Very enjoyable video and great to hear from a real owner on why he purchased one truck over another. I would love to see an owner with a new 3.0L Powerstroke in the future too if possible! :)
I am an owner of the F150 on my 3rd one the last one I had for 20 years and miss it. The F150 even though it can now tow heavier weights it should not be used to do so. I have an F250 6.2 and it out tows my F150 3.5 Ecoboost all day long and is more stable at higher towing speeds. The F150 is just to light to tow in heavy winds and on winding roads and in the mountains. same boat on the F150 and the F250 and I regret getting the F150 even though it can tow 9600 LBS and the F250 can tow 11500 LBS would have gotten the Diesel instead of the gas engine. Just my 2 cents
I'm GONNA SMACK MY HUBBY
Nice name
@@keithg5187 Bwahahaha
Ron doesn't want his wife to know how much he paid.
maybe she isn't as frugal.
😂😂😂
Seriously so annoying! Price is pretty important to leave out. Would have been nice for the consumer to know a realistic price off sticker they could expect if they put a little work in. And I would have liked to know what discounts and incentives they gave him. Such a stupid old school way of thinking. Its not like your giving us your bank statements!
🤣
@@07GTStallion exactly. We bought a camry loaded 18 for 22. Grand with tags fees included. Shit two family members went and bought one of their own for that price
I learned if you don’t talk about the price,you payed too much.
That's what i was thinking. How often do you custom order a truck from the factory and they give you a massive discount. They put discounts on trucks that have been sitting on the lot and they want gone
People who pay cash get a big discount
Troy Stocker Nope. They like financing...another channel to earn $.
Want my tips? Last car I bought I paid 7k below asking (much more below msrp).
@@joapps8135 cash is always king , if you saved a bunch off money buying a dodge or chevy , they had to lower price to get rid of the junk
Troy Stocker it was an escalade but whatever.
perhaps not at joe's little car lot on the corner or perhaps u r not current, but trust me that u r confused about buying w cash at a dealership
Old guy: Did I mention I am frugal??
Andrei: Yes, during the entire video...
mar fon Andrei is so nice, great with these interviews.
Weird how he's frugal but yet buys new instead of used like a frugal person would do.
Buys new and adds more aftermarket garbage. Buy a diesel dodge for used for 10k 6 times over lol
@@justinjones5281 find a cummins dodge for 10 grand and come back to me 😂
they’re easily 20k with 200k miles
*"Substantially below sticker price" is probably $3000!*
Haha I was thinking $1500 , if I got a good deal I would tell the price I got it for
@Kimbocf Aloggo *where is "here" ?*
He got it for just above cost which is about 10 to 15k less than stocker price. Best time to buy from dealerships is right at the end of a fiscal year. They want those sales to be higher for given period as well
@@eugeniustheodidactus8890 Here is Katmandu
You should bring this back in 5 years, and ask him to talk about it again.
He won’t have it. Lemon 🍋 law.
It's a Ford.. it's a 50/50 that it makes it the 5 years
@@jasonwilliams3223 lol the f250 ram 2500 are two of the longest lasting out there.
Steven Cruz not the power stroke diesel
Looks like there is only one way to know for sure .........
Surprised he didn’t get an XL single cab with vinyl seats, floor, crank windows and unpainted bumpers with how frugal he is lol
Crank windows🤣🤣🤣
@@JavierPerez-zo8dz
Ey cant go wrong with roll up windows. Thats old school.
Well concerning the purchase price, I got:
- The Ford Employee Discount
- Costco Member Discount
- Stackable Ford Year End Discount
- Veterans Discount
- Seniors Discount
- Order Of Grand Poohbah Discount
- Teamster Discount
- And Third Party reference Discount
How much you pay? Oh, about 60 grand.
Funniest comment I've seen 😂
By the way if my wife asks, A new Raptor is 40k
Hahahaha Nope! Everyone else will tell if they see her in it. Just call it her truck that you use. That’ll sit better.
