Thank god your finally doing a NEW Truck review!
We’re all so tired of COLD STARTS and HIGH REVING through TUNNELS!
3:43 *mikes press and hold*
Mike’s wife: how the hell did my truck just randomly start?
🤣
Lool
How much does the app charge per year?
@@MrStaybrown it’s free
Love your channel. I'm disabled and bbn I'm a shut-in I only get out once every 4 to 6 week when they transport me to the doctor. Watching your uploads really gives me a chance to escape my life and live through you and you ability to communicate to me and everyone who watches. Thank you so much for being a hero to me. I live in a small town in Illinois "Tremont". I love your new merchandise. Will your hats ever go on sale I live on a fixed income and I'm saving to buy one but it's going to take a long while. Take care and Lord bless you and your family.
Send this man a hat!
C’mom Kenneth. Send this man a hat!
Drove one..liked it and ordered a 7.3 Lariat with the Sport Package. My 15 6.7 Powerstroke has been perfect but gas is less costly and the dealer let me tow my Bobcat which is just under 15k pounds.... No problems at all. The Godzilla is Impressive to say the least.
Old school American V8 truck is back
limpunsing22 Indeed. Now hear this: ua-cam.com/video/rmfEApPMobU/v-deo.html
Ford builds awesome engines. I watched a video of an old 351 out of *I believe* '69 F-150, but I could be wrong on the year. However they ran it "Boosted" up to around 1,050 H.P. before they killed it. 1,050 fucken ponies out of an old 351 pick-up truck engine. The 4.6's are like that as well, so I imagine with a 'this and that', "Godzilla" could...probably make it to 1,300 H.P. (although it doesn't need to, but every American V-8 Ford fan tests everything out. My goodness, give these Fords respect Chevy guys, I'm telling ya, they are badass.
@@gen-x-zeke8446 Only time will tell, let's see.
@@samduran5180 Of course. But everything is made to break otherwise there wouldn't be any mechanics or technicians. If people brushed their teeth, there wouldn't be any dentists. But, I do believe these engines will be just fine for a long time.
@@gen-x-zeke8446 They do have cam phasers which I'm afraid is a weak point.
09:37 .... you're all very welcome!! I could listen to that engine all day!!
With an exhaust, even more beautiful.
stock sounds even better live...
@@altonkriel Now hear this brother! ua-cam.com/video/rmfEApPMobU/v-deo.html
I like these videos more than the exotic car videos. Nice one! I think if I were to have the need for a HD truck Id really consider this gas over a diesel. Not just for the lower up front cost but the maintenance costs over its life. I know what an entire new catalytic converter DPF exhaust section costs on one of the new power strokes. Had one stolen off one of our trucks at work, after the replacement parts and labor at the dealer it topped $10k I'm sure it was an insurance/theft type thing but wow!
klc317 lol should’ve just deleted it at that point and saved 8k
It actually is a 6 bolt main, 4 from the top of the caps and 2 that go in the side through the block for a total of 6 per main cap.
The best thing about that 7.3 is that it’s a pushrod engine.
The worst thing about the 7.3 is that it has a cam phazer.
@@garnetcampbell4389 what does that mean
Pushrods are not what you should consider to be the 'best' part of an engine.
I understand where you are coming from, I think. I love that Ford went with a pushrod engine, but there are certainly more options they could have gone with. Cost is the number 1 reason they went pushrod.
@@bekabeka71 Cam phasers allow the ECM to adjust cam timing depending on engine requirements to be more efficient or powerful. Think VTEC. It sound great in theory but the cam phasers in the Ford 3 valve modular engines were notorious for failing and causing a loud clicking noise at idle and engine codes. Restricted oil galleries in the engine block that feed the cam phasers were found to be why they failed and the only repair was to replace the whole engine assembly. Ford engineers may have learned from that and have made sure that wont happen with the 7.3 but time will tell. I own a 2003 F250 ext cab, 8' box 4X4 with a 5.4 2 valve that doesn't have cam phasers. It is a half ton engine in a super duty so I replaced replace the cams for more torque and HP, electric fan conversion and more efficient Y-Pipe. I get 15 to 17 mpg with truck if I don't speed.
@@charlieodom9107 pushrod engines are superior when it comes to low end torque.
