Every Ford truck I have ever had has been able to delete the seatbelt notification. My ‘02, ‘05 F150 my ‘10 F250 and my current 2000 Excursion all had the ability to silence the seatbelt notification. That feature and the code to unlock the doors is the reason I only buy Ford trucks.
Honestly you don’t realize how nice that code unlock is until you own a vehicle with it! Can’t count the amount of times I’ve stupidly locked my key in my 2009 MKX. Simply input the code and you’re in. Also very convenient to purposely lock your key in your car for the random situations where it’s smarter to do so.
@@Alborn30 My ‘02 F159 didn’t have the keypad to unlock the door and I lost my keys riding my quad. If I had the keypad I would have just locked the keys in the truck. It was that day I decided I would never have a truck without it.
Ford deserves every sale in the world just for how easy it is to turn off the seat belt minder 💯
And securicode is amazing, I give it to friends and neighbors all the time to get stuff out of the truck.
The more tech less reliability over time Congratz great dealership. Marketing video
After owning 2 excursions with click the seat belt button to shut off the dinger, my expedition won’t do it and that is annoying.
The Tremor is a really nice looking truck with a lot of great features... but it will rock your pocketbook like a 8.0 tremor. Can't justify spending $100k on a pickup.
As a 60 year old with hip arthritis, I use the tail gate step almost daily.
John Ross loves all this technology on the truck. How long before he walks around wearing that apple vision?
I used to think the same thing about that tailgate step. I lost a leg in a hit and run motorcycle accident a few months ago. Gives me a whole lot more love for that step! Can't lift my prosthetic up high enough without it.
And this will never be used for anything other than Walmart and target, no truck is worth 100k no ram ford or GM truck
Let’s be honest. The primary reason people buy trucks like this is for bragging rights and for show. This truck could be unusable as a truck and people would still buy it.
@@brian5o I think it’s ugly as hell too, I like the RAM but I’m not paying that for a LDS
You can say that about most sportcars, supercars, etc. Most owners wont track them ever. Most will rarely even go over 110 Mph. The companies make these vehicles for people to actually use their capabilities, people just choose not to. Even with Wranglers, Broncos, and 4Runners, most owners will NEVER off road them. But they COULD if they wanted to
@@BossDogg14 every super car owner I’ve seen uses it for its intend purpose, and most jeeps go off road all the time, broncos, slow runners, and this will be parked at target bc a women drives it
Wrong. ‘But even when they are used for that…..so what?! I’m happy for folks that have these. They are fantastic!
I'll stick with my 1972 F-250 Camper Special. No electronic stuff to break.
Eh, I have that too 🍻
Wonder what happens when those running board motors get a few years old
and get filled with Road Salt and Grime 🤔
They will fail like they always do but most likely, the kinds of people who buy these types of trucks will have sent it down the road long before that happens.
The kinds of people who buy $100,000 trucks are not the kinds of people who are willing to drive a 3, 4, 5 year old truck.
@@brian5othey are usually the types that don't get mud on their trucks either
Don't forget the mud. It's a bitch to unhook the connector ends
No issues on my '14 yet.
You just wash them, I crack the front doors and spend about 30 seconds cleaning the hinges at the car wash every time I wash my truck. They’ll last forever if you care for them. 💯
I had AMPs power steps back in like 2010 as soon as they came out, I’m sure they’re still working fine today. Power steps are an absolute must.
Honestly, and this comes from a guy who works in technology, this truck is the poster child for everything that is wrong with modern cars.Too much fluff, too much completely unnecessary garbage. A truck should be a truck and should have no features outside of basic things. Its really just pointless. And trucks are WAY too big and tall nowadays. Its absolutely ridiculous. Everyone has their thing, but this kind of vehicle is virtually everything I hate about modern cars and trucks.
Agreed! And I call all that fluff “made to break “ and it won’t be cheap to fix, all you need in a truck is AC and crank up windows, if you need cameras to drive a truck go drive a car!
I dont really care for tech in cars but from what I can see in this vid this one of the better examples of how to do tech in a vehicle plently of physical controls all basic functions can be done by pressing buttons and not getting distracted and in the end you don't have to option all this tech if you don't want it. Try anything from VW's ID range where even for the most basic functions you have to do a deep dive into a screen with the most nonsensical menus and submenus and full of very unintuitive touch sensite controls
It's all about the "look at me, I'm Special".
