Had my doubts after forklift loaded everything. Soon as I hit the gas all doubts were gone. Hard city towing too, couldnt go a block without hitting a stop sign or a light.
@@lakeview701243.73 gears? I was pretty conflicted about whether or not I should have gotten the 4,30s but after test driving a truck with each, I liked how the one with the 3.73s drove better, and read enough stuff to make me think that 4.30 was probably overkill for my towing applications (and I don't want massive tires, will probably gets 295/65r20s at some point, but never 37s).
I just picked mine up on 06/03 the XLT it had the XLT premium package also the FX4 off road package it was a customer order that was never picked up it also has the long bed, my 23 F 350 was a lemon at 1500 miles a charging system fault that could not be fixed, yes I went right back to ford thanks for sharing your video
Can you tell me your payload capacity, tongue weight limit and what it is able to tow (travel trailer, not 5th wheel) per the manufacturer? I’ve had a hard time locating the XLT with Premium Package stats. Thanks!
@@AndrewMcMullen-w5s with my truck, the 24 with the 7.3 godzilla gas engine 5th wheel looks like its 16,000 for 5th wheel 16,200 for the gooseneck conventional 16,200 thats with the 3.73 gears it looks like there is an axle upgrade package 3.73E which is electronic locking rear axle that should boost the tow another 1000 pounds or so i got all this info from the dealer they printed it for me hope this helps
Some of the GM comments on here are interesting. Compare the 7.3 with 4:30 gears to the 3:73 in the Silverado on a 20k seed tender or a fuel trailer parked in a corn field. Then you will understand why the f250 is a better truck.
Do a comparison on this truck and a Silverado 2500LT. The LT interior blows this one away. This one has the 48 vs 36 gas tank and LED lights which is nice. But $50 LED bulbs work great on the LT. You can also get a center console on the LT. And the LT is the same price if not less.
Ram offers the 50-gallon optional fuel tank on all long beds, 2500 or 3500. And the Ford 7.3L needs all the fuel it can get it, they aren’t fuel efficient in any way.
Yeah, but the issue with Ram is that dealers NEVER order a truck with that bigger tank, you have to order one yourself and not everyone is interested in doing that (or waiting around for it). Ford, if it's a long bed (which there are not a whole lot but there's some) it's got the bigger tank. I agree the 7.3 is a gas guzzler though, but it's actually still a bit better overall than the 6.4 Hemi while having quite a bit more power. The Chevy 6.6 is a nice compromise between power and fuel economy.
@@SliderFury1, ordering trucks is such a better option than buying off the lot. I’ll never understand why people refuse to order. Get the exact build you want and be happy with it. I do wish it was standard on long beds though.
Ehh, they are decently efficient with the 10 speed for what they are. 50 gallon tank is available on the long bed with a 7.3. 15-16 mpg is pretty damn impressive on a 1 ton with a big block. My z71 5.3 averages 13 with a leveling kit and 35’s.
Boy you must have had Biden’s advisors giving you your “facts” for this video because they are very wrong 😂. My 2022 LT 2500 has higher axle ratings, GVWR and payload ratings and it’s just a short bed. A 2024 has a higher GVWR even than my truck. So you are very incorrect in saying this 250 will beat a 3500 Chevy. It’s behind a 2500 Chevy. And also, Chevy does not require any special packages or “rear gearing 🙄” to get the max tow ratings. And I’m not going to comment on your click bait/pot stirring remarks other than to say I know they are there.
He's definitely off here because max payload is on 6.8L not 7.3L. GM is very competitive on 3/4 trims vs 7.3L payload numbers. I was looking at some charts online with both.
@@jeffwill4923 just about every gas 2500 GM will have over 3,300 pounds of payload and it’s not uncommon to get them over 3500. My 2022 LT is at 3527. A friend of mine has a new 2024 Custom that’s 3600 even. And just about every GM gas 2500 will have the maximum available tow rating from GM (16,000 bumper pull and 18,300 I think gooseneck) with no special options required. The only thing that will lower that is 17” wheels. I don’t even think the 10,000 GVWR derate lowers it now. This is probably JB just trying to stir up the GM guys.

@@jeffwill4923 the water jackets in the block between the cylinders is just asking for headgasket trouble. The small driveshaft that drives the oil pump is overly complicated too.

I don’t think he has had problems with the engine specifically but he has had some issues with the truck.
I'm at 12-13 around town and 16-18 on the highway (average around 14.5). Haven't towed heavy yet but probably similar numbers to Lakeview there. I have the 3.73. Gears. Definitely helps unloaded (or lightly loaded) cruising on the highway, but I will probably do a bit worse twoing heavy in hilly/mountainous areas.
I have a 23 F250 with the 7.3 and 3.73 gears. i get about 13 around town but can squeak it to about 16.5 on the freeway. I tow a 9k travel trailer and get about 8. I do wish I had the long bed but other than that I love this truck Oh and those mileages are with 35s
I pull a 14k full profile fifth wheel with my 2024 F350 7.3 4.30 gears and it pulls great.
Will be pulling an 11K 5th Wheel with same setup except 3.73s. I'm sure it will be awesome.

I agree. This is a nice truck. I'm really leaning towards a Godzilla.
Great Explanation !!
48 gallon tank ? Awesome 👏🏻
I would spec an F250-350 XL(work truck) with all the tow goodies and 4x4 off road package with high output 6.7L in black and im good.
My 2022 Chevy 2500 HD Crew Cab Long Bed LTZ with gas engine has 3475# of payload

You should do a review on the 6.8 Ford Towing versus the 6.6 GM.

Hi , do you also get a 48 gallon tank for the 2024 F-350 7.3 Long Bed standard cab truck?
yes all long box
I’m not sure about those 10 speeds transmissions, the more gears you have the more chances to break, I stick with the 68rfe in my cummins!!

@@joshuaatkinson5810, Fords come with a 48-gallon tank on long beds, not 50.
It's a gas truck. Why are you worrying about the fuel tank capacity . You will be able to work all day on a tank of gas .
Drive it for 3 years and see if it's really better...
Who put the snakes under hood.
This is a 45k truck. Prices are a joke

What kind of fuel mileage does the 7.3 get ?
My 22 with 4:30s gets 11-12 mpgs around town on the highway at 65 I can get 15-16. Loaded up 8-9 city 12-13 highway.
