If you ever watch PD Diesel, he has an entire fleet of ram 3500s with the HO cummins and aisin transmission and he puts 400k-500k miles on all of them.
Alright Alex, You are learning. I had a small mobile repair business so I work on all of these trucks. A truck that is easy to fix stays fixed. both Ford and Chevy/GMC are really hard to work on so it takes longer to fix which means more down time. I have been watching your videos for about a year and a half and was surprised that you didn't know much about trucks (SRW vs DRW and stuff like that), but you have come a long way. I would recommend getting a small diagnostic tool like a launch so you can read and clear your check engine lights. You would be amazed how many codes get cleared and don't come back. Of course repair places never say I cleared that code and it didn't come back so it is good to go.
Enterprise charge about $2,000 per month for 1 ton truck (3,000 miles included) everything over is 0.25 cents per mile. If you drive 10,000 miles per month, your monthly bill would be around $2,000 + $1,750 = $3,750 Plus diesel($3,000+) insurance($1,500), dispatch service (10%) food, hotel cost. Question: how much you need to gross to make some $ ???
Your right on with your assessment, I had a 2008 F250 with the 6.4. Lost the number 8 piston and rod at 21K. It was not covered on warranty. I also had 2011 Chevy 3500 gas. This motor had a misfire and would go into limp mode. Neither the dealer or my mechanic could resolve the issue. Now I have 2018 Ram 3500 with Cummins and Aisin transmission. It is easy to service and has been the most reliable.
Most solid video you’ve done. Realistic, no fan boy shit. Do the best thing for the health of the business. No other metric need apply. It’s a machine.
that's because someone didn't take care of it and modified it on the cheap. Never ever use a modified truck to hotshot. Just the bigger tires will cost you money in fuel.
I have all Rams a 2015,2016 two 2017 two 2018 and a 2020. All are dually with the Asian transmission. The newer the more power and better braking the have. They all have been good other than a few minor issues except the 2020 When we brought it home from the dealer two days later at 140 miles it would not start because of a bad battery. Cummins engine’s are the way to go and the Trucks we run are loaded limited and big horn models. They have been less trouble than you would think.
Idk my chevy diesel has 400k on the clock and now I'm looking for a new truck. Original engine and trans never been rebuilt. I have had many fords with major mechanical not able to make it to 150k.
yes, i hauled my 14k trailer from calif to colorado up and down mountain hills and back. i would have been afraid to take my f550 cause it wouldnt have made it. ps, my f550 motor seized at 160k. my chevy has over 400k and is my daily driver work truck. i drive 200 miles a day typically.
@@Xpbeast97 should respect your history. more over the reasons gas engines were more common had nothing to do withe the quality of the engines. it had everything to do with the cost of fuel. when you could buy fuel for around 25 cents per gallon you were considering things in a whole different light.
They were more common yes but the reliability still wasn’t there at the time my grandpa drove truck and his diesel blew up on him and the only thing they could afford was a gas motor, not to mention the fact that diesels of that time did not like the cold so when you were in the truck you had to keep the revs high just to keep the engine warm. Both diesel and gas have come a long way since that time
Gas sure moved this country around probably when your Grandpa was truck I've got a 22 GMC 2500HD it 6.6 gas 14000 up to around 30K all time in the mountains does fine I miss the Jake from the diesel but you can keep burning your piss with your diesel if you want I've had no problems at all gas always cheaper always around to you got RV pumps all major truck stops I run 8 percent cheaper end of the month with gas in my case
I have a 2020 2500HD diesel / allison 10 speed transmission. It is the best truck I have ever owned. I went to virginia beach and back from the midwest thru the mountains with 7 degree grades. That exhaust brake is the best button on the whole truck. I did not use my brakes except minimally. The computer control system is very intuitive on this truck. If you find yourself in top gear with the exhaust brake and it is speeding up because of the 7 degree grade then lightly pump the brake. It will downshift. If you are still not ok with the speed, pump the brake peddle again. I did this all the time to get it to downshift to the right engine speed. 2500rpm seemed to be just what it needed most of the time but I saw 3500 rpm once and it was making a lot of noise but it was slowing down without any pedal. So yea, anyone who tells me that the 2020 chevy hd system is crap has never driven one up and down the mountains like I have....Oh and I was 23,000 lbs combined weight, non cdl hotshot.