Exactly you guys couldn't be more right a bunch of unnecessary features that will eventually break and cost a fortune to fix. Topped off by the dumbest feature of all on new Vehicles Auto start and stop.
I mean they still make those trucks too, and I buy them! XL 4x4 V8 gas regular cabs. Workhorses with taillights that do not cost $700 when my guy cracks one. I keep trucks working for decades, these are a joke.
Much better than the scrapping vehicles vids you've been doing. I enjoy the repair and tech vids you've done and this info vid about my favorite truck is great. I wish I could afford a truck like that. I'll be staying with the lower option pickups most likely for the rest of my life. Can't afford a $100,000 pickup no matter what. I can't imagine how much the insurance plus finance payment costs.
he can't afford it either.
the tailgate step is super useful for loading dirtbikes in the truckbed
My wife won't buy a Ford WITHOUT the tailgate step! She is 5 foot everything is too tall.she uses our camper a lot she absolutely needs the step. It is very useful!
lol. I’m 5’9” 190 lbs. work construction… the step isn’t gimmicky, it helps a lot getting into and out of the bed. Takes 3 seconds to deploy and 3 to close up.
They limit them because of the tire rating. If you have higher speed rated tires I'm sure they raise the limiter. Or at least that's how they did it 25 years ago when all the high-speed rated tires started to come into the market.
How much does the dealer pay to make videos? Might not be a bad side hustle.
Nothing lol… I wanted this truck, they let me take what I want 🍻
I do love the interior color on the seats!👍👍
I've been a "Ford Guy" for nearly 4 decades and while I absolutely love the F250 in this trim with the Tremor package - I just can't seem to find it in my heart (or budget) for $100k on a truck. In the past few years you couldn't count on someone else taking the arse kicking driving it off the lot then scooping up a deal 18-36 months later - those days may be coming back but for now (truck) prices are still holding.... If I had to buy a truck today - it would be between a Ford F250 and a RAM - the last 1/2 ton truck was going to be a RAM (in 2018) but the sales folks didn't "show up" when I went looking with money in my account to spend - so Ford it was.
Lmao funny you mentioned it because I’ve gotta remind the nephew once again that an F250 platinum 4x4 (not even an FX4) with street tires is NOT meant to be a serious Off Road vehicle as he’s sunk my brothers F250 in mud up to the axles yet again 🤦♂️ I guess he didn’t learn his lesson when he got it stuck for two days last year
Had a 2015 F150 Platinum. when the aluminum first came out, incredible truck! over 100k Miles with no problems, i was a car fanatic kid with magazines stacked to the ceiling closet, along with being a Chevy family my entire life. and said i would NEVER own a Ford. well...lol....The new F150's are the best vehicle's I've ever driven, other favorites...Land Rovers, BMW 3 series, Tesla, Porsche 911. buy one you wont regret it. ;-)
Be honest, how much work or repair has been done to your new truck?
My 2019 Ram 3500 with 150K miles has had ZERO repairs needed.
I think Ram probably has the most dependable trucks out there right now and they’re damned nice. My neighbor just purchased a 2023 Ram 1500 Limited.
GM has transmission issues and Ford’s quality in general is a mess. I love Fords and would never buy one now.
Ram is where it’s at. I’ve actually been trying to talk my uncle into buying one.
The owner of my place of employment has had his fully loaded 23 RAM back for ongoing problems numerous times since day one. He still loves the truck but gets annoyed with how much it has been at the dealer instead of in his garage as his daily driver.
I haven’t had to do one thing to the new one, it’s had 2 oil changes and that’s it 💯
@@brian5o my bros dodge ram pickup is in the shop right now getting the exhaust manifold bolts done...i think its a 2016 or 17
This was a fantastic epsiode 47 min long!!!!!!!!!!
Ford must have hired a GM engineer because most of the complaints that JR has about his 2022 that got fixed on the 2023 were already done right on my 2019 Silverado
GM didn’t update the 3/4 ton interior until 22 if I remember right. The 1/2 tons always get the cool stuff first.
