✅ About this Video:
In today's video, we are kicking it off with a trip to Bob Moses Ceramic Coating in Phoenix, Arizona. We absolutely love the shine and protection that the ceramic coating provides, and the guys over at Bob Moses do it better than anybody else! That's why we drove all the way back to get another one of our vehicles coated. After that, we are going to give you five reasons we love and hate our new 2024 Ford F450 Limited. Don't get us wrong, we love the truck, but there are a few things we would change if we could. If you're interested in a new truck, watch this first.

We build these. I work at KTP Ford. I am an inspector in pre-delivery and I am so proud watching this video of the product we produce!
Thank you 🙏 n KTP 4 building n producing the American 🇺🇸 best Heavy Duty pick up truck ever the Ford Super Truck
I just pickup up my 2025 king ranch f450. On 1/3/25
Truck looks great I have a 23 f450 platinum and I love it . Went with the 23 because it’s the 75th anniversary year . Also I’m a paint expert for over 20 years and I can assure u they measured your paint for no reason and kinda rubs me the wrong way with there intentions. I say that because there applying a coating on the truck not sanding it and removing material literally no reason to measure the mils of paint on there . But it sure looks cool when they use a fancy mil gage. Measure the same spots and they’ll b exactly the same or even more with the “ceramic” coating on it
Super helpful to actually see the turn radius. That's been one of my biggest concerns on getting an 8 foot bed as I like going up forest service roads that often have tight switchbacks. Seeing the actual turn from above helps me visualize capabilities.
I have a 23 f450 & the turning radius is amazing.
@RobertEdwards-q6t great to hear! I keep debating on bed length, but very much leaning 8 foot, given the turn radius. Thanks for sharing your real world experience!
@@AdventuresWithSpencer 8ft bed is all you get with 450. Cab size is the only option on frame length
The turning radius was the primary reason I got my '19 F-450 Platinum over the F-350. I sacrifice some daily driving mileage, but being able to park everywhere every day, with less hassle is worth it! I have a 46' 20k toy hauler. I have a friend that has a similar setup with an F-350. While towing, we get almost identical mileage, but he gets a couple extra mpg's running empty on the highway.
Thanks for the intel @@OOMAN
2months now having 2024 F450 Platinum HO in Antimatter Blue. I agree about everything you said. Also my first Ford.
Congrats on the purchase! Love the blue!
If you downshift and keep your rpm in the correct range to keep your egt’s down then your engine temps will stay cooler and the fan will not kick on like that. If you drive it like a car then it’s going to kick that fan on because your egt’s are getting too high. Somewhere between 1,800-2,300 is the sweet spot of you don’t have a gauge. Highly recommend the the Banks idash guage. This will keep your regens down as well and less strain on that diesel engine.
There’s a way to get your regens down to zero as well also while increasing power and mileage!

I have a 2013 F-450 Platinum Kodiak Brown and I absolutely love it. It has the best turning radius of any super duty truck on the road. The only thing I don't like about it is the smaller fuel tank which they fixed in the new trucks. And especially the cheap plastic wheel covers that dry rot in the sun and then pop off going down interstate. I pull a 40' 5th wheel RV that has a gross of about 21K. It pulls it effortlessly whether driving flat our up the hills of Colorado. As for tires, my truck came with the BF Goodrich and they are amazing tires for ride and comfort. However they are also soft and you won't get ore than about 35K miles out of them. As for the increased noice towing up and down hills, that is part of the engines functionality. It is necessary in order to protect the longevity of the engine.
I agree about how loud the fan is while towing uphill.
I do love the Limiteds buddy of mine has a lifted 2024 f450 limited and it's sick. 6'10 and he just fits in it perfectly. He drove a 2015 f450 in high school as well too. Them 450s are something else and I myself drove a F150 limited back in high school. Such beautiful trucks man.
It is great that you waited 16 months. I first had F450 Limited white ordered on early 2022. After waiting for about 13 months, i pulled out and got 2023 Ram 3500 DRW White Limited HO 6.7 , 4.1 Night Edition. Ram has less drama with TPMS, rear air bags, more quiet interior. Ford had very loud fan and engine noise during the accelerations. Ram sucks on cameras compare to my last Ford 2020 F350 DRW 6.7 LWB Lariat. It is hard to see out, and I don't trust the camera's to get me out of the tight spot. For Ram's I don't have to worry about adding the TPMS, Rear air bags, Centramatic.... which is the good thing.. I did the whole truck PPF instead of the ceramics.. It costs more, but after few years, it will definitely protect the truck from the rock chips and other damages. I also did the ceramic tint including the windshields, and clear 3M protection on headlight/fog light to protect it from chipping and fading. Your truck looks great and thank you for the wonderful video. Price for both trucks are identical. I chose no moon roof for my Ram.. to prevent future water leak issue.. Ram gets around 15.5-16.5 on Highway at about 72 mph.. For heavy payload/ MT driving, I get around 14.5 mph combined mpg.. I did purchase 8 yr 125k mile extend warranty.. Ram is slower than Ford, but it is fast enough for me.. 6 speed is behind its time. I did hear Ram is coming out with 8 speed. But for the long run, 6 speed Aisin 4.1 may out last them all. I have zero issues with the Ram other than 17" tires.
