Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
From personal experience?
He’s too much. Makes me tired watching him. I can only imagine how he beats on theses trucks. Plus every three months he flips and contradicts himself
Simple solution, buy a vehicle designed for 2 million miles of towing. Buy a semi... Have a great week Alex.
Exactly 😅
What truck are you getting 2 million miles out of? Modern trucks aint doing 2 million miles
Need a CDL
Pickup trucks having major failures at 38k miles and failing transmissions at 60k is absolutely unexecptable. There is a guy on youtube who has almost 500k miles on his old dodge hotshot truck.
Try a baby freightliner. Fl70 I think they are.
Alex, quit holding it in and tell us what you really think!
I'm in 5 minutes and I am already fed up with your schtick. For 3 years you trashed Ram and praised Ford. Now,
all of a sudden you're praising Ram and trashing Ford. I am a Dodge/Ram fan for the record. What's up Alex?
Are you doing this for clicks or what?
its probably for the clicks.
because ford is shit now, and he is being honest.
Recall on ford axle tubes 2020,.2021 350 as of now. He really needs a Prozac.
Alex “When’s the last time you saw a Chevy work truck?” Red and White Chevy flatbed work truck right behind him in the video 😂
I have been running 6.7 fords since they came out. In Canada with rough roads, shit diesel (with additive added), heavier loads than your non CDL loads. No trans problems, nobody flashing me with their high beams because I use air bags and know how to balance a load. No cp4 problems to speak of yet but I do worry about them. Buying a new gm or ram gets you a cp4 as well. Oil changed every 8000km (5000 miles) and fuel filters every second oil change. Zero issues with my fords. I had a 2020 ram 5500 as a rental last summer and my employees and myself all hated the seats, and even with the aisin Trans it still did the famous shifting up and down like crazy on hills and flaring between gears like the pos dodge trans always has. Best chance with a dodge is getting a 6 speed manual with a cp3 which is no longer an option so it's a no brainer we will stay ford until there is something better.
Btw dude less blow before these uneducated speeches would make you seem alot less sketchy and more reliable to listen too for a review. Please do an honest comparison of cost between a three fords you have had compared to one of the two dodges you have owned.
I betcha part of the problem with his transmissions is lack of maintenance, when you're towing heavy you've gotta keep up with that trans maintenance or you're going to hurt it, the dodges are already used to shitty transmissions and it makes that Aisin look awesome. We've had tons of issues with a 15 denali 2500's allison ourselves, got the truck from an old lady that never towed with 63k, trans went at 70. We put a new one in and are only at 90k and this one's already going, we're gonna trade it off for an f350 gasser because we don't tow heavy often enough to need the diesel, and the maintenance on it is getting way too expensive for how little we use it, and those new CP4 trucks are just scary.
My 20 f350 has been good to me too.
Some of those reasons happen like the lights issue. But as for my trans I serviced it at 50k even tho Ford says 100k heavy duty use. I used fuel additives and oil additives from day one and no issues.
I swapped all other fluids too at 50k. Cdl hotshot towing 10-19k lbs on my trailer daily . I am currently trading up to a 450 cause around 40k gross the f350 doesn’t like it. Plenty of power just doesn’t stop very well and doesn’t tow the best.
The engin brake worked ok for me in the north east. Just don’t go hauling azz b4 a down grade . The engin brake held my speed pretty good on our little mtns. Been happy w my truck just need a bigger truck for my lanes.
Hi Alex, Sorry to hear all the problems with your ford. I had a feeling that after the Dodge you weren't going to be happy over time, but it's one of those thing you have to experience your self. Thanks for the video.
yep he's been De-Forded only happens once
You said the fuel in the US is bad. That is true. But, I have been telling you for a long time to stop buying fuel at the truck stops. Get it at the larger 7-11's or where ever. Truck stop diesel is 20 % bio and the small stations are 10 % bio. Big difference there and helps on MPG and pump price.
If your truck is squatting that much in the rear that it is causing a problem with the head lights, either your springs are bad or your load is not balanced. You are tagged at 26,000 and I am tagged at 39,999 and I never have a problem with my headlights bothering anybody on with my F350.
