hey man just an honest critique. i dont even own a truck but i know that a f250 will not drive as well unloaded as loaded because the spring pack is so stiff in the back that it needs weight to feel more plyable when hitting small bumps. alot of bigger trucks are this way.

Your truck is a crew cab 6.8 ft bed 4x4 in what looks like XLT or lariat trim . It should be around 6560lbs curb weight, the way I figured this is by adding 100lbs to the curb weight of the same truck as yours equipped with the 6.2 gas v8 which is about 100lbs lighter than the 7.3 godzilla. Fun fact the 6.7 powerstroke is a full 700 pounds heavier than the 6.2 making it 600lbs more than the 7.3. I think the 7.3 dually 4x4 4.3 axle ratio regular cab 8.2 ft bed would be an incredible snow plow vehicle with some good dedicated winter rubber (nokian hakkapelittas) would be the ultimate setup.

When i was riding in the back of a six by six with some other fellas' the ride was very stiff and bumpy. After filling the back of the truck with two feet of sandbags filled with dirt, the big five ton truck rode like a cadillac because of the weight of the dirt bags pushing on the leaf springs, while travelling over bumpy terrain. So if anyone has a problem with a stiff riding car or truck, the simple solution is to put some sand bags in the load compartment. For a car , put a sand bag or two on the floorboards behind the front seats. You'll even have more controll in the snow too.

As for the ride of IFS vs a solid front axle, the reason Ford continues on with the solid front axle is because it is a truck. It is used for truck things, like hauling a heavy load. Put a heavy load in the bed of an IFS truck and you'll change the caster and camber of the front suspension. Not so with a truck with a solid front axle. The more you know, the more you know Ford.

The straight axle up front serves as the reason why Ram and Ford are the towing vehicles of choice. The IFS may be more comfortable, when you you're towing heavy, thus the truck weight shifting rearward, the IFS setup allows way more sway than would solid axles up front. Plus they generally boast better longevity over the years/miles. I'm pretty sure this Ford could probably use the FOX steering stabilizer upgrade to smooth the ride over the rough pavement. Welcome back to pushrod engines, Ford!

By doing this one thing, you will improve the ride of your vehicle. I drive a Ford Excursion. With me and some of my junk in it, it weighs 8000 pounds. My last set of Michelin LTX MS 2 tires lasted 110,000 miles - verified at my Ford dealer. Smooth and quiet ride, Load range E. I did go up one size, from 265/75/16 to 285/75/16.

I completely agree.......almost. I have had Michelin LTX.....both the M/S and AT2 tires on my Ford Super Duty trucks since 2002. I have Michelin XPS Rib tires on my horse trailer. However, I am now using one of my trucks considerably more off-road......in both mud and snow conditions, and Michelin does not make a tire I need. By far the most popular tire seems to be Toyo. However, for both mud off-road caused by snow melt...and snow packed paved roads, I like the Interco TrXus tire and the Goodyear DuraTrac tires. Goodyear makes a 285 / 75R - 18...which is 11.2 inches wide (narrow width is great for snow) and 35.1 inches tall. The tire has great mud lugs...cleans the mud out well and siping on the lugs for great traction on snow packed roads. The 18 inch diameter tire has more side wall than a 20 inch tire.....therefore, a softer ride both on and off road. If Michelin made a comparable tire, I would probably buy it.....but they don't.

Tim, I normally like your reviews but this one I feel you were somewhat off on a few items...particular the 5 dis-likes. You probably needed more coffee...and a heat wave LOL. The ride differences between the Solid axel and IFS...the Solid will ride stiffer...I agree. No question about it. I drove both GMC/FORD before I bought, adjusted the pressures to 60 lbs on all 4 corners and much was improved on the solid axle truck. If I am a betting man you probably had close to 80lbs and with colder temps made the situation worse. I have always been more of a GM guy..sold all my diesels and now went to a Gas truck. Probably be my last truck before retirement. I decided the Ford was a better fit over all and just felt like it was built better. More substantial. The Seats were more comfortable, ergonomics appeared better, power felt much better and I liked the 10 speed. Both dealers even let me tow my 13k load....the 7.3 was clearly more powerful and the torque was impressive, even down low. The Ford felt more like a heavy duty vs the GMC a heavy 1/2 ton. Fuel mileage is around 12.9- 13.4 job site to job site....and I am now getting 16.4-6 as an average at 74mph on cruise control. Height and getting in was about the same with both trucks having the same 20's. I live in the south which helps my review....LOL....it's warm Thank You....and flat here. Take Care.

