ℹ️About the episode:
Now that we've put 14,000 miles on our 2019 Ford F450 over the last six months, we wanted to share some of the pros and cons, upgrades and mods. In this video, we discuss the numbers including towing capacity, GCVWR, fuel economy and all the upgrades. We talk about our B&W Companion Hitch, BaKflip Mx4, Weather Tech mud flaps and Airlift Suspension installed by the guys at Max-Bilt.

I don’t know why y’all don’t have 3 million subscribers yet... I’ve never followed more genuine, candid people, that completely compliment each other the way you two do!! I hope to meet y’all on the road one day. please keep the videos coming 👍🏻👍🏻
I couldn't have said this better 😊!
Yes great comment they are great! Great role models! Hahah 😂👍
Hi
I agree 💯👍. My wife and I look forward to watching these videos on a regular basis. So well done ✅
My wife and I are looking at getting our first Travel trailer next year. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos. I feel like we know you already and can relate to you very easily. Thanks for what you do!
Marc,
It was great to hear my wife Alex got to meet you at Grand Ole RV while we were in town from Atlanta for a day trip for work. We were talking how awesome it would be to meet our RVing influencers and certainly you all are incredible influencers!!! We took your advise and got started with a high end Popup and are excited to journey with my wife, 3 children and dog and #4 in January. I was excited my wife got to talk with you and I certainly was bummed that by the time I got back to camp you all were on the road again! Thanks for your encouragement and may the Lord continue to bless you all on your journey to keep your daydream!
Sincerely,
Ryan M. From Woodstock, GA
Yes, It was great to meet Alex, the kids (and the dog). Sorry I missed you. I mentioned to Trish how great it is that you guys got started and found a way to incorporate RV travel into your work schedule. Keep it up.
You guys rock! I’m not an “RV’r” but I look forward to your videos every Sunday because I learn something new every episode. Thank you for the excellent content. Best wishes to your family and safe travels!
This is the third time I’ve watched this episode in the last 2 years! I love your guys informational videos and that is how I first came across you guys while I was searching “how to” camper videos as my wife and I had just gotten into our first camper and were complete newbies. I got my wife hooked too and now we get to enjoy you guys every Sunday! Thanks for being a positive inspiration for all of us on the other side of the screen!
I am never disappointed in any of your videos. The review of the F450 was excellent. Learning about TechNet was exciting as we tow a jeep behind out class A. Thanks for a great Sunday evening video.
Glad you guy took JD's advise and get the F-450. It was the right choice. Like all the mods that you done too. Thanks for sharing Mark and Trish.
I had same problem with my flip cover so I used some reflective tape centred on inside of cover and centred on king pin so I can see both in my rear view mirror while backing up.Always great video safe travels.
I was a ford super duty guy for years. I had every generation of them until 2016 I switched to ram when I saw ford was not going to make a mega cab version for the 2017 redesign. We have a 40 toy hauler we drag cross country and my kid was very uncomfortable in the back seat of my 2012 f350. So I bought a 2016 ram 3500 srw 4x4 megacab diesel. And I will say it is the first truck I really don't want to get rid of. Normally I would be trading my truck in about now but I really like this ram. I will say my 6.7 ford felt like a hot rod driving it around, but my ram feels like a rig and tows like a freight train. But the only reason I left ford and went to ram was for reclining rear seats. We did just buy a 2019 f150 for my wife and it does have more room then my 2012 f350 did but my kid still prefers the megacab. So for now towing the mega cab works best for towing long distance.
Yup RAM 3500 Dually is the better choice.. Mega Cab is a Beauty!! I had a 2016 Mega cab dually diesel limited with the Aisiin transmission and absolute best truck out there.
Good Evening Marc & Tricia ☕️! Thats what we call a Cowboy Cadillac and honestly for the F-450, your MPG isn't bad considering the weight you're hauling. 🇺🇸
Best informative video you have done in ages! It was great info for us in that thinking of a new truck stage. Thank you Mark!
