Farmers and ranchers generally keep their trucks for a long time. The big problem I see is all of the electronics on these new trucks are going to be a nightmare. We rarely roll up windows and baby pick up trucks on the farm. Lots of dust and junk gets in there. For 50+ grand, it's going to be interesting to see longevity. It seems obvious that they make trucks for the suburban family now instead of farmers and ranchers.
But they make trucks for most all demographics nowdays. Basic worktruck models still have manual windows and doorlocks, an very few amenities featured on those $50-100k mall crawlers.
@Alan Bowers - I call nonsense on finding a basic work truck. Sure you might be able to "build" one on a manufacturers website, but good luck finding one on a lot. Especially one with manual windows, manual transmission, and 4wd. Even if you are lucky enough to find one, knob controlled heat/ac/etc. are a thing of the past. Yes even the no option bare bones trucks WITH knobs are actually just electronically controlled. Heck even steering and gas are electronically controlled. I too, am curious to see the survival rates of these new trucks in 20 years.
JFRago5 call nonsense all you'd like, I found over a dozen completely barebones trucks from each brand near me (within 25 miles). That's only a fraction of the fleet at the dealers here, but none-the-less they are available. And sure even the HVAC is electronically controlled these days, but that doesnt mean they are any less reliable. Think about all the electronic components that have been in vehicles for decades from EFI to ABS. While nothing is guaranteed, if an issue arises it'll just be a module swap away from getting back on the road, as opposed to struggling with corroded cables or broken levers.
I never understood why people say theyre crap. The old 1st gen cummins dodges hold up just as well as the chevys and fords of tge same era. Wanna talk about crap? Gm interior turns to shit in 5 to 7 years such as any late 90s to 2007 pickups. My 07 classic Silverados interior is junk with gremlins compared to my dads 01 dodge that has over 100k miles than my chevy. Ford diesel by the way are notorious for water pump, head gasket, turbo, and much more issues for any that carry the power stroke name except the 7.3.
I live in a farming community and the average of trucks owed by each is 35% chevy 40% ford and 20% ram and 5% tundra. I have never see a titan in this town.
Squirmin Herman the one eyed German ya cummins is defiently the best diesel engine. But most of the rams are 1500 series. Still tho that 5.7L is a monster.
Squirmin Herman the one eyed German I had a 1988 ram and a 2002 f150 back in 2012 the ram is still around as a work truck. The ford was a lemon only last 4 years then i got a 2016 chevy. But I have no regrets.
Squirmin Herman the one eyed German ya the ram i have as a 5.9L magnum its no cummins but it hauls wagons of lumber with the best of them. My chevy is pretty good. It has a 5.3L v8 with a chip in it. But its more like a get around vehicle then my work truck.
Woman at approximately 5 mins says "and we don't care if we dent it anymore". That's the ticket, I miss my grandpa's old farm truck. Damn thing didn't have a straight panel on it but was reliable and punched way above its weight.
Funny thing is, I was thinking that the camera work wasn't bad for having to walk around among the folks there and getting close-ups etc. Not bad Roman,...you'll be kept on!
My Dad had a ‘92 Dodge with a Cummins, just like the one at 7:07, that he bought brand new. That truck served a lot of purposes from hauling and towing around his place, to helping get a couple of Mulies and elk out of some nasty canyons. All great memories. When he sold it, I am not ashamed to say, I got a little emotional. Funny how attached we get to trucks...
I run a cow-calf operation and run a 1994 F350 crewcab. Its got a 12 valve cummins going into it. It has an 8 foot box and gooseneck hitch and a heavy tow hitch below the back bumper. Right now it will pull a 14,000 pound net load (gross load is net plus the trailer) without too much worry. My neighbor just bought a 450 with all the options and paid $100,000 plus. Too much for me. I like my old truck, barely any electronics and heavy duty, rides a little rough so maybe some airbags in the future.
Love these lifestyle videos, it’s why I subscribe to TFL. Nearly all car reviewers follow the same formula. You guys actually present and feature the practical application of these vehicles, and show everyone just what it means to own a lifestyle oriented vehicle. Keep it up guys!
