As a European, the F150-F350 is so surreal :D People here haul their couch, transport their family and get their regular Job done in a 1.6 TDI VW Passat. If you wanna trailer a horse you might get a VW Tiguan with the mighty, powerful 2.0 TDI. Even the ambulance car has a 2.0 or 2.2 Liter Diesel.
The firefighting vehicles are also different. I worked from the small Mercedes Vito to the huge Mercedes Econic or Renault Kerax. Airport firefighting vehicles are and other step forward...
Yeah however, all of Europe is less than half of the size of the the U.S. which means a lot of people rely on big trucks to move all kinds of things. For example we do monthly dump runs because we dont have communal garbage pick up, when we do landscaping we have to haul the materials to and from our house, towing trailers with large equipment on them, etc. Its hard to compare the 2 very different living situations, sort of like someone in NY city judging someone living in Wyoming.
In my job in Florida we rely on the f350 to be our pipe truck its the best option tbh that truck can hold over 800ft PVC pipe and can haul a 16ft trailer behind it with 3 pallets of sod not mention all the tools and we need for the job and can hold so much stuff and it barely even struggles its definitely heavy but it's honestly a must in construction in the u.s

Paramedic here. I appreciate the shout out. You didn’t mention it but I know you experienced just how bumpy it is in the back of the ambulance as compared to the front.
@@themidnighttavern6784 "I've always wondered how those things handle at high speeds." It's a gigantic, top-heavy brick. The back end simultaneously feels like it's super floaty and has a ten-ton gorilla right over the bumper. At highway speeds, it's not particularly dramatic, except over old expansion joints and pavement changes. Lane changes need to be planned a little ways in advance just due to weight transfer. At least with the F450 my department has, the 6.7 happily carries you all the way up to legal highway speeds, and even in 6th gear, the truck still wants to pull past the (governed) 82 mph limiter. You're just drinking fuel for no good reason at that point, though. The older ambulances I've driven (both pre-2010 Chevy and Ford type 3s) tend to struggle a lot more with trying to maintain highway speeds, and the old Ford engines feel like boat anchors. The real pain is when the winds pick up, and the crosswinds just grab the top of the box and try to push you around like a kid with a die-cast car. However, the worse the road gets, the less speed you can keep, especially when you've got your crew trying to do their job in the back. You're lucky if you can even get 45-50 mph on poorly maintained New England state routes and back roads without rattling your crew. They also have a habit of finding any little rut in the road and sinking right into it, which can make trying to pick smoother lines more challenging than it needs to be. The rear suspension across almost every ambulance I've driven is super bouncy as well, so every crack, every heave, and every random depression in the road can unsettle the back end of the truck in ways that make me a little leery of going any faster than I _need_ to.
Have been a garbage man on the back of a truck in Texas. I've also done construction, (concrete, roofing, electrician) been a soldier in the US Army, as well as many other physical jobs. Jumping up and down off of a garbage truck throwing cans is the hardest thing that I have ever done, by far. Threw up my first day.
@@yaelmorales7245I haven't worked as a garbage man but I've worked as an electrician in a abattoir and I'd guess it's the smell, I've had to take apart machines which clean out the butt hole of the pigs whilst they're mid production but you get used to it very quick. The issue then is you smell of the job so basically shower after every shift.
@@yaelmorales7245as a Garbage man, it's both. Fortunately I have my class A and I'm qualified in every line of business at my company. so my job is usually more kushy than being a loader/helper, but make no mistake I can and do get out there and throw cans with the best of them. Especially towards the end of training new drivers. I have to make sure loaders can feel safe in the hands of the new drivers. Though I will say that you do get used to the smell, although occasionally you get some things that smell so foul that you can't help being disgusted
Fire training is no joke. I worked on a ship when I was younger, and every crew member had to do fire training. We had to wear full gear and run into a pitch black room full of smoke, find the body, and pull it out. It was intense. Best time of my life.