Damn cold temps! I think we are mostly in agreement reading your comments. And sure, dropping the tire pressure will soften a ride at the expense of wear and some fuel economy. I test them as the manufacturer set them up so no changing tire pressure. FWIW, I bitch about GM’s 2500 being tall as well. I liked the 7.3L and the seats. No argument from me.

@@15Jeep I am waiting for Dan at Carli to release their gas/7.3 suspension lift which will be a coil over shock vs using the heavier diesel coils and set up. Supposedly 3rd quarter. I do have 20's and I agree on your comment on the 18's. I almost ordered a Tremor but decided on the Lariat Sport package do to I am mostly on the road and didn't need the more aggressive tires and a few of the stuff the Tremor came with...plus the 4k price tag. My last truck had 37 12.5 20, and on this truck I am taming it down some...LOL.. and going to stick with the stock wheels..order some 295 65 20's which is a 35.1-35.4 x 11.6-12.0 depending on manufacturer and the Carli lift. I already changed the front air dam and fender wells from Ford to the same as the Tremor ...This way it will look like the Tremor when I get done with better road manners and definitely better off road...just wont have the locking front diff and a few other things. Thanks for the help.

I've had a few trucks in my day, not a lot but a few. Ifs in a half ton is fine if you want the ride, I moved up to 3/4 ton for the payload, give me a solid axle! If I had a half ton I'd still want the solid axle, it's a TRUCK! After a gutless 5.4 for last 12 years I love my new Godzilla. Best gas motor I've driven since the old v-8 400 in the early 80s! I like the 10 speed, but I miss my clutch.

I know I'm late to this video... But for Christ sake people need to stop complaining about "rough riding" trucks. Of you want to tow, haul, or plow you NEED heavy suspension, even in the front. Front and rear work together to make the truck capable. If you plow, forget GM. Without aftermarket help you just can't use a GM if you need a heavy commerical plow. (I do commerical plowing, I've tried GM suspension and tires need more work than I'm willing to do). Besides it's not that bad. But don't buy one you expect to pillow to ride in.

3/4 Trucks are basically designed to have more spring and suspension to be able to be compressed to the right level when towing. Same issue for 1 tons on driving one around and complaining about the ride quality with no load. These are works trucks, not your grocery getter. I'd rather have more of a stiffer ride, without a load to ensure what is being towed is efficient.

As a taller person that has gained weight over the years I really appreciate the larger trucks and the higher up they are the easier they are to work on as they age. So I love the jacked F250 big trucks and getting into them. For a shorter person having to go thru the tailgate to get something all the time will be a big pain.

Thanks for posting. The MPG was about what I expected, although I was hoping it would be better for highway with no trailer or load. At 2:25, it shows with a full tank, the range was limited to just 322 miles. At 13 MPG, that says the gas tank is only 25 gallons. My 2017 F-250 LONG BED has a 48 gallon tank - makes a huge difference.

After 10 years of fleet repair, pickups are the small end of what I have to service, but the solid axles do a great job and they at least last. If I wanted my truck to drive like a car, I'd have bought a car. That being said... trucks have gone and basically turned into cars these days anyway. I'm glad I bought the last one before everything went powered.

I've got the 2021 F-350 6.2 4x4 long bed Lariat. As much as I love it, I may trade it in for a 2024F-250 in a few months. The main reason being, the dealer offered me $4,000 more than I paid for it to trade it in, even though it's got 25,000 miles. Apparently there's still a shortage of HD Ford Trucks. JMO, but the upside to the solid axle in my F350 is that I can amuse myself watching my wife's Boobs bounce around when she's in the truck with me. There's always a bright side . 🙂

@jgalt993 жыл бұрын
Right. The vehicle is designed to tow/haul well over a ton in the bed or tow up to 15k. In order to be stiff enough to do that the ride quality is going to suffer when it's empty. Load it up and it rides great because all that stiffness is doing its job. Take the tires down to 50 psi when it's empty and a lot of that harshness goes away. No one buying this truck should be running it empty a majority of the time, there are a ton of cheaper, smaller, more comfortable trucks for that purpose. This is a work truck or a toy hauler.
