I love this channel but sometimes the music gets in the way of the information. Music is important but when it covers up dialogue it can be frustrating. Thanks and keep up with the great vids!
- 20 is nothing, up here in Northern Manitoba Canada, dealing with -40 to -45 degree Celsius temperatures, i have started multiple 6.7 PowerStrokes at these -40 degree temperatures and they arent happy, but they honestly start every time plugged in or not. 6.7 is an amazing motor!!!!!
Power Service Diesel Kleen white bottle. White for winter, silver bottle for summer. Or Howes. I sometimes mixed some Diesel Kleen white with Howes or Howes clear bottle (deep winter) and let it mix with the fuel.
Evgeny Seregin Ikr.. my cars and my diesel suv (with lots of miles on it) start in -30F no preheat, nothing, with no hesitation what so ever; Dunno what these guys from ford are all about
Evgeny Seregin My toyota started without hesitation in -20F. It had a higher pitch sound until it started to defrost and I also smelled a bit of a burned smell from the belt for a couple seconds.
***** Not average DAY, average morning or night. Go and see how many videos on youtube there are of people filming their cars starting in -30 to -40 celsius.
bwilliamstown Northern parts of Florida have dipped into the teens and even single digits before. Granted, that's not -1,000 below zero like in northern parts of the globe, but it's still pretty chilly for an environment that's sub-tropical several months out of the year. It doesn't have to be super cold for things to stop working, or not work properly.
***** What I meant is it seems silly to build a cold-weather testing facility in Florida, you're wasting a lot of energy cooling Florida air to -20F compared to if they had built the place somewhere further North.
Something we did in the military during training exercises at -42 to - 60 is to run them for half hour then shut them off for half an hour all through the night.
If you plan on extended idle times. A high idle about 1,000 rpm is needed. It will put the engine at the lowest engine load, leanest fuel mixture. Which helps the DPF to keep cleaner. I have done these test on a 2010 Mack Vision. The dash has a digital screen that allows me to monitor ever aspect of the drivetrain.
Even thought the body of the Super Duty line hasn't changed much in like 16 years, I really like it. I'm not a fan of the new front ends but I love the ones in the early 2000s
my 90 and 91 f150 start at that temperature or lower every winter, they crank a little slower but always start and don't have that much technology in them.
Axel Vanegas real trucks don’t have spark plugs tho lol. Gasoline engines use spark to ignite. That’s easy no matter what temp. Diesel is compression ignition. So basically you need compression and heat to ignite it and that’s hard to do on a cold start.
I have a 2004 F150 and I was starting it all week in Ottawa Ontario in -30C -25F not plugged in. Synthetic Oil and a good battery that truck will start at over -40 C/F easy!
This is necessary. I was relieved when our 1997 f150 plow started at -35F to plow my mother out to perform an emergency surgery. The hydraulic fluid was thick as pudding but it worked.
Ford invited us to see the Super Duty testing, including the 2017. Then, asked to not show majority of the 2017 truck footage. We tried to bring you as much as possible at this time.
Every F150 I have owned has started right up with no issues some of the coldest temperatures we get here in my area of Canada (-35c). Only thing that ever gave me grief was a low battery.
MY 2000 4Runner never had difficulty in Saskatchewan winters when it got to -45C so the 15 years of engineering improvement in the auto industry should do a lot more to impress me. This should be the standard expectation for any vehicle, not a noteworthy achievement for a $70000+ pickup.
u are full of shit, if you think that u can google shit and pretend to be smart. I live here and know what it's like u just google shit and pretend u know something
-20 is nice, but here where its -40 and sometimes as low as -50, you have to plug it in. Things may start, but the amount of engine wear while its cold that can be saved by plugging it in, pays off in the long haul.
Cool Video. It gets -30 to -40 here on cold days, good to know they test for those types of temps. I have been through two winters with my Nissan Frontier and fortunately it has started every morning.
In northern PA it gets down to -15 F (and colder) if your truck was not running through the night you will have gelled fuel and frozen DEF fluid this is fact because we had tons of 6.7L towed in to the Ford dealership to get everything unthawed.
