- People said the truck couldn’t handle it day in and day out, they said it was unsafe. Well they were wrong! This thing is a straight up beast!!!! Virtually issue free and it is worked to the max everyday!

First comment from Québec,

Keep them coming!
Beautiful truck!!! Awesome rig :)
My 2019 f550 now has 34k on it and it towes every day. So far it’s been great. You are so right you have got to stay up on service. Very informative Tyson nice video 👍🏻
Do you for Commercial use or non-commercial personal use?
@@christopherfoulk9931 commercial use.
My favorite truck out of your fleet!
i tow kx-057 with my f550 daily no problems at all either 2017 6.7 4.88 gears great truck
Just wanted to tell you
You inspired me ,to start a hauling business starting out with a F150 5.4 07 and a trailer it’s been going good so far. I put air bags in it and bigger leaf’s springs, works great, thanks for your inspiration.
Its great seeing 550 again 👍
Great vid bruh!
F550 is a beast
I have a gas 2018 f550 w 16 ft box w 14,500 lbs , great truck no brake downs , just have to replace tires ,I would totally recommend it.
Hey Tyson. If you’re doing reviews on stuff in the yard I’d love to hear ab your Bwise Tilt bed. Thinking ab getting the same model. I enjoy your videos. Thanks man.
Thistledown Farm can do I’ll
Just throw it into a video.’
What engine oil & filter and what trans fluid do y'all use? Thanks for the wonderful video with no goofy music!
The beast the 550
Just purchased a 2020 f550 bucket truck. It’s currently being shipped from Oklahoma too Los Angeles. I hope it puts out!
I think you will be happy!
The XLT is my favorite trim level
Great rig... I've had quite a few xlts... you are right about the seats....my lariat has much better seats...you might have a bit better luck finding those...good luck.
The 550 MONEY MAKER!!!
Nice work horse truck
I very much appreciate the video. I have the same truck, a 2017 F-550, 6.7 diesel, crew cab, except mine has a dump bed, with one of the longer wheel bases. Mine does have 4WD, and a gooseneck hitch. I cannot tell if yours is 4WD. I want to tow an excavator the same size as yours, except with steel tracks and road liners, a Komatsu PC88-11, weighing 19,200 lbs., plus the trailer weighing about 10,000 lbs. My truck, with its dump bed set-up, empty, weighs 12,400 to 12,500 lbs. with me in it, which is probably slightly heavier than yours because of the dump bed. I have been very concerned that towing that heavy will be slightly overloading the truck, which has a GCWR of 40,000 lbs. Basically, if I pull my truck/trailer combo onto a scale, empty, I'm grossing over 21,000 lbs. I know that the PC88-11 is going to put it in excess of 40,000 lbs. I definitely would like to be very confident that I can tow that heavy, safely, with good stability, very effective stopping ability, etc. If you, or anyone else reading this has any feedback to assure me it is adequate for so much weight, or feedback from personal experience with the same set-up, towing that heavy, I'll very much appreciate it. I like my 2017 F-550, but am having trouble feeling confident that towing that heavy with it will be safe. At 54 years of age, I don't like taking the risk of something bad happening.
Does your chassis cab f550 have the same engine brakes as your f450? I was under impression that the detuned chassis cab engine lacked the engine brakes, and has a smaller turbo?
U should do a coolant flush even though the Manuel says to do it let’s say every 100 k miles u should do it before like every 50k miles to check the cooling system as clean as possible
I own a 2013 f450 with 4:88 gears 4wd with a manual shift NOT electric my bed is a 12ft bed my truck was built in Canada bought it with 61,000 miles after 3 yrs I hm just turning 87,000 miles...My truck is a tow beast I also have to Derringer i-dast throttle monster having major issues with banks there good with the issues because there having some ford program issues,I Do have 2 tanks stock 38 gallons and a rear 70 gallons,I don't have exhaust brake and the powerstrokes engine brake such compared to Cummins LOL I love my truck and iv only had def heater issues LOL I'm in AZ doesn't get that cold my truck was ordered with an electric locker in the front,I do hate the derated side here in AZ I can get my truck flashed to a F350 ecm to bring all the 400/800 but I like my tow beast all I tow is my sxs on the bed and my small 22ft weekend warrior bumper pull
Great Videos 👍👍👍👍
Brad McManis yeah in order to really bring this to life it needs tuning, turbo and new fuel pump.
I think another F550 would be great for your fleet!
Nice!!
