Worth upgrading your 20-22 to a 2024 Ford superduty?

[@michaelch5060]

Just picked up my F250 2024 Lariat Ultimate, my 3rd Super Duty, it's the best driving and the most powerful truck I've ever owned.

[@americandream_89]

Fully agree

[@SliderFury1]

Same, only mine's a 350. It's actually crazy how well it drives/rides for how massive and powerful it is. I thought I'd be taking a HUGE downgrade in ride quality/driveability going from a Ram 1500 to this but it's really not that big of a difference. Lot of high tech engineering went into making these behemoths this comfortable and that's a lot of where the big ass price tag is coming from.

[@johnstuardo4895]

In my opinion the 2022 lariat black appearance is a better looking truck , came with a nice LED projector headlights, personally the 2024 front end I don’t like , also led proyector headlights only came in the platinum package 24 models 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[@americandream_89]

I do dislike that you can no longer get the LED projector in anything below a platinum

[@mojo4376]

The 2020-2022 is a much better looking truck….just sayin

[@LWRC]

The front end of the 2022 look much better. The 2024 with the chrome tabs on the grill do nothing - just for looks and it looks bad! In addition, the analog gauges in the 2022 is hands down 1000% better than the bar graph clown gauges in the 2024!!!

[@coreym5072]

We all need to go on strike and not buy any vehicles for a year

[@americandream_89]

I’ll do you one better. I won’t buy one for 2 years……😂

[@v2k530]

I personally like both trucks, I can’t afford either one but I think the reasons some people may hang on or buy a used 2020-22 super duty is from a value standpoint. The people who own it already may see no need in upgrading as it’s already enough for them and people may buy it used to save a lot more money especially if they can get it with a good interest rate. And If I had to pick I’d go for a older good condition used super duty.

[@americandream_89]

I understand that. Buying a good used one is smart and loses less value.

[@mojo4376]

Uhhhhhh….they are not adaptive headlights….

[@americandream_89]

[@98durangopack]

Good looking ride man. Still a sucker foe the 20-22 front end. Only thing about the new interior I'm not a fan of is the full digital cluster. Maby it's my age but I like the analog as well. Thought the 20-22 made a good combo with digital/analog combo. Also can't believe the price jump. Same truck almost 8-10k more now.

[@americandream_89]

You’re not the only one I’ve seen a ton of people say this. The prices have went way up for sure, but they do offer a much nicer feature set on 23 and above as in pro power on board, nicer interior, more power etc. my 2020 King Ranch was 85,000 sticker a similar one is about 90. To me, it’s worth the pricing increase, but I know that subjective and fully understand. The price of trucks are crazy.

[@JS-zb1vv]

The analog look . It’s more than likely a wire hooked to it anyway instead of the little gears. Everything is digital operated I bet

[@cesarcastillo9561]

23-24 is a whole different truck down to the sound system

[@LWRC]

Do you recommend the factory spray bedliner or do aftermarket? There's been reported peeling problems with the Ford spray liner and it is thinner than aftermarket. Can't say if that's true or not.

[@americandream_89]

Honestly, I think for the money you couldn’t beat the factory liner. I absolutely love it. I use mine about as hard-core. as anyone could and have had zero issues. And it’s in the factory Ford warranty.

[@thehawkguy]

Next time get the limited and put the Carli pintop 3.5” king shock kit. Poops on the tremor. Check the KZbin’s.

[@americandream_89]

@@thehawkguy true but it’s a ton more to get that and get it installed. Then you still need the front bumper valance, axle tubes, locking hubs etc I’ve already had one truck with a Carli system it takes a ton of money to make them tow like factory trucks. My truck just isn’t a pavement princess. I tow with it all the time

[@Tropicalfrooploops]

The type of driving matters a lot with fuel economy. I’ve seen where I’ll get 18mpg in my old truck on the highway, and in the city driving from site to site, I’ll get 9.5mpg Same with tire pressure, windows up or down, cruise control or not. Lots of things

[@americandream_89]

I’m going to do more testing once the 24 gets broke in.

[@joebootow8991]

Mine shipped 8 days ago. Great video

[@americandream_89]

Congrats

[@Sp_Tremor6.7ho]

They have the same size fuel tank i also get 21 to 22 mpg in my tremor ho.

[@americandream_89]

I did a trip to Louisville that I do about 9-10 times a year and averaged 17.6. With my 2020 I would get 20.5-21 every time. Once it’s broke in I’ll do numbers again.

