I’ll be easy. We will tow twice a year and the truck will sit in an air conditioned garage for about 4 years for you. Might have 15,000 miles and will receive an oil change every year. The truck will be ceramic coated with a 7 year ceramic so you have time before you have to wax it. 😊
Don’t worry!! I’m gonna install a lift, 24” rims, and 37” tall mud tires. Don’t worry though, I’ll never take it off-road or tow anything with it. Just take it to parking lots or cars and coffee.
The price of new and late model trucks is insane. In 1978 my dad paid 2,200$ for a 1974 Ford F-250 with a 6.4 litre 390 FE 4 barrel 4 speed 2wd, with 46,000 miles and 1 ton brakes and springs.
The last 3 brand new vehicles have actually made me money. I bought a 2020 GMC 1500 SLT for $66k and sold it for $67k 8 months later. Then I bought a 2021 GMC 1500 AT4 for $62k and sold 6 months later for $64k. Then I bought a 2022 GMC 2500HD AT4 for $71k and just sold it for $74.5k. It’s actually cheaper to buy a new vehicle
What the gas trucks really need are much larger gas tanks. I replaced my 34 gallon Tremor gas tank with a Transfer Flow 58 gallon replacement tank so you know there is plenty of room for the mfg to make it standard or an option.
I am thinking about changing mine out also. Got the email from Berry at transfer flow. How do you like it? Hope somebody post a you tube video soon. That price though.
I have the tailgate step on my 2011 f150, the first year it was introduced, and love it, it still functions as it should, no problems, and use it all the time
When I first got mine with the tailgate step I really didn't think much of it. Then started to use it. The older I get the more I appreciate it. It's great for people who have bad knees or whatever.
When I bought my 2021 F250 XLT 6.2L first two things I did was replace the air intake and exhaust it increased my MPG. Highway went from 16mpg factory to 21mpg.
Great update. Really like the updated options on the 2023 Tremor and the overview of the updated engine options. As you said, a lot of new innovation coming with the trucks. Just too bad they're so darn expensive anymore. Anyhow, fantastic overview JD.
I'm pretty much a base truck guy. I see the advantage in adding upgraded mechanicals but I'm never on board with $40,000 in tech and pretty finishes. I'm not a Luddite. Rear and front cameras are great. Smart cruise control is awesome. Wireless Android Auto. 👍🏻 I'd pay a reasonable price for all of these features. Leather interior is fantastic but in a work truck? It's about value for my money and I just don't see the value there. I can't even really pull the trigger on a base truck because I do tech work from home and probably drive a thousand miles a year. The couple of times a year where I need a truck, I just rent one. My annual cost is less than my registration fees would be. No insurance and no truck payment.
The reason I drove a 250 was the feeling of safety if someone ran into me. In a potential head on if it isn't a semi you don't have to hit the throttle. In a mountain road to the beach in Oregon this happened and the Ford driver lived both towing a fifth wheel. A guy said to me, what would you rather be photographed next to when I was considering a convertible so I bought the 250.
Yeah the manstep is super handy. I use mine all the time. Great for loading/unloading a dirtbike as well. I hated having to use a dirtbike stand as a step lol always sketchy on uneven ground.
You can use it to poop too! Very nice when you're in the bush or in a field. Can even set your phone up on the tailgate and watch a short movie. Depends if you're in a rush or not.

Agreed. I've always loved looking at the firemen type trucks. Ya know? The ones that are work truck trims but they have huge tires and looks so mean. Can't wait to own one of these
If I got back into a super duty, I'd go for something similar. I've had 4 diesels, but the diesel benefits have eroded between emissions BS and the gas engines getting better. I'm excited to see how the new 6.8 turns out. I swapped my last diesel truck out for a 2019 f150 3.5 ecoboost with the max tow package 3 years ago. The ecoboosts are no joke. They tow a lot better than most people realize and are stupid fast when tuned.
I'd bet the 6.8 will be 400hp at least. 400 seems to be the benchmark for 1/2 tons and the 6.8 would be really easy to make 400 reliably. The 7.3 will probably be 450hp with closer to 500ftlbs of torque and will likely make the old 7.3 and 6.0 diesels irrelevant in power. People are getting much more with just tuning but in factory conditions I see these engines really changing the game.
