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.

Amerikanski sure. That’s the way a lot of trucks used to be. I was really aiming just to inform consumers of the ride difference between trucks. Not trying to say the F250 rode horrible. Funny to me how people are focused on the latter.

I know this video is old. I have driven 250's before, didnt think much if it other than it being big, years ago. I traded my 2020 loaded XLT 150 in for a hard to find 2022 F-250 ( at this time in 22 they are hard to find) . It was basically like my F150 and bought it on the spot. OMG was I in for a surprise, this thing drove like a john deer tractor lawn mower. Almost need 2 hands to turn it. Super rough. Thankfully its not my daily driver but for mainly pulling a camper and 5th wheel in the future.

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.

Averaged 12.8 mpg hwy for the first 500 miles, mpg increased once I passed 1000 miles. Upgrade tires at 1600 miles to Toyo AT2 Extreme (285/75/18) and averaged 15.5 mpg at 75 mph, all highway, from San Antonio TX to Oklahoma City OK. I now have 5100 miles and average 14.8 mix city/hwy driving. Just pulled a skid steer (10.6K lbs.) with our 14K 22ft PJ trailer (3300 lbs.) averaged 10.1 mpg at 70 mph. The truck does the job well.

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!

There are significant reasons why Ram and Ford have chosen to stick with solid axles up front, chief amongst them are the trucks strength, durability, and long-term sustainability, particularly for a vehicle that is always put to work, like an HD should. I'm not opposed to an IFS, particularly on a 3/4 ton application, but for serious hauling, you will need the stability and reliability of a solid axle.

It gets decent mpg for a truck it size, but the ride I hear is just not nearly as nice as a say 2020 colorado which I have test drived and I'm gonna get the 2021 z71 colorado, it's small enough to fit in my garage while being low enough in price to b possible to afford after saving, I have 2 kids and a fair amount of credit debt so I cant get a vehicle right now but working on solutions to make this happen by winter I hope.

Know this = 50% of any vehicle's ride is in its tires. Yes, the tires. Take off whatever came from the factory and replace them with the best Michelin tire for your application. 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. You will not find a better riding tire than a Michelin. Period.

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. I just don’t understand why you need a damn ladder to add oil!

Jeff - does your Ford have 20 inch rims? If so, you might consider an 18 inch rim.....more tire sidewall equals a little bit softer ride and better off-road performance. If you have the 4.30 gears in the differentials, you might want to check out a Carli 2 1/2 inch leveling suspension system .....the 2.5 Pintop with King shocks and Goodyear DuraTrac 285 / 75R - 18 tires.....which are 11.2 inches wide and 35.1 inches tall......same tire on the new 2020 Ford Super Duty Tremor. The leveling suspension system just raises the front...not the rear. Hellwig offers an air bag if you decide you want the optional Carli rear leaf spring packs which are made by Deaver Spring.

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.

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 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.

My 2017 F-250 LONG BED has a 48 gallon tank - makes a huge difference.

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 . 🙂

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.