@@jc41457 GM’s exhaust brakes is the best by far I can pull 10,000 through the million dollar highway and not touch my brakes once in those mountains. Passing by the 70,000 $ fords and dodges with burnt out brakes lol
@@TheMontoya09 Just traded for 2021 3500hd dually diesel chassis cab. 40k lb combined weoght rating. With cruise set to 55mph or so the Americam mountain ranges are a piece of cake and no brake pedal except for curves and 5raffic. I had 97% and 96% brake life remaining at 26k miles when I traded the 2500hd diesel.
I have a 2013 Ram Cummins with the Aisin, and I absolutely love the truck. Like Alex said no truck is perfect but the Cummins with the Aisin is a very very reliable drivetrain especially for towing they pull like a semi
Why do you go with the stock 3500 bed instead of just getting a 4500 and buying a chassis cab and a hot shot bed from CM? Is there any benefit to the setup you have going here if you only really use it to haul trailers with anyway?
You can always see a GM pickup on the highway. Only one front driving light working. Terrible wiring, transmissions, rust, cheap plastic interior and especially the DEF tank below the passenger door.
You are absolutely right. I own a 2011 RAM with the R68 transmission. After doing Hot Shot for 40,000 miles the trans went out in a small town. The shop rebuilt the trans better than before with a triple plate torque converter and modified fluid plate. The cost $8,900 for the trans work, PLUS I lost over $10k for being out of work. I'm still going to keep the 2011 RAM... BUT I decided I needed a real truck so I chose a 2018 RAM Laramie "High Output" with the ASIN transmission and dual rear wheels. I had to put new Michelins AT 2's on the rears along with "Cat Eye" tire pressure guague. The only other thing I need to change is the rear from 3.73 to 4.11 to put the engine in the torque curve. What a TRUCK - the difference between the 2011 and the (new to me) 2017 is like day and night. Just waiting on the DMV for new tags - and WAITING and........ Two trucks? Here are some points: 1. Well if one RAM has a break down I can self rescue and bring the dead one to my local mechanic and put the other one into service. 2. My 2011 RAM was not California legal so I didn't take any loads there and I couldn't pickup there as well. The 2017 has all the emissions stuff in tact so I can haul to and from CA. 3. I could put my daughter who is 32 to work driving the second one. She could make a lot more money than she is doing now. 4. I can just have a personal truck without having to unhook the trailer every time I need to go somewhere. 5. Insurance is dirt CHEAP on the truck used for personal purposes. We are talking $745 per year "personal use" on the 2017 3500 Laramie RAM. When I put the 2017 into service I will put it on the commercial policy and move the 2011 RAM to the personal policy.

Diesel tech here. Diesels we’re originally less complicated as they were the first internal combustion engines conceived. But now every diesel has a turbocharger, stupid DPF, & SCR systems for exhaust. Definitely made it more complicated than it needs to be.
I bought a 2020 Chevy 3500 diesel and I just put on 42,000 miles over winter and it did not give me much trouble at all I only had to replace a diesel exhaust fluid sensor twice but other than that it runs fine
@@sashaswift5045 I actually sold it this spring I had a lemon. I had to replace the injectors twice in two weeks this spring with only 70,000 miles on and the Chevy dealer said the engine was bad so it was just one of those bad deals. But I sold it for the same price I bought it for brand new so I didn’t lose any money on it
What made you change your mind? I just saw a video you posted on May 2020 about the 2020 Ford F350 and how you liked them better than the Ram even pteffered the 10 speed over the aisin.
Cummins 🥇🏆 You can’t beat a 6 cylinder inline diesel ! Easy to work on and you get parts where ever you are in the world... the only difference for my taste would be a 6 speed manual.
$160, 000 mi on my newest ram 3500 dually (2019) bought it March 2020 and I've done nothing but service the truck I have not even replaced the brake pads yet. YES I said I have not replaced the brake pads yet and I tow every day. Oil changes fuel filters and of course the 100,000 mi service from front to back. Love this truck !
