"What kind of tires does it have?"
"Uh, we have Michelins"
Thanks dude. You da real MVP
Hahaha exactly what I was thinking. It amazes me how little these company reps know about what they should know literally everything about
Before he says that, if you look at the spare tire mounted under the bed, they have a Goodyear Wrangler mounted...
Hahaha this guy is great
😂😂😂😂
Around the 4:00 mark the guy said he was scraping the skid plate. Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like he's hitting the thing in the front that hangs down.
I can really feel the passion from the Ford Rep regarding this beautiful truck.
It's pretty sad when the Honda Ridgeline guy is more enthusiastic and informative than the ford Super Duty guy...
or that you know more than the person you're interviewing lol
+Alex Biggs yup I test drove a older f350 and the ford guy I had with me didn't know the power and tourque figures of the engine
+Alex Biggs I got a ram1500 ecodiesel instead I had a free 12 month lease and then 18 months at regular...the lease is gonna expire next month
Where's Mike Sweers when we need him!? OH!! That's right!! He's with the Toyota Tacoma lol 😕
+Night Fury the tacoma can't haul much I had it when my rx450h was in for repairs, it's 3.5 liter engine is great, driving is great, I had it hooked up to a 4000 pound trailer...it wasn't struggling but it was hitting quite high rpms (4000+), at 110kph on slight elevation changes
for my tastes they totally nailed the look of those trucks
StoneysWorkshop I think theyr3 doing a great job implementing great design and technology against the competition.
Ford Guy: "Yes. Yes. Yes. Stop asking questions!"
Nice video but the ford guy seem like he doesn't know much
Ya he didn't
Worse than being uninformed, he just seemed like he didn't care. Maybe it was a long day and Andre was the last in line to test, and he was tired of being tossed around all day and repeating the same talking points over and over.
well maybe he was new on the job
tipical dealership dum guy
he used to sell Chevy's
I like how they show the press doing things in the truck that the warranty doesn't allow.
I too have "uh Michelin's" on my truck.
Pylos Militia Productions lol
I really love the 360 view. It could definitely come in handy while parking in a tight parking spot and parallel parking.
great job tfl! you guys are the official go to channel for trucks for me now
Thank you! We work very hard to be the first with new truck videos!
Yes, TFL Truck is the best channel for trucks!!
My uncle has used his 99 f250 with 6 inch lift v10 to tow, do jumps with up to like 8 feet of air and drive through water deeper than any daily driver I've ever seen do. I'm not even strictly a ford fan but after years of that it is still running good at over 200k miles
when the ford guy says floor it.... MASH IT! hahahahaha
who the hell would buy a f250 platinum gas?...
People who doesn't need to tow anything heavier than 8 tons and may occasionally carry something heavy in the bed that the diesel-equipped F250 is not rated for.
*If you had half a brain then you could put a Supercharger on it.*
and still have far less power and at that point spend more on gas. 900+ pounds of torque out of the box with the diesel. don't even pretend that a gas supercharged could compare.
Diesel so overrated. As a diesel tech I can make that statement. Unless you're towing super heavy diesel is a waste of money. Going to weigh more as well. So for instance if you want to put a camper in the bed of your truck you have to account for the engine weight in your GVWR.... that means it takes about 400 pounds away from your load. Also more $$$ to maintain. Diesel is great... but most guys running around in diesels... I've never seen tow anything. They think it's a status symbol when really you are just letting the rest of us know.... how stupid you really are.
Kirk Williams You got that right. Won't buy a diesel again unless i absolutely need it, offered a crazy deal that i can't resist, diesel becomes dirt cheap again or just filthy rich lol.
That was the coolest Ford rep I've ever seen in any video.
I just wish these trucks were cheaper, i work at a factory making nearly $15 hr (alot in my area) and i couldnt even afford the Base model F250 XL (crew cab).
2017/2018 regular cab long bed 4x4 XLT Ford F250 with the 6.7 liter powerstroke is the one you guys should test in the future, it's the best value proposition aswell as by far the highest performance and most capable both in respect of utility and offroad prowess. One would have to tick the right boxes to ensure it is the 'Right' one but that is the case with all pickups.
