- An update on my ingot silver two tone Lariat F350. I ordered this with the long bed and the exact specs I wanted. I've really enjoyed owning this truck and recommend the Ford superduty. Pleased with the power, comfort and capability. It's been reliable as well.
Gotta love these trucks. My cousin owns a 2011 F350 Lariat but in a short bed. Black on black with 190k miles. Hasn’t skipped a beat mechanically. He’s put a lot of money into replacing the suspension components that have worn out but solid rig otherwise. It tows a 15 ft enclosed cargo trailer regularly for his work and you never notice it’s there even fully loaded.
I have 2012 King Ranch , Diesel , and love it ,,first Diesel for me,,Family truck , not work truck , Safe , only little issues, easy fix ,LOVE it
I have a 2016 F350 Lariat and it is amazing. Just turned 50k miles about a month ago and have NEVER had a single issue
Congrats! Very happy with the 2018 model now. 29,000 miles on it. Trouble free!
I'm a GM guy, but I love these F-250, 350. I also love the Tundra's. I have a 2017 Tundra and I love them, but this one is sexy!
I am a Tundra and Tacoma fan as well. Just got a nice clean first gen. Check out my videos on my page.
Very informative! As I listened to this video, sitting in my Tundra, I am too making the switch to a 18-19 250 in the next few months to come. I do wish Toyota made a stronger truck. I am looking forward to pulling a toy hauler with my new truck with my fam. Never owned a domestic truck but am excited.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the domestic trucks. For me, I had great reliability with the first 2012 F350 model and now have 20,000 trouble free miles with 4000 towing miles...on my 2018 model.
Finally I hear someone say they use fluid film on their frame 👍👍 I put on on a few times a year and I use krown rust proofing inside cab corners,rockers, doors everything. 2014 zero rust in the rust belt
I am still a fan of fluid film. Price works. Product works. I hit high wash areas annually. Otherwise....inside of frame, doors, etc....all original application.
@@ModernCountryLiving good deal 👍 I do it because I tend to keep my vehicles until the wheels fall off 😂
This just goes to show if you take good care of a truck, there’s no such thing as a bad one
Thank you. I do take care of what I buy. Work too hard to let things decay. It was a great truck! My 2018 is a super truck!
Seats are so comfy!
Gorgeous truck man great color combination!!
Thanks for watching the video. Here's one of my new truck....8000 miles into owning her! th-cam.com/video/gQsW4NX0etw/w-d-xo.html
I bought the 250 version new in 2012. I can also recommend it. I would do it all over again, as it’s been a great truck. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching. I traded for a 2018 I ordered and with close to 50,000 miles on it....very happy with the 2018 model as well. I am interested in checking out the 2022 or 2023 model with 10 speed in a year or so.
Ford did a great job with this engine and platform. The prior power strokes had issues that tainted the reputation. But, the Ford 6.7 is a solid platform for sure.
Beautiful rig you have there. I just got a 2019 F350 in silver.
Thank you! You can checkout my 2019 here th-cam.com/video/lvIqJjD5M1Y/w-d-xo.html
I look often for info on the used F250 TRUCK. iT DON'T GET ANY BETTER THAN YOUR PRESENTATION.... thanks a whole lot bud ! .........damn cap lok key......
That color combo is my dream spec. Good stuff man.
Thanks. I am definitely partial to it. Hope you can checkout my other videos.
@@ModernCountryLiving Definitely will. I had to get rid of my 7.3 Excursion many years back and I'm finally going to be getting back into a diesel Ford here in the near future. Will be a nice upgrade after driving commuter cars for the last 8 years.
@@huehuehue-x3c That's great. I am very happy with my 2018 F350. Loved the 2012...really love the '18. Lots of power and very refined.
2012 is one of the better years. They fixed the problems the 2012 have and it’s was also before the my Ford touch which was not very good. I miss my 2012.
No issues with my 2013 f350 sunroof 97,000 miles. Michigan winters are a rough 6 months on trucks . No rust on mine either, lots of wax and washing keeps them new.
Yes....keeping them clean and waxed. I am amazed by the newer vehicles I see that have terrible appearance. Not being washed and waxed. I traded this truck in...but it beaded water like the day it was new!