@@Abuzac smart man
I have a suspicion this owner might be frugal just in case you didn't hear him say that he's a Frugal person because I think he is frugal.
Ron is frugal, just in case you missed it.
Why is frugal
#SaveThatMoney
If he were vegetarian, his mention of that would have been even more numerous than his claims of being frugal.
ya all the frugal people i know are buying 60k trucks
Andrei, you’re great at these interviews and incredibly knowledgeable- nice work.
So true! I made a trip to Canada this year and my mileage improved drastically on the diesel up there, from 18 mpg to 22 mpg!
Joe Harker we do have much better diesel. The minimum cetane rating is much higher than US fuel. Which I found crazy but it is what it is.
Mike Haslett your beer has a higher alcohol content too. 👍🏻
Some of us are Ford guys, some Chevy, some RAM, Toyota, Nissan, we’ll argue all day what’s best, but in the end we’re truck folks and this guy is an example of pretty good man! Great interview enjoyed it, nice TRUCK!!’ Being a lowly XL owner, not frugal just poor, upidy XLT owners with your heated seats and chrome!!! My STX means Shit Trucks Xpensive,,,,,,sorry about the cuss word.
ive only owned XLs...just like he said in the video, you can option them up pretty cheaply since its a base model. as far as I know, the only thing I dont have that an XLT does is heated seats and the 110 outlet, and I got it for easily 10k less than a typical XLT
Im impressed anyone can afford a new truck these days. Im struggling to keep up in the used truck lot...lol
@@SketchyXC the only way most working folks can do it is to have bought one 20 years ago when the cost was reasonable, and kept trading up. theres no way in the world I could buy even a 2wd super duty if I didnt have trade ins...the market go hijacked by rich people
@@johndoe-bk3de Yup. the big three make their largest profit margins from pick ups. $90k for a new truck with electronics that are bound to fail and emissions controls that choke the hell out of the engine and also fail...uhhh, no thanks, I'll stick with my bought new 01 7.3. No DEF, EGR, not even a cat to worry about.
By no means does having an STX trim level make you poor. It's still a 45k truck and where I'm from that puts you in middle class territory. I drive a ram Express which is the equivalent to the STX f150. Sells for around the same price. It has everything I need and nothing I don't.
The wobble he refrences at 7:19 was the only reason i traded my 2017 f250. It unfortunately happened too often & the trips to the dealer solved nothing. I traded it in for a chevy 2500 & although I love the ride on my new truck, I miss the body style of my ford. Its like settling down with a nice woman but still missing that sexy looking head turner that treated you like crap lol.
I’ve heard of GM trucks doing this too they call it the Chevy shake
great description a guy can relate to ;)
All three brands have death wobble in their solid front axle trucks but ford is the worst. JUNK
Bring back the twin I-beam front suspension, problem solved...
@@vorant77 that was a horrible suspension. Numb, horrid steering feel, way to much motion, unreliable af.
Bright man. I'm glad to see someone who actually put some thought into his purchase and didn't just flip from a 3 year old model and go under in value on debt. Sounds like he drove that older 99 f250 into the dirt, got every penny out of it, probably maintained it himself and then even when buying new again only paid what he had to for the specific needs he had. Great work! I bought my 2015 f150 brand new as an XLT model and now have it full paid off, but i'm not going to flip it. I'm now going to focus on maintenance and keeping it alive as long as possible while doing some personalizing mods along the way.
Hey I drove them all too and I bought a Ram 2500 Diesel. I guess I kinda understand what he means by turbo lag but the Cummins is a totally different animal. It doesn't act like the other two. And I didnt buy a diesel to race it. I bought it to tow. And it tows like a freight train baby! And I got 3.73 gears standard. Very happy about that. Im sure he would have liked the 3.73's since he went 3.55's and his only other option was 3.31's. And Im a Ford guy! I was orginally only considering a new F250 until I drove the Ram. Then I was like ok maybe Ill consider another manufacturer. And hey all the little things he complained about not having like the leather stearing wheel and dampened tailgate... all come standard on the Ram Big Horn addition. And no issues with hooking up safety chains. Ram did it right. Rams big horn is their level 2 package just like Fords XLT. O and no matter how much you outfit a truck level 2 package it doesn't come close to a Laramie or Fords Lariat. You jump a fence between a level 2/3 package. I would make the argument that you could outfit a level 3 package (Laramie/Lariat) close to a level 4/5 and you could outfit a level 1 (XL/Tradesman) to be closer too a level 2.
