I have the same truck but with Lariat trim. It is my everyday driver and I love it. I ordered it first part of December and it came in near the end of May. I did get it to tow a 33 foot 5th wheel and it pulls it beautifully. The wife still won’t drive it because of the size so that’s another pro.
I work from home, but F350 Lariat is my daily driver to the store and dog parks. Just a great ride. Safety is another reason I bought it too. In central Oregon, we tend to have lots of head on collisions, the bigger vehicle wins.
6.7 ft bed? I guess that's fine if you aren't using the truck to haul anything substantial. But a contractor needs an 8ft bed to be able to load up the lumber and close the gate. Sure parking is a bit tricky sometimes, but you learn how to find the spots and the outer ends of the lots. So what if you have to walk a few more feet, just drop off the wifey by the door and park. The added bonus to that is, not a lot of people park out there, so less chances of door dings.
I’m a contractor. Looking at a job site right now. It’s a mix of 1-ton long and short bed trucks literally every make and model represented. Interesting in the fact that most of these sub contractors are pulling 16-20’ trailer. When I look in their beds, it’s usually partially full of stuff but not one piece I of that stuff requires an 8’ bed. We live in an entitled, opinionated, litigious society today in the USA. I’m almost 60. I grew up in agriculture Christian community, everyone went to church and yes, there were some gossip and in fighting. But no one sued and people saw accidents as well accidents. I still follow the general rule, never sue or threaten legal action unless there is obvious malace and premeditated criminal action against me or my family. The whole point of the little rant is….. most people could get buy with a crew cab 6.5’ bed F-150 even pulling a 20’ trailer. Why? Today’s F-150 is heavier than the 2000 F-350…. It has larger brakes, better anti-sway and trailer safety features…. It has stability controls….. it has more horse power, torque and often as low gearing with a 10-speed transmission than most 1-ton F-350’s prior to 2005! If we take a max trailer F-150 crew cab Hybrid add low range E Michelins, and a set of airbag load springs… I guarantee the F-150 will outperform every single F-250/350 mare prior to 2008. The area it will fall short is on main bearings, axle and wheel bearings, u-joints etc. That being said, don’t abuse it and the f150 will have no problem pulling a 15,000 lbs trailer……. THAT IS, UNTIL somone hits you or you hit them in an accident. As a mater of fact there are organized crime groups from S of the boarder who target people pulling heavy trailers. The cause and accident, claim it was the truck drivers fault, provide a seemingly unbiased witness in another car and next thing you know, your being sued for everything you own. So the if you tow, make sure you are towing within your limits AND have a forward and rearward looking camera that is recording. Great review! I agree with you. Beautiful truck, I’m envious :)

Yup. Couldn’t agree more. I have the F250 Lariat trim level 6.7L with the same size bed. Daily driven. Don’t have a trailer to pull yet, but that was the reason for getting it. Don’t regret it one bit. Love the truck. It feels and drives like a truck which, to me, is a pro not a con. I’ve driven it on long road trips and it’s just a comfortable joy to drive. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
I use my 2015 F350 as a daily driver. 8' bed and terrible turning circle make it sometimes difficult to park in regular spots, but love the power and towing.
Thanks for heads up especially the towing. I am looking now. Love the RAM cummins had a 2016 3500 megacab Limited dually with the aisin trans and was solid rig, but the FORDS do look appealing, but overall towing has gone well for you so far? Stay Strong!!
I agree with pretty much everything you said.. I ordered my F350 King Ranch 6.7L last year .. got it 2 weeks ago… but oh man… I love it. So far it was worth the wait.
I used to daily a 99 crew cab 8' box 7.3. It was cool and roomy. My kids are now grown. I now have a 150 but I honestly prefer to daily drive my beater 98 Dakota extended cab 2wd. It's comfy, full frame, and I don't worry about it🙂 99% of the time it's just me in the truck these days.
Salesman told me if I had decided to not take possession of my Tremor they would mark it up 10k and have it sold that day. Not sure if he was serious or not but just glad they honored the msrp price I ordered it at.