As a Minnesotan who sees -40°F a couple times during the winter, I appreciate the testing they do. At the end of the day though, the big factors that help a car run in the very cold is pretty simple. 1) Use a good battery with outstanding CCA and good RC. Buy the best of the best, and you won't be left stranded or left with a failed battery. AMG batteries are among the best with a couple options leading the CCA and RC stats. EnerSys makes the best batteries and are branded under top products like the Sears Diehard Platinum or Odyssey Extreme. These represent the best of the best in CCA and RC available on the market. You pay a premium, but you also have a car that cranks fast and starts in the dead of winter. You also tend to get a LOT of years out of them without fail versus the cheapy choices like the well valued and well performing EverStart Maxx batteries at Walmart. 2) Use fully synthetic lubricants with the lowest rated Pour Point you can find. This means you run 0w30 or 0w20 fully synthetic engine oils. There are zero weight options up to 0w50 available for outstanding cold weather start even in a high performance or old, worn car that requires high viscosity at operating temps (ex. BMW M cars). You also use fully synthetic transmission fluid and gear oil in the diffs. This helps tremendously with shifting and helps the car feel more normal in the dead cold rather than feeling like you're shifting and putting power through peanut butter. The key value you're looking for is Pour Point, and you can view this under the specification documentation for the oil. Every brand/model of engine oil and gear oil has them. Some manufacturers list a lower temperature viscosity than the two standards to rate cold and hot. However, not every manufacturer does. Since the cold and hot viscosities are speced, i.e. the 0 and 30 in the numbers, those numbers all exist within the same narrow range, so there's nothing to compare there unless they list a colder temp value also. A few do. Some of the best Pour Points available on the market are full synthetics from Mobil, Amsoil, and Motul. For a 0w20, Mobil 1 full synthetic is the best. For 0w30, it's Amsoil 0w30 SSO. For gear oil, Motul Gear 300 has the lowest Pour Point, and Amsoil's full synthetic 75w90 is a nearby runner up. Amsoil has their Severe Gear full synthetic for heavier duty use with a great low temperature Pour Point. The short of it all: A great battery and fully synthetic oils do wonders to make a car highly functional in extreme cold.
TheArfdog It's not a matter of need. Rather, it's a better experience from dead cold. It turns over easier. It runs with less losses. In the case of manual transmissions, it doesn't feel like you're shifting through peanut butter. The car just feels much more normal, much more like warm weather starting and operation. Now all this doesn't matter much after 10 minutes when everything's warmed up, but it's nice to have a better initial experience and operation.
it was -35 here in new York for three nights in a row that's just new York so yeah Ford your doing things great... not to mention on tughill Plato dipped down to -55 with wind chill look it up
Last winter we stayed at a hotel in Northern Alberta but couldn't plug in because of the amount of vehicles and had to park across the street. Temperature dipped to -40 overnight. The next morning we went to leave. My 2012 Ram 1500 was fine. My counterparts 2015 F-150 Eco boost would start, but then shutoff after 5 seconds, repeatedly. Apparently if it fails to see oil pressure within 5 seconds it'll turn off. So I plugged his block heater into my inverter and we sat in the truck for two hours before his would keep running.
What matters more is how durable will this truck be in these extreme conditions. Any car will work a couple of times in freezing temps like this. What I would like to see is the truck going through multiple cycles so we get a feel of how the plastics will hold up over time and age. I had a Silverado that would break retainer pins inside of the door when it was too cold out, making the door handles useless.
bmwmsport11 true. got a chev 2500 and when its real cold you gotta be somewhat carefull with the plastics. The 6L also doesnt like to idle while cold when temps are bellow -10C. My tacoma and other toyotas on the other hand seem to take the cold no problems down to just above -30C (coldest ive ever experienced with them) That was a pretty good cold start for a diesel tho...
bmwmsport11 I would imagine a lot of people won't be turning their trucks off in this extreme of weather because it will be too hard to get the inside back to a comfy 70°
DirtyD I could understand not turning it off if your out and about but if you come home for the night I don't get how it's better to leave it running than to put an engine heater block on it and install a remote start to warm it up before you go outside.
TheCobruhAlienat0r You won't always have the ability to plug the BH in, especially if you are traveling and staying somewhere without access to an outlet. There may also be times when you just straight forget to plug in the BH when you get home. This testing is for those occurrences.
Super cool. Then after the facility they need to take it up to Alaska and give it hell for 150 k towing 10k lbs... in storms and negative 60 degree winds.... Great looking truck.
I know this is old. but they did that in 2007 for the new at the time 2008 super duty. They used an f450 6.4l diesel and towed 20k for 150k miles almost non stop. They had multiple drivers to keep it on the road 24/7
Did that with my 2006 and 2008 Tundras last winter one morning it was -27F, the next morning it was -33F. Both started just fine, and I don't have to plug them in. Want a vehicle that starts in cold weather don't buy a diesel.
