Hey Paul! Awesome content you've got by sharing your real experiences, thank you. My current 2017 ford F350 diesel SRW is my first diesel vehicle and we purchased it new and it's now at 124,000 original miles as type and never let us down. My wife and I live full-time on the road and this truck pulls our 32 feet 10K lbs. RV travel trailer home for the past 5 years. This time, I decided to try out a 2022 - 2023 RAM 3500 dually H.O. with the Aisin and 4:10 gears to continue our journey on the road on a 20k 5th wheel toy hauler that is 45 feet long to carry all our junk with us. I will try to report back in the future how will the truck hold and perform (mainly the engine brake, stability, and power) for our usage pulling our "House on Wheels". Keep up the good work and stay humble my friend! Howdy, from the Nevada Desert!🤠
See this is why I'm here, we love our 2017 F350 and we have a 42' 21k fully loaded 5th wheel - I've taken 10% grades and it's been a champ but I do want the new truck... That exahust brake issue is a big deal though.
My 22 3500 SRW HO Ram is doing good. I just drive the thing though, I pulled my 40,000 combined weight 2 ton truck and trailer out of a sticky situation with it yesterday. That’s hardest that’s truck worked so far. And I put it in 4 low and pulled it out. Most days I just drive it like a half ton. I do not need a one ton truck 99% of the time. However, that 1% of the time really really really sucks when you don’t have it.
I’m confused because you purposely bought the 500 horse 1200 ft/lb high output truck and then complain that it’s a hot rod!! Aah yes, yes it is!! They gave you all the power. As far as the exhaust brake you should have waited to see if the aftermarket had any solutions. I’m a ford guy I watched every update you did with the last powerstroke and this one. I was hoping you’d at least put a few hundred thousand on it and see what it’s made of.
It’s called being flaky. He doesn’t know what he wants. He’s got the dough to buy whatever, which I respect that. I’m a GM guy an he likes to slam GM like their a luxury cruiser an can’t be used for work, however if I had the new 23 Ford HO I would’ve definitely ran the bitch. I think Ford has something there for once.
For fuel mileage as a owner, I know being safe is number one which I wonder if it's not a software issue with the engine brake ( my 17 f 150[I know a different class being gas] but having driving big diesels for 32 years loved the engine braking for the trailer in f150 and not slipping back on dead starts going up hill) would of have loved this automatic features on my big trucks. But 14 or better mileage if possible is huge savings.
I have always had duramax trucks and minus 1 random broken crank , they have been very solid. Still have a high mile lly and have a 2024 which is Cadillac like yes but it tows great. I’ve had a couple rams. They were dogs in comparison. Had a coveted 12 valve all stock and super low mile that wouldn’t get out of its own way. I mean towing a 8k lb skid on a gooseneck was painful. The lly pulls light years better. Out of all the Chevy trucks I’ve owned, which honestly is more than I can recall,, I’ve had very little trouble w them. Minimal wear parts on the front end ect. They all have towed 15-22k daily. Always. So for the notion that they are show and no go- I know better. Both of my rams were a total joke
@@samuelw.3992GM front ends are junk. My company tries to use a few of them every year but they don’t last. Only Fords survive. I have a GMC as a personal truck but I don’t work it hard.
Paul - long time fan of the channels. I have a ‘21 Ford F450 currently. I have owned many trucks from all the brands. Never had ANY luck with GM. Constantly breaking things as I tow every day. I, too, love Rams, but I found I was always chasing little repairs, or some things that broke (rear seals) that shouldn’t break under 50k miles. Soooo - bring me to my Ford. No issues. Pulls like an absolute champ and stops on a dime. I guess the exhaust break isn’t as big of a deal to me as it seams to be for everyone else. Sad to see ya dump this truck so early. I was hoping to see the long haul and you getting comfortable with it. Anyways - sorry for the long winded response. Good luck - what’s next?
He didn't have it long enough for anything to even compare / get use to. It takes 20-30k miles minimum. He just a die hard ram loyalist and does like the ford but canr stand not owning a ram. Like he is betraying ram or something. I understand, you like what you like. Get the ram.
Great video! Thankyou! I have a 2020 Ram SRW longbed CC. It has tge SO engine and would run circle around my 2018 w the HO. But I’m not towing everyday. I tow 14,500 lb fifth wheel 10% of the miles. 62,000 miles right now. I’d still like to see you test a SO! You might be surprised.
