Here is why Ford uninvited TFL from upcoming F150 and Bronco events and banned TFL from Ford press fleet. tinyurl.com/yav8qu9e
Its sad they blocked you what’s wrong with ford this is where GM shows how much better they are
@@siraff4461 Perfectly stated. It's yin and yang. TFL did nothing wrong, but at the same time, Ford has a right to hold them accountable for showing the world what's under their skirt.
The only reason I bought an ecoboost was because of TFL running the Ike. Fleet decisions were also influenced by TFL reviews at my company. They still are by the way.
Everyone ‘now that you serve at Ford’s behest. Break the rules at your own peril.
They are doing their jibs as automotive journalists. Been vi ing ford free publicity all the time and then ford acts like petty children and say you are not our friends anymore!
Good news: The fAct that Ford uninvited you gives you more street cred.
Eh really? They are always up front when they get a press car and the fact they also buy cars for long term and project vids I think they have some cred. lol. Still I wish they gave cost breakdown vids when they do project cars. I know they weasle free parts and labour on allot of stuff form manufactures for sponsorship but it would be nice to know what it would cost US to do something similar.
I do know one thing though. If I was a manufacturer and gave them free parts I sure as hell would make them plaster my logo all over their project.
"Good news: The fAct that Ford uninvited you gives you more street cred." Great! When does TFL get FCA "street cred"? ... when that giant sucking noise subsides.
@B ! No, it means they are honest reviewers and not marketing. Many car "reviews" are just paid or spondored ads.
@B ! Yeah I know. I was explaining to you why it gives them street cred, but doesn't have anything to do with not liking Ford. This happens on the gun side of UA-cam all the time. Companies get upset at reviewers for being honest about their product and uninvite them from marketing events. But just because the particular gun (or truck) in question has some issues, that doesn't necessarily reflect the companies' other products.
Hoping Ford will change their mind about uninviting you guys to the reveal of Bronco and F-150 they're only hurting themselves... You guys are the most influential new truck channel on UA-cam
They can keep theyr Bronco....as long as it has just turbo 4 cyl option,it wont be in my mind to buy any....and the sticker price....wow....nt worth the $$$
I did consider your videos when I bought my F-150. Other channels show quirks and features but you’re the only one showing them being put to work and reporting how they handle it.
It was your videos regarding the F150 Lariat 3.5 Ecoboost that made up my mind to get one.
Thanks we work hard to actually test the trucks and not just point at stuff.
The reason I bought a Ford was because of the results of your testing. I was going to buy a F250, but you said in your video the F350 was a better deal for what you get for the money. So, I now own a 2019, F350. If Ford thinks they won’t lose business for this move, they’re wrong.
Hey now daddy Doug is the number one channel for a reason. His videos are hilarious and that kinda stuff is only pertinent for a small percentage of people. He has done offroady vids but they don't do nearly as well.
TFL is my favorite for sure. Doug Demuro is alright, i just watch him if i really want to see some odd features
I purchased a Ranger FX4 with the help of your review. I love it.
I have been watching your show for over 4 years now.
I was waiting for the Bronco but got so sick of waiting and the delays too.
Dear TFL, I have been watching you guys from the earliest days of testing on the “Ike Gauntlet” and have always enjoyed your “real world” reviews and opinions. I was thrilled when you starting being invited to the previews and reveals as it gave me access to those products through the opinions of people that I trusted. It has been fun watching Tommy grow into his role and I enjoy his perspective. Andre is still my favorite and I appreciate his attention to detail. I now watch your reviews on everything from motorcycles and campers, to trucks and atv’s. My immediate plan was to purchase a Ford F-250 with a Lariat or Platinum trim (inventory issues due to COVID slowed me down) however, literally due to Ford’s recent actions toward TFL, I will be purchasing a Ram 2500 Limited and adding Carli suspension components. Keep up the good fight fellas, we all appreciate your hard work and great reviews out here on the Western Slope!
Thanks for the kind words!
Awesome change of mind. Cummins rocks anyway and Ford deserves to loose customers for their decision. My best friend absolutely loves his 2017 Ram 2500 4x4.
i’m about to buy the new 7.3 f250 but what a sour taste. what’s wrong with ford..