I used to work for a garbage truck Body manufacturer, I never had the garbage truck buzz that many kids had, but I definitely saw it as a sales and marketing rep. I can appreciate Nolan’s perspective. Garbage trucks are really cool and the way these things run, every truck is run to or over capacity every day. It is impressive engineering

Actually many F350 and 450 trucks have GVWs over 10,000 lbs and can be driven with a normal car license. Once the total weight of truck and trailer go 26,000 lbs or more, a CDL is required.
There's a cdl class C license required for 16,001-26,000lbs combined weight. It's not a full class A or B CDL for big trucks but it's more than required for zipping around in a little Honda civic.
I think they’re going off of California motor vehicle laws. If memory serves me right, every state does it a bit differently. Some have a non CDL version for heavier vehicles and others don’t.
@@EricErnst in CA a class C is GVWR of 26,000 lbs or less and you can't tow more than GVWR 10,000 lbs. You can get an endorsement for a fifth wheel travel trailer of between 10,000 and 15,000 lbs added to the C. The combo can't be more than 26,000lbs either way. Class B and A are for larger vehicles like a bus and semi trucks.
In EU, anything above the F250 would require a full "truck" licence ! (We cant drive anything above 5.5t with a "car" licence) I'm just stunned how bif these things are ! I've encountered one or two F150 here and they're already massive for us !
Grandpas daily was a F-550. Was always amazed why he needed it (retired and living in a community) Once working at a gas station a guy drove up in a lifted F-650 with a custom bed. I asked him what his MPG was and he said “it’s fun to drive”.
@@GoldenGearGrinderwent from living in a rural community where most people drove trucks they actually needed to a more city area where people drive the ridiculous ones and you are 1000% correct
@@JamesonWilde True. Unless you are regularly hauling over 1500 pounds, a truck is completely unnecessary for most people. Hell, a prius, one of the whimpiest cars around has a 1600 pound towing capacity. Get a third party hitch, and trailer, and you could haul all the couches you need.
reminder that nearly 80% of trucks sold in the US will never be used to haul anything that a hatchback couldn't handle. Most will never tow a single thing.
20:00 Ford doesn't sell the F550 with a pickup bed directly but PLENTY of conversion companies do. It's actually a very common thing to do if you truly want/need a GIANT ass truck.
i think you’re taking about the f-450 they sell them directly from the dealership you usually wouldn’t see a f-550 being converted because it would be the same as a f-450 from the dealer
@@avervcarpenter No, I definitely meant the F550. It and the F650 are very common for pickup conversions for those with "downstairs size deficiency" lol. And the F450 is NOT the same thing as a pickup converted F550! Despite having the same engine options, the F550 is a bigger vehicle with a bigger tray (meaning you can put a bigger pickup bed on it) and has a slightly higher towing capacity (18500lbs vs 17000lbs IIRC).
The fact that nobody knows that the F650 and F750 tractor super duty even exists surprises me. Heck, nobody even knows the F550 exists yet it’s literally everywhere in America, same with the F650.
A lot of those are used for commercial reasons so they are seen but usually covered with company names or equipment so it's harder to tell what it actually is underneath
technically you can put a fifth wheel on anything... so i would have assumed that you could buy any superduty and put a fifth wheel on it. not that i would recommend it. they aren't really built for it. they are built for more specialized jobs it seems.
My area people know about the 550. Simply due to their use as the basis for our local bus chassis. The primary reasons being of course, they're high capacity buses along with the engine Bay because they got out the original Ford.Engine and put in a large natural gas engine that's almost oversized.
Having worked, sold and outfitted every single f-series, great video. The cab only f3-550 dually can do some serious burnouts with zero weight over the back lol.
As a Wildland Firefighter, seeing you guys do a hose lay reminds me of my first time. Wasnt pretty but it got the job done. But im glad you guys had fun and didnt do it going up hill 😅
Im not a firefighter or EMT but i really appreciate the overview of those versions because of the fact that my friends regularly have to depend on these chassis. Thank you donut!
I’m an electrical tech at a Ford dealer. I drive a 2017 F-250 supercab w/ 4x4 off road package. Equipped with the 6.2L and 6R100. She eats fuel like nobody’s business but she definitely feels like a truck. Like yall said, the new F150s really drive like big cars. I prefer my truck.
