Steve, Thank you for you're speedy reply to my question below. I suspected that would be the answer but knowing that using only the tow/haul mode will undoubtedly cause me to use more diesel, I'd much rather do that than have to deal with overworking the transmission and causing damage due to abuse and it not being covered on my warrantee. And, FYI, I do always use the lower gears going down hills & mountains although I've noticed that the truck itself sometimes takes over itself and downshifts itself when it apparently knows it needs to be used. Again, Thank you Steve...you've been a great help! Scott
You're welcome, anytime! It sounded like you knew exactly what to do just wanted to make sure. Unfortunate that you'll use a bit more diesel but comes with the territory when towing heavy. The truck brain is pretty smart when towing, so it's good to know you're actively paying attention to that as it shifts! Enjoy the drives this year
I say this being completely serious - have you considered approaching the major manufacturers offering to make a start to finish video on how to set up and program a new vehicle for new owners? This video has 50 to 60 times more info than my sales guy gave me and has been great at tuning some set up stuff. Well done in both the delivery & clarity of information and thoroughness of each menu. Also, I commend you for inserting bookmarks and descriptions in your video.
Wow Xander, really appreciate that! I was thinking that last spring but took this past year to refine, slow down and work on crafting the videos a bit different. I think your comment was the kick I needed to revisit that idea! Good to hear that people like the bookmarks and that description info
Man.. those ones are really tough to come by. If one ever does pop up I'll make sure to shoot a video on it. Still haven't had a chance to see a 2023 in person yet lol
@@CarsWithSteve I just bought a new 2022 F-350 super cab with the 7.3. It has the small screen and regular sync. I’m not a high tech guy and I get easily overwhelmed with that level tech lol
Hmm.. well the Sync screen functions pretty much the same across the Ford lineup. Check out this one on the Escape I did a few years back. It'll at least show you how to setup a phone and navigate through the screen: ua-cam.com/video/7ESARozIVXM/v-deo.html
I have the 2022 F250 Super Duty Crew Cab, Lariat with the shorter bed. I have a 5th wheel Travel Trailer and have had a sliding 5th wheel hitch installed in the bed of the truck. My question is, that when I hook up and want tow the the 5th wheel, which option for towing gears do I select? On the dash, there is a trailer icon with all the settings that you already went over in this video, but also on the gear selector, the button on the end gives me an option, when pushing the button and scrolling, to go to an icon that looks like a trailer (just like the one on the dash). It is just next to the "Economy" setting (which I use all the time when not towing). Question...when towing my 5th wheel, do I select the icon with the button on the gear selector that has the trailer and do I just stay on that icon setting? I've been told never to tow in the overdrive selection so I don't over heat the transmission. Can you pleeeez enlighten me as to the proper towing settings that I should use whether I am traveling through the mountains or just on flat ground? Any and all assistance on this towing subject would be greatly appreciated! Scott
Hey Scott! When towing pretty much anything the Tow/Haul mode is the best bet in order to eliminate excessive transmission shifting and improve transmission cooling. Be sure to switch to lower gear when driving down steep hills and don't continuously apply the brakes too!
@@CarsWithSteve Hey again Steve, I have another question about tires on my 2020 Solitude 310GK that I bought 4 months ago (1 prior owner). I put new tires on it, MAXXIS ST235/80R16 Load Range G, 758KPA/110PSI. Everything I've read in RV Magazine, researched on the internet, including tire forums, etc., say that all RV tires should be aired up to what the "Cold" temp that is on the tire. That means to me that I need to keep them @ 110psi Cold. Everything I've read says that an under inflated tire will wear out quicker than a properly inflated one, which makes sense to me. I also have the EEZTire TPMS system on the tires with the monitor on the windshield. Now, it says to set the system a certain percentage above the COLD PSI, which I calculated to be 130PSI as a Max and I set the LOW alarm @ 90PSI. It also monitors the tire Temperatures. If I get a slow leak, and it gets below the minimum, an alarm goes off, if it starts losing pressure quickly an alarm also goes off. If it gets to the Max of 130PSI, an alarm goes off. I suspect that during warm & hot Summer towing, the tires will get very hot due to the road temp & outside temp as well as the PSI to go to or beyond the 130 PSI max. We take our 1st long trip in a couple weeks and I suspect that if the PSI gets too high, that I'll have to stop & let air out of the tires to keep the PSI down within reason and the 130 alarm setting. What about when I get to where I'm going and the next morning when I check the tires PSI and they read as being too low, do I go and add air back to them to keep them from being under inflated? This will seem to be a constant thing that may go on & on every trip I make. I don't want to wear out these very expensive, under inflated tires due to not having enough air in them but I also wonder what it'll be like spending a lot of time messing with the tires rather than Glamping like we intended to do to start with. Am I being too cautious or am I being reasonable about this approach? Also, what is a good rule of thumb for the maximum Temperature in my tires? Thank you in advance for any advice you may have to offer! Scott
Great video and super helpful as I am looking to order an F250 of my own in the next couple of weeks. Can't decide between XLT with XLT Premium package or a Lariat with Standard equipment. Other than SYNC 4 and Leather seats, any other major differences?
Thanks Antonio! You've highlighted the main differences but just a few smaller ones the Lariat will also have a 10 speaker B&O sound system, slightly different wheels and a few other aesthetic changes
Great video! I ordered a 2022 Lariat f250 crew which I loaded with nearly every option.Can You tell me why you can’t get the power drop down running boards or the rear seat heater with the six seater(40-20-40 front seat) configuration.The running boards are a $1k option when you order but are $2k to add aftermarket and I don’t believe the aftermarket version syncs up as nicely as the factory boards in regards to optional settings through SYNC.I wish Ford would offer the ventilated seats front and rear as this was a major reason why I didn’t purchase a GMC or Chevrolet.These seats are a god send for people living in areas with 95 plus temps for a good portion of the year! Thanks again for an informative video.