Good choice ram is far superior than Ford. Plus they have the best interior on any truck today
My coworker loved his Ram 2500 with the Cummins until the interior started rattling, creaking and popping. He has taken it back to the dealer three times, that I know of, to address the interior noises to no avail. His truck is barely a year old and he's already considering trading up to an F250. He absolutely loves the Cummins and interior design but is so disappointed with Ram's service after sale and interior quality issues. I rented a Ram 1500 a few months ago and the interior was just beautiful but after just a few miles down the road that beautiful interior started creaking, squeaking and popping. It was so frustrating! Just wanted to pass this along. Good luck with whatever you decide to purchase. Hopefully these two incidents were isolated.
Big enough for Roman and I to spoon- instant like😂😂
They’re going broke back mountain on the back of the F150 😂🤣😂
Loved that comment lol
😂
I ordered a very similar F250 last month to replace my '04 F350. TFL' s videos definitely influenced my decision to stay with Ford.
thanks guys for all of your reviews. I purchased my F250 based on some of your reviews and brand loyalty but you guys helped tip the scale
You guys are the reason I want an AT4 Sierra! Your reviews are always so good! Content is always good! They kicked you out because of a mole. Bad on their part. You were just giving us what we want. Your motto "you hear it here first" we sure do. Thank you guys for everything you do. This is gonna hurt their PR. Maybe even sales.... dare I say that. You guys have so many followers that this is gonna hurt them in some way shape or form. Thank you again for all that you do.
I DEFINITELY CHOSE MY F-350 BASED ON TFL VIDEOS!!
Last year I bought a 40’fifth wheel and debated what truck I needed to tow 16,000# of truck. I almost bought the Ram. But watching the Ike Gauntlet videos helped me decide that I needed the 350 DRW. I bought the Lariat package. I will say that the comments about the interior trim are spot on. Functional but not great quality. Ford can do better and based on what Ram has done they need to just to keep up.
I love my 350 overall. Really disappointed to hear Ford has stopped allowing TFL to participate in their media events. Dumb!!
I am curious about your perspective regarding the Ford interior trim verses the Dodge interior trim. Please elaborate in general.....but also, specifically regarding 'quality'. The word quality has a reliability and durability connotation. I would appreciate your input. Thanks!
I bought a used 2017 DRW, I absolutely love it (about 4,000 miles on it so far). I only tow about 8,000 lbs and of course the truck doesnt even break a sweat. 11 mpg towing, 14 empty, all stock.
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but what engine did you chose? I'm looking for a 3/4-1 ton to pull a 35ish ft 5th wheel and boat. Haven't decided on gas or diesel yet, and of course which engine in either class.
@@15Jeep - Just go sit in and look at the materials, fit/finish, SWITCHGEAR. Ford's stuff is just cheap.
@@15Jeep Mike sorry I didn't see this earlier. Three things, first I have previously had King Ranch and most recently Limited Trims in F-150s. The Lariat Ultimate Package is adequate in terms of bells and whistles but there is a lot more plastic/synthetic material in this trim level than in previous versions I owned - that is not Ford's fault, Secondly I have had two recalls in first six months and one FSA so I am likely a bit jaded about Ford quality overall more than the interior. Third there were a few little things like the windshield interior gasket at the base of the windshield that was not seated right on either passenger or driver sides - sticks out a few inches. A couple of long threads on the floor mats.AC Louvres that are hard to adjust properly so that it hits my face. Small stuff. In fairness to ford the interior quality is "good". I bought down and had to deal with some recalls and it colored my opinion.
The reason I bought my 2017 Ford SuperDuty was because I watched TFL videos of the new designed truck. The video of the first offroad event sealed the deal for me. Ford should be paying you for the attention you brought to their vehicles, not banning you from events.
Thank you for cutting off that air dam. I was waiting for the trail to rip it off for you! Looks so much better
I know, right. I hate them it looks like a toddler wearing a bib lol. Deep snow berms will rip them right off.
Hey Andre.......like your detail in reviews! Thanks for pointing out the poor design of the loop hole for attaching safety chain hooks in the Class 5 Hitch. Not too much of problem for me since I almost exclusively tow gooseneck trailers with the B & W hitch. However, it is and has been a problem with the bumper pull hitches.
Hey TFL, been a fan sinceI was in High School and the days of "Russian Mechanic" in the background😂. Now my parents are about to purchase a new vehicle, specifically a crossover. Because of your REAL WORLD TESTS O have helped them make the decision to go with the new Rav4. #ThanksTFL
Also Wow, never thought Ford would do that EVENTHOUGH THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ONLINE! I hope you guys get back on good terms with Ford and get a forst look on new products!