I’m from northern Wisconsin, some of these people seem to think this isn’t cold. -22 is damn cold. That’s relatively rare even here. It doesn’t get that cold the majority of places. -40 is extreme I don’t care who you are. Go outside for 20 minutes. Good luck
I wonder how they deal with all the carbon monoxide being emitted since its all indoors the guy said they test em out 24 hours a day (for the idle test at least)
The guy talked about testing the Superduty for surging when taking off from a park, wonder if they tested that explorer? My wife’s 2016 Explorer sport has the eco boost engine and it surges bad when it’s cold
LOL Where i live in Minnesota, school got cancelled last year because it went down too -50 and -70 windchill. This isn't very cold average low of the day during January was -15 to -20. They should at least take it down too -30 to -40
I wasn’t too happy with my f350 6.7 power stroke this winter. I have a 2016 and plug it in daily. Lots of rough starts. Had turbo issues and battery issues. I love my truck. But I don’t like driving it in the winter.
So basically the vehicles are good at -20F but at the most extreme temperatures, the vehicles have to constantly run. I think it would make sense to design some sort of heated jacket that can be placed around the engine, transmission pan, and battery to keep those components at around -20F in those extreme -50F+ conditions instead of keeping the vehicles running 24/7. Long periods of idling are usually hard on an engine, but then again its better to have increased engine wear instead of it not starting back up again.
Bobby0345 Nope, they are just testing for when people want to run them 24/7. The vehicles are built to start and stop and start again. They don't have to constantly idle. There's already such a heated jacked... it's heated by burning fuel. DUh
Bobby0345 If you've ever experienced -50F, or even -20F you would know that keeping ANYTHING running or warm is a challenge. There's a good chance that it wouldn't start again at -50F if left overnight. ..Maybe cycle the glow plugs a few times... MAYBE then.
I know - Newer ones will. We do commercial snow removal and a lot of our equipment isn't "new". Most of it is 5-15 years old. THOSE, if it ever got to -50F here, those would be fancy decorations in the snow.
It’s funny, Ford is stated to be tested to -40°F, but here in western PA my 2017 F150 door won’t even unlock or stay latched (after I finally manage to get it open) once temperatures hit 25°F. And that’s +25°F, so 65° greater than what it was supposedly tested at. Seems like there’s a bit of false advertisement here
I live in Alaska and let me tell you Ford and Dodge are the best for up here... Especially ford
Absolutely love seeing automakers testing their vehicles in extreme conditions. It really shows they care about the quality of their finished product.
I'm a GM guy but that was one of the coolest videos you guys have put on here.
No pun intended!
I'm a dodge guy and I agree.
I'm sorry maybe it's me but I love Chevy and dodge all day long they are better
same..I don't care for the f150 but the 250's are monsters
I agree, I'm a Chevy/GM guy but I still like Ford trucks.
+Demetrius Davis yeah i agree. i like chevy 1500 and ford f 250s my favorite is ram 2500 with the cummins
I love this channel but sometimes the music gets in the way of the information. Music is important but when it covers up dialogue it can be frustrating. Thanks and keep up with the great vids!
Thank you for your comment. We will be more careful with that.
The Fast Lane Truck good boy
I couldn't agree more! I don't know how many times I have had that exact thought.
Right, Kactus!! Hope they changed that mess by now, 1/16/18!
- 20 is nothing, up here in Northern Manitoba Canada, dealing with -40 to -45 degree Celsius temperatures, i have started multiple 6.7 PowerStrokes at these -40 degree temperatures and they arent happy, but they honestly start every time plugged in or not. 6.7 is an amazing motor!!!!!
What do you use to stop diesel waxing?
@@craigmcbrierty3378 northern U.S. and almost all of Canada switch to a winter diesel in late fall to keep from fuel gelling
Power Service Diesel Kleen white bottle. White for winter, silver bottle for summer. Or Howes. I sometimes mixed some Diesel Kleen white with Howes or Howes clear bottle (deep winter) and let it mix with the fuel.
Ford has done it again. I'm happy that they consider the cold temperatures of Canada. Beautiful front end. I can't wait to get my upgrade.
The amount of time and engineering that goes into modern cars blows my mind. Most people will never appreciate it.
And once again Ford has proven to be BULIT TOUGH ! 🙏🏾 I've wanted an F250 since my middle school days and never have I ever changed my mind .
Ford will always be built tough
Armen Smith it wont
Armen Smith all brands are good and bad
Is that a joke
Marley Man uhhhh ok bud.