That would be a really good one- expose which generation was really the apex F150 and show whether the interiors and core components actually are becoming cheapened.
And have Nolan repeatedly being like “well ackshually guys, I for one really appreciate the car-like feel and creature comforts of the latest generation”
People seem to forget that the cab for the F-150 and F-250 are exactly the same size. The frame of the 250 is larger but the actual passenger compartment is the same.
@@ChrisWijtmans No, I mean douche bros who buy a pavement princess because a big truck compensates for their tiny egos. Most F-150s will never see a day of work in their life.
I'm going to forever miss the option to buy a compact Ford Ranger with a long bed and no crew cab. As it is my Honda Fit has more cargo space than most of the pickups out there which aren't sold specifically to hold lots of cargo.
Dude I'm getting train3d tomorrow on the f750 garbage truck, I started out as a helper like 3 weeks ago. I'll be using the f750 until I get my CDL. this is by far the chillest job i've had. I've been a commercial fisherman until 23 and then construction until 31. I'm 34 now. I think this will be the line of work I retire on.
Here in middle Europe, you sometimes see F-150s and they are massive compared to the Ford Ranger. ...Which is bigger than a small Ford Transit while having less Cargo Space and no Rain Protection from the factory.
Yeah, trucks are very rare here in Prague. Almost non existent. Seems silly to have a truck for work when the sides are open to theft and the weather. Also too large for many streets, parking, parking garages and residential garages. Most trucks in America aren't used for work, however. They are pen-s extenders...
Exactly, I don't see any practical use for these trucks. You can have similar benifits of a regular Hilux with a 4 cylindre diesel and gain fuel consumption
@@stevemcgowen But streets in US and Canada aren't the same as most Europe, they are big and basically have no sidewalks, a F150 for a country like that is totally fine. Here in Argentina there is no many full size trucks because they are expensive so there isn't many on the market, RAM sells the old 1500 and the new 1500 Rebel and the 2500 (that nobody buys), and Ford sells the F150 Lariat crew cab with the short bed only. But a medium size pick up truck is also big for big cities here, but for open roads or smaller cities they are fine. Your vision of things is different because who wants a big vehicle in Prague.. Europe is very small.
@@drew.- it means the engines are de-rated for horsepower and torque, due to the fact that those trucks are heavier to move, and if they had the same power as the pickup trucks, they would be more likely to overheat. In other words, it’s supposed to be more reliable. However, with all the emissions controls on them, it makes little difference anyway. They’re still just as likely to overheat as their pickup truck counterparts due to the emissions controls.
@@drew.- They de-rate the engine to lower power specifications to extend the life of a vehicle that is likely going to be driven by employees that don't really care about the vehicle.
Chassis cabs are rated on a chassis dyno, not an engine dyno. The broad reason is that they will be outfitted with either an rv body or a commercial body. They are also, typically, sprung really heavy and not intended to tow much weight, but to carry more.
Whoever at Nissan loaded up a Nissan truck commercial FILMED by Nolan of Donut Media, to run before the promo video of Ford Trucks by Donut Media... that person needs a raise! Well done Marketing Person, well done! 😂
Honestly my favourite style of video and what a great way to make it fun to watch , I’m from the uk so we don’t typically see these F series if not at all
We drove f650's and corresponding gm rigs in the Navy to haul our boats. Drove them through small towns in europe pulling a boat. Talk about a tight squeeze.
I know the point of the video wasn't to just look at "the best option" for the job. but I am curious if there are better/more efficient options. If I look at these engine sizes I think most European "options" for service vehicles have like half the engine displacement and similar usefulness! I wouldl ove to see DOnut go to Europe and do a European version of vehicles.
Thank you for going through the series up to the F-750 😊 I started my big Ford truck days driving a F-600 with a 4 speed with two speed rear axle shifter. ( Red nob on shifter) It had a huge gas engine. Pulled a Case 580-C backhoe. I have rented from United Rentals the new F-750 In dump truck bed. It had the V-10 gas engine. With automatic transmission. 😊