It's ironic you came to this conclusion as I just did too. I picked up a 22 F350 to see what Ford was all about while Ram ironed out the issues in the 22's. There are multiple things I believe Ford does better, however, overall there are some major misses. The exhaust brake is no where near as effective as Rams and the aluminum body has multiple drawbacks. You can feel the doors moving in the door jams and the hinges starting having creaking issues. Took it in to the dealership and they are well aware of the problem as they're known and very common. Said they will wait for it to become worse as its very expenive to repair.The truck feels light on its feet but that translates to a platform that doesn't feel near as stable as Rams when pulling. I went and test drove a 23 3500 Limited Mega Cab and the overall build quality and solid feel blew me away. Always loved my Rams but being out of one for 10 months really allowed me to see and feel why I always preferred them. I couldn't trade out of the Ford fast enough and will never even consider another make.
I concur, since my first diesel truck is a new (back then) 2017 f.350 diesel srw. The first ever alumiduty in the super duty line up. My wife and live full-time on the road since 2018 and going on six years now and 95% of the time, our truck and 10k lbs. 32 feet travel trailer rv goes to wash boards, unpaved roads in the desert and forest/mountains. The truck now is at 124,500 original miles as I type and been very reliable with just the basic maintenance that I perform myself on the road. I noticed that at 100k miles, everything starts to creek and the truck has mainly feel floating on road and off road at times when not towing. This time, I have a change of heart and waiting for the delivery of a slightly used 2022 Ram 3500 HO Cummins dually or a 2023 ram 3500 HO Cummins dually to continue our journey on the road and to pull our new rig a 43 feet long 20k lbs. 5th wheel toy hauler.
@@Jay-y1s6g Fleet sales, it’s as simple as that. It’s like saying McDonalds makes the best burger because they’re #1 in sales. I personally know multiple guys who switched once they finally drove a Ram. 🤷♂️
There are videos where people have gotten 500k miles on duramax without repairs. But these people never followed factory recommended intervals either. I have a comments from 6.7 powerstroke owners that have reached 500k miles without engine repairs but they never followed factory recommendation guidelines and never used motorcraft products either
How have the emmission sytems held up on the Ford? I notice every time I see a picture of the dash it shows DPF filter 0%, that seems odd. How about fuel economy? What is the highest that you have seen the trans temp? Having a CP4 still turns me off, but I am not brand bashing.
They do a passive regen when EGTs are high enough, meaning it’s hot enough to burn off soot without dumping extra fuel. If you pull a decent load down the interstate all the time, it will live at 0%.
This is so funny.... I put 6k miles on that 2023 ram mega cab limited 3500 HO Aisin..... I traded back for my 2022 Ford last week! The 6 speed and long turbo spool up I thought was a joke. Everyone has an opinion and I mean no disrespect but my personal opinion is Ram is so far behind in so many ways. The interior was great but the truck itself to me just felt cheap.... The bed didn't line up with the cab as is should. Pulling a 30ft gooseneck in Texas hill country it would downshift to 5th and just scream trying to pull hills.... Trying to pass cars/trucks at 75ish almost felt dangerous, it took so much longer than my 22 Ford or 23 GMC...... I'll probably catch a lot of hell for this but every man is different..... Some prefer blonde, brunet, and the occasional crazy red head.... I'm Ford all the way with GMC not far behind. Love the videos PD, keep em coming!!! Cheers!!!
Right on brother!!! It’s like saying i am gonna dump my super girlfriend because she is super hot looking, sexy, faithfull, loving, likes taking to bed, no issues at all, But i like sitting on the couch watching jeopardy all the time and gonna date the other chick i saw behind the walmart…
So are you going back to Ram after the multiple failures? I was looking forward to you running the Ford for a while. I can understand what you are saying, but I don’t think you gave the truck much of a chance to prove itself with just 9k miles.
My 2018 RAM 5500 would sometimes decide it wasn’t going to apply the exhaust brake when I needed it, plan B was to downshift and work around the damn thing! My 2022 Kenworth with a PX7, essentially a Cummins 6.7, does the same thing sometimes, and I just downshift to work around it! The exhaust brakes work great, when they feel like doing their job!
I questioned my sanity after spending hours in the engine bay of my Powerstroke. Pretty sure the mechanics willing to work on them go insane too. Now when I look at the engine bay of my Cummins I smile every time I can see ground through both sides of the engine and can identify all the parts just by casually looking in, unlike the powerstroke spaghetti mess hiding access to everything.
