I know they weasle free parts and labour on allot of stuff form manufactures for sponsorship but it would be nice to know what it would cost US to do something similar. I do know one thing though. If I was a manufacturer and gave them free parts I sure as hell would make them plaster my logo all over their project.

Companies get upset at reviewers for being honest about their product and uninvite them from marketing events. But just because the particular gun (or truck) in question has some issues, that doesn't necessarily reflect the companies' other products.

Dear TFL, I have been watching you guys from the earliest days of testing on the “Ike Gauntlet” and have always enjoyed your “real world” reviews and opinions. I was thrilled when you starting being invited to the previews and reveals as it gave me access to those products through the opinions of people that I trusted. It has been fun watching Tommy grow into his role and I enjoy his perspective. Andre is still my favorite and I appreciate his attention to detail. I now watch your reviews on everything from motorcycles and campers, to trucks and atv’s. My immediate plan was to purchase a Ford F-250 with a Lariat or Platinum trim (inventory issues due to COVID slowed me down) however, literally due to Ford’s recent actions toward TFL, I will be purchasing a Ram 2500 Limited and adding Carli suspension components. Keep up the good fight fellas, we all appreciate your hard work and great reviews out here on the Western Slope!

My coworker loved his Ram 2500 with the Cummins until the interior started rattling, creaking and popping. He has taken it back to the dealer three times, that I know of, to address the interior noises to no avail. His truck is barely a year old and he's already considering trading up to an F250. He absolutely loves the Cummins and interior design but is so disappointed with Ram's service after sale and interior quality issues. I rented a Ram 1500 a few months ago and the interior was just beautiful but after just a few miles down the road that beautiful interior started creaking, squeaking and popping. It was so frustrating! Just wanted to pass this along. Good luck with whatever you decide to purchase. Hopefully these two incidents were isolated.

I ordered a very similar F250 last month to replace my '04 F350. TFL' s videos definitely influenced my decision to stay with Ford.

I DEFINITELY CHOSE MY F-350 BASED ON TFL VIDEOS!! Last year I bought a 40’fifth wheel and debated what truck I needed to tow 16,000# of truck. I almost bought the Ram. But watching the Ike Gauntlet videos helped me decide that I needed the 350 DRW. I bought the Lariat package. I will say that the comments about the interior trim are spot on. Functional but not great quality. Ford can do better and based on what Ram has done they need to just to keep up. I love my 350 overall. Really disappointed to hear Ford has stopped allowing TFL to participate in their media events. Dumb!!

@@15Jeep Mike sorry I didn't see this earlier. Three things, first I have previously had King Ranch and most recently Limited Trims in F-150s. The Lariat Ultimate Package is adequate in terms of bells and whistles but there is a lot more plastic/synthetic material in this trim level than in previous versions I owned - that is not Ford's fault, Secondly I have had two recalls in first six months and one FSA so I am likely a bit jaded about Ford quality overall more than the interior. Third there were a few little things like the windshield interior gasket at the base of the windshield that was not seated right on either passenger or driver sides - sticks out a few inches. A couple of long threads on the floor mats.AC Louvres that are hard to adjust properly so that it hits my face. Small stuff. In fairness to ford the interior quality is "good". I bought down and had to deal with some recalls and it colored my opinion.

The reason I bought my 2017 Ford SuperDuty was because I watched TFL videos of the new designed truck. The video of the first offroad event sealed the deal for me. Ford should be paying you for the attention you brought to their vehicles, not banning you from events.

When I was in the market for a HD truck 2 years ago, YOUR review of them was the deciding factor to go with a Ford Superduty.....if this is how they decide to treat reviewers that report on information that is freely available on the internet my next purchase will definitely be with a company that values the free market, freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Not to mention a you give them a TON of free press and marketing. Hey FORD PR team...maybe the supervisor that made this decision should be voted off the island, it's the digital age, information spreads very very quickly, sometimes you have to embrace it and roll with it instead of being hostile towards individuals that are passionate about your product and give you a TON of free PR.

I got my 15 F-150 because I thought it was the best vehicle ever made and Nathan and Roman’s reviews told me I made a great choice

I purchased a Ranger FX4 with the help of your review. I love it. I have been watching your show for over 4 years now. I was waiting for the Bronco but got so sick of waiting and the delays too.

Ford should be happy you guys do reviews on many of their vehicles especially their main sellers which is the F-Series. You gave me an honest review which allowed me to make my choice simple in buying a Ford. A whole year has passed and I do not regret my buy because of the information you guys provided.