You’re right, I’m referring to my 1/2 ton. On my truck, I can slam the shifter down and it doesn’t go past D, (by the way, in a truck I love old school column shift rather than console shifter or buttons or especially dial) it has power up and down tailgate, heated steering wheel button on the steering wheel.
I’ve watched a lot of your videos. I don’t think that I’ve ever seen you this happy.
I just looked at a Tremor today, huge wheels, Power Stroke, Lariat 92k. Tremor pk was 4k. 35" wheel I think.
Must have been a 24? This one is listed at 23 (with 4k miles on it) 🍻
@@WatchJRGo I believe it was a 2024. I've never seen you so excited about anything.... It is a sweet truck, so is yours.
WOW! The ability to touch a button on the door handle and it locks and you can touch the inside of the handle to unlock! Just INCREDIBLE Ford is incorporating technology that is AT LEAST 10 years old because I have that SAME feature on my 2014 Audi A6. Sorry, Ford... it's really hard to be impressed by technology that old.
Fords actually had the “buttons to unlock/lock” since 1980! With the convenient little number pad no key needed!
I’m talking about adding labels and making it ergonomic… all of my trucks have keyless go back to like 2015 🍻
I have an 08 Audi S5 that has touch lock/ unlock handles, why he’s making it out to be amazing is odd, this kind of tech is available in almost every new car as well, it’s not Genius Ford thinking..in fact most of the tech in the truck is available on much cheaper cars.
@@raypayne2228 I’M TALKING ABOUT THEM ADDING THE LOCK ICON 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 all my cars have handle touch keyless go, everything has for 20 years 🤷🏻♂️
@@WatchJRGo no need to get angry, adding a label doesn’t make it a great feature, people aren’t that thick that they can’t work out how to get in and out of a vehicle and need a label to show them, it’s not ‘knocking it out of the park’ stuff by Ford..this is a truck with modern vehicle features, that they want 100k for, nuts.
These new trucks are something you would not buy when used because of all the tech on them . Think of the cost to repair all this stuff! But great truck new.
I like my 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins. Its a nice mix of technology and analog technology. Touch screen that sets what you need. Central screen that can be set to show only what you needed to know. And i do agree with stereo systems. I just don't enjoy all of the full screens in dash. If it fails your about to have a bad day.
Regarding the column shifter - can you put it into drive and using an open palm, push forward and upward on the shifter to move it into neutral without having it go into reverse?
On past Fords, trucks or sedans, F250 or F150, conlumn or console shifters, you could not do that! For the column shifter, you actually had to pull the lever UP and put it into Neutral!
The reason why this is important is in case the throttle gets stuck, you can just palm it and push the shifter from D into N without fear of going into R.
This can be done on all Ram, GMC, Chevy, vehicles as well as BMW, Mercedes, Audi VW, Toyota, Lexus Honda and Acura vehicles. Why ford has this lockout is unknown as this is a DESIGN FLAW! Other manufacturers do not have this safety issue with their auto transmissions!
Curious what you find on your new truck?
Did he just look into that mirror on the sun visor and say "That's beautiful"?
The LEDs are beautiful, how the mirror is lit is very important 💯
Yet they still have the key less keypad that i love that were on Lincolns in the late 80's 💯
I loved that feature on my Mark VIIs
john rose u make me lol when u talk about fords
is that rust on the tailgate at 10:50
Damn! Great catch! What a shame. I guess it’s possible it could be some sort of grease, too. It sure does look like it could be rust though…. Very expensive rust.
Given Ford’s quality lately, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Actually, aren’t all the bodies aluminum now though?
I'm not a Ford guy, but the Tremor looks amazing with the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires. I think the Tremor competes with the Chevy Trail Boss.
2020 platinum tremor was perfect. And they deleted the mute button on my 23
I’ll be 50 soon, but I feel 70 many days. Not sure if I’d use that step, but I like those steps in the Chevy Bumpers.
I’m 52 I understand everything about my platinum tremor and don’t need to wait 5 years to trade in on the next one I like
I miss how cars were made in the 1960's (even though I didn't physically experience)- you get to pick every single option. You didn't have to buy packages to get features. If you want 220, you check the box.