Love your videos, they are high end TV quality, picture and sound...and actors!!! Great job every time. Wonderful family.
Great review. I love my 2017 F450. I use the Ford add on camera for the trailer as well as their TPMS for my 5th wheel. I also recommend the Gator/Retrax roll-up bed cover. Rolls up into a smaller box than your flip style and I can see the hitch easily.
Trish and Marc, you are both looking great! Trimmer, something! Love the video and all the information shared. Thank you! Have a great week!
11:17 "Time to share some bells and whistles", while the bells and whistles are chiming. LOVE IT!!
What a great review. Marc is a great teacher😊
Great informational video. Love KYD!
That rig is just so long! Love what you two share!
Trish gets a dog and you get a F450. Sounds like a win win to me.
I wish that would have worked for me... my wife got three dogs... are there 3 new trucks sitting in my driveway? Nope lol
That's a great deal!
@@AdventureEndeavor I am trying to work out a sailboat deal with my wife :)
@@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids that would also be an even trade lol hahaha 👍👍

Great review Marc! If you remember, back on your stop from Alaska, we had coffee and a good chat, and you saw 'my' F450 King Ranch in Vancouver! Was great to meet you two, and you've come a long way in a short time, with having the cabin now, and the F450 & toy hauler, and I'm loving it! I've sold my F450 now, and moved on to a Diesel pusher, but truly miss my pickup, as this is the first time without a pickup truck since my early 20's! I found my truck to be super comfortable on long trips, and as you mentioned, the bells & whistles help big time. Cheers to you both, and be safe on your road trip of a lifetime! :)
Hey Dale. Good to hear from you. Yes, I remember waving goodbye to your 450 like yesterday. Funny clip.
Thank you both. Safe travels.
Mark, thank you for such a great video highlighting everything about the F-450. I was hoping you would make this type of exact video soon and you delivered. It was a great mix of truck features, pros vs. cons and the technical side also. Looking forward to another video similar to this one about the big RV too.
I have a 2017 F450 equipped with the dual smart airbag system and the XL7500 airbags. When the system holds air (I’ve been plagued with leaks) I absolutely love it. There are two separate air compressors which automatically adjusts for uneven left to right leveling requirements. I haul a Lance 1172 truck camper and haul a trailer behind for the toys.
Love your rig and your family! Keep Your Daydream going. Let us know when you decide to downsize (you will once all the kids are gone). Truck camping is the way to go!
We looked at a white F450 Platinum Limited last night and loved it. We are gearing up for retirement here soon, and the F450 is our go to truck to pull anything we can find to pull. Right now it's looking like a River Stone Legacy 39FKTH. And Max, our 110 pound German Shepherd, has PLENTY of room back there in the back seat area with the back seats in the folded up position. Just a great unit, and what we need to get the job done. See you out there soon sir!!!
Absolutely love our F450! Looking forward to our new Momentum 395 and pulling it with our 2019 450.
I love these “equipment” reviews. It’s educating me about the truck I currently have and the truck I want to get next.
Love this kind of episodes... thank you!
We considered a 450 from our 17 250 but found a same model year F350 Platinum with 9k miles. Walked out the door financing the same as the 250 so it worked out. The extra towing is going to be nice, now we need to find our new 5th wheel. Good truck and great video!
I love my 450 but I have done some suspension upgrades as well as tires, those 16ply had to go! As far as gas tanks S&B make a 70 gallon that fits right in the stock location that my next upgrade for next camping season! Great review you pretty much covered everything plus that year like all the years have award winning horsepower and torque “Go Ford”
Love your 70 gallon tank. I'm going long distances. Need much better gas milage and atleast 2to3decent sized tank's. Want safety+economy. There's a market crash coming. I'm going to be prepared! Praying for the legal President!
