Thank you for the feedback!

I also own a 2017 F250 6.7. Love it! 🇺🇸

Any exhaust aftertreatment issues?

@@DavidHuber1 Zero! Always topped off the DEF fluid when it hit half a tank. If I was working close in town and didn’t get on the highway that week. I would do a standing regen with the Banks idash.

My 2015 2500HD has 235k miles and has had nothing replaced but brake pads. Batteries say 2015 on them (AC Delco) maybe your 300k were some hard miles, but that actually seems like a pretty needy truck to me…

Yes, I agree, what they consider long-term (1 year) is not my long-term. I just sold a 1987 F150 with the 4.9 300 in-line 6 cylinder with over 500,000 miles on it, regular maintenance & 1 transmission, now that's long-term.

@@scottyellis3442 Now that’s long term!

No, it's NOT a review. TFL did own or drive this truck. Andre just took a quick look at somebody else's used truck.

@@larrysmith6797 If you haven't seen it already, head over to TFLclassics. Aundre interviews a guy with a heavily worked 2000 F-250 diesel with 500K miles.

Yeah there's a lot of "long term" 50k mile reviews lol

Yeah,becauve in the winter, if we don't plug our diesel,it don't start, and the "winter front" help very much. It's why in Quebec, gas truck is popular, because it's always start in winter

Definitely

The Truck was fitted with a winter front for the winter and a bug screen for the summer. The Winter front just speeds up engine warm up and helps keep the engine at operating temps and helps to minimmize heat loss from the cab. This truck was used just in the Prairies where salt is not used on the roads in winter, calcium cloride brine is used in its sted. If it was an eastern truck from the rust belt is would be heavily rusted on the under side.

WTF is a hot shot truck?

@@Outdoor_MED basically a truck that lives on the road hauling anything from machinery to parts or anything that needs shipped privately or for a business, something a regular Joe can start up to make living.

@@Outdoor_MEDhot shot are guys who do commercial style hauling with HD trucks.

A truck that is shot (most likely with double barrel shotgun) and left on the side of the road in hot climate (usually in desert heat). Hot shot truck.

In my opinion that’s the best looking grill ford has produced in a long time. The new one has to go. Looks like crap.

Any emission issues?

Rams a better truck.

Rams are the best 💪

Hauling RV's maybe. Not quite as hard on the truck as pulling flatbed freight. You can rack up 75-100k miles a year if you do it full time.

Any Pickup used constantly will last a lot longer than a short stop and go version

As well some of the Global Diesel Midsizers have impressive use mileages. Isuzu said that 95% of their Dmax Pickups get 220,000 miles before a major service

@@robertryan7204what’s the reason for that?

@@Halfdead211 well like Taxi's that are constantly running hot, they do staggering mileage compared to a normal vehicle

A chevy will get you halfway, a ford will get you there, and more!

I am a big Chevy guy and 14-20 was NOT the year to buy a Chevy gasser. The diesels were fine however

@@wakeupamerica2024 yeah, I was wondering about that myself 🤏🏾

That's encouraging for sure. The high mileage trucks are the only ones I can afford lol

It has a well-used gooseneck hitch, that indicates it was towing a heavy 5th wheel trailer, as they are not used for light hauling. So, it was not an easy life. Everything would have been strained constantly.

@@skrsyshighway life is easy, even when towing a trailer. It will only wear the trans a little because when cruising down the road you are barely shifting, it will wear certain gears slowly

Easy life, hard life, call it what you want. Regardless this truck performed its job it was built for. And performed very well.

If it was constantly towing a 5th wheel/goose neck trailer, highway miles or not, those would be hard miles

They are definitely highway miles but likely heavily loaded miles. That and it was in Canada. That makes for a very hard life.

Highway miles towing 30k up and down hills aren't hard miles?

Yeah, hard highway miles. Those rear bump stops will tell the story.

You don't tow much do ya? 🤣

I’m a Troubleman for a utility and I have a 550 and the thing has insane idle time truck never shuts off and tons of off road and in town driving plus a boom with pto..I have an 18 and it’s at 150k very hard miles only thing ever done has been the upper oil pan gasket ..I drove Chevy for 40 years but I was so impressed with my work truck I went and bought a 22 f250

Best comment and only comment who agrees with what I also thought.

If yoi buy a truck like this is to work other wise is a waste of money .

i have a 2020 6.7 with 26,400 miles on it and its just had its 5th oil change!

Same issue in my 17 f150

Just had to do my 2015 f150 too, they're cheap and dont take weather well.

Yep they all crack

The fuel pump is completely random so I’d say 50/50 it’s even been changed. As far as oil pan. Similar thing. On a 2020. I highly doubt it’s been done yet.

My 19 got an upper pan gasket at 95k

If it had anything like that done it would have showed up on the service records.

My 2015 215k on it oil pan done twice and same with the cp4 trans started shifting hard at 200k and after the second time repairing the cp4 it kept going into limp mode fought with it for 8months and ended up trading it in on a ram.

The oil pan only needs to be done once if it's done correctly the first time.

Heat cycles are key! How many? If it stayed running means less heat cycles!

It is more than maintenance…great built trucks…poorly built trucks fall apart even with maintenance

Incorrect. A truck that stays running typically means there's a lot of idle time and idle time wears out camshafts, lifters and oil pumps. Though the engine has 300+ doesn't mean a catastrophic failure isn't right around the corner if there was a lot of idle time. That's why government vehicles such as police vehicles are often sold with 150-250,000 on the clock because more often than not the camshafts on the engines are completely wiped. I've bought more than my fair share. My best purchase was a 1995 F350 7.3 crew cab long bed 5 speed 4wd. It was a previous transport truck for highway crews and had 285 on it and had a broken leaf spring. Once fixed, I ran it for 100k without issue. The trick was that the truck was driven long distances and had almost no idle time between stops. I know because it was assigned to my neighbor for 20 years from the state and he bought it after it was retired and he retired a couple years after.

@@alpha2gproject783Yeah, gov't vehicles do spend a lot of time idling... but vehicles like what is in this video are more commonly associated with the hotshot market. Those don't sit idle, they run... 10's of thousands of miles a month!

@@wakeupamerica2024 I mean, should have tried unlocking the tailgate manually anyway. Never hurts to try to narrow down the problem...

@@wakeupamerica2024 Glad mine doesn't do that. I have a 2022 Maverick and I live in South Florida, so it's been like 100F+ every day this month, lol.

15k for that truck… what a grand and intoxicating innocence.

lol what year do you think this is

We randomly found it for sale. Decided to review it.

Especially a late model high Mileage car , they are great

When do you sleep dude?
