I'm in 5 minutes and I am already fed up with your schtick. For 3 years you trashed Ram and praised Ford. Now, all of a sudden you're praising Ram and trashing Ford. I am a Dodge/Ram fan for the record. What's up Alex? Are you doing this for clicks or what?

Alex “When’s the last time you saw a Chevy work truck?” Red and White Chevy flatbed work truck right behind him in the video 😂

Alex, quit holding it in and tell us what you really think!

Badass bro. I just got to your channel. GREAT CONTENT!!!

Hi Alex, Sorry to hear all the problems with your ford. I had a feeling that after the Dodge you weren't going to be happy over time, but it's one of those thing you have to experience your self. Thanks for the video.

Simple solution, buy a vehicle designed for 2 million miles of towing. Buy a semi... Have a great week Alex.

You’re videos always brighten up my whole day 😊😊😊😊

Thanks! Great video. Can you do a follow-updeccribign which new truck is the best and why - I assume RAM.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Wow - I wasn't expecting such good notes

Thanks for the review 👌

Best video ever Alex love what you do man I’m a RAM guy myself sucks Ford is having problems but I’m sure they well get it figured out hopefully it doesn’t take them a decade like it did with the 6.0/6.4 deal they had in there trucks 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nice and Well Deserved Rant Alex! Props to The Man.

My 20 f350 has been good to me too. Some of those reasons happen like the lights issue. But as for my trans I serviced it at 50k even tho Ford says 100k heavy duty use. I used fuel additives and oil additives from day one and no issues. I swapped all other fluids too at 50k. Cdl hotshot towing 10-19k lbs on my trailer daily . I am currently trading up to a 450 cause around 40k gross the f350 doesn’t like it. Plenty of power just doesn’t stop very well and doesn’t tow the best. The engin brake worked ok for me in the north east. Just don’t go hauling azz b4 a down grade . The engin brake held my speed pretty good on our little mtns. Been happy w my truck just need a bigger truck for my lanes.

That's interesting 1.... I am a Ford F Series fan... But I'm happy to listen to your points... It was really educative... And you know what you are talking about... Thanks...

WhAt are pros of the ram ? And what truck is the best in your opinion... keep up the good work

Awesome content. Thank you

Ive drove a 17 f550 and a 21 350 for work, and I’ll say the padding on the seats wear out on the left side really fast😂

I have been running 6.7 fords since they came out. In Canada with rough roads, shit diesel (with additive added), heavier loads than your non CDL loads. No trans problems, nobody flashing me with their high beams because I use air bags and know how to balance a load. No cp4 problems to speak of yet but I do worry about them. Buying a new gm or ram gets you a cp4 as well. Oil changed every 8000km (5000 miles) and fuel filters every second oil change. Zero issues with my fords. I had a 2020 ram 5500 as a rental last summer and my employees and myself all hated the seats, and even with the aisin Trans it still did the famous shifting up and down like crazy on hills and flaring between gears like the pos dodge trans always has. Best chance with a dodge is getting a 6 speed manual with a cp3 which is no longer an option so it's a no brainer we will stay ford until there is something better. Btw dude less blow before these uneducated speeches would make you seem alot less sketchy and more reliable to listen too for a review. Please do an honest comparison of cost between a three fords you have had compared to one of the two dodges you have owned.

We just bought our first truck. Went with Ram even though Ford is $5-7k less. Thanks for the great vids.

I don’t know if it was you or not but one of your truck just passed me in Ohio That’s the first time I’ve seen one of your trucks on the road. That’s pretty cool

This is some good information. I was contemplating going back to ford in 2020. Figured I would wait and see how things went with the new transmission. Think I'm going to keep my 2018 Ram 3500. Zero issues hauling my 40' 5th wheel around the country for work. Maybe in the next year or two Ford will get it right. Wonder how the new Duramax trucks with the 10 speed are holding up?!

Makes me glad my 2019 Super Duty Platinum has the tried and true 6spd transmission with no issues 👍

As far as I know, gm, ford and ram all use the vgt as an exhaust brake. Just major differences in the programming between manufacturers. None of the light duty diesels offer an oem engine brake.

You said the fuel in the US is bad. That is true. But, I have been telling you for a long time to stop buying fuel at the truck stops. Get it at the larger 7-11's or where ever. Truck stop diesel is 20 % bio and the small stations are 10 % bio. Big difference there and helps on MPG and pump price. If your truck is squatting that much in the rear that it is causing a problem with the head lights, either your springs are bad or your load is not balanced. You are tagged at 26,000 and I am tagged at 39,999 and I never have a problem with my headlights bothering anybody on with my F350.