Nice updates on the new SD. I LOVE my tailgate step, I would never get a new truck without it. The steps in the bumper corners are a nice touch. Zone lighting and the ability to turn that tailgate light on are wonderful. Can't wait to hear the numbers on the new 6.8L and hopefully the 6.8 will be available on the F150 too.
Ford......PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give owners the option to disable that horribly annoying double honk feature, and the option to permanently disable the auto start/stop vs having to selectively disable each time you start the truck. It would also be nice to be able to retain whatever selected mode you are in vs. having to reselct it each time you start the truck (ie: put the truck in Sport mode and have that selection stay until I decide to change it without having to reselect it each time.

Rosie and I go way back with Ford Vehicles. I wrote and play a song( Burlington Bill on you tube ) called 66 Mustang which is the story of Rosie and I 52 years ago when we travelled from fort to fort in a 1966 Fastback Mustang with everything we owned in it while I trained troops for Vietnam. After that time through the years we RV'd to every state first with our kids and then Grandsons. We have had Vans and currently trucks. I first bought a 2011 F-350 with the 6.7 and had it for ten years. Had it to Alaska twice. Loved it. Now we have a 2020 also with the 6.7. We tow a 35 foot fifth wheel. The engine is the best.
Great coverage on the new Super Duty series JD and so glad to see y'all recovering so well. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but the black truck in the background of the interview appears to be shod with 19.5" rims. It's obviously a dually with a standard cab. Is this truck actually an F-450? Been quite a while since I've seen a standard cab dually and if that is an F-450 it would certainly be cool to see y'all interview/review it! Giddy up.
I would love to know if the 2023 Powerstrokes will continue to utilize the CP4 fuel pump, or if Ford has followed suit with GM and RAM on swapping this part out for something generally viewed as more reliable.
@@markkropf8295 I'm pretty sure all the people that had the cp4 grenade their engine would sacrifice horsepower to not have that bill.... Can anyone explain how that failure isn't covered under warranty 🤯
@@lbeck119 Great points. I’m still trying to find out how the manufactures are able to weasel out of aftertreatment sensors and components not being covered under the federal mandated emissions warranty periods.
They all copy each other and try to make improvements that they think customers will like. Chevy originally made fun of the tailgate step saying men don’t need steps, then developed their bumper step and side step to compete with Ford. Just like how everyone has cameras everywhere copying ford. The 2 different diesel options having a HO is like Ram does. Chevy is copying the winch. Ford is getting the HUD. Soon they will all add the tailgate camera. Everyone try’s to complete with the competition and copy what sells which is better for consumers. Because they are all similar and are all reliable nowadays you can shop price more than brand options.
I’d like to hear some discussion about the fuel system (the cp4 is the weak point obviously and it needs to be resolved). Also, I’d like to hear about any revisions to the front end that may address the death wobble (I had it on my 2017, and have had dampener issues on my 2020)…
@@yourelectricman, death wobble is a solid front axle issue.... there is no fix besides making sure all the geometry is in check and nothing is wore out.
It's funny how manufacturers stick with certain numbers. Having a 7.3L diesel in the past, to a gas engine with the same displacement number today. The Triton V10 was a 6.8L engine as well. Kind of humorous. It's also humorous that they copied GM with the integrated side and bumper steps. Ram has some catching up to do!
If you talk to working men they don’t want all of this crap that could malfunction or break. Why do you think the price of a 15 or 20 year old pickup is so high right now? Talk to welders, construction workers, farmers, ect. and you find out they want something that’s not built with plastic and electronics. They don’t last in the line of hard work
Auto tilting headlights or auto rear air leveling should be standard. Tired of being flashed when towing. Tundras have tilting headlights, don't know if Toyota patented that?
Bout time the safety chain eye holes were improved. I installed hammerlocks on my 2017 two days ago. Can't wait to pay it off and upgrade to a newer model, but I grow more attached every time I drive it.
Great interview and very useful information, thanks JD. I sure would like to have one of the new Tremors. The only drawback to the Ford Tremor I can see is that they do not make it with the long bed. GMC's AT4 does, which for me is the only advantage that gmc has over the Ford. I've had several pickups with the 8 foot bed and several with the 6.5 foot bed, and the 8 foot bed wins hands down every time for utility. Especially if you put an auxiliary fuel tank in the bed, or a tool box. Once you add either one of those to a short bed, there's just not much room left in the bed.
