I have driven both for many years and Ram looks so much more flush inside and was more quiet on engine turbo speed. Ford is better on 10 speed / mpg but wider parameter may shorten the engine/transmission life span vs Ram. MPG is better on Ford. Ram 3500 comes with TPMS and rear air bag.. F450 doesn't come with TPMS. They are both great trucks. My current vehicle is 2023 Ram 3500 Limited DRW HO 6.7 4.1 Gear Night Edition. My last vehicle is F350 DRW Limited 6.7 LWB 3.55. . I am really enjoying the engine brake on my Ram.. It is great...
When you get used to having to tap the brake to engage the e-brake it's better - but sometimes I think it's more of an engine/tranny brake than an e-brake. However... my Cummins trucks had WAY better exhaust brakes that's irrefutable.
Hey Paul, I’ve watched your channel for many years and you really helped me a lot whenever I got started in Hot Shot back in 2018. I would cruise the highway listening to your videos. I’ve moved on from that industry, but I’m still towing my skid steer and dump trailer just about every day now with my Cummins. I had a 2015 at the time but now I have a 2006 with the 5.9. I’m hoping to pick your brain About the exhaust manifold. Should I go with a steed speed or a BD? My gasket is leaking on a few cylinders for my stock unit and I’m around 340,000 miles now.
I have 3 4th gen’s and love them. Looking to buy a new one. If the 2025 doesn’t come with the 8 speed everyone is talking about, I’m switching to ford. Really enjoy the videos!
Fair comments on the GMC seats, they’re hard with very little support. Love the tech on the GMC but hate how the shifter blocks a portion of the screen when in drive. - 24’ GMC 2500 AT4
I’ve got a 08 Chevy 2500HD LT and it is more comfortable than my 18 Ram 2500 that I had and 19 Ford 250. Though power wise I miss the Ram and the exhaust brake. Transmission issues ended that truck for me. The oil leak and dealership mechanic cost me my Ford when they did the oil pan gaskets. Less than 2K miles after they had it. The engine started knocking
I really hope ram has something up their sleeve because they need it. Honestly I miss my Megacab I had. Just don’t want to buy same truck. I enjoy testing and experimenting with new trucks. But looking forward to the new ram with a Megacab.
I like how you are promoting the Ford seats. The 2021 Denali Ultimate has some stiff seats and I thought they would get better. They have gotten slightly better but I am interested in feeling these limited seats for myself.
@pddieselpower what would u say to bring the temps down to on the 24 powerstroke?? I notice u cracked the heat up for 5-10 mins and the oil and coolant temps drop but what should the gauges be at?? And please put out the video on the exhaust brake and def filter I'm going to delete my truck cause my filter fills up no matter what additives I add!!! It idles it fills then regens!! My 24 doesn't make any noise I haven't been able to talk listen to music for weeks they say it's the amp another dealer said it's modules need a upgrade which will be quarter 4 of this year they dont have software upgrade it makes high pitch squeals or it's silent!!!
Paul, did you order one of the new RAM 25s? Seems that they are stepping up the HP in the cummins and putting the ZF behind the Cummins now. I wonder if they will put a dipstick on the ZF? Hopefully it does.
Just a warning about the DPF percentage shown in the instrument panel. My 23 hasn’t moved off zero since the first 10k miles(129k currently), but if you use a scan tool it’s definitely in active regen regularly which should mean that the filter has some level of accumulation above zero percent. Even idling all night in sub freezing temperatures doesn’t increase the displayed percentage.
I'd say that's a lot. Mine just turned 2k and my def gauge says it's still at 80% mines an f350 h.o 6.5 bed my first diesel so I'm a newby but so far I'm amazed by the power and comfort of this thing. Very pleased so far just under 18mpg banging around town running 275/65/20 with 355 gears. Good luck with you're rig man
Ya when ram changed from the 5.7 hemi to the new engine they made a big mistake people probably go to gm because of the v8 they still have but guess we see how the hurricane in the ram 1500 goes
My 24 it doesn’t even let you know when it’s doing a regen. And the forced regen you would have to see if it’s an option on fords website it used to be. I didn’t see it when I ordered mine. Granted the new DPF on all 23+ trucks has a 9th injector before the DPF so a regen doesn’t really matter for the engine now. And I haven’t see a MPG decrease when I see the DPF percentage drop very rapidly which I’m guessing is it doing a active regen
Exhaust brake should be like semi's 3 positions that actually work, also a v8 will cost more to work on than a straight 6 ,more room and 2 less injectors on a 6 . Why would you have a work truck with a sunroof ?. What is the cost to buy a Ford as opposed to Ram and which has better resale value.
I like your videos i think you make great content But sometimes you act like a pregnant woman and you get way way to picky but othere then that you seem like a good family man and i do like all your trucks
I hope it performs well because that’s a horrible looking Super Duty. Ridiculous looking bed and bumper steps. Goofy looking grill/frontend. #ford How many steps do we need ? #foolish
The step are nice to get stuff in and out of the bed .I am 6'3" and 195 lbs and in shape also ,so no short fat guy here. They look goofy i agree but are use full !
@@SickDayFishing262 so, what you saying you don’t know how often you change your oil. I did not ask if you were changing as often as your other vehicles.
@@repairvehicle don't get smart. 7,500 miles or 300 hours. Its tracked on ARI via gps. Drivers are also called in if the maintenance reminder comes on. Oil is 5w40 that meets Ford WSS severe service spec. This isn't my first rodeo…
I don't care what anyone says. Ford has the best interior out of all the major truck models. Very clean.