I owned a Ford once. It caught fire 🔥 8 million unit recall. 14 million total. Will never buy another one. On my second Ram since 2003. 21 years and counting driving Ram trucks.
Coming from 2020 F350 DRW 6.7 Lariat, I waited 16 months for 2022-2023 F450 Limited. After the long wait, I jumped the ship to 2023 Ram 3500 Limited DRW HO 6.7 Aisin transmission 4.1 gear, Night edition. 6 speed only gives me around 15 mpg at 75 mph. My F350 6.7 3.43 gear used give me 17 mpg at 75mph.. Interior is more quiet and better on Ram Limited.. They are both great trucks
Hello Paul; from another Paul. Please elaborate on: exhaust brake operation, ? transmissions issues, or fuel pump reliability . Thank you How much do you want for your truck???
My 2018 Ram 2500 saw Cummins is my first diesel and I could not be happier. At 9000 miles I had the motor studded, fass system added and the required upgrades done to greatly extend engine life 😉😉. Also added a deep trans pan, trans case brace, and trans coolant block delete. Love this truck.
Hey Paul, there is even an option you can do you can solid axle swap a duramax and remove the independent front suspension in place of a solid axle. It actually changes the whole entire truck at that point it would be the best money investment you would ever make if you got another duramax
My 2023 Duramax exhaust brake is terrible I almost stopped at the dealership to see if it's even working going from a 2015 ram to now this Duramax It might as well not even have an exhaust break.
Dude it’s so weird seeing you drive the roads I drive all the time on UA-cam. Ur coming from tricities going past ritzville. I live 15 mins from ritzville.
100% agree I got out of a 22 longhorn megacab diesel didn’t need it so I got a trx. Now I am looking at adding an older 2016-2018 ram 2500 with a diesel to haul the occasional skid steer or dump trailer. 99% of the time I need gas so I can idle all day long not worry about def but 1% of the time I need to haul dump trailer.
The Aisin is a strong transmission meant for towing day in and out. If you want a ram to hot rod and tune get a 68rfe there’s many companies who build them and can tune them. Aisin is untuneable
I agree with everything he said about the seatbelt notification and chime. Come on Ford, we don’t need on screen, notification, beeps, and all this other crap.
I’ve owned Ram Cummins for 13 years. The first one I owned for 12 years. I’m in a 2022 now. I’ll like Cummins because they’re strong, simple, industrial/commercial engines.
Great video! Hear ya just needing a tractor. Ford F350 / 450 may be more attempting to hit a wider audience. Curious, have you experimented with Auto Eng Brake and tapped brake to see if Eng Brake works any better?
My exhaust brake works amazing in my ‘23 Ford a ton better than any GM product. And I won’t even buy a ram because their horsepowers so low. They finally got their torque up. Everybody’s different.
I need an all around truck. I only have one vehicle which is my 21 ram 3500 HO. Need it to tow my 21k toy hauler and go to work and the grocery store. But it's so friggin slow. My neighbors 22 ps is amazing. If ram doesn't do anything power train wise for 24, I'm gonna jump ship to ford.
I have a long bed 2023 f-350 xlt single wheels. I was gonna trade it in for a fully loaded 2023 ram dually. The ram’s turning radius is awesome!! But man the ram can’t accelerate worth of crap. It really made me appreciate my ford much more.
You may have a good point there - too much go and not enough brake!! I've got a $390,000.00 Lamborghini and it does have a whole lot of go and every time I've stepped on the brakes from 140mph, it stopped amazingly well!!! So I guess I won't be selling the Lambo anytime soon!!👍👍👍
My 23 F250 pulls 14k with ease. Exhaust brake works just like the semis I drove for years. Instant on/off. Maybe yours wasn’t calibrated correctly. I hear you on all of the dings and warnings. Drives me nuts. Ford really dummy proofed these new F Series. Funny enough when it’s not working it’s parked and I drive my boring and trusty Landcruiser. Good comparison. One thing I can say for sure about this Ford, I won’t own it one day after the warranty runs out. Too many glitches already in it’s 4k life so far.
@@bryandepiazzy8769 very true but the truck has 48k and is still under (engine) warranty. I’m Trying to decide if the diet will stave off major surgery….