Marley Man U just need a 20 oz bottle of haterade 😂
Usual winter temperature for Russia. Our children eat some icecream after school in day like this. Even my Peugeot starts and works perfect in -20F

that's why I love ford
there was no 2017 superduty shown in that video
SONNY TUBE The ones under cover
ik it was 2016 wtf
They covered them up bc this video was made in 2015 during the development of the 2017
Something we did in the military during training exercises at -42 to - 60 is to run them for half hour then shut them off for half an hour all through the night.
-20 is good. but -40 is needed for Canada.
-20 f is -30 celcius
James Franco
And -40f is -40c
So -40 testing is still needed

Nice! So glad to see a auto maker that understands that the continental US isn't that cold.
What 2017? I saw 2015.
the trucks that were covered in black plastic was 2015
The cover ones are the 2017
Ok just misleading title. These guys try all kinds of tricks to get viewers.
Michael tucker What is the trick? There where 2017 Fords in the video. Ford is just not allowing reviews on them yet.
Ford invited us to see the Super Duty testing, including the 2017. Then, asked to not show majority of the 2017 truck footage. We tried to bring you as much as possible at this time.
I wish they still looked this good.
this was a cool video!
I c what you did there
Awesome Video! Interesting and Informative, keep up the good work TFLT Crew! This type of new content is what keeps me coming back for more!
I had a 94 Chevy Suburban. 6.5 Diesel Turbo 330,xxx started up everytime in the coldest of wheather. I'm a Ford guy but I loved that Burb
At least they will have a warm truck 24/7 lol! Sweet vid. nice to see my truck is reliable in Canada Alberta weather lol!

Well it's also a diesel.
it is like an average winter day in Russia

2:13 if it doesnt sound like shit when you start it in the cold THATS when you know there is an issue lmao
I would like to know what type, brand, and weight of motor oil was in the truck. Also what about the battery. Were they all OE from the factory?
that's reassuring to know that you can have your vehicles start in those extreme temperatures
nice regen...notice that? I am glad that they are actively looking at the DPF and emissions system in these conditions.
4:48 set a check engine light my keester... you mean set limp mode
Great video! Nice to see something close to home. I will note it is Eglin AFB though
Thats pretty cool, I live up in Thompson where they do the cold weather testing for jet engines, ford, and a few other companies!
I'm sure I will be seeing the truck in Bemidji, MN this winter. They do a lot of cold weather testing there.
In northern PA it gets down to -15 F (and colder) if your truck was not running through the night you will have gelled fuel and frozen DEF fluid this is fact because we had tons of 6.7L towed in to the Ford dealership to get everything unthawed.

it was -35 here in new York for three nights in a row that's just new York so yeah Ford your doing things great... not to mention on tughill Plato dipped down to -55 with wind chill look it up

I wonder if they test em for several week cold starts, or cold starts with worn batteries
I'd have to make sure the donut function works on that floor lol
Super cool. Then after the facility they need to take it up to Alaska and give it hell for 150 k towing 10k lbs... in storms and negative 60 degree winds....

I know this is old. but they did that in 2007 for the new at the time 2008 super duty. They used an f450 6.4l diesel and towed 20k for 150k miles almost non stop. They had multiple drivers to keep it on the road 24/7
Like Hank Hill says - a car is good, but a truck is a force!
Come to Fairbanks AK it -20 or colder for months at a time. Over 100 Ford Vehicles sit outside year round at the dealership.
I was testing my tundra the last 3 days when it was -20F... and it was not in an artificial setting, with wind and snow... DAMN
Did that with my 2006 and 2008 Tundras last winter one morning it was -27F, the next morning it was -33F. Both started just fine, and I don't have to plug them in. Want a vehicle that starts in cold weather don't buy a diesel.
Come get frozen in Fairbanks, Alaska! We have world class testing tracks and extremely cold temps!
Impressive facility. Id like to see the other simulated climate tests they conduct in there. Very interesting, thanks tfl
-30C is quite cold. I remember while I was a student in Finland people use to drive usual bicycle in -20-30°C :)
4:09
i think you can install fuel tank 20 gallons or so near original tank
I watched a future weapons episode on cold weather operations, and they covered vehicles too.
I’m from northern Wisconsin, some of these people seem to think this isn’t cold. -22 is damn cold. That’s relatively rare even here. It doesn’t get that cold the majority of places. -40 is extreme I don’t care who you are. Go outside for 20 minutes. Good luck
So here i am, in 2020, and this video pops up saying its 5 years old. 2020 was so rough I lost 2 years.
Ford, that's the ticket! Prudhoe Bay test for cold, Death Valley for heat. Places and ways we, the real people use our trucks!
