAdventure unfortunately no. I have 22” JTX forged dually wheels with 37” nitto ridge grapplers and it’s the same. I vaguely remember someone telling me they went to electric assist or something in the steering in 2023 and i think that’s why. I never really looked in to it tho. I had a 2018 and my buddies 2020 is normal feeling steering. All the 2023 and newer trucks steer this way. It is very uncomfortable going around sharp turns at low speed. I hate that the wheel feels so light in your hand and wheel does not come back to center. I wish the steering had more resistance and it came back to center.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

That makes sense.

[@Lnmop123]

@@1StrangeAdventure anyways, love the content. Amazing !!! Keep it up please.

[@gregmonhollen4327]

Beautiful truck too bad It don’t get fuel mileage like the ram

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It has a bigger rear than the RAM so the gearing isn’t helping.

How is it a 2024 when you orderes 16 months ago. Thats ridiculous

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Ordered the truck in October of 2022. 16 months later, 2024. 🙂

[@AmJaxineer]

​Well, I thought you reordered, and with a different dealer...Brandon. That really doesn't count as 16 months I think. Also, your video mentions being glad you chose the HO motor. The Limited only comes with the HO motor. So glad you guys got it, she's beautiful. Can't wait for our Platinum to come in. We got the same options, but wanted the Antimatter blue...which for some reason isn't available for the Limiteds. Plus we like the black interior.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

@AmJaxineer we waited 16 months from the time we decided to buy a Ford to delivery. Actually had 3 orders at one point. 😉

[@zekefreak333]

So does it come as a 2024 after a year or does it stay a 2023?
