Every Ford truck I have ever had has been able to delete the seatbelt notification. My ‘02, ‘05 F150 my ‘10 F250 and my current 2000 Excursion all had the ability to silence the seatbelt notification. That feature and the code to unlock the doors is the reason I only buy Ford trucks.
Honestly you don’t realize how nice that code unlock is until you own a vehicle with it! Can’t count the amount of times I’ve stupidly locked my key in my 2009 MKX. Simply input the code and you’re in. Also very convenient to purposely lock your key in your car for the random situations where it’s smarter to do so.
@@Alborn30 My ‘02 F159 didn’t have the keypad to unlock the door and I lost my keys riding my quad. If I had the keypad I would have just locked the keys in the truck. It was that day I decided I would never have a truck without it.
Ford deserves every sale in the world just for how easy it is to turn off the seat belt minder 💯
And securicode is amazing, I give it to friends and neighbors all the time to get stuff out of the truck.
The more tech less reliability over time Congratz great dealership. Marketing video
After owning 2 excursions with click the seat belt button to shut off the dinger, my expedition won’t do it and that is annoying.
I used to think the same thing about that tailgate step. I lost a leg in a hit and run motorcycle accident a few months ago. Gives me a whole lot more love for that step! Can't lift my prosthetic up high enough without it.
The Tremor is a really nice looking truck with a lot of great features... but it will rock your pocketbook like a 8.0 tremor. Can't justify spending $100k on a pickup.
John Ross, you are Ford's Salesman of the Year!!! Next video will show you as a Ford Salesman for a local dealership. Nobody does it better explaining the Ford's features with flair. Go JR!!!
Andrew Flair wasn't in this video?
We need some Ric Flair!!! Whooooooo!
I’ll bring some of that Ric Flair drip 😎

“Giant plastic piece”. Best way to sum up all new vehicles. 😂😂
And not just trim inside, it's all over the engine too.
Crumple zones bro
These Super Duty’s are awesome. If you don’t own one you don’t know how really good they are.
As a 60 year old with hip arthritis, I use the tail gate step almost daily.
John Ross loves all this technology on the truck. How long before he walks around wearing that apple vision?
My only criticism is him saying people 50-60 years old may not understand the tech . Other than that, what a great review, Ford should be happier with you than it was with Hoovie lol
Agree. I create Android/iOS for a living in my late 50's. Been in tech since I've been 14. I guess when your JR's age though people my age seem old and out of touch. I probably thought the same at his age.
Yes JR, one day you too will be 60 years old and hate to jump into the back end of a truck. It goes by faster than you think. So leave the step alone 😂
And this will never be used for anything other than Walmart and target, no truck is worth 100k no ram ford or GM truck
Let’s be honest. The primary reason people buy trucks like this is for bragging rights and for show. This truck could be unusable as a truck and people would still buy it.
@@brian5o I think it’s ugly as hell too, I like the RAM but I’m not paying that for a LDS
You can say that about most sportcars, supercars, etc. Most owners wont track them ever. Most will rarely even go over 110 Mph. The companies make these vehicles for people to actually use their capabilities, people just choose not to. Even with Wranglers, Broncos, and 4Runners, most owners will NEVER off road them. But they COULD if they wanted to
@@BossDogg14 every super car owner I’ve seen uses it for its intend purpose, and most jeeps go off road all the time, broncos, slow runners, and this will be parked at target bc a women drives it
Wrong. ‘But even when they are used for that…..so what?! I’m happy for folks that have these. They are fantastic!
Honestly, and this comes from a guy who works in technology, this truck is the poster child for everything that is wrong with modern cars.Too much fluff, too much completely unnecessary garbage. A truck should be a truck and should have no features outside of basic things. Its really just pointless. And trucks are WAY too big and tall nowadays. Its absolutely ridiculous. Everyone has their thing, but this kind of vehicle is virtually everything I hate about modern cars and trucks.
