The exact set up I want. Nice 👍

Thanks for making this video its helping my decision making a lot.

That truck gets up and goes wow!

Those air ride seats make a world of difference. I’ve driven a Ford L9000 with them and an International medium duty without them and you’re miserable without them. Ford makes great dump trucks and they make the best chassis’s throughout their entire truck lineup.

Best video of the 650/750 made so far. Thanks bud

That’s a nice truck! I’m sure it will serve you well. Right on buddy!!!

This is a cool video. I’ve been fascinated with these medium duty trucks ever since I was a kid. I think it is because of how versatile they are as a can and chassis. Outfit it how you need it. I saw a lot of F550’s as flatbeds for construction crews and a lot of F750’s as dump trucks, actually.

Those old L series Fords were wonderful trucks. Never heard a bad word about them from OTR drivers. Was a shame when Ford left the class 8 market. New truck looks great, amazing what a 'medium duty' is capable of now with modern technology

Love this modern look F750. Great truck.

Tyler MacConnell they are a sharp lookin truck. Thanks for commenting🙏🏻

I started in 70s, with a F-600 big Gas engine A 4 and two speed rear. Pulled a CASE 580 meany a mile with that. Lots of city driving to work site's. It had the Low sided dump bed.

I just realized ford made an f550 and f750 today! Man these are beautiful trucks. I've known about the f650 for years. I'm surprised it took me this long to connect the dots with the different models!

Sweet truck man! Congrats! I really like that should be very handy for you!

Looks so easy to get around in

Thanks for the awesome review! Wish manufacturers actually ran their trucks around like this instead of walking around them

I work for a county road dept. All of our dump trucks and semi's as well as most of our equipment have air ride seats. They are nice when you spend all day in them, but man can they be a pain in the butt. Most of our air leaks develop in the seat. We have one of the those Ford F750's at my shop. It's set up as a flatbed with a dump bed on it. In the fall and winter we put our chip box on it and use it as our chip truck. It hauls about 12 yards of chips with no issue, plus it pulls our chipper. Ours has hydraulic brakes though which I hate. There is no Park on those trucks. It's Neutral with the parking brake set. If you let anyone drive it, or move it make sure they know the parking brake must be set. Might not be as big of an issue for you since you have air brakes but in ours we've had some people forget to set the parking brake. Ever see a bunch of county road works running after their truck?

Nice truck brother. Hope it brings many a mile for ya. Thanks for posting.

Todd, love the channel. I really appreciate how thorough you are in all your videos. My 1.5 yr old son absolutely loves the Todd Cast. I recently started a small excavation business and I chose to start out with a new Kubota Mini ex and things have been progressing quite nicely. My question for you is with overhead on the machine and trailers and my pickup, when did you decide it was time to buy the dump truck with all your other expenses?

I like your truck. I’m down here by Wilmington and my dad and I run a quad and a quint. Would love to have something like this one day to make deliveries on the beach.

@@reggieanderson885 Don't know exactly. I was driving on the interstate when it suddenly started clattering horribly. I got pulled over onto the shoulder and got it turned off. Got out to look underneath expecting to find oil and engine parts on the ground underneath, but nothing. Got back in and tried to crank it over and it was locked up solid. Had it towed to the dealer and they told me that it was quite common on the detuned 450-550 6.7L for the lower half to go, but he didn't elaborate. It was fixed under warranty, so I didn't care other than I was without the truck for a little over 3 weeks while they messed with it. The truck had a Swaploader hooklift hoist and was my only truck and was what I used for my dumpster business, so was out of business for 3 weeks with cans scattered around town at customer's properties and no way to move them and a lot of unhappy customers to deal with. The rear end (differential) also went out on that truck at 62k and was not covered under warranty, so I had lots of issues with that truck. Happiest day was the day I found someone to buy the truck with just over 100k miles on it. Had about $110k in building the truck and only got $20k for it, so NOT a happy ownership experience.

@Kangenpower7

2 жыл бұрын

The gas engine will cost about $6,000 less than the diesel, but you will not get the 9 MPG that he is getting with the 6.7L Diesel. Perhaps if you run propane? Many areas of the country, the propane is much less expensive, and there is "Renewable Propane" in some locations. Many cities are buying the gas version, to save on purchase cost, but don't really care much about the cost of the gasoline. Depends on the miles you run every month.