I wonder how they deal with all the carbon monoxide being emitted since its all indoors
the guy said they test em out 24 hours a day (for the idle test at least)
Argedis Most of a gasoline car's exhaust is CO2 and water.....
But they're testing diesel trucks...
They have def
They have an exhaus I'm sure Saint Louis runs an indoor stock car race in the dome and December for 23 days in a row with no issues
Bring' em up here in Maine when its -40 F without wind chill factor and start them!
The guy talked about testing the Superduty for surging when taking off from a park, wonder if they tested that explorer? My wife’s 2016 Explorer sport has the eco boost engine and it surges bad when it’s cold
ford, my favorite vehicle, is the best in force
What about heat test some parts of the world reach 40 degrees Celsius and higher
wtf? XD it has been 115 at our house for a week now 104 is nothing in the summer in california senteral valley
The engine runs at around 230 degrees, high temperatures are better for starting, it's like having an engine that's already warmed up lol
NAG3 we have reach 50c here in the middle east its very hot in the summer
Doesn't matter the truck ! It matters the battery! "Good advertisement " lol I just came up with that lol 😂😂
I'm not a ford guy but I'm impressed.
LOL Where i live in Minnesota, school got cancelled last year because it went down too -50 and -70 windchill. This isn't very cold average low of the day during January was -15 to -20. They should at least take it down too -30 to -40
they need to test this in -40. -20 is a nice winter day where im from
They said in the video they had at -40 a few days prior
Why is the cold weather testing done in Florida??
I wasn’t too happy with my f350 6.7 power stroke this winter. I have a 2016 and plug it in daily. Lots of rough starts. Had turbo issues and battery issues. I love my truck. But I don’t like driving it in the winter.
Okay we get it, it's a lot colder where you live, congrats
What kind of degree do you need to get to run tests like this on cars all day?
-22 Fahrenheit is -28 Celsius. Which we usually hit -40’s for a week or two in January and February soooo
Come to upstate NY we deal with those temperatures
-20 isn't that cold ? Usually -30 where I live and we make do ?
The title of the video is kinda redundant. "Minus -20F." You're saying "minus minus 20F" or "minus negative 20F."
excellent video. Thanks guy's.
I'd like to see Andre do a update to this video pls.
So basically the vehicles are good at -20F but at the most extreme temperatures, the vehicles have to constantly run. I think it would make sense to design some sort of heated jacket that can be placed around the engine, transmission pan, and battery to keep those components at around -20F in those extreme -50F+ conditions instead of keeping the vehicles running 24/7. Long periods of idling are usually hard on an engine, but then again its better to have increased engine wear instead of it not starting back up again.
Bobby0345 Nope, they are just testing for when people want to run them 24/7. The vehicles are built to start and stop and start again. They don't have to constantly idle. There's already such a heated jacked... it's heated by burning fuel. DUh
Bobby0345 If you've ever experienced -50F, or even -20F you would know that keeping ANYTHING running or warm is a challenge. There's a good chance that it wouldn't start again at -50F if left overnight. ..Maybe cycle the glow plugs a few times... MAYBE then.
Jon VD Automakers like Ford test down to those temps... and start just fine.
I know - Newer ones will. We do commercial snow removal and a lot of our equipment isn't "new". Most of it is 5-15 years old. THOSE, if it ever got to -50F here, those would be fancy decorations in the snow.
Do they put the super duty 6.2 in this deep freeze
very nice video!!!
So come to Colorado in the winter
what's the can simulate snow storms like in the movies that's freaking awesome
Good Stuff 👍
I'm not a ford guy but I'm impressed
It’s funny, Ford is stated to be tested to -40°F, but here in western PA my 2017 F150 door won’t even unlock or stay latched (after I finally manage to get it open) once temperatures hit 25°F. And that’s +25°F, so 65° greater than what it was supposedly tested at. Seems like there’s a bit of false advertisement here
I wonder what anti gel they use for the diesel fuel?
yeah Canada kind of pretty cold in the winter how about Siberia like - 50.C in winter in the night
I’m in Alaska and I’m surprised they didn’t just test it at -40, that’s the average temp for mid winter (interior Fairbanks area)😂
These guys put the "D" back in Durability
Not surprised where I live it’s much colder my tundra start up with no problem not impressed
what are you running in the diesel fuel so it doesn't gel up?
please tell me that you can finally get this truck with the platinum trim and with the color blue?
Go on Ford's website and look it up!
Canada only ;)
What is the freezing point of the gasoline?