Looking at upgrading to a heavy duty. Always been a GM guy but you guys swayed me to put @Ford at the top of the list. Now with the crap they just pulled, I will never consider them. I know this is just one person and Ford won’t care but I hope more people follow. You guys help us all the time and make great content. Please keep it up

i own an automatic 1988 F-250 7.3 idi diesel that gets about the same mpg... only difference is mine has about 75% less horsepower. love the honest reviews guys, thanks.

Just bought my 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat FX4 package on June 15th, after viewing multiple TFL:s Ranger vs. Tacoma KZread videos. I was leaning towards the Tacoma but bought the Ranger instead due to lots of positive reviews and comments from these TFL videos. Great job guys!

I got my 2019 Ranger in part due to your reviews. Shame on Ford leadership.

It’s kind of ironic that Ford cut you off. Your reviews helped me buy my first Ford ever! I’m 58. Ford, if you’re listening, invite these guys back. They do us all a valuable service. By the way, I don’t like the satellite antenna location either! I have a Lance bed camper and need the music to tame the savage beast, inside that is! Thanks guys! Great channel. Keep it up!

I bought my 2017 fully loaded Power Wagon sight unseen without even a test drive. I placed my order and picked up the truck based larger on your reviews. For 2020/2021 I am again watching your reviews to add to my fleet. The new Ford heavy duty with the 7.3L gasser is tops on my list. Let this be known to Ford and all the other manufacturers channels like this are the motor week, auto line detroit, consumers digest, and enthusiasts magazines of today! I won’t buy another truck without TFL!

I definitely was influenced by TFL, I watched every video on the 2019 F150 and later on the Ranger which I went on to buy both. The best non-bias reviews on the net. I use your fueling method everytime I fuel up for what ever rental or personal vehicle i am driving at the time.. Ford should reconsider because you get their product out there for all the consumers out there that want the truth and no outside influence for what the consumer is looking for in any particular model or make of truck or vehicle.. Not to mention what Mr. Truck does as well. Keep up the reviews.

I purchased my Ford Ranger exclusively from watching your video on when you received it at LAX and drove back. Great video that sold me on the truck!!

I buy my trucks after I watch what you guys think of them. Your reviews are spot on. No bull shit. Straight forward, all equally tested. I was leaning towards a Super Duty F250. It's off my list now. Thanks guys for helping me choose my my truck. Towing a camper and using my truck for long trips fits your test spot on. Keep up the great testing. Great job. Thank you

So I think everything has already been said in the comments already (mostly). Ford...from a Ford owner (many times over), TFL is not just here as entertainment, although it is entertaining of course...but provide us all with very important feedback, in such detail we could not possibly discover ourselves without hours of research and time spent at the dealerships. They provide an invaluable service to truck consumers. Now, as a Ford guy, I am of course familiar and knowledgeable about the vehicles as I drive them almost daily and for years now (bought my 1st 1987 F-350 used in 1994, owned for one year and have bought all brand new from then on to present...for full disclosure couple Dodge/Cummins trucks in there as well). As new models and features are offered, TFL is where I go to learn about them as the reviews are honest, straight forward and thoroughly tested, that saves time and help making informed decisions when purchasing a new vehicle and whether or not I need that particular model or option. This is a bit upsetting to me as I look forward to my TFL reviews and tests...are you going to continue punishing them so I can't enjoy Andre going up the mountain as well? No, I'm not running out to purchase another brand, I love my Ford's but this needs to be worked out. So Ford AND Roman, please sit down like big boys and work this out (quickly), or we will all be stuck listening to JD's reviews 😜

I don't make any truck related purchase(s) withing looking for a relevant TFL video. Period. Your content is top notch and some of the most educational material out there. Keep it up guys!

Here's what I don't like about my 2020 Tremor... The fit and finish, from a distance the truck looks amazing but when you get close there are multiple flaws. Here is most of them that I could find 1. Weird gaps on front bumper trim 2. Some sort of rubber gasket hanging from drivers side door handles 3. Rubber trim around inside of windshield not installed properly 4. There appears to be a blue film on the silver center console trim going into the dash (other SD owners have it too) 5. Front passenger fender flare has a large gap from actual fender When Im paying $80k+ for a pickup truck the quality should be much better. You can't say "iTs A nEw TrUcK, tHeY aRe StIlL lEaRnInG hOw To BuIlD iT." Because the only new part here is the front bumper trim.