That’s weird I drove a new ram and it was way noisier inside than the new Fords. Heck the new Ram was slower and louder than my 2015 F350 diesel!
That's a great idea using the bright broken projected light to camoflage imperfections. Combined with your low F stop manual setting the result looks amazing. The video I mean.
Thanks!.... I think 🤔
Totally agree on the 19.5” tires. They suck, and you have to use commercial tires shops. DEF, when not towing, mine sips DEF, start towing a heavy RV and it drinks it. Seems like the new 6.7 HO is even worse. Fan, all of my 6.7’s have done that. I bet the HO needs even more cooling.
Wow, This a truck is incredible
Thanks.. we love it!
Hell yes, it’s the best truck ever made! We got ours 3 weeks ago in Norfolk (Star White/Platinum).
Nice!!!! Congrats.
I have a 23 F-450 King Ranch HO diesel. Will smoke the tires off it quickly. Lol
Sorry, l will stick with the Cummins. But your happy and
That's all that counts. Thanks for the tour.
What year
Yup, same.
Cummins has been crap the last four years plus they still have tiny cabs
@@JoshuaOverman what year do you have? I don't know how much more room you need but the HD trucks have plenty of cab.
Night and day difference in the cab space between the Ford and Ram.
I bet some new, two sized wider, 245mm tires with the same profile as stock all around would look great on this F450 Dually. I never cared for the skinny looking 225's it comes with. I do like the larger wheels vs the F-350 Dually. The tires just need to be wider IMO.
The turn radius is probably the single best reason to buy an F450 vs an F350. The worst part of buying an F450 is Ford's insistence on putting those stupid 19.5" wheels and commercial-grade rocks...I mean tires...on it. Absolutely no reason not to put 20" alloys on there with regular consumer-grade tires and make the 19.5"/rocks an option for those who really want/need it. Even with better commercial tires than what normally come on it OEM, ride quality is still going suffer because they're at 80psi. With consumer-grade tires, you could probably run 50-60psi and enjoy a much better ride. Essentially, you're talking about spending $10K replacing the wheels and tires on a brand new truck just to get a decent ride out of it. Which starts to make the F350 look better and better.
Love the truck! It looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. --Jen
Thanks guys!
Your truck looks amazing, I have the same truck just in platinum. Black too! Beautiful trucks
I just ordered a F450:Lariat ultimate in star white with Baja interior, hope to get it this year! Turning radius is what sold me.
Amazing turn radius!! Early congrats
I have 24 350 dually lariat trim black as well with ho . I had a 21 with standard 6.7 never even heard the fan. This one sounds like a jet taking off. I love my truck so far had it since march now Aug. Only has 2,200 miles basically only use it for towing. Sometimes think I should have went 450 but I love what I have. You have a beautiful truck.
2022 F450 King Ranch. Best truck i have ever owned. 46k miles so far. If you double tap the traction contol button, you will get Sport Mode. Fells like it locks the convertor in the lower gears and the truck reall rips from a stop.
I/we would NEVER buy a black truck but it looks AMAZING!!
Thank you. Love a black truck!!
@@1StrangeAdventureobviously that’s Derrick responding. He needs Jesus…and Bob Moses.
😂😂😂😂
Agree the best truck. We have a 2023 F450.
You can easily prep and apply a ceramic leather treatment... Some of the best is by Geyon
My 24 F-450 HO does the exact same thing with the DEF gauge and warning. The tank is TINY!! Why they gave us 48 gallon fuel tank and a 5 ish gallon DEF, I will never know. I own one of these things and I still watched your video! Might find a button/feature I missed! Thank you!!
Well, the RAM had 3 gallons so this is an upgrade, lol. I just don’t understand why it tells me to refill at 3/4 of a tank. I would understand if it was below a quarter. 🤔
@@1StrangeAdventureinteresting. Our Ram has the small def tank and it’s over 5 gallons. The other RAM models have almost 6 gallons.
I wish my RAM 3500 longbed had the 50 gallon fuel tank.
The def tank is 7.5 , my buddies Regagade super c is only 6 gals.
My 22 F-350 DRW was 12!! What the heck!? It also used much less than the 24 H.O. does. Just goofy.