Nice overview JD. That being said when you get a chance to engage an executive I’d love if you were more of a journalist and less of a fan. For example when he talks about the new safety chain connection points you could have asked him why it’s taken them so long to address this. Other good questions. Why spend the money to develop the 6.8? Why not just make the 7.3 standard? What about the CP4 fuel pump issues that have been widely reported? What about the death wobble issues that have also been widely reported? Just to cite a couple of examples.
Someone needs to make a video of a sport/black pack 23 tremor once they start cranking them out. It’s a shame the new tremor wasn’t at the chicago auto show. Would’ve loved to see one.
The new super duty is awesome, but the prices are nuts, I was looking at a 21 model for 55k then the same trim in a 22 went to 61k, now add all the new cool standard features, at what cost Ford has just priced me out of range.
I have a neighbor who bought a 19 f350 platinum for $85k 4 door short bed. 55-65k for a new truck is kinda cheap like a 2023 f350/450 platinum or limited should 100% be $100k-$120k after all taxes and be on a 22’ wheel that’s not cast iron
@@RideOrDie717 it not cheap when your budget was $55k and the price went to $61k and the 23 model year is going to be higher which in turn prices it even higher past my budget, meaning the prices rising are making it impossible for me to purchase a truck within my budget, it is also making me look to other brands such as Ram because you can still get one at a lower price for the same trim level equivalent
@Samuel Wasberg dude seriously. Less than 2 years ago you could uy a semi truck for a 130K and you're saying these pickup trucks are priced where they should be
I use to get excited about Ford. After working somewhere in the company there is no way I would buy something overpriced and always be at the shop for recall work. I will be so happy when I leave the company.
I used to be a ford guy too. My first ex wife’s dad worked at the claycomo plant in KC Mo. I drive a Nissan Xterra now. Rock solid reliability and it’s made in Tennessee.
The only thing that worries me is this was a lariat tremor with the digital gauge cluster and heads up display and the 14 cameras that every video touts is an extra option on top of this already fairly loaded (and pricey) truck!
I fund auto loans and you should see what these things really cost. A 2017 f250 with 150,000 miles are still in the high $35,000.00 mark a new f 250 heavy duty has been funded as high as $95-100,000.00.
It really does not matter what innovation is in the trucks as you will never be able to buy one as they won't be available. Ford stopped taking 2022 Super Duty orders back in May or June. I guess you can order one near the end of 2022 and hope you get it by the end of 2023.
For stopped taking orders in March. The super duty has been off the market for about 7 months now. Expect a rush of 2023 orders to come in and be another production cluster-f*ck.
I had a 1984 F-250 460 or 7.5 gasoline motor ( FORD you need to put these back on the Road ). That got 15 or more MPG. Diesel engines were not widely available then. My 2019 F-250 6.7 Diesel engine is getting around 15 MPG. That engine is great, fast, tough but in 35+ years of innovation and fuel at $4 to $5 per gallon... Why isn't the miles per gallon better?
It would have been nice to see a hybrid. Something like what ford has in the F150. It would be nice to have a 3/4 or 1 ton that could pull a 5th wheel along with 5k watt “generator” connections in the bed.
Just watched a video showing thousands of heavy duty trucks sitting at a Kentucky race track " waiting " on chips coming from Taiwan. America is behind the ball on chips.
We really love our 2020 F250. The tiny little greenish display is embarrassing though. I think it was a punishment for those buying the lower end trucks. But it has some of the more important bells and whistles (Godzilla, 110V). These options really step it up though. Maybe one of these is in our not-too-distant future.
These new super duty trucks are damn nice! The simple and useable innovations are spot on. Ford has obviously considered customer suggestions. I had heard rumors of the 6.8 liter engine. The original speculation was that it was going to be an option on the F 150. That would be a great option. Are you listening Ford?
I am happy that they are making the motors better. So they added the standard GMC steps in the bumper and bedsides. I am not seeing any innovation in the truck, I am only seeing them acquire standard features from other makers. Just give credit to the origins and be honest.
