Don't buy the 6.2 gasser I had one and I traded it in a month later for the 6 7 diesel but no penalties almost made a huge mistake a truck is not made for towing heavy it's only good for snow plowing and salting maybe a small trailer enclosed for job site that's it. Spend the extra dough you cheap bastards and get the diesel doesn't matter what truck you're looking for by the diesel
Love the truck! Great video! I wanted to see if the trailer would lift that much weight! Just last week I saw a terrible crash on the freeway. A guy pulling a heavily loaded dump trailer...probably going too fast. Looks like the trailer started swaying, took the truck right off the road and totalled the entire rig. Be careful pulling that kind of bumper weight at 80mph passing people with the confidence of a sports car. It could be the death of you & others.
Brig T Oh yeah for sure you def need to make sure the weight is distributed properly. It dumped it no problem. Only once was their to much weight I had to shovel a bit off to get it to dump. As long as your trailer is in good safe condition as well as the truck and you have a good heavy duty hitch you are good to go. Airbags make a HUGE difference.
Just a fyi the eco boost twin turbo can tow that much weight. Itll bully the truck around a bit but it did a lot better than I thought it would. I also have a 2017 f250 thought that tows like a monster.
@@workplaytv I've heard a lot of people say that buy personally I never had a single problem with mine. I got to 70,000 miles then traded it in just because I needed something bigger. But that f150 did everything I asked of it. Smooth riding truck too and it was pretty fast. I didnt like how it looked though, and felt like driving a explorer. When I got the 250 it was like getting in a 8inch lifted truck compared to it.
Skip Thanks for watching! I say as soon as you start to see over and inch of squat on the truck is a good time. You are at a weight where you will really start to see the benefits of air bags! Such a better experience. If you think the truck feels good now you would be blown away with them on.
workplaytv ok i want to agree that you are not overloaded but I wouldn’t feel comfortable being maxed out and if you have a 350 and 550 why not use those I am a firm believer of having more than enough truck vs trailer than being maxed out or close to it in my opinion..... I feeel most comfortable taking a truck off the lot and being able to hook on to something and not or having very little squat then buying a smaller truck and adding crap to it to substitute for its actual abilities/limitations. Hopefully I am getting my point Accross correctly
Just curious...what is your real, actual available payload? The Diesel engine and all the bling of the Lariat package take up a lot of the payload capacity. These trucks always run out of payload before they hit the max. towing number. Air bags don’t increase your GVWR.
Allan Your right they don’t increase my GVWR at all. My pay load is just over 1800lbs I will check when I get home tomorrow. And yes typically you do run out of payload before you hit the max tow rating. Manufacturers love to throw high tow ratings out there to catch people’s eyes. The uneducated people think that number actually means something. It means nothing. With that said you aim for 10% tongue weight which would put me right around 18,000lbs towing which is what the truck is rated for.
Mopar Charger Oh man without a doubt! The eco boost has loads of power and torque but will cost you $$$ if you plan to work it! But if you just use as a family vehicle it would be great!
Sub’d! Awesome videos man! How do I become an independent contractor like you?? What do you recommend as starting steps for someone looking to start their own business? Coming from a fellow Canuck from Ontario!
fox749 Hey man there are certainly a few key factors. You need to make sure the clients are there before you’d start anything. What do you bring different to the table to put you over the top from your competition? You need to be prepared to sacrifice your personal time. Business needs to come first especially at the start. There are many things to consider buddy.
workplaytv thanks for the quick comment! I hear you and definitely agree personal life has to be sacrificed and business has to be top priority. I’m currently working for a general contractor doing everything from cleaning up after trades to framing whole basements. Definitely know I want to own my own company someday and really envy you and what you’ve built for yourself, albeit a lot of hard work. I guess I got my hmwk cut out for me. Excited to see more vids!
Hey great videos..I have pretty much the same truck except mines a 350. I just bought it and I have about 800 miles on it.i love the truck so far the only thing I'm wondering about is a slight hum/vibration coming from the rear end or driveshaft on the highway when I am going between 77-80 miles an hour. Just wondering if you notice anything like that on your truck. Thanks
Hey thanks for watching. I don't think I have noticed that or heard of anyone else having that issue. I would recommend to call your dealer and have that checked out. Thanks again.
Tyler Lachance yep TL. I'M getting a vibe in mine ,PS CC 4X4 160" 3.55 mine's at 62 -68sch, built Oct 17. seems to be more pronounced with no load, pulled about 8500 lbs camper and didn't notice it as much ,love the truck she needs something to work 2 .
I just purchased a tiny home that will weigh approximately 14000LBS AND have a height of approximately 13ft 4inches. It will be a tongue pull. Would you recommend air bags or super Springs for a safer more controlled ride for my 2002 7.3 litre F250. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I appreciate your videos, there are not very many ford diesel towing vloggers out there, so don't stop!
there is NO WAY that your truck (3/4 ton(ne)) is rated to pull over 10k lbs im a bumper pull situation !!!!!!!!! I would agree IF that was a 1 ton(ne) truck... my 2017 ram 2500 diesel is rated for 10k bumper pull or 17k for 5th wheel/gooseneck mode.
maximum woof There’s the link. Very surprised by your comment considering most 1/2 trucks now have a tow rating of over 10k and have been that way for a number of years now.
Mr Woof. My 2017 F350 Dually pulls 22,000 Lbs straight off the hitch with a 2200 Lb tongue weight. Im sure the f250 would pull half that considering its basically the same truck minus the extra 2 wheels.
But but but mr my DoDGe salesman said dodge may be uglier but drive better and tow more seems that is all false... womp womp get over it, its a ford thing little buddy!
that 6.7 is a beast
Like it I have a 2011 f250 gasser and tow a12000 pound Montana 5th wheel , people look at me as if I'm crazy. But it tow's and brakes great.
Dedicated Ford guy, sweet ride, Thanks for sharing
i guess I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch new movies online?
@Jase Arturo i use Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Julian Oscar yea, have been watching on flixzone for months myself :D
@Julian Oscar Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it !!
@Jase Arturo Happy to help =)
New to your channel! I’ve got the same truck and can’t wait to see what you haul next
Have you seen the 550 videos towing 30k?
Don't buy the 6.2 gasser I had one and I traded it in a month later for the 6 7 diesel but no penalties almost made a huge mistake a truck is not made for towing heavy it's only good for snow plowing and salting maybe a small trailer enclosed for job site that's it.

