I see all of the people bitching on here about price, for a truck, and seriously, if a majority of what you use your truck for is highway towing, maybe a camper, with some Motorcycles and quads, and occasionally throwing stuff in the back, helping somebody move, things like that, it's perfect, who the hells wants a nasty ass old beat up truck if they're going to drive cross country, towing shit, picking up the kids from school, driving your daily commute. Some people would like a quiet, semi-comfortable ride, working AC and heat, good brakes, shit like that, if you can afford this why and that's what your truck is for why buy an old pile of shit just because it's a "real truck", real truck meaning it smells like ass, the body looks like it rolled down a mountain, the brakes might stop you within a mile, good luck with having decent AC if the truck even came with it from the factory. But you know, everybody seems to think they know what's best for other people, as if everyone lives exactly like they do. This truck is perfect for a lot of buyers.
MAN!! FORD has outdone it with this truck! This is coming from a RAM owner. Ford has always been my 2nd choice but those price tags are way to high for me at the moment.
F-150 KING OF TRUCKS ouch, that's quite spendy for a damn truck. But, having said that, it's not the most shocking I've seen. I have at least one colleague who has spent more than that amount on options on his car you can barely notice! Long live conspicuous consumption.
I have this truck in same color and king ranch too. All i can say is this is a beautiful thing fellas. I know its expensive but it sure is nice. Mine tows up to 21,500 5th wheel towing. I tow my 19,000lb 5th wheel toyhauler and it does so very well. This is a towing beast. Like a cadillac but its a truck. Sound system is killer too. I hear hp is 440 and torque is 925 foot lbs. it feels like you are going 30mph when going 55. Feels like 55mph when going 75-80 mph. Got mine used with 60k miles on it.
Big Truck Big RV how about you try comparing the same trims like Denali vs king ranch? Denali has things like wireless phone charging, noise cancelation, magnetic ride control, THINGS that actually matter to MAN! Meanwhile Fords got all these useless backup camera's that only 16 year olds care about! if you can't backup a truck, you shouldn't own one.
DURAMAX_DELIGHT: I did a review of a maxed out GMC SLT 3500HD with wireless charging and every feature thats on a Denali. Oh, and Mag ride is not available on the HD Denali. also, Denali HD has no insulation improvements over the SLT. Also, Denali competed against Platinum trim and SLT competes against Lariat Ultimate, which is pretty much a King Ranch minus the special colored leather.
I think Ford has finally done a great all around job on the new 17's. I drove a friend of mine's 2011 f250 super duty with the diesel and (it was/is tuned heavily) but the fords have much better throttle response than the GM's do. Not sure why GM programs the slow throttle response on the duramax. Once I tuned my gm the throttle was way more responsive and acted completely different than the stock tune. (running the heavy tow tune and regular driving). I have a really good friend who is a former Ford engineer and he said they have been working on this 17' model since around 2008 ish. Evidently their was a lot of political hoops to go through to just let the engineers build a completely new diesel truck. I like the aluminum bodies simply because they won't rust as well and it makes perfect sense to reinvest the weight back into chassis upgrades to handle the load better. Great review as usual.
how was this truck able to get the Led lights with out having to get the panoramic sunroof? I've tried and tried to build the truck at Ford's website with the Led lights but i have to opt to a more expensive package (6K) which includes the sunroof. :(
My parents payed $100k for their house. 4 bedroom two bath with a two car garage. A normal small family home with 3 bedrooms and two baths is probably $60-$90k. My cousin lives in Cali and her house was way over 100k and I think it's only a 2 bedroom 2 bath small little house. So, yes, the don't cost as much as a general house, but they are pretty close.
I was in the same exact truck today, except it had the vista glass roof and a spray in bed liner. I like the standard moonroof that I have in my 2015 F250 Lariat Crew Cab Diesel better. The 2017 is an awesome truck. The 2017 Super Duty just won the Motor Trend truck of the year for the first time ever. We will see how the aluminum body will hold up long term. Hopefully no galvanic corrosion issues like on the Explorers and Mustangs.