Agreed! And I call all that fluff “made to break “ and it won’t be cheap to fix, all you need in a truck is AC and crank up windows, if you need cameras to drive a truck go drive a car!
I dont really care for tech in cars but from what I can see in this vid this one of the better examples of how to do tech in a vehicle plently of physical controls all basic functions can be done by pressing buttons and not getting distracted and in the end you don't have to option all this tech if you don't want it. Try anything from VW's ID range where even for the most basic functions you have to do a deep dive into a screen with the most nonsensical menus and submenus and full of very unintuitive touch sensite controls
It's all about the "look at me, I'm Special".
Exactly you guys couldn't be more right a bunch of unnecessary features that will eventually break and cost a fortune to fix. Topped off by the dumbest feature of all on new Vehicles Auto start and stop.
I mean they still make those trucks too, and I buy them! XL 4x4 V8 gas regular cabs. Workhorses with taillights that do not cost $700 when my guy cracks one. I keep trucks working for decades, these are a joke.
I'll stick with my 1972 F-250 Camper Special. No electronic stuff to break.
Eh, I have that too 🍻
If the average consumer could understand how much 100k invested in an index fund looks like in 30 years.
Adjusted for inflation about 1 million in todays money. Or 2.5million in 2054 money.
So who is going to have drop $100,000 cash on a truck in one go?
The Phrase “ MORE MONEY THAN SENSE “ comes to mind
@@philgrimsey3637 I am lol. 2024 Platinum Tremor with every option including winch.
I had invested 100K 15 years ago, now it’s worth more than 1M and am paying cash for this ridiculous but awesome truck to pull my 5th wheel in retirement. So, yes, if you invest today, you too can pay cash for a 2035 truck and feel good about it.
I love my 23 F150 with that gauge cluster.. not quite all the towing options / scales.. but this would definitely be a dream truck. Couldn’t justify it though. You probably can! Get it!
Drove the early tremor plat f350 this past weekend and im in love. Wish i could afford that monthly payment though.
Had the solid steps, but had massage seats which i absolutely loved.
Much better than the scrapping vehicles vids you've been doing. I enjoy the repair and tech vids you've done and this info vid about my favorite truck is great. I wish I could afford a truck like that. I'll be staying with the lower option pickups most likely for the rest of my life. Can't afford a $100,000 pickup no matter what. I can't imagine how much the insurance plus finance payment costs.
he can't afford it either.
I love your enthusiasm as you're describing this truck to us. Well done!
Except the part where he is capping on older people.
Ford has come a long way I have been driving them for the past 30 years as a service technician I have a 2020 van and I enjoy driving it reliability is great love it
i got a new F350 on the way great to see they fixed a lot of the little annoyances. those upfitter switches are for alot more then lights my dude its for anything you need to add like PTOs, emergency lighting, and more i have a whelen core system with the OBD interface i turn on the 360 work lights my emercancy lights light up too in white the mirror work lights turn on the allys and side white lights etc. love these trucks
I do love the interior color on the seats!👍👍
I love trucks but I am handicap and can’t step up. I will get an old 70’s ford I won’t step into the bed. 70’s is my grandfather favorite truck and I remember him and I going somewhere together. Great memories. He’s my hero.
I am left handed and would argue about controls being on the right side but you are 100% right cause that’s where I would put it for the stereo.
Cool truck but there's one major problem, it's $100,000 for a Ford! Unless it's a limited edition Shelby or a Ford GT it has no business being six figures in my opinion...
Oh man, I love my tailgate step. I use it as much as I can.
I like my 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins. Its a nice mix of technology and analog technology. Touch screen that sets what you need. Central screen that can be set to show only what you needed to know. And i do agree with stereo systems. I just don't enjoy all of the full screens in dash. If it fails your about to have a bad day.