It's use more DEF because it does far less regens than the older 6.7s.
About 8 months and 15k miles ago I received my order for a 2024 F350 SRW 6.7 HO Platnium Tremor in Black. I wanted a Tremor and Platinum was it, they don’t offer Tremors in Limited trim for some reason. I would have gone with a DRW Truck but I like car washes and also no Tremor option. I am very jealous of your turning radius!! We have right at 4k miles of towing our 2024 Brinkley Z3610, fully loaded for a week long trip we are right at 18k pounds pretty much maxing out my GVWR, Payload, and GAWR. Pulling wise we have a lot of room about 4k pounds. I added air bags to level up the truck, it helped dramatically with “chucking” on certain concrete roads. I get 16mpg around town and only driving highway I get 20mpg but towing the Brinkley at 75mph I get 9.7mpg. I absolutely LOVE this truck, it’s my first Diesel truck.
sounds like a great setup! The turn radius is amazing for sure and unmatched by any other truck out there. How are you liking your Brinkley? We've heard great things about them.
That is a sharp looking truck. I just wish GM offered something like that in their 4500 line. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks brother 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Appreciate the support!
Would love to know a budget $ for ceramic coating. And how well does it wash up? Not like you can run it through a car wash.
Thanks for comments - looking to move up to a F-450 next year. DEF on my 2022 F_350 6.7L Ford - DEF use will vary based on use - when towing out 5th wheel will regen more and use a lot more DEF - will call or DEF sooner - so if your last use was towing, it will call for more, even if not towing - as it is basing estimate on your prior use. Over time it will level out and when not towing my guage will go down to about a quarter before giving a reminder. It learns as you gain miles. But no question when hit tow haul and add a big load - bring extra DEF - burned 12 gallons in 2,000 miles towing a 16,800 lb. 5th wheel.
You should look into sportschassis trucks. Too many differences in your favor to type out all the info here.
Great video! I have the identical truck, except 2023. Question, since the truck doesn't have the TPMS, did you install an aftermarket TPMS? And how about tire valve extenders for the rear tires? Thanks.
Yeah when I have my trailer connected the DEF range goes way down
Ram 3500 with Aisin& Cummins beats this
That's what we traded in on this. I can tell you that they both have pros and cons but the Ford wins.
How much did it cost to get the whole truck ceramic coated? I'm guessing several thousand dollars.
What’s the cost roughly to ceramic coat this truck, without paint correction. . Going to get mine done just curious
Great review of the truck! It looks amazing!
Beautiful truck and powerful. Expensive as hell and with all the smog crap will never run as well as it could. Won’t last as long either. I’ll stick with my studded, bypassed, chipped, tuned, bagged, exhaust, AVd out, beutiful leather and pulls better than when it was new. The money I put into rebuilding, painting is still far less than the 125K the new ford KR would set me back.
We love our 22 Platinum F350 dually. I also wish engine exhaust was stronger. Ours also is loud on long steep climbs. The one thing I hate is while driving with exhaust brake on in town driving it will downshift to 1st gear with a bang coming to a stop.
I come from 2020 F350 6.7 DRW.. to 2023 Ram 2500 HO 6.7.. Engine break is night and day differences. Ram is also very quiet. You are lucky to have F350, not F450.. F450 is cool, but you have to do lot more work and check with tires, no TPMS, tire imbalances. They are all great truck though...
I heard the Firestone Tires for the F450 are much better than the Continental tires. I 100% agree on the chimes. it's the worst thing about Ford.
How much was the ceramic coating?
Great episode, on the Conti 'commercial' tires, would reducing the air pressure help? Obviously not in the rear but the front??
Great video!! Just bought my f450!! Wanted to ask what model truck bed cover you have? Thanks!!
Very cool video. I have a question about towing capacities and according to Ford TOWING charts I was wondering why you did prefer the 450 when the 350 has higher ccc and 5th wheel towing. F350: GCWR 45600; axle ration 4:10 5th wheel 34700; payload 4973 compared to F450: GCWR 43500; axle ration 4:30 5th wheel 31900; payload 4473.
Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
Thanks for watching
Ford trucks ❤
Love it!
very nice
Beautiful truck❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Really love your truck
Thanks! The more we drive it the more we love it!
Back in 2004 we bought a BLACK XJ8 Jaguar and I spent all my time trying to keep the exterior clean! Just a little bit of dirt on it made it look filthy! We will never again own a black vehicle of any type!
I owned a 2018 black f450 limited and will never own a black truck again. I now own a 2024 f350 dually rapid red king ranch HO and I waited when ordered it for 11 months. It has the max recline seats and massage and a whole lotta stuff. This is my 3rd ford truck and king ranch has the best interior and very unique. The rapid red with bronze in the sun is crazy and very shiny has like pearls in it and everyone that sees it in person always comment on the paint.