God, such a super detailed review. Im sick of watching review videos thats like 30 minutes long but provide hardly any info. Subscribing just off that alone.
Its absolutely lovely looking truck. Looks like Ford hit a home run. The things that scare me are the huge headlights and tail lights, I bet those cost a fortune to replace. I looked at one these trucks at the dealership a while back and it was put together horribly, with body panels not aligning correctly, doors didn't align correctly, interior parts looked sloppy. But when I looked again last week it seemed they got much of those fixed.
I'm also waiting to see how the fastening points hold up will they fatigue and start tearing thru, I also saw somewhere where somebody took it thru a carwash and it ripped the antenna off tore the aluminum fender.
Aircraft are made out of aluminum...Pretty sure passenger aircraft move 500+ MPH and don't tear apart in the sky. Also aluminum doesn't rust, it only oxidizes so I can't see it being any worse in the snow/salt than a traditional truck. Chevy is even copying ford and spending nearly a billion$ to upgrade one of their facilities to manufacture aluminum parts. www.autoblog.com/2015/08/05/gm-%20-trucks-aluminum/
that link doesn't work for some reason and it won't let me edit but this is the same article. www.insidercarnews.com/its-official-chevy-will-begin-making-aluminum-silverados/
Got anything that aint over a year old? Not to mention, go look up how an aircraft is made, guess what, they have glass (iirc) in the aluminum... and it is just a coating over a structure, you can also shoot a bird at a airplane at 250mph and not rip though, let me try that on a ford bed eh? Ford did it to stay in class, the trucks were getting too heavy... aluminum corrodes what are you talking about it don't rust. When the vehicle is as thick as a soda can, ya, salt is going to turn it to powder.
Everyday I see trucks from all manufacturers and they are all priced through the roof. Yes , I purchased a loaded 2015 F250 but Im very happy with it . Could have it been cheaper ? Absolutely but it is what it is . It all comes down to supply and demand. They build these things with all these fancy high tech features because it's what the consumer asks for. Someone said I don't like slamming tailgates , I want a space view when parking my truck etc . The manufacturers listen
I know everyone has their own opinions but mine is "I like some of the features, but you can keep the truck", the last body styles I liked were what I've got (99 F150, and 05 F350) I've already added the '12 mirrors with fold/Ext and a '15 gate with step and '12 handle/camera. Like I said, some points I'd like, not too fond of the whole shebang though....
Unless they changes things in 2017, to unlock the sensor is on the back of the handle not the outside. The one on the outside is for locking. Do you need to start the truck to adjust the mirrors like you stated or just turn the key forward to the accessory position?
Great info,Thanks, will watch more of your videos . BTW if people have sticker shock @$75 G ,convert to Canadian =$98G plus 12% taxes ,plus Diesel is 4.62/ gal. We need a tax revolution up here!
Beautiful truck, I have always liked the King Ranch trucks. I am glad you mentioned payload at the end, was really hoping you would show the sticker on the door pillar for the payload of that specific truck. All those options on the 250 can't leave much for payload. It is almost a waste to have that 6.7L but not have the payload to actually hookup to the trailers that engine is capable of pulling.
You mention the 2017 F-250 Power Stroke is quieter than previous years. How does the engine noise compare to the Chevy & Dodge diesel motors? I'm looking for the quietest cab ride in a new 3/4 ton pick up. Thx
David Dwight: From my personal experience, both GM trucks (GMC and Chevy) as well as Ford have bar far the lowest cab noise. The Cummins is an outstanding power plant, but noisier in the cab. that being said, their all pretty dang quiet these days. Less noisy than a gas V8 from just 15yr ago.
These trucks are getting ridiculously expensive. I own a fully loaded '17 350 KR and MSRP was near 80k!! I couldn't believe it. Knowing how to negotiate from invoice, I was able to get a decent price but I wouldn't do it again. I should have kept my '16. I bought into the 2017 hype. I'm now a 112k invested with lift, King shock upgrade, wheels, tires, lights, cold air, etc. The truck carries my crew and gear just the same as the '16. It just has some nice, more refined features.