Evil tongues may say that "russian mechanic" is from Oxnard CA LOL
Your enthusiasm and passion for trucks helped in my decision to try and F150 in September 2019. And I switched for the first time to Ford from Chevy. Ford needs to lighten up
YOUR REVIEWS ARE VERY HELPFUL. Even though I was a Ford mechanic early in my career, I do not have up to date information for today's new cars. Your reviews help to keep me in the know with all trucks and cars. Thanks for your great reviews. I will keep watching your channel.
I tow and you are my primary source for truck info
I owned a 73 bronco, 302 automatic, it was one of the most fun rides I ever had. I’ve been driving a wrangler the last ten years. I was looking forward to the new bronco, but come on Ford! Quit treating TFL like that. Mark me done with the blue oval!
I like your content and this channel seems to be the most objective out off all channels on this platform. The real world testing is what really enjoy watching, whether you do an Ike gauntlet test or go on some off-road trails. You guys definitely put the rigs through it's paces. If I was ever in the market for a HD truck, either Ford or Ram is what I'd be looking to purchase. Keep up producing great videos 👍
You guys do awesome reviews! I certainly appreciate your candid honesty and attention to the details that are the similar concerns, questions and info that I want to know more about! I’ve emailed or commented with questions previously and Andre has always gotten back to me with sincere replies. Keep it up guys, you’re a great team and on trend with consumers. 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Absolutely agree with the safety tow chains, I use them all the time and it's a complete pain in the you know what!
You guys are great. Keep the videos coming.
I have to say this channel was a big reason why I bought my Ram Rebel. I loved watching the show using the Rebel long term. Love seeing the different vehicles and setups, that I personally would not get to see otherwise. It helped me make a great decision.
I bought a 2018 F 150 stx 4x4 and now a 2021 F 250 7.3 XLT because of your in depth video's. Keep up the great work you guys do.
The millions, yes milions of dollars of free advertising you have done for Ford and they uninvited you? Shame on you Ford.
@R J Honestly I'm not really a Ford fan. But I can honestly say it's nice to see what Ford and all the truck brands have to offer. It's sad to think the only reason you're here is just for the Fords. One of many reasons the Ford community is so toxic.
Dylan3475 facts I had Chevys and gmc. But I still enjoy watching other brands like Ford Toyota Ram and others that aren’t at the top but watched as they improved
@R J Yeah but Fords owned the towing competition for awhile. Most people buy trucks and never tow a thing with them. And the Fords really aren't the nicest trucks right now. In terms of looks interior and exterior along with underperforming tech inside.
Great review have been watching yall for 5 years now! So sad to see Ford act like this as they are my go to truck brand even though I drive a chevy haha
I buy my trucks after I watch what you guys think of them. Your reviews are spot on. No bull shit. Straight forward, all equally tested. I was leaning towards a Super Duty F250. It's off my list now. Thanks guys for helping me choose my my truck. Towing a camper and using my truck for long trips fits your test spot on. Keep up the great testing. Great job. Thank you
Love the new antenna on the back! Between the drop in height and mounting two smaller antenna in the back I can now fit the F350 in my standard size garage (barely). I pull a fifth wheel and have no issues with reception.
Thanks for your reviews. They were helpful in selecting my 2020 F350 Platinum (bluejeans blue). Love it!
Hey, Ford, I never would have bought an EcoBoost motor if it wasn’t for the testing by TFL. If you are going to drop them are you standing behind this twin turbo charged direct injected motor under my hood or are you leaving me out in the cold like TFL and my three daughters with a Fiesta and two Focus dual clutch transmissions?
Little worried now.
some of them fiesta and focus are buy back from ford.... good luck on getting anything for it... why ford sucks.... they are making more and more junk anymore... like they haven't in the pasted but they are top billing on recalls...
TFLT DID NOT DROP FORD,ford dropped them !!!
The 6 speed ford transmissions were the worst. My dad’s transmission went completely out of his 2017 explorer with less than 100K as a company car and all he did was highway driving. It was always serviced regularly and he didn’t beat on it. Do yourself a solid and trade up for some Toyota’s
@@justinloughrie15 Weird. I never heard anything bad about those transmissions. Automatics can be a mixed bag
TFL is the reason I own a F-150!! I watch all their videos on all the trucks! If Ford doesn’t want to provide or let TFL participate then I guess I’m getting a GMC/RAM/Toyota/Nissan 🤷🏼♂️. Suck it up FORD.