I'm with you on the headlights. My work has a 550 as a tow truck, and everytime I'm loaded I get high beam flashed. Even sitting at our yard and other co workers say "why are your high beams on

With the exception of the CP4 (big problem i agree, down time is a killer!), Tell us the actual daily cost comparison (fuel economy) is compared to the Ram, what costs you more per mile?

Headlight problem? - Every truck with halogens in this country has this issue since they do not self level (like Europe) so install Air bags for christs sake and problem is solved. CP4 issue - Every other HD truck has to deal with it due to poor diesel in the US, so add a better filtering system. 10r Trans - have you read about the horror stories on the Ram trans? Your 10r still works though, right? Has it left you stranded like Ram owners? Plus you bought the cheapest version of the truck possible, and then you compare it to a limited Ram? C'mon bud, get a grip.

Lol Ford commercial after the video ended. That was great.

Saw one of your trucks in Milford ct yesterday sleeping at a pilot. Not sure if u or not but good to see you on the road. Drive safe my friend. How about a video of how ifta fees should be viewed.

Great video Alex! Something else needs to be said here considering the times we live in for some reason people that are loyal Ford truck buyers feel the need to lie about the repairs, I have friends who own these trucks and they recommended them to other friends knowing they were lying when they said I’ve had no problems and they thought they were extremely reliable trucks after having transmission issues and fuel pump issues and other issues with the truck, Multiple times I’m 52 years old I’ve seen Ford build 2 other garbage power stroke engines which were lucky to break 100,000 miles before DEAD engines back in 2012 through 14 we’re garbage as well you couldn’t use one part from that engine internals to rebuild it I don’t know why people that drive Ford have the need to be liars but never trust anyone who recommends Ford, I realize dodge trucks have flaws as well but they’re not even close to the same cost for those flaws and most of them won’t put you out of business for two weeks while it’s being repaired however I do know many people on 3500s or half tons three-quarter tons. And all of them have all these RAM trucks for years and years with no problems and very few problems and they aren't liars that Ford owners are, stay away from Frauds it will bite you with every single truck made! And that fall will cost you $10,000 at some point! or what I call PANIC Mode !

Alex, the trucker could be telling you it's ok to pull back in 😂😂

Hi Alex, I have a 2020 Ford F-350 SRW with 98k hotshot miles and have not had one issue with it. I add optilube with every diesel fill and use an Amsoil bypass filter along with Rotella T6 oil. As for the transmission I do regular flushes and use the tow haul mode all the time. I do agree that the engine break could be better and I do get high beam flashes a lot even with air bags.

CP4 High pressure fuel pump is used in many other trucks other than Ford so that's a universal issue for diesels. My 2015 f250 made it to 375,000 before failing. Replaced and now on 620,000 with no problem. 2020 lights I agree with but seems like a issue that airbags would correct.

Good afternoon Alex. I like to watch your videos. Could you tell me if the F350 dually models 2021 and 2022 have the same problems as 2020 or have they been fixed? Tks.

Good video alex ! Well said 😂💪🏻👍🏻

Love this.

Hey Alex, I do not own a Ford and never will. But, on a good note we bought another ram and added to our small fleet. I've learned alot just from watching your videos. I have a question, would you please show me the correct way to strap a vehicle down?

I'm sticking with my 1999 F350's with the 7.3. But, think about this Alex...what percentage of your truck's mileage is without the trailer? Doesn't it make sense to adjust the truck level, seat position, mirrors and LIGHTS for the normal use of the truck? And doesn't your gooseneck setup allow you to adjust your pin forward a little? Anyway, thanks for the review. Keep on trucking and stay safe!

Nice Vid.. 2022 F250 Platinum still on the way 💪🏽

I love your videos! But I’ve gotta say your main problem is it’s a lease so you can’t do the simple things to fix some of these issues. For the headlights I spent $150 and replaced them with LED’s PROPERLY MADE LED’s. And now I never get flashed. Also these trucks need airbags with the kind of weight we haul. I have bags in mine and can adjust them on the fly, my headlights always shine onto the road. I also think your using the exhaust break wrong or not using it at all because it DOES have one. You could also be creating the hills to fast and that sets you up for excessive speed down the hills. I cross the Rockies regularly on all of the major interstates and never have a problem holding speed. As I crest a hill I engage AUTO Exhaust Brake and my speed never climbs above 1 or 2 MPH from that point on.

