Lol....i.agree myself....learned my first split shift at 13...miss manuals in the big boys i now drive...all of my boys had to learn in a manual..I love manuals so no debate here

My 20 yo DMAX rides like a caddy 👍

Its true the Ford SD is stiff as hell. There is a price to be paid for having a real true straight axle up front. Thats what we do at Ford. Build absurdly strong components just so we can tell you they are for sure stronger than what everyone else has. Just to need a chiropractor

Well, one is made for work and towing, the other for Urban Cowboys!🤣👍

Heavy duty trucks are made to haul. Put 1500 lbs or more on the ford it smoothes out. If your driving a empty hd truck around town you bought the wrong truck.

I have a Ford and I like having the gear indicator and switching to a vehicle that does not have the gear indicator would be very noticeable to me. I would miss it, not a huge deal though. I agree with the driver its a 3 out of 10.

No, I use the gear indicator and it's necessary.

@@louishendricks-tv1sx it’s nice to know what gear you’re in but I just can’t see how it’s necessary. It’s still an automatic transmission that’s only going to shift down or up based off engine speed and mph. So you can be going 80 mph and try and downshift to 1st with the manual selector and the truck won’t allow that happen. It will only go down in gears as far as it can based on your speed and rpm.

@@louishendricks-tv1sx For what?

That's good to know, especially if that disables the most. Thanks for posting and watching.

True, i keep both the ford and the new chevy at 70 psi all the way around. Dealers uses to keep the tires lower back in the 90s...then before delivery air them up to the manufacter suggested. To help with ride.

@@automotiveinquiries9673 Good to know you matched the air pressure truck for truck, gives the fair picture of the truck tests. Mind you if one was driving these trucks almost empty most of the time long term then I know personally I would lower them down ... and of course on would come the tire minder unless they were reprogrammed and hopefully they can be.

​@@automotiveinquiries9673 snow plowing with these trucks. Cold 42 warm just under 50. Put 70 in and you are stuck.

in everyday driving, it isn't that noticeable with the new 10 spd allison, the 6.6 with the 6spd, I feel the 7.3 is more zippier

Don't know if it is, but Gm is free to put those in their trucks too

I have 4.30 in my 22 F350 Godzilla

@@brucesowards5734And?

I almost got blown off the edge of the feeder road on I-10 in W Houston in my F350 Godzilla. Some jackleg cut me off to cut in to make the I-10 ramp. He was initially behind me then passed me right side then realized how close the entrance ramp was and he cut in. Bad bad bad driving. My maneuver was to the left and I hit a rounded curb left front tire and bounced off and back into my lane. If I had not done that the jackleg would have certainly taken my right front quarter panel nose with him. I was 3/4 mile to my hotel. I got out and inspected the truck underbody. Nothing broken. No damage. Nothing bent. Slept that night and hoped upon waking that my tire would be ok and not off the bead. All was well. I got up on the highway and slowly rolled up in speed to test steering and drift. Zero issues. I came away from that hard “smack” on that curb at 60mph loving the Ford F350 front end. It is very stiff. I like to tell people you don’t drink much coffee in my truck on side roads. Nor do you text. The truck takes your attention because it is a real truck and you actually have to drive it.

Yeah, it's a heavy duty truck and it's got a heavy duty axle. So much stronger and durable than an IFS

that's thinking with your heart and not your head or your ass. The Chevrolet is SUPERIOR to that Fix or repair daily!

@@Marco-fi6gv Durable for what, a crappy ride? The IFS in the GM Trucks are plenty strong to handle what ever you throw at them. Your LOSS

I'll be using sea light, I'll have a video and link on it tomorrow a.m. they are inexpensive, and I've had great luck. There is one other brand I've used and they've also been great, BRISHINE...on the zon...

and that's why you drive a inferior truck

@@bobhirdes6725 and he is alive..

@Tom-ds5uk the pro truck driver would pick the ford all day, he's ford through and through. I personally like the chevy a little better overall, even over the 2024 I have on the channel.

City boy truck

Some of us haul and tow on a farm for a living and gm trucks don’t like work. F150 rides good so you’re full of 💩

​@@jeffparker8268 👍

I was test driving a few of these and I thought they had the 2022 super duty tune pretty well. Maybe I'm not as sensitive to it as some. These are heavy duty and they have heavy duty axles. No comparison between solid axle and IFS. Solid axle is stronger, more durable and articulates way better in an off-road vehicle. Another advantage is that it will be much easier and cheaper to lift a solid axle once you reach a certain height because of the angles. This isn't a midsize or even a half ton truck, it's a heavy duty truck and that's why it is built that way. I'll go with strength, durability and capability over slight increase in comfort.

@@jeffparker8268 and tough enough to handle anything your throw at it.

Lmao I'm a truck driver too and see more junk fords broke down on the side of the road then any truck out there ford do ok the first 10 miles then they are junk lol

I've never understood hardcore brand loyalists. Why not be objective, forcing all brands to be better? Nah, it's much better to pick based on a badge.. Make sure you get one of the really classy "guy pissing on the brand you don't like" stickers for the back window to let everyone know what a dedicated fan you are.. 😂

All that displacement is good but 80% of a liter larger and the Godzilla produces marginally more power. It is what it is. The final drive gearing has more to do with it feeling quicker than the actual power advantage. Both are pretty cool. But I am a GM fan and it sounds like you are a Ford fan… so we know which one we will defend to the end lol

@@williamabaker12exactly…it’s a weird thing to me. These grown a$$ men acting like these manufacturers are going to give them a free truck for hyping them up. I’m going to drive them all and buy what I like the best. Getting in a pissing match defending some company who doesn’t know you exist is a weird way to go about life.

@@SoonerMikeD 💯

I call bs. Even if so it ain’t got nothing on gm lifter failure. And that Allison is just a badge 😂 research a little 👍

@@freedomisntfree_44so? How many issues do you hear about out of the Allison 10 vs the ford 10? No comparison. Allison has proved to be the better trans.

@@07smoker whatever you say 🤡👍 just a badge

@@07smoker Allison just sucks really. Seen them weld the insides together and once you do a little research you’ll it’s built by gm with and Allison badge. It’s not build in Indianapolis by Allison. Just another gm grenade.

@@tylerking27 take your own advice. The ten speed in the 3/4 and 1 tons is not a joint venture, different parts on the inside, gear ratios aren’t even the same. Only the half tons are the joint venture. Whether it’s called Allison or not, it’s proven to have less problems than the ford. I don’t care what video shows the ford internals to be better, they are not performing that way.