Before diesel semi's they were gas powered. Geared low and high torque engines. Once diesel engines were introduced (originally designed to run on peanut oil) they took over.
why do you run non cdl. I don't get why, is it insurance, fees or what. whats the advantage of running non-cdl? if you have a cdl you could carry heavier loads meaning more money.
I know a couple of people who have a Dodge ram 3500 with a 6.7 Cummins diesel. One had a 2020 and the engine blew at only 30000 miles. The Other had a 2018 the engine blew at round 60000 miles. The 2020 Had a fuel injector stick open and blew a hole through the piston.
@Rob Phillips at 29,000 had def system problems at 48,000 both front calipers locked up then again at 60,000 had to replace ball joints front hubs rear wheel bearings and no matter what has gone wrong dodge has always refused to honor the warranty! Just had too replace the rear leaf springs and a rear abs speed sensor and the most weight we haul with it is 10,000 lbs. There was also a recall for Calipers but according to Dodge we got one of the few 2019's that got the good Calipers not the recall calipers but they've locked up twice! So I wouldn't buy another Dodge or have one even if it was free
@@jusburninitdownlogistics6884 I'm not surprised. I've basically written Dodge off since they got rid of the 5.9. That was the stupidest thing they could do. Plus, Daimler Chrysler kinda ticked me off back in 2008 with all their shenanigans with the federal government and I've never really trusted them since. Government Motors is right there with them. I'm not a huge Ford fan but at least they got their game together. And I own a Chevy right now... sigh.
Hey Alex, putting the brand A vs brand B aside for a moment my question revolves around pick up vs chassis cab. I realize the big three de-tune their CC engines for longevity compared to the pickup versions of the same trucks, but does real-world highway towing suffer as a result? Thanks
Not saying you're completely wrong but it's kind of hard to knock on a GM product when you've never owned one You might want to try it out before you believe everything you hear. My 2019 Duramax dually has 115,000 mi has zero maintenance other than oil changes fuel filters and tires how much work have you done on the Rams and the Fords Tell me that.
I have a 2017 L5P 3500 with 258000 mi and haul heavier loads than Alex. l had a exhaust manifold gasket blow out and that's it besides regular maintenance. And I do all maint.work myself. And yes I have a CDL
So just got off the phone with Dave at the pilot program enterprise and the program is not going to be available for 6-8 months they are unable to secure trucks from the manufacturer . you should put that disclaimer in your videos
I'm wondering about the upcoming AISIN replacement I've been hearing about. Supposedly ZF has a new 8-sp automatic that will be going behind the Cummins. OR.. maybe that'll replace the POS 68RFE and the AISIN will stick around. Dunno. Honestly though I wish they'd just do ONE version of the Cummins and one transmission.
Curious.. all these trucks rust.. why don't semi's rust? Never see s rusty semi. Are they using higher qhiltu paint? I know the hood is usually fiberglass right? But still steel cab. Just curious.
Just researching Hotshot trucking and found your channel. I laughed as you were stating not to get a Chevy truck and the ad that came up was from Chevy lol. I had test drove the dodge and the ford back in 17 and ended up with the F250. It has the 6speed and it’s a supercab long bed srw 10k GVWR. I do like the rams and if I had to eventually buy a couple trucks to increase the fleet size I’d have 15-18 rams for sure. I still love my 6.7 Powerstroke though.
i bulletproofed my 6.0 powerstroke f550 lariat and its got 787k miles on it only things ive replaced was ac compressor and drive shaft its got an auto trans in it and ive been hotshoting for 10 years with it towing anywhere between 10k - 21k tractors and skid steers 6.0s are great once bulletproofed which is 5k
Just wondering why you go for F-350s and Ram 3500s, is there a reason you don't go up to bigger trucks like the F-450 or whatever Ram does (4500?) Asking from the UK btw, where hotshot trucking isn't really a thing, thanks
I just talked to Faye, she said currently 5 to 6 months minimum wait for a truck. She said to call back in two or three months and see if they were in a better supply of rental trucks. Posted this here so you can let your viewers know also
Yeah, the 10 speed isn’t bad. There is nothing really wrong with the trucks. Ford is just having some calibration issues like they did on the 17 F150s with the 10 speed. My money is going for the ford
@@joebrings5817 you know it. That reason is not because they are the cheapest like many Chevy guys say (because they’re not) it’s because they’re the best. The PowerStroke even powers the MRAP. These things are beaten to hell and back all day every day and keep going. That’s tough man, #FordForce
I love it when someone on the Internet doesn't bother pussy footing around and just lays it out there and shits all over something even though they know people (who like that something) are going to get all up in their feelings about it. Just say it how it is. Refreshing for a change.
