I dont u derstand why most people spend all this money of trucks and equipment and treat them like crap. You are a rare owner, i would feel comfortable buying used from you
Thank you. I just bought a used car for my wife and it blows my mind how people don’t take care of such a big investment
Wow! You are the kind of owner everyone dreams of purchasing a used truck from.
Thank You! I try to cover all the details. I like them clean, looking good, and caring their keep!
Thanks for the review Rob, I like your no nonsense style. I know these are good trucks. Ive never owned one myself, but have friends that do. I've had more experience with the Econoline vans, both gas and diesel, and they're pretty good trucks too. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Bob! You’re exactly right, Ford has been successful with their trucks and vans because they focus on their bread and butter- work trucks. They’re savvy enough to build the trimmed out expensive vehicles that make bigger profits, but they understand that making decent looking work trucks with some basic options available on them will turn that work truck buyer into a fancy truck buyer in time.
A real long term review with using the truck what it’s meant to do!
A + review!
Thank you!
Happy 2024, Rob! Great review, you are really realistic and down to earth, also about the emissions stuff etc. For me as a European it's really interesting to go into all the details of these trucks, since we don't really have them over here. Of course US pickups are sold in small numbers here but not the heavy duty versions. People would just buy a small coe commercial truck with a trailer 😅
Thank You, and Happy New Year! It’s definitely a different world here in the US, we have the room for pickup trucks that can tow 40-50’ trailers that weigh 15 tons. Cool equipment, but In some ways it makes things less ingenuitive - solutions come easy when you can just build something bigger and more powerful.
Nice review and nice looking truck !
Appreciate that!
Awesome you are local! I’m just south in White Lake. I have the 2020 F450 STX with 165k. Absolutely the best truck I have ever had. I have had no issues as well except the DEF heater crapping out at 140k. Absolutely a home run with these F450s.
I couldn’t agree more, They are bulletproof trucks. I love mine as much as the day I brought it home . Thanks for watching, neighbor!
Would love some videos of you working the truck! You got a New sub now!
I will try to do that, out of all my videos, I’ve never done a 450 working video. Thank You and welcome!
I know the feeling my ‘93 f350 rides like a tank, rough and ready. Great review on a well maintained work truck, also you sound like Mike Rowe you have the same golden radio voice…
Hahaha strangely enough I’ve heard that before. I’ve been driving my Volvo car around lately- it saves fuel, wear and tear on the truck, and I find that I really look forward to letting the truck just do “truck things” instead of being a grocery getter.
@@robstruckshop80 I have a Mini Cooper for the same purpose
Hi Rob, first of all, Happy New Year to you and your Family, got to admit I do love the F series Ford's, but unfortunately here in the UK the biggest pickup we have is the Ford Raptors & I'm not a fan, plus they're not man enough for what I do, but hay ho, I would love to own a F Series but the export import fees are horrendous for us, but one thing I wanted to suggest is with your rear view camera fogginess, I did this with mine and it helped, if you take a toothpaste like arm and hammer with baking soda in it, put some on the lens and polish it out with a lint free cloth it does help clear the lens, I do the same thing with headlights when they start to fog up or the lens starts to go dull, saves a little money and it's only a little time to do, hope this helps, good luck for 2024, keep up the great work Brother.
Thanks, Brother, I’ll try that with the rear camera. I think it also has done condensation behind the lens and it’s often black when the truck is cold, so is probably due for a replacement anyway, but that might get me by for a bit. I also don’t mind going back to relying on the mirrors to hook a trailer like I always used to before technology took the place of skill!
@robstruckshop80 completely agree, the technology is supposed to make life easier, but the younger ones among us are completely lost when the tech either goes wrong or just shuts down, you're like me where when we learned, you had to use your mirrors and skill level just to pass the test in the first place, I got my licence back in 1990, when here in the UK the first computers were going into cars, so everything was primitive, and now it's just gone down hill, I see some younger drivers and I have to wonder if they got their licence off the back of a corn flakes box. And they have the tech to make it easier, I think I'm just getting old and don't understand why they have to have such a reliance on technology, sorry for the whinge my friend, keep up the great work.
I love a truck that works and that type of truck wants to work!
Thank you. My thoughts exactly
Great review. Ford has a replacement option for the camera. They will do it for free
I had someone else mention that in the comments right after I published the video, I’ve since had it replaced under warranty. Thank you!
Thank you for the video! I just picked up a 2024 F350 SRW 6.7HO Platinum Tremor. I got it to tow a 18,000 pound fifth wheel RV. Coming out of a 2020 Ford Raptor that I absolutely loved. I can stay without reservation that this truck is absolutely amazing. I like it better than I did the Raptor. I spent a boatload of money on it and did consider the F450 since I’m at the top of my payload and GCWR. I like the idea that I might one day take it Offroad, which is highly unlikely. I was curious to see what your reliability had been and if you kept your truck completely “stock”. I am in Texas and so certain parts tend to fall off around here. Against my better judgment, I did buy all of the extended warranties just because I don’t want to spend any money on potentially high dollar items.