@@Steadierpark , dealer will take care of your wallet for sure after weight reduction and will report you to epa. Keep posting here about weight reduction and you will be getting visits from epa folks that comment here

He tried duramax and sold it. Must be best diesel ever made! I will give duramax credit for ditching Bosch cp4 and injectors and using Toyota Denso pump and injectors.
To much go, not enough brake. F350 super duty is within the same class range for weight pulling of a small semi truck and trailer. You need power to get going and give yourself plenty of time to stop. When I hear people say not enough braking power, usually it's because there trying to stop too short and not giving enough distance to slow down instead. One of the things I was told in my CDL class.
When someone asks me about a diesel truck, meaning which one should I get. I always say if you are just "wanting" a diesel truck then a GM or Ford is good, but if you "need" a diesel, then buy a Ram.
So your fearful of it breaking because it’s powerful. Why not get a fleet of old 12 valves? I mean your newer RAM’s are hot rods compared to them right? Your money just trying to follow the logic. If you need a fleet of commercial work trucks that are conservative get an F550.
Now days the majority of people with diesels don’t even tow. That’s why all the manufacturers are trying to out do each other with HP numbers. If I wanted to go fast, a diesel truck would be pretty low on the list. I’d buy a real hot rod.
So much power at a huge price with not enough of a warranty. All makes should offer 10year 500k mile warranties on trucks that cost over 70k. Engine breaking does suck on my 17 6.7 power stroke. Cummins is way better in that category
Sell it now. Prices on used cummins ready for heavy use coming from a commuter that needs better mileage will be cheaper. Get 2 trucks lightly used for price of on fancy Ford.
If Ram came out with a new chassis/cab and got a better trans it would be awesome and possibly almost as good as a Ford. Old cab, and trans make it worst in class by a long shot.
On I-40 into Albuquerque from gallup this weekend, I noticed a struggling or limping is Ford. The powerstroke was hauling 3 vehicles with his hazards on. A few hours later, I was going by that spot, and he left the 3 vehicles on the trailer on the shoulder of I-40. The powerstroke was obviously towed. But the GM and Ram hotshots were still getting it. It's possibly because they run hot normally, and then when they get a load, all Temps are already border lined, so there's nothing to do but overheat. Gm and Ram have room for heating up and cooling down, plus it was over 100° out.
I just brought home a ‘23 f350 non HO dually and I love most of the upgrades from my ‘17 srw. Ford improved the strength of the exhaust brake, but it still is just as unpredictable as ever unless the cruise control is on. The Ford software engineers are the ones that need to go drive a loaded up Ram and maybe even some 80k plus class 8 trucks so that they can understand why we want the exhaust brake to function properly when not using cruise control. The auto setting works pretty well in most hilly curvy roads, but if I select full I want ALL the exhaust brake the moment I let off the fuel. I use cruise control about 80-90% of the time so it’s not a huge issue, but I still wish they could get the exhaust brake to work like it should when I’m not using cruise control. I’m really hoping that someone figures out how to remove the seatbelt crap from the screen, this is my single biggest annoyance about the truck so far. I’m curious how upset the truck is going to get when I remove the seats altogether.
AGREED!! You my friend understand trucks. Just got a 23' Ford and my 20' Ram is light years ahead of a truck that's 3 years newer. The exhaust brake on the Ram is second to none, the interior is absolutely better in the Ram, and the cameras are also way better. I can't even see my gooseneck ball in the Ford camera cause it's so blurry. The Ram I could see a fly sitting on the ball. However, I agree the 6.7 does pull well, everything else around the platform seems to be subpar or not much thought into it. As soon as Ford finally has a motor figured out since the 7.3 diesel it seems they can't figure out the rest of it to flow properly. BTW that seat belt thing is awful.
Seems like every manufacture at this point is making pieces of shit from ford Ram ,Chevy and GMC, motors, blowing up, transmissions, going out on brand new trucks. It’s like they’re all in on it together or something with those 10 speed transmissions.
Sounds like maybe your not comfortable enough to hand off the keys to your guys, HO power and ? Braking, Speed probably not important in the towing business. Part 2 Paul and RAM together again.
We are talking pickup trucks. Your analogy doesn’t matter. These trucks aren’t hauling 80-90k lbs. the v-8 diesels do it well. I had a Cummins. HAD- past tense. Gutless terd
Haven’t been watching your videos since you bought that ugly ford, I like the information about ram and Cummins that’s why I bought an 18, then you went out and bought that Ford. I will check back in when you have a Cummins.
