ferrariteddy MY CAPS LOCK ARE ON

YES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS I REALLY APPRECIATE IT GUYS!!!!!!!!!

You're damn right my friend. Ford hit the homerun here, and while people complain about HP/TQ #'s they'll have to be schooled on the purpose of dyno's. Otherwise the Raptor and Limited F-150 would tow somewhere around 17,500 pounds. Not happening. Godzilla will be around for a long time and in 2 or 3 years, those performance #'s will rise.

Good luck on the trade in value on that Ram lol!

Xlts aren't really work trucks at least when you compare them to the XL.

Saw Andre pass out over a wench on a Power Wagon a year or so ago.

They had that shit in the 90's LOL.

William Sevier I’m just guessing but I’d say not in Russia! Being grateful is a awesome gift and rare in people!

Andre seems like such a cool dude

KID and CANDY STORE rings a bell.

I find this level of excitement going from a high-luxury new RAM to the more basic XLT work truck to be very amusing!! (and I am an F150 XLT owner). The RAM could likely heat and cool your drinks, and Andre is excited about conventional cup holders and the door keypad which is essentially on all Fords for 40 years!

Thank God Chevy never went away from the pushrod engine. Far superior for work.

@@scarhart53 too bad you can only get a 10 speed in premium trims.

Yeah rt sure was that not the silliest thing - He either totally dint give a sh.t or just glossed over for some strange reason

Total salesman answer tho right.

I was hoping more people caught that. That was funny haha

Roman actually said more 7.3’s or Super Duty’s, paused a second and corrected himself finishing the question by adding diesel to the end. Give the guy a break. He was star struck

He probably thought the question meant do you think you'll sell more HD trucks in general. So he said I hope so. Considering the profit margins on these are pretty huge, they'd rather sell them than F150s.

True, especially when you know you're actually buying 'that' truck.

Exactly when I got my new 2020 Tundra

Wheel bearing good one. Comedic genius.

I love Andre and his accent. Greatest team together

He is like me , i love watching other fools spend their money lol.

Andrew is a true enthusiast!

Can't stand him

I noticed, my 2019 XLT 6.2L with FX4 package MSRP was about the same. Difference is mine has all 5 cameras, electric expanding/stowing mirrors, rear glass electric window, tailgate ladder and accessory switch board.

I Ray agree 100% it’s a nice looking truck

Yes

Dear TFL, this one mod will get you the most views hands down

I’ve been loosing for an aftermarket exhaust clip for week! The FLT guys better get it done!!

Yes!

I agree with you since most of us can't afford a 80k truck. At the same time, it sucks to not be able to see the trucks full potential and amenities, for those who might consider switching brands..

Steven Echelberger - we will still see the loaners they get through the year to see the high end trucks.

Steven Echelberger we can actually, but it’s about the better choice & having a work model with this big engine to test it is the right call.

They are always so biased to Fords anyway. So we probably won't see to much of that.

Miles Deubert - see much of what? Do you think they are biased? They don’t like the interior and have been negative on it for the past couple of years. The mother side of the coin is they may not be too negative otherwise because Ford actually,are a good product. They are somewhat merciless in regards to the Ford Flex and their negative opinion. Easy to throw out a statement like yours but what proof do you have they are biased? I actually find they are not exactly biased towards Ford. They are critical of the Ranger and the fact it is not a completely brand new model, but then when they take it off-road, tow with it and do performance tests, it turns out to be a good truck! They are actually objective.

Yeah like right now Hahaha.

They aren't allowed until the end of January because ford wants to give all journalists an opportunity to test it first.

Same here!

Itll spank the 6.6 and 6.4

The GM engineers know how to build gas engines.....LS.....but they do not have a clue on how to build trucks...especially the Class 2 ( 2500 ) and Class 3 ( 3500 ) trucks. The new Ford 7.3L gas engine is going to be awesome.....engineers did a phenomenal job...way over built...for strength, reliability, and long term durability. It is about time truck buying consumers get a gas engine for long term use.....for those who do not need a diesel engine and or do not want the high maintenance costs and probability of expensive repairs. High 5 to Ford!!!

This seems more like for the "average business owner". The average joe, judging by US average income, is probably still trying to afford a used pickup from the previous generation.

XLT used to be the top trim... in my old man voice.

$56,000 isn’t what us average joes can afford! Your looking at $800 a month truck payment! Not to mention insurance! That’s more than my house payment!

You are wrong....😂😂

Yea. My 2013 F350 has vinyl flooring, no touch screen or Bluetooth, bench seat up front, and suede seats...I wish it would come with all the stuff they got lol

All I want is the current gen or last gen chevy since its prob the last time we will see the small 7 or 8 inch screen with a key and a column shifter.

Hey, when it's -15 out, that ass warmer is very nice when you're freezing to death working around the farm, I know I appreciate it.

And you can get ass warmers with cloth seats on the XLT now. At least my '18 F-150 came like that

I remember in 2004 you could buy a Reg Cab 2wd V8 Ram Work truck for less than 10k brand new. Where did those days go? Starting price now is well over $30K! My paycheck hasn’t tripled since then!

Sooooooo nice!!!!!!! 🤩 i still cant decide 😭 diesel or GAS?! 7.3l or powerstroke....

@@josexavier2912 - how much do you tow heavy and how regularly? If you tow over 50% of the time, diesel.

J Xavi I love diesels, but the cons outweigh the pros right now. Unless you own a business.

Don Leamon am wondering if the 7.3 with its 260ish foot lbs of torque can easily carry a 2600 lb camper up steep off road hills and mountains with ease. Have been using a 2008 F-350 with the old 6.4 which has worked very well over the past ten years. Now looking to put together a new rig and am considering the 7.3 for the cheaper price and better payload. I’m just worried about the engines ability with a camper of that weight .