This is still very preliminary but from what is shown in this video, Ford continues to innovate and push the design, styling and performance envelope. That said, here are a few key points which remains to be seen and was not shown in this video: • The digital instrumentation - will Ford keep the traditional analog Speedo & Tach with the round dials or did they go with the goofy F150 digital display that was shown in the 2022 F150 Raptor? Let's hope they didn't go the Raptor route!!! • The new 6.7 Powerstroke must be pushing 550HP and maybe even 1200 FT-LBS with that liquid cooled turbo!!! • Lastly, did Ford fix their transmission lockout problem that prevents the driver from using an open palm to push the shift lever from D into N in an emergency (disconnecting the engine from the drivetrain) without fear of engaging R?!!! All Ford's competitors do not have this issue and nor do cars from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Toyota, Honda, Lexus just to name a few!!! Come on Ford - did you fix it or did you intentionally design in a bad safety feature?!!!
Sure would be nice if they'd get all the bugs out of a few choices and then stop reinventing the wheel. I ran squad, rescue, and fire for decades to unwind after dealing with engineers and architects at my real job. The pre turbo 7.3's could pull a house down but took a while to build speed. The turbo versions were great but cramming them into the E chassis medics was an overheating and service problem. For work, the company bought whatever they could get a deal on. I got tired of the company's no radio no a/c, underpowered, uncomfortable service vehicles so I bought my own Ford XLT lariat extended cabs, or heavier extended vans to haul my tools and travel in. PLEASE PICK AN ENGINE, GET THE BUGS OUT, AND LEAVE IT ALONE. Dip or treat so the darn things won't start rusting right away. Weve had several family minivans and I've had '76, '84, '86, '89, '94, '99, and '04 Ford work vehicles (I travelled 9 states). The first aod trans had their issues but didn't hunt like crazy. I loved the manuals unless I was stuck in city traffic or a jam. Our newer minivan is constantly shifting and doesn't get the same mileage as our '01. Anyone who designs a vehicle that the cab has to come off of to work on/ change an engine should be immediately terminated. Much like burying vacuum canisters and blend door actuators. Serviceability is key. I was an honor grad of an auto and diesel tech program in '81, then started travelling, working on industrial and institutional equipment. I'm a firm believer in the old KISS philosophy. I've been buying OLDER vehicles, much like truckers are buying pre computer gliders. They are easier to service and repair and a headlight and it's ballast aren't $1000. These damn trucks are rusting two years in and cost as much or more than what I've paid for my homes.
Under carriage paint/rust proofing could be improved but I am a big fan of the aluminum body since 2017 on SuperDuty. These body's will not rust like previously for many years I predict. It would be interesting to compare 2014 F150 body vs 2015 aluminum body's. The 14's likely starting to rust around fender flare locations very soon.
Lmao love it! They had a 6.8 V10 they discontinued now it's back in a V8 and the 7.3 is now a gasser 🤣 for real am curious bout this new 3/4 ton 6.8 thouughhhh
Correct me if I'm wrong...You said in this video, and I am surprised that the Ford engineer didn't Correct you, that this is the first time the gas engines in the super duty will have a 10 speed transmission....I'm driving a 2021 F350 with a 7.3L gas engine with a 10 speed transmission....
On the 7.3 Godzilla, HP stays the same 430 and torque increases by 10 ft lbs from 475 to 485.. Unless that torque comes on WAY earlier in the RPM range, I really don't see a reason to wait to get the 7.3 engine in 2023.
HOPEFULY this would be taken as constructive criticism. How about creating your own fuel pump for the 6.7 diesel? The Bosh you are using fails at the smallest fuel contamination and throws debris into the fuel system costing thousands in repairs. Because of this two mods have been created to filter the fuel again before the fuel pump and after , so it doesn't throw debris back into the tank. It is a shame that this has to be done to a new truck at extra expense . Chevy got rid of the Bosh fuel pump for their Duramax and are doing very well. I love Diesel engines and would love to buy a Ford but this fatal flaw stops me from doing it.
Can’t afford a new truck so whoever is buying a new one, please go ez on it as it might be my next truck 😆

After that time through the years we RV'd to every state first with our kids and then Grandsons. We have had Vans and currently trucks. I first bought a 2011 F-350 with the 6.7 and had it for ten years. Had it to Alaska twice. Loved it. Now we have a 2020 also with the 6.7. We tow a 35 foot fifth wheel. The engine is the best.