Heartagram agreed...i picked up a 15 dmax crew ltz z71 loaded for 51k with rebates and ded....at 76k its not worth it or needs to be severly discounted
Yeah, but it's a 2017 King Ranch F250. You can buy a brand new 2016 standard cab XL V8 F150 for ~$33K (list price) assuming you don't want to negotiate a better deal.
SOMEONE HELP ME! I have tried to find out my specific trucks conventional towing capacity but I can’t find anything. My dealer doesn’t know, the chart on the ford website is incomplete and doesn’t show my configuration. Here is my configuration: 2017 F250, SRW, crew cab, 160” wb, 20” wheels, 6.7 L diesel, and does NOT include the High Capacity Trailer tow package. I have heard everything from 12,900 to 21,000. Anything you can tell me is appreciated. Thank you.
Wonder how come they made the fold in mirrors where the truck has to be running? I really like how my 2016 will fold in without starting the motor. I do like the bed camera. That would defiantly come in handy hooking up a fifth wheel or even a gooseneck trailer for sure. I wonder if that bed camera could be fitted in my 2016 f-250?
Just some things to note : -Make sure you keep those running board hinges washed and lubed or they will seize, especially in the parts of North America that experience weather that promote corrosion issues. -Make sure you order/purchase your truck with those upfitter switches because the factory ones CAN'T be added after the fact. -You didn't actually show that the tailgate unlocks with intelligent access because you already had the truck unlocked from pulling on the door handle after you got out. -Great video!
Wasn't sure if they changed it for the Super Duty or not, so was more curious than anything. Also, thank you for the videos. They are enjoyable, from a fellow engineer and Texan to another.
you can still get a base model pick up truck, they have just come up with luxury versions as well for those who prefer the power and reliability of a truck with the luxury of a BMW. Im just wondering what took them so long to see there was a market for it.
My Dad is still rockin' my G-Pa's (RIP) single cab Chevy S10 pick-'em-up and it has had ZERO major problems; Only regular preventative maintenance. She is the best little truck.
Now, see... I am not a Ford guy. I'm not a fan of their styling overall. F-150 being a prime example. However. The F-250 is a bright spot for them. I like the interior. Their dash layout is pretty nice. The exterior styling is MUCH better with this model. That said.. I still have a Ram in my garage and no regrets. hoping the rest of their line will improve in the interior department.
@@ZR1Terror well most people that own an s class are pretty old. at their age they wont be speeding, the car's used more for its safety, comfort and elegant style/looks.
this new front end will grow on me eventually, but I personally think its ugly. I had that fat chrome strip across the front, and I am just generally not overly pleased with the styling. They definitely are more comfortable sitting then the GM offering, but for the time being, my preference is still the RAM offering. I am happy that they finally got push button start and there are a lot of nice other features, just not for me. Nice video.
TheWiseMan Moore, Oklahoma. About 12mi south of Oklahoma City. Live in a nice neighborhood with a nice pond behind the house. I've caught 15lb catfish out of it. 😁
I don't like how ford it is doing the back windows now with that opening if you slide something in there like a piece of pipe orwood I'd be afraid to break that window but with the old design no problem
sharkheadism some time i find my self carrying someting very long like pipe or pvc trim. that is 18 or 20 feet long and would stick out of the bed way to much and have no support. somethin that i slide through the back window and leave the back end rest on the tail gate
the problem is a lot of the new pickup trucks are losing the functionality that they once had because a lot of people are buying them that they're not using it for work purposes
Ford makes the best heavy duty truck out there no question. I own a 2016 f350 dually pulls a 24,000lb backhoe like nothing. I can imagine how this one with 925lb ft.torque pulls.