I have a co-worker who took out a 401k loan to buy a very similar truck.
The bank would not loan him the money because they said the payments were too high for his income!
If we take out a loan against our 401k it has to be paid back within 5 years so he is paying back $20,000 per year plus interest and he is moonlighting after work and on weekends as a delivery person for his brother-in-law's furniture store so he has money to make ends meet
He puts $20 to $25 a fuel in it every couple of days because he says he can't afford to fill it from empty!
And he's getting taxed on the repayments because they come from his net income, but goes back as pre-tax dollars. So he gets to pay taxes twice on the same money. Once on the repayment and again when he distributes in retirement. Congrats!
Imagine the insurance cost on a 100K truck.
I love my 08 Ranger 2.3L w/5 speed manual! I also love my two "oil burning" Hyundai GDIs. This truck cost more than all my vehicles combined x3! It is a very nice and capable truck though!
I hate sunroofs or drop tops I don’t need the sun on me while driving I’ve never driven my sc430 with the top down I do run it a couple times a month so I know it’s working but I like that it’s a hard top no rag and no to sunroofs Slictop always looks better and less areas to fail
Just needs air cooled back seats for people in south Texas
JR, you could sell refrigerators to Eskimos.
2023 platinums didn’t get the multi contour seat, which just doesn’t work for me lol
JR, you have to get this truck. It's for the health of your back. You have to do it!!!! Go for it.
Brand new Ford 2500 with a trailer hitch full of rust all for $100+K.
Well John Ross, I suppose that Ford now have to give you this truck for free since your review for this truck was outstanding. I really hope they do 🙂
no pickup is worth $100k respecially since those high dollar trucks will only be driveway queens
I do work on these new high end trucks. They still hit deer lol
Im going to completely redo my 2003 F-150 extended cab stepside FX4 purple truck. Its like a coupe compared to trucks today
Can you do 2 sponsors in one video?
It’s nice, but for me AC, heat and a seat are all the luxury I need. For electronics, the 15pro suffices.
Love the Tremor’s exterior and interior colors!
Another JR quirks and features episode, and it's a Ford, there's no way in hell they'll see another dime of my money much less $100K, no thanks.
Yea, all that tech stuff is nice, until it stops working. Then you have to go to the dealer and then 3 weeks later he hands you a bill for $12,000.00.( yea, it happens)
Luv your enthusiasm for this truck, too bad you can't trade in your 22 yet.
So wish ford had sedans. I would buy one.
I’m down-right pissed that they killed them here. I love Mustangs but if they wanted to get rid of a car with low sales numbers, it should have been discontinued.
I’ve owned a 65 Mustang, an 88 Mustang LX 5.0 SSP, a 2007 Fusion 2.3 5-speed purchased new and a 2014 Lincoln MKZ bought used with 8,300 miles.
I’ve loved all my cars but the Fusion and MKZ were great cars that were new or relatively new when I bought them and they were affordable and great cars.
I considered and really wanted to buy a Focus or Fiesta ST and would gladly buy a new Fusion or MKZ today.
Ford still builds sedans and a new Mondeo and MKZ are available in China. So is the Taurus.
I believe that the Focus and Fiesta have been discontinued worldwide which is a shame because the latest generation that we didn’t get was really nice.
I think Ford got rid of the affordable cars in the US to get people accustomed to the high prices of electrics. I’m soooo glad that the electric vehicle market is falling on its face now. Ford deserves it!
I have a 2021 platinum super duty. I’ve never accidentally put mine into manual
No. Nope, I work too hard to drive a spa. Staying with my Used $15k Taco. 4 years standard maintenance and a set of shocks.
You know more about these trucks than Ford salesmen do
Why can't the 22' update the firmware to let the dash do the same as the 23'? Seems like not very good planning.
Ahh,the gimmicks for those who never feel they have enough 😢😢
That was kinda mean referring to older people. Like that
I love my step on trail gate. Yes I'm 65 ..
Lets take bets on how soon the transmission gets replaced....in my fleet i have had 4 F350 transmission replacement under 50k miles....
