- It's been a minute but we're back with another episode of Truck Talk Tuesday! I wanted to share with you guys my "Top 10 Things I Dislike On My 2017 F-250"!
Now don't get me wrong, I am very thankful and very blessed with owning this truck. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about it but, that doesn't mean there aren't a few things that are frustrating.
Again, this is all just based on my experience and my opinion! Sometimes it makes you wonder who thought of these things, and why they designed things the way they did. Gotta love my engineer friends!
Again, at the end of the day, I am super thankful to own this truck and to have it in our arsenal. But, I have to be candid and honest with you guys, and let you know that even THIS truck, my dream truck, still has a few things I dislike about it! Enjoy.

Two things I hate about Brian's F250
1: it has a sunroof
2: It is not mine
Jesús H. Vázquez hard work and you can get one too ezpz
Trucks went downhill once the Office Exec thought it wasn’t cool to drive in the average Joe’s truck on the weekend and turn it into a luxury Auto! Does someone really need Exotic Leather Suede Messaging Seats!!! AND a 100 inch Panaramic Sunroof!!!
REALLY!!!!
Yeah sunroofs aren’t for me
That’s why I love my 2000 f250 powerstroke 7.3 diésel not a lot of bs or crazy technology just a simple and reliable work truck
G hrvyck nothing that affects me until today and I’m at 316000 miles
I drove my uncles f250 lariat 6.7 power stroke turbo diesel 6 inch lift on 35 inch wheels....she’s a beast fell in love with the truck.
Numbers 1-7 are all fixed by getting an XLT.
And adds a few grand to the pocket
Maybe the key fob is a problem because you aren't used to having something really large in your pants. Thanks, remember to tip your waitress and try the veal, I'm here all week.
Hey Brian, I am sure you got it down by now but regarding the exterior handle; just put your hand in the “scoop” portion to unlock the truck (while not touching the exterior black button). When exiting the truck just tap the black button to lock.
The way I have been getting around the double horn going off (while running and keys in hand) is leaving the keys in the vehicle and locking the truck. This is assuming you have the exterior key pad to get back in. Keep the videos coming.
Great video Brian, we here are laughing at the key fob explanation, hilarious! There are definitely good and bad things about every truck, thank you for sharing your concerns!
Great point on the moon/sunroof! I just upgraded from a 2015 F250 King Ranch and went to 2020 F250 Lariat. On the 2020 lariat, No moon/sunroof (didn’t want ) no smart key (I didn’t want that) no navigation however has the big screen and upgraded sound (didn’t want nav anyways). With the 2020 the ford pass app allows remote start. I think they listened to buyers after they did the new body style. Thanks for posting! Good looking truck you got.
i have a 2018 King Ranch and you nailed some for me. the handles is at the top of my list
Look into Forscan it can allow you to change factory settings like daytime running lights, door dinger, blackout interior lights etc. Just something to look into.
Cool video Brian. Reminds me about first Ford that I bought back in 1969. It was a 68 f350 with 9k miles. I paid a wooping 1700 cash for it. I had a 20 ton hoist installed to make it a HD dump. The bed size was 12’x7.5’ with 54” sides!
We don’t generally use pickups for landscaping on Long Island NY. It’s all about material handling. Dump bodies are a must.
I bought over 35 Ford work trucks from f350 to f650 during my weed puller working career. And loved every minute of it!!!
Dang that's whats up lol Nice!
Up down up down left right left right XD. Liked for that alone. Good feedback for something you're paying a ton for.
12:41 I had the same issue too. I live in California and ended up buying my truck electronically from a dealer in Virginia. I actually found the truck on Autotrader and then confirmed on their website, and then called the dealer directly. At the same time, I actually had a dealer in California search all the inventory for me nationwide. They can do that at the dealers. I was specifically looking for a long bed in the exact truck I wanted. As it turns out, the dealer confirmed there were none in the western United States, so I focused my efforts on the eastern US. For one reason or another, at that time, I noticed there were some areas of unusually high inventory at much cheaper prices than other places, and those locations were in Montana, Wisconsin, Virginia, Maryland, and South Carolina.
Hey Brian, To disable the double honk on your horn when you have it running, just leave the keyfob in the truck while hooking up or loading & it wont beep, or use Forscan to disable it.
