Here is my list of areas for improvement on the all new 2023 Ford Superduty F350 high output diesel 6.7l powerstroke Tremor. Still no regrets, would buy it again! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
My Platinum Tremor shipped Sunday so hopefully I see it soon. Thanks for the videos!
Hope you enjoy it!
Good for you !
10th superduty!!
Great video!! When I ordered my F350 lariat ultimate H/O Blackout Tremor they sent me my MSRP when I ordered it at $98,000. When I went to pick it up the MSRP jumped to $106,000. So I literally waited a year of anticipation and excitement and when I got there the price was $8000 more? I refused to purchase it at that price and they refused to honor the price given to me at purchase.. shame on you ford
By the way that was Fullerton Ford stay away!!
Right on
Did your contract at the time of order have an escalator clause that allowed the dealer to increase the price at delvery?!! It doesn't sound like they explained it to you! If not, they need to keep the constract agreement at the old ordered price!!!
I agree with you 100%... Hopefully FORD is watching your videos and make improves 👍
I hope so too
Nice review…thanks!
Thanks for watching!
On the brake dust, it has been all fords I’ve driven from my personal truck, to all our work trucks whether 250 or 150. It’s worse with ford/motorcraft pads. On my personal moving to Bosch ceramic pads helped immensely though I do feel like I lost some bite.
22’ model year is a better fit and finish IMO. Looked at several 23s and noticed they cut a few corners.
I’m happy with my 2022, and glad it didn’t get pushed to the 23 model. I just don’t care for the 23 & 24 front end.
Great video. I have many of the same complaints on my 23 f350. I slid a jet sled with 200lb bear inside of it into the bed and the plastic sled literally removed all of the paint/primer. I already had a lineX appointment, but that's pretty whimpy paint. Brake dust buildup is terrible on front wheels. Those duratracs work great for me up in the northern Michigan snowbelts. I've been running same tire/size since 2018 on ram & ford trucks
glad to hear! Good to hear from another Michigander!
@@CTECH-REVIEW Another Michigan guy here... 2024 F-350 Tremor 7.3 on order. I just couldn't justify the additional $13k for the diesel (and the EPA emissions crud). I am hoping I am not disappointed by the 7.3. I currently don't have to deal with a trailer so...
Mine has a few paint imperfections on the bed, one on the rear bumper and another on the back of the cab, very annoying for a vehicle with a $90K+ MSRP. I plan to get the Platinum center console leather trimmed pieces to replace the creaky plastic ones in my Lariat Ultimate but I do need to figure out P/N's for those and make sure that the leather is close or the same. I do wish that we got the LED Projector head lights on our Lariat Ultimates but the LED reflectors are pretty good so not a big deal.
The seat belt menu screen is super annoying and needs to be handled by Ford ASAP, no need for that. I had a 2021 Cummins and the engine braking was stellar, the Ford doesn't even come close but it's better than the current Duramax. The HUD not working well with polarized sunglasses is a fail but you can see it clearly by slightly tilting your head to the side, not ideal but it does work. Lastly, the camera quality/resolution is trash, it's not as bad as the 2010-2022 Toyota/Lexus vehicles but it should be a lot better.
I had paint chips on mine from whoever installed the door latches… dealer tried to order touch up paint, but it was on back order lol.
Awesome video. I have a 24 f 250 on order, carbonized gray , tremor 6.7 high output lariat ultimate
Good choice!
@@CTECH-REVIEW I've only drove a standard output 6.7 . Is the high output a big noticeable difference in power when the converter locks?
What about that orange Tremor sticker...oof. I'd like to see a delete option for the front side step.
I agree. My 23 ram Cummins engine brake will face plant me into the steering wheel
Totally agree!
I totally agree about the brake dust I have a 21 SD diesel and the brake dust is very annoying. The waves in the body I was told is because at the factory the body gets heated up so much to bake the paint on its on the verge of where the aluminum has to be to work it or bend it. So it gets a little wavey. But that would be a little annoying too. I do love mine though. I tow a lot very heavy and it does very very good! I have used the same exact thing in the ram. My ford was a fair amount better and I dident have to have 2 transmissions in my ford either!
Thank you for watching
I had those tires on my new truck in 2016. Goodyear had a solid 100% guarantee on those tire not to have any vibration back then. I took it in with on 4k on the new truck & Goodyear replaced 2 or the 4 tires no questions asked. Dont know if its still the same now but i got great service out of them. I too, have 2023 f250 HO diesel Lariat & i feel your pain.. i went from an awesome 2021 f250 diesel to a mountain of issues, 23 to be exact. I have less than 5k on it & ford offered to fix it or buy it back right up front. Oh and My hub caps keep failing off. Do you have memory seats & steering wheel? Mine is supposed to go to the saved position each time you start up. Well the seat does but the steering wheel only makes it half way at times & i have to push the memory button to get it to finish the recalled settings. My main center screen like yours freezes on start up or just stayed blank and i have to restart the truck. I found a work around off youtube though. Hold the volume button and the right seek button in at the same time & that resets it. The buy back sounds great but theres nothing to replace it with & i must have a diesel to pull my heavy equipment with for my business. I told ford corp to find me the exact truck i ordered minus the issues & I'll do it. Good luck with yours.