You made the right choice. The Duramax/Powestroke are more peppy and take off better, but the Cummins is slow and steady.
The 68rfe scares me off from rams, sadly Aisins and G56s seem impossible to find.
The Cummins is set up for low end torque with the straight 6 setup, which is why for serious towing it’s a good choice.
@@vr4787 the cummins is fantastic, I just can't understand why they can't put a transmission behind it that will take the abuse like the fords can.
@OGL iaDL No you don't. The 2500 gets only the 68RFE and the lower rated 6.7, while the 3500 gets either the same 68RFE + 6.7 or the full output 6.7 hooked up to the Aisin for some extra cash. It's been that way since forever. You don't get the Aisin with the 2500 suspension.
And the 68RFE is just fine if you don't drive like a maniac. It's not there for you to tow, not hoon; that kind of behaviour will wreck a AS69RC before long, no difference. It just won't last forever like the Aisin, but when the time comes eventually to replace the 68RFE, it's got one major advantage over the AS69RC in that you can opt for a built 68RFE instead, which will walk all over any Aisin you can get your hands on.
Great truck! I love this guy. Looks up the prices of add ons and does it himself. Awesome.
Thanks Ron for the information. I like hearing from the owner what you think.
Whether you choose a Ford, a Chevy, a RAM or GMC pickup -- they're ALL great vehicles and are a bargain for what you get -- towing capacity, utility, comfort, safety, efficiency, and rock solid durability that cannot be matched by any other vehicles of any sort on the market.
I love this video, finally a real truck that gets naught and built exactly for what it’s used for, nothing against the higher trim models but they are getting outrageously expensive!!!
I agree with him, no need for leather, I've had that b4, and its cold in winter and hella hot in summer.
in my experience, RAM isn't the best chassis, but with some mods, IT IS. There is NOTHING easy about working on a PowerStroke. Cummins however, is. And Cummins is ALWAYS making improvements to maintenance items to make them better. Ford def. does RIDE BETTER hands down. Ford should have let Cummins put their name on the valve covers back in the 80's and Ford would OWN the truck industry, and everyone else would be selling compact cars instead!!
Wait.....did I just hear him say they have wobble? LIKE Dodge "death wobble"? wow...... what irony.
Great review though, good to see a REAL WORLD guy give his 2 cents!
I honestly have never ridden in a coil rear Dodge. So I wouldn't know.
@HalfShell You can't get coils on the 2500, it's only available on the 1500
2015 and up ram 2500 are rear coil suspension
Jason Radcliff 2014
Racing Slippers I had coils on my 2500 limited!
This was a great video. Love to see a guy that takes this much pride in his vehicle and is actually very knowledgeable on the vehicle. Compared to most of these young bucks that have no idea what any of the specs are.
What a great vid, thanks TFL team!
can't wait to see how the new 7.3 gas engine does
I wish it was a diesel
Its easy to guess. Not as well as the deisel and not as good on fuel and not last as long. The option is just cheaper. Thats all
MrDavidelliottjr hmmmm.. I bash Ford every chance I get and to be honest, that 7.3 looks very promising.
MrDavidelliottjr with all the emissions crap on the diesel I’d be surprised if it could last half as long as the 7.3. Take that stuff off and it might be a different story.
Yeah let’s remember that the 7.3 is, I believe, a true replacement to the 6.8 V10. That means it’s designed with medium duty in mind, be it commercial trucks, semi large RVs etc. I think in a 3/4 ton truck application it will shine really well.
Ron does not want us to know that the dealer ripped him off and that he is not a good negotiator at all.