The difference between driving these trucks with and without a load is huge. They drive so much better with a load, either in or behind them. Heck, even in my 1500, I typically have some sort of load in my bead, and when I don't have one for a specific job, I'll usually throw some lumber in the bed. It doesn't effect MPG's all that much either, and the payoff is the ride/handling improvement.
Had one and sold it to pay hospital bills that Covid left me with. As a ventilator survivor, I will get another some day soon. It was my daily and wouldn’t trade it for any other vehicle. 16 months later, still can’t work from the carnage the virus left my body with. But, hey, I’m with my family… even though it’s without my superduty
Sucks about the truck but you have what can't be replaced I lost 2 uncles to that virus and have had it myself, another truck will come along for sure best of luck and thank you for watching
I don't daily drive my 21 F350 Limited because I commute 60 miles each way, but I usually will reserve Fridays for that and weekends. I do that mostly to keep the miles off of it, so I have a Mach E for the commute.......and that makes the Diesel bill so much easier to manage. Nice truck!! Love your wheels too. I went from a Raptor to the 1 ton
So currently I have a 2017 Lincoln Navigator L Reserve.... I have never owned a diesel in my life and I'm going to be buying a used 2021 or 2022 F-350 limited with the 6.7 L diesel and I was wondering coming from gas my entire life am I going to be in a rude awakening for the amount of upkeep and how bad is the expense going to be and to top it off it will not be my daily driver it's more of a weekend truck...... I only drive it roughly 5,000 miles a year but I wanted to get it because I am a 20-year Master Plumber I own my own plumbing company and I have a 14000 lb trailer that can be used for construction equipment...... but to sum it up am I going to be in a world of shit with the upkeep and the expense I already know diesel is expensive what's your thoughts thanks
Mine is not a diesel 7.3 gas its my daily. I live in the country so parking is not much of a issue. It drinks a lush. But I knew that going in just didn't expect to pay so much for a gallon doesn't stop me from using it. It tows great and that's why I got it.
7.3 may use little more gas, but isn't diesel $1 more per gallon? And with no Def fluid and fuel filter change, you may make all that back and more. :)
I got a ‘22 7.3 with 4.30 gears. Tows my 34’ fifth wheel decently but at 6mpg. I’m already considering trading it and ordering a 6.7. A. Much better fuel mileage B. Being able to use the diesel truck lanes for fueling Maneuvering through tiny gas stations is such a pain in the butt
I have a 2022 F350 Lariat. Looks similar to yours except for the color. It's also a diesel with FX4 package and is pretty well loaded. I had originally ordered an F250 but changed my mind and got the F350 instead. I picked it up from the dealer in Jan and paid the X-plan price. The dealership sold the F250 that I had ordered in 30 minutes. They said they could have done the same with my F350. So far I love it. It's not my daily driver.....that's a 2002 Ford Ranger. I'm just trying not to put too many miles on the new truck. The big diesel actually gets better mileage than the Ranger.
I purchased a 22 F-350 XLT crew cab long bed Fx4 6.7 I love it and daily drive with it, about 80% of the time I have my trailer hooked up. I’m a contractor so basically trailer is shop on wheels for me.
I am blessed to have 2019 F250 6.7 Platinum, it now has 70,000 miles. It has the Camper Special package, 1 ton diff and overload spring. I added Firestone air bags and pull a 35 foot 5th wheel. Don’t even feel it back there and I live in the southwest. Amazing truck. I feel that the door GVWR sticker should reflect the added capacity of the option. Just sayin’.
Thanks for this video! Looking to buy an F-250 KR and was questioning if I needed it because I only tow my 20' boat twice a year, but I guess my one good reason for wanting it is that I just want it, damnit! Good enough reason for me. I want a Swiss Army Knife of a vehicle and that should be able to do it all, from hunting in the backwoods of NE to the 4 hour trips it takes to get there.
Nice info but you should mention on super duty pick ups with a Diesel engine is make sure your dealership has a certified mechanic or a small shop that does diesels to work on in your area . Not all new dealerships have that service . Here in Canada 🇨🇦 only diesel mechanics can touch them and not gasoline engine mechanics. I’m sure the rules apply in the states also.Correct me if I’m wrong on that.