4:30 actually, the auxiliary switches already had a relay pack when they came out you only had 4 channels rated at 30A, 30A, 10A, and 15amp. the 2017 has 6 running 25a, 25a, 25a, 40a, 40a, 25amp
Justin Mccarter: Agreed. I should have clarified that the current 2016 model had them prerelayed as well. I did mention that in several older videos I've made though.
understood, cant be 100% right 100% of the time. i've just started watching your videos last week actually just started showing up on my dads feed at the same time. haven't seen all of them side note, the steel vs allu. bed video liked it, my dad saw it a day later and brought up the possibility that the paving stones in the chevy could have been tumble polished or corners rounded off by a 1/4 inch radius to reduce the scratching to add to your low contrast comment on the picture and lastly, i cant wait to buy that truck used in 5 years looks better than my first used 08 king ranch
I saw your Ram 2500 Laramie review and you didn't mention that the rear seat does the same as the Ford, but also offers an option where you can fold it out and it becomes a place for storing a large item or even sleeping on with a sleeping bag (as one of my cousins does with his on hunting trips)
It will be interesting to see how the new gen f-250's handle high payload/tongue weight with less leafs then the 16's, hopefully the improved dampening rates will help. I found that GM's 2500HD's would handle a 3k payload with minimal sag but last gen super duty would squat real low with any significant weight in the bed which would make the headlights point sky high going down the highway, and yes I appreciate that you could add air bags to any truck to keep it from squatting but in my opinion a truck should be able to carry its rated max payload without sitting on the bump stops.
Mr Swingline: Actually, the 2017 and the 2016 have the same number of leafs. The new truck isn't supposed to sag as much though. It has a greater rake in the back .

pkerskillz02: prices are tooooo damn high...
Big Truck Big RV this would easily be at least a $90,000.00 truck here in Canada.
79,000 for a 16 limited f-150 in canada
F-150 KING OF TRUCKS ouch, that's quite spendy for a damn truck. But, having said that, it's not the most shocking I've seen. I have at least one colleague who has spent more than that amount on options on his car you can barely notice! Long live conspicuous consumption.
Vincent Gambini in Canada expect a 10 to 15 thousand mark up on trucks ...especially fords ...lol

Adrenaline Bassin; thanks for your honest feedback. Rare but appreciated.
Big Truck Big RV how about you try comparing the same trims like Denali vs king ranch? Denali has things like wireless phone charging, noise cancelation, magnetic ride control, THINGS that actually matter to MAN! Meanwhile Fords got all these useless backup camera's that only 16 year olds care about! if you can't backup a truck, you shouldn't own one.

DURAMAX_DELIGHT GMC and Chevy are a joke 😂😂😂 stick to Ford who truly know how to make trucks
duramax came here and creamed his jeans when he saw this truck...lol
I see these already where I live. These 2017 superdutys look amazing and sound really nice!
Back when I lived in the US, the F250 was my favorite vehicle. I've just fallen in love all over again.
Still getting an LR Defender 110 though.
I think Ford has finally done a great all around job on the new 17's.

Kyle Riegle: Thanks brother
Great video, you showed all the things no other reviews showed, thank you!,
Interesting to see the rear axle under a 2017 is the exact same one they put under my truck back in 1988. Some tech really stands the test of time!
how was this truck able to get the Led lights with out having to get the panoramic sunroof? I've tried and tried to build the truck at Ford's website with the Led lights but i have to opt to a more expensive package (6K) which includes the sunroof. :(
Good job. Love the King Ranch!!!
WOW!!! I love this truck and I really liked your review.
hopefully by 2024 it would drop down enough price wise were i could afford it
lol seriously, its getting to the point where trucks cost damn near as much as a house hahaha
normaN bateS you don't need all bells and whistles, you can always buy the base model and build your own put your own if you know what I mean.
But like, with GMCs you can't even get a leather SLE anymore. It's bullshit.
They do not cost anywhere near a house where I live hillbillies
My parents payed $100k for their house. 4 bedroom two bath with a two car garage. A normal small family home with 3 bedrooms and two baths is probably $60-$90k. My cousin lives in Cali and her house was way over 100k and I think it's only a 2 bedroom 2 bath small little house. So, yes, the don't cost as much as a general house, but they are pretty close.
love his reviews
I've never been a fan of the sunroof, but I'm happy my 17 came with it standard.