Had a 2015 F150 Platinum. when the aluminum first came out, incredible truck! over 100k Miles with no problems, i was a car fanatic kid with magazines stacked to the ceiling closet, along with being a Chevy family my entire life. and said i would NEVER own a Ford. well...lol....The new F150's are the best vehicle's I've ever driven, other favorites...Land Rovers, BMW 3 series, Tesla, Porsche 911. buy one you wont regret it. ;-)
You work so hard, you deserve this truck to celebrate all the channel’s successes
Looks like the 23 250 is just bringing it up to date, my 21 f150 has all the same electronics. That's also the push button heated steering wheel button I mentioned last truck review video, all that stuff was available in the 21 f150 when you bought your f250
That isn’t a 23 tho it’s a 24! I have a 2024 f350 with the high output 6.7 it’s a beast! Had a 2019 before that horse power and pulling not even close to the same. I pulled a goose neck with a backhoe almost everyday. With my bed and tools the truck alone is 11,900 lbs. backhoe 16,000 lbs not sure on the trailer I’d say 8 to 9000 lbs. never stops pulling. Think it’s safe to say as of right now ford has the best pulling truck by far.
I’ve watched a lot of your videos. I don’t think that I’ve ever seen you this happy.
I love my 08 Ranger 2.3L w/5 speed manual! I also love my two "oil burning" Hyundai GDIs. This truck cost more than all my vehicles combined x3! It is a very nice and capable truck though!
They limit them because of the tire rating. If you have higher speed rated tires I'm sure they raise the limiter. Or at least that's how they did it 25 years ago when all the high-speed rated tires started to come into the market.
$100k for a Ford? No way.
Well they are the top truck
I do work on these new high end trucks. They still hit deer lol
Im going to completely redo my 2003 F-150 extended cab stepside FX4 purple truck. Its like a coupe compared to trucks today
Finally a video longer that 12 min 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊. Much love ❤️
I’m 52 I understand everything about my platinum tremor and don’t need to wait 5 years to trade in on the next one I like
Wonder what happens when those running board motors get a few years old
and get filled with Road Salt and Grime 🤔
They will fail like they always do but most likely, the kinds of people who buy these types of trucks will have sent it down the road long before that happens.
The kinds of people who buy $100,000 trucks are not the kinds of people who are willing to drive a 3, 4, 5 year old truck.
@@brian5othey are usually the types that don't get mud on their trucks either
Don't forget the mud. It's a bitch to unhook the connector ends
No issues on my '14 yet.
You just wash them, I crack the front doors and spend about 30 seconds cleaning the hinges at the car wash every time I wash my truck. They’ll last forever if you care for them. 💯
I had AMPs power steps back in like 2010 as soon as they came out, I’m sure they’re still working fine today. Power steps are an absolute must.
Love it! Keep up the good content.
Lmao funny you mentioned it because I’ve gotta remind the nephew once again that an F250 platinum 4x4 (not even an FX4) with street tires is NOT meant to be a serious Off Road vehicle as he’s sunk my brothers F250 in mud up to the axles yet again 🤦♂️ I guess he didn’t learn his lesson when he got it stuck for two days last year
the tailgate step is super useful for loading dirtbikes in the truckbed
that side bed step is just a year thing, its not exclusive to the Tremor. It was Ford responding to GM doing it on the HD Sierra and Silverado. Ram might even do it too soon. Nissan even had the running boards that ran longer from the factory to also account for it for the XD.
That front step was pretty slick and I love how well Ford incorporated it into the design. It’s nice to know it’s available on all trims.
I've been a "Ford Guy" for nearly 4 decades and while I absolutely love the F250 in this trim with the Tremor package - I just can't seem to find it in my heart (or budget) for $100k on a truck. In the past few years you couldn't count on someone else taking the arse kicking driving it off the lot then scooping up a deal 18-36 months later - those days may be coming back but for now (truck) prices are still holding.... If I had to buy a truck today - it would be between a Ford F250 and a RAM - the last 1/2 ton truck was going to be a RAM (in 2018) but the sales folks didn't "show up" when I went looking with money in my account to spend - so Ford it was.