Can't waite to see the hp ratings of the 7.3l gas.
Zone lighting is seriously LIT
Great coverage on the new Super Duty series JD and so glad to see y'all recovering so well.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but the black truck in the background of the interview appears to be shod with 19.5" rims. It's obviously a dually with a standard cab. Is this truck actually an F-450? Been quite a while since I've seen a standard cab dually and if that is an F-450 it would certainly be cool to see y'all interview/review it!
Giddy up.
i call it the old man step and it is for sure the first thing people make fun of until they use it a couple times
I would love to know if the 2023 Powerstrokes will continue to utilize the CP4 fuel pump, or if Ford has followed suit with GM and RAM on swapping this part out for something generally viewed as more reliable.
I'm pretty sure you won't be able to have the best in class hp and tq without the 36k fuel pressure.
@@markkropf8295 RAM is at 39k with the Bosch CP-ISB21S3 variant of the venerable CP3
@@markkropf8295 I'm pretty sure all the people that had the cp4 grenade their engine would sacrifice horsepower to not have that bill.... Can anyone explain how that failure isn't covered under warranty 🤯
@@lbeck119 Great points. I’m still trying to find out how the manufactures are able to weasel out of aftertreatment sensors and components not being covered under the federal mandated emissions warranty periods.

The all new 2023 GM Sidestep Superduty.
Hennery Ford came up with the first production pickup. So GM has been copying Ford for around a hundred years.
They all copy each other and try to make improvements that they think customers will like. Chevy originally made fun of the tailgate step saying men don’t need steps, then developed their bumper step and side step to compete with Ford. Just like how everyone has cameras everywhere copying ford. The 2 different diesel options having a HO is like Ram does. Chevy is copying the winch. Ford is getting the HUD. Soon they will all add the tailgate camera. Everyone try’s to complete with the competition and copy what sells which is better for consumers. Because they are all similar and are all reliable nowadays you can shop price more than brand options.
Ordered my new 2023 F350 on 10/28. Platinum, crew cab, long bed, 4x4 with the new HO 6.7
Cool story.
We love our new Super Duty with the 7.3.
If your wanting to power work site equipment why not put the 7 kw generator on the engines to really have some power instead of 2kw
I don’t think they wanted to make super duty hybrid and all the media and thought that would come with it, yet.
I’d like to hear some discussion about the fuel system (the cp4 is the weak point obviously and it needs to be resolved). Also, I’d like to hear about any revisions to the front end that may address the death wobble (I had it on my 2017, and have had dampener issues on my 2020)…
That stuff is not attractive interior or hp #'s. Who needs it fixed.
@@yourelectricman, death wobble is a solid front axle issue.... there is no fix besides making sure all the geometry is in check and nothing is wore out.
@@brianthompson9485 well it’s definitely a bigger issue when some trucks are basically brand with this issue
Nice. I would really like to know the power numbers.
It's funny how manufacturers stick with certain numbers. Having a 7.3L diesel in the past, to a gas engine with the same displacement number today. The Triton V10 was a 6.8L engine as well. Kind of humorous. It's also humorous that they copied GM with the integrated side and bumper steps. Ram has some catching up to do!
If you talk to working men they don’t want all of this crap that could malfunction or break. Why do you think the price of a 15 or 20 year old pickup is so high right now? Talk to welders, construction workers, farmers, ect. and you find out they want something that’s not built with plastic and electronics. They don’t last in the line of hard work
Auto tilting headlights or auto rear air leveling should be standard. Tired of being flashed when towing.
Tundras have tilting headlights, don't know if Toyota patented that?
I like the new trailer hitch improvement and the off-road package. Still too many electronics on these base models.
Give me manual windows, a manual transfer case, an AM/FM radio and that’s it!! I hate all of these electronics on all new vehicles!!!!
@@91CavGT5 id even be happy with a tape deck in a car because i still use tapes

@@TurdJesus due to medical reasons, I’m not allowed to drive a manual anymore. Otherwise that would be my preference as well.
Absolutely love your videos on these new trucks, thank you!!
Jeez makes me want to trade in my 2019 f350 king ranch. However I have too much invested into what I have now. First world problems.
