It's the circumference of the tire, not its overall height, especially mounted, that dictates vehicle speed and distance. Aired down could totally account for a 1" drop in height, I bet the spedo is still slightly off.
All the videos I've watched of the F-250 appear to be advertisements for aftermarket stuff. I get it, they are trying to earn a living, and I'm sure all that makes it perform better. But I don't think they've done anything that they couldn't have done with a stock truck. Maybe the OEM tires would have struggled a bit on some of the loose stuff I guess. It would have been more useful for potential owners to try this stuff before adding everything...then we'd be able to see if the expensive costs are worth it.
Everything I’ve seen them do is possible with my stock 2018 F250 4x4. I don’t have the camper in the back and my only mod has been putting on stock size KO2s. This past weekend we were up around Ouray and took the passes from Ironton to Silverton. So far the only limiting factor has been the turning radius. Pick decent lines and use 4x4 before you get into trouble and you are fine.
I see your point about a standard FX4 with more aggressive tyres. TFL Truck wants too show how a stock FX4 can be specced to be tackle almost anything off road, while being good looking and individual as an everyday vehicle. A lot of people like to cutomize and all the alterations on the Super Tremor are functional.
I am not convinced that 7.3 litre pushrod V8 needs an after market tune just to carry a wee camper up hills. When did you boys forget that your truck is not a 2.5 litre turbo diesel. Remember, IT IS A 7.3 Litre gas engine. 🤔
You need to learn to use FORScan. It is a software dedicated to Ford vehicles that allows you to change operating parameters. You can run it on a computer or as an app and it will allow to you to address the individual control modules in the truck. You can calibrate the tire size through FORScan. As examples, you can make the engine temperature number appear above the dashboard indicator, program the number of blinks for the lane change indicator, etc.
@@GreghouseVanBouten its ok if its like 3.91 and 3.73 rear or something closer... its not ideal but ok to have a faster spinning rear gear ratio so that your rears slip... you dont really want to go the other way ... hat said, matching is best if you can afford it
@@GreghouseVanBouten You can do anything you want. If you don't want excessive wear or snappy axle shafts and yokes, you match the ratios. But be careful not to over do it, as you are technically shaving down material on your pinion gears the higher mechanical ratio you run. It's a dance between wheel torque and durability. an F-250 F-350 SRW doesn't have an issue so much as the front is a full float dana 60, and the rear is a Sterling 10.5. You can find about any ratio you want for both of those differentials. Invest in under body protection first, before anything else. Rule of thumb is, if it's old Chevy, modern Ford or Dana axles, you'll be able to find any assortment axle ratio kit for cheap, likely from a decent brand like Yukon. You can also get a lunchbox locker for the front while you're at it. Go cable or E locker for the front, as an auto locker is a pain on road for the front. Toyotas have an okay selection as well, but don't count on it being cheap. Tacomas are currently the #1 mall crawler rig right now, if you haven't noticed all of them running around in full overlanding garb with pristine paint and road worn tires. Because of that, shops that cater to that customer charge more, because they can get away with it.
I use to be a logging contractor based out of my home town of Montrose, Co. I logged the entire state and even Northern New Mexico and Southwestern Wyoming. I really appreciate your no payment needed videos. I got to say, though, that the roads you guys are on really ain't nothing comparatively. We were cutting roads worse than those, and traveling to and from the mill fully loaded in a log truck! You need harder content.
That land yacht is awesome guys! Just like it's fun seeing where you can get a little Jeep into places, it's also fun to see where you can get a "big gas" truck like that! You guys should throw out a couple dates of places you'll be testing different stuff. As a local from Colorado, I would try to get up on some of those days! Thanks for another great video guys! See you in the next one!
You should do some kind of offroad protection on the ford. maybe bumpers but definitely line-x or something cool. maybe just a paint protection film you recommend
When he said 60 psi I was like wtf! That's a freaking bomb! Then I was expecting him to go down to at least 16 but no lol... I run my car at 21 psi constantly 😂
those mountain roads are deceiving. visited a friend years back and 4 of us drove a rented explorer up Engineers Pass, CO. it was on my credit card and i was cursing them half way up. we ran into a 4wheel drive club at the top and they thought we were nuts. was a hell of a trip.