My dad worked at FoMoCo back in the 70's, so I grew up around Ford vehicles most of my young life. My Dad passed away a few years ago and he still had his 2007 F250 with over half million miles on the OD. For me, I've since owned Honda's, Audi's and Nissans, but it's funny how now at 53, my wife and I both drive Fords. Although, I am liking the looks of the new Toyota Landcruiser :)
At 19, I drive our E-450 RV all the time and I have no idea why, but that thing is easier to maneuver than my 09 Silverado, the turning radius is amazing although the breaking takes some getting used too
As some who owns and operates trucks for a living (hauling cars with a semi) it was really cool to see Nolan really getting into it and driving some heavy large trucks. As well as seeing the boys really get hands on with some of the jobs!
The f series truck go past the king ranch trim all the way into the platinum trim, which is usually around 75k+ options one step above the king ranch and the F150 raptor is also part of the f series and arguably one of the least depreciating trucks out there.
@@LUNArXpedition thays very true the limited was the creme of la creme. The top trim with very few options available since everything was already included in the package. On top of the limited number of trucks produced (get the pun? 😆)
Maximum GVWR you can operate with a class C standard license is 26,000lbs. Maximum GCWR (weight rating of truck and any towed vehicles) is the same 26,000lbs. California and some other states have an additional restriction on the towed vehicle needing to be less than 10,000lbs GVWR. Vehicles with a GVWR over 9,999lbs are taxed more severely when registering, hence the optional 10k package. Vehicles with a GVWR greater than 6,000lbs qualify for additional income tax credits.
As a teenager my dad had an F-350 Super Duty Dually. Had the extended cab and bed. He drove it for his business, but I loved driving that truck when he didn't need it. It dwarfed all the other trucks the kids and parents at my school drove. I normally drove my Ford Taurus, so it was a fun change-up. Polar opposite driving experience. lol
As an Asian, i really get amazed with all of these beasts. I never see all of these in my country. Streets are narrower and more rough compared to in the US. So people do all of the jobs with Japanese kei truck. Haul a bunch of pigs, deliver a ton of veggies from rural highland to big city, collect garbages from one house to another house, etc. Anyway thanks Donut Media, u gimme many info that i don't know before i watch ur videos.
the 6.7 actually has 500hp and 1200 ftlbs of torque in its highest rating but once you get it in a cab and chassis configuration its detuned from the factory for reliability, thats why the bigger trucks seem to have less power
6:24 Part of this is incorrect. GVWR refers to manufacturers maximum total (gross) weight for that vehicle. Many countries have their own regulations that are based around GWVR or some variation. Just because you exceeded the GVWR of your vehicle does not necessarily mean you need a new license, it means that you have overloaded that vehicle according to the manufacturer.
You are correct about the license part. You could buy an F-650 and tow an 5th wheel with a standard license. But some stats are cracking down and making people get a cdl for larger vehicles
Kinda ridiculous how far I had to scroll to find this. Really irked me that Jerry was just spewing misinformation then. I know that in all the other 49 states, you can purchase just about any vehicle for personal use with a standard class C license as long as it's under 26000lbs GVWR, or the combined vehicle and trailer are under 26000lbs GCVWR. It only needs DOT numbers if you exceed that 26000lbs in some way, or are using the vehicle for commercial purposes. I know that California in particular has some really insane regulations regarding vehicles and their use, so what Jerry said may actually be true in that state specifically.
This is a subject that I know alot about. Over the years I have driven all of the F-series trucks. The last one that I drove everday was a 550.Ive had 2 brand new 550s and a 650 as my work truck.All of the other trucks were used before they got to me,but they were still pretty decent. I used to actually enjoy driving the 450 sometimes because it was an automatic.The 1,2,and 350s were pickups.I like Ford for work trucks and Chevy for personal trucks.when I was 15 and I had my learners permit I was driving a Chevy C70.I drove it with a trailer and plowed snow in it.
I drive a F250 6.7 XLT every day as my daily driver for work from my company. We stick with our vehicles for years so I’ve gotten used to it and now want to buy my own. It’s an amazing truck. I also drive an F-550 Bucket truck and the weight difference is incredible. Both have the same 6.7 Turbodiesel power stroke diesel engine. It’s a great power unit