Exactly look at most non cdl guys they don’t know how to load a trailer.
This dude would not no a good truck if it was right in front of him .lord he changes trailer axles like I do my underwear because he doesn't no how to drive. But he can talk up a storm for sure
Ive drove a 17 f550 and a 21 350 for work, and I’ll say the padding on the seats wear out on the left side really fast😂
With the exception of the CP4 (big problem i agree, down time is a killer!), Tell us the actual daily cost comparison (fuel economy) is compared to the Ram, what costs you more per mile?
WhAt are pros of the ram ? And what truck is the best in your opinion... keep up the good work
Wow - I wasn't expecting such good notes
Headlight problem? - Every truck with halogens in this country has this issue since they do not self level (like Europe) so install Air bags for christs sake and problem is solved. CP4 issue - Every other HD truck has to deal with it due to poor diesel in the US, so add a better filtering system. 10r Trans - have you read about the horror stories on the Ram trans? Your 10r still works though, right? Has it left you stranded like Ram owners? Plus you bought the cheapest version of the truck possible, and then you compare it to a limited Ram? C'mon bud, get a grip.
It’s still a really good truck as a rental from enterprise tho
Sounds like you’re the one that needs to get a grip. He RENTS these from Enterprise. They are not his to modify to make them work.
@@donleamon8653 so.... even though I showed that these aren’t just low end trimmed ford problems, and that his brand bashing is unjustified since at that level they all have most of these issues, somehow my point is invalid? Grow up.
@@TowPiglet he is right, that is like the lowest possible package. Looks like u need a higher trim, -lariat, king ranch, platinum, limited? All have the LED headlights which are great and look fantastic.
@@TowPiglet complaining about the transmission, is it the 10 speed or 6? Also not too mention you could have the lower axle and amp. There is a 4.30 axle, which does a fantastic job.
Good afternoon Alex. I like to watch your videos. Could you tell me if the F350 dually models 2021 and 2022 have the same problems as 2020 or have they been fixed? Tks.
There's nothing wrong with doing hotshot with a 2020 Ford f350 4x4 diesel super duty
We just bought our first truck. Went with Ram even though Ford is $5-7k less. Thanks for the great vids.
Cummins engine with Aisin trans thats were the reliabilty is
That's interesting 1.... I am a Ford F Series fan... But I'm happy to listen to your points... It was really educative... And you know what you are talking about... Thanks...
CP4 High pressure fuel pump is used in many other trucks other than Ford so that's a universal issue for diesels. My 2015 f250 made it to 375,000 before failing. Replaced and now on 620,000 with no problem. 2020 lights I agree with but seems like a issue that airbags would correct.
Nice to see a 15 with high miles,just tipped 300k on mine just front cover leak,so far.these trucks are monsters;
LOL you got 375K out of any !!! i mean any Powerstroke??? you have a Unicorn or you just left out the other 10K$ repairs??? you must mean 1996 7.3 250 ?? ua-cam.com/video/8o2LGuzl0go/v-deo.html
Had my headlights aimed down lower. Did the trick- think some come a little high from the factory.
You’re videos always brighten up my whole day 😊😊😊😊
All fuel is junk unless you use a fuel supplement you have to use a fuel supplement the fuel is way too dry
@@chrisweymuth7375 very useful informative good information thank you bud appreciate it have a blessed day bud 😊😊😊😊
As far as I know, gm, ford and ram all use the vgt as an exhaust brake. Just major differences in the programming between manufacturers. None of the light duty diesels offer an oem engine brake.
Alright I am going to take my 2020 F450 to carmax now.
Don’t! Just get a CP4 disaster prevention kit
Any issues with your trans?
@@dor1tomcswagger69 the ford trannys just need to be recalibrated at about 70k, 60 if towing. If you don’t than you have issues
@@americantrucknation4891 or Fords and GMs tuning for their transmission are subpar I find the same with FCA and the zf8spd the tuners have better trans tunes than the automakers I've had 2 trans updates which Im pretty sure made it worse 😂
Badass bro. I just got to your channel. GREAT CONTENT!!!
The quality of fuel is poor because of the epa forcing it to be low sulphur.