I'm a farmer (no livestock) but I do drive a 50k+ newish F150. Its also our family car so it has to do triple duty (towing / hauling / family stuff) I don't want a beater because the truck becomes our sales booth at the local farmers market. So far, its done everything we've ever asked of it, and its done it in style.But yes, lots of money for carwashes and we have to pad the interior if we're going to load boxes into the cab.
Hey GM. I want a heavy 1/2 ton 4x4. I-6 or V-8 turbo Diesel, manual trans. manual 4x4, posi gears out back, manual windows and locks. Good heat and A/C and maybe a nice stereo. Standard cab long box. Oh, and make it so it won't rust to shit in 10 years of Iowa winters. I have faith that you can do it if you want to. Thanks.
Having driven a variety of trucks in a variety of extreme situations, I can honestly say I'm glad the manual is dead in trucks. Manuals are fun, but an automatic is better suited in every way for a truck.
This is one of the coolest videos you guys have done. Seriously. Real people, real trucks. Just a little slice of everyday awesome. Frigid awesome but still awesome.
Wow really Roman??? If you wouldn't of said anything I would of never known you took this video with your phone lol guess that tells you something about the quality of these phones now days
I absolutely love that you did a follow-up to the one about cowboys. This is what I personally think pickup trucks should be used for, and I love seeing them do real work. Once again, it seems to be a game of Ram and Ford.
Those are badass trucks! I see that Bobcat at work. My dad rented a Bobcat a long time ago for a yard project at our suburban home at the time (1970's).
Lobo Garcia all modern vehicles still have computers to monitor the transmission, emissions, regulate the engine, air bags, etc. yea you can get a basic truck without power locks, windows, and all that crap but they still have hundreds of needless sensors throughout the truck that simply do not hold up to rough use.
I used to have a friend that had a '75 Dodge 3/4 ton full-time 4wd with one ton springs. He pulled a livestock trailer. We spilled a lot of beer on our shirt fronts road-drinking in that rough-riding SOB.
Dodge 318 Cummins, This model had no emissions on it and the one we had you could hear the turbo spool up and down at low speed. Very cool sound going down a slow road.
I dig the sound of the old Cummins too. I used to drive over the road full time and it sounds like a Kenworth going down the road, especially with a manual transmission.
Great video!! Alyhough I enjoy the Ike Gauntlet stuff, this was a terrific change of pace. And Mr. Truck, don't let some of these Debbie Downer comments affect you. I think you're the real deal, down to earth and a straight shooter.
Enjoyed the video .... driven by plenty of cattle auction lots, knew about livestock being auctioned, never knew about hay. Lots of alfalfa growing, never thought about bales going out of state
Nice to see there are a few real trucks left. I'm tired of what they have become. Some are all so pretty and cost more than my house did. Others are "lifted" and noisy. I call those hillbilly hot rods. Trucks used to work. Now they're just for status.
As the above said, new trucks work fine. A new f350 will kick the shit out of an old one when it comes to hauling. The problem is people generally dont want to bang up a new truck right away. At most they will end up pulling snowmobiles, boats, or maybe a camper. Rarely will they be used for heavy duty farm work.
One of the best videos you've done in the past year. Quite interesting the Hay auction and moisture content filming plus interviewing real people on their trucks, well done.
These newer trucks will be a nightmare for maintenance in the future. One sensor goes out and a whole system could be f’ed. Also I love seeing trucks be used for their purpose.
whats so funny the epa make such a big deal about emissions on diesels that vw and Chrysler got fired big time for there diesels putting out 2 much.pollution. all the newer diesel pick ups have all kinds of emissions garbage on them but they allow these big rig truck companys to sell brand new trucks from the factory and install rebuild older diesel engines and transmissions in them and operate them with no emission controls on them at all do that sound fair 2 u. they are called gliders trucks. look them up.
@@bigbossman5969 actually any newer over the road truck built and sold will comply with atleast tier 3 emissions. The only big truck that dont comply are off road but even those are now being held to the same standard if prduced after 2015 maybe earlier. Even farm equipment and construction are held to these standards nowadays. Now theres nothing illegal bout running a 97 pete with a c15 cat turned up. Although some states require an inspection especially in big city's like LA or denver where smog is present. Many companies also pay a carbon tax for how many miles or hours a engine gas operated aswell.