Bought this same truck (platinum trim} because of you several months ago. I love this truck! Love the wide track front axle and the DRWs. Much more maneuverable than even my 2018 GMC 2500 SRW 6-1/2' bed. I get 17mpg avg and 12mpg when towing my 5th wheel. 48 gallon tank with 750 mile range!
I actually remove my tailgate when I tow the 5th wheel. Way easier for hooking up. I use a tailgate net instead.
What the hell just happened? I watched a truck video for a truck I don't need. Only you, KYD, only you could make me pay attention to every second of this.
Lol
Nice 450!!! It's needed for that massive rig y'all have. Great video!
Happy to see your enjoying your F-450. I personally own a F-150 and I'm more then happy with my Ford.
I liked my F150 too. Great turning radius on those too!
The F150 will probably be my next truck as well....so long as I can pull it behind my motorhome!
Another fine production....you guys are the best!
Strong 💪 review. Great info. Fantastic tips. Thanks. Oh, and I like the gray ball cap, too.
Thank you for your review. We have been trying to decide between the 350 and 450 for awhile now and this has helped tremendously. We always love your videos, again thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Im a huge Ram fan (Ive owned and daily driven multiple trucks from the big three) and waited for the new Gen 5 3500s to come out. However, after much research and considerable self doubt, I went with the more sensible and capable F450.
Looking good guys... love the 6.7 so far!
As always your videos are always on point!
Marc I'm digging the hat sir, need to get another one and maybe even a spare lol. Been waiting for this video since the purchase lol.
Marc, I was a professional driver for nearly twenty years. Would you consider a visible piece of tape [set vertically] that acts as a visible guide when backing. Essentially the vertical reference is an extension of the king pin taped to the nose of your toyhauler. An additional piece of tape lies flat on your cover aligned with the neck [coupler point] and the two strips lined up in the rear view mirror or camera create one continuous line. Craig in Kansas
I use yellow tape for my rig
E-trailer is great! So far I've bought a tonneau cover, Weather Tech mats, and mirror extensions from them. And the best upgrade of all was that little piston for lowering the tailgate. Excellent service. Can't recommend highly enough.
We love e trailer also, have bought many things for our rig!
I agree! I have been very happy with my etrailer partnership.
Another great video guys thanks for all you do.
Great video, great couple, great trailer, awesome truck.
Wife and I just bought a Ruby Red 2019 F450, came out of a 17 F350. Loved the F350, but this F450 is amazing.
One thing though Mark, I noticed you went to a truck wash. Be very careful doing that. We just traded our 2013 Heartland Road Warrior that we loved because it started delaminating on every panel and every slide. Started doing this after we regularly took it to a truck wash.
We now have a 43' Jayco Pinnacle, but I still miss that Road Warrior.
Keep up the videos, they're great.
I have a 2019 f350 platinum and love it! Mine is a crew cab long bed dually as well.
One thing I wanted to mention that I think you would be interested in. Ok so the spot lights on the mirror are awesome, but unfortunately they turn off as soon as you hit like 3 or 5 mph. Well, no problem!...just do a quick UA-cam search for "2019 f350 mirror spot light modification." You will find several vids showing how to do the very simple modification and it is definitely something I recommend. Makes a big improvement! I turn them on as soon as I pull on to a dark road and I can see so much better, especially when I'm looking for a turn on a road that doesnt have any street lights. Great video
Love the 450 but have to go with the 350 dually for the payload. I like truck campers. Great video! The wife doesn't understand my joy watching the video. Glad yours does.
Bom dia !!!!
Essa F450 é sem dúvidas, a melhor Pickup do Planeta !!!!
Linda demais.
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal.....
Abraço do Brasil.....
Great idea about the air bags on the new rig. In 2000 I purchased an F450 that I purchased from Frauhauff (the long freight trailer building company). They purchased the F450 directly from Ford as a cab and chasey,and then put a custom fiberglass towing bed on it, It was a bit of all-right. It had air bags and a switch on the dash that when turned on would raise the rear end and then when turned off would lower the rear end. It was really nice when hitching up or unhitching the fifth wheel. I found out later that Frauhauff had done this thinking that the RV tow vehicle bed industry was something to look into.