Nonsense. All fuel in developed countries is low sulfur. People like you would blame the EPA if your daughter was pregnant
@@kevinbarry71 The EPA fucks all of us so.......
@@kevinbarry71 the EPA should follow the science and let nuclear plants be built.
Thanks! Great video. Can you do a follow-updeccribign which new truck is the best and why - I assume RAM.
Best video ever Alex love what you do man I’m a RAM guy myself sucks Ford is having problems but I’m sure they well get it figured out hopefully it doesn’t take them a decade like it did with the 6.0/6.4 deal they had in there trucks 🤷🏻♂️
I'm sticking with my 1999 F350's with the 7.3. But, think about this Alex...what percentage of your truck's mileage is without the trailer? Doesn't it make sense to adjust the truck level, seat position, mirrors and LIGHTS for the normal use of the truck? And doesn't your gooseneck setup allow you to adjust your pin forward a little? Anyway, thanks for the review. Keep on trucking and stay safe!
Hey Alex, I do not own a Ford and never will. But, on a good note we bought another ram and added to our small fleet. I've learned alot just from watching your videos.
I have a question, would you please show me the correct way to strap a vehicle down?
I'm with you on the headlights. My work has a 550 as a tow truck, and everytime I'm loaded I get high beam flashed. Even sitting at our yard and other co workers say "why are your high beams on
Makes me glad my 2019 Super Duty Platinum has the tried and true 6spd transmission with no issues 👍
Yes the 2019 6 speed is a good transmission. Keep it!
AFAIK they still use the 6R140 in the medium duty 650/750 series trucks, so that says it all IMO.
This is some good information. I was contemplating going back to ford in 2020. Figured I would wait and see how things went with the new transmission. Think I'm going to keep my 2018 Ram 3500. Zero issues hauling my 40' 5th wheel around the country for work. Maybe in the next year or two Ford will get it right. Wonder how the new Duramax trucks with the 10 speed are holding up?!
Terrible to my knowledge my buddy blew up his with in the first 10K miles and now he's wsiting on a Transmission but I've had 0 issues with my 2020 450 and I'm at 150K miles
Keep the RAM IMO. And the 2019+ RAMs are more problematic too.
Hi Alex, I have a 2020 Ford F-350 SRW with 98k hotshot miles and have not had one issue with it. I add optilube with every diesel fill and use an Amsoil bypass filter along with Rotella T6 oil. As for the transmission I do regular flushes and use the tow haul mode all the time. I do agree that the engine break could be better and I do get high beam flashes a lot even with air bags.
"I do regular flushes and use the tow haul mode all the time" won't save you my friend sell it now because after the first time it happens you'll never get trade in value for it until its fixed it then your upside down $$$ and be out 20K when the Tranny fixes show up in carfax . I have a friend In a lawsuit after selling his f350 and the tranny went out 60 days later 2nd Ower claims he knew as it had been to the dealer who showed previous tranny codes onfile....hell never buy another Fraud as he calls them, he's splitting the Trany cost rebuild the 2nd owner Hes now ANTI Ford anything as he has an acquaintance with similar Tranny issues now so he's pissed forever.
Do you still have your f350 if so how is it holding up..
@@limoniefreshlimoniefresh2038 I sold the F350 not long after getting my CDL, had I bought a dually I would have kept it. The F350 had 217k miles when I sold it to my neighbor and he loves it. Now I have an F450 and I am very happy with the Ford trucks.
Thanks for the review 👌
So will you be switching back to rams
Nice and Well Deserved Rant Alex! Props to The Man.
Hey Alex, I have a 2012 F350 work truck and my transmission does the exact same thing your describing going from 1 to 2 gear. Mine does need a new transmission, still drives but on the way out
We need to look at what the manufacturer’s are really building these trucks for. Is it Hotshot or the local contractors towing their equipment around their community. But also Including the ranchers and camper folks. Big difference in pounding out 800 miles a day after day. Verses a week. Nobody builds a perfect vehicle that’s why they all have service bays.
Interesting. What year did Ford incorporate the CP4 fuel pump?