I hate sunroofs or drop tops I don’t need the sun on me while driving I’ve never driven my sc430 with the top down I do run it a couple times a month so I know it’s working but I like that it’s a hard top no rag and no to sunroofs Slictop always looks better and less areas to fail
To any OBD tuners out there - please develope an override for these digital gauges of bar graphs and replace them with standard orange needle on a white dial background! It would be so much easier to see the speedo and tach!!!
The step is great especially running on 38s. I would fire any of my guys that used the tailgate measuring tape for other than fish
the formula for this video:
step 1: ask a local dealership if you can test drive a vehicle and mention you have a youtube channel. step 2: make 47 minute review of car you do not own to satisfy a 3rd party sponsor who doesn't care what the actual content is about or if you even demonstrate the product. step 3: edit video. step 4: release video.
All the dealerships in town know Hoovie and I lol. This review was way over an hour and cut down, the ad could’ve been dropped into any video I wanted. But yes that is the concept of every RUclips video ever made 🤷🏻♂️
You're not hoovie
I’ll be 50 soon, but I feel 70 many days. Not sure if I’d use that step, but I like those steps in the Chevy Bumpers.
JR, you have to get this truck. It's for the health of your back. You have to do it!!!! Go for it.
Beautiful Truck! cant decide on a 250 or 350? i really dont do any heavy towing. some hauling and snowplowing.
The F250 should do the job just fine. The F350 is more suited for towing and hauling because of suspension changes I believe. But if you don’t do it all the time the F250 is a perfect choice for your needs with the truck.
There isn’t a stock pickup truck on Earth that’s worth that kind of money.
Luv your enthusiasm for this truck, too bad you can't trade in your 22 yet.
Ive bought a few new cars in my life but only had one sakes person explain all of the operations of the vehicle. They even asked for our cell phones and linked them to the car.
Random question, have you noticed the passenger tires sticking out farther than the driver side?
I just got my 350 tremor and noticed it m, they’re about 3/4” farther out
I’ve heard it’s a super duty thing
Remember ford would not stand by the transmission clutches in the focus
JR you should save Hoovie from himself. Buy his $8k Maserati (from his most recent vid) and scrap it for parts before he talks himself into "saving" it and ends up spending $15k putting an engine and who knows what else into it.
I think $8k might be more than the parts are worth, the engine is the most valuable part of that car 😬
@@WatchJRGo Well I guess that would be in line with his historical purchasing patterns....😌
Ford should be promoting this video everywhere. This is better than their advertising! I’m not a Ford guy but I feel the need to go buy one of these…… Thx WatchJRGo
My wife won't buy a Ford WITHOUT the tailgate step! She is 5 foot everything is too tall.she uses our camper a lot she absolutely needs the step. It is very useful!
Can you give us an update on the volt?
Yup, it’s broken, coming soon 🥲
I'm not a Ford guy, but the Tremor looks amazing with the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires. I think the Tremor competes with the Chevy Trail Boss.
Ford must have hired a GM engineer because most of the complaints that JR has about his 2022 that got fixed on the 2023 were already done right on my 2019 Silverado
GM didn’t update the 3/4 ton interior until 22 if I remember right. The 1/2 tons always get the cool stuff first.
You’re right, I’m referring to my 1/2 ton. On my truck, I can slam the shifter down and it doesn’t go past D, (by the way, in a truck I love old school column shift rather than console shifter or buttons or especially dial) it has power up and down tailgate, heated steering wheel button on the steering wheel.
How much does the dealer pay to make videos? Might not be a bad side hustle.
Nothing lol… I wanted this truck, they let me take what I want 🍻
Love the Tremor’s exterior and interior colors!
i wonder if you will do a video on your thoughts on the new nissans $ 10,000 truck...it seems to get great reviews..but its not currently sold in the U.S...but when it is, it would be cool to see you review one.