😱 where did you film the review? That place looks amazing!
Gunnison, Colorado. Beautiful!
Okay, okay, this is a family channel. Quit talking about Fords. Just kidding. I'm really a fan of the interior. The leather seats in person are awesome. Great 2-tone color.
You know you love the truck content ;)
I test drove a GMC with the Duramax before buying my F350 DRW with 6.7 and the exhaust brake was night and day better then the Ford. But in 21 the Denali vs. the King Ranch was nowhere near the look and features so I went with the Ford.
I don't know why Ford continues to put drive tires on the front. They don't make it 25k miles, because they check so bad and snap belts. Get those front tires changed to steer tires soon.
For as many times you said bob-m you would expect to share what you paid for the ceramic coating
You have a large Momentum like us. I like a lot about the ford. However, I’m concerned about the weight of our Momentum. I added MORryde 8K IS to my rig and I can feel that added weight. I’m in a RAM 3500 and was a little worried about the added weight but have got comfortable with it. Since you have owed both, how would you compare weight handling with the F450?
Both handle the weight really well. With that said, I love our truck and will not be going back to RAM.
Daily driving a f450 in the city ummm not a good idea parking spots are small
On another note... I did enjoy the video, gave it a like and put it into my F350 & F450 Dually playlist, but... I must have said to my screen get out of the way, why am I staring at this guy blocking the truck like 10 times lol. You seem really cool, but man, way too much of yourself in the video. If you fix that, you'd have some of the best videos on youtube IMO. Nothing personal, just constructive criticism.
Always looking for feedback. Appreciate it!
Diesel Ford Super Duty truck is the best 2024 Heavy Duty truck n Diesel truck good ole American 🇺🇸 made
Hey get with Arod powerstroketechtalk he is awesome wealth of knowledge for the ford 6.7.
I'll take a look - thanks!
Have you searched for other brand tires after your stocks wear out?
Yes! These tires will last a while but they are about as hard as the flintstone's tires... lol
🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No vehicle EVER was worth a 16 month wait
my 08 450 lariat went 138,000 miles on the original brakes and 100,000 miles on the orignal continentals. Nothing tows like them - the rest are a cartoon by comparison
Awesome truck and if you have to funds to swap them every time warranty runs out you’ll be fine but wait until that counter balanced powerstroke gets out of alignment he will go RUNNING back to the Cummins. There isn’t a turning radius, or piece of tech more valuable than motor reliability especially on the open road. There is a reason ALL semi trucks are straight sixes.
Beautiful truck too bad It don’t get fuel mileage like the ram
It has a bigger rear than the RAM so the gearing isn’t helping.
You're not pulling an RV you're pulling a camper RVs are self-propelled
Not sure that’s accurate. An RV, or recreational vehicle, is a vehicle that is designed for temporary living quarters for camping, travel, or seasonal use. RVs can be motorhomes, campervans, travel trailers, or truck campers.
My dealer told me to wait 30 days after build date to do anything to the coat? Mine was built 6/30 picked it up 7/5.
Probably a good rule to go by. Ours was built in January.
What did it do, 5 seconds and I'm out
dang... you missed the best part
lol bold statement for someone that hasn’t even owned one for years lol people think they have a good opinion to share he’s suck the F D well whatever these reviews are worthless they absolutely mean nothing sounds like he’s trying to sell you one and not reviewing for the good of people and how the problems still are huge recalls all the time.
Not sure how I can sell one since I have nothing to gain by you buying one. Just trying to give my honest opinion based on my experience. Appreciate the feedback!
The bed & bumper steps look absolutely horrible
Best update they could have made for RVers. Thanks for watching!
How is it a 2024 when you orderes 16 months ago. Thats ridiculous
Ordered the truck in October of 2022. 16 months later, 2024. 🙂
Well, I thought you reordered, and with a different dealer...Brandon. That really doesn't count as 16 months I think. Also, your video mentions being glad you chose the HO motor. The Limited only comes with the HO motor. So glad you guys got it, she's beautiful.
Can't wait for our Platinum to come in. We got the same options, but wanted the Antimatter blue...which for some reason isn't available for the Limiteds. Plus we like the black interior.
@AmJaxineer we waited 16 months from the time we decided to buy a Ford to delivery. Actually had 3 orders at one point. 😉
So does it come as a 2024 after a year or does it stay a 2023?
KUTGW
Thanks!
I’ll give you ten to quit
ummm.... ten? that's it?
@@1StrangeAdventure my bad, wrong comment for here. meant to go elsewhere
