That's not a chainsaw this a chainsaw mate.
David is a such a cool dude, I like his ranch an his attitude
The old truck is just too damn cool…new one clearly can do more and better work I’m sure but that old truck is timeless
I am aware that the new truck has power and everything but I prefer old one. ❤️
And that one is still in really good shape.
@@timclaus8313 not really. It's a beautiful truck but it's only beautiful on the outside. Rusted out piece of junk. It needs restoring bad
@@ghostlegit Maybe true, but you have to be in the really arid high country to find an unrestored old truck still that solid. Of course, it is 50 some odd years old. She has got some low end grunt though.
@@ghostlegit In my opinion that's why the old truck is better. You don't care when it gets dented up and hit and scratched. In that new truck it's gonna hurt a little more. Plus you can build those older trucks alot easier for any amount of power you want. But if you aren't planning on abusing the truck then a new one is probably the better option
@@timclaus8313 she's a straight 6. 🤢 I would rather have a v8 in that year model. But yeah she's a pretty truck but the new one is better in every way unfortunately. Trucks back then didn't last 300k miles without rebuilds which is true.
I'll take the old one for farm work, if lockers are an issue, get a set of air locker diff centres, even cruise control is a cheap add on now days, throw in a decent sound system and winch bar and then you'd have a pretty tough contender. Old mate is right, something fixable at the farm is more important than being fancy.
I was not expecting a new truck to be able to crawl in 1st without the driver. I was expecting it to automatically stop
Gotta appreciate both trucks for their own abilities, the old one still banging around is awesome and you can really appreciate how far trucks have came.
It's also cool that with the old one, you could fix almost any problem for like $60 and some duct tape, they were easy to work on, and made to last long
I love to see Dave and this Yak ranch in your videos. Great video, Andre got some work in!
Just like the Chevy's I've owned...
The old truck is a great prepper vehicle, no electronics to damage in the event of an EMP
I used to own an '89 Bronco with the Inline 6, the 4-speed and open diffs. That thing was a tank. Crawling in 1st gear was amazing! I'm a little jealous of your F-100.
I currently own a 96 Bronco with a 351 W. Love the 80's and 90's Fords
There’s plenty of microchips in the old truck after Tommy and Andre get done with a bag of Doritos on the way home.
Lol I like puns! Nice!
Now do a pun about circuit boards.
@@jamesbeaman6337 like plywood, circuit boards too are going up in cost.
Or
Circuit boards. Well, they are just too dang difficult to keep excited and engaged, aren't they. I'm not board at all!
Ok that was smooth 👍
I think the old truck did pretty well on the hill climb. Considering the the new truck is a lot heavier and needed a locker to go all the way.
I love old trucks, I've owned quite a few. That being said, these new trucks are still super impressive. I daily drive my diesel ZR2, she cruises at 75 mph and averages 23 mpg with 33" mud terrains. Then I take the truck off-road, beat the hell out of it, and it does everything I want. You can have a fantastic off-road truck that rides awesome and gets good mpg's. No old truck is doing that. The only thing the old trucks really have going for them is just simplicity, no computers is definitely easier to maintain.
Any TFL video at the Yak Ranch with David is guaranteed to be a good one. :-)
First vehicle was a 65 F-100. Bought another years later that I am in the second year of fully resto-modding. I love the 65’s. My brother has the same 7.3 tremor in red and it is a great truck. Would be a tough choice to have to choose one. Love this test y’all did.
That is the exact tremor I want lol but can’t afford
Dave is one hell of a guy, but got a kick out of the axle hop the '65 had. Every Ford i ever had did it, including my '18 STX. Bilstein 5100's {$90 a piece} fixed that and the rear from jumping on washboard roads and potholes. Really easy to swap yourself too.
I love the old truck. My first vehicle was a '68 Ford F-100. Did a lot of first in that truck ;)
The mere fact that it still exist & working the older trucks were tougher
Tougher with those tiny weak axles? Nothing about it is stronger
Older trucks are tough for their time and for how long they have lasted, but in general they are not tougher than modern day trucks at all, they would literally cripple under the workload of a modern day trucks and break easily, durability, comfort, power everything in a modern day trucks is better than an older truck for obvious reasons as they should be.
Yep! Still pulling tri axle goosenecks with skid steers and mini x with a 1st gen Cummins. Bosses 2017 Cummins has shit the bed several times. The old girl has outdone the new truck through and through.
@@flight2k5 The diffs were matched to the entire drive train and more than tough enough.
@@timclaus8313 yea maybe for a 60s truck they were. Not by modern standards
it's kind of funny because here in Mississippi, every farmer/rancher is driving in brand new trucks and tradin them in about every year lol
I'd take the old boy any day. It's already lasted longer than the new one ever will
I love the technology improvements on the new ford but the old ford has a nicer charm as it's all work and no show truck. And the old Ford kept up pretty well with the new truck. Hell yeah
David is awesome. Andre was out of breath when he picked up the first moldy hay bale, you truly tried hard.