You mentioned that the 2017 aux switches were pre relayed is it the same for the previous model 2016?
Hacienda Ford, nice! Had no idea you lived so close to my area, Rio Hondo, Tx! Been watching your videos for a while now; keep up the great work!
your a very good reviewer you point out good points on a truck better than a sales rep at a car dealership

Never been a Ford guy, always Ram but these are very nice. I would by over a Chevy any day.
Randy Thomason I'm thinking the same thing still waiting to see how the aluminum handles the snow and road salt here in Canada though
I'm also waiting to see how the fastening points hold up will they fatigue and start tearing thru, I also saw somewhere where somebody took it thru a carwash and it ripped the antenna off tore the aluminum fender.

I put one of these bad boys on my Christmas list. I hope Santa delivers!

That stuff that’s in there for the gooseneck is that factory made?
Great vid... just bought a 2017, 6.7 power stroke Platinum... 18k on odometer. DAMN am I a happy repeat Ford owner!
Great info,Thanks, will watch more of your videos . BTW if people have sticker shock @$75 G ,convert to Canadian =$98G plus 12% taxes ,plus Diesel is 4.62/ gal. We need a tax revolution up here!
which would you lease a f250 you tested or the Chevy 2500
Great truck but if are not writing this off in your business you're crazy spending $70K.

I am glad you mentioned payload at the end, was really hoping you would show the sticker on the door pillar for the payload of that specific truck.

I'll be, thanks for that key fob thing! My '15 F150 Platinum has that, I wondered how that thing worked!
Beautiful truck 😍 One day I'll be driving one of those
In the market for a 2017 diesel which one would you recommend and why? I'm looking at the 2500hd, f250 or ram 2500? Thanks for any feedback...
You mention the 2017 F-250 Power Stroke is quieter than previous years. How does the engine noise compare to the Chevy & Dodge diesel motors? I'm looking for the quietest cab ride in a new 3/4 ton pick up. Thx

Does Ford make an optional kit for a sub and amp with that stereo & nav? Just curious
Where do you get those king ranch all weather floor mats??
Glad to see they actually made some more room under the hood for a 6.7.
BisquikXLT: yeah, surprising. Less tubing
I guess that will give the next generation of "deleters" a little less headache. It's good to live in America where they don't test emissions.
Great thorough review
87national: thank you sir
Wow what a beautiful truck! I would love to get one just like that, but in all white, no two tone for me!
Can the average owner replace that air filter/ I ask since I see a gauge tube on the air box of that truck.
So with these new leaf springs are the super duties still gonna sag like crazy when any type of trailer is hitched up?
Alan Dominguez: supposedly not
These trucks are getting ridiculously expensive. I own a fully loaded '17 350 KR and MSRP was near 80k!! I couldn't believe it.

Heartagram agreed...i picked up a 15 dmax crew ltz z71 loaded for 51k with rebates and ded....at 76k its not worth it or needs to be severly discounted
Yeah, but it's a 2017 King Ranch F250. You can buy a brand new 2016 standard cab XL V8 F150 for ~$33K (list price) assuming you don't want to negotiate a better deal.
Only 33 large for a basic PU. That's sounds great. Not.
It's not even a manual who tf is gonna pay 76 thousand for an automatic?!

Great video, thanks. $75,000 - wow!
What does the king ranch edition add
What is the weight of this special truck (full tank, with all liquids, no payload, no passenger)?
What is the maximal weight?
Love these new Super dutys. But I like the old door handles better.
Did they relocate the turbo?
Just some things to note :
-Make sure you keep those running board hinges washed and lubed or they will seize, especially in the parts of North America that experience weather that promote corrosion issues.
-Make sure you order/purchase your truck with those upfitter switches because the factory ones CAN'T be added after the fact.
-You didn't actually show that the tailgate unlocks with intelligent access because you already had the truck unlocked from pulling on the door handle after you got out.
-Great video!
fordtechforyou: Thanks for the feedback! I edited out the part showing the tailgate access because I made a filming mistake while I was recording.
