I am an owner of the F150 on my 3rd one the last one I had for 20 years and miss it. The F150 even though it can now tow heavier weights it should not be used to do so. I have an F250 6.2 and it out tows my F150 3.5 Ecoboost all day long and is more stable at higher towing speeds. The F150 is just to light to tow in heavy winds and on winding roads and in the mountains. same boat on the F150 and the F250 and I regret getting the F150 even though it can tow 9600 LBS and the F250 can tow 11500 LBS would have gotten the Diesel instead of the gas engine. Just my 2 cents

Great truck! I love this guy. Looks up the prices of add ons and does it himself. Awesome.

Bright man. I'm glad to see someone who actually put some thought into his purchase and didn't just flip from a 3 year old model and go under in value on debt. Sounds like he drove that older 99 f250 into the dirt, got every penny out of it, probably maintained it himself and then even when buying new again only paid what he had to for the specific needs he had. Great work! I bought my 2015 f150 brand new as an XLT model and now have it full paid off, but i'm not going to flip it. I'm now going to focus on maintenance and keeping it alive as long as possible while doing some personalizing mods along the way.

I agree with him, no need for leather, I've had that b4, and its cold in winter and hella hot in summer.

I love this video, finally a real truck that gets naught and built exactly for what it’s used for, nothing against the higher trim models but they are getting outrageously expensive!!!

Hey I drove them all too and I bought a Ram 2500 Diesel. I guess I kinda understand what he means by turbo lag but the Cummins is a totally different animal. It doesn't act like the other two. And I didnt buy a diesel to race it. I bought it to tow. And it tows like a freight train baby! And I got 3.73 gears standard. Very happy about that. Im sure he would have liked the 3.73's since he went 3.55's and his only other option was 3.31's. And Im a Ford guy! I was orginally only considering a new F250 until I drove the Ram. Then I was like ok maybe Ill consider another manufacturer. And hey all the little things he complained about not having like the leather stearing wheel and dampened tailgate... all come standard on the Ram Big Horn addition. And no issues with hooking up safety chains. Ram did it right. Rams big horn is their level 2 package just like Fords XLT. O and no matter how much you outfit a truck level 2 package it doesn't come close to a Laramie or Fords Lariat. You jump a fence between a level 2/3 package. I would make the argument that you could outfit a level 3 package (Laramie/Lariat) close to a level 4/5 and you could outfit a level 1 (XL/Tradesman) to be closer too a level 2.

@OGL iaDL No you don't. The 2500 gets only the 68RFE and the lower rated 6.7, while the 3500 gets either the same 68RFE + 6.7 or the full output 6.7 hooked up to the Aisin for some extra cash. It's been that way since forever. You don't get the Aisin with the 2500 suspension. And the 68RFE is just fine if you don't drive like a maniac. It's not there for you to tow, not hoon; that kind of behaviour will wreck a AS69RC before long, no difference. It just won't last forever like the Aisin, but when the time comes eventually to replace the 68RFE, it's got one major advantage over the AS69RC in that you can opt for a built 68RFE instead, which will walk all over any Aisin you can get your hands on.

I don't know much about trucks but as a 20 year old electrician I kinda have an idea about all those little bells and trinkets. The automatic windows and heated seats, and the cameras are all great things to have but common sense tells me that some of that stuff will go bad in 5-7 years. The backup camera is nice only for hooking up a trailer(I turn my head when I back up.) I assume trucks don't resell very well when a camera is out and one window no longer extends/retracts.

in my experience, RAM isn't the best chassis, but with some mods, IT IS. There is NOTHING easy about working on a PowerStroke. Cummins however, is. And Cummins is ALWAYS making improvements to maintenance items to make them better. Ford def. does RIDE BETTER hands down. Ford should have let Cummins put their name on the valve covers back in the 80's and Ford would OWN the truck industry, and everyone else would be selling compact cars instead!!

The ram had lag?? I’ve always felt like the Cummins straight 6 always had a quicker big hit of torque than the V8 diesels. I’ve spent a lot of time in a Duramax hauling cattle. The V8 really shines when climbing a grade at 80mph and maintaining speed. The 6 felt like it had more getting up and going power but won’t run a load of cows 80mph up a hill. I like them both! But V8 feels more laggy to me when getting started but has better high speed power

White is a color, it is all the colors combined. It is technically the least racist of colors.