The side step and bumper side steps or a deal breaker for me. I'll keep my F350 Dually or look at Dodge.
I wish someone there would ask these guys if the exhaust brake has been improved! I hope it has the tire fill assist app like the ram.
Amen... That's is a great question.... Way more important than steps in the dam bumper 🤣🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
There is no replacement for displacement.
i hope the 6.8 godzuki engine is as reliable as the 6.2 boss engine.
Hey And the 10 speed tranny
Bout time the safety chain eye holes were improved. I installed hammerlocks on my 2017 two days ago. Can't wait to pay it off and upgrade to a newer model, but I grow more attached every time I drive it.
U know all the Southerners especially the Texas Cowboys 🤠 ..gonna have a ball with this one!!!!! Yeeeee doggy 🐕 🤠
I would love to buy a new truck but I can't afford it . I would like to know how people can afford these trucks.
What date are they releasing HP numbers?
Good video 😀 but gm has had bedside step and bumper step for a long time
Great interview and very useful information, thanks JD. I sure would like to have one of the new Tremors. The only drawback to the Ford Tremor I can see is that they do not make it with the long bed. GMC's AT4 does, which for me is the only advantage that gmc has over the Ford. I've had several pickups with the 8 foot bed and several with the 6.5 foot bed, and the 8 foot bed wins hands down every time for utility. Especially if you put an auxiliary fuel tank in the bed, or a tool box. Once you add either one of those to a short bed, there's just not much room left in the bed.
Nice overview JD.
That being said when you get a chance to engage an executive I’d love if you were more of a journalist and less of a fan.
For example when he talks about the new safety chain connection points you could have asked him why it’s taken them so long to address this.
Other good questions.
Why spend the money to develop the 6.8? Why not just make the 7.3 standard?
What about the CP4 fuel pump issues that have been widely reported?
What about the death wobble issues that have also been widely reported?
Just to cite a couple of examples.
Center brake light needs a camera so you can line up goose neck or look in your bed to see if you forgot to load something without getting out
They have those. My 17 PS has that with the XLT package.
Someone needs to make a video of a sport/black pack 23 tremor once they start cranking them out. It’s a shame the new tremor wasn’t at the chicago auto show. Would’ve loved to see one.
So did they fix the pos 10 speed in the superduties? My 20 and 21 king ranches were puking at 50 and 60,000 miles.
The new super duty is awesome, but the prices are nuts, I was looking at a 21 model for 55k then the same trim in a 22 went to 61k, now add all the new cool standard features, at what cost Ford has just priced me out of range.
I have a neighbor who bought a 19 f350 platinum for $85k 4 door short bed. 55-65k for a new truck is kinda cheap like a 2023 f350/450 platinum or limited should 100% be $100k-$120k after all taxes and be on a 22’ wheel that’s not cast iron
@@RideOrDie717 it not cheap when your budget was $55k and the price went to $61k and the 23 model year is going to be higher which in turn prices it even higher past my budget, meaning the prices rising are making it impossible for me to purchase a truck within my budget, it is also making me look to other brands such as Ram because you can still get one at a lower price for the same trim level equivalent
Trucks in general are way over priced and too complex for the average owner to work on.
@Samuel Wasberg dude seriously. Less than 2 years ago you could uy a semi truck for a 130K and you're saying these pickup trucks are priced where they should be
I use to get excited about Ford. After working somewhere in the company there is no way I would buy something overpriced and always be at the shop for recall work. I will be so happy when I leave the company.
Sounds like Nike
I used to be a ford guy too. My first ex wife’s dad worked at the claycomo plant in KC Mo. I drive a Nissan Xterra now. Rock solid reliability and it’s made in Tennessee.
The only thing that worries me is this was a lariat tremor with the digital gauge cluster and heads up display and the 14 cameras that every video touts is an extra option on top of this already fairly loaded (and pricey) truck!
Is it a truck at this point, or a pretty boy toy. Haaaa
what's gonna happen to all those 40,000 superduitys in KY? I would be interested in a incomplete vehicle if the price was right!
I fund auto loans and you should see what these things really cost. A 2017 f250 with 150,000 miles are still in the high $35,000.00 mark a new f 250 heavy duty has been funded as high as $95-100,000.00.