I had a 3/4 ton Chevy also w/454 and TH400 - the torque was unreal for a gas engine. Don't know about yours but I got around 8mpg but didn't care because gas was under a dollar.
Being a small farm we my mom just bought a 2015 Ram 2500 5.7 Hemi but whats amazing is that we have a 1996 Ford F250 7.5L/460 with 309XXX miles and it's still a kicking
In the country it’s Ford and Chevy always duking it out. Dodge screaming in the background and Toyota thinking it’s to good to be a part of the battle. Nissan is the scrawny guy that recently found steroids, got buff but still no one cares.
I’m really enjoying this series. I’d like to see you ask these ranchers what their history of trucks were (to see if they’re always buying the same brand) and ask them what their favourite thing about their truck is and what one thing they would change.
Absolutely love the new content. New trucks are great but these are the trucks which really keep the working people going. Not everyone can afford a brand new $70k truck for a work truck.
Trucks for logging, haying, and any general AG work: 1988 Chevy 2500LD 4WD, 5.7L, auto, 8200 GVWR, with Fisher 7.5' plow 1994 Ford F250 4WD, 7.5L 460, auto, 8600 GVWR, with Boss 8.5' quick mount plow 1980 F350, 4.9L I6, RWD, 4spd manual,12' Elec dump rack body (formerly 14' non dump rack body)
I own a 1999 f-250 with a 7.3 and I love the truck it has over half a million miles on it I use the thing every day for work it has a service body on it with my welder and compressor and I’ve never had such a reliable work truck I love it starts every time with no issues
This video was really interesting! I knew farmers keep their vehicles for a long time, it’s impressive that they have such low miles relatively to their years
These look like mostly hobby farmers to me. Having 5 cows and some horses doesn't make you much of a rancher. A trailer load of hay doesn't feed many cows. During the middle of winter we'll easily feed 150,000 pounds of hay a week, plus probably double that in corn silage.
It used to be "80 acres and a mule." It isn't anymore, and you must know that. My family has our sesquicentennial farm award from the state, the most active days being from the 00s-70s. Quit acting like you need 1,000+ acres to be a "real" rancher.
@@Immortalkalashnikov My truck haul 2 tons of coals almost everyday in the winter at 70 mph up north on dirt roads several hour long. I'm sorry but the Toyota we got here suck. Not sure what type of Toyota trucks they sell in Mexico though.
Reminds me of the cattle auctions I used to go to with my parents as a kid. And Kent is right---most of these sales will have some sort of cafe, and the food there is usually phenomenal. Nothing like a country fried steak or a *thick* cheeseburger at a sale barn!
I worked for an apt. moving service as a kid. We supplied the truck and they the trailer(28') and as many jobs as we could do. I worked there for 5 years putting myself thru college. This was brutal on pick up trucks. It broke a brand new 84' GMC 2500 sierra classic HD. It was trashed at 50k. Long miles loaded down and pulling a heavy trailer. We did office moves with loaded fire proof file cabinets and stuff like that, not just furniture. l learned then from the farm guys that the Fords were the true work trucks. In my pool business l used Fords.
Not a truck, but last week just south of Denton, TX, I saw a late model Cadillac sedan with Farm Plates on it. And I see an occasional (or maybe the same one over and over again) Continental pickup.
Again...all the test Vids are great, but these two most recent real world clips are really enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to the next one. Roman, grab a glove and get in the game eh..
I enjoy all the TFL Truck videos, but I love ones like this so much more. Talk about real world reviews its just real people using their trucks for real work.
Dang some of these people dont have many miles on thier trucks. I Have a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500HD 4wd annd i have 270k miles on it and it still running good.
Daniel Torquemada Jr my dad’s 99 gmc nbs k1500 has 329k with no rebuild. Got the 5.3l and he spent (Im guessing) about 1/4 to 1/3 of those miles pulling 5-10k trailers. Most he pulled was a 14k load which was a John Deere 4000 on a tilt bed 2 axle gooseneck. He has put this truck through the paces. I guess that’s why I don’t like that my grandpa drives a Ford.
From my experience they have other daily drivers and just pull those trucks out to haul stuff or they're used as a backup so they dont accumulate that many miles over the years. I myself have a 99 Astro that I only use to haul people around when they wont fit in a car or a truck and it only has about 95K miles.