I had a v10 with 4.33 gears and it was great and really was impressive, I still kind of miss her just wished she got better mpgs, but I wanted diesel so I got rid of it and got a 7.3.

Great review. I didn't order mine, but it seems to be a much better way to go. Made that XLT very nice!

Love my 18 Lariat really like the seating position tested a denali but felt like I was sitting in a bucket looking into the back side of the hood I like looking over the hood.

Honestly this guy's opinion doesn't mean much to me after saying he didn't like the 7.3 cause it was too loud. I'm not even a Ford guy and even I know the 7.3 is one of the best diesels to be put in a pickup truck.

You think that isn't a valid point he is making about it being too loud? For long trips a quieter ride is nice especially if you don't need the 7.3 that just ends up costing more.

Nowadays all 3 make good trucks it’s a matter of preference. But a true diesel is a inline 6 period. he’s referring to the lag it’s because the Cummins on the ram it’s a pulling truck not fast on the get go but boy when your towing with a 5500 dump truck and pulling 20k that inline beats the V8.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

This guy reminds me of my dad a bit. He just bought a new 3.5EB F-150, also XLT, also has some minor touches customized for him. I've been driving it all over the place in the snow recently, fun truck. Was worried that the 10spd would constantly be searching for the next gear, and there is a little of that, but it's not too bad. Regarding this guy's truck, I'm so infatuated with the Tremors right now that any other Super Duty seems a little pedestrian!

Prudent in spending is one of the definitions of the word frugal, so that seems to match what the owner claimed to a T.

haha shackles on the tow hook mounts just like mine. None of my trailer hooks will snap on to the hitch, ugh! What was Ford thinking??

A sweet man with his awesome Superduty pickup truck. The interview went great❤.

I LOVE the rear truck release he installed. Pretty cool.

I had the death wobble at 36k miles on my F250. The cheapo fix for the wobble is a new steering dampener. There is a technical service bulletin out from Ford that lists the parts needed to actually fix it though. I had to buy big D rings for my towing setup too. Ford screwed that up

One easy way I learned from owning about 20 different Fords with the death wobble, if you align the truck, go about half inch toe out in the front it completely solve the problem.

Just a beautiful truck. Works so well. So much tourque

Fun video to watch and hear from someone who owns and uses the truck like the rest of us. Seems like he should be getting better gas milage while towing. I have 14' 2500 Cummins - towing 34' 8500+ lbs bumper pull trailer. Hauling up I-70, 285 and over to Grand Lake I get 12mpg. I wonder why his 19 is not getting slightly better MPGs? Interesting - thanks for the video. Once the 19 is used a bit - think his MPG will go up a little?

Classic old man truck review. Should make a disclaimer about allowing the purchase price to be a part of the review, people really like to know what real world prices are. It is one of the most important parts of buying a vehicle, cost.

@anthonyc1883

I agree. Perhaps TFL would consider establishing price disclosure as a ground rule before even making the video. But then again, even though the owner balked at stating the price he paid, many other aspects of the interview were worthwhile, so perhaps that's how TFL weighs it all out when they produce a video.

I’d love to know how these 6.7 diesels hold up over the long term. I’ve heard diesel repairs are very pricey. The 7.3 is $10k cheaper and I would guess more reliable, while not having nearly the grunt.

@BL Dontmatter I disagree. I've owned nearly 50 vehicles, and you can often determine build quality within 2 years. Definitely within 10. My 6-year-old AMG G63 already has issues that no 6-year-old Toyota would have, for example.