Thanks John! The power deployable boards need a few other packages in the Lariat and cannot be added if you've gone for a few others. You need the Lariat Ultimate or Lariat Value Pack but you can't get them added in if you have certain interiors or any of the Chrome/Black/Sport Appearance Packages. The lack of heated 2nd row seats is because of the bench seat in the 1st row. The switches for heated 2nd would be behind the console which is why you can't get it with the 1st row bench. It's odd for sure but it's like that for a few different Ford vehicles
I am very interested in seeing your upcoming payload video. I spent weeks trying to gain confidence in the payload my 2022 F350 CCLB Platinum order will have. The only options I added were the 5th wheel prep and retractable tonneau cover which I know are about 100 lbs each. Regardless, I'm still not confident what the payload sticker will say to within +/- 300 lbs which is meaningful. At this point, I am assuming it will be right at 4,000 lbs based on the 12,400 GVWR of the truck. Any idea when your payload video will be posted? Thanks for your detailed reviews.
When do you plan on uploading the video for super duty pay load? I’m looking to buy a f350 and need a break down of how Engines and optional equipment can decrease your payload capacity.
Should be ready by the beginning of March. The optional equipment weight is all over the place. For a rough idea - I find that the true payload of the truck is in the 80 - 85% range of the stated max payload in the Ford guides
im seriously looking at one of the 7.3 trucks to replace my worn out 20 year old dodge as its the same tow rating and mileage which is fine for what i do
It would be worth looking into trading that old truck in right now. Used truck prices are through the roof! Go for a factory order - might take 4 - 6 months but you get exactly what you want and can lock in a trade in value as well
Thanks Jeff! Height difference between the two styles isn’t far off but the overall height is going to depend on the build of the truck. I’ll make sure to add in the running board height in future videos
I've got the 2022 F-350 Lariat that came with the quad beam LED light package, but, that's because I ordered it that way. Almost 5 months after the truck was ordered it finally arrived at the dealer (12/24/21), the new truck replaced my 2016 F-350 King Ranch DRW. Both trucks are 4x4's with the FX4 package, 8' bed, 6.7L PS, crew cab. What I would like to see is a video that shows how to remove the drivers side battery tray to get to the upfitter switch wiring and a how to remove the grill to replace the weak factory LED headlight bulbs.
Great built and wow that's a big truck! Towing a toy trailer with it? Great idea for a future video. I'll have to ask around to see if I can catch the wiring of accessories being done
How do you engage the various 4WDs? I know there's a nob, but in the past 4WD vehicles I've had, there have been slight differences when engaging them. How does it work on the 2022 SuperDuty?
@@CarsWithSteve I’m 5’4” and I’m not sure if I’ll need adjustable pedals. I’ve driven f250 before and it didn’t seem like an issue. What do you think I should do?
@@irishpotato8816 The adjustable pedals are always nice for added comfort but if you've been in a 250 without issue before the 2022 would be no different
Excellent review! Kind of blows that we're on our way to $9/gal diesel, and Ford can't put a lockable fuel door on a $90K+ truck. Nice work boys... SMH
Appreciate that! So true about the cost of fuel. I've always found the locking door useless, it's easy enough to pry open. The gas cover lock is a better deterrent but I don't know of any manufacturer that offers that as a factory ordered option
A lot of them are being built with the adaptive so there's no easy way to streamline that with a one button. Haven't been in Toyota trucks yet but with my experience on this set up.. it takes once or twice to learn it and then good to go
There are some good looking aftermarket ones they have! It would be kind of neat for the factory to offer a wider range of rim/tire choices and then order in as needed - logistical pain but it would be nice to offer
I’d take those numbers with a grain of salt. In 2021 the F series trucks outsold Chevy by 30% and nation wide reports for most stolen look at every model year, not just the previous years model. So if Ford is outselling Chevy 30% yoy there are literally millions more Ford trucks on the road. Different articles on a few news sites say in the US last year there were about 41,000 Chevy trucks stolen and 44,000 Ford pickups. So technically Ford is winning the race. Ford outsells Chevy by 30% and is only stolen 7.5% more. I’d take those odds.
I ordered a Super Duty and am canceling the order, not worth the wait. Hopefully Ford will learn something if everyone cancels their orders! They’re terrible at keeping customers informed on the process, seems like they really don’t care. I’ll take my $80K elsewhere.
The chip shortage is something out of their hands. Lack of inventory is affecting every brand and probably won’t balance out for at least another year. Definitely agree that the communication should be more open though. Ford had a build tracking system that was viewable by consumers for the Bronco but it’s not available anymore
Without a doubt, this is the most in depth SuperDuty video on the internet, mentioning quirks and features I did not even know existed. Great Video!
Would definitely enjoy to see the dimension comparison, interior/bed/length/height/etc, between a SuperDuty and a HD Ram.
Thank you! Haha always good when people catch some of the quirks of the truck
Local dealerships have a few Ram 2500’s incoming so I’ll make sure to add a compare between the two to the list. Thanks for the suggestion!
If you're buying a truck for business, this is one of the best videos out there.
Thanks Jaz, appreciate that! 🙏

Wonder if the Ford F-250/350 still takes the prize when it comes to the most frequently stolen vehicle in the U.S.?

The chip shortage is something out of their hands. Lack of inventory is affecting every brand and probably won’t balance out for at least another year.
Definitely agree that the communication should be more open though. Ford had a build tracking system that was viewable by consumers for the Bronco but it’s not available anymore
