If I had a barn, I'd buy a dozen pre 2016s. For a young man with some skills and friends, you can pick up a relatively low mileage truck, but with bad paint or something else an off-roader wouldn't mind, for $3K. Just be absolutely sure about the engine and trans and bomb the thing out; suspension, brakes, wheels, lights 1000W amp

I know, it is a great truck with great reliability.

Thank you for the input. And I do agree if I was in the mountains it may be a little different story. I mostly Tow around Florida into Georgia and we’ve gone to the Carolinas a couple of times. I don’t see anywhere we have been being a problem with the Titan, but we will find out the next time we make the trip up there.

Very quiet. Time will tell if they get louder or not but for right now they are very quiet which was a huge improvement over the factory Generals that were on it.

I don’t think it will dissolve real chrome like on metal bumpers, but the cheap chrome plating in the taillights, or headlights it worked like a charm.

They are 10 ply. Believe that was the only option available.

Yeah, it really does seem to be a great truck so far and it is sad to see it go. I know they don’t sell the numbers that the big brands do, but I feel it is a superior truck to many of the competitors.

Thank you. This really was an easy install that most people can tackle with some basic tools.

I didn’t want to go back down to the 1/2 ton level either thats where the XD came in. I am real happy with it. You won’t be disappointed with the Anderson Hitch, it is completely different.

@@bubbaschannel0310 I've always liked the XDs, I drove a 5.0 xd but didn't like the power delivery. I didn't get a chance to drive the gas version though

@@farmingforfun9534 that is what I was finding in the research I did before purchasing to the point that I did not want the 5.0 option. I was kind of over my 6.7L in the Ford and ready for a gas truck anyway.

You are welcome, and you won’t be disappointed!

Definitely plan to do more videos. We have a trip to Ft. Desoto planed in just a couple weeks and plan to make a video or two of that trip. If you haven’t already please consider subscribing to the channel as that is what RUclips looks at for a potential partnership in the future. I appreciate the support.

The Anderson Hitch setup has the best sway control I have experienced after using both a Reese, and Equalizer weight distribution hitches. Trailer doesn’t move around at all.

The XD (and most modern trucks) have active sway control as part of the traction control. It can apply dynamic braking to individual wheels if it senses sway to regain control. My WD hitch has integrated friction sway control and I’ve never had much of an issue with my 33’ TT. No need to go overboard.

I have just been using 87 since I purchased it for all driving. Last trip managed 8.9 mpg on the way, and 8.4 mpg on the way home. Mostly back roads for the whole ride home.

I do agree that a larger tank would be much nicer. On my F-350 I installed a 50 Gallon Titan brand replacement tank which was very nice to have on the longer trips. I have been looking at the in bed fuel tank options for the Titan XD but have not decided on anything yet.

On my particular truck is it 2100 lbs. That will vary from truck to truck depending on configuration and options.

@@bubbaschannel0310 I have an f150 crew 4x4 with the heavy duty payload package (thicker frame, 9.75 HD rear axle, and bigger front and rear springs) with 2477 payload. I was wondering how it compared.

@@byronlocklear91 I have had four previous F150’s and not really had any towing complaints, but I also did not tow this heavy with them either. I will say I like towing with this XD much better than I did with my F-350 for sure 100%. Ride quality is not even close.

The brand on the steps is Lund. I do like them. They were on the truck when I purchased it and I have no plans to change them.

Thank you sir. That is what I was trying to do, I have owned several different trucks so tried to incorporate that experience with this truck. This was my first video and hope to do more with the truck and with camping and fishing as well since the channel is growing steadily. I hope to be able to keep creating new content.

Thank you, and you are welcome. This was my first video, and I am amazed and humbled by how many have viewed and commented. I plan to continue making them as I do more modifications, and take more trips.

I can’t speak to that yet as I do not have any grades here in FL 😂 and have not gone out of state yet. Down here in the florida heat though gauges stay right in the middle all the time whether pulling the camper or not. Does not seem to be any issue with keeping the motor or transmission cool at all.

@@bubbaschannel0310 you running 5w-30 out there in that heat or still factory 0w-20? How’s the front seat comfort on longer towing drives vs your old 350? A 6.2 SD gas was the other option I’m evaluating against. Your steering wheel and dash area looked very calm vs that of some of the SDs I see towing….

@@ryannylander1819 I will most likely run 5W30 full synthetic. Comfort is top notch. Seats are very comfortable, and the suspension rides very soft even being an XD truck so it is very comfortable on the long trip. My F-350 is was a platinum to its seats were very comfortable as well, the huge difference with it though is that the suspension made the truck ride like a brick so I have to say the Titan is much more comfortable than the F350 due to the ride quality.

@@bubbaschannel0310 great first hand info, very nice to know. Still researching things and other than the slightly lower payload and smaller tank size, and a tad lower mpg (being they weigh so much), it seems like a very viable option. 😊

The Titan XD still uses independent front suspension as apposed to the superduty solid front axel. I believe that is why it rides so smoothly. It is actually even smoother ride once it is fully loaded up with family and trailer. My superduty rode like a brick all the time loaded or unloaded didn’t matter. The best I ever got my superduty to ride was when I had a pallet of concrete mix bags in the bed at about 3600 lbs 🤣

Yes sir I absolutely am. At some point I will do another updated video. In July we have a couple of camping trips planned that are a few hours away from home. May do record a video during or after those trips with towing mileage and such. I am most impressed with the ride quality both when towing and when not. Rides so smooth. This is a great truck and I am happy I made the switch to it!