@@keylargo5157 new gas 7.3l is 430hp and 475lb/ft tq. More hp and close to the same tq as the '96 7.3l powerstroke. With the new 10spd transmission that 2600lb camper should be no problem.

Dope

Wish I could afford one. Currently own a 99 f250 xlt extended cab short bed. Has the 7.3 powerstroke

@@k9leadstheway531 new trucks are bad ass, but older ones have more character. And my payment kills my checking account every month. Yet you can go and actually play, they drive better paid for what I hear. 72 months maybe i'll find out, enjoy your truck!! New ones are made everyday,

@@davidlusk4350 very true. No truck payment is awesome.

@@k9leadstheway531 As long as the truck you have is reliable. I love having no truck payments right now, but maintenance on an old diesel is killer. Everyone's situation is different but I'm not looking forward to payments on the cost of a new truck.

Who buys a 7.3 and worries about mpg tho? Especially if you're towing alot

1 highway, 0 city. 😛

Me as well

@@mrhombregordo9556 People who own a business and want to keep fuel costs down but have great capabilities and need maintenance to be low.

Mr Hombre Gordo Lots of people you would be surprised. Most anyfleet is going to want to know the fuel economy before they purchase any number of these trucks.

You might be able to find a chasis cab with the 4:30 but you might have to order it

The 4:30 is nice, I have the 4:30......in my TUNDRA

Shouldn’t need a 4 30 with the 10 speed

Flowmaster exhaust please?

With the 10 speed, a super low axle isn't really necessary. My truck has the "old" 6spd and 3.31 and it'll climb anything or smoke the tires as is.

Biggest thing I wanna know cause I want one

I've heard 11's unloaded

@@pryme2013 that would be about what i guess Chevy 6.6 gasser gets about 15 to 16 unloaded

It will be as good as the Rebel Rouser with those 3:55s. The 10 speed automatic basically eliminates the need for gears as low as 4:30s unless you are rock crawling.

@@pryme2013 - Yikes. I was hoping 13-14. We'll have to wait and see. At least we know that they will do their standard loop. Elevation or not, it is a good test for us regular viewers.

Similar story here, my 1985 7.5 has outlasted my buddy's trucks in miles and years, I've had a single 460 with no rebuild while my buddy has toasted 2 Cummins, a 7.3 powerstroke, a Duramax, and a 6.7 powerstroke.

those are great engines,mine is 90 351m,still strong aand she is 30 years old but,not in a truck,it's in an ex fire chief's car CV,,love them.

I had a 1969 Windsor that i put in a 1969 Ranchero. Those are awesome engines. I built the motor myself from the block up, in which i bumped up the HP to about 525 horses before putting it in the car in 1987, and it still ran the day i sold it in 2006. I got sick and had to sell the car,,,,,and i was SO SAD. The Windsor is truly a great engine.

I'm still driving my 79 f250 with a 460 daily, trucks just aren't what they used to be.

@@ghost-jesus He's doing something seriously wrong to trash those engines.

They got a GM? I must have missed that part.

Then what? You can't put it in gear. Truck won't move without the key and the steering is still locked.

Buckhorn Cortez so you wouldn’t care if someone could just let them selfs in even if they can’t drive it?

@@Not_Genie The phone is keyed to the truck - just like the truck's remote that is used for keyless entry. Your phone is paired with the truck and the keyless entry system with a unique ID and the vehicle's VIN. The app checks the VIN with the vehicle before pairing the vehicle / phone. Unless you can hack the keyless entry system, and know the VIN you can't get into the truck with another phone because the other phone isn't paired to the truck. Now, if you lose your phone or it's stolen, then you have a problem - the same as if you lost a car key. However, if you call Ford they can disable the account because it is a cloud-based system. When you boot up the app on the phone it requires entry of a password. The app checks the FordPass cloud software to verify the account & password. If Ford deactivates the account associated with the vehicle's VIN - the app won't work.

And your 100% that it’s not possible to hack that system and password and or get the vin from the vehicle

Oil change shops, tire shops, mechanic shops, all record vin numbers, multiple sources for hackers to go to.

If it comes in Magma Red like the F-150, you've GOT to see that first before you decide. It looks black until the sun hits it and there's like flakes of copper in it.

When Budget didn't have the SUV I reserved, they gave me the 6,2 F250 XLT. I fell in love with it.

I'm wondering why there's still an embargo if you can go buy one today..

ThisMakesMeThink I wonder the same thing. When the one that was delivered to TFL from Ford, they were hitting the dealers here in Oklahoma at the same time. I don’t know, This Makes Me Think...

As automotive journalists, they will very likely follow the embargo regardless of what consumers can get today. They’ve stated in a previous video they will respect other automotive journalists and wait until the embargo lifts in January to give us all the info. There’s already a couple videos online of driving impressions of the 2020 SD.

If you own it Ford can't say shit legally. As a courtesy to other journalist they may wait but that would be their decision

I thought the embargo was on the Tremor, as it's not in the dealers just yet.

nathan nelson dream jobs!!

Yas - yeah you might be right Yas!! Haha.

Its a brand new engine, so there are zero existing parts that will work for it. But eventually, there will be plenty assuming it ends up in other vehicles (next Raptor?)

Na they shouldn’t touch it at all for long term tests

@Vegas EMT It's also relatively mild for longevity.

@Vegas EMT I won't buy a 1st year anything anymore but I think this motor is a good choice in the 3/4 ton bracket. Modern diesels are a PITA if you don't really need the 1 ton use case. IMHO of course.

There is already one swapped in a foxbody mustang for R&D.. If they're as tough of an engine as ford is claiming, then I'm sure the hotrodders will be boosting them to over 1000hp on stock bottomends asap haha