Some Canadians, so far I haven’t heard from elsewhere but with the 10 speeds, the engine is constantly in the torque curve and is blowing out axle tubes which takes out everything in the rear end, tank, shaft, leafs, beds, brake lines, spare tires etc

I got a 2019 Ford with 255,000 miles I guess I've been blessed with no issues but I have heard some negative on the 2020s hopefully they'll have it all figured out when I get a new one 2022

Transmission problem was the crankshaft filter. Have to replace them around 70k miles

My 2020 ram 6.7L also has the cp4. Failed at 11000 miles. Spent 5 weeks in the shop. Warranty covered the 15k repair, but not my revenue for 5 weeks! The 2021 ram has supposedly gone to a different pump. I now use fuel supplement to lube the pump. Aside from that the ram is superior in every way. Btw I am CDL hotshot at 43k gross. Aisin w the exhaust break works great. Never touch the brakes. As always, great info! Keep the videos coming Alex!

I can't speak to Ford's CP4 fuel pump directly since I own an Chevy Duramax. But mine is the LML Duramax with the CP4 pump and they are known for going out and taking the whole fuel injection system with it. The fix is to run a lift pump. Apparently, CP4 pumps are sensitive to air in the fuel over time causing them to wear out. And the lift pump resolves that issue by maintaining a steady flow of fuel. My 2011 has 229,000 miles, and a lift pump, and is still going strong.

You have to drive that transmission like a manual when slowing down. Got to keep the rpm up for the brake to work.

The headlights thing. Proof they design these trucks for grocery runs.

I had a tune that used my VG turbo as an exhaust brake programmed into a tow tune in my 07 F350 with the infamous 6.0 Powerstroke. It did a good job at holding the truck back even when I grossed 34k lbs ( I know I shouldn't have hauled that much weight but I did) . You can airbag the drive axle. If you own it, you can adjust it ( I am not saying that you should have to. I agree that Ford should do better). I don't know what's causing the transmissions to break so I won't comment on that.

But you said while back it’s so awesome. Couldn’t give me one unless I could sell it 😂

We need to look at what the manufacturer’s are really building these trucks for. Is it Hotshot or the local contractors towing their equipment around their community. But also Including the ranchers and camper folks. Big difference in pounding out 800 miles a day after day. Verses a week. Nobody builds a perfect vehicle that’s why they all have service bays.

The quality of fuel is poor because of the epa forcing it to be low sulphur.

The seats in the 2017 are super comfy!!!

I had a 1990 7.3L 4 wheel drive..a great truck but when they wouldn’t honor a paint recall for the hood because the dealer didn’t tell me it was a dealer only recall notice, that was the last Ford I bought..just not happy about needing to pay $500 to have the hood repainted because they had used a primer that failed.

There's nothing wrong with doing hotshot with a 2020 Ford f350 4x4 diesel super duty

One of your previous videos is how I learned about the Ford headlights. I thought the same thing here comes an idiot with his high beams and I would flash him all the time.

Alright I am going to take my 2020 F450 to carmax now.

My friend something isn't right with you in this video, because on this one (Maintenance & 75K mile review - 2020 FORD F350) you even said that the Ford with the 10 speed was much better than any RAM. You specifically specify with the 10 speed. I like your videos but try not to say one thing today and another one tomorrow. Is not good for your credibility. Much respect for you and please do not get upset is not my intention. Take care, God bless.

Glad I went with a GMC Denali HD. The Tremor was tempting. Thank you for your content!

My 10speed has been a nightmare. One September came they fixed the problems.

Hey Alex, I have a 2012 F350 work truck and my transmission does the exact same thing your describing going from 1 to 2 gear. Mine does need a new transmission, still drives but on the way out

Go ahead Alex that's right bro you tell'em 🤣😂👍

Hi. I watched one of ur older videos and I’m wondering how I can get that “what you need to start” spreadsheet?

I agree 💯 percent regarding the lights. I feel like an idiot on the highway with mine

Aren't chevys and rams using the cp4 too?

I just saw one of your trucks passed by me heading to Conroe Texas

I’ve noticed the headlight thing, I’ve only had my truck for two months probably 1800 miles, people flash at me , it’s annoying

Interesting. What year did Ford incorporate the CP4 fuel pump?