When I was in the market for a HD truck 2 years ago, YOUR review of them was the deciding factor to go with a Ford Superduty.....if this is how they decide to treat reviewers that report on information that is freely available on the internet my next purchase will definitely be with a company that values the free market, freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Not to mention a you give them a TON of free press and marketing.
Hey FORD PR team...maybe the supervisor that made this decision should be voted off the island, it's the digital age, information spreads very very quickly, sometimes you have to embrace it and roll with it instead of being hostile towards individuals that are passionate about your product and give you a TON of free PR.
I absolutely love this channel and YOU GUYS are the reason I bought my 2019 Ford F-150 with 3.5 ltr Ecoboost last December! Boo-yah Ford! I love my truck too!
I am presently studying your videos and reviews because I am already Ford born and raised . I am using your objective reviews to help me choose the model Ford that I am seeking to buy in the next six months. I like your videos and plan on getting a camper as result of your review. Thank you.
I got my 15 F-150 because I thought it was the best vehicle ever made and Nathan and Roman’s reviews told me I made a great choice
"This is big enough for Roman & I to spoon." (edit cut) - Nathan 2020
Haha 3:23
Thanks to you guys I got my F150 2.7 eb in 2017 same model year.
I have watched TFL for a long time, this content is absolutely necessary when shopping truck models, and determining pros/cons and which trim you need. Please continue forever.
Just bought my 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat FX4 package on June 15th, after viewing multiple TFL:s Ranger vs. Tacoma UA-cam videos. I was leaning towards the Tacoma but bought the Ranger instead due to lots of positive reviews and comments from these TFL videos. Great job guys!
Your reviews really helped me decide to buy a 2019 f-150. Super happy with the purchase, your Ike gauntlet test helped me decide.
I don't make any truck related purchase(s) withing looking for a relevant TFL video. Period. Your content is top notch and some of the most educational material out there. Keep it up guys!
Your videos are what I based the purchase of my 2019 F250. It was the first brand new vehicle that I have ever bought.
Ford should invite you back guys cause this doesn't mean good for them. Especially considering how helpful you are on deciding what vehicles to buy and not to. Thnks TFL
Even if this happened I just can't turn my head around for another brand. Even if it stinks alot.
JM Colita agreed
I definitely was influenced by TFL, I watched every video on the 2019 F150 and later on the Ranger which I went on to buy both. The best non-bias reviews on the net. I use your fueling method everytime I fuel up for what ever rental or personal vehicle i am driving at the time.. Ford should reconsider because you get their product out there for all the consumers out there that want the truth and no outside influence for what the consumer is looking for in any particular model or make of truck or vehicle.. Not to mention what Mr. Truck does as well. Keep up the reviews.
i own an automatic 1988 F-250 7.3 idi diesel that gets about the same mpg... only difference is mine has about 75% less horsepower. love the honest reviews guys, thanks.
You guys do an amazing job reviewing, like u guys always "real world reviews" 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Dang I bought my 17 3.5tt fx4 f150 supercab because of TFL
I purchased my Ford Ranger exclusively from watching your video on when you received it at LAX and drove back. Great video that sold me on the truck!!
Hi T F L I watched your videos over and over I fully intended to purchase a Ford truck but your videos convinced me to purchase a f150 with a 3.5 EcoBoost so I did got a 16 lariat with the fx4 package with 502a package and a couple of extras and I love it. My reason for telling you this is to let you and Ford know I wouldn't have spent nearly as much money if it weren't for your reviews. Thanks for all you do!
Your reviews helped me decide on F250 xlt that I bought in May this year. Also on what trailer and hitch combo to get. Which I got the 20k lb hitch and 14k trailer.
You folks do us a very nice service
Thank you!
Now I want an F250 vs the tundra.
Tundra would win for sure...
@@Skulldude567 nah
@@raymondbishop2431 yep
@@Skulldude567 explain how
@@raymondbishop2431 u never seen a video where the tundra would pull a f250. It’s on UA-cam…
Here's what I don't like about my 2020 Tremor... The fit and finish, from a distance the truck looks amazing but when you get close there are multiple flaws. Here is most of them that I could find
1. Weird gaps on front bumper trim
2. Some sort of rubber gasket hanging from drivers side door handles
3. Rubber trim around inside of windshield not installed properly
4. There appears to be a blue film on the silver center console trim going into the dash (other SD owners have it too)
5. Front passenger fender flare has a large gap from actual fender
When Im paying $80k+ for a pickup truck the quality should be much better. You can't say "iTs A nEw TrUcK, tHeY aRe StIlL lEaRnInG hOw To BuIlD iT." Because the only new part here is the front bumper trim.