I have a lawn care buisness with 7 trucks. I prefer older trucks that I can get parts at a junkyard. The main reason is I'm never waiting for parts and they are dirt cheap. I just got a year axle yesterday for my 400,000 mile chevy it was $80 and it only had 110,000 miles so it should outlast the truck. My oldest truck is 1999 and newest is 2008.
You ain't gonna catch me "Found On Road Dead" with that infamous blue oval! I love my 2018 Ram equipped with a motor that Ran this industry for many decades
Hello! What about 2013 3500 ram standard 6 speed transmission to start hot shot on ending 2024 so it was buy new by my brother in law never working heavy loads just 190K miles runs fine not issue not light not problems ever
I know 6.0 Powerstrokes are really not meant for hotshotting. But...If you get the truck "Dealerproofed" in Atlanta or "Bulletproofed" in AZ the 6.0 is probably the best diesel truck made. They put lifetime warranties on those trucks and the guy in Atlanta won't even touch any other truck.
I worked and retired from state dot and that 6.0 was the whole reason the state went back to using gas engines in the crew cabs.🤗 You shouldn't have to remove a while cab to get easy access.
Lmao I almost lost my business when I started with a "Bulletproof 6.0". Motor blew 3 times and a veteran Ford tech could not figure out what was wrong with it. We junked it. Thank Goodness for a Mazda B3000 that would not stop kicking or we would be finished with all the grief that truck caused me. Ford doesn't even honor the recalls for that one and there was a class action lawsuit for that particular motor.
I have a GM for 6 years and I have the 2021 and they have never given me any problems at all. I have been loaded with 12k LB, it is the maximum that I can go in my loads, they are not dually, if they have both air suspension, the only thing that I have done is what normal filter oil change brake fluid nothing everything that should be done in a vehicle and more than work nothing else I had a ram I had a problem with the deasel pump with the cp2 radiator pipe I had a ford and in 2 months with 68k miles the transaction
For non-CDL: 7.3 Powerstroke! I was looking at a 2018 Tradesman flatbed...loved the setup but couldn't justify the expense. And my 1999 F350 rides so much better.
I'll have to agree with you. While I'm a Ford guy, I can't argue with the Cummins W/O the problematic fuel pump and having an Aisin transmission. Plus, exhaust brake. The Cummins has a much better exhaust brake than either of the V8 configurations. If they could just figure out the perfect tuning for the Cummins as far as fuel mileage is concerned, I really think that they would distance themselves even further from the competition to the point to where complete engine redesign would become a better prospect than simply retuning. Honestly, if Ford came out with a straight 6 (which would likely increase its engine braking), that would be the one I'd go for. Good video, sir!
The Cummins is not better than the Powerstroke when it comes to pulling. It’s not better than the Powerstroke work wise. Fords last longer in the commercial world of Dodge and Chevy. Enough with the lies you believe.
i called today 4/2/21 to speak with fae at enterprise and she wasnt there but the guy i spoke with said theyre not doing that program. they havent signed anyone new up in about a year. could you do a video on this?
Now that I think about it, I wonder if it’s on hold because of the shortage of trucks due to covid. The dealers have been charging a premium for all trucks and SUVs.
How/when will the rising fuel costs, increasing insurance, maintenance and vehicle prices and incoming hyperinflation affect the mileage rates for shipping? Always interesting, thanks!
Dear to me is the anti-slip diff. Ford gave that up row eLSD and optional eLocker. Neither perform anywhere as near as well to the Ram anti-spin when backing a trailer in mud or on wet grass. Ram for me.
Get a manual if you know how to drive one. I had no problems with my Mercedes G56 that was in my 05 ram 3500 4X4 with the HO 5.9 Cummins. When the engine blow the tranny had over 350,000 miles no issues. I put a complete clutch kit from south bend clutch. Week after I purchased the truck. The dual mass flywheel is garbage especially when you install a programmer. And juice up the HP. With a little practice I was able to float all the gears up and down W/O using the clutch.