I can tell you right now that you'll need more than a 10klb winch to pull that F250 out of a real bog. That camper adds more weight for sure. I got my F250 bogged down to the frame, and it took a 12klb winch on a 1500 Ram, tied to a sideways 2500 Chevy as an anchor to get me out backwards. And that 12k Warn winch was struggling for sure! Didn't have an option for a snatch block.
Your best video in a long while because you really went somewhere. Poser rock was a serendipitous analogy. It's time for y'all to go explore the uncomfortable unknown.
This is the truck I'm gonna use for my pop up camper and 5x8 camping/hunting/ATV all in one trailer. Except a extender cab and 8' flatbed. Copy paste your lift and tuner. THX!!
I've been pricing the tremors with the 7.3 gas and they aren't really that expensive. Might be time to trade the king ranch in. I've been on that trail but never got that far. Next time we'll go visit the goats 🐐
I would totally go up there in my unmodified 2008 Mazda 2 hatchback, ive been driving it on dirt roads for 12 years and offroad for about 5, just keeping my wheels on the high parts, really wish i had a small ute like a suzuki Jimny (or Samurai in US) but for now my little 1.3 Mazda is doing just fine on the road less traveled
I've been trying to keep up with your Ford F-250 7.3, Question: In later videos it looks like you are not utilizing the 5-Star Tuner. Is this correct? I'm looking at the F-350 because of the larger rear axle and rear end. I'm also planning on the 4-wheel camper flat bed; all because of your videos. Thanks, Don
My grandfathers Rambler could do that trail. You guys are overcomplicating a simple idea. Car camping! Hyping products few will ever use. Yeah I am a surely old man. A stock truck with a topper is all you need. Sleeping bag, cooler, and it is time to boogie. Good to go! Yes I have F250 envy also.
You guys need to test this stuff at Kirwin Wyoming....River crossings, rock, hairpins, dropoff's, a ghost mine and plenty of Grizzlies. 2hrs to go about 9 miles. But get to the top and it's amazing. Can only go during July and August though. Springtime the river is running too fast to cross, Fall brings early snow and you want nothing to do with that road when it's slick.
Yeah... it always surprises me how gutless big american V8's are, I mean this thing is a freaking 7,3 litre!! I'm used to my buddies 3,6 V6 and it's a freaking powerhouse! Always way more power available than needed
You guys should put that camper on a ram power wagon as a comparison. I’ve been wondering if the power wagon would have enough payload / off road capabilities with that model trailer as a project.
Interesting. Def. great scenery. Nice to go to places you know so well that you are prepared for and know what to expect when working out new mods. and upgrades. Roman, Andre is correct in regards to, def. need to bring some doubling power for that winch if you think you might have to aid someone/something that is as heavy as what Andre was driving here.
Beautiful video with excellent videography (IMO). I love the use of the F250 as an overland rig. The entire altitude thing worries me as I stay around 800 feet above sea level, plus or minus a few hundred. I’m not really sure how you can read through the comments with so very many spelling and grammatical errors... and why are they so mean?
Torque numbers today are impressive. 475 for a gas V8 isn't bad at all. Back in the day, the classic 6-71 Detroit Diesel produced 600 lb ft and that powered all manner of busses and big trucks. Now we have pickup truck diesels with over 1,000 lb ft.
While realizing that all the goodies added to both the F250 and the Gladiator sure make for two incredible looking vehicles, plus add some offroad capability and cred, I can't help but think that both vehicles would have covered the same ground in this video in their factory stock form with no problem. For the average guy, these vehicles are already pretty stiff priced, even with dealer discounts and factory incentives. Add all those goodies and yikes, not to mention the bite you'll take if you ever wish to trade it in. The dealership will just laugh at you if you argue it's worth more because of those goodies. Not saying they won't mark it up considerably on resale, but you won't see much of a return on that investment in your trade dollars. And come on guys, that 1500# camper is a pittance of a load on that F250. And, center of gravity with it's low profile is a non issue.
ronald k , not sure I am following? Would you have preferred them to do all this in completely stock vehicles? Haven’t they already got hundreds of videos doing exactly that?