Lol yeah dude probably has like 70k in it with the mods and stuff
Dealers rip everybody off, whether you think you are a good negotiator or not.
It's impolite to ask about money or how much you spent on something to people of his (and my) generation.
We are not of the social media generation where your private life is fodder for everyone to comment on, especially finances.
sheehy933 it's not impolite by any means
I could tell that man was pretty well-versed in trucks. You also asked some good questions of him and I always enjoy your take on different trucks.
FAVORITE SEGMENT EVER! another great video and guest, thanks TFLT!
Hey Andre I would like if you come to Michigan and come do an overview in my dads truck like you did in this video
Email us about it at ask@tfltruck.com Perhaps, we can carve out some time for this next time we are near Detroit.
Nice 250..⭐⭐⭐🏁🏁🏁..thanks Ron n Andre.. Its a big beautiful truck
Thanks Andre. Another very entertaining video.
This is why i watch these videos! That light bar tip was great! Thanks Ron!
Great vid from a real guy that uses his truck thanks
Honestly this guy's opinion doesn't mean much to me after saying he didn't like the 7.3 cause it was too loud. I'm not even a Ford guy and even I know the 7.3 is one of the best diesels to be put in a pickup truck.
You think that isn't a valid point he is making about it being too loud? For long trips a quieter ride is nice especially if you don't need the 7.3 that just ends up costing more.
Agreed. Diesel is loud. Be proud
@@Prima10ne the new 7.3 is a gas motor not a diesel.
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
These owner reviews are great; real world information from folks that made the big ticket purchase as opposed to a 1 hour test drive impression, keep them up!
Love these “Dude I love or hate my ride” but I don’t recall ever having a guest who hated their ride, so why the title? I would be great to hear from bad experiences too
Who wants to come on and admit screwing up? Confirmation bias is a given on these types of videos.
Dan the Man Dan the Man then maybe the segment should be renamed? That’s my initial point, if all of these videos are called “dude I love or hate my ride” and all the thumbnails have “love or hate” but we only see the ones that love their vehicles, then why call it the way it is? I would like to see owners who don’t love their vehicles and explain why, they bring as much of a valued opinion and feedback to the community as the ones who state they love their ride
Wish I could have done one on my GTI but its totaled now
how about I like my ride? I've owned MOPAR since 90 and my current truck is a F350 DRW. Nice truck, but has it's issues. If Ram would have had a truck that could pull what I needed at the time, I would have bought another Ram in a heartbeat, even with all the recalls.
When does the owner hate their vehicle? Don’t recall that happening on tfl.
They hate it when the warranty is up. Nobody does reviews on high milage vehicles though. No shill money in it.
The ford raptor is one I can remember. He bought a lemon. Search it
Over MSRP true but I almost don’t think that’s valid, I mean a normal functioning vehicle. Anyone would hate a lemon. But good response :) I’ll look it up
oak 1971 KD9NXQ all of my yes! I can’t stand new car reviews lol
It's a shill site. They don't want to broadcast bad news as they might lose their seat at the table. It would be nice to have a car channel that was like Paul Harrell. No non-sense straight shooting. Most of motojournalism is pollyannish. It hasn't always been that way. That said, if you want honesty with cars on you tube, check out Scotty Kilmer. I don't always agree with him, but he's not a shill.
I agree I watch every video, we got a 96 Bronco and 18 Ford F150 5.0 Lariat in our driveway and I always enjoy TFL informative Truck vids.
This is a great platform for truck/car reviews. Nice Job!
I'm just glad Tommy was with his babysitter for this video!!!
Ford, Chevy, RAM, GMC -- they're ALL great pickups.
Ever watch Scotty Kilmer on UA-cam?
Tommy Truth ive witnessed REAL mechanics laugh at scotty kilmer video’s, not because hes funny, but because he doesn’t know what hes talking about... but people like you love him smh
For about 3 years
Love love love ! I like how specific he is with what and why , good video yo 🌟
I loved your video today keep making good videos 😁
Those Amazon sourced Chinese front lights will last one winter season. 😁
Remember he's frugal...