[@DouseAHouse]

I’m on my 5th Super Duty.Ive had 2012,2016,2017,2021 and now a 2024.The 24 is by far my favorite.Rides great has plenty of power and the interior is amazing.I have a Lariat Ultimate with every option except sunroof,just the way I wanted it.

[@bschannel2255]

Personally the manual mode was a great upgrade on 2023+. 1st it allows you in automatic mode set a “do not shift above gear”. Say your heavy and you don’t want to haul in 10th you can push it down to 9 and will stay in 1-9 range. Now let’s say your driving around in 7th and you want to down shift but tranny is set at 10. You have to push down 4 times to get to 6th gear. You push manual mode it takes you down a gear automatically then you can go to 5th and 4th if needed. You get more options on how you want to operate your transmission. Towing a heavy gooseneck a lot I love the new change.

[@user-id8ng9eq9h]

Just sold my 2017 that I had for 7 years. Think I’m going to give GMC a try this time. Loved the truck despite; the sunroof breaking 4x, running boards constantly malfunctioning., dpf sensors needing to be replaced, upper oil pan leaks and seat heaters failing, Want the highway comfort of ifs

[@americandream_89]

GMC makes a great looking truck. You will hate the seats though.

[@topshelfdp]

[@jethrobodine011]

[@johndoeferson1746]

I thought 2023 didn't have massaging seats? Beautiful truck. Wish I could get a Tremor with a standard 8ft bed.

[@americandream_89]

In 2023 almost everything but a limited list massaging seats. Mine is a 2024 platinum and my other truck is a 2020 king ranch. A long bed tremor would be sweet. You can always do a long bed and add a level suspension kit

[@gangsta45ism]

Hopefully, they fixed the death wobble issue. I traded my 2019 F250 and still like the look of it but that was a major flaw for me. Why should I have to fix the issue by spending more mo ey when I spent big money for the platinum version. I'm not knocking the truck but just telling the truth.

[@americandream_89]

I’ve seen many Ford owners with this issue on the forums. I’ve owned three of these trucks and never had that issue so it’s not something I’ve dealt with personally. But from my understanding, the cause is usually from a loose part or bolt in the front end, letting something slightly shift

[@CONTINGENSEA]

Hey Drake. Great channel. Not sure if you’ve had a painted bumper truck before but I just came out of my 2019 F250 Platinum and one of the first things I did to my new Platinum Tremor was PPF to the front bumper. I strongly recommend it.

[@americandream_89]

Thanks for the feedback. My king ranch was actually my first non painted truck bumper. I feel you on the truck chips. What did that cost you?

[@The2001cobra]

Body style for me on the new ones are worse. I have a 2021 and I bought it because I saw the pictures of the 2023s coming out. Interior yeah I agree the 2023+. But that exterior its rounded off and those tail lights are goofy they stick out a mile and all the side bed steps just scream for kids to climb up on thats the biggest reason I stayed away. The fronts of the 2023+ are rounded and the rears with those tail lights are squared off and stick out too far the truck doesnt flow im sure they will fix it in the future like a 17 too a 22

[@americandream_89]

Thanks for the input. I’m a Hugh fan of the steps myself but I know many dislike.

[@LWRC]

You mentioned you can't get LED projector headlights in the 2024 and yet, you did! How did that work??!!!

[@americandream_89]

Mines a platinum they are standard. King ranch and down have reflector LED bulbs. the 2020 on the right side of the video has projectors also but they were standard on the king ranch that year

[@LWRC]

@@americandream_89 Thanks for the reply. For as much as Ford charges, the LED projectors should be standard. Not sure how long you will keep the 2022 but it would be interesting to see a headlight beam comparison of the light pattern projected on to a flat wall at 20ft. between the two trucks. Theoretically, they should be the same!

[@gregficek8489]

Yes, I've got a 2022 Ram 3500 CTD. It's been a good truck so far and I have been a Mopar supporter for many years. Never thought I'd consider a Ford, but they do have a ton of options that I like. Just trying to decide if it's worth it.

[@americandream_89]

@@gregficek8489 sounds like we have common ground. I’d highly recommend testingone out. The first thing you will notice is front end visibility. Then you will feel the insane power difference and it hooks 90% of people right there. I’ll tell more in my video but it never hurts to test drive one

[@dirtnakedfarms]

I like the honesty. I thought my 2020 before I put the flatbed on was super quick. Even quicker than my '23 KR. Cheers!

[@americandream_89]

I’m with you on that. Once broke in I’m going to run some draggy times. But I’m like you my 2020 pulls hard especially from 25 up when it can let the power out and not torque manage.
