I BOUGHT The Most EXPENSIVE Truck 6 Months Ago... Then I Neglected It

Жыл бұрын

I bought the cheapest 2018 Ford F-250 from CarMax 3 years ago and it's been an amazing truck. So it made sense when I went to buy a new truck it was another F-250. This time a brand new 2022 Ford F-250 Limited that was over $100,000. The goal wasn't to buy a Limited, but there were no Platinums for sale since almost every truck is pre-sold or sells within hours of the dealer listing them these days.

You don't see older trucks because you live and commute around white collar suburbia my guy. Out here in farm country, it's either old diesels or new gasoline trucks. Why? Because they get the shit beat out of them and nobody has time to deal with emissions shit. Especially now that a delete can't be done with just a sawzall. I personally own a fleet of 3 trucks with 7.3L powerstrokes and have a pallet of spare motors in the back of the shop. I will drive these old trucks until I die. Cheap, reliable, and easy to work on. Can't say that about the new flashy trucks.

ironically 6 months ago i bought a 2001 toyota tundra sr5 with 130k for 2500$. full service history, no leaks, 4 month old tires, interior is like new, was repainted back in june 2022. Only cheap cause someone hit my customer in the rear and smashed the tailgate in(still opens somewhat specially) and drove off, then after my customer got back on i95 and hit someone causing some front end damage. So i gave her an offer and bought it as is and its been pretty perfect! nothing needed so far but a drive belt that wouldnt stop squeaking

Just a heads up the CP4 will most likely not be covered under warranty if it blows up. They'll try and pull some water in the diesel bs to avoid warrantying it out. Happens to alot of people unless you have an amazing dealership. Best thing to do is swap to a aftermarket unit or get a kit that has filters between the pump and injectors so you don't destroy the injectors too when it blows. Less money to fix out of pocket. It could also never break so its a gamble pretty much.

I have learned during my oil changes, to take a punch and punch the filter before you remove it, this way it can drain without getting your hand wet at all. I hear you on the 13 quarts lol! I am still on the fence about the def thing. I have heard, mostly bad things, but I guess time will tell. I really like your truck, same color as mine.👍

After owning a 7.3 for 4yrs for the first time I did that trick. I knew abt it but just dealt w it. Service was much cleaner, & my hands weren’t completely covered in oil. Get a little EZ drain valve for ur oil pan, it’s got safety features, & I put a hose clamp on it as an added safety. No more messing with drain plugs, & no more risk of stripping out the pan.

Based on Ford's Towing guide, they only rate the F250 up to 22,000lbs. The F350 shows 27,000lbs and F450/F550 can hit 37,000lbs depending on the configuration. Not sure where you got 30,000lbs on a F250. Obviously many engines can tow more than the rated, but the vehicle itself isn't heavy enough to stay in control of something very large.
