Very enjoyable video and great to hear from a real owner on why he purchased one truck over another. I would love to see an owner with a new 3.0L Powerstroke in the future too if possible! :)

Ron doesn't want his wife to know how much he paid.

I learned if you don’t talk about the price,you payed too much.

Old guy: Did I mention I am frugal?? Andrei: Yes, during the entire video...

*"Substantially below sticker price" is probably $3000!*

You should bring this back in 5 years, and ask him to talk about it again.

Surprised he didn’t get an XL single cab with vinyl seats, floor, crank windows and unpainted bumpers with how frugal he is lol

By the way if my wife asks, A new Raptor is 40k

Well concerning the purchase price, I got: - The Ford Employee Discount - Costco Member Discount - Stackable Ford Year End Discount - Veterans Discount - Seniors Discount - Order Of Grand Poohbah Discount - Teamster Discount - And Third Party reference Discount How much you pay? Oh, about 60 grand.

Andrei, you’re great at these interviews and incredibly knowledgeable- nice work.

I have a suspicion this owner might be frugal just in case you didn't hear him say that he's a Frugal person because I think he is frugal.

So true! I made a trip to Canada this year and my mileage improved drastically on the diesel up there, from 18 mpg to 22 mpg!

Thanks Ron for the information. I like hearing from the owner what you think.

Great truck! I love this guy. Looks up the prices of add ons and does it himself. Awesome.

Bright man. I'm glad to see someone who actually put some thought into his purchase and didn't just flip from a 3 year old model and go under in value on debt. Sounds like he drove that older 99 f250 into the dirt, got every penny out of it, probably maintained it himself and then even when buying new again only paid what he had to for the specific needs he had. Great work! I bought my 2015 f150 brand new as an XLT model and now have it full paid off, but i'm not going to flip it. I'm now going to focus on maintenance and keeping it alive as long as possible while doing some personalizing mods along the way.

This was a great video. Love to see a guy that takes this much pride in his vehicle and is actually very knowledgeable on the vehicle. Compared to most of these young bucks that have no idea what any of the specs are.

Some of us are Ford guys, some Chevy, some RAM, Toyota, Nissan, we’ll argue all day what’s best, but in the end we’re truck folks and this guy is an example of pretty good man! Great interview enjoyed it, nice TRUCK!!’ Being a lowly XL owner, not frugal just poor, upidy XLT owners with your heated seats and chrome!!! My STX means Shit Trucks Xpensive,,,,,,sorry about the cuss word.

The wobble he refrences at 7:19 was the only reason i traded my 2017 f250. It unfortunately happened too often & the trips to the dealer solved nothing. I traded it in for a chevy 2500 & although I love the ride on my new truck, I miss the body style of my ford. Its like settling down with a nice woman but still missing that sexy looking head turner that treated you like crap lol.

FAVORITE SEGMENT EVER! another great video and guest, thanks TFLT!

I could tell that man was pretty well-versed in trucks. You also asked some good questions of him and I always enjoy your take on different trucks.

Ron does not want us to know that the dealer ripped him off and that he is not a good negotiator at all.

I love this video, finally a real truck that gets naught and built exactly for what it’s used for, nothing against the higher trim models but they are getting outrageously expensive!!!

These owner reviews are great; real world information from folks that made the big ticket purchase as opposed to a 1 hour test drive impression, keep them up!

This is why i watch these videos! That light bar tip was great! Thanks Ron!

Great vid from a real guy that uses his truck thanks

Whether you choose a Ford, a Chevy, a RAM or GMC pickup -- they're ALL great vehicles and are a bargain for what you get -- towing capacity, utility, comfort, safety, efficiency, and rock solid durability that cannot be matched by any other vehicles of any sort on the market.

This is a great platform for truck/car reviews. Nice Job!

I agree I watch every video, we got a 96 Bronco and 18 Ford F150 5.0 Lariat in our driveway and I always enjoy TFL informative Truck vids.

Hey Andre I would like if you come to Michigan and come do an overview in my dads truck like you did in this video

I agree with him, no need for leather, I've had that b4, and its cold in winter and hella hot in summer.

What a great vid, thanks TFL team!