Amazing engine in an amazing truck
Hopefully more people will realize it’s a work truck engine, and that is how Ford designed it
Made for very long life and big low end and mid range torque, not high horsepower redline pulls or fast quarter mile times
I’m sure it can be made into a performance engine with very little work, as the block, crank, valve train, etc is extremely stout
But out of the dealership floor it’s a work truck engine made for work
Does what it was designed to do perfectly
(Seem some people’s complaining that the HP of this engine isn’t higher, and those people don’t seem to understand the difference between in a work truck engine vs and performance engine)
The reason the HP is only 430 is so in the next years to come, they can easily increase that to stay on top of GM and Dodge. It's how the game is played.
Aaron Hainan I agree 100%. As a fleet mechanic who gets to purchase the trucks for his place of employment I have not been able to even consider Ford trucks due to the Triton OHC based engines. Our trucks run all all day long ,and idle a lot with emergency
Ights and radios needing to stay on all day. I wouldn’t consider a modern diesel for our application, first off they are way too expensive,they have way too much power for my guys and the emissions system would be a huge problem with all the idling.This Ford V-8 is meant for work. I have been buying GM three-quarter and 1 ton trucks with 6.0 L V8 these engines are absolutely rock solid. Now GM has went to a 6.6 L version however they are now using direct injection which I am not happy about. I now I have the option of a Ford again and this big block uses his port injectors only. I’m so tired of hearing about how people are disappointed in the power it makes as if this was a performance engine I could care less about a performance application for this engine I am very excited about the potential longevity of it and it’s long-term durability.
John DiMartino oh yeah I agree 100% about the direct vs port injection
Might get a few extra horsepower with the direct but it also runs into carbon build up issues on the valves where the port injection doesn’t (well eventually the port injection will need a little cleaning too but that is well after 100k miles)
John DiMartino and don’t even get me started on the 3 valve 5.4 lol
The 2 valve ones were ok
And the 4.6 was fine
But that 3 valve 5.4...
It’s like a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde lol
Great engine...for about a year or two
Then turns into a monster that constantly rapes your wallet lol 💰
brussell639 yeah they all try to one up each other year to year
What I mean is there are some complaining this doesn’t make 550-600+ horsepower
It’s not made to be a performance engine
It’s made to be a work truck engine
To be used hard, run at wide open throttle for long periods of time, and last for years and years in those conditions
It wouldn’t hold up if tuned to make a lot more horsepower
(And if anyone doubts the power of it go watch the newest TFL Truck video when they compare the new 7.3 to GMs new 6.6 gas while pulling a trailer up Eisenhower pass.
The 7.3 pulled it up over 3 minutes faster than the GM
I knew this new 7.3 was good but holy shit it absolutely destroys the other gas engines available and didn’t even break a sweat!)
with all that you have tested, driven and reviewed, I must say the look on your face at 9:45 told me all I needed to know. Thanks for info. I very interested in one of these, ima diesel guy and tired of the maintenance.
Idk if truck people have diesel haters, most of us love them. The problem is they have a $6000 mark up, the modern emissions and tech make them expensive to maintain which causes more issues and chokes performance, and with diesel costing more than regular gas, it makes sense why someone would choose a gas burner.
A single cab 4x4 with that engine would be cool
Agreed,I had a 96' 350 reg cab 4x4 with a 460 and 4:10s with a snowplow prep on super swamper sx 36" and man do I miss it,had to sell it because of family life and such.I think about it all the time.
Polar Bear you had a gem
With the 4.30 gears on 37s😊
Hd trucks are always cooler in regular cab.
Don't worry Ford makes them that way.
Hey Mike, I remember that video when you were talking about buying a Tremor. I've had mine for just over a month now and its absolutely great. I ordered mine as a lariat sport tremor with the 6.7 and most other options (except for moonroof and power running boards).
The 6.7 is a powerhouse, the truck just blows off the tires. I've pulled a couple of relatively light trailers, My raptor can definitely feel them but the Tremor doesn't even know that its there.
Living with the size of the truck is the worst part though. Getting in is definitely more of a chore compared to the raptor (not wife friendly). Parking is definitely a pain though, in some areas the truck is too long to turn anywhere and curb jumping is a must. It will not fit in any parking garage too (it is a little over 80 inches high) Although the camera technology is great and makes driving such a large truck easier. The only good thing I can say about the size is it is quite a bit narrower than a raptor, it is much easier to keep in a lane.
I haven't really taken the truck offroad yet but I can tell it will do just fine. It definitely won't soak up bumps like a raptor though.
So far I have 3 thousand miles on the clock and have had no issues so far. I plan on doing a few mods like leveling it, adding lights and maybe 37s.