Hello there wondering how long is your flat bed?? Thank you if you can answer me
Thanks for the video. Been wondering how the Derringer was doing. Do you have a link for the upgrades you have done?
Dane Wunderlich I will add in description tomorrow
Is that a tuner you got on the F-550?
Dam!
Do you have the high capacity trailer tow package? Thanks. -2014 f350 CC owner
So I was looking into a f-550 the gvwr is 19,500 I have a cdl class a no problem but if my wife needed to drive it could she her class C rated at 26,000- truck 10,000- trailer could she drive it as long as camper under 10,000 and no load in the bed non-commercial personal use only? Thanks
I bought a 2018 xlt and put 10,000 miles on it before I couldn't take those horrible seats... traded it in on an upgraded 2019 with the 10-way adjustable seats. I have never driven in a more uncomfortable seat than stock xlt seats. They were SO BAD, it was worth it to take a loss on the 2018
Hahaha I feel your pain
Agreed!
Mine has a 7.3
Is this truck a diesel or gasoline?
Nice indeed! -- QUESTION -- Can you goose neck tow with an F550 dump truck, or are they only a dump truck?
You can make a hatch for the ball
How do you check transmission fluid or do a transmission fluid service if it doesn't have a dipstick on it
Spencer Elsbury there’s a dipstick. I didn’t drop the pan and clean I just used drain plug to drain fluid.
Its awesome when you see a 13L pull 140k for 1 million km
@ workplaytv what kind of gears do u have
Temo Castilla 4.88
Sounds like a good , dull , boring Hotshot cross country truck !
How does the mpg compare to the F350 ?
Are the 2020 also down rate on power ?
Well you really can’t compare the 550 long wheel base cab and chassis to a srw f350. Yea they are all derated to meet clean idle emissions.
I guess I should have asked , how would it compare with my F350 full cab with an 11ft flatbed .
Richard Duke Gear ratio would be the big difference. But the 550 has bigger everything so adding weight to it. Your 350 would be easier
U have any problems with the tires? I have 30k miles and tires are almost rounded off.
On the continentals?
Since you have this in NS, how bad is the rust 5 years in now?
There is none
@@workplaytv that's pretty good, does it see much winter operation?
Well Tyson, Bauer must be mad as hell you didn't mention his truck
Stephen Bradley Lol I’ll do an update video on it
@@workplaytv He's 1 now and should be sleeping straight through the night.... And WHY are you up at 1am on a work night?
Stephen Bradley well it’s actually 3 am here right now and I was getting him back to sleep. Lol
@@workplaytv 3?
I damn Hope must have changed the time back already. Bloody girls. 🏴
If you were to place another toolbox next to the existing. Will your trailer hit or swing on top of the toolbox?
It would be too close for my liking
Canadian accents lol
Aren't F550 trucks limited to XLT? The local dealer where I live in Western Canada has a used F550 just like yours for sale 57,000kms been there for almost a year. A crew cab 550 isn't desirable option, the local HD mechanics would have bought the truck in a heart beat if it was a regular cab and stick a 12 foot service body on it.
Graveltrucking Yeah for sure. In my case it was perfect. They are but I think ford will soon change that. The Ram 5500 goes all the way up to the Limited.
You can get an F550 Lariat, they are not very common because Lariats are typically daily’s and not many people want to daily an F550. It does exist though.
@@americantrucknation4891 owner operator tow truck most likely
@@Graveltrucking yeah, or nice hotshot rig.
@@workplaytv I think Ford is sticking with Lariat being the top, after Lariat there are more luxury items added on the exterior and such, I don’t think Fiat sells too many 5500 Limiteds
Class B CDL? Or A?
Here in Nova Scotia I have class 3 with condition 15
In my state a truck over 26,001class b by itself with trailer over 10,000 class a commercial use not sure about non
@@christopherfoulk9931 I’m about to obtain an class A CDL in a month
Should be a 2:00 video.
Thanks for the tip

You can literally buy a semi for cheaper weird people even buy these
A semi may sometimes be cheaper to purchase but is going to be much more expensive in the long run. Worse fuel economy, higher registration/taxes, much more expensive maintenance, etc. Unless you need a semi a cab chassis makes more sense, not to mention that a 550 will fit in so many areas that a semi can't, and many 550s have 4x4, which is uncommon on semis. A 550 also doesn't require a cdl in the U.S unless you're towing a trailer above 10,000lbs, but even then DOT isn't looking at you nearly as hard as they would be at a semi.