Yup the dealer here has a truck center that does all the F250 plus trucks and are diesel certified, Plus I am a Journeyman Auto and HD tech from my time working in Canada
I daily drive 2021 SD PLATINUM TREMOR AND I LOVE IT! I just hate that after I got it someone rear ended me over. 10lk in damage. BUT WE WERE SAFE IN THIS BEAST! AWESOME TRUCK
6.7s built completely by ford no Navistar involvement as 7 3, 6 0, 6 4, where. After the 1 fuel rail inured to bogle was fixed there a strong bullet proof model. Especially the coolant line run to the turbo !
I have a 21 F350 Limited, I drive it everyday and across the country. It's a very comfortable long distance driver. I just wish I had a shop I could go to for mods in Central California. THey don't know trucks here.
I daily drive my 2020 F250 Lariat and have 60k miles with 24 months of ownership. So far it has been rock solid and I agree with your pros and cons. There is more on the maintenance side and I follow ARod’s advice as well, good dude. I just really enjoy the size, safety and power/capabilities of this beast. I do miss my massaging seats from 2017 F150 Platinum but that is all I miss about it and the 3.5 Ecoboost with its cam phaser issues. Good video and keep up the good work.
@@regiprothro4766 yes I do have the 6.7 PS and I get about 18-19 MPG combined with most of it highway driving. I would say about 85% HWY and 15% city. I use a fuel additive on every fill-up.
I absolutely would drive it every day. I had a 2002 ford F-350 crew cab long bed for 19 years and i drove it every day. Until February 18 2021 when some one stole it right out of my driveway. It only had 160000 k on it.So on January 17 2022 I ordered a new 22 ford f-350 platinum and I'm still waiting ? 8 1/2 months so far.
Are you still waiting? That is a long time. I am waiting for Ford to open up the order book for 2023 in mid Oct. I am planning to order 2023 F350 SRW LB 7.3 with 3.73
For my lifestyle having a 3/4 ton truck is an absolute necessity. The fact that it’s a diesel is also very important so I can haul what I need to. I just built my own shop myself and I know for a fact it would not have been possible without my truck. You never know when you have to move a piece of equipment or pull out something heavy and a big truck just makes it happen. I know my next truck will also be a 3/4 ton 100 percent. For some not required but I couldn’t live without it and looks like same for you.
Beautiful truck! I have the exact same truck but with the stock tires and wheels since I tow a 40’ Momentum Toyhauler. Looking at yours gives me “the bug” to lift and upgrade tires and wheels!
What a beautiful truck!!! What size tires are those and what height leveling kit do you have on it? Also, are those fuel wheels? Had a set on my F150 and looking for a nice set to put on my F350.
I drive every day like constantly. I don’t pull a lot of heavy stuff here and there, but I literally out driving 12 hours a day. I have a gas and I’m switching over to a diesel because I think they do better on fuel mileage especially when you constantly driving it I have a gas truck too, but that thing eats too much fuel
I have one considering selling it. However I love it at the same time. I feel like I got a good deal on it considering all the info I got off the internet. Stx model cloth seats no sunroof and I’m sure a few other due dads.. but I got it for 58k. 63k out the door. It so nice but I’m torn.. haha
The biggest con by far has yet to rear its ugly head(with the diesel) long term emmission maintenaince, injectors and turbos. Big $$$ replacements after the warranty is out
I traded a 2019 super duty 6 2 in for a2022 ranger tremor time al paper work was done I got a check for $ 5,100 and the ranger was paid for no money down the dealer gave me 52,000$ for my super duty never expected that much for a used truck
In am considering this truck in a lariat as a daily driver.i tow a 16 foot utility trailer with some side x sides…nothing crazy. I love the diesel but i get nervous with some of the stories with fuel pump, emission issues and some others. I’m can’t fix it myself so I do get nervous at 85K. What are some of everyone’s thoughts?? I have a tundra which is very reliable
I just bought a 22 lariat and the Android Auto freezes at least once every time I drive it. Do you all have any suggestions? Are you having this issue? Thanks!