Thanks for watching! sorry to hear about all your issues. I am very happy with the truck, I would still buy it again. I do have memory seats. It comes back every time for me. You may want to take it into the dealer and see if they can fix that. Get all of this documented! Best of luck!
I have 3 ford trucks. All of them different gens and they all collect break dust fast. I think it's because the breaking ratio front to back is something like 80/20
That's how all cars are.
Sweet truck. I have a ‘24 250 on order but am wondering if I should change to a 1-ton. We plan on a possible 5th wheel in the future. Can you do a video on your towing capacities along with the 5th wheel you tow, showing your capacities on your door stickers? Thanks for all the great content on the Super Duty’s!
Thanks for watching, I actually have a few videos posted on this truck towing our 5th wheel, feel free to check out the channel!!
@@CTECH-REVIEW😊
Change the order to a 1 ton. Why not get more capability for about 900 dollars more.
You can deactivate a lot of the chims and issues with digital cluster with Forscan. I wonder if you can swap to the Projector led from the Platinum
I just received my ‘23 F-250 Lariat Tremor. I, too, was annoyed with the incandescent bulbs in the taillights especially as I had the Lariat Ultimate package. I contacted the service/parts at my dealer to see if there was plug-n-play LEDs from the Platinum, etc. They said unfortunately no since it required different plugs/harnesses. I imagine the same for the headlights, although I’m fine w/out the projectors.
Also, I don’t think you can use Forscan on ‘23+ models. Onto FDRS now and I haven’t heard anyone but dealers have it.
Is there any advantage for the F350 tremor since the F250 Tremor has the same axle, gears and suspension? Sticker on the door is the only difference. Legal payload is different but in reality it's the same. Is the road noise with tires bad enough you can't make phone calls well? Truck is my mobile office.
Payload is reason to get F350 over F250...Around 1200lbs more payload. My Grand Design 5th Wheel would be over the legal payload of the F250. Tire noise is acceptable for phone calls, no issue there!
You can turn the chime off by program using a vcm
I have a 23 F250 Tremor HO Diesel and I am having shifting issues with the transmission, only 1000 miles on it and at a stoplight the truck was dead in the water, ignition was on but pressing accelerator wouldn't move the truck at all. Scary stuff, and every service department is saying 1-2 weeks before they can even diagnose the damn thing. Not to mention they won't give you a loaner...
Jease sorry to hear this, any other dealers able to do more for a loaner?
Are you going to put the ccv filter fix, steel cold intake and fuel pump fix, definitely probably add fuel conditioner and drain out water
Thanks for reaching out, going to run it stock for now!
The squeaky console is very annoying. The camera image is better on my ‘17 as well.
The engine brake is supposed to be improved, but I swear that my 2017 is more aggressive than the 23. The trailer brake controller doesn’t seem to apply as well as the ‘17 either, I have to increase the gain on all my personal trailers to make them stop the same.
DEF usage even with the standard output engine is very high when towing. I feel that they really should have increased the size of the DEF tank. I rarely make it through a 700 mile day towing a heavy fifth wheel trailer without having make an extra stop just to add DEF to avoid a derate.
The electronics in this truck make me feel like I signed up to be a beta tester for the software. It seems like most of the glitches and bugs should have been sorted before production began. All of this is really disappointing for a nearly $90k truck.
as someone who did bodyworking for fords at a dealer and all I gotta say is stay with your standard bulb taillights idc what people say about the full led lights but the price when you need to replace them is insane and they are rly sensitive to water if you crack them esp the headlights they are expensive to replace in general if your headlight goes out from a crash there is a large chance the module is also broken and that is around 400 bucks along on top of the 1100 dollar per headlight
100%! thank you for watching.
What's the DPF regen process like?
Good, cant tell its going on!
Have you had any audio issues when connected to car play ? When I put it in reverse sometimes the camera freezes and the speakers make a loud noise
Thankfully no! Keep me posted, and thank you for the comment!
I have car play issues with my system. Several tech sources tell me its actually an Apple car play issue.
@@Lumpschlevot would make sense it only makes the noise when CarPlay or Bluetooth is hooked up the camera still freezes with out those check out the short I uploaded
Also, when I get in the truck it doesn't tell me how wonderful I am and that my feelings matter. I hate that.
haha! Thanks for watching!