As a full-time fire fighter and paramedic, I found the F350 portion of the video awesome!
Same here! My fiancee is a Firefighter/Paramedic (In Japan, "Smaller" city's have a joint department) and I have never seen what she does at work. It actually made me very happy and proud of her after seeing this
P.S those 24 hour shifts are killer....
Paramedic here. I appreciate the shout out. You didn’t mention it but I know you experienced just how bumpy it is in the back of the ambulance as compared to the front.
I've always wondered how those things handle at high speeds. There has to be some paramedics out there pushing them to like 100 plus mph. Brave souls.
@@themidnighttavern6784 nah, not 100mph, maybe 80 but to be honest its not safe to go faster than that
@@themidnighttavern6784 "I've always wondered how those things handle at high speeds."
It's a gigantic, top-heavy brick. The back end simultaneously feels like it's super floaty and has a ten-ton gorilla right over the bumper. At highway speeds, it's not particularly dramatic, except over old expansion joints and pavement changes. Lane changes need to be planned a little ways in advance just due to weight transfer. At least with the F450 my department has, the 6.7 happily carries you all the way up to legal highway speeds, and even in 6th gear, the truck still wants to pull past the (governed) 82 mph limiter. You're just drinking fuel for no good reason at that point, though. The older ambulances I've driven (both pre-2010 Chevy and Ford type 3s) tend to struggle a lot more with trying to maintain highway speeds, and the old Ford engines feel like boat anchors. The real pain is when the winds pick up, and the crosswinds just grab the top of the box and try to push you around like a kid with a die-cast car.
However, the worse the road gets, the less speed you can keep, especially when you've got your crew trying to do their job in the back. You're lucky if you can even get 45-50 mph on poorly maintained New England state routes and back roads without rattling your crew. They also have a habit of finding any little rut in the road and sinking right into it, which can make trying to pick smoother lines more challenging than it needs to be. The rear suspension across almost every ambulance I've driven is super bouncy as well, so every crack, every heave, and every random depression in the road can unsettle the back end of the truck in ways that make me a little leery of going any faster than I _need_ to.
One thing I hate at the station are the Ford ambulances ^^
Really not a great ride and luckily only used for the less urgent patient transports here
Have been a garbage man on the back of a truck in Texas. I've also done construction, (concrete, roofing, electrician) been a soldier in the US Army, as well as many other physical jobs. Jumping up and down off of a garbage truck throwing cans is the hardest thing that I have ever done, by far. Threw up my first day.
Is it the smells or the physical labor? Genuinely wanting to know
@@yaelmorales7245I haven't worked as a garbage man but I've worked as an electrician in a abattoir and I'd guess it's the smell, I've had to take apart machines which clean out the butt hole of the pigs whilst they're mid production but you get used to it very quick. The issue then is you smell of the job so basically shower after every shift.