The problem is, while I agree the Chinese lights are cheap and mostly crap, anything american made is grossly over priced. I've like to see an american company step up and make a good light for a cheaper price point. I do and would expect to pay more for something made in the US, however companies like Rigid seem like highway robbery to me.
Hi i live in Saskatchewan. My Amazon Leds and Amazon Light bars have lasted 2 winters so far with zero issues. -46°C coldest so far.
They are fine if you reseal them. They sit low on my my ranchhand and they’ve seen some crap.
So I was going to buy one of these but then I realized I didn't have that kind of money so I got a 01 7.3 lariat f250 4x4 for a lot less.
Your a smart person!
18 years old. Yeah I'd expect it to be a lot less.

I got a 2011 ford f250 6.2 and only problems I've had are common car problems that could happen to any car. Had a few flat tires and one of my wheel weights fell off. Over 110k miles and just fluid changes so far. Been good so far! That's a nice truck though! Lots more power.
keshmo12 Heard nothing but good things about the 6.2 motor.
So cool. Would love this one with the new 7,3 V8 Godzilla.
You have to own a gas station to buy one of those.

Congratulations on your truck, love the color 👍🏻

White is a color, it is all the colors combined. It is technically the least racist of colors.
I have a 2018 super duty diesel and i went with leds from headlight revaluation they work great and the youtube video how to in stall worked out great. great trucks .
This is great, it’s helping me decide what trim level to go with.
Really good video. I work for a Ford dealership, and really like the Super Duty truck line. But i will not buy one until they figure out their horrible death wobble issues. A very huge safety concern!
Mine happened on the freeway doing 70 mph at 3 am in another state 400 miles from home, pulling a car hauler with my daughter in the truck. Thought we were going to die.we limped into a ford dealership and slept in the truck until they open. only to be told its not a problem and they won't fix it.
That’s a beautiful 250
This was good. Good to hear an honest opinion. I like this guys way of thinking.
wise and knowledgeable, great hearing his experience
Price is one of the biggest details with a new truck & grandpa can’t say what he paid? Should’ve just told him to go home & get another guy. That ruined the video.
Frugal: You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means
Prudent in spending is one of the definitions of the word frugal, so that seems to match what the owner claimed to a T.
What is the payload capacity on your F-250?
This I like I'm liking these real world owner reviews not from dealership salesman or or manufacturer reviews great work TFL hope to see more Real reviews from real world owners ✌
The ram had lag?? I’ve always felt like the Cummins straight 6 always had a quicker big hit of torque than the V8 diesels. I’ve spent a lot of time in a Duramax hauling cattle. The V8 really shines when climbing a grade at 80mph and maintaining speed. The 6 felt like it had more getting up and going power but won’t run a load of cows 80mph up a hill. I like them both! But V8 feels more laggy to me when getting started but has better high speed power
We have f350 diesel crew cabs with cranes and reading boxes at work. I haven't seen 1 that has gone over 10k miles without going back to ford for repairs. Several complete engines blown and Tons of egr and regen issues. My 6.0 excursion looks bulletproof compared to these new diesel engines
The 6.0 is good just fix the nagging issues like the EGR and do the regular maintenance your good to go. I'm going to eventually sell off my 6.0 only gets 12.5 mpg its F350 crew cab srw 4x4 I've owned the truck for 7 years. Diesel fuel in Western Canada is 5.32 a US gallon Canadian. Do an oil change myself using motor craft filters and Rotella T6 is 400 dollars. The company truck I drive is a 2013 F-350 crew cab 4x4 dually 6.2 powered gets the fuel mileage, maintenance is cheap. I'm going with a 6.2 gas truck no questions asked.
I'm seeing a lot of "how much did he pay for it." "Must have paid sticker" speculation. I'm not sure many people understand how a dealer buys a vehicle. The vehicles on the dealer lot are not owned by the dealer. In the case of the dealer I bought from - they had about $30M in vehicles in stock. Dealers can't afford that kind of money, so the vehicles are owned by a floor plan (finance) company. The longer the unit sits on the lot, the more the dealer has to sell the vehicle for to offset the floor plan charges. If you order a truck, the floor plan charge is essentially $0 as it is a pre-sold vehicle. I own a 2019 F350, dually, crew cab. The sticker on the vehicle was right at $86K.