With Ram, the drivetrain will never fail (as long as you get aisin), it’s everything else that fails around the truck. But still better than a Ford or GM. Cummins knows how to build durable engines, inline 6 is easiest to service and pulls like a semi truck.
2019 & 2020 have CP4 fuel pump issues if I remember correctly 2021 I believe they switched back to the more reliable CP3 pump if you can find a clean low mileage 2018 honestly I'd get that A channel called PD Diesel has covered extensively the problems with the new Ram trucks - he is testing out a Ford now because of it Also 2025 ram trucks should be getting a new 8 speed transmission which will improve fuel economy, might be worth while to wait too
I said it long time ago that the 10speed was going to be the issue with the Ford. Anything past 7th (1:1) gear ratio under that towing weight is asking for trouble.
@@kevinmedina6531 what kind of weight do you tow with your 10 speed on a daily basis? Im normally hauling 10 to 20k lbs (plus a 12K trailer) with the HO cummins/Aisin 6 speed combo. A GVW of about 30,000 to 38,000 lbs stop's the 10 speed from even looking for 7th gear and beyond, in fact tow/haul mode will automatically exclude any gear after 6th on the fords.
I am not a hot shot but I purchased a 2022 2500 Cummins Bighorn just like the one from TFL truck silver but mine is blue. Towing a fifth wheel but may need to upgrade to 3500 to have more payload capacity. Only have 6700 miles so far so good. Good video!
I have a 2020 ram, I’ve been hotshotting for about a year now, what’s all this cp4 stuff? I have right around 75k miles and my truck still runs perfect.. should I expect some disappointment soon?? Guys??
Pd diesel has a video about the cp4. Find it and watch it. He describes how he thinks they fail. Pretty much don’t run your truck low on fuel and you should be good. Also use a diesel fuel additive.
I have a 2020 Ram 4500. I was getting some preventative maintenance done at the dealer and spoke with the service manager. He said they have seen two cp4 failures. This was at one of the largest Ram dealers nationwide. There are literally millions of these Bosch fuel pumps out there and a very small percentage fail.
I know it is the most asked question and there are fan boys of every brand. I don't care what brand I need a dually to tow a 18k toyhauler with about 3600lbs pin weight. What is the best most reliable truck?
I'd add to your question, "What is the most reliable truck for this long?" Every new truck can do 60k miles no problem. Ford & GM use similar 10 speed transmissions and seem to fail at 150k (just outside the manufacture warrranty) Ram can get their fuel pump right. All of them have emissions problems. Best truck On a budget: 4th gen ram, specifically 2016 - 2018 with 6.7 cummins & AS69RC Aisin HD transmission (If possible one that is already modified under the hood). My 2015 did 295k miles then I stupidly blew up the motor because of dumb modifications. After putting a used engine in, I drove it till 500k. Best truck: Doesn't exist lol but 2025 Ram with 8 speed solves all my frustrations with the 4th gens. and the fuel pump probs. 2025 Chevy has 18 inch dually wheels. 18 inch tires last way longer that normal 17s 2025 Ford has the best tech. My 2020 ford transit I can lock, unlock, & start with my phone app, also Ford CEO is pretty cool
Just bought a 2021 3500 today. We will see how it holds up. Im hoping well. Truck is very nice. More amenities than the RAM and Ford at the same price point
Was that a Chevy work truck in the background? LOL. 6.4 Power-stroke was last produced in 2010. 6.7 came on in 2011 if I’m not mistaken. I see all of the big 3 MFG pulling goosenecks down the highway. There does seem to be more Ford & Ram than GM.