That ain't a good truck to haul for hire with anyway. That's a fancy pants butt-hauler or maybe the glamper or pony wagon on the weekend. You already know the 4th gen Ram is what works and there are plenty of them on Autotrader just waiting to be abused by company drivers🤣🤣🤣
Too much Go, not enough Brake.

Trying to pass cars/trucks at 75ish almost felt dangerous, it took so much longer than my 22 Ford or 23 GMC...... I'll probably catch a lot of hell for this but every man is different..... Some prefer blonde, brunet, and the occasional crazy red head.... I'm Ford all the way with GMC not far behind. Love the videos PD, keep em coming!!! Cheers!!!
Oh shit. One guys says the new rams are built amazing one says their cheap quality.
Pulling 30ft gooseneck and passing at 75 is reckless driving
@repairvehicle Ram not capable of passing with trailer, or empty at 75.... did you wear your panties to the booth when you voted for biden?
Right on brother!!!
It’s like saying i am gonna dump my super girlfriend because she is super hot looking, sexy, faithfull, loving, likes taking to bed, no issues at all,
But i like sitting on the couch watching jeopardy all the time and gonna date the other chick i saw behind the walmart…
So are you going back to Ram after the multiple failures? I was looking forward to you running the Ford for a while. I can understand what you are saying, but I don’t think you gave the truck much of a chance to prove itself with just 9k miles.
have they fixed the problems with the 6.7 cummins you were having with the other trucks? the 100k miles blowing the engine
Or 11 mpg with no trailer
My 2018 RAM 5500 would sometimes decide it wasn’t going to apply the exhaust brake when I needed it, plan B was to downshift and work around the damn thing! My 2022 Kenworth with a PX7, essentially a Cummins 6.7, does the same thing sometimes, and I just downshift to work around it! The exhaust brakes work great, when they feel like doing their job!
You can turn the seat belt alarm off its in the manual.
The powerstroke has an engine bay full of cuss words. Too complicated. Long term maintenance would question the mechanics sanity.
I questioned my sanity after spending hours in the engine bay of my Powerstroke. Pretty sure the mechanics willing to work on them go insane too. Now when I look at the engine bay of my Cummins I smile every time I can see ground through both sides of the engine and can identify all the parts just by casually looking in, unlike the powerstroke spaghetti mess hiding access to everything.
It’s not hard you can do all the work off of UA-cam tutorials
Welcome back to the fold. I just got my second 3500 Diesel. Now I have a set.
I do have 2022 F250 Powerstroke and exhaust brake work perfect . Could be the exhaust brake problem because of HO Powerstroke engine ???
I owned a Ford once. It caught fire 🔥 8 million unit recall. 14 million total. Will never buy another one. On my second Ram since 2003. 21 years and counting driving Ram trucks.
Keeping my 2015 tractor with 200k and counting.
Okay
Coming from 2020 F350 DRW 6.7 Lariat, I waited 16 months for 2022-2023 F450 Limited. After the long wait, I jumped the ship to 2023 Ram 3500 Limited DRW HO 6.7 Aisin transmission 4.1 gear, Night edition. 6 speed only gives me around 15 mpg at 75 mph. My F350 6.7 3.43 gear used give me 17 mpg at 75mph.. Interior is more quiet and better on Ram Limited.. They are both great trucks
Hello Paul; from another Paul. Please elaborate on: exhaust brake operation, ? transmissions issues, or fuel pump reliability . Thank you
How much do you want for your truck???
My 2018 Ram 2500 saw Cummins is my first diesel and I could not be happier. At 9000 miles I had the motor studded, fass system added and the required upgrades done to greatly extend engine life 😉😉. Also added a deep trans pan, trans case brace, and trans coolant block delete. Love this truck.
Trans case brace is just a waste of money because your transmission is made of cast aluminum and doesn’t flex.
Did you include the extended range blinker fluid?
@@repairvehicle 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Paul, there is even an option you can do you can solid axle swap a duramax and remove the independent front suspension in place of a solid axle. It actually changes the whole entire truck at that point it would be the best money investment you would ever make if you got another duramax
How about the re sale value, tell us about it, you must have done good?
My 2023 Duramax exhaust brake is terrible I almost stopped at the dealership to see if it's even working going from a 2015 ram to now this Duramax It might as well not even have an exhaust break.
Dude it’s so weird seeing you drive the roads I drive all the time on UA-cam. Ur coming from tricities going past ritzville. I live 15 mins from ritzville.