My brotherinlaw just bought one of these used in the XLT, really nice, he’s wanted one for YEARS, he’s so proud of it. Traded in a 2001 Ram quad cab 2500 with low miles, and looked new, 35’s, wheels, and he got 21k for it!!
I love my 2022 ford f250 STX Fx4 6.2 these trucks are pretty awesome. I know they retired the 6.2 in 2023 I’m really happy I got one before they stopped production
Disabling the auto running boards is smart stuff from Ford.
ford still a king
I miss the independent reviews TFL used to do. These factory demos not only limited what you can do while testing vehicles, but limit what information you have/film/print. As comprehensive as your reviews once were, I expected TFL to be the first to publish mpg's for these trucks.
"uhhh we have Michelins"
1:51 It must be jelly, because jam don't shake like that‼️🍔🍟🌭🍕
LOL, you almost hit the rock anyway.
@ 6:56 Andre immediately remembers his misadventure in the Plan B HUMVEE/HMMWV.
I'd never buy a ford, but surprisingly that Ford guy riding along is one of the most straightforward press guys I've seen.
He doesn't constantly spout out bullshit talking points like the Honda Ridgeline guy
Yeah because he doesn't know shit :D
I had my 1999 f-250 7.3 long box with 3.5 ton of rock. built Ford tough!!! aka the beast
YUP!! This truck fit me and the xlt premium package gives u pretty much the Lariat pkg and runs about 42k. And the dealer can usually get around 4 to 5k knocked off purchase.
FREAKING AWESOME TRUCK
I would LOVE to take my ranger on this course. Got the fx4 package as well. Very curious to see how well it would do...
I saw this truck at the Syracuse NATIONALS and it's tall and I am 6 FT and 9 in
0:56 is the best part. Thanks bro!
2 more years and I'm trading in my silverado for one of these with the 6.2l and the fx4 package. probably white base model. the only options I want is power windows, 4x4, and 4 doors.
awesome truck!! i have a 2002 f-250.. 6.8L gasser!
love the look an the way it rides. I got 2016 F-150 4x4 an it's awesome. have u guys actually noticed or realized how much room u have in a F-150 crew cab compared to a crew can of a chevy or dodge? at least dodge has a maga cab but I think why offer a small cab an give another size cab for a higher price. bit yeah. love the spacious room. can't go wrong with a F-150
I heard a scrape!
"yeah uhh skidplate."
this is one of the few trucks you can get an offroad package in regular cab...the ford f250 has always been one of the best stock vehicles for the dirt. mainly because they are so tough they can take the severe abuse
Pretty cool the guy actually tells you to nail it lol. Much better course than the ram rebel video.
Its been a while since i watched this channel so do not get mad at me but happened to the other guys? I liked them. Not that im saying the newer person does a bad job.
At 3:03, you guys notice the truck is in 2WD? Or is it just the angle of the camera that makes it look that way?
I have an Ford Explorer and when idling it automatically shuts off after 15 minuets if you dont manually disable it does this truck do that? Also when you get out of it with the key fob in your pocket when it is running (say you forgot something in your house and had to grab it) it honks at you twice, which can get extremely annoying, does this truck do that as well?
I'm not really a big fan of trucks but I still have a soft spot for them
Cool ford super duty video .
can you please do a mashup of trail worthy compact vehicles? I need to move back to the states in 6 months and don't want to park a giant vehicle in DTLA. thanks.
Solid front axle or IFS? The front suspension articulation on this truck looks really generous.
Pretty sure the FX4 package doesn't include the e-locker... it's a separate option, unless I'm mistaken.
if i had the money this would definitely be the truck i would buy!
I thought the mesh bar grill was reserved for the new F series with diesel engines only???
To Ford: you guys have a pretty bad employee representing this truck and the company, the man didn't seem knowledgeable about the truck and mumbled and just agreed to everything Andre was saying.