2015 silverado 3500 dually with 434k only problems ive had were the def lifer pump twice..other then that shes been good & is doing good
I have a 2020 2500HD diesel / allison 10 speed transmission. It is the best truck I have ever owned. I went to virginia beach and back from the midwest thru the mountains with 7 degree grades. That exhaust brake is the best button on the whole truck. I did not use my brakes except minimally. The computer control system is very intuitive on this truck. If you find yourself in top gear with the exhaust brake and it is speeding up because of the 7 degree grade then lightly pump the brake. It will downshift. If you are still not ok with the speed, pump the brake peddle again. I did this all the time to get it to downshift to the right engine speed. 2500rpm seemed to be just what it needed most of the time but I saw 3500 rpm once and it was making a lot of noise but it was slowing down without any pedal. So yea, anyone who tells me that the 2020 chevy hd system is crap has never driven one up and down the mountains like I have....Oh and I was 23,000 lbs combined weight, non cdl hotshot.
@@jc41457 GM’s exhaust brakes is the best by far I can pull 10,000 through the million dollar highway and not touch my brakes once in those mountains. Passing by the 70,000 $ fords and dodges with burnt out brakes lol
@@TheMontoya09 Just traded for 2021 3500hd dually diesel chassis cab. 40k lb combined weoght rating.

Why do you go with the stock 3500 bed instead of just getting a 4500 and buying a chassis cab and a hot shot bed from CM? Is there any benefit to the setup you have going here if you only really use it to haul trailers with anyway?
Talking smack about GM with one in the Background...Love It!!
You can always see a GM pickup on the highway. Only one front driving light working. Terrible wiring, transmissions, rust, cheap plastic interior and especially the DEF tank below the passenger door.
You are absolutely right. I own a 2011 RAM with the R68 transmission. After doing Hot Shot for 40,000 miles the trans went out in a small town. The shop rebuilt the trans better than before with a triple plate torque converter and modified fluid plate. The cost $8,900 for the trans work, PLUS I lost over $10k for being out of work. I'm still going to keep the 2011 RAM... BUT I decided I needed a real truck so I chose a 2018 RAM Laramie "High Output" with the ASIN transmission and dual rear wheels. I had to put new Michelins AT 2's on the rears along with "Cat Eye" tire pressure guague. The only other thing I need to change is the rear from 3.73 to 4.11 to put the engine in the torque curve. What a TRUCK - the difference between the 2011 and the (new to me) 2017 is like day and night. Just waiting on the DMV for new tags - and WAITING and........
Two trucks? Here are some points:
1. Well if one RAM has a break down I can self rescue and bring the dead one to my local mechanic and put the other one into service.
2. My 2011 RAM was not California legal so I didn't take any loads there and I couldn't pickup there as well. The 2017 has all the emissions stuff in tact so I can haul to and from CA.
3. I could put my daughter who is 32 to work driving the second one. She could make a lot more money than she is doing now.
4. I can just have a personal truck without having to unhook the trailer every time I need to go somewhere.
5. Insurance is dirt CHEAP on the truck used for personal purposes. We are talking $745 per year "personal use" on the 2017 3500 Laramie RAM. When I put the 2017 into service I will put it on the commercial policy and move the 2011 RAM to the personal policy.

Diesel tech here. Diesels we’re originally less complicated as they were the first internal combustion engines conceived. But now every diesel has a turbocharger, stupid DPF, & SCR systems for exhaust. Definitely made it more complicated than it needs to be.

Before diesel semi's they were gas powered. Geared low and high torque engines. Once diesel engines were introduced (originally designed to run on peanut oil) they took over.
why do you run non cdl. I don't get why, is it insurance, fees or what. whats the advantage of running non-cdl? if you have a cdl you could carry heavier loads meaning more money.
Blow past Rams and Fords all day , every day, and I haul 18k. If you say a Chevy can’t do the same as the other 2, you have lost your marbles.

@Rob Phillips at 29,000 had def system problems at 48,000 both front calipers locked up then again at 60,000 had to replace ball joints front hubs rear wheel bearings and no matter what has gone wrong dodge has always refused to honor the warranty! Just had too replace the rear leaf springs and a rear abs speed sensor and the most weight we haul with it is 10,000 lbs. There was also a recall for Calipers but according to Dodge we got one of the few 2019's that got the good Calipers not the recall calipers but they've locked up twice! So I wouldn't buy another Dodge or have one even if it was free

Hey Alex, putting the brand A vs brand B aside for a moment my question revolves around pick up vs chassis cab. I realize the big three de-tune their CC engines for longevity compared to the pickup versions of the same trucks, but does real-world highway towing suffer as a result? Thanks
Hey Alex Thanks for the push! Got my LLC going and everything! Thanks for the motivation!