Great thanks so much Brian for a new edition of Truck Talk Tuesday:) I really appreciate your list, sometimes I really wonder what these truck manufacturers are thinking. Cost has really gotten up there. As for the perks well I don't mind the nice interiors and the tech things as you called them are really tools got the most part. The 360 camera is a nice thing to have, if it saves you from hitting something then it's worth every penny. I agree the moon roof is not really needed. I'm with you on the supercab over the crew cab, I agree on the door issue. On my dream truck it has to have an 8 ft bed I have the truck to haul things the more room the better. Again thanks for the Truck Talk Tues missed it 😁
PS I hope Liz is feelin better
Thanks brother!
2017 Platinum, super crew, 8' bed, 6" lift, 37s, love it.
13:50 pretty funny I got a good laugh. Keep it up hope to see ya around town sometime
I just picked up a 2018 F250 w/ a 6.2 and I love it, but and I had to buy an XLT because the moon roof killed my headroom, which kind of sucks because I would’ve liked leather and some other features not available on the lower models. I hate moon roofs on trucks!
Would you consider putting a tool box on the truck? Or is the enclosed trailer enough storage for equipment/tools etc?
I have a 2016 f150 and have the same door handle problem and horn problems it's crazy annoying i also added 5/8 stainless steel hooks to fix the chain problem
You had some valid points! Great video!!
The reason Ford doesn’t do a small rear door is because it’s not only significantly more difficult for ingress and egress of rear passengers due to the addition of a central B-pillar, but customers purchasing extended-cab vehicles are often looking for more interior cargo space beyond a regular cab and are likely only carrying the driver and passenger with infrequent rear passengers. For anyone regularly carrying rear par rangers, they make the full four-doors. Moreover, when you compare the rear door size of the Ford to Ram, it is much smaller while still providing the same rear leg room.
Yes sir, horn scares the cap right out of me when I forget...door handles, like em actually.
You talked about not necassarily wanting a double cab vs a crew cab. I will say this having the "double/extended" cab on my GMC Sierra and being new to the Dad life. I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET A CREW CAB!! That unecessary room you have now will come in to great use once you and Liz start your own family. It is a pain in the neck loading him in and out and everything that we pack for him with the restricted room. But, I can see where you are coming from though if you have intentions on making your truck strictly a work truck and not a daily driver as well. Great video man! It definitely gave me an insight on the newer Fords to weigh in on my decision to getting a new truck.
So-Low Cuts Landscaping I have opinions you have wisdom, lol good to know tho pal thx for weighing in!
Brian's Lawn Maintenance I guess since the crew cab bothers you so much, we can just do a clean swap for trucks 😉🤙
Lol
I have a 2018 f350 platinum. I read the manual and the black fob on the door handle is to close, not to open it. I'm with you on the beep the truck makes when you step out of it with the key in your pants, its annoying as hell, and lastly, yes I hate the big key fob in my pocket. Good review bro
This is your interesting to see your viewpoints. Having a 2017 F250 XL trim, most of your complaints on the truck are not a problem (available feature) for me. Totally agree tow hook loops are too small, but the receiver spacer drives me crazy. It should have been designed to line up the hole when pushed in all the way. I personally love all the rear space in the crew cab (I also have 8' bed). I also found the 100 mile range on fords website to be an annoyance. My dealer went 300 miles to get my truck.
The door handle issue is not an issue unique to Ford. I had a 2015 Jeep GC with the same feature. The manual even says you likely may need to change your habit pattern of putting your thumb on the lock/unlock button. Just slide your fingers behind the handle. I personally love it! Loved it on my Jeep and love it on my F-150.
I had the same issue trying to find a car for my wife through the dealer. I went to Auto trader and put in all the options I wanted and searched it out. I agree with the honking noise and it's annoying! I just bought a 18 f150 and love it with out the push button start.
Hey Brian, how do you not pick up any debris at your clients properties? Love your videos!
I have a red 2017 F250 XLT 4x4 also!
It has less options, but I love it. Bought used, 31,000 miles, for $28,000. Its my dream truck.
hey how'd you get your clients to give you they're cards to keep on file? do you run their card before you Bill them? or do you wait for them to pay and if they don't pay then you run their card?
Another video for another time but it’s through Yardbooks
Nice video . With 60k you want the best outcome for your pickup.
I agree that Ford needs to pay attention to their consumers.
You can download the forscan software and change the programming in your truck with your laptop... so you can change most of the electronic settings you don’t like. You can also go in and customize a lot of features. It’s extremely user friendly software.