I paid $75.3K including tax (about $1200), title, and license fees. My buying price was $200 over the dealer invoice price. However, that is NOT what they paid for the vehicle as the dealer gets "holdback" - about 3% of the MSRP from the manufacturer, and then what ever additional incentives and dealer discounts, volume pricing, etc. are available from the manufacturer.
At a minimum the dealer made: $2580 (hold back) + $200 + ???? (other incentives) for spending about 2 hours with me when I ordered the truck and covering their overhead costs. When you deduct overhead and other sales costs, the dealer probably netted about $1500 profit on a $74.1K sale or 2% (plus additional monies from manufacturer to dealer incentives). Dealers make more from the service department and on used vehicles than on a new vehicle.
First "mod" I did to mine was sealing up all those gaps around the bed with some color matched polyurethane caulking on the left and right side. Much better now.
Well youl regret that when it's in the shop more often than not. But I'm biased. Great review and thank you for being frank with the viewers.
C Steele 6.7 is a good engine. I see where you get your bias from.
Is Chevy any different? Lmao
haha shackles on the tow hook mounts just like mine. None of my trailer hooks will snap on to the hitch, ugh! What was Ford thinking??
Sounds like he did get a good deal on the truck, considering he went to several dealers....nice truck! Another great video!
Where did you get the D shackles for the trailer chains?
60 percent of the comments- much truck, very cool.
30 percent of the comments- rattling off old stereotypes
10 percent of the comments- oh he paid $$$
What old stereotypes?
Ron don't worry it should be reliable for at least 20k miles
Yes after it turns 400,000 miles
Great review. I didn't order mine, but it seems to be a much better way to go. Made that XLT very nice!
Love this getting guys that actually buy them and their feedback
Have yall done a 5.3 vs 6.2 chevy silverado test with towing and mpg and drag race? If not will yall ever? Yall should do the drag race with 5.3, 6.2 chevy and 2.7, 3.5, and 5.0 f150 also the ram v6 and v8 models that would be awesome.
They’ve done this years ago. There’s no surprise.
@@supporterofsanity I'm talking about 2019 models though
Bilo12122 you really expect a different result lol! I wouldn’t thumbs down it but I’d watch something less predictable
I had the death wobble at 36k miles on my F250. The cheapo fix for the wobble is a new steering dampener. There is a technical service bulletin out from Ford that lists the parts needed to actually fix it though. I had to buy big D rings for my towing setup too. Ford screwed that up
One easy way I learned from owning about 20 different Fords with the death wobble, if you align the truck, go about half inch toe out in the front it completely solve the problem.
I have a 2019 had the death wobble they changed the dampener it made it better but still had small issue then change end rods and that fixed it
I LOVE the rear truck release he installed.
Pretty cool.
Classic old man truck review. Should make a disclaimer about allowing the purchase price to be a part of the review, people really like to know what real world prices are. It is one of the most important parts of buying a vehicle, cost.
I agree. Perhaps TFL would consider establishing price disclosure as a ground rule before even making the video. But then again, even though the owner balked at stating the price he paid, many other aspects of the interview were worthwhile, so perhaps that's how TFL weighs it all out when they produce a video.
i'm a toyota guy but these f250s are bad to the bone. just don't need that big of a truck rn
diesel lag?? i love _get up and go_ in my truck too, but was the ram that bad?
No, it's not!
I bet it was defueling for the transmission. Ram can't build/buy a transmission to put behind the cummin to save their life. Plus the low end torque has a different feel to it from a V8 diesel. My ram feels slow l, but when I'm pulling a trailer the low rpm torque is amazing. And will climb a hill without having to rev it to the moon.