Target truck?

great looking truck, I have the non XD in blue and grey

I believe that 34’s would probably fit with minor rubbing? There is still space on mine when turning lock to lock. I think some of the rubbing would also depend on if you went wider or not also. In the future i may go with a 295/70R18 when it’s time to replace these. That would be 34” tall and an extra inch wider as well.

I can’t say enough about the ease of use, weight, and the sway control. At some point I plan to do a separate video on it showing real time hookup and disconnect. It really is a step above all other weight hitches.

@@bubbaschannel0310 So you prefer the Anderson over the Equalizer?

@@tonylinkous7940 yes I do, I previously had an Equalizer hitch with our first smaller camper and was not a huge fan of it. So heavy and cumbersome to use. Also I didn’t now that I am using the Anderson Hitch I feel as the the sway control was not there with the Equalizer. At least it did not ride as easy as this Anderson does. Also it does not do the porposing effect over bumps like spring bar designs do.

Yes sir, they had the size I wanted available, and I almost didn’t do it because of the online price, but through a phone call in to them the price went down roughly $200 on the set on that phone call.

He didn’t miss much all day!

He is a great shot, didn’t miss much all day!

It is hard to say for sure. We went camping this past weekend about 90 miles away. Felt the truck moving just a tiny bit but it was also windy. Hard to say if it was the wind or the tires but either way still was plenty stable, not even enough movement for me to have to move the wheel at all. Just enough movement to feel my seat move slightly back and forth without pushing or pulling the truck in any direction. Still plenty happy with them and actually saw better fuel mileage as well. Managed 8.9mpg on the way and 8.4 on the way home even though they are one size larger than stock.

Thank you sir!

There are no airbags on this truck. It sits level with factory suspension only.

Thank you, glad you like your truck. I am pulling the camper with the whole family, dogs and everything today about an hour and a half away for the weekend so there may be another couple videos coming shortly.

Thanks, I honestly was on the fence with the color. They had a brand new White Pro 4X and I liked the white one. I was not willing to pay the price for a new one though. Now that I have it though I do like the color a lot and it really stays looking clean for a long time also 😁

I may not have mentioned it but the power is good. No issues at getting up to speed and pulling at 70ish. I know in the older trucks you needed to lock out fifth gear and make them pull in 4th. My father in law has an older model and does that. Mine is the seven speed and by default when in tow/haul mode it stays in the lower gear. I think most of the time it was in 5th or 6th depending on elevation and never went to 7th at all.

Pulled a 10k lbs box van using a 5k lb gooseneck trailer across country and no issues at all.

Yes it is. I is deceiving because it doesn’t look as big as it is. Due to scheduling when I purchased the truck it was delivered to my house and parked right next to my F-350 superduty they were nearly the exact same size.

Yes, but the diesel in these trucks is proving to be on the unreliable side with parts hard to get ahold of. For reliability reasons I wanted the gas motor. It really only screams if I am in a hurry. I came from a 6.7L Powerstroke F350 and was ready to go back to gasoline motor. I specifically did not want the diesel option in this platform.

Managed 8.9 mpg on my most recent on the way down, and 8.4 mpg on the way back. My diesel F-350 managed about 10.5-11 mpg with this tailer so with the difference in diesel cost over gasoline it is really a wash.

The diesel is only a good option if you plan on a delete.

@@jaywhite1850 agreed, I would only consider one if I was planning to delete it, but still didn’t want to fool with it. The towing MPG is a wash with extra cost of maintenance and the extra cost of the diesel fuel anyway. I wanted the reliability of the gas motor.

Thanks for the support. I had a mid life career change to law enforcement because it was something I always wanted to do and never did until recently.

@@bubbaschannel0310 Mhm, what department are you in if you dont mind me asking, I see your shoulder patch but I dont recognise it, I collect shoulder patches from all states but I havent gotten the one from your department yet

@bubbaschannel7866 ahh alright they havent gotten back to me about sending me a patch or coin yet but ill reach back out

@@Bird_Enforcement they just made up some new coins

@@bubbaschannel0310 Ooh nice nice, I really gotta contact them.

I don’t think you will be disappointed. I certainly am not.

It is always recommended. I was planning to get one when I put the new tires on and it was just a little bit off when it was checked so yes.

It is the Anderson Weight Distribution hitch. Rated up to 16,000 lbs.

@@bubbaschannel0310 Sounds good! Thanks for the quick reply. I'll have to check it out. I'm towing a 30ft toy hauler with a Reese Steadi Flex and I don't think it's doing the job. Also, towing with an F150 that just gets thrown around by any little wind so you got me looking at an XD gasser now. haha.

I swear by that hitch after using a couple different spring bar design hitches. Just check out Andersons website and they only have one option for weight distribution. Very pleased with mine, and very pleased with the truck. I am a lifelong Ford fan, but the F-150 just not quite enough for this trailer, and my F-350 rode like a brick loaded or not. This XD rides like a dream.

Anything specific you want to see? I have had it about 4 month now and I am pretty pleased with it.