John Fuhr Will have to look into that. Thanks pal
You can bypass that double honk by leaving your door slightly ajar, as long as you're not going far from the truck. I had the same prob until I found out by accident.
My dads a game warden in Texas and their mechanics do a really nice thing where they wire the truck where it doesn’t honk when you lock the truck, they can press a button and every light (ex. Dash light, headlight, ceiling lights, back up cam screen) and it doesn’t ding when you open the door. I think it would be really nice to have a option for things like that in a normal truck
I have a 2017 F250, I love it. No sunroof/moonroof. I have the Camping Edition package.
Great video!
We have a 08 F350 diesel, a 14 F350 gas burner and a 17 F250 that’s all we use 250 my favorite 👍 and I agree we are appreciative people also and are true to Ford but the prices are getting crazy
It's not just $1080 for the LED headlights, but the $3255 Lariat Ultimate package required for the LEDs. Or the fact that you have to step up to a Lariat in the first place.
An additional problem is the smallish gas tank on the ccsb. If you're towing, you'll be having to fill up every 150-250 miles depending if you're in the city or highway. But according the website, the ccsb has the 48 gallon tank for the gas engine, which they have not corrected even for the 2018 model year
Truth
Love truck talk Tuesday!
Ford really needs to have a sit down with you, all legitimate gripes in my view and things they can fix.
I'll demo their 2020 refresh. I'll take one for the team. haha. Just tryna help!
#8. Agree. I rented an F 250 last summer to tow our travel trailer. I thought I was doing something wrong trying to hook up those chains.
The Konami code lol. I'm glad someone is from my era.
My 2017 f250 overheats at idle here in Arizona. I did notice it is not bumping the idle before it alarms high temp
How are you filming? When I was using my phone connected to a suction mount on the dash and it shakes too much.
So why did you buy a Lariat as a work truck? I bought a '17 F350 with the premium package. It has telescoping tow mirrors, GPS screen, headed seats, but none of the leather, sunroof, LED lights etc. I have vinyl floor which I love for the ease of cleaning and it also has the plow package. I paid just under 53k for mine..
Great video brother keep up the awesome work Truck prices are way to high they need to bring them back done some i sell use cars and classics have a detail shop seen some new trucks here in Fl in the 90s
Man your right on about that door!!!! The two back ones need to be a little shorter.....They just look to big on the truck!!!
I couldn't agree more about the 100 mile radius, that drove me nuts. I know I'm late but got damn.
Great video!! I just bought a 2019 STX 150 more reasonable and looks good.
How much u paid I plan to buy one also
I have had my Diesel 2017 F250 Platinum for around 2 months & LOVE it!!! Sure, the handles sometimes don’t work, but I think they are fairly well designed. I added the Ford Accessory Parts to add App Remote Start - I can give anyone the Part #’s if they want to add the App Remote Start (~$700). The fit and finish of Ford made me switch from a GMC 1500. Directly comparing Ford to GMC... Ford has: 360 Camera, Twin Panel Moonroof, Touch Unlock Doors, Adaptive Cruise Control, No Key Start, Two Click Tailgate Drop, Aluminum Body, Heated Rear Seats, Fold Down Side Steps, Rain Sensing Wipers, Massaging Seats, BLIS, Inflatable Rear Seatbelts, Trailer Memory, Trailer TPMS... Most if not all of those are NOT available on GMC.
Ive gotten used to the Double Beep thing. They want you to have a Dealer find the trucks if they are far away. My dealership found the PERFECT truck down near Philadelphia and I live in Rochester, NY. They managed to get it brought up 300 miles for the same price it was listed on the PA dealer, and I had my Trade-In Price Locked in up here...
One note... Make sure you pay off the TERRIBLE Ford Financing with a Refinanced Loan Check immediately when your first bill comes. You do NOT need to make 1 or 3 payments... There is NO Pre-Payment Fee or Penalty. Thanks!
Great videos! Keep them coming. Thinking about getting a Plow for my Beast!
Nice video Brian
I had a 17 lariat and can't agree with you on the handle. When your natural movement to open the door is to pull on the handle so your fingers should always meet the sensor at the back assuming you keep your thumb clear of the front sensor which is the lock function. Works fine for me especially when my hands are so full I can only get a few fingers behind the door handle. I regret not getting a Lariat for my 19 for that feature and many other features but it just wasn't worth it in the overall cost and packages I would have to pay for just to get a few select features I wanted.