Probably something that can be rectified with the next update mine was changing my radio station last time I drove it maybe that will be fixed too hopefully
Not sure where you live, but if your gas prices are that high, you might want to think about moving.. Whatever your state is doing, it's doing it wrong.
99k truck needs Upgrades now ... Lose the Fuel wheels , everyone & their sister has them ,karli suspension, MORIMOTO HEADLIGHTS are 10x brighter and don't turn pinkish like the oems'. THAT DIESEL NEEDS Tunes ,cai and BORLA EXHAUST. AND STOP LYING ABOUT THE STIFF LOSE UR TEETH RIDE .
@@PoolEnvy no shit. I make well above the average wage and still can’t grasp how people afford these new trucks. I guess the major debt doesn’t bother you.
Cant wait to hear all the cry baby's using these diesels as commuter cars . These diesel trucks needs to pull heavy to maintain there emission crap. IF its not used for towing heavy good luck and see you on the forums crying how much money you have to spend on the repairs and cant afford the repair bill plus the monthly payment . I own my 19 6.7 paid cash no payments. Did not buy it for other than to tow 15k, I am waiting for that inevitable non warranted part to grenade on me and cost me some more cash, since warranty wont cover it. This is why all the diesel fan boys are now getting converted to that 7.3 gas engine and making videos on how great the 7.3 tows their laughable 10k trailer up 6% grades with no problems🤣🤣🤣🙄
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA Not in your neck of the woods maybe, but in mine I ask the service advisors and all chimed in the same thing. Alterations will void the factory and extended warranty. Does not matter if its a part that will prevent a disaster to the fuel system. Not a Factory part so you still flip the bill to put it back to stock. Then you gotta pay again to put another aftermarket part back in like you had it. Now maybe afterward the warranty is out, then buy all means S&S is a no brainer!🤙They got us coming and going😡
@@robertbarcus1963 Yeah when a RUclipsr Ford tech has it and still has his warranty I feel safe getting one service writers are almost as big of losers as the salesman in most cases not all but knowledge isn't their strong suit or the law with warranty, failure has to be the direct cause of the aftermarket part plus I would way rather pay for a 1200$ cp4 than have all my injectors and lines and fuel tank have to be replaced just my opinion.
I have the same truck but with Lariat trim. It is my everyday driver and I love it. I ordered it first part of December and it came in near the end of May. I did get it to tow a 33 foot 5th wheel and it pulls it beautifully. The wife still won’t drive it because of the size so that’s another pro.

Truth
Does it fit in parking lots
I just got a 22 lariat ultimate f350 long bed and have put 1,500 miles in 7 days and towed 3 different trailers. These trucks are awesome !!!
6.7 ft bed? I guess that's fine if you aren't using the truck to haul anything substantial. But a contractor needs an 8ft bed to be able to load up the lumber and close the gate.

I’m a contractor. Looking at a job site right now. It’s a mix of 1-ton long and short bed trucks literally every make and model represented. Interesting in the fact that most of these sub contractors are pulling 16-20’ trailer. When I look in their beds, it’s usually partially full of stuff but not one piece I of that stuff requires an 8’ bed.
We live in an entitled, opinionated, litigious society today in the USA. I’m almost 60. I grew up in agriculture Christian community, everyone went to church and yes, there were some gossip and in fighting. But no one sued and people saw accidents as well accidents. I still follow the general rule, never sue or threaten legal action unless there is obvious malace and premeditated criminal action against me or my family. The whole point of the little rant is….. most people could get buy with a crew cab 6.5’ bed F-150 even pulling a 20’ trailer. Why? Today’s F-150 is heavier than the 2000 F-350…. It has larger brakes, better anti-sway and trailer safety features…. It has stability controls….. it has more horse power, torque and often as low gearing with a 10-speed transmission than most 1-ton F-350’s prior to 2005!