If anybody is considering a superduty I would only recommend buying it if you really need the capability of it. Nowadays a half ton gets the job done fine. I don't really need a 3/4 ton but I wanted the Tremor and diesel so I made the sacrifice.
That 14 Raptor Tomorrow I’ll be ordering mine. Sounds like I’ll be at a similar trim to yours. 80 inches is still less than 7 feet. That’s not super limiting. I’ll likely be having a Carli system installed; which would then create a problem with the parking garages definitely. Glad to hear the new iteration of power stroke is a rocket.
@@ziggy149 I've been looking into a Carli system aswell. Remember that f250s got lowered by 1/2" in the front and an 1 1/2 inches in the back. Tremor is raised by 1" in the front and 1.5" in the back. That makes it higher than a 2017-2019 by 1/2 inch all the way around (excluding the larger tires). A Carli 2.5" leveling kit would still have a rake of 1/2". I dont really want a larger lift for the truck, I get in and out of it all day. They are currently looking for 2020 test vehicles. I'll just wait and see what they come up with.
Have fun with that 6.7 when it starts emptying your wallet in a few years regardless of the miles. That 7.3 will be a better engine overall....cheaper to maintain, no stupid aftertreatment emissions system, no turbo. Look at the engine bay of a 6.7 vs 7.3 and it speaks for itself. Simplicity is key.
i think the 7.3L V8 is a direct replacement for the old 6.8L V10
Yes, although the v10 has been out of production for years in the super duty
That 14 Raptor i know but now they use them in the F650 uhaul truck and bluebird vision school buses
@@Datsun7705 you are correct. The 7.3 will be in them, although it will be detuned for longevity
That 14 Raptor no they still have them in the cab and chassis trucks. That’s it.
Yes definitely a replacement for the old V10...... I have a 6.8L V10 in my 2016 F-450 work truck and honestly it’s worthless, it needs to run stupid high RPM to do anything and has zero bottom end.... going back to the old push rod design like GM trucks is a great move in my opinion, can’t wait to try the new 7.3L out when the time comes for me
You can’t get a center shifter on Superduty. Only on F-150.
There's conversions for it now
Eagerly awaiting comp cams to come out with a cam for this engine.
Trying to remember what magazine it was with one of the super charger
Companies that put one on that engine and got 1500 horsepower.
I finally stepped up from a V-10 to a 6.7L Power Stroke a couple of years ago when my towing/hauling needs surpassed the V-10s comfort zone. I considered a 6.2L gas, but decided it wasn't enough of an upgrade over my 99 V-10. The 6.7L is almost overkill. My biggest issue with buying a diesel is the extra $10K admission, extra (spendy) maintenance, and the HUGE repair costs down the road. This new 7.3L with the 10-speed auto and a set of 4.30 gears would have been a near perfect compromise. Being in my mid-50s and the fact I used my V-10 truck for nearly 20 years, my current F-350 could very well be the last big truck I'll ever own... but if I find myself in the market again, this truck has moved to the top of my list. (P.S. The V-10 truck didn't leave the fleet. It is still my go-to truck unless I need to tow a heavy load.)
How heavy would you say the v10 can pull before it becomes asinine?
@@michaellarrick8881 For me the problem was more aerodynamic. I had a 1200 lb overhead camper and towing about a 5000 lb 20' enclosed trailer. Would run down the highway at 65 fine until I hit a headwind. To maintain speed, the V-10 would have to spin over 4k rpm in a lower gear. Just too frenzied to have do for miles on end. My '99 V-10 is lowest hp/torque of the V-10s; Newer would be better. The 6.7 PS loafs with the same load; I think the Godzilla would split the difference and be way more economical (repairs) in the long run.
There’s no console shifter in a Superduty Mike ole buddy. And limited is highest trim.
No your wrong
Danny Roy ??
in the 4x4 you can have it in option!
Danny Roy since when?
@@workplaytv i built one monday night on ford site! option on lariat! 4x4
Those drone shots 10/10. These more normal truck/car videos are my favorite. Keep up the great work.
i read the 7.3 gas is the replacement for the V10
5:39 Bro that's USB type c, Micro usb is 15 years old now >D
LOL!!!! I was wondering why the heck would Ford use micro usb when Mike said that.
Just bought mine yesterday. What a nice truck. 14 mpg out of a bid block is amazing!
Did the mpg get any better
Try key combo: unlock, lock, unlock, lock on the keyfob. I have an 18 f-150, has factory added remote start. Came with an annoying little fob. Was messing around with the remote and that combo works.
