There is a change to how the engine brake works though not necessarily to it performance. in the 2020 trucks the vanes are controlled with an electronic actuator versus how they were previously controlled which was with a hydraulic actuator.

Frames and front ends on Super Duty’s were alway better on average than other makes, for example tow trucks, when the F350 custom chassis for tow trucks used to be called F450’s in the books back in the late 70’s and 80’s they didn’t say it on the truck but that’s what they were. Even today if I need a work truck I wouldn’t buy anything but a Ford, in my opinion, the suspensions and frames are still better than the competitors until you get into a true commercial chassis.

I just traded my 2019 F250 for a 2021 F450. I tow a 14k Grand Design Reflexion, the F250 did ok, but looking forward to towing with my new F450....should be a breeze.

Great video!

Would REALLY love to see a video around the thoughts of buying a used 450 in the $35k-$45k range. Bang for the buck. Lower miles with less features VS higher miles with more features. And would the extra features/ higher packages really be worth it on a truck being used only for camping. Our F250 XL gas gets the job done if we stay out of grades. But it isn't near as comfortable as our F150 king ranch/ grocery getter. Looking to trade them both in for a 450 soon. Do we go XL,XLT for lower miles, or King Ranch with higher miles?

Love the videos! Can you tell me what tire pressure your running on those tires? The max 110 cold? What do you run on your F-450? I have a F-450 and there seems to be a lot of confusion on what tire pressure to run on these tires when loaded vs not towing. Thanks

I really want to see the 7.3 towing 20k

I might have to trade up to the 2020.

Another great video

Big Tex is big flex!

Tfl truck and "mister truck" on that KZread channel has some great towing systems for fifth wheels and the hitch.

In today's pickup world, massive tow numbers get tossed around in conversation to the point that most people don't have good perspective of how much weight this really is. 30,000 lbs is a staggering amount of weight to put behind a pickup truck and nothing to be taken lightly. It wasn't too many years ago when the only people that pulled that kind of weight were farmers and ranchers, and many times they needed to have the truck in 4wd low in order to generate enough torque to move the load. Casual drivers and weekend RV enthusiasts would be well advised to stay away from extreme weights even if their truck is capable to performing the work.

Question: I have a ‘19 and I use the exhaust brake while towing a 16k lb fifth wheel. What is a safe rpm window to keep it in? Also, I noticed when I’m through breaking and on to accelerating, the exhaust brake holds for awhile as I accelerate. It honestly doesn’t seem that it is good for the engine. I can imagine how nice a ten speed would be using the brake. I’m guessing that you don’t get where the engine is screaming, as much

JD. Thank for this video. Looking at a F45O to pull a 21000 pound trailer with a listed pin weight of 3910. I am assuming that actual pin weight could be as high as 4200 (25% of trailer weight). Will the combination of the F45O and this trailer be pushing the payload limit?

Great video. How does this beast compare to your 450.

I wonder how the Reg. Cab F450 pickup would do with a bed like a Pronghorn UTD or Knapheide PGND with a transfer tank of fuel and a moderate selection of tools. Would it handle the bed and the pin weight of a 30k load? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey JD, I anticipate purchasing an f450, I prefer over kill as well. Since I'm a newbie to towing though, I wanted to start with a 5er no longer than 35'. What is your opinion of the f450 towing a fairly lighter 5er?

JD, just curious about the turn radius with the wider front axle on a F450. Have you ever done a comparison of the turn radius of the F350 and F450? I would like to step up to a dually for future load carrying capacity if/when I upgrade my fiver. The turning radius of a crew cab dually has been a hang up, but if the F450 turns tighter, that could be a game changer for me. (Especially since I’m a diehard GM fan!)

Plymouth Man after looking up the operating weights of the trackhoe and loader they together are 23-24k plus that trailer is 8-10k depending on length. I’d bet that truck weights 9-9500. So gcwr is closer to 42000. But either way there’s no way they’re pulling 30k maybe 31-32.

I just watched your video testing the Ram 3500 with Mr Truck, as a total, which truck do you like if you were going to upgrade.

What are the final drive gear ratios between the ten speed vs 17 six speed. Have a 17 350 drw with 3:55 gear. Just trying to figure if the 10 speed would be enough for me to make a trade to the 20. The most I will ever tow would be @20000 lbs.

The only issue I have with the new fords, specifically the 350, is the 35,750 towing rating for the dually is that it needs a 4.10 read end with that 1050ft-lbs, vs the duramax which is rated for 35,500 with 910ft-lbs and a 3.42 (both having the same trans gear ratio wise).

@@notafuckinpplperson8233 Truck guys get so wrapped up in rear ends. "Oh this truck doesn't have a towing rear end, it can't tow". It's about ratios and torque multipliers. A 4.10 or 4.30 was needed when your first gear was a 2.90 or 3.10, but now first gears on these 8-10 speeds is in the 4's (the ford/gm trans has a 4.69 first gear) meaning that a new truck with a 3.42 has a much lower first + final gear ratio than old trucks with a 4.30. My point being that the ford needs a 4.10 rear end with a 4.69 first gear to move the weight the chevy does with a 3.42 (which ford can't touch with a 3.55) shows to me that the 6.7 powerstroke is significantly limited in low gears, vs the chevy which isn't.