Shawn Gross what did you get? Another 6.7? I just got my ‘19 f250 Lariat Crew cab 6.7 and never wanted a sunroof either!! I did get the Rapid Heat Supplemental Heater and had OCR turned on.
Yep...another 6.7. Very pleased with it. Over 10,000 miles as of 10/15/18. No problems. Best observed mileage is 20 mpg over a 230 mile run. Normal is in the 15.8 mpg range (back and forth to work - 8 mile commute). th-cam.com/video/lvIqJjD5M1Y/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/gQsW4NX0etw/w-d-xo.html
I’m possibly buying one. Replacing the fuel system is expensive. Was quoted 12K from dealer and 18K from private shop.
Thanks great advice.
I my truck was 2006 Duramax 3500 dually long bed, it did the road hop as well, my 2012 F250 4x4 short bed doesn't have the hop, I sure like a long bed though. Thanks for the vid.
Nice truck... Clean for a 6 year old truck. I've got a 17 the same color I bought new in 17. Hope I can keep it as clean as yours
Thanks. I really hate rust and was religious about: fluid film each year, keeping it clean, keeping it waxed. The first thing I do to all new vehicles is buy 4 cans of black tractor paint from Tractor Supply and crawl under them with a creeper and hit the welds, edges, etc. Then Fluid Film. It works great as a strategy...especially in NWPA where we get lots of salt on the roads.
I have a 2018 model now....and love it. th-cam.com/video/lvIqJjD5M1Y/w-d-xo.html

Dominator 3 is sick
Beautiful Truck
Thanks.
I see that yours is also a off-road do you have 20 inch rims what manufactured tires do you use, how often have you changed your tires...
Good lookin truck indeed Shawn.
thank you!
I know this is an old video but I have heard some stuff about the early 6.7s, more so with the 2011 and 2012s where they have engine issues (sometimes major). Did you address those issues before they became a problem with this truck? Great video by the way, both this and your new truck are so sweet.
Hi Tyler. Thanks for watching. So, the issues that I had heard of seemed isolated to the 2011 model year and job 1 of 2012. I was in the clear. I had no problems. I had the stock turbo on the truck when I traded it and no problems with it. Now, could you tune the truck, drive like a maniac...and probably puke the turbo? Yes. I have read about that. I ran H&S and was on stock or tow tune 95% of the time. I hope to post some more videos before Christmas of my duraflaps and winter tires on my 2018 model.
@@ModernCountryLiving thanks for the info! If I get one, I will just run a stock tune for everyday for the piece of mind. Plus they have tons of power stock anyway
Good to know they got the issues fixed fast too👍
4 more years down, how's this truck at ten? Given how you treat it I'll bet it still looks and runs great.
Ahhh...yeah. For someone it probably is. I ordered a 2018 in spring of 2018 and now drive that one. I have some reviews on my 2018. Just ordered a '22 but not sure it will ever come in. Thanks for watching!
would love to see what the underside of your truck looks like with you using the fluid film on it
I traded the truck in April 2018. It had almost 100,000 miles on it and 6 winters in NW PA. Lots of salt on the roads. It was pristine underneath. I should note, when I purchase a truck I buy a few cans of black tractor paint from tractor supply and go to town underneath. Then I fluid film annually. It's amazing to me how well Fluid Film works...
Beautiful Truck Still a Baby... Hey I'm Been Looooking at a 2012 F-350 As Well Owner Has 240k on Her In/Out Sides are Normal for an Old Lady... Anything Should I Been Concern about Engine or Anything else... Im Going to See about taking her for a First time Test today or tomorrow afternoon we keep missing each other.... Good luck with Yours... Stay Safe
Thanks for watching. I am in a 2022 model right now. With 240K, is she still emissions intact? If so, does the DPF need serviced at that mileage?
Good luck. If you checkout my channel I have a playlist with my trucks....2012 to 2018 to 2022....
Thanks for video! Awesome 👍🏾
Thanks for watching. I also have a review of my 2018 model. Check it out. Thanks for checking out my channel.
This is who you buy trucks from. Somebody that takes close care of them. 99,300 is there same as 99.3 miles when keeping up+underbody work kept up. Here is one of those Super Duties that will see 400,000 quite easily.