Fortunately I have my class A and I'm qualified in every line of business at my company. so my job is usually more kushy than being a loader/helper, but make no mistake I can and do get out there and throw cans with the best of them. Especially towards the end of training new drivers. I have to make sure loaders can feel safe in the hands of the new drivers.
Though I will say that you do get used to the smell, although occasionally you get some things that smell so foul that you can't help being disgusted

Actually many F350 and 450 trucks have GVWs over 10,000 lbs and can be driven with a normal car license. Once the total weight of truck and trailer go 26,000 lbs or more, a CDL is required.
There's a cdl class C license required for 16,001-26,000lbs combined weight. It's not a full class A or B CDL for big trucks but it's more than required for zipping around in a little Honda civic.
Depends on the state and the use of the vehicle. You can go over the 26k mark in some states if it’s and RV
I think they’re going off of California motor vehicle laws. If memory serves me right, every state does it a bit differently. Some have a non CDL version for heavier vehicles and others don’t.
@@EricErnst in CA a class C is GVWR of 26,000 lbs or less and you can't tow more than GVWR 10,000 lbs. You can get an endorsement for a fifth wheel travel trailer of between 10,000 and 15,000 lbs added to the C.
The combo can't be more than 26,000lbs either way.
Class B and A are for larger vehicles like a bus and semi trucks.
In EU, anything above the F250 would require a full "truck" licence ! (We cant drive anything above 5.5t with a "car" licence)

@@GoldenGearGrinderwent from living in a rural community where most people drove trucks they actually needed to a more city area where people drive the ridiculous ones and you are 1000% correct
@@JamesonWilde True. Unless you are regularly hauling over 1500 pounds, a truck is completely unnecessary for most people. Hell, a prius, one of the whimpiest cars around has a 1600 pound towing capacity. Get a third party hitch, and trailer, and you could haul all the couches you need.
reminder that nearly 80% of trucks sold in the US will never be used to haul anything that a hatchback couldn't handle. Most will never tow a single thing.
20:00 Ford doesn't sell the F550 with a pickup bed directly but PLENTY of conversion companies do. It's actually a very common thing to do if you truly want/need a GIANT ass truck.
Yes I’ve seen 2 F750 with a regular bed. Those trucks are huge!
i think you’re taking about the f-450 they sell them directly from the dealership you usually wouldn’t see a f-550 being converted because it would be the same as a f-450 from the dealer
"Want a giant ass truck" not sure most people need a pickup truck like that
@@avervcarpenter No, I definitely meant the F550. It and the F650 are very common for pickup conversions for those with "downstairs size deficiency" lol.
And the F450 is NOT the same thing as a pickup converted F550! Despite having the same engine options, the F550 is a bigger vehicle with a bigger tray (meaning you can put a bigger pickup bed on it) and has a slightly higher towing capacity (18500lbs vs 17000lbs IIRC).
Singapore's army has also converted F550s into combat ambulances (to replace Land Rover Defender)
The fact that nobody knows that the F650 and F750 tractor super duty even exists surprises me. Heck, nobody even knows the F550 exists yet it’s literally everywhere in America, same with the F650.
A lot of those are used for commercial reasons so they are seen but usually covered with company names or equipment so it's harder to tell what it actually is underneath
I think they discontinued the tractor version for 2024. I didn't see it on the commercial vehicles site last I looked.
technically you can put a fifth wheel on anything... so i would have assumed that you could buy any superduty and put a fifth wheel on it. not that i would recommend it. they aren't really built for it. they are built for more specialized jobs it seems.
My area people know about the 550. Simply due to their use as the basis for our local bus chassis. The primary reasons being of course, they're high capacity buses along with the engine Bay because they got out the original Ford.Engine and put in a large natural gas engine that's almost oversized.

I'm going to forever miss the option to buy a compact Ford Ranger with a long bed and no crew cab. As it is my Honda Fit has more cargo space than most of the pickups out there which aren't sold specifically to hold lots of cargo.
How much cargo space does your Honda Fit have?
@@lego4virgo I'd have to dig up the numbers again but it's surprisingly large. Once hauled an IKEA loft bed home in her.
@@Serenity_Dee cargo space is only an interior dimension. Pretty much any SUV (small or large) will have more "cargo space" then a pick up truck.

You're gonna tell your little fit will carry more then late model ranger which has a tall open bed. Doubt your fit has the same load capacity.