Let me know if you need a dispatcher. How much are you making weekly?
Same did mine 2day....
Do you have to get your LLC first in order to rent the trucks from enterprise?
If you're not regularly towing max weight, is there any benefit to a dually vs the presumably reduced maintenance of a SRW?
One with tires and a motor 🤷🏻♂️
Not saying you're completely wrong but it's kind of hard to knock on a GM product when you've never owned one You might want to try it out before you believe everything you hear. My 2019 Duramax dually has 115,000 mi has zero maintenance other than oil changes fuel filters and tires how much work have you done on the Rams and the Fords Tell me that.
I have a 2017 L5P 3500 with 258000 mi and haul heavier loads than Alex. l had a exhaust manifold gasket blow out and that's it besides regular maintenance. And I do all maint.work myself. And yes I have a CDL
So just got off the phone with Dave at the pilot program enterprise and the program is not going to be available for 6-8 months they are unable to secure trucks from the manufacturer . you should put that disclaimer in your videos
I'm wondering about the upcoming AISIN replacement I've been hearing about. Supposedly ZF has a new 8-sp automatic that will be going behind the Cummins. OR.. maybe that'll replace the POS 68RFE and the AISIN will stick around. Dunno. Honestly though I wish they'd just do ONE version of the Cummins and one transmission.
Curious.. all these trucks rust.. why don't semi's rust? Never see s rusty semi. Are they using higher qhiltu paint? I know the hood is usually fiberglass right? But still steel cab. Just curious.

Hotshot trucking and found your channel. I laughed as you were stating not to get a Chevy truck and the ad that came up was from Chevy lol. I had test drove the dodge and the ford back in 17 and ended up with the F250. It has the 6speed and it’s a supercab long bed srw 10k GVWR. I do like the rams and if I had to eventually buy a couple trucks to increase the fleet size I’d have 15-18 rams for sure. I still love my 6.7 Powerstroke though.
Now that Ram went back to the cp3 pump I'm guessing the 2021 Ram would be just as good right?
i bulletproofed my 6.0 powerstroke f550 lariat and its got 787k miles on it only things ive replaced was ac compressor and drive shaft its got an auto trans in it and ive been hotshoting for 10 years with it towing anywhere between 10k - 21k tractors and skid steers 6.0s are great once bulletproofed which is 5k
Sorry alex but the 6.7 11-14 had issues 15-16 the 6.7 was damn near perfect except for ford cp4 issues that go into 2020
Just wondering why you go for F-350s and Ram 3500s, is there a reason you don't go up to bigger trucks like the F-450 or whatever Ram does (4500?)

I know 6.0 Powerstrokes are really not meant for hotshotting. But...If you get the truck "Dealerproofed" in Atlanta or "Bulletproofed" in AZ the 6.0 is probably the best diesel truck made. They put lifetime warranties on those trucks and the guy in Atlanta won't even touch any other truck.

Correct the back door software is the most important.
I'll have to agree with you. While I'm a Ford guy, I can't argue with the Cummins W/O the problematic fuel pump and having an Aisin transmission. Plus, exhaust brake. The Cummins has a much better exhaust brake than either of the V8 configurations. If they could just figure out the perfect tuning for the Cummins as far as fuel mileage is concerned, I really think that they would distance themselves even further from the competition to the point to where complete engine redesign would become a better prospect than simply retuning. Honestly, if Ford came out with a straight 6 (which would likely increase its engine braking), that would be the one I'd go for. Good video, sir!
The Cummins is not better than the Powerstroke when it comes to pulling. It’s not better than the Powerstroke work wise. Fords last longer in the commercial world of Dodge and Chevy. Enough with the lies you believe.
In CDL world, they are called tonka toys. Trucks have Jake brakes and air brakes.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if it’s on hold because of the shortage of trucks due to covid. The dealers have been charging a premium for all trucks and SUVs.
How/when will the rising fuel costs, increasing insurance, maintenance and vehicle prices and incoming hyperinflation affect the mileage rates for shipping? Always interesting, thanks!