@@theseb1979 Nah...all I said was, for the average man and his pocketbook, the offroad capability of these two vehicles as they came from the factory is pretty darn good. What TFL has done with these two vehicles has made for great viewing, and of course given them much in the way of filming material. Would have been interesting though to see TFL traverse these same trails with these same vehicles before upgrading them.
Nope. Bigger tires make a speedometer read slower than actual and the odometer works the same. More miles per hour means more miles. For every 60 miles indicated, you actually travel 66.
Correct you are physically going farther but the odometer reads less. Hence 66mph only reads 60mph on the speedo so naturally your odometer would read less as well
The 7.3 is some 700 lbs lighter than the 6.7, so this excursion up the mountain should be fairly easy. Like to see the 5 star tune’s 0-60 without the camper on top. **Do a comparison video with a supercharged 7.3 vs. the 6.7**
So, say someone runs 35” tires and runs the tuner at 28” or something low. Then when they sell the truck, it will only have 80% of the actual miles... seems like something the consumer should not be able to play with
To be fair, did you guys swap the gears to a higher numerically ratio when you put the 37" tires on? Plus, like you said, you're carrying around extra weight. Do a a show on swapping the ring & pinions out.
Willie Moreno they bought a truck last minute out of dealer stock and either didn’t know better, there wasn’t one available locally or couldn’t be bothered.
Not like a slim wallet or squarespace commercial they are trying to plug here, or something completely unrelated. They are testing a tune for specifically for the 7.3L which is needed for their application.
Why not? So what if its tuned, they aren't even running it hard. How about running a tuned truck up the ike at full throttle with the max weight it can tow on the back of it and watch to see if the temps don't climb...lol Now that's a good video guys! Tuned on a performance only tune since they're alot more aggressive (I'm a 5 star customer, 2019 f150 5.0 supercrew 4x4 TUNED)
Considsring most 4 wheel trailers are light weight truck campers made for 1/2 ton and midsize trucks this F250 should have NO problem carrying this camper. Especially since I hope the suspension changes should have helped their payload a bit.
I hate the turning radius on the trucks, my 2017 work truck needs a run way to make a U turn and it’s really annoying when most of your work are in construction zones
Tommy, I bought a old 2006 LR3 with 84k on it but think I got a lemon cat. It’s rusty underneath. How was your truck? Is there a derust process that I can take?
Do an underbody inspection to see how much those skid plates actually cover. If they are Glass filled nylon plates, make sure they are thicker than 3/16 inch. You need fuel tank, transfer case, transmission, oil pan ,and radiator coverage.(if it hangs lower than the steel bumper) Do not attempt this with 20" wheels as you WILL curb rash them, and possibly even bust a bead. Biggest rims I would suggest are 18", in ideally stamped mild steel, or hunky chunky Alloy. Most 3/4 ton and up alloy rims are usually forged because of the weight they have to handle. Good tires are a good bet too. If you have the stock "All terrain" Tires, they probably aren't really anything more than a Good Year Wrangler AT or a Kumho AT. Both are pretty mild all terrains. The Falkens they are running in this video are about the most aggressive AT you can buy before going to a hybrid or Mud Terrain. Nitto makes a fine AT, it does wear faster, and so do Toyo and Dick Cepek. BFGs are always there if you happen to be over 45 years old as well 😁 . They are still great in the rocky bits with their hard compound, but tend to be mediocre, at best, in winter driving because of that hardness. In other words, when doing a contact sport, you always want to make sure you're wearing the right shoes, and a cup.
TFL..maybe I missed it. which tune did you run. I have 87 Race, light and heavy tow and same for 93 octane. I run 87 race 75% of the time unless Im pulling my boat or bob cat.
Scenery and area looks amazing. Fun video guys. Thanks.
You guys should do a video with matts off road recovery in utah
Lol. Yes
Yes
Yes hook up with him
For what? It's two completely different objectives.
Yes
For such a big/ heavy truck it seems to be doing well
When are you doing this trip across the country using only backroads??
that is what brought me here.

Outstanding job, boys.
I think it has to do with the already upgraded weight reduction with that ultra light premium all plastic interior.
Fantastic video!