So hold on, did a straight 6 hold it's own vs what could be considered ford's latest big block gas engine in a tug of war?
I have a 74 Ford F-100 with a 390 V8 in it, and had that old Ford had a larger engine, something with real low end torque, it would have dragged that overpriced new toy up that hill. I've skidded logs with my truck and that's only a 2wd truck. Find an early 70's lowboy with a 390 or 460 in it and you will see what a top of the line F-250 of the day could do. If I had the money between them, give me the older truck. It doesn't have the gadgets, bells and whistles, but I know when I need it to work, it works and if something does break, it won't cost me a small fortune to have it replaced.
That 65 will still be running in another 60 years
Both are good for their generation. But I can do almost any repair on the 65 , without a bunch of special tools or a computer .
Would have liked to see the old truck crawl the hill with the same weight as the new truck. Nearly a ton of difference there if the weights were correct.
Dude that farmer was the star of the video ! Cool old guy 👌🏻
I think it was awesome how the old truck held its own in the tug of war. Curious how this would have turned out if They had brought a regular cab long box SD.
That old truck can get the job done around the farm and fire trails no problem.
Love the “Hay Watch” theme!!!
I suppose the Crosstrek needs to go out to the farm and show everyone how it can handle the hill climbs, tug of wars and hail bay toss's. lol Great content here guys. Def. need to challenge all the trucks you have in the same manner.
That old truck is gorgeous
This is the exact reason why I got a 1996 f350 7.3 4 x 4. It’s strong and it’s comfortable
i love that 65. i have a similar f250 and i love it
Love your show. Been watching for yrs now. Who needs television. You guys are the best for automotive reviews on youtube.
I like both trucks but man that old beast is bad ass
Andrea: dont try this at home.
Every rancher farmer: too late been there done that.
Yep 😂
That was just a fun video ! Thanks TFL and David for giving us a chance to yak yak !
David looks like an awesome guy, I love the old skool F-100 too but the 250 is sweet. If you include the vertical movement during the slug-o-war, the F-100 takes the win due to bouncing.
Would have been interesting to see how much deflating the tires would have helped the 65 on towing up the hill. The 65 is awesome. Cool video
I don't know why but I'm not saying that I Don't like new trucks but I really like the designs on some old trucks better than today's trucks
That old ford was pretty much an enclosed cab farm tractor,suits me to a T. I had an 05 super duty with the 6 speed granny low. 3" lift kit and 35/12.50/17 bfg mud terrains. It was a helluva truck that I should of kept.
The 65 costs less and will do a fine job for a lot of years.
New truck is awesome but almost impossible to fix yourself old truck is nice and it can always be worked on by the owner.
Guys, please do MORE of this!
For the price I would take the old 65 Ford and spend the money I saved on some cool upgrades. NP540 transmission, Atlas transfer case, selectable lockers.
If I’m being honest, I’d rather have the old truck.
Same. It will run forever
Same
I would get the new truck, sell it, and then have tons of old trucks. If I weren’t allowed to sell it, I would get the old truck.
@@johnnyrocket6588 I prefer older trucks as well. They run forever if maintained and no electronic crap to deal with
@@johnnyrocket6588 this mans got the plan
put lockers under that old truck and it will do any work task that the new one can do.
I luv that 65 FORD!!!
Here's a challenge:
Replace a starter or alternator or thermostat or belts or fuel pump... A) within 15 minutes & B) for less than $100 & using no more than $50 worth of tools
Now put a 351 or something like it in that f100 and watch it drag that new f150 around all day!
Great fun test... I doubt the new model will last 40+ years
If you don't do your own wrenching, the new truck. If you do, the old truck.
NP435 has a 6.69:1 first gear ratio and yes you can out walk it. The T18 is very close to that also and some T19's.
I'd still rather have the 1965.
That little chainsaw, lol! Time too upgrade Andre!
Actually, both trucks in the tug of war DID move an inch. It was just down instead of forward.
That was surprising, the old dog more than held its own on the tug of war.
@@timclaus8313 well they were on some pretty soft ground so both trucks instantly dug pretty deep holes and any truck in a hole that deep is damn hard to move.
@@warrenmcelroy4718 True that. Had an '65 Chevy shorted with a 230, 4 speed and 4.56 rear end. Two drive post, and it would climb a wall. Trans had a 7.50 first gear, it was an old oil field truck previously owned by Chevron of California. Climbed some pretty steep hills with full loads of split wood with that truck. Think one of the disadvantages the old girl had on the hill was the Tremor weighed a whole lot more.
You can tell David is a working man the paint on the bar is worn off his saw. I like him.