He might have known Andre knew more anyway. I usually want my salesperson to shut up...never have I had one more knowledgeable than I am about the truck. I just verify items of the spec sheet...I know how they work. If you are serious about getting one of these trucks you'll know the details already too...especially if you're dumb enough to pay that 68k sticker
I dont like the little plastic gate under the front fender, why lower the clearance size??
got to drive a 2017 test raptor. it was cool
I want one. I like the badboy look. Looks tough coming the highway. Tall stance. I would glass pack the exhaust. Imagine the sound of the mufflers coupled to a big 6.2 engine. They would holler
I would run 90 bends behind the tires instead of straight out beneath the bumper
maybe in a diesel not gas !
im really impressed :D it looks great
It blows my mind that ford hasn't made a high performance SD truck yet but they'll make a 10spd, twin-turbo, Fox performance baja truck. The SD's ride technology is old an outdated while Dodge has switched to rear coils which rides great compared to leafs and can handle nearly as much weight. Also not offering a IFS is silly, now days they are super reliable and offer such a nice ride. Now i get it, if I want a nice ride get a F150 but I tend to tow in the 20,000lb range which I don't wanna push on a F150. Simply put a SD with IFS and a rear coil link suspension would ride and tow beautifully and ride like a caddy, kinda. I've checked the towing specs on Chevys and Dodges and they are equal to or close to fords depending on what model. Can ya'll imagine a 8spd or 10spd SD with a twinturbo charged 5.0 or 6.2, or the 5.2 running a IFS with rear coils and fox shocks!? It'd be pricey but fox coilovers front and back would be insane and I would buy that instantly, and I'm sure other would too. Before anyone loses their mind some spies have reported ford 2017 SD models will come later with a 10spd and either a 5.0 or a H.O. ecoboost 3.5, and if ford is willing to go to a smaller motor that means that the towing is the same as the 6.2 and thempg must be the same or better.
Can I get wifi on heated remote mirrors, I'm blind so I have to use verbal commands to drive, It has to be in German also
Def is why I'm going gas over diesel. I only tow 8k anyways and only about 2k payload. I just think the f250 handles it better than my silverado 1500 did beside I slipped my order in with a fleet purchase and got a white 2017 f-250 4x4 crew cab short bed XL for 27k yes it had crank windows and no it doesn't have cruise control but msrp on this truck was 40k. I was gonna buy a dodge 3500 6.7l for 50k but for half the price I'm happy with my choice.
I think I am going to check my local Ford to see what is the pricing of a dually 350 with the 6.2 in it.
Guys, can you do a full review on the 6.2 SD?
The interior of the new Super Duty is IDENTICAL to the F150.
Did this unit have pro trailer back up assist? at 60,000+?
Doesn't the power output seem a little low for a huge 6.2l v8
900+ft torque platinum edition I want one...but what about my LML?
go off-roading with the same truck, in dually. I don't think you've ever off-roaded a dually.
Why does the front bumper have that little black thing decreasing the ground clearance. What is the point of that. I find it easy to rub on the ground if u hit a bigger bump or something. I've seen it on other trucks and i never knew why , since the side skirts and the back bumper don't have the same
it supposedly increase fuel economy. I took it off my 2013 f250
almost 70gs for a truck and its not even a diesel thats ridiculous
Ecoboost 3.5 litre with the twin turbo gets almost the same torque as a diesel, unfortunately petrol and diesel costs will still bite into your wallet. Would be interesting and better if the Ecoboost engine can maintain the same torque and power in CNG/LPG?
+zbudda the diesel makes over 900 ft lbs... the ecoboost isn't even close.
+zbudda torque or hp?
+IDITURBO The Ecoboost 3.5 lire makes 420 ft lbs, compared to the gas 6.2 V8 that makes 405 ft lbs. Obviously no match for a 6.7 litre power stroke with 860 ft lbs.
Miguel Perez the diesel has 440 hp while the eco boost has 365 hp. I will say the eco boost is very strong.
@3:42 some good glitching of the passenger side front headlight
That's just LEDs, camera frames move at a different speed so it appears to glitch. Watch Doug demuros bugatti review and he'll explain
How many feet of ground clearance is there on the truck?
what a nice truck
Agree
same
does the front camera system come standard in all models?
just love the Ford guy's personality he's soooo fucking over it
the 6.2 should make at least 400 horsepower and at least the 5.0 in the f150 makes 385 hp and 387 tq the 6.2 should beat it in hp by a good margin
the 6.2 is detuned to achieve better mpg then in the raptor.
+Eric Fortune yup what really blows my mind is the 2017 6.7L diesel, holy S**t 925lb/ft😮 of torque, you call tow almost as much as a semi truck with all that twisting power.