Nice review! One thing though, you commented that your 5th wheel hitch was more or less permanently mounted with the Ford puck system. The puck system is designed for easy removal. Remove two safety clips, rotate the locking arms 90 degrees, lift the hitch and remove. So easy.
Yep f450! Got one myself a few years back. I love the look on people’s faces when I can make a u turn and don’t have to backup and take two shots at it or run the curb to make it. Those poor dodge and Chevy owners.
Ford 250 long bed creates the same problem-2002 7.3-not easy to make a u turn.
I love this family. Such good people.
Love the F 450 as Functional Work Horse of a Truck that doesn’t disappoint and looks Great Doing what it’s capable of doing. Another great grassroots episode, in my youth Disney was the go to Sunday Night program, but now ”Keep Your Daydreams Alive” is my go to Sunday Night Program.
WOW great video, looking to get my camper soon learned a lot from you two. THANK YOU !
Awesome video and great info on the truck and all the mods! Thanks
Trish looking great! Glad ya'll like the F-450.
Great job guys. Ceramic coating all the way,,, you will love it. Had our rig coated and now the cars and they all always look great and we rest easy knowing they are protected. Expensive but worth it. (Find a reputable/certified application outfit)
That truck looks brand new. Fantastic!
Great video! Always looking for upgrade ideas. Safe travels.
I use the back middle headrest to line up my 5th wheel hitch too.
Works like a charm.
There is a better 3rd brake light camera aftermarket you can get to solve the shitty ford camera issue.
Thanks so much for all your information. Funny little details like where are you going to wash this are actually important to me! Mod info is great too. Didn't think it wouldn't have a TPMS!
Dee Gee Johnson can’t use most drive through places. I’m fine with that, I park our F450 at the far parking spots and get some exercise.
So you are really glad you listened to JD at BTRV when choosing the truck. He really made a big emphasis on that shorter turning radius vs the F350!
Very helpful information, I just purchased a F 450 today ill be on the road with you guys shortly..
Love this review. I agree with your love of the wheels on the 450!
Except those stupid cap what the hell do they do besides nothing
Glad to see you’re having fun while waiting for your home to be finished! And bonus that it’s not totalled 😀
Good looking F450. I love the color you got. Don't know if you know it's available, I got the F350 Dually with the camper package. Comes with the wide F450 front axle and fendors, and I got the 4:30 gears too, kinda wish I had opted for the 4:10s for a little better MPG. With the 6.7L engine we get, the torque and HP is more than enough for the 4:10s. The bonus is the price of tires of the 450 vs 350. I had a 2008 F450, now I have the F350. Tire prices are a little less and the tires are not as stiff. Love the camera system you opted for.
I found your VLOG at the end of season 1. Went back and watched them all. You give some great tips and still make a lot of rookie mistakes. It makes your show honest and fun to watch. Keep up the good work.
I love your channel! Since you guys travel a lot! I would recommend protecting your truck´s and trailer´s paint. I would protect the leather, the paint, and windows with Ceramic Coating. You will see the difference!
Just got a 2018 f250 diesel and love it!
You really did your homework, awesome video and wow what a sweet rig.
Great video, I loved the info you gave especially when I’m looking to by a dually for transporting cars and I’m a big fan of Ford but still won’t mind going with Dodge or GMC. Thanks for the info & a real point of view.
I love my 2017 f450 and yes the trim makes the price difference, I have a fully loaded platinum. Lol we also upgraded from a 37' travel trailer to a 2020 Keystone raptor toy hauler either a side deck and yes the bakflip mx4 does block the view but I installed the reese 20k gooseneck pin box from btbrv and I also use my headrest as a guide but it's so easy now. Can't wait to do our midwest tour. Wish you still had the setup, you covered everything I needed to know about travel trailer.