Challenge: However out the muddy floorboards WITHOUT breaking anything
Love the video and the part that David said there is not microchip
This video is a testament to show that ford knows how to make a good truck and improve it with every generation of truck. Anyways a trucks a truck regardless of what badge it's got on the grill. If your truck is doing the job great you needed it for then it matters not if its dodge, ford, chevy gmc, Toyota, or Nissan though we can agree Honda ridgeline ain't anything good.
I'm not too surprised that the old Ford couldn't pull the F-250 up the mountain. With that huge weight difference, not really a fair test. The '65 did do well though in the tug of war. But I'm sure on pavement it would have been a different story. Again due to the massive discrepancy in weight. Just not fair comparisons.
The orange one has potential.
Kaizen
Is that new diesel truck superior in ability yes but man that old ford is cool.
This is a great video, excellent quality
That 1965 ford is my dream truck
The old truck fought well, held its own on the pull test
I said it before, but you guys need to do more videos with David. Send like a down to earth genuinely nice guy. I know most of these videos with him are for fun, but it is entertaining for the viewers too.
I'd take the old one any day!
These guys crack me up 😂 chainsaw scene was classic.
Kent n David should do a video on trucks!!😀
If Kent and David do a video together it will be an atomic explosion too much truck knowledge on one screen we couldn't stand it
@@kingshawn1857 It would still be interesting to watch thou
@@R.Nelson oh yeah no doubt for sure 👍
The f100 would look good in my driveway
Quite a difference in weight on the hill. That old truck is a beast.
Don't think I've ever seen a farmer's truck with tyres that good. In fact they look identical to the ones on the new Ford. Coincidence?
Should upgrade the Old Ford with a stronger engine and newer transfer case and axles!! Then it well be a beast!!!
This shows the difference between A 300 STRAIGHT 6 AND A 7.3 WHITH EVERY THING IN FORDS RESERCH DEPARTMENT THROWN AT IT. Wow what a surprise the $70,000 truck with close to 400hp can beat a 185hp 300 straight 6 even on a 250 frame. But it was fun to watch thanks. I just get a bunch of crap from people with Raptors
When driving my 71 f100 on 44's with a 300 6cyl I just laugh and pass'm when their trucks get a little wet, die and get stuck!!!
Andre & Tommy huge fan here and second to comment. Yesssss.
BOTH trucks have their place. Think of it as a tool and both can work. Both have pro's and con's, weaknesses and strengths.
I haz a '78 F1504x4300cinp435np205 that I'm 3/4ton axle'n up and already EFI'd and learning can bus for a NOx sensor for a triple nipple catalytic... cos we all's breath! oh and turbo.
I have a 2021 7.3 f250 I love it but I do love the old truck
I got a 81 f100 and while the new one might be good when it works but on a rural Australian if I can’t fix it with a shifter and a screwdriver the downtime isn’t worth it. I mean a fuel pump takes 2 weeks to get here. And yes with a 4.1l and t18 it will crawl up a hill
I'll take the orange one.
There both Excellent but the old one r Easier to fix but the new ones they came along way they both have their strong avengers
That new truck against a 90s f350 7.5 that'd be fun to watch. 4 door vs 4 door.
I loved the review guys 😁
Back on the farm...woohoo!
It looks like your F 100/F250 with an F 600 engine is the original hybrid that was created before any Toyota Prius. But as cool as it is, I think that the Tremor has it beat in every metric minus ease of service and purchase price.
David takes one look at that Andres chainsaw and his eyes said no, Electric Joe, that is not a chainsaw!
Now that that is done let’s hook them up to 15,000 pounds
I’d like the drive train and chassis from the new truck under the 65. Best of both worlds
Oh shoot y'all in Colorado heck yeah. I live in Johnstown that farm kinda looks familiar but there's soooooo many farms around here. Well I hope that you guys are taking care of those trucks mainly the old one
Yes they have because many truck drivers have gotten soft. Most truck owners don’t use them as trucks, they’re just cars. They don’t go off road, they don’t do any serious hauling/work, etc.
Id rather have the old one....someday i would love to have a 77-79 ford. And i will say the old trucks will out last the new ones
Last great Ford truck was built in 1979, junk thereafter.
@@jamesford2942 i wouldnt say junk but i agree that the 70s fords were the best
Both trucks are great
This mans is choosing death starting that chainsaw
That ol 65 ford will pull heavy loads I own and drive a 64 ford and haul 15,000 lbs with her daily. If you actually give it some gas it will do the job. Sounds like to me this is a ford commercial trying to sell you a new ford super duty. They didn’t want to even show you the ol girl can still do the job
Man oh man..TFL makes my day everday..thank you guys..seriously..thank you...the tremor..i like 👍
😂😂😂😂 love it!
Sheww wet moldy hay, nothing's worst then that
Keep the Yak Ranch videos coming!