Just a beautiful truck. Works so well. So much tourque
did the shocks help the bump steer issue o have same truck and on washboard it's all over the place
Oldfart didn't want 2 say what he paid fot his truck that's a big part of why people watch
What he paid for the truck is nobody's damned business.
@MegaFishguts Large discounts is common on these large diesel trucks, 10-13K is not uncommon. Depends a lot on the dealership and their buying power too. Small dealerships cannnot buy below invoice as a big dealership buying big amounts of same vehicle can.
Love it. Great looking truck!
excellent video. we need more cuz it helps.
Love my 18 Lariat really like the seating position tested a denali but felt like I was sitting in a bucket looking into the back side of the hood I like looking over the hood.
I’d love to know how these 6.7 diesels hold up over the long term. I’ve heard diesel repairs are very pricey. The 7.3 is $10k cheaper and I would guess more reliable, while not having nearly the grunt.
Greg Weik They’re reliable overall. Look it up.
@Robby Dey Well I bought an f250 diesel tremor platinum a year ago and so far it’s pretty impressive.
@BL Dontmatter Two years in now, still no issues. Not all new vehicles are problem free..
@BL Dontmatter I disagree. I've owned nearly 50 vehicles, and you can often determine build quality within 2 years. Definitely within 10. My 6-year-old AMG G63 already has issues that no 6-year-old Toyota would have, for example.
Ram got eliminated first? Should have known, he has Rough Country on his truck. I wouldnt expect him to know what quality is anyways
i hope they get someone with a Ram 2500
I have a feeling he's a hypocrite. Says hes frugal like 20 times but yet buys brand new tells us all he put into it but won't say the cost.
nobody is going to trust a fiat built vehicle... and if you are dumb enough to spend that much money on one then god bless ya
charld mine was great. Only real issue I had was squealing breaks and the fender flairs kept coming off (2016 mega cab limited). All the other issues I was having, were caused by the dumbass dealer.
Damien Martelli never really had any issues with my trucks (My 13 Laramie was a POS, mainly due to shaking issues and my current 19 longhorn has a lot of issues). However, they never left me on the side of the road like my POS f150 fx4 2.7 crew cab xlt did. My 3 worst vehicles ever... 1. 2002 Chevy Malibu. 2. 2015 f150. 3. 2018 4runner limited.
I had a v10 with 4.33 gears and it was great and really was impressive, I still kind of miss her just wished she got better mpgs, but I wanted diesel so I got rid of it and got a 7.3.
That triton V-10 is a workhorse and so durable.
This guy reminds me of my dad a bit. He just bought a new 3.5EB F-150, also XLT, also has some minor touches customized for him. I've been driving it all over the place in the snow recently, fun truck. Was worried that the 10spd would constantly be searching for the next gear, and there is a little of that, but it's not too bad. Regarding this guy's truck, I'm so infatuated with the Tremors right now that any other Super Duty seems a little pedestrian!
I like the frugality, I bet he is debt free and paid cash.
BrianNC81 of coarse he did. Ask any salesman they’ll tell you. I’ve asked many an they all say the same thing most people on these expensive NEW trucks today are paying cash. I said must be nice lol
Only a person heavily in debt says only an idiot pays in cash.
If you pay cash you dont build credit?
If you can afford to pay cash you don’t need to build credit.
A good reason not to pay cash is you can get a really low interest rate so you're only paying 2-3 thousand in interest max, but you invest the rest of the money which gives you more money in the long run.
Is it just me or does their intro sound like the office
My Brother a Die-Hard Chevy guy, Dumped his 2014 Duramax for the 2020 Superduty, Had issues with allison transmission, will down shift his 11000 lbs trailer, no help from chevy dealer, With the super Duty he has a new 16000 trailer , He cant even tell the difference when going uphill, Man Loves his super Duty
Loveland ford does a good job at taking care of their customers in Loveland Colorado
We're going to have somebody that hates the ride
Wait til that 6.7 drops a glow plug. He won't be smiling with a 17000 dollar engine replacement
Best looking truck on the market imo. Great video.
How can I order directly from Ford? I can’t hear clearly.