Try out a 2024 GM truck, I know the 100k 17 had something to desire but I'd like to see your opinion on a new one like you've done with Ford and Ram.
100% agree I got out of a 22 longhorn megacab diesel didn’t need it so I got a trx. Now I am looking at adding an older 2016-2018 ram 2500 with a diesel to haul the occasional skid steer or dump trailer. 99% of the time I need gas so I can idle all day long not worry about def but 1% of the time I need to haul dump trailer.
Def generally doesn't cause issues
It's a clogged DPF and a clogged EGR you need to worry about idling a diesel, not the DEF usage.
I actually consider my 2022 diesel 2500 S/O one of the best all around trucks I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned a Ford, a Chevy, and GMC and the Ram.
The SO is a fantastic engine! It will likely be problem free for a long time.
Hey Paul I'm curious as to why you run pickups vs a medium duty international or peterbilt or something like that
This
Cost
Yes id be interested to know if your going back to RAM. And or what year/model
You must have saw my post on my 6.7 upper pan leak on super duty forum!
Trolls have been posting on his channel that these trucks don’t have issues with upper pan leaking
My motto is use what works if it ain't broke don't fix it it may be boring doing the same thing but if it works it works
What is it that you would like to see in a redesigned Ram HD, besides the transmission? Or do you think the transmission is fine in the Ram?
Would be good day when they come out with the ZF series in HD rams.
The Aisin is a strong transmission meant for towing day in and out. If you want a ram to hot rod and tune get a 68rfe there’s many companies who build them and can tune them. Aisin is untuneable
Get rid of hydraulic/roller lifters for sure.
Is it also that you are concerned to put drivers in this truck? The fact that it sounds like it has too much power and not enough exhaust brake?
Amen!
I’ve got 2 20’ model rams…
Hopefully Ram will be straightened out before Im in the market again. I refuse to go to Ford or Chevy!!😂😂
Same here brother
I agree with everything he said about the seatbelt notification and chime. Come on Ford, we don’t need on screen, notification, beeps, and all this other crap.
So it’s just a good daily and not a great tow rig?
I’ve owned Ram Cummins for 13 years. The first one I owned for 12 years. I’m in a 2022 now.
I’ll like Cummins because they’re strong, simple, industrial/commercial engines.
My 2022 Ram 3500 has been the best truck I have owned. Cummins HO Aisin
Sounds like your 2022 Rams don't have enough go.
Great video! Hear ya just needing a tractor.
Ford F350 / 450 may be more attempting to hit a wider audience. Curious, have you experimented with Auto Eng Brake and tapped brake to see if Eng Brake works any better?
Where is the update on what was wrong with transmission?
My exhaust brake works amazing in my ‘23 Ford a ton better than any GM product. And I won’t even buy a ram because their horsepowers so low. They finally got their torque up. Everybody’s different.
I need an all around truck. I only have one vehicle which is my 21 ram 3500 HO. Need it to tow my 21k toy hauler and go to work and the grocery store. But it's so friggin slow. My neighbors 22 ps is amazing. If ram doesn't do anything power train wise for 24, I'm gonna jump ship to ford.
I have a long bed 2023 f-350 xlt single wheels. I was gonna trade it in for a fully loaded 2023 ram dually. The ram’s turning radius is awesome!! But man the ram can’t accelerate worth of crap. It really made me appreciate my ford much more.
You may have a good point there - too much go and not enough brake!! I've got a $390,000.00 Lamborghini and it does have a whole lot of go and every time I've stepped on the brakes from 140mph, it stopped amazingly well!!! So I guess I won't be selling the Lambo anytime soon!!👍👍👍
Hey @ford is that exahst brake fixable with a firmware or software update? I'm looking for a new 2023 but this is a big issue for those who haul...
I want know about that transmision. Any issues with it yet or ..
I’ll be making a video soon. Transmission is one of the reasons I walked away from the Ford
My 23 F250 pulls 14k with ease. Exhaust brake works just like the semis I drove for years. Instant on/off. Maybe yours wasn’t calibrated correctly. I hear you on all of the dings and warnings. Drives me nuts. Ford really dummy proofed these new F Series. Funny enough when it’s not working it’s parked and I drive my boring and trusty Landcruiser. Good comparison. One thing I can say for sure about this Ford, I won’t own it one day after the warranty runs out. Too many glitches already in it’s 4k life so far.