It sounds like at least from the video you didn’t have any repairs. That was good to hear.
Correct, I’ve had very few repairs that weren’t regular maintenance, really just a radiator hose and the front end parts that wear prematurely based on my use. I’ve absolutely had zero issues with those “certain parts” that tend to fall off in Texas. (They tend to do that here in Michigan a lot as well) The F450 is a no-go off road, so your choice makes perfect sense and is very well suited to your needs. Good luck with it and thanks for watching
@@robstruckshop80That’s good to hear, thank you for the response!
hi ,you sound like radio talk show host. Great voice.. have you considered a 2024 limited f450 diesel? you should and you deserve it.
Haha thank you
Don't disagree with your recommendation to get an F350 if you don't need the towing capacity, but you should also mention that (in 2023/24 trucks) only the F450 has the wide front axle and MUCH tighter turning radius than the F350 dually (which has smaller wheels). There are more factors than just the capacity.
That caveat actually goes back to the entire history of the modern Super Duty, not just 23/24- the 450+ has always been wide track axle only
My 19 350 has 122k had a pan gasket leak replaced under warranty and a coolant leak fixed myself. I’m happy with it.
Stories like that are pretty impressive for 122k miles. Prior to the 80’s and even into the 90’s a lot of pickups were considered mostly worn out as they approached 200k. I know they cost more nowadays, but you get a lot of power, features and reliability for that money,
@@robstruckshop80my dad bought a 7.3 powerstroke in 2001 brand new and it blew a transmission at 60k miles and had a few issues before 100k. I know of a lot of people with 6.7s that haven’t had nothing major go wrong over 200k miles.
@JoshuaOverman That’s a perfect example. 7.3’s were great motors in their day as were the trucks they put them into, but 30 years of technology and experience means they build a better everything now!
@@robstruckshop80 agreed 👍🏼
Mines at 116k. So far so good. There is a recall for the cameras. FREEEEEE. 😬😬😬
Dang, I just logged into my FordPass app and saw that, glad they notified me! Thank you, my friend!
The front and rear camera should be free to replace by a Ford recall. Check your dealer, he might be able to get you hooked up for both of them still 👍
After I shot the video, I did have the dealer replace three rear camera. They didn’t mention the front being part of the recall but I’ll survive, I don’t think I’ve ever used it 😂. Thank you, and thanks for watching
Original CP4 fuel pump? If so, any specific care used to help prolong its life? Filters, draining water intervals, fuel additives, etc?
It is the original pump. I change filters twice as often as ford recommends and run some diesel extreme additive through it every now and then. I’ve had the S&S diesel disaster prevention kit sitting on the shelf for almost 2 years, just haven’t made time to install it. I know the CP4 has issues, but I also think it’s made out to be worse than it is because of the internet.
I bought a new 2021 f450. It's always vibrated in the rear over 70 since new. Put new tires on it and had shaft balanced. Didn't fix it. Does yours vibrate in the rear on the highway over 70?
The only time I’ve ever had significant vibrations with mine is when I’ve had a bad steer tire. When running empty, it is a bit rough and bouncy, but of course that’s to be expected with us spring ride truck in this GVWR range.
What do you think you will use as your daily driver? F150? Or something smaller?
Smaller for sure. Possibly an SUV like an explorer but honestly I like the simplicity, efficiency and low repair cost of a car. In my world that probably means a FoMoCo or Volvo product. I want some creature comforts too. My short must have list is good power (I like quick cars), heated leather, and hands free calling.
hi your getting 12.3 mpg on a f450, I have a 2023 honda ridgeline rtl-e, and I'm getting 12.9 in the city, and 18 hwy. I have 5400 miles on my truck. I'm getting a new bigger truck.
After waiting 18 months for 2023 F450 Limited, I chose to get 2023 Ram 3500 Limited HO 6.7 DRW with 4.10 Gear. It already comes with TPMS and it is riding smooth. I came from F350 Lariat DRW 6.7 LWB so I am very familiar with Ford. Why doesn't Ford put Centramatic from the beginning to keep it run more smooth?
Sounds like a very nice truck. Personally I’m just not a Chrysler product buyer, but I know plenty of people that love them.
@@robstruckshop80 I love Ford's more, but F450 was too hard to get.
As I start planning retirement, I want to get a truck and RV. Your point about daily driving, on days I’m not RVing, I would probably drive to check on my parents about 600 miles away and back. Would driving empty for those trips be awful enough to warrant having a car for those trips? Majority of it would be up and down I95.