It really does not matter what innovation is in the trucks as you will never be able to buy one as they won't be available. Ford stopped taking 2022 Super Duty orders back in May or June. I guess you can order one near the end of 2022 and hope you get it by the end of 2023.
For stopped taking orders in March. The super duty has been off the market for about 7 months now. Expect a rush of 2023 orders to come in and be another production cluster-f*ck.
I’ll stick with my fully bulletproofed, low mileage (58k mile) 6.0… nonetheless these trucks are beautiful.
Should last you forever just change that trans oil fuel filters and differential oil and you will be good forever lol
I still have my F-350, 4 door dulley with 149,000 with a 366 cubic engine diesel!! Very good truck!! 2003!!
@@michaelmeyers3664 that’s a sweet ride
I had a 1984 F-250 460 or 7.5 gasoline motor ( FORD you need to put these back on the Road ). That got 15 or more MPG. Diesel engines were not widely available then. My 2019 F-250 6.7 Diesel engine is getting around 15 MPG. That engine is great, fast, tough but in 35+ years of innovation and fuel at $4 to $5 per gallon... Why isn't the miles per gallon better?
Has ford Upgraded The camera system to higher resolution? ,the rez on the cameras has been very very disappointing
It would have been nice to see a hybrid. Something like what ford has in the F150. It would be nice to have a 3/4 or 1 ton that could pull a 5th wheel along with 5k watt “generator” connections in the bed.
Sounds like you could use a Nicola truck my friend.
Just watched a video showing thousands of heavy duty trucks sitting at a Kentucky race track " waiting " on chips coming from Taiwan. America is behind the ball on chips.
Imo, bumper steps should have been on F150 years ago.
We really love our 2020 F250. The tiny little greenish display is embarrassing though. I think it was a punishment for those buying the lower end trucks. But it has some of the more important bells and whistles (Godzilla, 110V).
These options really step it up though. Maybe one of these is in our not-too-distant future.
The step bumper,
I was going to put one on my 94 Ford Ranger.
Lol turnarounds Lol
I’m confused… is Tremor the truck trim level, or what I should feel when seeing it’s Price Point?
The tremor is a package that can be added to most trim levels.
Feel for your wallet lol
These new super duty trucks are damn nice! The simple and useable innovations are spot on. Ford has obviously considered customer suggestions. I had heard rumors of the 6.8 liter engine. The original speculation was that it was going to be an option on the F 150. That would be a great option. Are you listening Ford?
No
@@wildbanana5628 🤣
Yes! The 7.3 is overkill for me, but I need the HD frame, brakes, etc... 6.8 will hit the sweet spot!
My dad has had a ‘17 6.2, and the 7.3 Godzilla now, it gets slightly better gas mileage then the 6.2 because the 10speed keeps the revs low
I am happy that they are making the motors better. So they added the standard GMC steps in the bumper and bedsides. I am not seeing any innovation in the truck, I am only seeing them acquire standard features from other makers. Just give credit to the origins and be honest.
I love ya JD but you're a little fan boy on this one!
This is still very preliminary but from what is shown in this video, Ford continues to innovate and push the design, styling and performance envelope. That said, here are a few key points which remains to be seen and was not shown in this video:
• The digital instrumentation - will Ford keep the traditional analog Speedo & Tach with the round dials or did they go with the goofy F150 digital display that was shown in the 2022 F150 Raptor? Let's hope they didn't go the Raptor route!!!
• The new 6.7 Powerstroke must be pushing 550HP and maybe even 1200 FT-LBS with that liquid cooled turbo!!!
• Lastly, did Ford fix their transmission lockout problem that prevents the driver from using an open palm to push the shift lever from D into N in an emergency (disconnecting the engine from the drivetrain) without fear of engaging R?!!! All Ford's competitors do not have this issue and nor do cars from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Toyota, Honda, Lexus just to name a few!!! Come on Ford - did you fix it or did you intentionally design in a bad safety feature?!!!
Is it really innovation when they've taken multiple aspects of the GMC/Chevy and slapped it on their newer line up?
When will they make diesel hybrid SD truck? Like the locomotive train since 1950.