Wolf Hahahaha I couldn’t agree more buddy!
Looks like it handles the weight good! No need for wight distribution???
Honestly with the air bags you dont need it!

HeadHunter Ecoboost is junk I owned one. Also towing that much weight with a 1/2 ton is asking for trouble.

HeadHunter Haha yeah. I went through a set of turbos at 60,000 miles and vacuum pumps like crazy!
@@workplaytv haha I guess I just got lucky then. And besides towing every now and then I took it pretty easy on it too because is was my daily driver.
Do you also have a fifth wheel hitch, or do you know if those airbags are compatible with a fifth wheel hitch
Chris W I don’t have a fifth wheel hitch on this truck but yeah the airbags are compatible.
Work&Play TV okay thanks for the information!
Great video I’m going to have to subscribe if you do videos like this!
Awesome!! i hope you did. I have done alot more vidoes with this truck and my new 550 towing 30,000lbs!!
I am interested in buying a Super Duty and am considering an f250 or f350. What does your truck door tag show for GVWR, front and rear axle GAWR?
Nice video. I have the 2018 F250 and use sway bars to tow my 8000 lbs. TT. At what point should you consider air bags?
Skip Thanks for watching! I say as soon as you start to see over and inch of squat on the truck is a good time. You are at a weight where you will really start to see the benefits of air bags! Such a better experience. If you think the truck feels good now you would be blown away with them on.
I had my air bags put on as soon as I got my 2017 ford F-250 and my truck is deleted as well
T Hill Mine will be deleted soon!!!
That truck is laughing at that load. You could throw more in their with the air bags.
I have hauled 18k. Video is on here
Question why not just get a dually? Wouldn't have to do no suspension mods and would actually be towing legally
cordell spinner I have a 550 cab and chassis, a 350 and this truck I am legal. I also wanted a truck for myself that can also work.
workplaytv ok i want to agree that you are not overloaded but I wouldn’t feel comfortable being maxed out and if you have a 350 and 550 why not use those I am a firm believer of having more than enough truck vs trailer than being maxed out or close to it in my opinion.....

Work&Play TV Did you have a chance to take the truck to a scale to see what your actual available payload is?
Between the f250 super duty and the ram 2500. Which one has the best tow capacity?..
Mopar Charger The 250 does because the Ram doesn’t offer the high output engine in the 250.
workplaytv thanks for the reply!. Just subscribed!.. hope i get one this coming year. V8 is better than the eco boost?
Mopar Charger Oh man without a doubt! The eco boost has loads of power and torque but will cost you $$$ if you plan to work it! But if you just use as a family vehicle it would be great!
workplaytv whats the fuel tank capacity?. And how much does it last a full tank. My job is about 10 miles from home. Lol
Mopar Charger Empty you can get 550 miles to a tank. Depends on how much you idle and all that shit.

Mpg???
I've been doing firewood for 5 years now my boss has been doing firewood for 18 years now
Lol... 110 psi in my bags... “its not squatting really at all”. Yah u have a ton of air in your bags like ALOT!
That was my point. I didn’t say the natural truck wasn’t squatting
personally couldn't watch with camera shaking.

9,000$ option. No thanks 6.2 gasser does everything I ask it to do.
John Slocum If you owned one you may not say that. But the 6.2 is good.
Have fun stopping at gas pumps. CUMMINS>powerjoke durawhat?
I used to say that when i dint own a diesel now i ask for the 9k option lol
Edit out the card in your center console