So yes, your reviews I watch all the time. I religiously only get these reviews from TFL. You all are Very Good at what you do, it's also a lot of vicarious fun because I literally cannot test drive, and dig into the list of options myself. I come here for that. Ford should lift the Ban. I watched the Bronco reveal TFL did, I understand why Ford got angry with that, but TFL is the #1 top tier preview/review for new, used, and practical application of vehicles. Ford and TFL need to work it out! Have a coke n smile together and get your butts back in there and give us what we love. No more leaking too much you guys!!! And Ford, get over it we want to see your offerings we love it.

Last year I traded in my 2016 RAM 1500 for a new one. I watched your videos to get a good idea of the competition and decided to stay brand loyal. I watch your videos regularly to learn more. I especially like your tests of diesel trucks. I want my next one to be a diesel, and based on your tests I might go for a GM next time. It will be two more years, but it is a big investment. You guys do better tests and reviews than anyone else. And I really liked your real-world rest of the Tesla Model X. I learned a lot from that. Thanks, guys for keeping it real!

So, Ford Subaru'ed you.

Both companies are great TFL and Ford. Just bc the market team doesn’t support tfl doesn’t mean you should drop the king of automobiles. I got a 99 F250 with 630k miles great trucks.

I like your content and this channel seems to be the most objective out off all channels on this platform. The real world testing is what really enjoy watching, whether you do an Ike gauntlet test or go on some off-road trails. You guys definitely put the rigs through it's paces. If I was ever in the market for a HD truck, either Ford or Ram is what I'd be looking to purchase. Keep up producing great videos 👍

I purchased my 2017 F-150 based off of your reviews to include the Ike Gauntlet challenge. Truly unfortunate decision on Fords behalf.

TFL for many years is my destination for truck reviews.

I've actually seen the new bronco on the road without any of the spy camo on it. They look pretty cool actually.

I must say, TFL is the only automotive journal I watch and absolutely appreciate the information from you in my car buying. I don't appreciate them pulling a channel(s) of your size at all but to be honest don't even look at ford anyway but that's just me.

FYI - you can get 5/16” and 3/8” trailer hooks to latch closed if you install them from the bottom and then rock them all the way back (or forward toward the front of the truck)

You guys are great. Keep the videos coming.

For the industry I work in, if any information or pictures is leaked of our products that we build, the fault is put on me and my team, not the customer who is excited to see what we're developing. This is Ford's problem not TFL. The only source I get my new car and truck information from is TFL across all their channels. Also I am a customer who is seriously considering trading in my Jeep Rubicon for a Bronco depending on what it looks like and it's features. These small updates and leaks are fun and interesting. They keep me excited about the upcoming Bronco.

I completely agree. This was nobody but fords fault. You can’t expect everyone to never leak something they find. Ford was extremely petty for getting mad at them. It’s not like ford lost any business because of TFL.

Your reviews ultimately led to my decision to buy the F-150 ecoboost. Sad to hear that Ford is acting in such a manner based on photos and information that was obviously available to the public. Right or wrong the reaction sounds harsh to me. BTW I do love the F-150's towing, power, and interior cab design over both Chevy and Dodge.

Omg never buying a new truck. I could see this thing getting hacked. Thanks for reminding me.

I have been anxiously awaiting the release of the new bronco. You have fueled my enthusiasm for its release. Ford has in the past had a very crummy reputation. They are going back to hating their customers and fans. Again they will see it as a privilege to buy or even TALK about their vehicles. I don't even care about the bronco now. I tried to call them about you guys. It was an impossible maze of call centers.

Even years later your reviews help me decide on products. Keep up the good work!

as always TFL takes the high road. Great Review!!

I must say I have the Platinum Tremor pack, and its going to be supercharged in a few weeks procharged. Ford just are loosing honest persons and feedback.

Well, we drive a Chevy. We used to drive F. O. R. D. Knowledgable people understand this acronym. Best wishes to TFL Studios!

I’m all the way from Saudi Arabia and you guys helped me with your honest reviews to make my decision to buy my Ford F350. It’s because of guys other wise I won’t be convinced to buy it. I hope Ford realize what help you are doing for the consumer and re-invite you back to the upcoming events.

