This 7.3 Medium Duty may not have the same grunt as the optional 6.7 Powerstroke, but I would argue this gasser is more reliable for the owners who purchase them, with less likely the chance of being stranded due to emissions after-treatment components failing. Also, overall lower cost of ownership. Easier to maintain. It's also a great payload truck...weighs less than the 6.7 diesel, but still has the 19,500 GVWR. Can't tow as much as the 6.7, but not everyone needs to tow 15,000+ with a dump.
It'll be popular. With all of the emissions problems on the modern diesels, I wouldn't even consider one. You can let this idle all day with the heat or AC on and won't have to worry about messing up the emissions equipment. And what can go wrong with it? A single injector on a modern diesel is not cheap ... and forget thinking about replacing any emissions components for under 5 figures
I used to haul 2000Lbs of Coal on my 1998 Toyota Tacoma with a 2.7L 4 Cylinder so this isn't very impressive.. I'm sure this truck could handle 10,000LBS easily
My 1982 pickup has hauled 5060 lbs of crushed rock. Went down the road like everything was normal. My Chevy is a 3/4 ton with the 8600 GVW rating. Like the other guy said, I would expect to haul at least 3 ton.
Thank you for a awesome video. Finally a review of a working commercial super duty. These are the trucks that have built North America and the world. A review of the new F 600 would be appreciated. Maybe a side by side with a 550.
The F-600 would be ideal for those that have a full dump bed while still needing to pull a trailer with up to 3k lbs on the hitch. It' s a good name. The consumer F-450 (14k gvwr) should have been called an F-400.
Yeah they told you wrong on the empty weight for sure! That truck empty with the box on is 10,500lbs max. With the load you had in it you may have been 14,500 gross not 18,000. Nice video but the 2 way dump was killing me!!! Gravity down is so much faster than the pump down!! That about drives me nuts. Takes about a minute to get the bed back down! Lol!
I think the F-550 has the same wide track front axle as the F-450? That really makes a difference in the turning radius, on top of the new steering system.
Andre.. that f550 weighs about 11k not 14k they purposely told you it weighed more than it did so they only put 4,000 on so it felt like it drove amazing. I weighed these trucks in that configuration and even with a diesel they weigh about 11,500 so with a gas being a thousand pounds less it's probably around 10,500.
I regularly load 3-4 yards or 7500-10000 pounds of rock in my works 2001 f450 with 300k miles on it. Wanted to see what this truck would do with that kind of weight.
TFL >>> A question for you Andre ... have you noticed, and do you know, if the F-450 and above ~F-550 ~etc are lifted? They appear taller than other SuperDutys. Is it just an illusion because of the narrow tires on the duallies or is there something really there? Thank you, great video.
The dump body has a gridwork of rectangular tubing below it that then sits on top of the trucks frame, you basically have atleast 4 inches of dump body tubing height sitting on top of the trucks normal frame... then add in 20” wheels and tires plus super stiff leaf springs and you get a taller looking truck
Love the review of the Dump truck I wish you would do highway run with a gas and Diesel with say 6000lbs in the bed and go a mpg comparison. Maybe add a 14,000lb trailer behind and do that gauntlet mountain run with it as well to compare the various dump trucks. I had a hard time making a decision on a new F550 dump truck today and ended up going gas over diesel, but some performance and economy number in a review might have made that a easy decision. I hated how Ford neutered the Powerstroke in the chassis trucks and really took its big power advantage away making the Godzilla a more attractive option if you don't use it a lot and want to keep pricing down.
Great review. I always picture a camper on the back of those medium-duty trucks. Any of the medium duties have rear air suspension or full air suspension options from the factory? Are fleets more likely to spec the 6.2 V8 over the 7.3 V8? Some were speccing the V10 maybe the 7.3 will fill a niche for heavier hauling or the doesn't want to get passed by an old VW bus going uphill crowd?
Proof that all boys love playing in a super sized sand box,..I know i would like that too. Nice truck, but the speed of that electro-hydraulic dump system is waaaay too slow, at least it would be for me. I thought the F-550 could or does have a PTO option for it's transmission. I'd prefer to have a full hydraulic PTO driven hydraulic dump. ( but it sure beats shoveling it out by hand )
I have a 2005 gmc 3500 stakebed duramax. I usually haul anywhere from 2 to 5 tons in the bed. I would think this F550 would haul alot more than my truck ?
I would love to one day see an SRW 450 , 550, and 600. There are a couple of outfits doing conversions with 41 inch tires but I would have to think it could also be done with 35s or 37s as well. If these after market outfitters can pull it off , why can’t Ford ? At least offer it as an option? I would think such a configuration would sell well.
ferrariteddy , it’s subjective to be sure , but it depends on your use. I do a lot of turkey hunting in southern Mississippi during the spring. Our roads down here have a way of turning to mush after a rain and drw will get badly caked very quickly. I carry about 3500 lbs with my camper plus stuff and I have always thought it would be nice to have more payload capacity with an srw rig.