They moved the air intake... hmmm. why move it back when it was in the front for cold air intake?
Best truck on the market today, by far, IMO
Are you sure the truck has to be on to fold the mirrors? Because my 2015 F-150 allows for folding of the mirrors when in accessory mode too.
DirtyD: yes sir. I should've clarified. On but not started.
Wasn't sure if they changed it for the Super Duty or not, so was more curious than anything.
Also, thank you for the videos. They are enjoyable, from a fellow engineer and Texan to another.
I remember you saying you want led tail lights on your truck, did you ever find out if the led tail lights off a f150 will fit a f450?
BigDirtyBasterd: Yeah, they are a totally different design. I just decided to keep my factory lights.
what in the hell has happened to the pick up truck? Jesus christ. give me simplicity, reliability, and a slamming tail gate.
you can still get a base model pick up truck, they have just come up with luxury versions as well for those who prefer the power and reliability of a truck with the luxury of a BMW. Im just wondering what took them so long to see there was a market for it.
I guess you just woke up...lol
Get ready for Mercedes to dominate that market with the X-Class ;)
They still have that, it's called an XL.
My Dad is still rockin' my G-Pa's (RIP) single cab Chevy S10 pick-'em-up and it has had ZERO major problems; Only regular preventative maintenance. She is the best little truck.
Man that is a sweet ride!
Wonder Whats Next: Yeah, tempting too. Wanna buy my 2016 F450? :)
nice review ... for this particular truck
+LevonsWound: thank you
Great truck!!
Beautiful trucks
I've never heard you mention what engine it is equipped with
I AM , OLDER NOW HOPEFULLY WISER, 2, I AM A CHEVY MAN ALL THE WAY, BUT NOW , I RESPECT ALL AMERICAN MADE TRUCKS FROM THE BIG THREE.
beautiful truck
Do the people @ the dealership let you go around & film the trucks? Did you have to get their permission first?
Awesome review btw
Ford Rox
You could just walk up and film the outside, I doubt they'd care. He obviously had to go in and speak with someone to get the keys.
Ford Rox: I either call ahead and speak with the GM or simply walk in and ask.
+Supa Doopa okay I was just wondering thanks
How thick is this frame compared to the new Chevy truck
Those Ford trucks are picture perfect!
How long has ford used e coated frames ?
james dean: 2007
nice truck ..good review!
It looks like it should transform and fight Decepticons. :p
I remember everyone saying the grill was horrible looking.
But it doesn't look that bad at all.
Now, see... I am not a Ford guy. I'm not a fan of their styling overall. F-150 being a prime example. However. The F-250 is a bright spot for them. I like the interior. Their dash layout is pretty nice. The exterior styling is MUCH better with this model. That said.. I still have a Ram in my garage and no regrets. hoping the rest of their line will improve in the interior department.
I love the the new 17 250/350.
75G's and no spray in bedliner? 75 grand will buy you a nice Kenworth
heck 75 grand will buy you a 40,000 km used S 63 AMG
Then buy yourself a kenworth.
KP and what can you do with that truck? Go fast, that’s it?
@@ZR1Terror well most people that own an s class are pretty old. at their age they wont be speeding, the car's used more for its safety, comfort and elegant style/looks.
this new front end will grow on me eventually, but I personally think its ugly. I had that fat chrome strip across the front, and I am just generally not overly pleased with the styling. They definitely are more comfortable sitting then the GM offering, but for the time being, my preference is still the RAM offering. I am happy that they finally got push button start and there are a lot of nice other features, just not for me. Nice video.
It's only $50,000 less than my house!! Think my wife would approve?? :-)
ryan moeller $125,000?? Jesus where do you live where it's so cheap.??
TheWiseMan Moore, Oklahoma. About 12mi south of Oklahoma City. Live in a nice neighborhood with a nice pond behind the house. I've caught 15lb catfish out of it. 😁
ryan moeller Same here. I'm just south of ya. But I would have to live in this beast of a truck. Lol
Okie Rider Same here!! My wife is a mortgage loan officer for Weokie Credit Union.. So she's pretty dang smart with money. Haha.. Where you at?
ryan moeller I reside in Denver, CO. So, it's been a while since I've seen a $125,000 house.
beautiful truck!
bad ass truck for sure. Doesn't matter what anyone says. Ford knows how to build a truck.....