I got a 2019 Ford with 255,000 miles I guess I've been blessed with no issues but I have heard some negative on the 2020s hopefully they'll have it all figured out when I get a new one 2022
Just get CP4 disaster prevention kit and you’re good
Hi. I watched one of ur older videos and I’m wondering how I can get that “what you need to start” spreadsheet?
My 2020 ram 6.7L also has the cp4. Failed at 11000 miles. Spent 5 weeks in the shop. Warranty covered the 15k repair, but not my revenue for 5 weeks! The 2021 ram has supposedly gone to a different pump. I now use fuel supplement to lube the pump. Aside from that the ram is superior in every way. Btw I am CDL hotshot at 43k gross. Aisin w the exhaust break works great. Never touch the brakes. As always, great info! Keep the videos coming Alex!
I understand Dodge went back to the CP3. So because new failed. They went back. FORD had the 7.3 PSD that was looking dang good. But EPA a required changes. Since then they are trying to get a decent one. My 7.3 I almost sold. So glad I didn’t.
Every one who runs diesel should use something for lube. Don't trust the quality of the fuel across the country. Change the fuel filters regularly. As for transmission issues GO MANUAL if you tow heavy 😎 38 years of trucking has taught me a lot 👍
@@JimGetten wish you could still get manual in light diesel trucks .also use the fuel addative for lubrecity .you are on point.
Yes, 2021s have a modded CP3 design, larger injectors with better spray control, and larger lines. Even when filling up at high flow stations, I still lube the system. Just for piece of mind.
Had 3 Ram’s and just switched to the Ford. Couldn’t pay me to go back. Better truck in every way. Only thing I miss is the sound of that Cummins.
Alex, what is the maximum allowable total weight of your trailer with a full load of freight?
9,500 pounds
Hi Alex
What you think about cdl b for hotshot trucking? Is it enough?
Do the Ford or ram have a motor in the light like the tundra. So when the back goes down and front goes up you turn the dial and the lights will go more up or down
Lol Ford commercial after the video ended. That was great.
I don’t know if it was you or not but one of your truck just passed me in Ohio That’s the first time I’ve seen one of your trucks on the road. That’s pretty cool
The headlights thing. Proof they design these trucks for grocery runs.
Agree with u on everything but didn’t understand the hazard flashing light point, They are there to use them when u need to communicate to other drivers of potencial dangerous situations on t road.. or there is a book regarding how u supposed to use them?
Awesome content. Thank you
You have to drive that transmission like a manual when slowing down. Got to keep the rpm up for the brake to work.
I had a tune that used my VG turbo as an exhaust brake programmed into a tow tune in my 07 F350 with the infamous 6.0 Powerstroke. It did a good job at holding the truck back even when I grossed 34k lbs ( I know I shouldn't have hauled that much weight but I did) . You can airbag the drive axle. If you own it, you can adjust it ( I am not saying that you should have to. I agree that Ford should do better). I don't know what's causing the transmissions to break so I won't comment on that.
Transmission problem was the crankshaft filter. Have to replace them around 70k miles
Aren't chevys and rams using the cp4 too?
I love your videos! But I’ve gotta say your main problem is it’s a lease so you can’t do the simple things to fix some of these issues. For the headlights I spent $150 and replaced them with LED’s PROPERLY MADE LED’s. And now I never get flashed. Also these trucks need airbags with the kind of weight we haul. I have bags in mine and can adjust them on the fly, my headlights always shine onto the road. I also think your using the exhaust break wrong or not using it at all because it DOES have one. You could also be creating the hills to fast and that sets you up for excessive speed down the hills. I cross the Rockies regularly on all of the major interstates and never have a problem holding speed. As I crest a hill I engage AUTO Exhaust Brake and my speed never climbs above 1 or 2 MPH from that point on.
Your comments on the exhaust brakes are spot on. I routinely pull 24000 pounds with zero issues. What manufacture allows for load squat for the lights? NONE!! So your airbag comment is once again spot on! The seats could be better but I’ve made a living sitting in a seat and they all get uncomfortable after awhile, especially when we get older. The tranny does shift a bit to firm for my liking. Zero fuel issues so far, not saying there couldn’t be. But he lost me with the light rant and pretty much concedes he’s an idiot!
The seats in the 2017 are super comfy!!!