Edit: my mirrors on a 2019 fold in without any power to the truck. Had to use the keyless entry and when I did I experimented with the mirror button, can confirm they work when there is no key in the ignition. ( May only work without push start?)
Gm uses simular holes in there trailer hitch, may have something to do with strength but it's very hard to get any hooks around them.
You can buy a house in some areas less than you can buy a 3/4 or one ton truck. Personally I like the Keyfob I can hit the correct button with gloves on.

Hey Brian thanks for making this videos ! Just wanted to suggest that you consider making a video that talks about things that can legally be done to improve fuel economy. Most folks go delete and put emphasis on big hp/torque numbers but those of us that either use our trucks every day and average 2000+ miles a month could use help on this department. Thinks like water/meth injection, stealth module and even DPF on tuning. Maybe you could make a video series on this topic alone. I hope you consider my idea.
Sure pal. I don't do much as that's a little advanced for me but maybe one day.
Look up hammerlock couplings for the safety chain hook-up.
Why didn't you buy the STX trim instead of the Lariat? Its a better buy because it is between the XL and XLT trim level. My vehicle is a 2017 Chevy Malibu 1LT with a 1.5L turbo engine and it has that annoying "double honk" when I start the vehicle to warm it up and go back inside the house.
To help solve your tow chain issue put a screw pin shackle in the receiver cut outs and hook your chain to the shackles instead. Much easier
Just brought home my new 2017 F250. However, it's a much different truck then yours so I don't share many of the issues. Regular cab, XL FX4 STX with power equipment group. So it being a truck that's meant to work doesn't have many of the options that bug you. The one gripe that I have with super duties while I was shopping, why don't they all come standard with brake controller and upfitter switches. This truck has everything I wanted except the upfitter switches and they are expensive to add on the new trucks, it was less then 100.00 to add them on the previous generation.
The ebling rear hitch will cure your safety chain holes. ;)
Yep I agree. Haha amen to that
Companies in the area where you can showcase their trucks and discuss why they love it or hate it!!
Back in my day they were 6k brand new top of the line. 1977
I kind of like the suicide doors on pickups. My 09 Chevy has them and I like how they will fold out 170 degrees to make the back half of the cab fully accessible. The one thing I do like about quad cabs though is how they're safer in an accident. GM or Ford it doesn't matter the suicide doors cabs crumble like beer cans unlike the quad cabs.
You can turn this function off. In the vehicle settings screen
F250 and comparable RAM and GM 3/4 ton trucks hold their value surprisingly well. But like any vehicle purchase, buying one that's 3-5 years old eliminates the biggest depreciation hit.
Kinda late to the party but you can disable the double-honk with forscan. It’s a free computer program that you use a $20 OBD2 adapter to manipulate settings on your truck. Remove double honk and enable secure idle and you’re golden. Also, did I hear a fast blinker flash? You can change that too.
Thanks pal!
that key fob looks a lot better than my dodge one still. Mine always ALWAYS unlocks and locks the doors in my pocket multiple times whenever im in range with the keys in my pocket.
The horn honking is just letting you know that the truck is still running so you don’t forget to shut it off. Try leaving the door ajar a little bit and see if it changes it?
I get that. But the overwhelming majority of folks do NOT like that works this way, regardless of what some engineer believes in terms of it adding more "safety" or whatever, lol. Everyone dislikes this feature, that I've heard talk about it. Way to go Ford!
Hey Brian, just found your channel, great content man. Buddy let me tell ya, we're on the same page with #9. I'm picking up my '19 250 Lariat in Manassas VA this weekend. We live in WAY upstate NY, and there isn't anything around us. A few mom and pop dealers, but that's about it. I was able to find one online thanks to a few car selling search sites ( you know what I mean) and do the deal on the phone, but what a PIA. I don't mind traveling for the truck I want, but the best the dealer can do is 250 miles away. Manassas is like 550. Ford really should make it easier to search the inventory.
Oh yeah man I feel ya!
The button on the door handle is to lock the truck. The intention is to grab the handle and wrap your thumb around it. Also unfortunately you cannot disable the double honk without using FORScan. It's pretty easy to use though. I work at a Ford dealership within 30 mins of you. If you're interested we could meet and I can show you anything you want to know about your truck.