Get a RAM next time
They're all like that though! My 15 f150 was like that, my 19 1500 longhorn was like that and my current gmc sierra is like that. Wanna know what they all have in common?? They were built in America!
@@JohnDoe-nz6bk Think Dodge trucks are built in Mexico. Check the 17 digit VIN. The first digit denotes the country where the vehicle was assembled. 1 = United States; 2 = Canada; 3 = Mexico; J = Japan; etc.
Mike Marler my longhorn was built in Michigan. My Cummins was built in Mexico and that was one of the best trucks I've ever owned.
@TFLTruck @Ford #thankstfl last week I purchased a 2020 Ford F-350 Tremor because the the reviews from TFLTruck. They are an excellent source of information that explains the pros and cons of each make and model. Thank you. It was the Power Wagon/AT4/Tremor video that really help me with my purchase choice.
Your youtube shows helped me choose my 2019 2.7l f150 over the titan. Never would have considered a ecoboost until watching many of your videos.
Last truck was a nissan frontier.
TFL I actually bought my 2019 Ford F150 2.7L Ecoboost because of you guys. I enjoy seeing how your not biased to one specific vehicle and how you tell us the good and the bad of the vehicle. Ford should be happy you guys do reviews on many of their vehicles especially their main sellers which is the F-Series. You gave me an honest review which allowed me to make my choice simple in buying a Ford. A whole year has passed and I do not regret my buy because of the information you guys provided.
Thank you for all the years I’ve been watching this channel I send my customers to this channel when they have questions about their vehicle I tell them to watch a certain video that you have posted regarding this so absolutely I suggest vehicles to my customers based upon your findings I am a camper salesman and South Dakota now should we be upset at Ford for blocking you I don’t know it is your job to be a reporter so reporters report things Ford Must understand this it’s not your fault to report news now if you have an agreement that you won’t post something that should be discussed also if there’s something really important that should be looked at before releasing I’m not sure you should always post everything you know even though I want to see it
I watched lots of truck videos from you guys . I test drive both Chevrolet and Ram trucks but ended up getting a new 2018 Screw 3.5 EB XLT 5 1/2 box in 2017 based on your videos and Ike Gauntlet testing so yes Ford def has you to thank for my truck purchase!
I always use TFL for my vehicle research and good reviews #1 place to go!!
I got my 2019 Ranger in part due to your reviews. Shame on Ford leadership.
I've actually seen the new bronco on the road without any of the spy camo on it. They look pretty cool actually.
Try to get pictures.
Pictures or it didn’t happen.
Okay_Then have you seen actual pictures on Bigfoot and loch ness monster??? If so it’s possible he may seen the new Bronco.⁉️🚪👁👃🏻👁
Richard Nottelmann you know how hard it is to retrieve Bigfoot or Loch Ness monster information ℹ️?🚪👁👃🏻👁
I watch your videos before I bought my last 2 vehicle. You help me decide what I'm going to purchase, most recently was a 4Runner off-road premium... funny thing is I clicked on this video because I'm looking at buying a heavy duty/ super duty truck for towing
It’s kind of ironic that Ford cut you off. Your reviews helped me buy my first Ford ever! I’m 58. Ford, if you’re listening, invite these guys back. They do us all a valuable service.
By the way, I don’t like the satellite antenna location either! I have a Lance bed camper and need the music to tame the savage beast, inside that is!
Thanks guys! Great channel. Keep it up!
Good review guys
Omg never buying a new truck. I could see this thing getting hacked. Thanks for reminding me.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Your reviews are amazing and helped me decide on the truck I wanted and no it was not a Ford lol. I went with the Trail Boss LT 6.2
The GM 6.2L gas engine.....nice!!! But, I'm not a fan of the Chevrolet and GMC trucks.....because of the IFS axle. Although I did like how the truck went through some shallow depth mud trails as seen on some UA-cam videos. The G80 rear differential was OK. I do like the more rounded fender wheel well openings. GMC's still messed up in that regard. The wheel well openings on the GMC AT4 are ugly with the 45 degree angles...just not right for a round rim and tire. The Trail Boss would be better with electric lockers front and rear.....4.10 gears and larger 35 inch tires. The Trail Boss would look better with body color bumpers, especially in the front with the black grille.