I would say no, it’s not a horribly rough ride, but it is a truck that’s built to tow 36,000 pounds and have 2 1/2 tons in the bed. In your case, I would say it comes down to how often you’re going to be making those trips. If it’s on a regular basis, I would seriously consider having a car to drive. For me, it’s not just the ride, it’s ease of parking, the ability to fit in more places, and most importantly, the cost of wear and tear. It’s a lot more expensive to replace worn out tires, brakes, and all the other usual items on an F450 vs a typical passenger vehicle.
Have fun, planning and enjoying retirement!
@@robstruckshop80 good point, 6 tires is expensive on top of the massive brakes. Not sure if you can answer it, but how does it handle the snow? Would the stock tires do ok in snowy weather?
@@DannyPimienta yes, and a good 19.5 tire is twice as much as a good passenger car tire. Brakes are at least double the average car. The Continentals that come stock on 450s are a decent tire and actually give pretty good winter traction. Since then I’ve had a set of more aggressive tires that were a little bit better in snow, and now I have more of a highway tire as I showed the video. The winter traction on these isn’t as good but it’s still pretty respectable. I’ve actually been very impressed with the trucks winter traction and can run in 2 wheel drive most of the time until the snow gets, few inches deep
hi ,my math states that you have paid $95,000 dollars in diesel to drive 165496 miles. that's not bad. I mean your comfortable and in control of your trailer. I really think you should test drive a 2024 f450 limited ,please let us know what you think.
Actually at around 11pm I think it’s closer to $60k. I’d love to test drive a new one, but it’s just not in the budget for another couple years, so I don’t want to tempt myself!
Thanks, im looking for a King Ranch F450
I’m jealous! I didn’t mention that I also upgraded to quality LED headlights on mine, your King Ranch will have those along with a ton of other options
@@robstruckshop80 if you could have upgraded to the lariat or KR if you knew now what you knew then? Yeah it’s probably another 15k or so from trim levels. If I’m spending anything around 70K for the vehicle I’m going to be comfortable
I definitely would have if budget allowed. At the time I was eating a lot of cost after engine failure on my 2011 F350 6.7 so I was on a budget, and I was working out of my truck every day. Back then I only paid 60k out the door with tax for this truck.
I had an 06 F250 with the 6.0 completely stock with 400K before the FICM took a dump. Debating on pulling the trigger but love no payments lol keep putting out great videos
@Dopey77 payments definitely suck! Thanks, Brother
My dream truck
Does it run Adblue?
It does run DEF. My dream truck too!
Weird how they build these. My 2019 has the maintenance free ccv, no bolts to open a cover to replace a filter. My ccv is the filterless.
That is really strange. I had heard there was variation on the ccv but wouldn’t have expected it within model years. Whether it’s good or bad, I can attest that the serviceable units are prone to filling up
@@robstruckshop80 you can switch to the filterless, many have, saves you a headache from changing. Glad you have luck with your truck, original cp4 I presume. I'm at 65k on mine, only issue I've had was replacing number 8 glow plug at 46k. I do go overboard on maintenance. Oil changes at 5k along with a fuel filter kit. Draining the water separator once per month, I so a fluid and filter change on the tranny every 30k, and already changed out my coolant, brake and power steering fluid. Rotate my tires every other oil change, changed front and rear diffs at 50k. I only have two zerks, one on each front drive shaft ujoints, they get new grease once per year and I remove my 4x4 hub once per year and regrease those, they are prone to being hard to engage if not used enough. I never plan to get rid of the truck, my plan is to give it to my daughter for her first vehicle 11 years from now so I do go overboard on taking care of it. Best of luck to you!
custom built is $117,000 usd.
Uh... coming from a 3rd gen ram 2500, the 2024 f-450 rides like my mom's gx460 in comparison 🫥
I drove all the trucks from toyota, Nissan, Ford, GM, & Ram. It came down to an f-450 or a rebel hd 2500 with the air suspension.
I'm getting the f-450 since ram has such a crap interior quality even with the level 2 package. They ride about the same to me.
You might want to try out the '23 & '24s, since they are a night & day difference in terms of ride quality over the '19s.
By the time I replace this truck it’ll probably be a 26 or 27. At the end of the day, a truck still rides like a truck, especially in this gvw range. Thanks for watching!
6k lbs for the front axle is so low on that truck! My 17 SRW CCSB 6.7 is 5990!
They don’t really change it because that rating is based on the max capacity of the Dana 60 that’s up front in all Super Duties. You’re right though, something in the neighborhood of a 7000-7500 capacity would be better in a 450. Ford…. Are you listening?!