Thats a nice color, not sure why ford didn't have it for the 24 model year
yeah, that squeaking in the console is unacceptable! My 2014 tundra has done the same thing since I bought it new! Drives me crazy! In the cold months I have to blast the defrost on hot so I don't hear the dash rattle as well! 🤦
Thanks for watching, looks like it is fixed in 2024!
A lot of your gripes can be addressed with Forscan - you should be able reprogram a lot of that
Thanks for watching, I will look into that.
Thanks for the feedback but make up your mind .. no need to make the complaint then be sorry or defend ford in anyways immediately after making your point. The new automobiles with all manufactures are of poorer quality. Period. It’s just that the bells and whistles are distracting most people to think they’re better. “Shiny things”
Thanks for watching, I just posted a video talking about this a few days ago.
I have to add this comment... When you use the GPS, sometimes it shows on the instrument panel, and sometimes it dissapears. If they can get it to stay on, than I can keep the 12 inch screen on trailer camera mode all of the time
Thank you for watching, and the comments!
My old bmw twin turbo saves the last menu, unfortunately my 21 yamaha gp waverunner will go back to default even the trim position every time u restart.
Thanks for watching!
Should’ve check it b4 you bought it!’
Forescan may help with some of your issues.
Polarized sunglasses filter out reflections (glare). Thats what they do. Get non polarized sunglasses. HUD’s are just reflections. There are more advanced HUD systems, but if you ever had to replace a cracked windshield, it would be very expensive. Or a dedicated display the flips down or up, like in aircraft. , but who wants that.
You seem a little critical. But some of your gripes are on target. Camera definition, cpu processing time, paper owners manual, annoying chimes and messages, starting from square one every time you restart…..
Just wondering if it comes with two key fobs, of just one?
For that kind of money, there should be more refinement on those issues.
Cheers.
Yes lots of great points above! Yes these trucks come with 2 key fobs! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful Truck. I have the 22 Tremor Anti-mater blue. F350 Platinum. Your truck looks better. Electric - if they make a truck that can tow your 5th wheel for 400+ miles on a single battery charge AND there are way more places to charge batteries... then electric has arrived.
I agree with you
FYI the HO is a $3k engine add so of course it should feel like it has more power. Also, Cummins and Duramax use considerably less DEF than the HO.
Yes sir! On the Tremor its the only Diesel option. Really curious how the 2024 GM duramax compares to the Ford HO in DEF consumption
I own a 23 high output had a 21,20,19 diesel lariat ultimates and I notice zerooooo power difference with the new high output so much that I change my king ranch order to regular diesel spend the 3k elsewhere
Engine brake works better when you activate trailer mode at the same time still not the best though
When talking about the diesel exhaust brake you compared it to the Cummins in the Ram. You've driven the Ram, but you're on your 10th Super Duty. Can you tell me, when comparing the two trucks, what keeps bringing you back to the Ford instead of going with Ram? I'm on my 3rd non-diesel Ram, but I've always wanted to upgrade to an HD diesel. The Laramie Longhorn is a beautiful truck, but I've always had a soft spot for the King Ranch Super Duty. So, I'm curious to hear from someone who's driven both Ford and Ram HD diesels and what your thoughts are when comparing the two, and why you've chosen Ford again and again.
Thanks for watching, I have a video coming soon discussing this! Stay tuned!
I think you missed the most annoying problem i have with this truck is the auto steer and it keeps saying keep your hands on the wheel. Even when you have them on the wheel it still come up way to often. Also don't like the center console they switched it back to horizontal instead of vertical like my 2018 was.
Totally agree, I think I have gotten used to this as any of the new trucks do it.
I think it is safety thing that I just shut off because it is so annoying
Hopefully the Platinum Tremor doesn't have these issue's, but it probably cost $10,000 more for better features
price went up only $800 for 2024 over 2023 model year!
Kinda glad I bought a 2024 chevy 3500. Has none of the issues you're discussing.
👍⚾️
BMW brake dust is worse. It happens to all vehicles that have performance braking.
Great point!
Why did you order a 24?
new truck every year!
As for the dash display, I agree completely. Waaayyyyy tooo complicated. Guess if a man or woman designed it? Yup, 'twas a gal who was in charge of sh!tshow. I hear the 2024s have stopped with that annoying menu that aks if you want to go back to your normal view ... every single time ... I'm surprised she didn't make it ask "Are you sure?" each and every time as well. Mine seems to have a problem remembering my #1 seating position, and just wait until it decides the whole system needs a reset. You have to hold two button on the radio and your mouth just right to do that. Fortunately it isn't a monthly event to teach us men a lesson.
Thanks for the comment!
No owner's manual? That's ridiculous.
P.s. If you’re whining about the tires, then don’t buy the off-road version of the truck really just that simple. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
Thanks for watching!
I think you need a car to have a truck the way you complain it’s just a truck
Don’t be politically correct.. tell it like it is. 💯
You go to a model A no tech in that
RAM
FORD
Cry! Cry! Cry!