I bought my 2013 ford ecoboost becuase of thier reviews and bought my wife a 2017 Ford escape because of them as well love the channel keep up the good work.
Good Morning My Good Friends Of The Fast Lane Trucks & God Bless You All & All Of You're Whole Families Today From You're Good Friend Timbo White
So, Ford Subaru'ed you.
Yes, your videos have definitely been informative and influential, as my girlfriend's new (to her) '17 F150 Lariat and my '20 F250 Tremor XLT I had special ordered...so, two Fords back to back based on real world reviews? I'd say that's a strong testament to TFL.
Been watching you guys for awhile . I have even become more interested as of late after you purchased the f250 with the Godzilla engine for I'm thinking of getting one in the future . I'm watching your channel to keep updates on the performance of that engine . Thanks guys for the videos! keep them coming .
as always TFL takes the high road. Great Review!!
Factory exhaust sounds just fine to me . Try plowing snow or towing heavy trailers for hours on end with a loud exhaust. No thanks !
Completely Agree...regarding the sound. However, I would prefer a true dual exhaust on the 6.2L and the 7.3L gas engines.
Even years later your reviews help me decide on products. Keep up the good work!
I look forward to your video’s every day. It’s a joy to watch guys give honest opinions (the good, bad and ugly) on all types of vehicles especially trucks. As someone already said , shame on FORD.
Honestly I bought my 2019 F250 because of all the reviews on this show.
How is the gas mileage?
James Nixon computer says 11.5 mpg with the following mods:
6.2L gas engine
K&N cold air intake
Magnaflow cat-back exhaust
Ready Lift leveling kit
35” Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Would the gas mileage be better if it was a diesel?
James Nixon not too sure, but people usually don’t buy this truck if gas mileage is a determining factor in my experience. Unless you’re doing some heavy duty towing on a weekly basis- the gas 6.2 is more than enough.
I can't believe it was 6 month go. Wow this pandemic got my time line messed up. Lol
@Buddy Dawson Hahaha lots of good thing going to come from this pandemic. Stay tuned.
Thanks for what you do, I was considering a super duty but have not pulled the trigger yet. I love your channels and your reviews. It is a shame big business is acting childish.
We just bought a F250 7.3 and yalls reviews helped a lot.
Your reviews ultimately led to my decision to buy the F-150 ecoboost. Sad to hear that Ford is acting in such a manner based on photos and information that was obviously available to the public. Right or wrong the reaction sounds harsh to me. BTW I do love the F-150's towing, power, and interior cab design over both Chevy and Dodge.
I absolutely take into consideration your reviews on trucks. My last 2016 Chevy 3500 HD Silverado DRW was based off of TFL. Im in the market again .. and Ford is a possibility this time around so trying to educate myself as much as possible. Thanks TFL guys.
Have you guys thought about aftermarket LED headlights or a larger mid ship fuel tank as upgrades. I switched to headlight revolution CSP mini in my f150. So much better than the candles I was used to.
Good review. Ford Super Duty is a great truck but I think currently RAM is ahead on a few levels.
Please name the different levels making Dodge better truck than Ford. I would appreciate your input and thoughts. Thanks!
@@15Jeep Cummins engine platform has been developed and tested with time. Ford hasn't built a good diesel since 7.3 (international). Appears like RAM has less issues with the fuel system. RAM's turbos serve longer. RAM's interior design, quality, attention to details and execution is unmatched. This is from experience, as I have owned Ford's 7.3, 6.0 and now Cummins, I wouldn't go back, at least not now.
@@VITALExplorer RAM is behind with thier 6.4L V8 it at lest should be 6.6L(400 cu.in.) for a Heavy-Duty pickup truck, Ford and GM have FCA beat in the naturally gas V8 department.
@@VITALExplorer I hear good things about the 6.7 Powerstroke
I disagree. My brand new ram 2500 tradesman window switch bracket will slide around in the door panel, and the clockspring has failed causing a ratcheting sound In the steering wheel. Wish I stayed with ford. Will go back likely.
TFL for many years is my destination for truck reviews.
Your testing of the 2.7 f-150 was definitely part of why i bought mine.