One more thing about my work van good fuel economy for a work van 👍❤️
I like the TRX more
Alright the one technology I would use is a trailer camera
Love this truck EXCEPT for thw chrome and the front headlights. Those headlights are hideous! I especially don't like the chrome in the mirrors and the tailgate.
it's B&O unleashed, I'm very unimpressed with the B&O in my 21 f150
I agree that all that tech and motorized tailgate and steps is cool and all but $100k…? Nope.
Full disclosure...im an older guy with a paid for 2004 f250... Your 2023 is just a good as that 2024 in 20 years the tech can give you problems and it is unlikely Ford will fully support parts. I really like the truck you have and feel a little bit sorry that you had to pay 100k for it.
i wonder if you will do a video on your thoughts on the new nissans $ 10,000 truck...it seems to get great reviews..but its not currently sold in the U.S...but when it is, it would be cool to see you review one.
Not easy to disable seatbelts. Buy all the Ford scan products and take a risk on your warranty and god forgive someone gets hurts after you disable belts. Good review but you need more time in the truck way off on a few things and the tremor is way more than lift and shocks
Thanks for the hour long Ford commercial
Keep your truck and call it a day.
It's a beautiful truck, but way more than I'm willing to spend. I freak at 50K, but dam, it sure would be nice to daily drive that beast.
your giving them to much credit for things that should be common sense /how hard is it to build a truck with buttons and switches where they should be/chevy has all these since 2019
I’m scared to purchase one to many issues that goes for all manufacturers out there the simplicity of building a decent truck out there is gone to complicated to many regulations. Go out and Vote 🤷♂️
These are Not for me I like old simple trucks
I understand and appreciate all the technology but I don’t understand who’s buying these new trucks with how insane the prices are. Again it’s cool but what like 150k? There’s not a 250-350 truck on the planet worth that
Im sry any car into the 100k is just not okay 😂 im good with the ones in 20k to 40k or less. A car is a car not a moneypit for greed.
I can only imagine how much one of those rear tailgates cost if you crunch it up that’s the problem with those high-end shit. It cost $1 million to fix it.
To buy a 100k truck it is insane. I'll never do that!
any chance on seeing house updates?
When you are 70 plus it is 😊not the least bit “Dumb”
While that truck does look interesting I don't like all the electronic features. I don't even use half the options in my 2010 but I do agree that truck is better than mine but who has the $$$ to buy one. 14 years ago it cost me $45K and that was a big bite that then.
I take O'fense to your 50 to 60 year old buyers of that truck, comment. I nearly fell off my beach chair while sittin in front of my fancy, movin picture, talkin thingy box! I like teknologee! LOL
Yes
Speaking of German - when will Ford get rid of the clown bar graph gauges for speedo and tach and put in standard analog needle on dial gauges even if it is done digitally??!!! Porsche needs to do their instrument design if Ford can't figure it out! Even Honda and Toyota does it better!
Title of this video should be 'First World Problems'
No truck is worth $100,000!! lol US dallors no less. But like your channel and content!
very gm looking headlights
Does it have the death wobble? Has the fuel system exploded yet?
I’ve never owned a vehicle newer than 2002 I don’t think I want the complications of tons of stuff that could go wrong and to work on em you need a computer hooked up to figure it out my 02 Lexus sc430 is to much computer shite I usually have to go to my local mechanic because computers but the amount on the new stuff is useless to me
Let's talk at 70k miles after the transmission gone
$100,000k isn't a wise money move. Especially when you drive off lot you loose half price. Plus wait until Repo people start taking back vehicle
My truck was $103k and sells for $80k all day long 🤔
@@WatchJRGo I think people still can`t wrap their head around how the tax write-off kind of discounts the original price. It`s better spent there than paid in tax. Also there`ll be a market for it in 5 years time if you gonna sell it then to recoup some of the money. The only thing I don`t get is how can you be this excited about the '23 or the '22 for that matter. They bore me to tears with or without the bells and whistles trim level.
It’s just wow but too expensive though!
Fantek commercial buried in a Ford commercial. Geeze
If people quit buying at stupid prices for a truck that will struggle to last 10 years the price will fall
Tremors are great but not the best for towing fifth wheel/ gooseneck. Still great if you don’t do that stuff.
In the UK this truck would not even be able to go down a street
Give me a 1990’s 3/4 ton any day.