+Eric Fortune haha "big v8" my 7.5L 460 in my 86 f250 is a "big v8"
+Phantom197 those 460 are beasts, my cousing has an F100 with a 460 4 barrel carb and it lays down rubber at will lol its a torque monster.
nice! must be a drag car or something? f100s didnt come with 460s. Got a new eddy carb on mine today
that thing is so awesome
Wouldn't mind having one with the 6.2....full exhaust cold air intake and a decent tune n I'm good to go
Might sound nuts but put on a supercharger
+billy heaton the diesel 6.7 with a straight pipe and tunes would beat the gas and most other vehicles
+billy heaton 7-10 psi n its a beast
Aaron Jones that would be a dream truck for me
+billy heaton I agree
How recently was this filmed? I feel like I passed this truck on Indiana a few days ago.
Anyone else wonder what it sound like ? Probably sounds like the current model but more aggressive
Shame Ford removed those square fender flares on the previous models. It would of looked great with that new grill.
Soooooo do the cameras come with little pissers and wipers so when you're off road and covered in mud they can still see the rocks?
idk why I watch this vid that truck is out of my price range. I thought the starting msrp gonna be 62 gran. it has a mixture of a f150. But Ford done it again with another great truck, lets just see how many going to go broke buying it.
You can just buy a base for around $30,000.
+Dodge 318 Cummins yea with nothing in it, but I havent seen one or heard of one for that price. because standard msrp for ford might be that price, but it wont at the dealership. they might mark it up to 10 gran to make profit.
+Sam 250 XL 6.2 Fx4 for 41k
+Sam for that price you can get a Cummins 2500 or 3500 dually!
check out prices on new ones on auto trader could score a good deal that is how my dad found his f-350 it was below MSRP granted it was 6.2. at least give it will give you good barging chip to start with.
the guy in the passenger seat is like" dude just drive the truck and shut the hell up " haha he seemed annoyed.
I love this model f250 17 go hard ford
Kinda seemed the demo dude was more of a course guide than anything for example what kinda tires? Michelin, well no shit numb nuts what kinda tires A/T ? Size? What???? If I was Andre I'd have been ticked good to see he kept his composure
I hit like before watching...
Normally the manufacturer groomed courses make me cringe, but I found this one nicely demonstrative of the truck's features.
Good looking truck.
I like the new grill much better than the old one.
What is the motorcycle equivalent to a pickup truck?
Ok... Do a showdown with the Ram250
PowerWagon...🎯
Where in Golden is that course?
the tires on this truck do it a disservice, it should have had bf Goodrich k2s, all terrains. I have a 2005 350 ive in northern Canada and always run bf Goodrich all terrains
I'm a Chevy guy but that is a very nice truck. Good job ford, but I really think you should do something about your fuel mileage, Chevys 6.2 puts out 420hp, and I believe you kept the hp down to compete against the 6.2 Chevy mileage, you really should put more money into r and d and get better mileage.
They are waiting but I bet serious money within 7 years they have a turbo gas engine in that thing.
Chevy's 6.2 is only in the 1500. It certainly isn't developed to do the same amount of work as the Super Duty's 6.2. Plus the EcoTech 3 6.2 V8 requires premium. It's a good engine for cars and SUVs though.
GM's HDs run the old 6.0 Vortec. Not a super powerful V8, but one thing it IS super at is reliability.
+SurelyYewJest don't the 6.2 come in the Chevy 2500.?
Ranjit no
It's the best super duty ever!
The spare tyre was a GoodYear Wrangler lol
Please take this truck to the gold mine and see if it can make it, the only thing id change on this truck is the engine for the diesel and the color. Other than that it's perfect!
dam! i have a 07 escape that can do pretty much that ford will do too! even more then that!
Is it true this truck was sold as a loaner?
Wow , this is sweet 🤘
If you could get any new truck, which one would you pick? Other than the raptor
What's up gear Heads 2017 f250 (or a super snake
A used raptor (you did say "new")
when are you guy going to drive 6.7 powerstroke
Someone else brought it up but it bears repeating: the tires are Michelin's but the spare is a Goodyear Wrangler !!!See for yourself 0:50