Thank you for all the years I’ve been watching this channel I send my customers to this channel when they have questions about their vehicle I tell them to watch a certain video that you have posted regarding this so absolutely I suggest vehicles to my customers based upon your findings I am a camper salesman and South Dakota now should we be upset at Ford for blocking you I don’t know it is your job to be a reporter so reporters report things Ford Must understand this it’s not your fault to report news now if you have an agreement that you won’t post something that should be discussed also if there’s something really important that should be looked at before releasing I’m not sure you should always post everything you know even though I want to see it

I'm sorry but to Caesar what is Caesar's. Roman n Tommy should apologize to Ford. This was their mistake and we TFLCar & TFLTruck viewers want to see the New Bronco n the new F150.

It’s their mistake someone sent them photos of it? What a sh!t take, if ford didn’t want their vehicles to get found maybe they should, I don’t know, not drive around the country with camo Broncos for testing? Did anybody see the cyber truck before it got released? No but Tesla’s actually smart about how they launch products...

I agree with everything you said. I recently did get a f150 to replace my ram because of you guys. I’m learning to accept the flaws in the truck but you guys did promote my purchase. I’ll be going back to ram after I put some miles on my king ranch. The interior quality doesn’t even come close to what I’m used to.

One thing to consider is the people that won't purchase a vehicle like the Defender or Wrangler or 4runner while they are waiting for the Bronco to come out. You showed some some awesome features in your sneak peak that may have people putting off their next car until the Bronco arrives.

Good review. Ford Super Duty is a great truck but I think currently RAM is ahead on a few levels.

@@15Jeep Cummins engine platform has been developed and tested with time. Ford hasn't built a good diesel since 7.3 (international). Appears like RAM has less issues with the fuel system. RAM's turbos serve longer. RAM's interior design, quality, attention to details and execution is unmatched. This is from experience, as I have owned Ford's 7.3, 6.0 and now Cummins, I wouldn't go back, at least not now.

Thanks to you guys I got my F150 2.7 eb in 2017 same model year.

One of the reasons I bought my new '19 Ford Ranger Lariat FX4 last Nov was because of your testing,period! What you find in all of your tests,carries a LOT of weight when it comes to culling out what one does not want in a truck,as much as what one finds that he or she wants in a truck. No games,just good honest results. All for us,along with a made Russian,and a totally demented and sick unit of the Nathan ;}> "spoon with Roman" ???? I'm still LMMFAO !!! thanks...

Ford needs to send you guys to see the Bronco!

Good review guys

Good reviews guys. I’ve got a 7.3 XLT on order now, so your comments are very timely. In reference to your dislikes - some are legitimate and others questionable. I agree with the hitch, LED Standard lights, satellite antenna placement, and cheapening of the XLT trim. Questionable is the exhaust Decibels, tires, and fuel economy after mods. Keep up the great reviews.

Keep doing what you are doing. Ford messed up by not having better controls over their employees that have access to their prototypes, so they threw a tantrum and punished TFL. Keep up the good, honest journalism. Don’t let anyone bully you into what content to report!

This makes me feel good about the F350 Lariat I'm ordering, the negative aren't that bad.

Dear @Ford. I spent nearly $78K after discounts to purchase my 2020 F350 Platinum. TFL’s reviews helped me make that decision. I did so in spite of owning not one but two of the rolling disaster PowerShift Focuses - again based in part in the positive reviews of SD drivetrains on TFL. My father has asked me for help selecting his new truck. I *WILL* consider how this plays out when I give him advice. Do the right thing so I can fully endorse #Ford. #ThanksTFL

I look forward to your video’s every day. It’s a joy to watch guys give honest opinions (the good, bad and ugly) on all types of vehicles especially trucks. As someone already said , shame on FORD.

It says check the air filter and replace if necessary. DEF at Walmart is $7.88 for 2.5 gallons. Even Blue DEF at Advance Auto is $13 for 2.5 gallons. Do you even really own a diesel?

It’s been leak city at Ford for a good 18 months. I guess they can’t figure out whose doing it so they’re hoping “buyers” of the leaks get scared away and the market for them stops

I work part time at a ford dealership. My girlfriend used my D-plan discount to buy her new 2018 Focus. I also own a 2019 F150 lariat that i custom ordered and bought with my D-plan. I partially based my order off the information i gained from this channel. Ford ruined the Bronco release by pushing it off, pushing it off and then again pushing it off. They set goals way to high for this Bronco. we expected to see Broncos on the road by now. I remember when the 2020 explorer was released and the first one showed up at my dealership, the floor was soaked, and the glove box was full of water. Poor quality control and fit/finish. Hopefully this delayed Bronco doesn't have the same kinks to work out.

This channel is the only reason I would buy a 7.3 Godzilla. I recently entered the electrician trade, and this is the truck I would buy for my business.