Thanks! Some maintenance and a little elbow grease goes a long way!!
The hop is normal in leaf springs trucks. My 05 Tacoma, 2012 f250 and 2016 f-150 all had the hop.
Yes...seems there is a certain expansion strip distance that really has it hopping!
@@ModernCountryLiving yes precisely lol. When people ride with they always think something is wrong with the truck and then I have to explain to them lol
How often do you do your engine oil and fuel filter what weight engine oil do you use as well as full synthetic or regular oil.. any problems with your turbo charged.... I heard that the first generation turbochargers had bearing problems.... I am looking at the same year as well as with the 6.7 L diesel from a private seller that has 230k....
I am in a 2022 model now. This 2012 model was a great vehicle. I ran Rotella T6 5w-40. I changed when oil minder said to change. I sent oil to analysis at Blackstone and it was good. I didn't have turbocharger problems. I never had issues with my 2018 model either and my 2022 model is fantastic. You can checkout the videos on my youtube page for all the trucks. Thanks for watching!
A real review!!
Nice truck , mine is a 2014 f350 lariat short bed , you are right , all brands make nice trucks, but there is something about this f350s that makes them awesome.
The tsb you are talking about , is not a wiring harness , it’s the vacuum harness that runs from the vacuum pump to the vacuum valve that applies vacuum to the egr cooler bypass actuator and in your case to the turbo wastegate actuator.
Thanks for watching. You are correct. I remembered harness....lol! 1/2 right?
how much were these back in 2012 in your area? I'm a toyota guy too, but my current truck is a 01 f350 dually. i do have a 89 4runner, 08 4runner, 02 celica, 06 sequoia and 11 camry se...
Depends on the features. This model was around $64,000 in 2012.
2013 SAME TRUCK 67000 ON FRONT BRAKES JUST REPLACED STILL ON ORIGINAL TIRES.
Nice!!!
Just wondering you never had any issues with the turbo. That’s what I worry about.
None. But, I don't run hot tune on max boost and highest exhaust temp setting either. You can cook the turbo if you abuse it.
apparently the 2011s and 2012s are particularly prone to turbo issues
Great video
Thanks!
U had any issue with the DPF ..
Buying a 6.7 this weekend
I sold this truck with 99,700 miles on it 2 years ago. You can checkout my other Ford videos here: th-cam.com/play/PLKY3HuZDoWwR0MMoybLWHkz5pr9SHSZux.html
Thinking about buying a 6.7 power stroke.. people are telling me going with the simple gas 6.2 engine due to emission problems with the diesels. From what I’ve been reading and hearing if I were to get it “deleted” I should be good to go.. is that correct? Thanks
Diesels are going to cost more than gas vehicles to own and maintain. Emissions in early diesels (7-10 years ago) had more issues as the technology was new. Today, the emissions systems are much improved. Sensors can still fail though. I have 18,000 on my 2018 Powerstroke and the emissions has been a non issue. Runs great. No diesel exhaust smell. I add DEF every 7000 miles.
Deleting is a gamble with both the law and the result in your vehicle.
Shawn Gross thank you.
MI Outdoor Family Traditions you really should delete your egr and stupid def system, Both just kill the engine.
Just got the same truck howhigh are the fix ups???
How many times did you open and close your driver door?
I am not sure what you're asking.
Did you end up selling this truck? Did you get a new one?
Yes...I ordered a 2018 model. Some more videos here: th-cam.com/play/PLKY3HuZDoWwR0MMoybLWHkz5pr9SHSZux.html and here th-cam.com/video/lvIqJjD5M1Y/w-d-xo.html
have you driven this truck on a long distance 6 hr or 10 hr trip without stopping? any major parts replaced or stalling issues while driving on a interstate drive? i'm thinking of getting the F250 Powerstroke diesel.
Multiple times per year I'd take a trip with 6-10 hours of driving in a day. No issues. No stalling. Lots of power. I traded for a new 2018 model...check out my other videos for my reviews of it. Thanks for watching.
Only hundred thousand miles and already had to replace the wiring harness?
There was a TSB released for it from Ford.
