You're assumption about Fleet vehicles is completely wrong. As someone who works for a company that has a Fleet of vehicles, I can tell you that the vehicles are used and abused heavily. These vehicles are not necessarily taken care of but it depends on the company. Aside from tires and oil changes, most companies with Fleet vehicles that have large warranties on each vehicle don't bother servicing them. And remember one thing people don't treat company vehicles like their own vehicle.

I had never thought about the idle time until I picked up an F-150 Powerstroke fresh out of fleet usage. Probably an oil and gas service / inspection vehicles from what I can tell. Lots of dirt & gravel roads, crew cab barely used, full maintenance records, etc. 44kk on the odo - but 2500 hours on the clock, well over half at idle. I can see why they might ditch the diesel for emissions trouble, but I've also seen fleet data suggesting the 20 & 21 baby Powerstrokes are the most reliable F-150 engine for those model years. We'll see how that pans out long term. I'm not too worried. Us country folk know how to fix diesel emission problems.

According to the NHTSA "The "incomplete vehicle" type was established to deal with situations where the manufacturer did not know what the vehicle's final type would be when it assigned the VIN."

That incomplete vehicle does mean it was sold as a cab & chassis truck.

It was a huge let down to not see what these actually sold for. We got used to that being the final segment of these videos.

The Ram ZF 8 speed is the same basic transmission as in the Hellcat. Very well designed and used all over the world in most mfgs.

The buyers (wholesale customers) pre-order these multiple fleet trucks, so the manufacturer is expecting custom bed, frame, leaf spring load, different cab design, and powertrain based on what the buyer wants. Some of them are "Incomplete" vin is due to customers making changes at the last second before finalizing or they bring it back for another option. But that is to my knowledge for semi trucks specifically. I'm pretty sure it is similar to these "HD" light duty trucks.

Incomplete was a chassis cab. Dealer has almost identical ram 2500 here in town with the chrome appearance brand new for $52k

Interesting video. I went last summer all over Kentucky shopping for a heavy duty truck, inside 5 years old, inside 150k miles, with four wheel drive. I also wanted something that was in good condition and not beaten to death. What I found was that Ram HD trucks are the most expensive. A Cummins with 180k miles was selling for $50k+. GM Duramax trucks that met my criteria were garbage (surprise surprise) with oil leaks, electrical issues, emissions issues, etc. So I ended up with a 2019 F-250 Powerstroke with 81k miles on the clock. XLT, 5th wheel prep pack, no other options. Pretty nice condition. $43k. So far I love it, but I wish I had known that Ford makes the supplemental heater optional because that's a MUST HAVE on a diesel truck for winter.

6.2 F250 only Ford i've owned that was trouble free, to 140k miles, rode like a covered wagon and XL interior was cheap and things broke but the engine was flawless

F250 FX4 always. My dad pulled a HUGE 5th wheel for over 20 years on his F250 and it never let the old man down.

Gotta be careful with ex fleet trucks that are really dirty like these ones. The boxed frames are usually full of mud and causes them to rot out very quickly.

I bought a used 2019 Ram 2500 with the Cummins. It is a great truck the only issues I found was the idle hours were high and I knew the dpf was going to be clogged. That has been took care of and it is my daily driver.

Y’all should check the PTO (if any has it), running that could add a lot of fast idle time.

You can install a device or tune to disable the cylinder deactivation. And I would absolutely do that after making sure the engine hasn’t already sustained damage.

11:18 the incomplete vehicle label may mean it was built as a chassis-cab but in the post-co vid world it could also mean a vehicle that was completed after it left the assembly line and they all were not done correctly.

Might have been a pickup delete truck with a service body or flatbed. And they added a pickup bed back to it when they were done. Did the Ram have the OEM hitch? I believe it has to be removed when a service/utility body is installed.

Two years ago I bought a 2016 Ram 3500, Long horn Laramie 6.7 HO with Aisin transmission, 180 thousand kms, 3500 total hours, 350 idle hours. I paid 45000 CAD. Today they sell for about the same money. A new one would be around 100-120 thousand CAD. I am happy with my purchase. 👍

The RAM truck had '3' as the first number on its VIN so that means it was made in Mexico. The first few digits tells WHERE the truck was made/assembled. 1, 4 and 5 is USA; 2 is Canada; 3 is Mexico; 6 is Australia; 7 is New Zealand; 8 and 9 are South America and the letter 'J' is for Japan -- There are 30+ more alphanumeric designations for other individual countries/continents such as Europe and Southeast Asia so I will just outline the major ones here.