Don't let the boss see you having so much fun at work. After all we don't want him to forget that you might need a pay raise sometime. On a side note hopefully someday you can explain more thoroughly the difference between consumer and work tuning/dyno. It never crossed my mind that their would be that much of a difference. I would have thought that for something like that they would need some pretty good power.
I like this truck! It looks just right, that big v8 rumble sounds right, and that very sharp wheel cut let’s it turn like it should. The only thing I would change is the color. Make it highway truck orange with the black trim it currently has. Those square shouldered tires and wheels on the front with their wide stance just flat out works.
All our trucks are white now. Saved a couple hundred in ordering and fetches a better price in the resale auctions. Nickels and dimes really, but I do prefer the white.
Most likely less, pretty much all medium duty an up trucks an chassis cabs are de-tuned... witch i think is stupid.... they say they do that for reliability an longevity an less maintenance costs
Interesting! -- QUESTION -- Your explanation for the different power rating for commercial vs consumer engine is a bit confusing. At first it was that there are different rating requirements but you make is sound like they are the same power but, for silly reasons, they announce a different number because they count it differently. I don't think that is correct - the engines are actually producing different power in a real sense and they do this for practical reasons (which you never explain).
Nice truck! I have 2008F 450 with a 6.4 diesel and I love it! And it is definitely a work truck, we will haul up to 8000 pounds of material on the truck or pulling A trailer with skid loader weighing approximately 14,000 pounds and it pulls it absolutely no problem! Would love to check out that new 550 with the 10 speed transmission!
Is it me or this truck is already lower in the back empty. And how come they put a 9foot body and never pushed the axle back. Those chassis axle spaces are set up for 8 foot beds
Literally 4 scoops of a mini skid steer and you maxed out? My old silverado dually can do that 4000lbs with a 250k mile 6.0 ls clapped out and still get the job done.
Man, if that were me, I'd revert to being a 6 year old playing with my Tonka truck. I just know I'd be making vroom vroom and beep beep noises while driving.
Very interesting. I wasn't aware a gas engine was available on a F550. Glad to see they did something about the turning radius. We own numerous F350"s and the radius is horrible. Any idea if the F550's with gas motors are available in Canada?
Our fleet of 550s and 5500s has slowly become all gassers. Cheaper upfront cost and they last long enough now we can send them to auction when they hit their age/mileage limit. Sadly that means we have to fight a bit to have 1 or 2 diesels in the fleet for serious towing. Having that engine braking is nice.
It can i put 14000 pounds of dirt in a 1999 f450. It felt like a water bed going down the road. Go thing i only had to go 2 miles. I wanted to get the job done.
Yea I was mentioning that I have put over 4000lbs in the back of my 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 without any problems, the ford guys got their panties in a bunch LMAO
@@jonallsop6268 I had a 1975 C10, heavy half with a spring job in the back to 12 leafs. That could go 3500 once in a while. The GMC C35 I had after that was much better with the weight. It had a 14 bolt full floating axle and E rated tires.
The thing does not weight 14,000 empty. I have a 5500 ram Cummins regular cab 11 ft dump bed and empty weight is 11,000 this benign regular cab 9ft bed and gas motor it’s no more than 10,500. And 4000lbs it’s nothing on a 5 series truck I haul 5 ton 10,000 lbs in my ram and it doesn’t struggle with the Cummins.
4,000= 2 tons! Go back and load the truck please! The people around here put 4-5 tons on not 2b look at the gvwr!! Thank you for trying though! Love the channel
What dump truck do you have that weighs 76,000 empty? Obviously you're not driving this on the street? Can't go over 80,000 gross on-road...so to be legal you can only carry 4,000 lbs. according to your math.
A few things you could pass on to ford if you would. I own several f550s . Things they need to consider changing. The first thing. Is the wheel studs. Use bigger studs. I have broken a lot of them and know of many others that have had then break to the point of the wheels coming off. A straight rail frame don’t taper it over the rear axle. Raise the height of the frame from the ground. Raise the cab 6 inch’s. This would help with a couple things. When you have to work under it and help get it up so it’s somewhat out of the salt zone. And it would free up some space around the pto. And pump. And a real parking break. My 550s get worked hard and stand up pretty well. If ford really wants to test one let me have it for the winter plowing roads
Junk. I got two GM 1 ton dumps from the sqaure body era. My 76 GMC weighs in at at around 6000lbs. 10k gvw so i can haul 4k no issues and do all the time. I don't have the power but i have the gearing. Ol SM465 granny gear moves anything. Electric over hydraulic is SLOW. I would have that dumped and bed down in way less time. Mechanical PTO will dump anything. Oh it cost $2500. How much is this Ford?
Andre always seems like a kid in a candy store when he gets to drive a big truck
I'm wondering if Andre has his CDL yet? Then he could drive the really big trucks! You know he wants to. ;)
This 7.3 Medium Duty may not have the same grunt as the optional 6.7 Powerstroke, but I would argue this gasser is more reliable for the owners who purchase them, with less likely the chance of being stranded due to emissions after-treatment components failing.