This makes me so happy to be burning gasoline in a 6 speed.
Yep, gasoline motor for me. Godzillah Killah! I know many diesel loving truck drivers switching...
@Julian Ramirez , Please let me know Julian. I have a 2005 F-350 and looking to get a new F-450. What are the issues that you may know about?🤔
@Julian Ramirez , Thank You Julian, great explanation. I am a Ford guy as well. I live in Farm Country Washington State and am looking to upgrade to a F-450 dually chassis cab. I despise the smell of diesel and all the maintenance associated with it. I prefer gas. It's just cleaner. I'm not Farming, but am also looking to get a fifth wheel trailer and want a rigid truck to handle the weight. Im not using it to tow a 4 car trailer or anything like that. Ford to me has always been a trendsetter in the business and the go to vehicle for most municipal applications and services.
Gracias Amigo!👍🙏🇺🇲🇧🇷
Jhonny, Da P8NTRMAN🎨
@Julian Ramirez , you got that right Muchacho. More hills and mountain ranges out here. Real different from where I used to live, out in Massachusetts. I will see what is better. Thank You! Great points you are sharing. God Bless!👍🤔
I had a 2017 f250 6.2 lariat ultimate. Was a total dog towing anything over 8k and got terrible mileage doing anything. So now I have the 2021 f350 6.7 and it’s impressive, but if I wasn’t towing much weight, I’d stick with a gas hd for sure. Would probably last a lot longer than a half ton towing near its max.
My friend something isn't right with you in this video, because on this one (Maintenance & 75K mile review - 2020 FORD F350) you even said that the Ford with the 10 speed was much better than any RAM. You specifically specify with the 10 speed. I like your videos but try not to say one thing today and another one tomorrow. Is not good for your credibility. Much respect for you and please do not get upset is not my intention. Take care, God bless.
I thought he loved the 10 speed also...I have one and like it so far. Dodge just put out big recall on the 3500... something about causing a fire. Also Dodge had lot of CP4 issues that's why they changed for 2021.
I'm going to do the best with maintaining the truck and trailer. So far I like the truck and have not had any problems with the seat. I never noticed a problem with my lights. I have a Flatbed that I bought with a cab and chassis so I have more leafsprings. I did just mount a 91gal tank and pump on the back.
Always enjoy your videos. I have learned quite a few things watching them.
It is not the first time that he tries to confuse his subscribers, for me he is a great liar.
For starters ….in the beginning he did like the 10 speed and so did everyone else, but after 50-60k with heavy towing, they turn to trash. It’s indisputable…..it’s happening all over the industry. The ford 10 speed is not a commercial grade transmission. It’s a vacation/grocery getter transmission at best.
Great video Alex! Something else needs to be said here considering the times we live in for some reason people that are loyal Ford truck buyers feel the need to lie about the repairs, I have friends who own these trucks and they recommended them to other friends knowing they were lying when they said I’ve had no problems and they thought they were extremely reliable trucks after having transmission issues and fuel pump issues and other issues with the truck, Multiple times I’m 52 years old I’ve seen Ford build 2 other garbage power stroke engines which were lucky to break 100,000 miles before DEAD engines back in 2012 through 14 we’re garbage as well you couldn’t use one part from that engine internals to rebuild it I don’t know why people that drive Ford have the need to be liars but never trust anyone who recommends Ford, I realize dodge trucks have flaws as well but they’re not even close to the same cost for those flaws and most of them won’t put you out of business for two weeks while it’s being repaired however I do know many people on 3500s or half tons three-quarter tons. And all of them have all these RAM trucks for years and years with no problems and very few problems and they aren't liars that Ford owners are, stay away from Frauds it will bite you with every single truck made! And that fall will cost you $10,000 at some point! or what I call PANIC Mode !
My 2014 ram 6.4 hemi was $40,000 out of pocket in repairs in 3 years. I was always loyal to ram until then. I have a 2018 F350 and not 1 problem in 150,000 miles. Honestly i dont even think its people lying, i think it has alot to do with luck. Seriously I would never lie about a product, I dont own stock in ford, Im just saying what happend to me and my life experince.