The transmission issue you are describing is now under total recall for repair...if people have already repaired at their cost...Ford is reimbursing costs...from the info I have seen

Ram got smart and ditched the CP4 for 2021 and went back to the CP3 with larger lines and injectors, which helped with fuel delivery and power increases. 2020-current Fords are not going to age well on the secondhand market due to the 10spd trans issues and CP4. Around 50-60k miles, major problems start to pop up. #cumminslife

It would be cool if trucks had self leveling headlights that adjust according to rear suspension squat after attaching a trailer

I love the all 4 on high beams! I even upgraded them to led...the solution is a set of sway stops so the rear overloads engage sooner reducing the squat.

Agree to almost all the issues. Drove a 2020 f350 all last year hauling boats. However I LOVED the seats! They’re definitely tubby boy friendly 🤣 the engine brake was the WORST though.... that being said the turbo sounds magnificent after break in ❤️

Can You Make A Video Focusing On Enterprise Rentals Like Talking Number Etc? If There Is One Can I Be Directed To It

So will you be switching back to rams

Agree with u on everything but didn’t understand the hazard flashing light point, They are there to use them when u need to communicate to other drivers of potencial dangerous situations on t road.. or there is a book regarding how u supposed to use them?

The cp4 has been used sense the 6.7 came out. if your really worried about it get a disaster prevention kit.

I don't consider the seats to be minor... being comfortable is VERY important, especially for you who spends most of your life in them. I've been trying to find a nice set of 4th gen RAM seats (cloth) for my 2005, since they're a direct bolt-in. I thought Ford had a real exhaust brake... very surprised they don't. I love the PacBrake in my 2005... that plus it being a manual trans (G56) and it works VERY VERY well.

This was a legit review

Alex I'm a hot shot trucker to I'm in a group with 6 other guy's I'm cdl driver and a big rig driver before hotshot for over 30 years

3rd generation Ram guy here. My 5.9 Cummins is awesome. No def or def fluid to boot. Extremely reliable and parts are reasonable $$, if you ever need them.

Truckers flash you so you can move over. And mind you you’re driving an XLT upgrade to a higher trim truck and you’ll get better seats etc. led lights

Thanks Bro

I only drove a 2016 Ford tow truck but yea there's no good engine braking. The 2018 Ram I'm driving is so good especially with tow mode on. I know the seats are better in the ram and I do get annoyed with the dual beam when I see other Ford hotshots coming or going.

My ram exhaust brake works great but cp4.2 failure it’s on a wait for 8 months of back orders for a new fuel system The Chevy l5p exhaust brake is mild but works well as a non cdl and the fuel system has had 0 issues 540,000 miles and still my go to truck

Hi Alex What you think about cdl b for hotshot trucking? Is it enough?

So alot of brands have had the cp4 pump and every 6.7 powerstroke currently has them my 12 358k zero problem with pump i currently drive my 2021 f450 the breaks on that work perfectly fine my terex 1056c weighs 32k by itself and have absolutely no problem stopping it or moving forward

You need to get ya some CHEESE 🧀 to go with that whine 😂

I saw you on I30 Saturday in Texas

The headlight issue is absolutely INSANE! To the point that I've gotten used to knowing this light pattern so well that I'm like "oh here comes another Super Duty". They have an absolutely crazy amount of glare, and blind everybody on the road. Several channels and journalists have pointed it out. Being in front of one you better pray you have self dimming mirrors in your vehicle....

Do the Ford or ram have a motor in the light like the tundra. So when the back goes down and front goes up you turn the dial and the lights will go more up or down

I could've told you all of that. Our 2014 ram has been on the road 3 yrs 1 month now. 523,000 and still crossing the country, loaded heavy every week.

Damn tow piglet ! Preach it man ! Hahaha

Alex, this may just be the best video you have ever made #actualknowledgeinthisone

Do you know what a torque converter locking up feels like?

Hello sir. Does Ford make a 2022 with a 6.2 gas engine and a six speed auto trans? Thanks.

I’m not a Ford guy but Just for your information the new 2020 Cummins also now has the cp4. Duramax stopped using them in 2017 the Ford actually starting using them in 2011 already

110% agree with you about the headlights!!!! What really pisses me off about the lights is they are so focused straight out in front of the truck you can't see a damn thing off to the sides! Makes it impossible to see Bambi off to the shoulders of any road!

The hazards in the rain is actually being taught to new drivers in drivers ed, theoretically it helps increase visibility so you don’t get rear ended

100% on the god damn headlights. Drove across the country with an empty equipment trailer and got flashed by half the trucks in the country. Very embarrassing