I enjoy your reviews more then anyone elses reviews. I have a 99 7.3L. Mines no where near stock but if you end up getting a new 7.3L some day, I'll line up on the track and we can do an old vs new.
If I get another F-250 I will get the 7.3 gasser. My 6.7 diesel is too needy as far as maintenance goes
And to needy for emissions in some states.
David Jamison that too
That’s why you buy a Ram
@@drumer4life21 The emissions crack down evidently is hitting all diesel vehicles.
David Jamison I know it sucks. These diesel trucks don’t contribute that much to the emissions that get put out compared to the oil companies and other companies that dumb tons into the atmosphere.
Been waiting on a video from you!
I mean I still love the 7.3l diesel v8 ford made a long time ago
Dhruv Pahwa oh yeah darn epa
Still have one
International made actually.
Who that knows anything doesn't.?
Apples and oranges here though.
Still have one.... 330,000 miles... still going strong!
You can get remote start on the Lariat, just not on the base Lariat.
Ford always makes some interesting omissions
Just got mine yesterday. My bulletproofed 6.0 is for sale.
Mike great to see u making a review video! Awesome as always!
HELL YES FORD IS THE BEST LOOKING INSIDE AND OUT AND BUILT FORD EXTREMELY TOUGH
nope
Le Chat Botté OHHH YES
You haven’t looked closely at the new RAMS.
@@jlbush8249 RAMs looks like they got a bulk discount on buttons and decided to put them everywhere, why does anyone need 4 different buttons for each function?
A T The Rams ugly but the 2021 F150 is going to destroy the ram by 125%
They need to put this motor in the F-150!
Cycle9568 no way
To big
@@travisarmstrong8253Never
Return of the Lightning!
I like the way you think.
and why not? they put 460cid in the old half tons.
Mate then you gonna offer us 4K videos? I really feel the need for a better resolution.
I bought this truck
12-19 mpg at 95, 11-12 mpg in the city, more powerful than I expected at higher speeds, 16-17 mpg at 60-65.
Which gearing did you go with? Debating a 7.3 to build at dealer right now. Thank you
I love Ford vehicles. Very reliable.
Great for local work, high idle time, and occasional vacations that will screw up todays emissions diesels.
Construction work in general. High idle times especially in a bucket truck or anything with a pto
I'm watching a Ford truck review, youtube keep feeding me a chevy truck ads 😆
Now that was a good video! I really enjoyed that. Reminds me of the older videos with the Fusion. Would like to see more of those.
Great review... there was a day I said I would never own a non diesel truck, but my next truck will be a 7.3. For just towing a boat/rv around FL the benefit of a diesel is diminished by the up front cost (I don’t care about resale), epa/emissions gremlins (reliability long term), def and maintenance costs which when put together outweigh the benefits unless you’re towing heavy loads daily, long distance or up in the mountains.
That’s funny how we’re on opposite ends of the spectrum. I said I’ll never own another “newer” DEF diesel again after nothing but problems with limited miles. My work trucks are 2000-2003 7.3 diesels. My personal trucks were numerous generations of newer diesels for everyday around town and occasional vacation trailer hauling. Waaaaay to many problems with limited driving and costly non warranties repairs. My 7.3 Godzilla pulls better than my 2002 7.3 diesels. I thought I would never say something like that but it is totally true. I live in SoCal and we vacation in the sierras a lot (mammoth Mountain and Yosemite) I rented an f350 with 7.3 gas from enterprise to use as test run before I purchased and it did not disappoint. Streep 6 & 7 % grades wheee my 7.3 diesel maxed at 55 and would slow down from 65 down to 55….the 7.3 gas hits it had with the same load at 65 no problem. Gas mileage is crappy but it’s just when hauling on vacation so it’s a non issue. I purchased a 7.3 Tremor last year and has no problem hauling 12K bumper up to 17,500K with my flatbed and load of hay and 19,000 gooseneck stock trailer with cattle or horses. I’ll be updating my work fleet with these over the next couple of years.
@@timm9114 … agreed, no def diesel seems to be a good rule of thumb.
AutoVlog Great Review I think That 2020 F-250 Super Duty 7.3L V8 sounds and looks awesome
Regular cab, 8 foot bed, 4X4, 7.3L V8, 40/20/40 leather seats, carpet delete.
Hey Mike, you look great in that black cap dude, you should wear it more often!