Here in middle Europe, you sometimes see F-150s and they are massive compared to the Ford Ranger.
...Which is bigger than a small Ford Transit while having less Cargo Space and no Rain Protection from the factory.
Oh yes. And I still bought one. XD
Yeah, trucks are very rare here in Prague. Almost non existent. Seems silly to have a truck for work when the sides are open to theft and the weather. Also too large for many streets, parking, parking garages and residential garages. Most trucks in America aren't used for work, however. They are pen-s extenders...
Exactly, I don't see any practical use for these trucks.
You can have similar benifits of a regular Hilux with a 4 cylindre diesel and gain fuel consumption
Better towing capacity though and more comfortable for the driver.
@@stevemcgowen But streets in US and Canada aren't the same as most Europe, they are big and basically have no sidewalks, a F150 for a country like that is totally fine. Here in Argentina there is no many full size trucks because they are expensive so there isn't many on the market, RAM sells the old 1500 and the new 1500 Rebel and the 2500 (that nobody buys), and Ford sells the F150 Lariat crew cab with the short bed only. But a medium size pick up truck is also big for big cities here, but for open roads or smaller cities they are fine. Your vision of things is different because who wants a big vehicle in Prague.. Europe is very small.
A little note: chassis cabs are de-rated due to their duty cycles. This includes the F350, F450, and F550.
What does that mean? Genuinely curious
@@drew.- it means the engines are de-rated for horsepower and torque, due to the fact that those trucks are heavier to move, and if they had the same power as the pickup trucks, they would be more likely to overheat. In other words, it’s supposed to be more reliable. However, with all the emissions controls on them, it makes little difference anyway. They’re still just as likely to overheat as their pickup truck counterparts due to the emissions controls.
@@drew.- They de-rate the engine to lower power specifications to extend the life of a vehicle that is likely going to be driven by employees that don't really care about the vehicle.
Chassis cabs are rated on a chassis dyno, not an engine dyno. The broad reason is that they will be outfitted with either an rv body or a commercial body. They are also, typically, sprung really heavy and not intended to tow much weight, but to carry more.

I know the point of the video wasn't to just look at "the best option" for the job. but I am curious if there are better/more efficient options.

That is saying something since Fords have terrible resale.
Maximum GVWR you can operate with a class C standard license is 26,000lbs. Maximum GCWR (weight rating of truck and any towed vehicles) is the same 26,000lbs. California and some other states have an additional restriction on the towed vehicle needing to be less than 10,000lbs GVWR. Vehicles with a GVWR over 9,999lbs are taxed more severely when registering, hence the optional 10k package. Vehicles with a GVWR greater than 6,000lbs qualify for additional income tax credits.

9:19 The F-350 chassis is classic in Mexico since its most common use is to body microbuses such as the companies AYCO, Hidromex, CAFER, etc. did...
6:24 Part of this is incorrect.
GVWR refers to manufacturers maximum total (gross) weight for that vehicle.
Many countries have their own regulations that are based around GWVR or some variation. Just because you exceeded the GVWR of your vehicle does not necessarily mean you need a new license, it means that you have overloaded that vehicle according to the manufacturer.
You are correct about the license part. You could buy an F-650 and tow an 5th wheel with a standard license. But some stats are cracking down and making people get a cdl for larger vehicles
Kinda ridiculous how far I had to scroll to find this. Really irked me that Jerry was just spewing misinformation then. I know that in all the other 49 states, you can purchase just about any vehicle for personal use with a standard class C license as long as it's under 26000lbs GVWR, or the combined vehicle and trailer are under 26000lbs GCVWR. It only needs DOT numbers if you exceed that 26000lbs in some way, or are using the vehicle for commercial purposes. I know that California in particular has some really insane regulations regarding vehicles and their use, so what Jerry said may actually be true in that state specifically.

You mean a false demand that they created due to a few loopholes from import tariffs and climate emissions standards so they could pay less taxes on a certain class of vechiles so those larger vechiles would be the only ones they Market
I’m a general contractor and I daily drive an F-450. Got it as a chassis cab, put a contractor bed on it. Thing lives with a 2.5 ton dump trailer attached to it. On a pool deck job, I can haul 2 pallets of travertine in the truck bed, and 3 in the trailer. Or two pallets in the truck and 5 tons in the trailer.