We need a good bare bones truck. Things like heaters and radios should be optional. If you live in the deep south why would you buy a truck with a heater? makes sense right? or you have no use for a radio why pay for one. Somebody needs to get on this.
Eastern Explorer I'd like to see CB or Two way radios standard in trucks, you never know when you're gonna be stranded somewhere on your property and need help from a one of your workers
Eastern Explorer everyone on these pages and other forums say that, and Chevy, Ford, and Ram (then Dodge) tried that. Those trucks would sit on the lots for over a year and never be sold. My father worked at the local dealership about 20 years ago and they had a basic stripped down work truck on the lot for over a year, if I remember right, it was nearly 500 days. The dealership finally bought it and used it as a parts/shop truck. Making trucks that only a extremely small percentage of people will buy is crazy.
I think this goes to show the difference between trucks in the U.S. and Canada compared to elsewhere in the world. It's less about bed load and off-roading it's more about towing capacity, comfort for long hauls and, same as everywhere, reliability.
Thanks for watching. So what kind of trucks do real cowboys drive? Find out here: th-cam.com/video/7tdAxMyDFX4/w-d-xo.html
The Fast Lane Truck the footage turned out great. You should just by the Osmo steady cam for the iPhone and not worry about all. The gear.
It's Ford. Guaranteed.
click bait... this OP's video is mostly filling because it doesn't actually spend much time on the trucks that ranchers drive.
The Fast Lane Truck Roman: video is fine. Kent: one bail? Liliputian ponies and goats?
I like that 1st gen Cummins. Best looking truck of all time.
No $70,000 pickup trucks. Working men need affordable trucks. Automakers...are you paying attention?
That one guy said he had a brand new 2017 1 ton Dually. I'm sure depending on the options it probably ran him 50-70k for it.
You can still get single cab base model trucks, no one does though
dedalliance1 yeah, he said they were hauling show cows from state to state would suspect a few additional features to make those types of trips more comfortable
OFFRD Well, there are trucks on sale for $25,000, so apparently they are listening......Are you looking?
You cannot even touch a diesel truck for $25,000 today. Are YOU looking?
I love this video. It’s getting a behind the scene looks at Farmers and what goes on in auctions. These type of content are rarely shown anywhere
Yep never seen that.Pretty cool.
Yeah it's sad the life I grew up living is dwindling fast
Farmers and ranchers generally keep their trucks for a long time. The big problem I see is all of the electronics on these new trucks are going to be a nightmare. We rarely roll up windows and baby pick up trucks on the farm. Lots of dust and junk gets in there. For 50+ grand, it's going to be interesting to see longevity. It seems obvious that they make trucks for the suburban family now instead of farmers and ranchers.
But they make trucks for most all demographics nowdays. Basic worktruck models still have manual windows and doorlocks, an very few amenities featured on those $50-100k mall crawlers.
Brad Conklin My best friend and I call it “Trophy Trucks”

Many companies also pay a carbon tax for how many miles or hours a engine gas operated aswell.
The 007 that has been the case since the mid to late 80s. The early ECMs on trucks and cars were nightmares compared to modern ones.
Easily one of my most favorite videos you've done!
I love that gren 2nd gen Cummins 24 valve 2001. Short bed and king cab. Nice! The sound of that engine is the best! I love loud 5.9s and 7.3s
Best work truck I ever had was a 1974 GMC Camper Special, crew cab 8 ft bed. 454 w/ TH400. Damn thing would pull your house off the foundation.
I had a 3/4 ton Chevy also w/454 and TH400 - the torque was unreal for a gas engine. Don't know about yours but I got around 8mpg but didn't care because gas was under a dollar.
Always love TFL! Thanks for all your great videos!
2001 7.3 powerstroke, 190k miles but still going strong
Only good truck fords made.
Hey great video! Felt very wholesome and fun. Great way to invoke interest in this kinda thing again.
Being a small farm we my mom just bought a 2015 Ram 2500 5.7 Hemi but whats amazing is that we have a 1996 Ford F250 7.5L/460 with 309XXX miles and it's still a kicking
A 95? Thats odd I thought he was mr truck should know.
Jay H at least he ran into someone who knew as much about truck he was looking at as he did with that Dodge
Jay H at least he wasn't too far off the year of the first gen.