Mensa Man I agree! It makes him look less bald
@@XanMan1980 Good one! 🥇
The truck is nice... Your video amazing. Do you do the editing? Who ever did. WOW
This engine has already been in the eyes of cars... They already have taken one apart and found what few things to do to get 650hp out the engine
Try 1470 hp and shooting for 1700. This thing is a beast! ua-cam.com/video/bbtPN37LvmU/v-deo.html
That’s a perfect grocery getter! 😍
The f250 as per Ford's website can tow 26,000# as a 5th wheel or a gooseneck trailer setup. The f350 can tow 27,500# SRW 28,000 DRW. With this engine setup.
Finally something other than the supercar crap
Dood! The opening is epic! Nice job there.
SO glad Ford offers a gasoline engine this capable. I see cherry picker utility trucks here in central Oklahoma equipped with the 6.4 HEMI all the time. Those companies don't want the expense and hassle of diesel power. Ford's 7.3 is even mightier. I don't "hate" diesels myself. Their efficiency and power are awesome. However, their higher sticker price and much higher maintenance costs just aren't worth it for many individuals and businesses.
The tremor is just badass
I’d disagree with his statement that there is not much low end torque. I have had mine for 2 weeks. I gave my 2014 f-150 with the 5.0 to my wife as a family vehicle, so I drove both regularly. There is significant amount of torque down low. So much so I have yet to even dip too deep into the throttle before I am at or over the speed limit. And the 10spd is tuned very well to this engine IMO. I have not towed my trailer yet but I can tell just normal driving it will do much much better. I test drove the 6.2 and this is significantly more powerful just from the seat of the pants feel.
Eco mode for a gas truck🤣 yeah its call park it and drive my car
Might be a valuable function for just driving the truck empty.
:IF" it works as it's supposed to.
Um, it's a truck. Eco mode is nothing more than transmission programming to squeeze out a couple miles per gallon if you drive it right. If you put your foot into it there's no eco. On the other hand the best you car can tow is a couple bags of groceries. Apples to oranges I say.
@@chrisneuhaus7188 yeah that’s why it’s great to have both
Mike please trade in the 150 for the tremor and drop a super charger in it
Why am I looking at this truck? It's calling my name!
Granted I do own some land but my f150 has been more than enough.
Just need to add the base security module and that allows you to use the standard key fob to start vehicle by clicking: Lock Unlock Lock. You're welcome
Your editing has become increasingly impressive.
Pittsburgh. Moon Township and thee wooded scenes. Got to love that area.
Awesome rig. Sounds cool too. Better than the vacuumcleaners that pop up. These things are workhorses.
So....about a minute into this review of a Ford truck, I get an ad for Chevy Silverado...and Heinz ketchup. I thought it was humorous...lol. And at the end of this Ford truck review? A Chevy Silverado ad, again, along with a rheumatoid arthritis medication ad. All in all, Heinz had the best ad. 😎
Next videos, i traded in my f150.
Predictable
Just saw this truck go up the ike Gauntlet at18,000 lbs. It did it in 8.42, that’s diesel territory. That is nuts for gasser
I wish these were on sale in the UK 🇬🇧
$250 to fill the tank?
And also, where would you fit this on our roads. I mean in the country lanes, that truck would fill both lanes ?
Vasil Petrov the size of it would make everyone else love out the way 😂
Peter Smith if you own a truck like that you expect it 😂
Not giving a Lariat the LEDs as standard in this day and age is just baffling. Actually LEDs should be standard on all Super Duties, it is a safety issue, but Ford continues to be nickel and diming us.
Paul M the led lights are an upgrade of approximately $1100
Blue tremor with the auto vlog treatment.
I would trade up. An let the 7.3 mods begin.
It's a USB type-c port not a micro USB port
Is that the type for the new apple phones?
Nate Young no, you idiot. That’s called a Lightning connector.
@@nateyoung6331 It's the type that Android phones have used for 5 years.
Good to see a review again. Try and get ahold of an F150 Shelby
You should check out the the F250 tremor package
The video starts like an action movie, I like the beats
When does the snail get added to the 7.3? 10psi ought to increase that hp a few hundred....
With the right configuration and the 7.3l it will tow over 20,000lb, not just 15,000.
I like your videos , I’ve watched you in the past ...Thanks 🇺🇸👍🏻
I like it and it sounds good and even better with mods, 10 speed is ok it helps with mpg. ✌🏽
I am a diesel lover(A gas lover too). There really is no alternative to diesel when it comes to hauling or fuel economy or raw power.