@@Hotshot1989 i think this review is a diesel
hey smart one the 6.7 powerstroke IS THE FIRST diesel engine ford has made the 7.3, 6.0, 6.4 were all made by navistar international get yo facts google is free
One of your previous videos is how I learned about the Ford headlights. I thought the same thing here comes an idiot with his high beams and I would flash him all the time.
I can't speak to Ford's CP4 fuel pump directly since I own an Chevy Duramax. But mine is the LML Duramax with the CP4 pump and they are known for going out and taking the whole fuel injection system with it. The fix is to run a lift pump. Apparently, CP4 pumps are sensitive to air in the fuel over time causing them to wear out. And the lift pump resolves that issue by maintaining a steady flow of fuel. My 2011 has 229,000 miles, and a lift pump, and is still going strong.
Its a good thing you don't drive a 80,000 lb semi in the mountains. You would kill somebody with your thoughts on depending on a exhaust brake.
Alex, the trucker could be telling you it's ok to pull back in 😂😂
If a trucker uses his high beam to do that (specifically at night) is a dummy.
Did you recently pass by kingman arizona? Because i saw a grey ram 3500 megacab with a flatbed but couldnt tell if it was you
No sir
You need to get ya some CHEESE 🧀 to go with that whine 😂
Lmfaoooo good one never heard that before gotta use that to the complainers at work
Ford thought they had had the best truck when they came out without the 10 speed transmission. Now they realize they have a nightmare on their hands.
Hello sir. Does Ford make a 2022 with a 6.2 gas engine and a six speed auto trans? Thanks.
Some Canadians, so far I haven’t heard from elsewhere but with the 10 speeds, the engine is constantly in the torque curve and is blowing out axle tubes which takes out everything in the rear end, tank, shaft, leafs, beds, brake lines, spare tires etc
I had a 1990 7.3L 4 wheel drive..a great truck but when they wouldn’t honor a paint recall for the hood because the dealer didn’t tell me it was a dealer only recall notice, that was the last Ford I bought..just not happy about needing to pay $500 to have the hood repainted because they had used a primer that failed.
Think about the person that gets a “deal” on one of these used and abused rentals at the Enterprise Used Car Sales lot, ticking time bombs lol
The headlight issue is absolutely INSANE! To the point that I've gotten used to knowing this light pattern so well that I'm like "oh here comes another Super Duty". They have an absolutely crazy amount of glare, and blind everybody on the road. Several channels and journalists have pointed it out. Being in front of one you better pray you have self dimming mirrors in your vehicle....
Yeah, if I had a Super Duty with halogens I would put the OE LEDs on there. Im really nice to those guys, I feel bad. they get flashed all the time
I know this feeling all too well. I drive a 2020 F-250 for work. As if it wasn’t bad enough before, my truck has a utility bed on it as well, so it was very low in the rear. I had to put airbags on the truck just to keep the rear end from bottoming out. I got flashed every single day multiple times.
Or you could have 5% tint on your rear windows and filter most of that brightness out. Love my tinted windows!
The Ram headlights seem ok going down the road. My 5500 doesnt squat in the rear too much unless I'm loaded really heavy. But one thing I do hate is you cant turn off the headlights EVER. The halo rings say on anytime the engine runs. If I'm parked at a truck stop I'm shining lights at the guy across from me. I may actually cut those wires if I can find them.
There is 1 screw on each side and it literally takes 2 minutes. You can set it so you don’t have to adjust again. Just got to use a small amount of common sense and not be lazy. I do think it’s kind of funny that you will never buy one but you’ve had three or four? SMH!
Do you know what a torque converter locking up feels like?
Love this.
But you said while back it’s so awesome. Couldn’t give me one unless I could sell it 😂
Hotshot insurance? Do you have to list trailer on insurance? Obviously trailer is covered when attached to truck. 1million + 100k cargo. Friend of mine hauls campers, his insurance is 3rd of the price. Can I just say I'm hauling campers or general freight?
Saw one of your trucks in Milford ct yesterday sleeping at a pilot. Not sure if u or not but good to see you on the road. Drive safe my friend. How about a video of how ifta fees should be viewed.
