    Ordered a 7.3 350 Drw in Feb picked it up in April ans ir went back to the dealer literally 2 weeks after I picked it up. ALL and I mean All the lights would stay on after I shut it off and walked away. Stayed on till the battery went dead. Took a week ans the found the light control module was bad. Replaced and no issues. At 6k and no other issue . I like the 7.3 . Mine is an xlt and I added some of the lariat options. I think it’s a keeper.

    New truck prices are insane... if your using it for a daily driver, the mpg just seems insane horrible. very nice truck though. My 6.7 I drive daily can get 17-18 in town, then 23-24 on the interstate unloaded. but the prices on all of them are just ridiculous, I believe FORD is intentionally marking this stuff up to subsidize their electric. I don't think the chip shortage is as legit as they claim.

    Excellent! -- QUESTION -- You were about to say that your MPG would be better on the highway but you changed conversation. Can you tell what your mpg would be on highway at 55 mph and at 50 mph? Would love to know that as most people give the MPG at 75 and I was told that there would be a huge difference. What about with the 3:55 gears.. any idea what the mpg would be at those spreads? Thanks a lot!

    • @WanderingWeekends

    For anyone in the market for a HD gasser. I'd recommend giving the independent front suspension 2024 Chevy/GMC 2500HD 6.6L L8T w/ the 'Allison' a chance. I've owned a 2022 F-250 7.3L Lariat w/ 10R140 and now a '24 GMC 2500HD AT4 w/ Allison 10L1000. I definitely think the GM rides smoother, powertrain is quieter and overall gives a more refined feeling. For what its worth, I've been Ford since 1998 but I'd buy the '24 GMC again for sure!

    Just updated from a 20 xlt with 6.2 to a 24 xlt with 7.3…. Haven’t towed yet, but can definitely feel seat of pants difference. The 6.2 was ok, but could really tell there was a heavy camper behind it in the mountains of WV. Hoping the 7.3 and 10 speed make it better. (Camper is 34’ and 8500lbs) so within 6.2 territory.
    Anyways great info video, and helped me make the leap to the 24.

  • @JohnSmith-ev1sm
    @JohnSmith-ev1sm Рік тому +5

    There is no AI with the parking brake; whenever you use the zoom for the trailer view, the truck knows at that point you're trying to hitch up and applies the parking brake. That's nice, but ideally the parking brake would apply every time you drop into park regardless of hooking up or not. You're stopping, in park, truck can't/shouldn't move anyway, just apply the brake automatically. My ram works that way though it can be turned off I don't see why somebody wouldn't want it to auto apply. I've used handbrakes and parking brakes every time I park (like we're supposed to) for like 30 years now so having it automatically set instead is just one less thing to think about.

    That constant resetting of the 12" display is a common problem. I owned a 21 F-150 and now a 22 F-150 and they both had the issue you talk of. Both also had a problem with changing radio stations on their own. The 22 has a random problem with the bluetooth connection and my phone. Often incoming phone calls are so scratchy sounding I have to hang up and call the person back. Seems like each time Ford does an over the air update to the system new issues arise. Both pickups were back to the shop over these issues but were never fixed. It is aggravating but still hoping Ford gets the software issues fixed as I have a 23 F-150 ordered. Good luck with yours.

It did the same thing you’re getting, holding down the power and fast forward will reset it sometimes I’d do it 2 times in a day. The last straw was when it somehow forgot I had a trailer attached after pulling away from a rest stop, and had a chair fall of from camper in front of us went to brake and swerve and where were my brakes? I had no trailer brakes.
    Few weeks later it happened again pulling out of storage, had done the whole set up screen froze and no trailer brakes pulling up to a light 55mph. Reset the screen and it was fine. Traded it in following weekend. 😅

      A few months ago, was reading it and found out it had the 10kGVRW upgrade, 4.30 axles which make this a 15K max towing capacity truck. I was under wrong impression it had the 3.73 axles.

    So when you get in the truck does the menu on the speedo screen come up every time? Also have you had issues with the collision assist come on when pulling in a parking spot or very slow crawling traffic? It will apply the break out of the blue.. I have a few other issues with my King Ranch.

    Very nice truck. I followed you very closely when you went from the diesel to the 7.3L. I ended up ordering my '21 F350 XLT with a 7.3l gasser. NO REGRET's ! I was going to get a F250 but could not get it with a 3.73 rear. My options were 3.55 or 4.30. For $1700 I went to the F350 & gained 1k# load cap & 3.73. Well worth the $$$ Since 90% of my miles are towing a 8400# tt I'm really glad I did. I've had the 3.55 before. Empty it was fine, but towing it was just not working for me. Nut for nut; bolt for bolt F250 vs F350 are identical except the overload spring & rear gear option. I installed wheel well liners, shorty antenna, dampening strut to the tailgate, Weather teck's..

      Very fair point. I do like to point out a few things about the gifts.
      1. Sometimes when folks use their own money they feel the need to defend the product OR have unrealistic expectations from the product. Having nothing invested I feel like I can give a bit better perspective.
      2. I've done a few vids blasting gifts I have received... haha.
      3. Many of the videos I do with the freebies are simply to introduce you guys to a new, quality product. Everyone's tastes and preferences are different. I don't want to limit the channel to only things I find useful. If its good quality at a fair price I am happy to introduce it.