Mr Truck got her number off camera LOL 😂😂
Haha that's what I was thinking cause any truck guy knows they didn't make that body till 99
I feel like he doesn’t know much about trucks
I'm still pullin' with a '94 7.3 turbo stroke. 5 spd. manual. Has not let me down.
In the country it’s Ford and Chevy always duking it out. Dodge screaming in the background and Toyota thinking it’s to good to be a part of the battle. Nissan is the scrawny guy that recently found steroids, got buff but still no one cares.
@@ethanphillips2164 Now that's bullshit, I live in canada and mostly drive Ford
One of the cool things about TH-cam, seeing vidoes of things you don't normally get too see.
Love it. I work with farmers/ranchers every day, and this is spot on.
Y'all need to get in touch with peterbuilt, kentworth, and other semi truck brands and do challenges with them
You are an awesome guy for incorporating 4h/ffa into this thx mr truck
Great video and you did good with the film quality, thanks for sharing.
Awesome video! You need to do more like this. Wish I was there with you and Mr. Truck, that Chicken fried steak looked amazing.
Yes, next time I want meatloaf. Meatloaf and Chicken Fried Steak are how I judge country cafe's
Mr. Truck I totally agree!
I’m really enjoying this series. I’d like to see you ask these ranchers what their history of trucks were (to see if they’re always buying the same brand) and ask them what their favourite thing about their truck is and what one thing they would change.
Absolutely love the new content. New trucks are great but these are the trucks which really keep the working people going. Not everyone can afford a brand new $70k truck for a work truck.
Great job Roman, the video quality seemed just fine to me. Love the videos. Rarely do you see these kind of videos on the interwebs.
Trucks for logging, haying, and any general AG work:
1988 Chevy 2500LD 4WD, 5.7L, auto, 8200 GVWR, with Fisher 7.5' plow
1994 Ford F250 4WD, 7.5L 460, auto, 8600 GVWR, with Boss 8.5' quick mount plow
1980 F350, 4.9L I6, RWD, 4spd manual,12' Elec dump rack body (formerly 14' non dump rack body)
These are the videos I really enjoy . Think a lot of us do . Good camera work had to be Roman filming it lol
Didn't even realized it was shot with a phone... Great work!!
Never even noticed it was on a phone till the end.. you did very well with it. Video was just fine to me!
Love these series keep them going
Very informative, never knew how those auctions worked . Another great video and subject .
I own a 1999 f-250 with a 7.3 and I love the truck it has over half a million miles on it I use the thing every day for work it has a service body on it with my welder and compressor and I’ve never had such a reliable work truck I love it starts every time with no issues
Loving the vid👍great info on bales and pretty good views on camera phone. My favourite truck was Dodge, those hubs were massive.
"Mr. Truck" doesn't know Chevy body styles. He knew the Dodge body styles right away. Must not be a Chevy guy.
I knew the Ford too, Chevy's are harder to remember, I've owned many of them
Can you blame him?? He knows about WORKING trucks! Lol.
This video was really interesting! I knew farmers keep their vehicles for a long time, it’s impressive that they have such low miles relatively to their years
Cool video, love learning about different things. Thanks guys!
These look like mostly hobby farmers to me. Having 5 cows and some horses doesn't make you much of a rancher. A trailer load of hay doesn't feed many cows. During the middle of winter we'll easily feed 150,000 pounds of hay a week, plus probably double that in corn silage.
well you also wouldn't go to these kinds of auctions i'd imagine, you'd buy bulk directly from the producer
It used to be "80 acres and a mule." It isn't anymore, and you must know that. My family has our sesquicentennial farm award from the state, the most active days being from the 00s-70s. Quit acting like you need 1,000+ acres to be a "real" rancher.
I'm just a goat herder but I go thru 500lbs of hay in two weeks. 😝
Farmers in Mexico haul lime harvest through some of the harshest terrain in nothing but old Toyota 4x4 pickups. Fords don’t last over there.
@@Immortalkalashnikov My truck haul 2 tons of coals almost everyday in the winter at 70 mph up north on dirt roads several hour long. I'm sorry but the Toyota we got here suck. Not sure what type of Toyota trucks they sell in Mexico though.
This is cool...part of America and it's people that many don't know about. Mr. Truck sure knows his stuff!!