Thanks pal good looking out. I will disable both these in the next week, ha
My 17 lariat mirrors once initiated will continue to fold in or go out even after my ignition is turned off... interesting you say your will stop right in the middle. Also you say you put your mirrors in every time you park, I’m pretty sure there is the setting that will let you have the truck do it every time your ignition is turned off if you want it to. Check the setting out. I don’t do it every time so I don’t use it but I am pretty sure I saw it as an option. But I will say the complaint I most agree with you on is the tow hook issue as I have a large RV and a flat bed car hauler and have tried countless things to fix that issue to no avail. Love all my space in the back seat though and haven’t had any real issue with the door handle and my thumb covering the lock portion of the handle either though. Hope you still love your truck as I know I do, loved my 6.0 as well though 😉
Can you tell me what exact model and platform...and the packages you got....etc etc you got and what the total cost was? And where you bought from? I live in Des Moines Iowa. I'm looking at Ford F250 Lariats right now.
Yep it’s a 2017 F250 Lariat, we paid just under $60k for it.
@@BriansLawnMaintenance what all did you have added to it? I see you have pushed button start I assume?....plow prep....do you have the trailer back up system with all the cameras and the fancy trailer know? Did you get the Lariat Ultimate pkg or whatever that has everything pretty much?
Mine has the death wobble! been back to dealer twice key fob sucks sometimes engage alarm when turning key
The door handles are fine once you get used to them. Keep your fingers off that black "button." Grab the handle like you mean it and they'll unlock. The double honk can be disabled, but you need to get into programming using Forscan. Google "forscan disable double honk". Lots of other things you can tweak in there, too.
Brian - there’s a physical key inside that FAB, that’s why they make it those dimensions.
True
Dude totally agree about the search radius on ford site!!! I live in Vermont!! How many ford dealers do you think I have in a 100 miles radius. 5! How many red 350 diesel trucks. 2! Both xlt’s and I had no time to order. Had to go into dealer to expand search. Still not much luck on a lariat. There was one in North Carolina but had no led lights. If I’m paying 70k plus I better be seeing led headlights. So I took the xlt and regret it daily. Still a good truck but hate the seat covers I had to install to protect cloth and I hate the $700 I had to spend on led bulbs for headlights. Ford needs to step up their game a bit for sure. Especially with the 2020 gmc. Thanks for the vid!!
GM for life my man. 2016 sierra 1500. Best purchase ever.
Cool stuff
The tow chain hook goes through the hole and hooks back on the chain aka “basket”. It places the lotion in the basket and does what it’s told or it gets the hose again.
The hell lol
Ok I also own a 17 f 250 lariat 1) moon roof with snow on it gets a ton of moisture just reach up and touch it and it’s soaked 2) having to buy a reducer for your hitch to accept a regular hitch. 3) radio shuts off when door is opened which pisses me off I have to turn it back on if I’m still sitting in truck when someone else gets out. 4) horn beep when u get out as u stated is so friggin annoying. 5) I love the fact that truck is aluminum but I also plow plow and don’t like back racks or the metal plate that mounts on your third brake so I spent big money to have led lights installed on truck to plow. I have a video on my you tube channel showing the lights go check it out u will like them. 6) rear seats not folding down like my 2013 did it’s such a waste of space I have seen a video of a guy that mods his so he can fold them down but for a $70,000 truck they should fold down. 7) the massive cup holder or compartment on drivers side is annoying 😂😂😂😂😂god your video struck a nerve. Also by the way all the other items u mentioned piss me off too !!!!
Lol. Sorry it was so relatable! Hope Ford see's these comments and can take it as serious feedback from us end users!
All valid points of things that annoy you. It doesn't take long to find things that bother a person when you are pretty much living in it. I bought a 2016 GMC 1500 Max towing new, and with the options I wanted it took a week to get it to me. There was 2 available, one in southern Michigan and one in Indiana. I took the one in Michigan because I liked the silver better than the red. There are several things that annoy me on my truck also.
You said it. We spend a lot of time in these vehicles. The little things get old! But still, happy to have it, as I am sure you are about yours, ha
Absolutely love my over priced all the bells and whistles truck.
Lol
I deleted the double-honk with forscan. It was horrible before.