I wouldn't make a vehicle purchase without first seeing what TFL said about it. I bought my Ram and my Volvo Cross Country based on your reviews. You guys are the best in the business!
I purchased my 2017 F-150 based off of your reviews to include the Ike Gauntlet challenge. Truly unfortunate decision on Fords behalf.
I appreciate all that yall do. Shame on the blue oval.
I love you’re channel! Great info and you guys are fun and honest. I also I am mad at Ford for banning you guys!
By watching your reviews, a 2021, F250 with a 7.3 and 4.30 rear end appeared in my driveway. Coming out a diesel into a gas motor is an experience, but so far so good. Going to put it to the test by pulling a 34 foot, 14,500# 5th wheel over Donner Pass in the not to distance future. Will update.
This makes me feel good about the F350 Lariat I'm ordering, the negative aren't that bad.
Great Choice! The Lariat trim...with and without packages and options is very flexible and versatile. IMHO, the best value for the dollar.
If you tow a lot get the Lok-A-Loy 10 Grade 100 1/2” connecting link. It makes connecting trailer chains so much easier and better.
Please tell me your gonna slap a supercharger on it
Ryan, most likely a Banks tuner.
Carl, I tow a 5th wheel and may go with an Anderson hitch.
Wait a minute, Ford uninvited TFL? What the hell is their problem? Do they not realize how many Fords TFL has sold over the years? Sounds like something Subaru would do!
Im pretty sure the #1 selling pick up in the US will be just fine.
I must say, TFL is the only automotive journal I watch and absolutely appreciate the information from you in my car buying. I don't appreciate them pulling a channel(s) of your size at all but to be honest don't even look at ford anyway but that's just me.
You guys are the best and your reviews pursued me to my buying decision and I've saved money to buy a truck and now I'm hesitant to buy a Ford if that's how they treat honest reviewers like you guys who show us the good and the bad on a purchase that's very important to us truck guys
Ford isn't my option.. I have a dodge ram diesel 11 pmg loaded and 22+mpg empty
AL CAPPS 200 dollar oil change, 350 fuel filters and 80 dollar air filter every 15,000 miles. Def is 15 a gallon (all dealer). I started getting my Def attached pilot.
For HD diesels, I would go Ram.
The Super Duty was tested a while ago by Motor Trend and it managed to get 25 mpg during the testing.
John Doe There you go again with a bunch of BS. Oil change = $80 at home, fuel filter is less than $100, you do not need an air filter every 15k. It says check the air filter and replace if necessary. DEF at Walmart is $7.88 for 2.5 gallons. Even Blue DEF at Advance Auto is $13 for 2.5 gallons. Do you even really own a diesel?
AL CAPPS I had a 2016 ram 2500 mega cab limited Cummins. Its was one of the best trucks I've ever owned. My 15 f150 and 19 longhorn was the worst. My 20 gmc sierra elevation with the 3.0 duramax is getting up there. Talk about poor quality! 🤦♂️
I must say I have the Platinum Tremor pack, and its going to be supercharged in a few weeks procharged. Ford just are loosing honest persons and feedback.
Last year I traded in my 2016 RAM 1500 for a new one. I watched your videos to get a good idea of the competition and decided to stay brand loyal. I watch your videos regularly to learn more. I especially like your tests of diesel trucks. I want my next one to be a diesel, and based on your tests I might go for a GM next time. It will be two more years, but it is a big investment. You guys do better tests and reviews than anyone else. And I really liked your real-world rest of the Tesla Model X. I learned a lot from that. Thanks, guys for keeping it real!
I bought my Ford Tremor after watching many reviews of different trucks on your site. Thank you for all you do.
Ford needs to send you guys to see the Bronco!
This is big enough for Roman and I to spoon. Lmaoooo 🤣 🤣 🤣
I agree with everything you said. I recently did get a f150 to replace my ram because of you guys. I’m learning to accept the flaws in the truck but you guys did promote my purchase. I’ll be going back to ram after I put some miles on my king ranch. The interior quality doesn’t even come close to what I’m used to.
Good reviews guys. I’ve got a 7.3 XLT on order now, so your comments are very timely. In reference to your dislikes - some are legitimate and others questionable. I agree with the hitch, LED Standard lights, satellite antenna placement, and cheapening of the XLT trim. Questionable is the exhaust Decibels, tires, and fuel economy after mods.
Keep up the great reviews.