Thanks
Reminds me of the cattle auctions I used to go to with my parents as a kid. And Kent is right---most of these sales will have some sort of cafe, and the food there is usually phenomenal. Nothing like a country fried steak or a *thick* cheeseburger at a sale barn!
My favorite ranch trucks are the 87 Chevy 2 door 8 foot bed. And the 07 Chevy duramax crew cab. Bed stacks
I worked for an apt. moving service as a kid. We supplied the truck and they the trailer(28') and as many jobs as we could do. I worked there for 5 years putting myself thru college. This was brutal on pick up trucks. It broke a brand new 84' GMC 2500 sierra classic HD. It was trashed at 50k. Long miles loaded down and pulling a heavy trailer. We did office moves with loaded fire proof file cabinets and stuff like that, not just furniture. l learned then from the farm guys that the Fords were the true work trucks. In my pool business l used Fords.
I have a ford f 250 1976 and it still is fine for a work truck it was restored in the 90s. My grandfather bought it new
I loved this video. Hello from down the road in Longmont, Colorado.
Hey
Not a truck, but last week just south of Denton, TX, I saw a late model Cadillac sedan with Farm Plates on it. And I see an occasional (or maybe the same one over and over again) Continental pickup.
Again...all the test Vids are great, but these two most recent real world clips are really enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to the next one. Roman, grab a glove and get in the game eh..
I enjoy all the TFL Truck videos, but I love ones like this so much more. Talk about real world reviews its just real people using their trucks for real work.
I love these type of videos. You guys did 4 and I'd like to see a 5th.
Mr. Truck is #1 by far!!! He is the MAN!
Thanks,
Dang some of these people dont have many miles on thier trucks. I Have a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500HD 4wd annd i have 270k miles on it and it still running good.
Daniel Torquemada Jr my dad’s 99 gmc nbs k1500 has 329k with no rebuild. Got the 5.3l and he spent (Im guessing) about 1/4 to 1/3 of those miles pulling 5-10k trailers. Most he pulled was a 14k load which was a John Deere 4000 on a tilt bed 2 axle gooseneck. He has put this truck through the paces. I guess that’s why I don’t like that my grandpa drives a Ford.
From my experience they have other daily drivers and just pull those trucks out to haul stuff or they're used as a backup so they dont accumulate that many miles over the years. I myself have a 99 Astro that I only use to haul people around when they wont fit in a car or a truck and it only has about 95K miles.
Such a wholesome video about trucks and hay
This was a great video actually! Hell I never knew there was a such thing as a hay auction. Cool
You guys need to do more of these types of videos. Real world people. Real world trucks.
For a phone that’s great video and audio
Video quality was good! Nice video
We need a good bare bones truck. Things like heaters and radios should be optional. If you live in the deep south why would you buy a truck with a heater? makes sense right? or you have no use for a radio why pay for one. Somebody needs to get on this.
Eastern Explorer I'd like to see CB or Two way radios standard in trucks, you never know when you're gonna be stranded somewhere on your property and need help from a one of your workers
I think all auto manufacturer should have one bare bones car and one bare bones truck. Manual transmission, manual 4x4, manual windows and locks
Eastern Explorer everyone on these pages and other forums say that, and Chevy, Ford, and Ram (then Dodge) tried that. Those trucks would sit on the lots for over a year and never be sold. My father worked at the local dealership about 20 years ago and they had a basic stripped down work truck on the lot for over a year, if I remember right, it was nearly 500 days. The dealership finally bought it and used it as a parts/shop truck. Making trucks that only a extremely small percentage of people will buy is crazy.
hey that was a great video. i like seeing actual working trucks. and the low miles!! wow
I'm from Fort Lauderdale and i don't know a thing about farms or ranches but i find this quite interesting and entertaining... XD
I think this goes to show the difference between trucks in the U.S. and Canada compared to elsewhere in the world. It's less about bed load and off-roading it's more about towing capacity, comfort for long hauls and, same as everywhere, reliability.
Great trucks dodge ram, chevy silverado ford f 150 great video like it great 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
love these videos for some reason.
Learned more about hay then what trucks farmers drive.
Roman I had no idea that this was recorded off your phone until you said it at the end! Haha
Best video to date! Well done.
