    Excellent! -- QUESTION -- You were about to say that your MPG would be better on the highway but you changed conversation. Can you tell what your mpg would be on highway at 55 mph and at 50 mph? Would love to know that as most people give the MPG at 75 and I was told that there would be a huge difference. What about with the 3:55 gears.. any idea what the mpg would be at those spreads? Thanks a lot!

    Very nice truck. I followed you very closely when you went from the diesel to the 7.3L. I ended up ordering my '21 F350 XLT with a 7.3l gasser. NO REGRET's ! I was going to get a F250 but could not get it with a 3.73 rear. My options were 3.55 or 4.30. For $1700 I went to the F350 & gained 1k# load cap & 3.73. Well worth the $$$ Since 90% of my miles are towing a 8400# tt I'm really glad I did. I've had the 3.55 before. Empty it was fine, but towing it was just not working for me. Nut for nut; bolt for bolt F250 vs F350 are identical except the overload spring & rear gear option. I installed wheel well liners, shorty antenna, dampening strut to the tailgate, Weather teck's..

The 6.2 was ok, but could really tell there was a heavy camper behind it in the mountains of WV. Hoping the 7.3 and 10 speed make it better. (Camper is 34’ and 8500lbs) so within 6.2 territory.

I've owned a 2022 F-250 7.3L Lariat w/ 10R140 and now a '24 GMC 2500HD AT4 w/ Allison 10L1000.

Both also had a problem with changing radio stations on their own. The 22 has a random problem with the bluetooth connection and my phone. Often incoming phone calls are so scratchy sounding I have to hang up and call the person back. Seems like each time Ford does an over the air update to the system new issues arise. Both pickups were back to the shop over these issues but were never fixed. It is aggravating but still hoping Ford gets the software issues fixed as I have a 23 F-150 ordered. Good luck with yours.

    That screen is one of the main things that made me get rid of our platinum f150. It did the same thing you’re getting, holding down the power and fast forward will reset it sometimes I’d do it 2 times in a day. The last straw was when it somehow forgot I had a trailer attached after pulling away from a rest stop, and had a chair fall of from camper in front of us went to brake and swerve and where were my brakes? I had no trailer brakes.
    Few weeks later it happened again pulling out of storage, had done the whole set up screen froze and no trailer brakes pulling up to a light 55mph. Reset the screen and it was fine. Traded it in following weekend. 😅

  • @JohnSmith-ev1sm
    @JohnSmith-ev1sm Год назад +5

    There is no AI with the parking brake; whenever you use the zoom for the trailer view, the truck knows at that point you're trying to hitch up and applies the parking brake. That's nice, but ideally the parking brake would apply every time you drop into park regardless of hooking up or not. You're stopping, in park, truck can't/shouldn't move anyway, just apply the brake automatically. My ram works that way though it can be turned off I don't see why somebody wouldn't want it to auto apply. I've used handbrakes and parking brakes every time I park (like we're supposed to) for like 30 years now so having it automatically set instead is just one less thing to think about.

      3. Many of the videos I do with the freebies are simply to introduce you guys to a new, quality product. Everyone's tastes and preferences are different. I don't want to limit the channel to only things I find useful. If its good quality at a fair price I am happy to introduce it.

    Great video, I have a 2022 f-150 and has the same problem with my screen since I picked it up, screen rebooting pretty much every time I start it ,as well as the radio keeps turning itself off. Just got my regular service today and mentioned it again so they’ve done a bunch of updates to the modules I guess. They said if this doesn’t work the next step would be to replace the needed module.

    I'm just ordering my 2024 F350. Still on the fence about the 6.7 or the 7.3. And since I'm going with the Tremor I'm locked into the 3.55 gears for the 6.7 or the 4.30 gears for the 7.3. I have to decide soon. What did you not like about your 6.7 vs your 7.3?

      Great question. I was tired of worrying about “limp mode”, failing EPA required parts, the drama over diesel prices, waiting on diesel pumps to become available. DEF, insane repair bills, and knowing I paid $10k extra for something I did not need.

    New truck prices are insane... if your using it for a daily driver, the mpg just seems insane horrible. very nice truck though. My 6.7 I drive daily can get 17-18 in town, then 23-24 on the interstate unloaded. but the prices on all of them are just ridiculous, I believe FORD is intentionally marking this stuff up to subsidize their electric. I don't think the chip shortage is as legit as they claim.

      A few months ago, was reading it and found out it had the 10kGVRW upgrade, 4.30 axles which make this a 15K max towing capacity truck. I was under wrong impression it had the 3.73 axles. So is like getting an upgraded truck without $ out of pocket! It only has 30k driven miles and looks like new, even though sleep exposed to the sun.
