    Own the Raptor, have driven the driven the Tremor. The only reason I can think of to get a Tremor is cost AND not wanting to build an offroad capable truck yourself. This being youtube comments, I'm sure someone will chime in with a corner case making the Tremor preferred. :D

    Would I rather have a Raptor or Tremor? How about an XL with the rear locker for $13k less? A good lift kit and tires and you still come out ahead by several thousand dollars.

    ​@@imnotusingmyrealname4566agreed. I grabbed a Wrangler JLU Sport S a couple years ago for under $40k. Even after two lifts (first a cheap puck spacer lift, then a true suspension lift), a regear, 35s, some Willys takeoffs wheels, wheel spacers, Rubicon takeoff rock rails, fox steering stabilizer, shocks, and several other mods I can't think of, I'm in it for less than $10k in mods (spread out over the last 3 years) and well under $50k spent total. The new Rubis are going for like $60k, and I didn't have to finance an incredible amount to do it.

    “Order Simplification”. Translation: “To get the one or two options that you actually want you need to buy a multi-thousand dollar ‘simplified’ package that contains 90% stuff you don’t want but we make you pay for anyway”. These car companies truly honestly believe that people do not see through this bullshit.

    The vast majority of vehicles are ordered by dealers anyways, with certain packages and options that they feel would yield them the most traffic or profitability. All this is doing is moving that decision to the OEM from the dealer (though for that very small number who order their vehicles, it will have a certain effect depending on how those options are packaged in).

    I was hoping for a more in depth comparison of the truck actually working and towing heavy loads up hills and down. Numbers mean nothing on paper. That test they did in Colorado years ago whit the trucks towing identical loads up hill and down hill. To see something more off road like a guy would on jobsite. Highlighting the engine and transmission design would be nice. I know the duramax has grown off the same platform since the 2011 LML. But I know nothing of the 10 speed trans. I don’t know what generation engine the ford is on now, and I could be wrong but I didn’t hear you speak about the ford transmission. Take my comments with a grain of salt. You covered ALOT of great details on both trucks that were very helpful

    I love ford, but there's too much AI in vehicles now a days, which is just an expensive problem for us, the consumer. When things fail out of warranty, it costs more than the vehicle is worth keeping it for. AI promotes laziness on the road and who is at fault when an accident does happen? You? Them? Ford? Also, the cost of these trucks is ridiculous, I'm not buying a house, why does it cost over 100k for a pickup lol ridiculous.

    Hi! I’m thinking of getting a preowned mid or full-sized pickup truck as daily work truck. I have a commute of 40 mile one-way (1.5 hrs) then another 1hr drive home in horrid SoCal traffic. I haul mostly network cabling installation equipment in the bed, and do not tow. What brand, model year, engine and grade do you recommend? I would like to have some of the newer active safety features such as the automatic emergency braking system to avoid front collisions, but not as critical as long-term reliability and durability. Any suggestions for a late model pickup truck with Direct and Port Injection. Also, what immediate and affordable engine and transmission mods for reliability and durability do you recommend to protect the powertrain? I’m not looking for more power, just long-term reliability and durability as I don’t have too much money and need a truck for work and personal use. Thank you!

    We were up fishing in BC a few years ago. I launched my boat at the ramp and headed back to the lodge to stow the trailer. I found a nice grassy area, but I didn’t realize it had a slight slope that ended in a 12-foot drop-off into the neighbor's backyard. I got distracted unhooking the trailer and did not see it moving slowly away from the truck. Well, it didn’t go over the edge, but I came close to breaking a leg trying to stop the accelerating roll. 😮 Lesson learned: There is no need to rush through everything when tired or distracted. I convinced myself that everything needed to be done ASAP to get ready for the next day’s fishing. 🙄 Liked & Subscribed!

    I drove a Ridgeline while shopping for my new truck (old was 2021 Ranger XLT with sport appearance). The in-bed trunk is epic. And I really liked the idea of more SUV-like handling and I don’t honestly need a BoF truck. But I really didn’t feel much of an improved ride in the Honda 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe it’s just me? Maybe is was the tires on the Honda at the dealer being way over-inflated (so many cars I’ve seen at dealers are up to 10psi higher than the sticker recommends) But the thing that stopped me buying the Honda is the pedal-actuated parking brake. I have a bung left knee and using the pedal was super painful. I also didn’t like the raked angle of the infotainment screen. Just catches sun glare too much. I ended up with the new Ranger basically the same as this video (XLT FX4 2.3L, though mine doesn’t have e-locking diff or adaptive cruise 😫). I think Ford did a great job except for a few things: XLTs overseas get keyless entry and start, and they also get adaptive cruise as standard…why don’t we get those features on the XLT in the USA?? And the should’ve made the rear seats 60/40 split! This would’ve been great.