@Phillip Aubin lmfao exactly, fuck the overpriced problematic piece of shit. They should pay you to deal with that heap
I love my 12 valve p pump Cummins 280000 no limp mode on this love it
about time you did a review
You can get remote start on XLT as an option, I did. It is AWESOME with the 4.30 gears and tremor package. Spring for the dual alternators and batteries! Sent
I'm planning to purchase one of these within the next couple of years. I was wondering why the dual batteries and alternators would be necessary or desired?
@@joethetrucker6834 I tow a fifth wheel and we drive out in the boonies. I want to make sure I always have plenty of juice.
You can use the key for to unlock. Read owners manual. Just like the f150s.
I’ve been awaiting this video for months! I have a fetish for these pushrods
All I want to know, and I have not read any comments, if Ford is actually putting this wonderful engine in the raptor. Way overdue, at that!
Strictly Superduty use for now.
Awesome video Mike!
Neglect the electric bill, again, so I can go drive around like I'm 8.
That would be amazing mated to a ZF6.
No thanks.
Really just depends on your needs. If you do not need the added towing ability of the diesel options and you would like the lower maintenance costs associated with a gasoline engine then this engine would be a good option. Seems to me this engine was primarily designed for longevity and lower cost of maintenance. Yes you will get less MPG than the diesel options but then again gasoline is about 30%-40% cheaper than diesel fuel.
I pull over 16000lb everyday on my 2004 f250 v10 , it has 235000 miles still works and doesn't burn oil 😁
I agree on the remote start thing.
Love the SuperDuty
Me too, if you think diesel sucks, the super V8 is for you.
What happened to you getting a tremor??
A 3500$ car payment
@@martymcfly660 $3500!?! Jesus...
@@mitchjruiz That how much he's Ferrari cost per month
Fully agree on the gripe for the remote start! That is just plain crap of Ford's part.
I want one, but the price kill on this days...job market is a mess.
Just to give you a heads up. I just bought one today (02/01/20) and remote start in the XLT is on the remote fob.
what type of fuel mileage are you seeing?
@@Tobinator76 Im seeing pretty damn good. Im averaging 14 city and 18 (if i drive 65) hwy with cruise all on eco mode. Thats also 14 city as a working truck. Hauling, pulling, etc.
@@Tobinator76 However the moment I get a bit happy with the skinny pedal, all thats gone. So realistic 39 yo whose kids are grown-up and a pocket full of diaper money type MPGs... I get 4 in the city and 10ish on the hwy LOL.
Comparatively, my 2012 Silverado 2500 w/6.0l got about the same bad mileage regardless of me trying to save dino juice. I got a record 14mpg idling down a damn mountain. The onstar app always said 11.2mpg.
Best part the Ford is SOOOO much more fun to drive. Set to manual, turn off eco, turn off traction control, and beat the shit outta that skinny pedal. Feel the ass kick out and ride the wave as smoked dinosaur dissipates into the sky! As long as the ol' lady aint watching. Then I get into my "I'm carbon neutral and of course baby to guys are crazy over there in the dunes doing donuts! They could hurt themselves! Geeez..." As my inner child throws a tantrum. :)
She's my gas saver mod. She was one hell of an expensive mod but, like OBDII she works in all vehicles worldwide.
@@llspragulus That pretty good since it havent been broken in yet.
90% of people who buy trucks dont tow
Yep exactly
I tow daily and drive a f150. No need for a heavy duty.
Exactly!!!!
Roblox for life trucks are cool all terrain vehicles with a useful utility bed. Towing is not all a truck was made for
@@MrInzombia ya you can do that with a gas or suv
@@MrInzombia you must be one of the little guys with a big ego so you nees a diesel to not use for anything it was made for
this engine would be fun in a passenger car as well. late 60s had the 7 liter Ford Galagy and that was a awsome car.
Full play ads and all. I would love the F350 lariet Vinyl floors and the Charcoal gray color.
When 4x4 big a petro powered truck does better because the engine is so much lighter. It doesn’t slide into ruts nearly as easy. Plus no new turbo every so often after warranty runs out. And you can gas it up at any station.
Nice watch dude, great truck for hauling or shopping at the local IGA/
Tom boy
Also I got just a XL work truck and it has remote start on the key fob as well.
Whipple are doing one. Nearly production ready
You forgot about limited when talking about trim packages
I’d take the powerstroke all day but this engine is badass no doubt