If we take a max trailer F-150 crew cab Hybrid add low range E Michelins, and a set of airbag load springs… I guarantee the F-150 will outperform every single F-250/350 mare prior to 2008. The area it will fall short is on main bearings, axle and wheel bearings, u-joints etc. That being said, don’t abuse it and the f150 will have no problem pulling a 15,000 lbs trailer……. THAT IS, UNTIL somone hits you or you hit them in an accident. As a mater of fact there are organized crime groups from S of the boarder who target people pulling heavy trailers. The cause and accident, claim it was the truck drivers fault, provide a seemingly unbiased witness in another car and next thing you know, your being sued for everything you own. So the if you tow, make sure you are towing within your limits AND have a forward and rearward looking camera that is recording.
Great review! I agree with you. Beautiful truck, I’m envious :)

I purchased a 22 F-350 XLT crew cab long bed Fx4 6.7
I love it and daily drive with it, about 80% of the time I have my trailer hooked up. I’m a contractor so basically trailer is shop on wheels for me.
I have a 2022 KR f250 6.7L and absolutely love it and I do drive it everyday. Would be a waste not to.
SD tremor HO here.. and yes .. all of its glorious largeness in the city of Philadelphia… nice work on vid…
I got a 22 platinum 350 and i daily drive it.
Once you get used to the truck you are fine
Beautiful truck man. I regret getting my 21 rebel. Put the wheels on it and everything. But now I want a f350
I love my Rebel for most daily stuff but the super duty is a big rig 🚛
I am blessed to have 2019 F250 6.7 Platinum, it now has 70,000 miles. It has the Camper Special package, 1 ton diff and overload spring. I added Firestone air bags and pull a 35 foot 5th wheel. Don’t even feel it back there and I live in the southwest. Amazing truck. I feel that the door GVWR sticker should reflect the added capacity of the option. Just sayin’.
Thanks for this video! Looking to buy an F-250 KR and was questioning if I needed it because I only tow my 20' boat twice a year, but I guess my one good reason for wanting it is that I just want it, damnit! Good enough reason for me. I want a Swiss Army Knife of a vehicle and that should be able to do it all, from hunting in the backwoods of NE to the 4 hour trips it takes to get there.
Diesel is so much fun if you maintain it which isn’t that bad
Nice info but you should mention on super duty pick ups with a Diesel engine is make sure your dealership has a certified mechanic or a small shop that does diesels to work on in your area . Not all new dealerships have that service . Here in Canada 🇨🇦 only diesel mechanics can touch them and not gasoline engine mechanics. I’m sure the rules apply in the states also.Correct me if I’m wrong on that.
Yup the dealer here has a truck center that does all the F250 plus trucks and are diesel certified, Plus I am a Journeyman Auto and HD tech from my time working in Canada
I have older 2012 f350 lariat pkg 6.7 I pull 42’ 5th wheel. Love love my truck. It’s daily driver 265k miles runs like new
What mods have you done that's amazing
I daily drive 2021 SD PLATINUM TREMOR
AND I LOVE IT!
I just hate that after I got it someone rear ended me over. 10lk in damage.
BUT WE WERE SAFE IN THIS BEAST! AWESOME TRUCK
I destroyed my Platinum tailgate backing into my 5th wheel. $5000.00 parts plus paint, ouch.
6.7s built completely by ford no Navistar involvement as 7 3, 6 0, 6 4, where. After the 1 fuel rail inured to bogle was fixed there a strong bullet proof model. Especially the coolant line run to the turbo !
If you want to have a better ride you should try Sulastic shackles . I put them on my F250 and it is night and day difference in ride comfort.
stupid question, but what are the sulastic shackles and whats ball park on price for everything?
I have a 21 F350 Limited, I drive it everyday and across the country. It's a very comfortable long distance driver. I just wish I had a shop I could go to for mods in Central California. THey don't know trucks here.
@Hammerdown Motorsports If you tow a lot you should make a towing video!
I daily drive my 2020 F250 Lariat and have 60k miles with 24 months of ownership. So far it has been rock solid and I agree with your pros and cons. There is more on the maintenance side and I follow ARod’s advice as well, good dude. I just really enjoy the size, safety and power/capabilities of this beast. I do miss my massaging seats from 2017 F150 Platinum but that is all I miss about it and the 3.5 Ecoboost with its cam phaser issues. Good video and keep up the good work.