How do you know there is no check engine lights? Did they turn it off and it is pending? Maybe you should check it with a computer. I take mine with me when buying a vehicle. Had 2 vehicles where the CEL was turned off on the sale lot. I walked away

1:21 Andre, that’s not a push bar. Yes, it can be used as one but that is not its name. A push bar doesn’t have the protection over the lights. Like on a police car. They also generally don’t come up to the top of the hood. Their primary function is to protect the bumper if you have to push something with your vehicle, hence the name, Push Bar. You can get a push bar for a truck but they look different from this. This truck has a Brush or Grill guard. These are designed and built to protect the grill of the vehicle from loose brush. They protect against smaller things that could flip up and break the headlights or the grill causing something to get in and damage the radiator. While you can push something with them, that’s a side benefit and not what they are actually designed and built for. It’s like calling the pintle hitch that you point out at 2:55 a bumper pull hitch. They both go in the receiver below the rear bumper. But they are not actually the same, are they?

That Ram was definitely a chassis cab before. You can tell because of the stickers, but also you’ll notice the rear taillights are from a previous generation Ram Heavy Duty. So whoever bought the truck bought a chassis cab, and must’ve bought the 8ft bed from an older truck.

40k for a USED and abused base model fleet vehicle with no features and 100k of hard miles is just insane and a rip off somehow even worse than the dealer markups.

Federal employees can’t get away with abusing taxpayer paid vehicles, or they’ll get fired, and working for the government in this kind of field is great and has AWESOME benefits. So people want to keep their job and treat the vehicles nicely.

The Ram was less abused because it probably was a County or City owned vehicle. The Ford and the Chevy were Farm rigs I bet.

My experience is that Fords seat cushions break down quickly. Once the foam begins to sag the seat materials begin to age more quickly. Go to any construction site where you can find new to older pickups and you will find the RAM seat cushions are a lot better than anyone else’s. Then in second is GM and then dead last is Ford.

If you are buying a fleet vehicle be sure to check the idle hours....

Great video

Never buy fleet vehicle's, i first-hand have used them in the past without care for warming them up and running them into the ground. Used trucks should be found pre def, having only an egr and no diesel gate scandale is the best way to go for the average joe. And the money you save, invest in the suspension and ride better and get better fuel economy than the new guys

You didn’t lock the hubs in on the Ford

The LOCK function on the hubs is if the vacuum system fails. Manually locking the hubs does not test the ESOF System. ​@@AK_Ray

@@Itsa_Mea kinda, it's not originally designed for a vacuum failure. When in auto the vacuum pulses so it locks four-wheel drive in and out in and out in and out in and out. Basically it's for four-wheel drive on pavement and you still have good steering. When you lock it in at the hub, it stays locked in permanently if you're really up to your neck in the goop.

@@AK_Ray wrong. A properly working ESOF system does NOT kick in and out ever, until you switch it back to 2wd when in use. The LOCK feature on the hub is when the ESOF fails.

They never looked to see how many Hours are on the trucks, that could be a huge factor in vehicles value

Not affordable at all

7.3 Godzilla

There is such a thing as towing heavy stuff every day and then there is "Ah, what the hell, it ain't our truck....Just hook that thing/over loaded trailer up and let's get to work." everyday kind of towing.

That 6.2 was the most reliable engine ford ever made for work applications. A little under powered but it'll go for 300k miles plus.

Definitely look like the trucks used in the oil industry

Bought a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 ex-fleet, bi-fuel. Gasoline or propane from the local university.

Same test with 1500 please

When did the term “gasser” become a thing? No one ever used that term back in the day.

Idk when referring to trucks as "gassers" became a thing, this is the only channel I've seen refer to them as that. But "gasser" as a term for race cars with large gasoline engines has been around forever.

Goggle “gasser”. Cool stuff, but nothing to do with trucks or gas vs diesel.

For 20+ years 3/4 and 1 ton pickups have been assumed to de diesel. I hear "gasser" used regularly when someone is talking about HD pickups.

12 valve cummins with Zero thumb control no nosense crap on it!

Lol is it Goodzilla or Godzilla your in the US. I would take the ford all day because I have a 04 f150 with almost 400000 miles and it has been great and held up my interior is like new and it was a work truck. If you take care of them they last. And also 4.6 is still original and dont leak a drop and never has.