Nice video. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
It’s a beautiful truck, l love it
A tip to help you back onto your hitch, an assistant will make the job easy and will take no more than 2 minutes to complete. Get a piece of electricians tape (or other sticky tape) about 1 inch long, cut it into strips about the width of a matchstick, you'll need only three 1 inch long matchstick width pieces. When hooked up to the 5th wheel place one matchstick strip in the centre of the RV at the level of the rear view mirror. Then, sitting in the drivers seat, use the rear view mirror and get an assistant to place one strip on the inside of the rear window with you telling them where to place it so that it lines up exactly with the strip on the RV. Last, place one strip on the rear view mirror, again lining it up with the other two so that when you look in the mirror all strips are lined up and appear as one, thats it. Any time you back up if the three strips appear as one the pin and jaws are 100% aligned, no guessing.
I have 4:10 in my '17 F-350.. Previous truck ('16 F-350 w/max tow) did have the 4:30 gears and wide axle.. I do miss that. BUT - the F-450 now does not have the payload capacity I need. The camper I'm considering has a pin wt. of 5K, and the F-450 only has 5320# of payload. With full fuel and 2 adults, I'm overloaded. My current truck has payload capacity of 6300 or so.. So I have to keep my present truck. But the 2020 F-450 looks to be one helluva unit....just doesn't have the payload capacity.. Some newer car wash places now have dually capability.. Thank God.. You do a great job on your videos.. Thank you.
You're right. A F350 has a higher payload. That's a heavy camper!
Great job well done!
Keep the rubber on the road.
You guys are so informative.... thanks
Excellent information 👍
2019 f550 here and have 4.10 rear gear. Ordered it that way.
Another great review! I’ve searched for and watched your video in the F-250 upgrades as well! I have a F-350 (2018) and I am considering a fuel tank upgrade similar to what you installed.
Video very informative I just bought a used F3 50 duly diesel 6.0 2005 but a lot of miles on it but I dig it and and you seem like cool people, thanks for the video peace.
I like this guy. Good stuff. Thank you for all the info.
Awesome vid guys~ :)
I test drove a F-250 recently, the turning radius was the first thing I noticed. My Tundra does a good job in tight quarters and backing up a 29' RV trailer.
That's one sweet rig 👍👍
I love Trish’s glasses totally LENNON like !!!!!!
Awesome review !
Thanks for doing this. I was just thinking to my self I would love an update o how you like the truck.
F450s are great! Glad you've liked yours! Happy camping my friends.
Big Truck Big RV do happen to know if the sharper turning radius is a Ford 450 exclusive or if the Chevy and Ram equivalents are comparable to the Ford 450?
@@adamton7274 ram 4500 has the wide track axle with sharp turn radius but you can't get a traditional bed. Gm you have to step up to medium duty 4500 to get that as well which also doesn't have a standard bed option and is more commercial style truck.
@@gagt5spd thanks!
I guess that makes sense why I rarely see a Ram/Chevy 4500 towing a 5th wheel those custom beds would add alot of cost while the Ford is plug and play
@@adamton7274 yes but now all the 3500 trucks are 35,000lbs plus towing capable so unless you absolutely need yea wide track front axle there's no reason for the f450 or the 4500s.
We love our 2019 450 (Platinum)!
I went wth the Reese 26.5 hitch for the puck system. Upgrades include the F1 backflip (we had one on our Ram too), weathertech floormats, and window visors. Air ride is coming soon too. Great minds think alike.
Did you have any issues finding insurance for your 450? Our insurance company (Allstate) which we've had over 30 years are telling us they will not insure the 450.. I called State Farm, their telling me they will not either. Our 350 is not an issue. Each of them is saying I need commercial insurance which is very expensive.. Have you experienced any of these issues?