Dear to me is the anti-slip diff. Ford gave that up row eLSD and optional eLocker. Neither perform anywhere as near as well to the Ram anti-spin when backing a trailer in mud or on wet grass. Ram for me.
bro are you sure you´re not Tarantino (Quentin) lost brother?.. lol.. Good video as always!
Get a manual if you know how to drive one. I had no problems with my Mercedes G56 that was in my 05 ram 3500 4X4 with the HO 5.9 Cummins. When the engine blow the tranny had over 350,000 miles no issues. I put a complete clutch kit from south bend clutch. Week after I purchased the truck. The dual mass flywheel is garbage especially when you install a programmer. And juice up the HP. With a little practice I was able to float all the gears up and down W/O using the clutch.
When you said GM sucks, the truck on the other side behind you was a chevy 😂
Notice how he dosent use it for hotshotting, cause it would break down and couldn't tow more than 20k pounds🤣🤣
I've heard nothing but good about ford's 10 speed have a couple friends running them with no issues what seems to be the problem?
When towing heavy all the time they don’t last. Ford benchmarked it at 150k miles so it makes sense that that’s when they fail
Theres a reason why nearly all new semi are inline 6 engines , fuel efficient less moving parts means less things to break
I just pulled a Ford tow truck with my Chevy and it's a 1998 ford's R trash fine with the rams
With Ram, the drivetrain will never fail (as long as you get aisin), it’s everything else that fails around the truck. But still better than a Ford or GM. Cummins knows how to build durable engines, inline 6 is easiest to service and pulls like a semi truck.
Yeah I don't want to replace my transmission every 40k miles thank you I'll take a Powerstroke.
So you're saying anything with the Asian transmission is better off with your Towing over 20,000 lbs

A channel called PD Diesel has covered extensively the problems with the new Ram trucks - he is testing out a Ford now because of it
Also 2025 ram trucks should be getting a new 8 speed transmission which will improve fuel economy, might be worth while to wait too
I said it long time ago that the 10speed was going to be the issue with the Ford. Anything past 7th (1:1) gear ratio under that towing weight is asking for trouble.
I have one with about 200k miles and i’ve had no problems, you really just have to keep with the maintenance.
@@kevinmedina6531 what kind of weight do you tow with your 10 speed on a daily basis? Im normally hauling 10 to 20k lbs (plus a 12K trailer) with the HO cummins/Aisin 6 speed combo.

You might of got a lucky one but might be a good idea to look into a cp3 conversation kit.
Pd diesel has a video about the cp4. Find it and watch it. He describes how he thinks they fail. Pretty much don’t run your truck low on fuel and you should be good. Also use a diesel fuel additive.
I have a 2020 Ram 4500. I was getting some preventative maintenance done at the dealer and spoke with the service manager. He said they have seen two cp4 failures. This was at one of the largest Ram dealers nationwide. There are literally millions of these Bosch fuel pumps out there and a very small percentage fail.

Better question: how big are dem pupils???? 👀
I know it is the most asked question and there are fan boys of every brand. I don't care what brand I need a dually to tow a 18k toyhauler with about 3600lbs pin weight. What is the best most reliable truck?
I'd add to your question, "What is the most reliable truck for this long?"
Every new truck can do 60k miles no problem.
Ford & GM use similar 10 speed transmissions and seem to fail at 150k (just outside the manufacture warrranty)
Ram can get their fuel pump right.
All of them have emissions problems.
Best truck On a budget: 4th gen ram, specifically 2016 - 2018 with 6.7 cummins & AS69RC Aisin HD transmission (If possible one that is already modified under the hood). My 2015 did 295k miles then I stupidly blew up the motor because of dumb modifications. After putting a used engine in, I drove it till 500k.
Best truck: Doesn't exist lol but
2025 Ram with 8 speed solves all my frustrations with the 4th gens. and the fuel pump probs.
2025 Chevy has 18 inch dually wheels. 18 inch tires last way longer that normal 17s
2025 Ford has the best tech. My 2020 ford transit I can lock, unlock, & start with my phone app, also Ford CEO is pretty cool
I just dropped 10 stacks on my RAM but everyone go buy RAM.....🤦🏼♂️