Love love love ! I like how specific he is with what and why , good video yo 🌟

can't wait to see how the new 7.3 gas engine does

Hey I drove them all too and I bought a Ram 2500 Diesel. I guess I kinda understand what he means by turbo lag but the Cummins is a totally different animal. It doesn't act like the other two. And I didnt buy a diesel to race it. I bought it to tow. And it tows like a freight train baby! And I got 3.73 gears standard. Very happy about that. Im sure he would have liked the 3.73's since he went 3.55's and his only other option was 3.31's. And Im a Ford guy! I was orginally only considering a new F250 until I drove the Ram. Then I was like ok maybe Ill consider another manufacturer. And hey all the little things he complained about not having like the leather stearing wheel and dampened tailgate... all come standard on the Ram Big Horn addition. And no issues with hooking up safety chains. Ram did it right. Rams big horn is their level 2 package just like Fords XLT. O and no matter how much you outfit a truck level 2 package it doesn't come close to a Laramie or Fords Lariat. You jump a fence between a level 2/3 package. I would make the argument that you could outfit a level 3 package (Laramie/Lariat) close to a level 4/5 and you could outfit a level 1 (XL/Tradesman) to be closer too a level 2.

Thanks Andre. Another very entertaining video.

Andre is geeking out over the personal touches.

Those Amazon sourced Chinese front lights will last one winter season. 😁

Nice 250..⭐⭐⭐🏁🏁🏁..thanks Ron n Andre.. Its a big beautiful truck

I loved your video today keep making good videos 😁

This I like I'm liking these real world owner reviews not from dealership salesman or or manufacturer reviews great work TFL hope to see more Real reviews from real world owners ✌

Frugal: You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means

Love these “Dude I love or hate my ride” but I don’t recall ever having a guest who hated their ride, so why the title? I would be great to hear from bad experiences too

This was good. Good to hear an honest opinion. I like this guys way of thinking.

I have a 2018 super duty diesel and i went with leds from headlight revaluation they work great and the youtube video how to in stall worked out great. great trucks .

I'm just glad Tommy was with his babysitter for this video!!!

in my experience, RAM isn't the best chassis, but with some mods, IT IS. There is NOTHING easy about working on a PowerStroke. Cummins however, is. And Cummins is ALWAYS making improvements to maintenance items to make them better. Ford def. does RIDE BETTER hands down. Ford should have let Cummins put their name on the valve covers back in the 80's and Ford would OWN the truck industry, and everyone else would be selling compact cars instead!! Wait.....did I just hear him say they have wobble? LIKE Dodge "death wobble"? wow...... what irony. Great review though, good to see a REAL WORLD guy give his 2 cents!

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

wise and knowledgeable, great hearing his experience

Honestly this guy's opinion doesn't mean much to me after saying he didn't like the 7.3 cause it was too loud. I'm not even a Ford guy and even I know the 7.3 is one of the best diesels to be put in a pickup truck.

Cheap accessories make it look like a JC Whitney catalog.

This is great, it’s helping me decide what trim level to go with.

Love this getting guys that actually buy them and their feedback

That’s a beautiful 250

Ron don't worry it should be reliable for at least 20k miles

Enjoyed the video greatly! I love when y'all do these...especially when they are of ford trucks! (The best trucks)

Sounds like he did get a good deal on the truck, considering he went to several dealers....nice truck! Another great video!

Congratulations on your truck, love the color 👍🏻

Ford, Chevy, RAM, GMC -- they're ALL great pickups.

Great review. I didn't order mine, but it seems to be a much better way to go. Made that XLT very nice!

A sweet man with his awesome Superduty pickup truck. The interview went great❤.

So cool. Would love this one with the new 7,3 V8 Godzilla.

So I was going to buy one of these but then I realized I didn't have that kind of money so I got a 01 7.3 lariat f250 4x4 for a lot less.

Great review

I LOVE the rear truck release he installed. Pretty cool.

When does the owner hate their vehicle? Don’t recall that happening on tfl.

Very nice. I like all 3 brands. You never have to apologize for buying American. Great idea for lights.

First "mod" I did to mine was sealing up all those gaps around the bed with some color matched polyurethane caulking on the left and right side. Much better now.