“I’m not the most technical guy, but I understand quantitative easing...” lol eek
That’s not a technical subject. Lol
Brian's Lawn Maintenance Technically, you maybe right. Lol
I also wish ford offered vinyl seating on more trims than just XL. I am a work truck guy I have had several Ford F-350 xl, and several f450 xl. I don’t like how on the 17+ that fog lights are not even an option where on the 11-16 the oem fog lights could be added. On my current 17 super duty I had to go with a ranch hand full replacement bumper and brush guard which already had the cut outs for the fog lights and add my own fog lights to my truck. Don’t get me wrong I really like a lot of the extra features that you can get just by upgrading from an xl to and XLT........ BUT I hate cloth seats, I’m sweating my but off everyday and getting dirty day in and day out, I like being able to just wipe down the vinyl whenever need be. Leather is nice and luxurious but also requires a lot of maintenance and up keep constantly having to oil the leather and do that stuff to keep it from cracking. Just my opinion, I thought it was foolish to up grade to a XLT just to get fog lights. Also I would really like to have the full center console not because I like the console but because it would be very nice for the rear passengers to have some ac vents also but that is not even offered in an xl. Quad beam headlights are not offered in any trim less that a lariat which I’m my opinion is just a way for them to convince you to get a higher trim package. and let’s not get started with carpet, again this is just my opinion but I really don’t care what trim you are purchasing at the end of the day it is a truck, should any truck really have carpet? After all weather your feet are wet, snowie, muddy, or just dirty why does any truck have carpet? Yes I know that make all weather floor mats and I know they offer a carpet delete option for the XLT and all the way up to platinum but it’s very difficult to find, most super duty’s sitting on the lot all have carpet. Rubber flooring that is standard on an xl I love! I have take a water hose and hose out the floors and then they look like brand new again.
Well why would you buy an xlt only for the console when you want all those other more basic features of the xl. You can still get xl with full power options. Folding middle seat is better than a console anyways.
OMG the safety chain receiver!!!! UGH! I had to buy some extra hooks just to make it work. My 2007 Tundra worked perfect. These hook receivers were so annoying!
The tundra has the best safety chain receiver 👌
The key fob is that big so that the buttons are big enough so that when you are wearing gloves you can easily press the right one
I guess!
@@BriansLawnMaintenance not to mention the spare key is inside of it. The owners manual is your friend.
I have multiple newer Ford vehicles and I hate the horn sounds as well when I exit the vehicle. I try to keep the door open so it won’t do it or put the key in the cup holder. My F-150 lets me fold on the tow mirrors at any time. Power is never cut. So that is weird.
The double honk feature can be shut off. Check out forescan. I did it to my fusion and my bosses f250.
that is the catch you cant delete the moonroof with the quad LEDs . same goes for leather seats, center console, sync3 with the larger screen, and many more
I much prefer the clampshell doors Ford does on their supercabs.
On the double honk you should be able to go to settings on your radio screen and turn it off
Nope not an option. You’d think.
Did you replace your roof clearance lights I see they are smoked!!! Was thinking about Atomic roof lights
Had them custom installed, they're from Recon.
Oh I personally would never by recon crap again bought some lighted emblems from them for my old truck had problems from the start they never took care of it, their warranty is garbage. Hopefully you won’t have a problem like I did. Love your truck and videos. Just bought a 18 F350 Lariat with the LED lights and the moonroof....
All good pal, sorry to hear that. Nice!
unfortunately no i don't have a 2017 , i have a 2014 f150 and wanting to upgrade at one point but looking for either a 250 or 350 , just not sure which one i want of the style either a single rear or dually any comments on that
Do you only use the truck for work or do you also have fun like off roading?
Just work mainly.
I've never seen the sunroof option that couldn't be deleted. It;s all in how the dealership orders it and neither my 2012 nor my 2019 F-250 Lariat Superduty had a sunroof which is how I wanted it.
On a different note for those interested, I have the manual shift on stop and actually like it because it makes the off road experience way more fun, and is more reliable. The knob on the dash only locks the rear differential, and the lever on the floor switches between the 4x4 options. You can drive the entire life of the vehicle with the hubs locked, but I usually lock them by hand (as required) when I get off the highway at my campground or off-road destination, and keep them locked for the duration of the trip.
What kind of fuel mileage are you getting in your 250? Trying to decide between gas and diesel.
Phillip Johnson 14 just the truck, 8-12 with either the plow or trailer.
Phillip Johnson who buys a 250 then worries about gas mileage ?
Well said .. I have a 2017 f350
Yes, the chain hook ups suck trying to hook something up
My first work truck an International hiway tractor was 60k mind you that was back in the early 80s my chev 3/4 4x4 in 1994 was just under 30k with 410 gears ( gas was cheaper ) now for a new Ford 1/2 ton xlt model 301 is 48k ( Canada here )
Can you do a video on all the options on your truck and explain why you got them
Tommy Bianco Sure
Thank you