Give us old farts credit; I'm 68 and enjoy all those options. The adaptive-cruise and lane-assist-steering make 12-hour days so much less tiresome. It's a total game changer for racking up highway miles.
Yet they still have the key less keypad that i love that were on Lincolns in the late 80's 💯
I loved that feature on my Mark VIIs
Well John Ross, I suppose that Ford now have to give you this truck for free since your review for this truck was outstanding. I really hope they do 🙂
I just looked at a Tremor today, huge wheels, Power Stroke, Lariat 92k. Tremor pk was 4k. 35" wheel I think.
Must have been a 24? This one is listed at 23 (with 4k miles on it) 🍻
@@WatchJRGo I believe it was a 2024. I've never seen you so excited about anything.... It is a sweet truck, so is yours.
When you reference the '22 for comparison, is it only the F-250 you are talking about? My '22 F-150 Tremor has all of the outstanding updates that you are talking about.
I miss how cars were made in the 1960's (even though I didn't physically experience)- you get to pick every single option. You didn't have to buy packages to get features. If you want 220, you check the box.
The tray step on my Ute is good when your in your 50s
Be honest, how much work or repair has been done to your new truck?
My 2019 Ram 3500 with 150K miles has had ZERO repairs needed.
I think Ram probably has the most dependable trucks out there right now and they’re damned nice. My neighbor just purchased a 2023 Ram 1500 Limited.
GM has transmission issues and Ford’s quality in general is a mess. I love Fords and would never buy one now.
Ram is where it’s at. I’ve actually been trying to talk my uncle into buying one.
The owner of my place of employment has had his fully loaded 23 RAM back for ongoing problems numerous times since day one. He still loves the truck but gets annoyed with how much it has been at the dealer instead of in his garage as his daily driver.
I haven’t had to do one thing to the new one, it’s had 2 oil changes and that’s it 💯
@@brian5o my bros dodge ram pickup is in the shop right now getting the exhaust manifold bolts done...i think its a 2016 or 17
Shout out to the 2022 3-month wait Ford bed liner gang 💪😎 😂😂😂
Tax implications be damned, you NEED a 23 / 24 😂😂
Yes I do 💯
Given all the quality issues Ford has been having for a while now, I can’t imagine why anyone would buy a Ford product right now🤷🏼♂️
Every brand has their issues but when the CEO says they need to work on their quality, that is on a another level.
I am so glad I don't need a truck. How much was the optional gas station?
I like the smaller wheels on the Tremor better, the bigger sidewall suits it.
hoovie said you were gutting your place and moving out what is happening never saw that episode
Tyler meant JR is scrapping cars meaning taking them apart.
Yeah, he was talking about me scrapping the Maserati lol
I have a co-worker who took out a 401k loan to buy a very similar truck.
The bank would not loan him the money because they said the payments were too high for his income!
If we take out a loan against our 401k it has to be paid back within 5 years so he is paying back $20,000 per year plus interest and he is moonlighting after work and on weekends as a delivery person for his brother-in-law's furniture store so he has money to make ends meet
He puts $20 to $25 a fuel in it every couple of days because he says he can't afford to fill it from empty!
And he's getting taxed on the repayments because they come from his net income, but goes back as pre-tax dollars. So he gets to pay taxes twice on the same money. Once on the repayment and again when he distributes in retirement. Congrats!
Imagine the insurance cost on a 100K truck.
2020 platinum tremor was perfect. And they deleted the mute button on my 23
These new trucks are something you would not buy when used because of all the tech on them . Think of the cost to repair all this stuff! But great truck new.
JR, you could sell refrigerators to Eskimos.
WOW! The ability to touch a button on the door handle and it locks and you can touch the inside of the handle to unlock! Just INCREDIBLE Ford is incorporating technology that is AT LEAST 10 years old because I have that SAME feature on my 2014 Audi A6. Sorry, Ford... it's really hard to be impressed by technology that old.