Can't tow as much as the 6.7, but not everyone needs to tow 15,000+ with a dump.
It'll be popular. With all of the emissions problems on the modern diesels, I wouldn't even consider one. You can let this idle all day with the heat or AC on and won't have to worry about messing up the emissions equipment. And what can go wrong with it? A single injector on a modern diesel is not cheap ... and forget thinking about replacing any emissions components for under 5 figures
Yeah but what is the payload! Nd 100% the gas engine is the smarter choice for frugal smart ppl like myself
4000 lbs... that’s what a1 ton usually gets loaded with,I expected at least 3 tons....
lol yep 4k isnt even heavy, try a 30ft gooseneck and backhoe
I used to haul 2000Lbs of Coal on my 1998 Toyota Tacoma with a 2.7L 4 Cylinder so this isn't very impressive.. I'm sure this truck could handle 10,000LBS easily
My 1982 pickup has hauled 5060 lbs of crushed rock. Went down the road like everything was normal. My Chevy is a 3/4 ton with the 8600 GVW rating. Like the other guy said, I would expect to haul at least 3 ton.
Whipple charger and straight dual exhaust and you got a monster
Yes, where Tim the Tool Man Taylor when you need to make things mo betta' around here?
There is no Whipple Charger for the F550.
I called Whipple about that on Friday and they said they have no plans to make one for the 450 or 550
"I can't feel the 4k pounds I just gained".
Hey man, it looks good on ya.
The "Russian Bear Meal Plan!"
That wheel cut is on the f450 as well. And on the ram 4500/5500
Thank you for a awesome video. Finally a review of a working commercial super duty. These are the trucks that have built North America and the world. A review of the new F 600 would be appreciated. Maybe a side by side with a 550.
BEAUTIFUL FORD F550
Can’t wait to see the new F-600!!!
The F-600 would be ideal for those that have a full dump bed while still needing to pull a trailer with up to 3k lbs on the hitch.
It' s a good name. The consumer F-450 (14k gvwr) should have been called an F-400.
(edit)... did a quick search and those dump beds are just over 3k# meaning this truck was closer to 11k# empty.
Yeah they told you wrong on the empty weight for sure! That truck empty with the box on is 10,500lbs max. With the load you had in it you may have been 14,500 gross not 18,000. Nice video but the 2 way dump was killing me!!! Gravity down is so much faster than the pump down!! That about drives me nuts. Takes about a minute to get the bed back down! Lol!
Sean Bell agreed,! 4000 lbs is a joke for that truck....
4000lb is a joke for that truck, but my f350 dump is 9000lb empty. That may very well be 11-12k, maybe 14 who knows
@@FerrariTeddy An F550 doesn't weigh much more than a 350, this truck is around 11k max most likely under.
*just buy a dump trailer* it is then.
I drive a 1966 f350 dually with a 300 straight six, granny four speed, 4.87 rear axle. It does pretty good for an old truck.
I’m so impressed with Ford this year they are just killing it in the truck market
I LOVE big boy trucks!!!!! I purchased a GMC 5500 pick up for my plumbing business and now that's all I drive
I think the F-550 has the same wide track front axle as the F-450? That really makes a difference in the turning radius, on top of the new steering system.
I want a 7.3L gas and have absolutely no reason. I'm sure it would haul my bicycle just fine. Lol
it seems to me dump trailers have " almost" put these smaller dumps out to pasture, that seems like a lot of truck for 2 tons of dirt imo
Wow! Amazing I can't believe it made it through that strenuous test..
Andre.. that f550 weighs about 11k not 14k they purposely told you it weighed more than it did so they only put 4,000 on so it felt like it drove amazing. I weighed these trucks in that configuration and even with a diesel they weigh about 11,500 so with a gas being a thousand pounds less it's probably around 10,500.
I thought that 14k seemed kinda high as well.
I know a guy who puts 8,000 to 10,000 lbs of asphalt 4 to 5 tons in the back of a 2018 Cummins crew 4x4 4500 Ram. That's 4500 Cummins.
@@R.E.L.Asphalt_Sealcoating seems about right anyting around a 1-ton dump up to an F-550 is always overloaded
You’re exactly right. That truck is 10,500 max empty.
That looks like a proper WALK IN THE PARK Andre!
Must be a LOT of video content and editing from that Ford event since it was months ago and you are still releasing footage from it.
Dude. Same truck and I haul 10,000lbs of asphalt all the time…