Where did you get the wheel well liners?
I think they were Husky liners.
What’s the color combo on the truck Ingot silver an?
I think it was sterling gray. My favorite combination. F350 #2 is the same. th-cam.com/video/lvIqJjD5M1Y/w-d-xo.html
What exhaust and muffler set up do you have cause that’s how I want my truck not to load
I don't understand your question. Is it how you want it to sound or not?
How much were the brakes, come on, some review.
Sorry, I can't recall at this point. I purchased from a local auto parts store.
I just bought a new 2019 dually , I love the power train but God damn the interior is crap all cheap plastic, none of the panels line up. I too have the lariat version. I think I should have just bought the cheap XL model :(
That's a bummer. Why did you buy the truck if you didn't like the interior? I have no complaints with the interior. For 2019, they enhanced some things vs the 2012 model. My guess is they'll do a refresh on interior in 2021 or 2022.
@@ModernCountryLiving because it pulls like a train and work comes first
@@tundras4ever552 I hear you there! My 2018 is great. I've heard the 2020's are amazing. Maybe when they update interior I'll take a look....

heres the thing,toyota,fit & finish excellant,drive train crap,.ford or most u.s trucks,fit & finish crap,drive train,excellant.i have a 2002 s/duty,body int rubbish,mechanically great.id rather a bad interior than a bad engine diff ect..here in aus,the new hilux,rear diff centre is held in ,just,,the studs are too short/small.weight saving.plus,never buy anything with IFS.there junk..
@@phantomwalker8251 I cant speak for the new Toyotas but I still drive my 2006 tundra and it has 345k miles on original drive train, leather seats still look like new. Carpets and stuff are shot , body is shot from taking it hunting in not ideal locations . But shes been a good truck
You’ve got your shit together lol
Short commute is the worst for diesels. They don't warm up in that short time.
The new one seems to warm up faster. But, despite all that...I had my oil analyzed every oil change and it always looked good. So, there's the common theory of short commutes and then the reality of what the oil is telling us.
Bro do you wear white new balance shoes? "Reliable as heck" 😂😂😂😂
I am not sure what your comment means?
You talk like the dadliest of dads homie. Not making fun just very dadly sounding 😂
@@nickbread1247 I hope that's a good thing...LOL! My kids are 12 and 9. So...I do "dad it up" for them. Thanks for watching.
Nickolas Beard that’s reality, when someone has kids something deep inside of them changes
A M I hate being a millennial
You sound just like Tom segura 😂😂
I had to look him up! Bwahahaaa! Thanks for watching!
@@ModernCountryLiving no problem I’ve been looking for a 2013-2014 powerstroke since that what my budget allows. Is there a big difference between those years? From 2011-2014?
@@5.0king32 I'd go for the newest one possible. There were some early issues with the 11's. I think Job 2 of the 12's they had made a change to the turbo. I think there are some additional differences with the 13/14s. But, really...all in all...the 6.7 has proven itself as a great platform for FORD. It's a reliable power plant. The emissions items can be a weak link...fuel systems can be a problem if you don't watch the fuel quality. My 2018 model have 40,000 miles. All stock. Great results.
@@ModernCountryLiving thank you sir!
Gap on right side fender emblem and hood gaps off ..way off
I don't what what you're looking at. Perhaps it's the lighting...
@@ModernCountryLiving look at the small piece of metal between the hood and rear door. It's the piece above the Emblem on the fender. The lines are off.
@@ModernCountryLiving the body line is clearly off from that piece to the hood.
Yeah, the alignment was fine. It looks off because of the reflection from the chrome and seeing under the hood areas. I have close up pictures of that area...there isn't a gap issue.
@@ModernCountryLiving either way I have a 2016 and love it. Nice truck!
My boss had this truck until I put DEF into his disesl
Yep...that will fix it. :)
Yeah I actually just did that yesterday 2 states away. On my way home now with the truck on a trailer. Luckily I didn't loose my job 🙃 my friend was trying to start it for a bit so DEF definitely went throughout it all.
It’s gonna hop bc you ain’t towing
Certain roads with certain expansions trip spacing...yes.
You said toyota, I’m out
Why is that?