Appreciate it yeah I have daily drive mine the last week it’s pretty enjoyable except the full up cost but it’s a dang rocket
Hello Chad, quick question. Do you have a diesel and if so, what do you average mpgs? I'm looking to use mine as a daily driver as well.
@@regiprothro4766 yes I do have the 6.7 PS and I get about 18-19 MPG combined with most of it highway driving. I would say about 85% HWY and 15% city. I use a fuel additive on every fill-up.
I absolutely would drive it every day. I had a 2002 ford F-350 crew cab long bed for 19 years and i drove it every day. Until February 18 2021 when some one stole it right out of my driveway. It only had 160000 k on it.So on January 17 2022 I ordered a new 22 ford f-350 platinum and I'm still waiting ? 8 1/2 months so far.
Are you still waiting? That is a long time. I am waiting for Ford to open up the order book for 2023 in mid Oct. I am planning to order 2023 F350 SRW LB 7.3 with 3.73
Wow, mine took 7 months
7.3 daily driver safest vehicle on the road
For my lifestyle having a 3/4 ton truck is an absolute necessity. The fact that it’s a diesel is also very important so I can haul what I need to. I just built my own shop myself and I know for a fact it would not have been possible without my truck. You never know when you have to move a piece of equipment or pull out something heavy and a big truck just makes it happen. I know my next truck will also be a 3/4 ton 100 percent. For some not required but I couldn’t live without it and looks like same for you.
You must have money to 🔥
Chemical engineering Or gramps passed away
Beautiful truck! I have the exact same truck but with the stock tires and wheels since I tow a 40’ Momentum Toyhauler. Looking at yours gives me “the bug” to lift and upgrade tires and wheels!
Thank u brother Lee up the fantastic work ! 🇺🇸👋🏽🎉👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽
Derive mine every day! Mine is the XLT crew w/8’
What a beautiful truck!!! What size tires are those and what height leveling kit do you have on it? Also, are those fuel wheels? Had a set on my F150 and looking for a nice set to put on my F350.
I drive every day like constantly. I don’t pull a lot of heavy stuff here and there, but I literally out driving 12 hours a day. I have a gas and I’m switching over to a diesel because I think they do better on fuel mileage especially when you constantly driving it I have a gas truck too, but that thing eats too much fuel
Daily drive my 17 f250 kr ppwerstroke. If i take something else in the morning my wife ends up driving it everywhere too. 😅🎉
Beautiful truck and great video. :)
my 2022 f350 platinum is my daily driver. love it so much. diesel is high here in TX (4.50) but not as high where you’re at.
love the channel
much appreciated
How much more is diesel than gas at near your town?
@@wj2791 75 cents ish
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA In Texas, it is $1 difference
I always find diesel from 3.00-3.50/gal. In Colorado.
10months ago diesel was higher
I have one considering selling it. However I love it at the same time. I feel like I got a good deal on it considering all the info I got off the internet. Stx model cloth seats no sunroof and I’m sure a few other due dads.. but I got it for 58k. 63k out the door.
It so nice but I’m torn.. haha
The biggest con by far has yet to rear its ugly head(with the diesel) long term emmission maintenaince, injectors and turbos. Big $$$ replacements after the warranty is out
great video...I daily drive a 2018 F250 Lariat. Where do I find A Rod you mentioned??
Powerstroke Tech Talk W/ ARod RUclips channel he’s got a ton of knowledge on these things
Thanks…I will look him up.