I know I put 2 yards of soil in a 2500 lol
Well if that were the case you were overloaded at 10000lb load & would be illegal.
Can you test out a Isuzu nrr dump truck? Can they compete with the Ford f-550 in towing and payload? And the pros and cons
I wish we could get vehicles like that in Australia. Love the videos too.
So what about the f600 chassis cab? We havent heard boo about it since April of last year..?
It won’t be released until later in the year.
Greetings friend, the capacity of that dump truck in cubic meters is how much for the earth or sand

I like the 1.5 ton regular pickup cab models. They are easy on old bones
What the heck, no pto dump on that new truck? Does the transmission for that model have an option for power take off?
Yes.
Interesting if you review the F550 with Ambulance box 😁🚑💪🏼👍🏼
Edwin Ortega fire company by me got the new f550 power stroke and made it in to a brush truck. Bad ass to say the least

5:15 - Andre proves he's stone-cold-sober. :)
I'd have to opt for the 6.7 stroker . For 1050 ft.lb.torq.
Now I wanna see how it compares to the 650
Look for the new 600 coming this summer.
Key Largo what’s the difference?
Mike Hunt not entirely sure at this point but greater payload will be a sure thing , perhaps bigger breaks?
Also , it maintains the same 550 cab.
All the truck diversity is amazing. You guys hiring ???

Why would you have a gas engine instead of diesel in an application like that.?? Would diesel not be the best option.?

Mon véhicule forde 550 à un problème toujours arrêt moteur, toujours puissance moteur réduite. C quoi le problème ?
So weird to see a dump truck (or any commercial vehicle for that matter) that is gasoline powered.
It was quite common at one time. If it was used in a city, it would work just fine.
Our fleet of 550s and 5500s has slowly become all gassers. Cheaper upfront cost and they last long enough now we can send them to auction when they hit their age/mileage limit. Sadly that means we have to fight a bit to have 1 or 2 diesels in the fleet for serious towing. Having that engine braking is nice.

Witgmh a dump bed? If so tgats a good deal.
Hmm, that was not 4000lbs on the bed. I wanted to see it actually loaded.

Andre awesome video! Your having way to much fun playing with Godzilla in the sad box! 🚧 👷🏼♂️
A few things you could pass on to ford if you would. I own several f550s . Things they need to consider changing. The first thing. Is the wheel studs. Use bigger studs. I have broken a lot of them and know of many others that have had then break to the point of the wheels coming off. A straight rail frame don’t taper it over the rear axle. Raise the height of the frame from the ground. Raise the cab 6 inch’s. This would help with a couple things. When you have to work under it and help get it up so it’s somewhat out of the salt zone. And it would free up some space around the pto. And pump. And a real parking break. My 550s get worked hard and stand up pretty well. If ford really wants to test one let me have it for the winter plowing roads
4K lbs isn’t shit, our spreaders hood 4K worth of salt in 3/4 tons lol
shame they all use slow as molasses electric dumps.it needs a real pto so it dumps before lunch is over.
When are you going to review a real truck... the diesel F550?
carmas54 what difference do you think it’s gonna make
The f250-450 has more power tgan the commercial 450 and 550. My boss just bought a new f550 and it has 330 hp the 2020 f250 has what 450hp?
It's not all about horsepower, the commercial trucks are meant to last a lot longer. More horsepower=less engine life
9mmToGo 475hp
Jon Allsop I understand
This thing sounds amazing on headphones
Junk. I got two GM 1 ton dumps from the sqaure body era. My 76 GMC weighs in at at around 6000lbs. 10k gvw so i can haul 4k no issues and do all the time. I don't have the power but i have the gearing. Ol SM465 granny gear moves anything.
Electric over hydraulic is SLOW.
I would have that dumped and bed down in way less time. Mechanical PTO will dump anything.
Oh it cost $2500. How much is this Ford?
This truck is $45,000. Your old GM might be tough, but it's slower. Less power, less gears, etc.
Only way this could be more macho is a manual.... a 10 spd manual😏
that is a small amount of dirt this truck could do 3x this
Wold like one