@@Dominator70 No trouble at all. We have Liberty Mutual. This may be coming up as an issue because the insurance companies you're talking to believe that you have a commercial vehicle, and indeed the F450 may have to be registered as such depending on the state you live in. However, if they know that it is the F450 pick up and not a chassis cab that may make a difference. They should be able to see that when they run the Vin. Idaho requires that I license at a higher weight commercial truck "not for hire" but insurance is no problem.
@@justinotherig Thank you for your insight. I will be contacting liberty mutual. Stay safe and enjoy!
Don't apologize for it. U deserve it
We haul campers all the time for a living. Whether I'm empty or loaded, I love the Blue Beacon truck wash
Awesome video!! Ive got rhe same bed cover and have had it for 5yrs. They are great but when closing the lids try not to pull up with opening cable. They will work the screws out of the lids in time. Ive had to replace all my screws with bigger size. Other than that the bed covers are great and worth it.
Great honest review! We will probably go Ford again when we upgrade, but most likely stick with the 250 with all the bells and whistles :)
I have the same truck. After owning 150's, 250's, 350's, going to a 450 over a 350 is a no brainer for just a few more grand. The advantage of the sharper turning in such a long truck can't be overstated. Throw in larger brakes, larger axles, commercial grade wheels and tires, etc it just makes sense. Just upgrading a 350 to 19.5 Alcoas and commercial tires makes up the difference in price by itself. I personally like the 4.30 gears. Without pushing the truck very hard I tow 24k lbs up steep Colorado passes at 45 mph with big rigs and other doing 15-20 mph. 65 mph is at exactly 2000 rpm in mine, right at max torque, so unless you run over 75 it's really not spinning that hard. I bought air bags because I had them on all my other trucks but never installed. Just didn't need them. (Still run onboard air with 5 gallon tank) You can get the ford tailgate assist for the same price and it goes inside the bed wall so you don't see it. My favorite mod is a 60 gallon fuel tank toolbox combo. Sits below bed rails. With a total of 105+ gallons even when your towing you looking at 1000 mile range. Then every stop isn't at a truck stop. 44' triple axle toy hauler with full living quarters, Jeep in the garage with plenty tools, etc. Plenty water on board and genset. Pulls it with ease. They are amazing trucks. Just to add unless you get a commercial version with no bed, which are detuned, all 450's are four door, long bed, 4.30 gears, and 4X4 standard.... Thanks for the video and stay safe!
For a camera to help with the kingpin, JD of BTBRV did an install where he put in a camera in the bed of his F450 to help him with getting everything lined up. Might have to go back a bit through his videos to find it, but it's there.
I have the same bed cover, and similar hitch. I too could not see the pin lining up until I got these: Reese Towpower SoloHitch Alignment System. Once done, the magnet is strong enough to put on the side of the hitch. Works great.
yup.. diggin it for sure! nice ride for a 5th wheel
The part of the F-450 I love the most is it looks bad to the bone! #KYD
There is an upgrade for the gear ratio. Look into an aftermarket overdrive case that would go in after the transfer case (only use in 2wd) and it will give your truck another 20% overdrive.
Great job on the channel, my wife and I really like these real world reviews and suggestions.
Great review! I’m going to go with the F350 dually. My 5th wheel has a max weight of 15000lbs but my Northernlite 9.6 Truck Camper loaded will require a payload of approx 4300 lbs. The turning circle is a great feature of the 450 but we also want to be somewhat comfortable in an empty truck. Likely going to get the 2020 (just sold my srw F350) with the new 10 speed and I’m waiting to hear more info on the new 7.3 although I agree the resale on the 6.7 is stupid good. My 2017 F350 with the 6.7 cost me only $6000 dollars over the 3 model years. Thanks again for taking the time to do what you do....Ian
Thanks for this. I was wondering why jump from the 250 to the 450. Why not a 350?
Super jealous guys. Weve put 100,000 on our gas burner since going full time 1 year and 6 months ago. Needless to say we like to travel lol but having a diesel would sure help on those hills. Good review love your channel!