Crazy how peoples opinion very. I had a 22 Ram HO now in a ford HO, love the ford so much better.
Do you think a “weight reduction” on the 22 Ram would be beneficial? Or, too risky and a waste of dough? Asking for a friend
It’s always beneficial to go on a “diet”
@@bryandepiazzy8769 very true but the truck has 48k and is still under (engine) warranty. I’m Trying to decide if the diet will stave off major surgery….
Once truck receives weight reduction, dealers will not do any repairs and have report back to the epa.
@@Steadierpark , dealer will take care of your wallet for sure after weight reduction and will report you to epa. Keep posting here about weight reduction and you will be getting visits from epa folks that comment here
It’s weight reduction same as delete?
Ok so why did you buy it?
Getting rid of the ford now I’ll start watching again.
You’ll be back to Ford…especially after driving a Ram after the Ford.
They have all have there problems it’s just want you want to deal with i think the newer fords are great but the Cummins is just a great to work on
2022 Ram 3500 Cummins just over 9000 kms that's right. 9000kms . I will never buy one again to many problems. 😢
The next truck you need to invest in a carli pintop system, if you're gonna run it for 400k or more, it will change your way of thinking about trucks.
Thuren kit with fox 2.0's are just as smooth for a fraction of the price.
@@2010drive offroad is another story I promise you. Those bigger shocks smoothness with control arms and the sway bar they offer makes a world of difference
Are you going back to Ram?
Has to, what else would he get
@@repairvehiclesounds like a weirdo to me.
He tried duramax and sold it. Must be best diesel ever made! I will give duramax credit for ditching Bosch cp4 and injectors and using Toyota Denso pump and injectors.
Exhaust breaks have always worked better on inline diesels vs V configuration.
This guy is full of it!!!
Your a Ford guy lol😂
Name and type of rim, anyone know??
Back to RAMboooooyy! 👍😉
Y’all have your “exhaust brake” at least I won’t get gapped by a 02 Honda civic going to get my groceries 😂
It is what it is you need a truck to do certain things right
That’s Franklin county! :D
My gm trucks have been twice the work trucks then the rams have been rams problems bumper to bumper
Same
looking for new truck , I tow a 6k concrete pump everyday with 2500lb payload which one guys?...
Smart for the c4 explode gmc 2500 is lot better I houl 16000lds behind never no problems
I really hope ram changes something for 2025
To much go, not enough brake. F350 super duty is within the same class range for weight pulling of a small semi truck and trailer. You need power to get going and give yourself plenty of time to stop. When I hear people say not enough braking power, usually it's because there trying to stop too short and not giving enough distance to slow down instead. One of the things I was told in my CDL class.
A Tune will fix the EB.
So, you buy the most powerful production pickup ever made, then complain it’s a hotrod? Makes sense.
When someone asks me about a diesel truck, meaning which one should I get. I always say if you are just "wanting" a diesel truck then a GM or Ford is good, but if you "need" a diesel, then buy a Ram.
Incredible
So your fearful of it breaking because it’s powerful. Why not get a fleet of old 12 valves? I mean your newer RAM’s are hot rods compared to them right? Your money just trying to follow the logic. If you need a fleet of commercial work trucks that are conservative get an F550.
I love 12 valves but that would be dumb.
@@samuelw.3992 I agree completely
Be better off 12v swapping all of these new junk diesels. My 12v has almost 500000 miles I drive it everyday it just keeps going.
@@bigmurph1447 yeah but those trucks are built like shit. I’d rather have a 90s 7.3.
@@samuelw.3992 everyone always says the 2nd gens are junk but mine has 500000miles on it lol. I would like to have a 05-07 ford f350 to swap a 12v in
Now days the majority of people with diesels don’t even tow. That’s why all the manufacturers are trying to out do each other with HP numbers.
If I wanted to go fast, a diesel truck would be pretty low on the list. I’d buy a real hot rod.
Some guys like pink gassers
@@samuelhatch8470plenty of gassers that could drive laps around a diesel truck. Nice try kiddo.
Maybe a tundra is right for you. Jk I want a 2026 f350, I have a 2017 now and will upgrade next year or 2026.
I don't trust the fuel pump from destroying the engine.
So much power at a huge price with not enough of a warranty. All makes should offer 10year 500k mile warranties on trucks that cost over 70k. Engine breaking does suck on my 17 6.7 power stroke. Cummins is way better in that category
Sell it now. Prices on used cummins ready for heavy use coming from a commuter that needs better mileage will be cheaper. Get 2 trucks lightly used for price of on fancy Ford.