I'll have to wait till the emblem shortage is over and they are 10 old years and only 50k used at that point and not 100k plus 🙄🤣
Sad to see no C-Clamp pockets in the tailgate like the ones in the 2021+ F150
Sweet truck, the host is as a good a salesman as Dave the engineer.
Why cant Ford just stick with a platform and make it bullet proof. Always having to introduce a New engine.
Do they still make heated tailgating so we can sit and wait for tow truck
You’re thinking of shitvrolet!
Sure would be nice if they'd get all the bugs out of a few choices and then stop reinventing the wheel.
I ran squad, rescue, and fire for decades to unwind after dealing with engineers and architects at my real job.
The pre turbo 7.3's could pull a house down but took a while to build speed. The turbo versions were great but cramming them into the E chassis medics was an overheating and service problem.
For work, the company bought whatever they could get a deal on.
I got tired of the company's no radio no a/c, underpowered, uncomfortable service vehicles so I bought my own Ford XLT lariat extended cabs, or heavier extended vans to haul my tools and travel in.
PLEASE PICK AN ENGINE, GET THE BUGS OUT, AND LEAVE IT ALONE.
Dip or treat so the darn things won't start rusting right away.
Weve had several family minivans and I've had '76, '84, '86, '89, '94, '99, and '04 Ford work vehicles (I travelled 9 states). The first aod trans had their issues but didn't hunt like crazy. I loved the manuals unless I was stuck in city traffic or a jam.
Our newer minivan is constantly shifting and doesn't get the same mileage as our '01. Anyone who designs a vehicle that the cab has to come off of to work on/ change an engine should be immediately terminated. Much like burying vacuum canisters and blend door actuators. Serviceability is key.
I was an honor grad of an auto and diesel tech program in '81, then started travelling, working on industrial and institutional equipment.
I'm a firm believer in the old KISS philosophy.
I've been buying OLDER vehicles, much like truckers are buying pre computer gliders. They are easier to service and repair and a headlight and it's ballast aren't $1000.
These damn trucks are rusting two years in and cost as much or more than what I've paid for my homes.
Under carriage paint/rust proofing could be improved but I am a big fan of the aluminum body since 2017 on SuperDuty.
These body's will not rust like previously for many years I predict. It would be interesting to compare 2014 F150 body vs 2015 aluminum body's. The 14's likely starting to rust around fender flare locations very soon.
LOL the 5.4 3V and " a few issues on a new engine platform" can't be said in the same sentence
I preffer much engine 6.7L diesel, but the Best thing I loved that truck is the new sound system B&O 😎💪
Have you been in the new f150? I have one... the sound is nothing to brag about.
Lmao love it! They had a 6.8 V10 they discontinued now it's back in a V8 and the 7.3 is now a gasser 🤣 for real am curious bout this new 3/4 ton 6.8 thouughhhh
Correct me if I'm wrong...You said in this video, and I am surprised that the Ford engineer didn't Correct you, that this is the first time the gas engines in the super duty will have a 10 speed transmission....I'm driving a 2021 F350 with a 7.3L gas engine with a 10 speed transmission....
Where’s my tilt forward fiberglass front cap ? Make it much easier to work on and lighter like a big truck.
imagine introducing features to a truck that were around 60 years ago and calling it innovative
Id rather have one of those kentucky fords and modify it to not use chips.
On the 7.3 Godzilla, HP stays the same 430 and torque increases by 10 ft lbs from 475 to 485.. Unless that torque comes on WAY earlier in the RPM range, I really don't see a reason to wait to get the 7.3 engine in 2023.
You said 10 speed was all new “for gas engines” but they’ve been offering it on the 7.3 “Godzilla” since it came out.
well, do they take first born children as payment? $100k+ for these infotainment system on wheels.
Go back to the F450 regular cab you show in the first few seconds of the video!!
HOPEFULY this would be taken as constructive criticism. How about creating your own fuel pump for the 6.7 diesel? The Bosh you are using fails at the smallest fuel contamination and throws debris into the fuel system costing thousands in repairs. Because of this two mods have been created to filter the fuel again before the fuel pump and after , so it doesn't throw debris back into the tank. It is a shame that this has to be done to a new truck at extra expense . Chevy got rid of the Bosh fuel pump for their Duramax and are doing very well. I love Diesel engines and would love to buy a Ford but this fatal flaw stops me from doing it.