@@wj2791 ehhh not a fan of all the piano black
Full bore makes waterless hand cleaner and its solvent free. It’s great to rub on your hands and then just onto a paper towel. It’s good stuff.
Totally agree on the GM seats lol. I traded in my 23 Silverado after only 6 months because I could not deal with how firm and stiff those seats are.
They are the absolute worst. After 30 minutes, it feels like you're sitting on rocks.

I had a ford. It died at 360K my friends died at 380K another friend had one die at 280K
im in the same boat. If Ram doesn't release the 2025 with an 8 speed im switching the ford. Any update on when Ram is releasing the 2025?
Unfortunately 8 speed is useless when you have engine lifters without bearing and causing engine failure

I’ve heard some good things about a bundy exhaust brake. Might be able to wire it in with an upfitter switch too.
Tub o towels wipes!! Best for grease even cleans plastics
Try the (tub o towels ) lowes has them. They are great no nasty smell cleans grease dirt off your hands etc .I put them in every one of our trucks!

:) I wish ford would pay me. But ya. Seats is a big thing when you sit for hours
Ford seats are phenomenal. I may only have a F150 xlt, but done many 960 miles in a day runs. Personal not commercial. Best seats ever.

Hey man nice review.
Any feedback on the brake? I wished it had more bite to it.
May be upgrade to a more aggressive pads?
Is there something that can be done to make the exaus brake more aggressive?
Paul, did you order one of the new RAM 25s? Seems that they are stepping up the HP in the cummins and putting the ZF behind the Cummins now. I wonder if they will put a dipstick on the ZF? Hopefully it does.

Explains the def CONSUMPTION lol
what is the payload capacity?
New gm won’t stand up to hotshot. We have two 24’s and both waiting on trans under 100k. National back order.
Those GM and Ford 10-speeds...no thanks. That 8-speed ZF Ram is releasing soon might be alright.
@@BrandonLeech The early 10 speed fords had some problems later ones very very little !
Get tube o towels. There the vest wipes
I have a 2024 HO and I go through def like crazy. Like every 2 tanks of fuel. Is yours doing the same?
I'd say that's a lot.

The HO has a 9th injector correct ? At the exhaust before the DPF ? That really helps clean things up.
i thought all the 2025s got the upgrade with the dpf
@@privateer9181 Yup!
I'm pretty sure both versions of the 6.7 got the 9th injector in 2023.
Any truck post 2011 truck with def has a 9th injector in the exhaust
@@CodySimoncelli-of7xx that's not true. The duramax has had the 9th injector since 2011. The powerstroke didn't get a 9th injector until 2023.
Is there a place for a hand gun and can you do a forced regen . What your mpg
My 24 it doesn’t even let you know when it’s doing a regen. And the forced regen you would have to see if it’s an option on fords website it used to be. I didn’t see it when I ordered mine.

Any issues with the 2024 Ram 3500 Cummins?
Lifters without bearing is major design flaw that these engines
Turn all chimes off with FORScan
you can also zero everything out and it will remove the box completely, i did this 3 weeks ago and love it!!!

The mega cab isn’t gonna be Dooley. ??
I had a Ford an at 175 k it fell apart at 200k I got rid of it it had a bunch of gremlins
Cool story obviously not a 2024
my rams the drive trains were good the rest of the truck fell apart and the body rots as you look at it !

All our f550 powerstrokes are eating engines. They're hot garbage.
How often do you change your oil? Also, how much time it’s driving vs parked idling?
?????????????????????????????????????????
@@repairvehicle the exact same as our duramax, and Cummins engines. They don't exploded.