Can You Make A Video Focusing On Enterprise Rentals Like Talking Number Etc? If There Is One Can I Be Directed To It
100% on the god damn headlights. Drove across the country with an empty equipment trailer and got flashed by half the trucks in the country. Very embarrassing
My 10speed has been a nightmare. One September came they fixed the problems.
People turn their hazards on so that other cars can see them during heavy rain. That way it creates a safe path for all cars to be able to see clearly and follow
Please stop doing this.
But on vehicles that have brake lights and turn signals combined, the hazard lights will disable the brake lights.
Moral of the story Do not buy a Ford diesel and Do not buy an ex Enterprise rental.
How have you gone through 3 Transmissions almost I have a 2020 450 and I have almost 150K on it with the original Transmission and I tpw a 50 foot deck trailer with a mini ex two skids and 3 attachments still on the same Transmission
Did they service the transmission when u had it serviced?
No
The new 10 speeds have a 150K mile service interval....yeah, pretty stupid. Most of the problems with these new trannys is most likely going too long without a service. I've never let any vehicle go past 40K without a drain and fill. It's as if Ford is intentionally trying to damage these things in order to sell new transmissions.
I agree 💯 percent regarding the lights. I feel like an idiot on the highway with mine
Go ahead Alex that's right bro you tell'em 🤣😂👍
Ram got smart and ditched the CP4 for 2021 and went back to the CP3 with larger lines and injectors, which helped with fuel delivery and power increases. 2020-current Fords are not going to age well on the secondhand market due to the 10spd trans issues and CP4. Around 50-60k miles, major problems start to pop up. #cumminslife
Alex I'm a hot shot trucker to I'm in a group with 6 other guy's I'm cdl driver and a big rig driver before hotshot for over 30 years
I don't consider the seats to be minor... being comfortable is VERY important, especially for you who spends most of your life in them. I've been trying to find a nice set of 4th gen RAM seats (cloth) for my 2005, since they're a direct bolt-in.
I thought Ford had a real exhaust brake... very surprised they don't. I love the PacBrake in my 2005... that plus it being a manual trans (G56) and it works VERY VERY well.
Nice Vid.. 2022 F250 Platinum still on the way 💪🏽
It would be cool if trucks had self leveling headlights that adjust according to rear suspension squat after attaching a trailer
They will add that now and charge an extra $7500 for that option.
Truckers flash you so you can move over. And mind you you’re driving an XLT upgrade to a higher trim truck and you’ll get better seats etc. led lights
Can you put a aux fuel cell in a enterprise rental truck?
Agree to almost all the issues. Drove a 2020 f350 all last year hauling boats. However I LOVED the seats! They’re definitely tubby boy friendly 🤣 the engine brake was the WORST though.... that being said the turbo sounds magnificent after break in ❤️
I honestly like the power over the braking although braking is more important.
Yeah, seats are more of a personal preference thing.
I could've told you all of that. Our 2014 ram has been on the road 3 yrs 1 month now. 523,000 and still crossing the country, loaded heavy every week.
My co worker's 2014 spun a bearing at 50K miles.
4th gen RAM with Cummins/Aisin is a pretty solid rig. I'd still go G56 myself even though the clutch and flywheel needs fixed.
The cp4 has been used sense the 6.7 came out. if your really worried about it get a disaster prevention kit.
The transmission issue you are describing is now under total recall for repair...if people have already repaired at their cost...Ford is reimbursing costs...from the info I have seen
I’ve noticed the headlight thing, I’ve only had my truck for two months probably 1800 miles, people flash at me , it’s annoying
I only drove a 2016 Ford tow truck but yea there's no good engine braking. The 2018 Ram I'm driving is so good especially with tow mode on. I know the seats are better in the ram and I do get annoyed with the dual beam when I see other Ford hotshots coming or going.
So alot of brands have had the cp4 pump and every 6.7 powerstroke currently has them my 12 358k zero problem with pump i currently drive my 2021 f450 the breaks on that work perfectly fine my terex 1056c weighs 32k by itself and have absolutely no problem stopping it or moving forward
Did you deliver the demo ranch fire truck
I love the all 4 on high beams! I even upgraded them to led...the solution is a set of sway stops so the rear overloads engage sooner reducing the squat.