I think my 2019 Ram 3500 Dually with my Arctic Fox 1150 could have made that climb. It’s a monster.
Most floatation size tires are .5 inches less than what the size is. (i.e. 37=36.5 brand new)
Joshua Scharfenberg - you are absolutely correct. I don’t know if most people know this or not. But judging by the comments, I’m guessing not. Lol
Keep up the great work guys! 💪🏼
4.30 optional gears would have been preferred
It has 4.30s. Only option with the 7.3 and the tremor package.
It’s not a tremor and they opted for 3.55 gears
Willie Moreno they bought a truck last minute out of dealer stock and either didn’t know better, there wasn’t one available locally or couldn’t be bothered.
I should have just left it as it’s not a tremor 🤣🤣 as the rest was a guess
Production and editing: what music score did you use at 14:20? Perfect scene music!
Awesome video thanks guys...
@17:10 When you showed Radical Hill, My Butt Clinched. Keep doing the Awesome Videos 👍🏾
Disclaimer: 5 Star Tuning infomercial
Not like a slim wallet or squarespace commercial they are trying to plug here, or something completely unrelated. They are testing a tune for specifically for the 7.3L which is needed for their application.
Why not? So what if its tuned, they aren't even running it hard. How about running a tuned truck up the ike at full throttle with the max weight it can tow on the back of it and watch to see if the temps don't climb...lol Now that's a good video guys! Tuned on a performance only tune since they're alot more aggressive (I'm a 5 star customer, 2019 f150 5.0 supercrew 4x4 TUNED)
Please stay tuned
Considsring most 4 wheel trailers are light weight truck campers made for 1/2 ton and midsize trucks this F250 should have NO problem carrying this camper. Especially since I hope the suspension changes should have helped their payload a bit.
I hate the turning radius on the trucks, my 2017 work truck needs a run way to make a U turn and it’s really annoying when most of your work are in construction zones
Tommy, I bought a old 2006 LR3 with 84k on it but think I got a lemon cat. It’s rusty underneath. How was your truck? Is there a derust process that I can take?
Wow, better y'all than me! I would've hit alt+f4 way early in that trip!
“How’s your butt muscles 💪 right now” ... 😂😂😂😂 ... 👌👌.
Does the tuning void the warrenty?
Yes
Does putting a 5star tune on void your warranty?
I have a Ram 2500 HD with the factory off road package. Would y'all recommend any changes if I were to take it up that trail
Do an underbody inspection to see how much those skid plates actually cover. If they are Glass filled nylon plates, make sure they are thicker than 3/16 inch. You need fuel tank, transfer case, transmission, oil pan ,and radiator coverage.(if it hangs lower than the steel bumper) Do not attempt this with 20" wheels as you WILL curb rash them, and possibly even bust a bead. Biggest rims I would suggest are 18", in ideally stamped mild steel, or hunky chunky Alloy. Most 3/4 ton and up alloy rims are usually forged because of the weight they have to handle. Good tires are a good bet too. If you have the stock "All terrain" Tires, they probably aren't really anything more than a Good Year Wrangler AT or a Kumho AT. Both are pretty mild all terrains. The Falkens they are running in this video are about the most aggressive AT you can buy before going to a hybrid or Mud Terrain. Nitto makes a fine AT, it does wear faster, and so do Toyo and Dick Cepek. BFGs are always there if you happen to be over 45 years old as well 😁 . They are still great in the rocky bits with their hard compound, but tend to be mediocre, at best, in winter driving because of that hardness. In other words, when doing a contact sport, you always want to make sure you're wearing the right shoes, and a cup.
love the blues in the background!
Four trucks! Nothing but the best!
DS TRUCKS yes, four trucks is better than two
theseb1979 😂🤣
What happened to the tremor you guys had?
TFL..maybe I missed it. which tune did you run. I have 87 Race, light and heavy tow and same for 93 octane. I run 87 race 75% of the time unless Im pulling my boat or bob cat.
This is a brand new 4X4 tune
Guys,..Using the tune. MPG test over a camping in the mountains weekend. Maybe an overland type camping weekend,.. just a thought
so how hard is it to drop off the camper to say, leave it home or at the camp
What's the name of this trail/park? Whats name of closest town?