Did you like filming with the Lg g5? I love mine and how it can film in 4k
Robo Wolf: love filming with it. especially the wide angle camera. it combines the benefits of a gopro so I don't have to unpack and use them.
I don't like how ford it is doing the back windows now with that opening if you slide something in there like a piece of pipe orwood I'd be afraid to break that window but with the old design no problem
fuzzy wuzzy I am a true GM fan. And i love how the sliding window on the f150 looks from the outside.
Why wouldn't you just put the pipe or lumber in the bed....
sharkheadism some time i find my self carrying someting very long like pipe or pvc trim. that is 18 or 20 feet long and would stick out of the bed way to much and have no support. somethin that i slide through the back window and leave the back end rest on the tail gate
fuzzy wuzzy hahahahaah jfc
the problem is a lot of the new pickup trucks are losing the functionality that they once had because a lot of people are buying them that they're not using it for work purposes
Ford makes the best heavy duty truck out there no question. I own a 2016 f350 dually pulls a 24,000lb backhoe like nothing. I can imagine how this one with 925lb ft.torque pulls.
4:30 actually, the auxiliary switches already had a relay pack when they came out you only had 4 channels rated at 30A, 30A, 10A, and 15amp.
the 2017 has 6 running 25a, 25a, 25a, 40a, 40a, 25amp
Justin Mccarter: Agreed. I should have clarified that the current 2016 model had them prerelayed as well. I did mention that in several older videos I've made though.
understood, cant be 100% right 100% of the time. i've just started watching your videos last week actually just started showing up on my dads feed at the same time. haven't seen all of them
side note, the steel vs allu. bed video liked it, my dad saw it a day later and brought up the possibility that the paving stones in the chevy could have been tumble polished or corners rounded off by a 1/4 inch radius to reduce the scratching to add to your low contrast comment on the picture
and lastly, i cant wait to buy that truck used in 5 years looks better than my first used 08 king ranch
I also noticed the wheel wells in the bed are dramatically reduced over the 16s
Idk about anyone else but I wish the new diesels were louder instead of quieter. I love hearing the classic powerstroke sound.
Thats cool , the instructions under hood also includes arabic language! Very good
New Ford is truly amazing
great videos.
Cody Baker: Thank you
I know a lot of people hate Ford and I used to hate Ford I'm a ram guy but fords actually looking good now
nice truck great review.
david mahoney: Thank you
I saw your Ram 2500 Laramie review and you didn't mention that the rear seat does the same as the Ford, but also offers an option where you can fold it out and it becomes a place for storing a large item or even sleeping on with a sleeping bag (as one of my cousins does with his on hunting trips)
Ford knocked it out of the park with the new SD. But wow...$75k O_o
Was that a rubber flooring or a carpet? Interesting option for a king ranch but it makes sense for us folks that work out of a vehicle.
Corey Love: floor mats weren't installed yet. Apparently ppl like to steal them
www.trucktrend.com/news/1606-ford-adds-vinyl-flooring-option-to-2017-super-duty-platinum-king-ranch-trims/
looks like it to me.
That's a good idea, carpet always gets destroyed.
best pickup so far
It will be interesting to see how the new gen f-250's handle high payload/tongue weight with less leafs then the 16's, hopefully the improved dampening rates will help. I found that GM's 2500HD's would handle a 3k payload with minimal sag but last gen super duty would squat real low with any significant weight in the bed which would make the headlights point sky high going down the highway, and yes I appreciate that you could add air bags to any truck to keep it from squatting but in my opinion a truck should be able to carry its rated max payload without sitting on the bump stops.
Mr Swingline: Actually, the 2017 and the 2016 have the same number of leafs. The new truck isn't supposed to sag as much though. It has a greater rake in the back .