Fords actually had the “buttons to unlock/lock” since 1980! With the convenient little number pad no key needed!
I’m talking about adding labels and making it ergonomic… all of my trucks have keyless go back to like 2015 🍻
I have an 08 Audi S5 that has touch lock/ unlock handles, why he’s making it out to be amazing is odd, this kind of tech is available in almost every new car as well, it’s not Genius Ford thinking..in fact most of the tech in the truck is available on much cheaper cars.
@@raypayne2228 I’M TALKING ABOUT THEM ADDING THE LOCK ICON 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 all my cars have handle touch keyless go, everything has for 20 years 🤷🏻♂️
@@WatchJRGo no need to get angry, adding a label doesn’t make it a great feature, people aren’t that thick that they can’t work out how to get in and out of a vehicle and need a label to show them, it’s not ‘knocking it out of the park’ stuff by Ford..this is a truck with modern vehicle features, that they want 100k for, nuts.
It’s nice, but for me AC, heat and a seat are all the luxury I need. For electronics, the 15pro suffices.
This was a fantastic epsiode 47 min long!!!!!!!!!!
Regarding the column shifter - can you put it into drive and using an open palm, push forward and upward on the shifter to move it into neutral without having it go into reverse?
On past Fords, trucks or sedans, F250 or F150, conlumn or console shifters, you could not do that! For the column shifter, you actually had to pull the lever UP and put it into Neutral!
The reason why this is important is in case the throttle gets stuck, you can just palm it and push the shifter from D into N without fear of going into R.
This can be done on all Ram, GMC, Chevy, vehicles as well as BMW, Mercedes, Audi VW, Toyota, Lexus Honda and Acura vehicles. Why ford has this lockout is unknown as this is a DESIGN FLAW! Other manufacturers do not have this safety issue with their auto transmissions!
Curious what you find on your new truck?
I have a 2021 platinum super duty. I’ve never accidentally put mine into manual
john rose u make me lol when u talk about fords
Why can't the 22' update the firmware to let the dash do the same as the 23'? Seems like not very good planning.
I have tried to order a limited with tremor and no dice on that. So I did this build plat with tremor. I may just bump up to a 350 as it is less than 1k more or so.
It’s crazy the small price difference to go from the 150 to 250 to 350. I’d test drive the F-350 just to make sure the more robust suspension isn’t too abusive to your body but if you are okay with the ride, I say go for it! I hope you enjoy your new truck!
I really want to test drive a tremor as I tow a 27foot airstream. I have see some reviews of the 350 tremor and say it rides like a half ton truck.
Same, they won’t let you have both 😡😡😡
I must be old. back in the day with new vehicles it was all about the engine, horsepower and performance. Now its all about the technology in the vehicle.
One more thing about my work van good fuel economy for a work van 👍❤️
The only thing it’s missing is a Floor shifter. I wish superdutys had a floor shifter option 😳
Lets take bets on how soon the transmission gets replaced....in my fleet i have had 4 F350 transmission replacement under 50k miles....
Don’t be upset. The way I justify it to myself is “if this is the quality I can buy today, imagine how good my options will be when I’m ready”
New trucks are plagued with electric problems. Government mandates have pushed the brands to sensors on sensors. Avoid unless you enjoy taking it the mechanic or dealership and tossing money out the window.
Looks neat.
Ford really flexed with this one 💪
Hope the transmission doesn't fail.
Alright the one technology I would use is a trailer camera
Weren't the Canadian Pontiacs built on Chevrolet chassis? Note US Pontiacs introduced hidden windshield wipers. The Canadian Pontiacs have exposed wipers. The history missed several items.
It's a beautiful truck, but way more than I'm willing to spend. I freak at 50K, but dam, it sure would be nice to daily drive that beast.