I traded a 2019 super duty 6 2 in for a2022 ranger tremor time al paper work was done I got a check for $ 5,100 and the ranger was paid for no money down the dealer gave me 52,000$ for my super duty never expected that much for a used truck
In am considering this truck in a lariat as a daily driver.i tow a 16 foot utility trailer with some side x sides…nothing crazy. I love the diesel but i get nervous with some of the stories with fuel pump, emission issues and some others. I’m can’t fix it myself so I do get nervous at 85K. What are some of everyone’s thoughts?? I have a tundra which is very reliable
Great info
Daily 2020 Limited
You definitely got lucky getting one that was for inventory…. Needle in a haystack
Absolutely I’m super glad knowing what I know now
I just bought a 22 lariat and the Android Auto freezes at least once every time I drive it. Do you all have any suggestions? Are you having this issue? Thanks!
Probably something that can be rectified with the next update mine was changing my radio station last time I drove it maybe that will be fixed too hopefully
Not sure where you live, but if your gas prices are that high, you might want to think about moving.. Whatever your state is doing, it's doing it wrong.
Yeah easier said than done it has come down now at least
You have perfect shop. Like your shop more than truck.
lol appreciate it
2022 every day
What size wheels and tires are you running?
20 inch wheels 35 12.50 tires
Dude, how big are you!? Make that truck look Normal size! Like my bank account. Lol I’ll get one some day.
Lol 6 foot
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA lol okay looks like 6’8” and like 290. Lol great video
Take that for a ride through the Northeast and you will need a back brace lol.
🔥🔥
I dont care about ride, i will stop going to gym
lol now they can’t get rid of this trucks. Only in 2 years everything is flipped!
15k over msrp WTF!!!
Not me
99k truck needs Upgrades now ... Lose the Fuel wheels , everyone & their sister has them ,karli suspension, MORIMOTO HEADLIGHTS are 10x brighter and don't turn pinkish like the oems'. THAT DIESEL NEEDS Tunes ,cai and BORLA EXHAUST. AND STOP LYING ABOUT THE STIFF LOSE UR TEETH RIDE .
Lol it’s meant for towing not driving around to the store
I just got a 22 3500hd high country…. I’ll be driving it to stores, cheer practice, and competitions. ❤
How the hell do people afford these damn trucks! 🤷♂️
They are steep I traded my old one on it
I am using mine for hotshot trucking so make alot to and make the payment and put more towards principle
Work.
@@PoolEnvy no shit. I make well above the average wage and still can’t grasp how people afford these new trucks. I guess the major debt doesn’t bother you.
Cant wait to hear all the cry baby's using these diesels as commuter cars . These diesel trucks needs to pull heavy to maintain there emission crap. IF its not used for towing heavy good luck and see you on the forums crying how much money you have to spend on the repairs and cant afford the repair bill plus the monthly payment . I own my 19 6.7 paid cash no payments. Did not buy it for other than to tow 15k, I am waiting for that inevitable non warranted part to grenade on me and cost me some more cash, since warranty wont cover it. This is why all the diesel fan boys are now getting converted to that 7.3 gas engine and making videos on how great the 7.3 tows their laughable 10k trailer up 6% grades with no problems🤣🤣🤣🙄
S&S disaster prevention kit
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA Not in your neck of the woods maybe, but in mine I ask the service advisors and all chimed in the same thing. Alterations will void the factory and extended warranty. Does not matter if its a part that will prevent a disaster to the fuel system. Not a Factory part so you still flip the bill to put it back to stock. Then you gotta pay again to put another aftermarket part back in like you had it. Now maybe afterward the warranty is out, then buy all means S&S is a no brainer!🤙They got us coming and going😡
@@robertbarcus1963 Yeah when a RUclipsr Ford tech has it and still has his warranty I feel safe getting one service writers are almost as big of losers as the salesman in most cases not all but knowledge isn't their strong suit or the law with warranty, failure has to be the direct cause of the aftermarket part plus I would way rather pay for a 1200$ cp4 than have all my injectors and lines and fuel tank have to be replaced just my opinion.
2022 King Ranch daily driver. 28kmiles now
AROD should change he's name to FROD. And if he decides to not change to FROD then he should just change it to NIMROD!😁.......😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have the same truck but with Lariat trim. It is my everyday driver and I love it. I ordered it first part of December and it came in near the end of May. I did get it to tow a 33 foot 5th wheel and it pulls it beautifully. The wife still won’t drive it because of the size so that’s another pro.