You talk so much about the exhaust brake. Because mine works great on my f350 dually 23.
I am just looking to buy 4th generation ram megacab muffler free❤
If Ram came out with a new chassis/cab and got a better trans it would be awesome and possibly almost as good as a Ford. Old cab, and trans make it worst in class by a long shot.
😂 Ram is way better than Ford and always will be.. get your facts straight
@@lrizo3841no way you go on this videos just to hate on Ford get a life 💀
@@HSSANITO 🤣
On I-40 into Albuquerque from gallup this weekend, I noticed a struggling or limping is Ford. The powerstroke was hauling 3 vehicles with his hazards on. A few hours later, I was going by that spot, and he left the 3 vehicles on the trailer on the shoulder of I-40. The powerstroke was obviously towed. But the GM and Ram hotshots were still getting it.
It's possibly because they run hot normally, and then when they get a load, all Temps are already border lined, so there's nothing to do but overheat. Gm and Ram have room for heating up and cooling down, plus it was over 100° out.
You obviously haven’t driven a ram..
Lol, I'm selling the Ford 😅
can't make the payments so have to let it go 😂 useless "content"
I just brought home a ‘23 f350 non HO dually and I love most of the upgrades from my ‘17 srw. Ford improved the strength of the exhaust brake, but it still is just as unpredictable as ever unless the cruise control is on. The Ford software engineers are the ones that need to go drive a loaded up Ram and maybe even some 80k plus class 8 trucks so that they can understand why we want the exhaust brake to function properly when not using cruise control. The auto setting works pretty well in most hilly curvy roads, but if I select full I want ALL the exhaust brake the moment I let off the fuel. I use cruise control about 80-90% of the time so it’s not a huge issue, but I still wish they could get the exhaust brake to work like it should when I’m not using cruise control.
I’m really hoping that someone figures out how to remove the seatbelt crap from the screen, this is my single biggest annoyance about the truck so far. I’m curious how upset the truck is going to get when I remove the seats altogether.
I’ve found features like that work better with cruise control and tow haul engaged. But I swear I’m still learning it’s capabilities after 21k
AGREED!! You my friend understand trucks. Just got a 23' Ford and my 20' Ram is light years ahead of a truck that's 3 years newer. The exhaust brake on the Ram is second to none, the interior is absolutely better in the Ram, and the cameras are also way better. I can't even see my gooseneck ball in the Ford camera cause it's so blurry. The Ram I could see a fly sitting on the ball. However, I agree the 6.7 does pull well, everything else around the platform seems to be subpar or not much thought into it. As soon as Ford finally has a motor figured out since the 7.3 diesel it seems they can't figure out the rest of it to flow properly.
BTW that seat belt thing is awful.
Why did you buy it ?
In that case il sale you my 02 f250 7.3 powerstroke...😅
Now it's too fast?? 😂 crazy
Seems like every manufacture at this point is making pieces of shit from ford Ram ,Chevy and GMC, motors, blowing up, transmissions, going out on brand new trucks. It’s like they’re all in on it together or something with those 10 speed transmissions.
Do you own one
Sounds like maybe your not comfortable enough to hand off the keys to your guys, HO power and ? Braking, Speed probably not important in the towing business. Part 2 Paul and RAM together again.
Inline diesel engines are used more than any especially in semi trucks . You wont f8nd a duramax or a powerstroke in a semi. So whats that tell you?
We are talking pickup trucks. Your analogy doesn’t matter. These trucks aren’t hauling 80-90k lbs. the v-8 diesels do it well. I had a Cummins. HAD- past tense. Gutless terd
Thought it would have been sooner
Haven’t been watching your videos since you bought that ugly ford, I like the information about ram and Cummins that’s why I bought an 18, then you went out and bought that Ford. I will check back in when you have a Cummins.
I’m pulling 50k on my 250 stops on a nickel.
That ain't a good truck to haul for hire with anyway. That's a fancy pants butt-hauler or maybe the glamper or pony wagon on the weekend. You already know the 4th gen Ram is what works and there are plenty of them on Autotrader just waiting to be abused by company drivers🤣🤣🤣
I was hoping you were gonna run this truck for 100K at least? Geez 🙄
When you experience cummins low end torque and exhaust brake, it’s kind of hard to except anything less, it must be equivalent or better.
