Great video. What is the gear ratio? Also, is there an extended cab version of the truck to have at least 24" behind the seat so it makes a DOT legal sleeper cab?
Nik, thank you for watching! The standard gear ratio is 5.57 but you can option for 4.88 if you choose. If you run mainly flat ground, the 4.88 would be the one you would favor. Concerning the room behind the cab... they currently do not have a deeper extended cab. I was not aware that DOT has a minimum requirement for a DOT regulation for a sleeper, so for that I thank you! The cab does have a track in the ceiling that could be used for a privacy curtain though, but that is not advertised. With your provided info, now I know why. Thanks.
They're just now getting the 6.7 cummins that been in the ram trucks and freightliners for years? That part is not impressive. Everything else I do like about that truck.
The FTR has a lot of company running the Cummins B6.7 motor… Mack MD’s, Hino L6 and L7, International 4300, and Freightliner M2. With our emission levels we continue to have to meet, Cummins is one of the few remaining standing. It takes too much R&D money to invest in the designs of these engines with the constant level changes. Also the reason we are seeing the push to EV’s. At least if the EV’s stop working we can use Cummins diesel generators to charge them.
You said it's under CDL limit but if you put a box on it it will be over and if it's not over by then, you won't be able to carry a big enough load to make money cause you'll be over 26,000lbs.
The GVWR of the chassis is 25,950 lbs total laden weight. The dry ship weight from factory is 10,492 lbs. I normally add 1,000 lbs to the dry weight to cover when fluids are added, etc. Most applications you will be around 10,000 lbs of payload by the time you add a body. I can't state exact since every body application weights are different. So most applications you'll be able to haul around 10,000 lbs give or take on this truck under CDL. The only application that would limit your hauling weight would be like a rear loader, but you wouldn't run that on this truck since it's it's not the right tranny for that application. So 25,950gvwr is your total laden/hauling weight with body, driver, fuel, and co-worker in the cab. If you go across a scale and you're over that amount you can get a ticket.
@@rrtruckcenters I've been looking at it all wrong. I thought GVWR is the weight the truck is at NOT INCLUDING THE LOAD on the back. Cause I was thinking to myself, "Why would someone that doesn't have a CDL buy a vehicle that weighs 25,950 and it's 50 lbs from being over weight" lol cause then that would leave them 50lb limit of freight.
@@beezytalkingshit9319 that's funny. But I can see why you would think people are dumb. If you look at my truck I limit my self by de rating to 25,950gvw however if I'm over ( witch I do) sometimes I come in at 29k it's not a big deal. I would get nailed by the d.o.tbut as far as the truck it's just a # game for the government. The axel are 12k front and a 21 rear but 23k suspension so I'm not anywhere near hurting the truck because it's really a 33k truck with a different sticker

Nice truck
Fantastic truck
It sure is!
@@rrtruckcenters I'd buy one. Saw it at the 2024 Toronto International Truck Show.
Wow you get the POV model in the U.S

Yesi just bought a 2023 ftr I haven't measured it but it's pretty big I'd say close to 24. There's a track in the ceiling for a curtain.

No it's not the 6.7 that's in the ram
Will this truck cruise comfortably at freeway speed?
Yes, but you might favor the 5.29 gearing for faster speed and lower RPM's.
@@rrtruckcentersс передаточным 5.29 он сможет ездить только очень медленно. Нужно, хотя бы 4,1

@@beezytalkingshit9319 sounds like you're on track now. GVWR= total hauling weight with load, driver, and fuel.