Don’t buy the new 2020 gmc diesel if you snow Plow. I bought a 3500 denali with snow Plow prep. The first time plowing I get a check engine light apparently the slow Plow blocks so air flow sensor and turns on the light which puts it in a limp mode which enables possibly the lower but also the remote starter. So now I have a diesel in winter I can’t remote start. Also I had to take off the tailgate to put in a salter. GM doesn’t have any plugs like the used to to block off the power tailgate wires and the back up camera wires. So I had to tape them so they don’t corrode with the salt here. The big kicker is because I unplugged these which is common on a Plow truck the entire camera system now doesn’t work. These are 2 things I bought the Denali for. Gm can’t and won’t fix either issue and I have a fleet of trucks from Gm. Looks like I’ll have to go to ford.

Have you considered picking up a spare backup camera and leaving it connected so the camera system functions? I have replaced the one in my Ram and you can find them for as low as $20 if you look. The system sees a fault and it notifies you by disabling the entire system. If you have a "load" there it should work again.

I can easily afford to as we have lots of big contracts so money isn’t an issue and besides they get oil sprayed and traded back in for top dollar every 4 years. It has snow Plow prep on it so it’s for plowing. Get your game up and you can have one too don’t hate on me because I can. That is such a loser thing for you to say Lmao. I guess we all can’t be Alpha males.

I also live in Colorado. That's why I really like these videos. I need a three quarter ton truck. Gas or diesel? I've towed with the both. I thought the gas did ok. My trailer is almost a 1000 lbs heavier. I really don't want to pay $10000 for a daily commute truck and tow only in the summer. I do love the diesel power.

If I am recalling correctly both the Cummins and Duramax trucks come with the auxiliary heater as standard, on every trim. Ford it is something you have to option.

I have experience with both Ford diesel and RAM diesel. I tow horses a few times a year 2k miles round trip. The ram gives 11.6 mpg/ford 8.2 towing and 26/22 respectively empty. Ram serviceability and repairs are way easier. You get way better interior on the ram for less money too.

Would love to tell you the pros and cons of my 19 3500 ho limited. I do tow daily skid steer, 5th wheel, flatbeds, and smaller trailers. Also why dogs and door lock switches can leave you stranded!! I live only 10 min from boulder so a lot of mountain towing and flat land experiences. Let me know!

Wait til that 6.7 drops a glow plug. He won't be smiling with a 17000 dollar engine replacement

I'd love to have that '99 with the 6.8 V10 and 4.30 rear end.

Similar to me; went from a '99 V-10 with 4.30 gears and 5-speed manual to a '16 6.7 Power Stroke. Still have and still love my '99, but the Power Stroke makes me giggle when I'm loaded down with camper and 3-place enclosed snowmobile trailer; I can run up the pass at whatever speed I'm comfortable with and the truck rarely drops out of 6th. (But if I was buying in '20, I'd look real hard at the Godzilla; with the hp/tq numbers and 10-speed trans, it would likely suffice and the cost of entry/ownership would be easier on my wallet.)

I think you Roman and Nathan should do a show on your own personal vehicles. All 3 of you bring your vehicle and do a full in depth tour

I'm seeing a lot of "how much did he pay for it." "Must have paid sticker" speculation. I'm not sure many people understand how a dealer buys a vehicle. The vehicles on the dealer lot are not owned by the dealer. In the case of the dealer I bought from - they had about $30M in vehicles in stock. Dealers can't afford that kind of money, so the vehicles are owned by a floor plan (finance) company. The longer the unit sits on the lot, the more the dealer has to sell the vehicle for to offset the floor plan charges. If you order a truck, the floor plan charge is essentially $0 as it is a pre-sold vehicle. I own a 2019 F350, dually, crew cab. The sticker on the vehicle was right at $86K. I paid $75.3K including tax (about $1200), title, and license fees. My buying price was $200 over the dealer invoice price. However, that is NOT what they paid for the vehicle as the dealer gets "holdback" - about 3% of the MSRP from the manufacturer, and then what ever additional incentives and dealer discounts, volume pricing, etc. are available from the manufacturer. At a minimum the dealer made: $2580 (hold back) + $200 + ???? (other incentives) for spending about 2 hours with me when I ordered the truck and covering their overhead costs. When you deduct overhead and other sales costs, the dealer probably netted about $1500 profit on a $74.1K sale or 2% (plus additional monies from manufacturer to dealer incentives). Dealers make more from the service department and on used vehicles than on a new vehicle.