Love my 18 Lariat really like the seating position tested a denali but felt like I was sitting in a bucket looking into the back side of the hood I like looking over the hood.

We have f350 diesel crew cabs with cranes and reading boxes at work. I haven't seen 1 that has gone over 10k miles without going back to ford for repairs. Several complete engines blown and Tons of egr and regen issues. My 6.0 excursion looks bulletproof compared to these new diesel engines

haha shackles on the tow hook mounts just like mine. None of my trailer hooks will snap on to the hitch, ugh! What was Ford thinking??

excellent video. we need more cuz it helps.

Just a beautiful truck. Works so well. So much tourque

Really good video. I work for a Ford dealership, and really like the Super Duty truck line. But i will not buy one until they figure out their horrible death wobble issues. A very huge safety concern!

Wait til that 6.7 drops a glow plug. He won't be smiling with a 17000 dollar engine replacement

Classic old man truck review. Should make a disclaimer about allowing the purchase price to be a part of the review, people really like to know what real world prices are. It is one of the most important parts of buying a vehicle, cost.

The steering wobble he mentioned. There is a TSB to replace the steering damper. They are back ordered but they are available.

Price is one of the biggest details with a new truck & grandpa can’t say what he paid? Should’ve just told him to go home & get another guy. That ruined the video.

The ram had lag?? I’ve always felt like the Cummins straight 6 always had a quicker big hit of torque than the V8 diesels. I’ve spent a lot of time in a Duramax hauling cattle. The V8 really shines when climbing a grade at 80mph and maintaining speed. The 6 felt like it had more getting up and going power but won’t run a load of cows 80mph up a hill. I like them both! But V8 feels more laggy to me when getting started but has better high speed power

Nice truck! I'm thinking about getting a 2020 Raptor

I got a 2011 ford f250 6.2 and only problems I've had are common car problems that could happen to any car. Had a few flat tires and one of my wheel weights fell off. Over 110k miles and just fluid changes so far. Been good so far! That's a nice truck though! Lots more power.

Well youl regret that when it's in the shop more often than not. But I'm biased. Great review and thank you for being frank with the viewers.

Is it just me or does their intro sound like the office

This guy reminds me of my dad a bit. He just bought a new 3.5EB F-150, also XLT, also has some minor touches customized for him. I've been driving it all over the place in the snow recently, fun truck. Was worried that the 10spd would constantly be searching for the next gear, and there is a little of that, but it's not too bad. Regarding this guy's truck, I'm so infatuated with the Tremors right now that any other Super Duty seems a little pedestrian!

Best looking truck on the market imo. Great video.

60 percent of the comments- much truck, very cool. 30 percent of the comments- rattling off old stereotypes 10 percent of the comments- oh he paid $$$

Nothing looses resale value faster than a Ford with a 6.7L in it.

What is the payload capacity on your F-250?

I'd love to have that '99 with the 6.8 V10 and 4.30 rear end.

Ram got eliminated first? Should have known, he has Rough Country on his truck. I wouldnt expect him to know what quality is anyways

We're going to have somebody that hates the ride

KEEP THESE TYPE VIDS COMMING PLEASE!!!!!👍👌

Fantastic! Does it come with the steel chest???

I like the frugality, I bet he is debt free and paid cash.

10:54 is that a poop on the ground?

How can I order directly from Ford? I can’t hear clearly.

I had a v10 with 4.33 gears and it was great and really was impressive, I still kind of miss her just wished she got better mpgs, but I wanted diesel so I got rid of it and got a 7.3.

Have yall done a 5.3 vs 6.2 chevy silverado test with towing and mpg and drag race? If not will yall ever? Yall should do the drag race with 5.3, 6.2 chevy and 2.7, 3.5, and 5.0 f150 also the ram v6 and v8 models that would be awesome.

I had the death wobble at 36k miles on my F250. The cheapo fix for the wobble is a new steering dampener. There is a technical service bulletin out from Ford that lists the parts needed to actually fix it though. I had to buy big D rings for my towing setup too. Ford screwed that up

Loveland ford does a good job at taking care of their customers in Loveland Colorado

Can I hire this guy to go get me my custom vehicle for dirt cheap, this man is serious about his research on these vehicles whether that be reading or hands on!
