So basically you went to your favorite truck accessory site and said...one of everything please. Lol
Seriously though, beautiful truck and setup brother!
Thank you sir. You also. Great looking setup.
Congratulations for owning your F450 King Ranch Ultimate Edition for One year, Big Truck Big Rv!
And the Ruby Red color looks gorgeous.
This is actually the truck once given to Chuck Norris when he was a toddler.
Awesome.
The curb weight of ur truck is more than the towing capacity of my ram 1500 😂 that thing is massive
A year already?! Man, time sure flies!!
please don't tell my truck, but I have a secrete crush on your truck
Finally...someone honest about MPG they get with their diesel truck.
People all the time say they get somewhere in the 20’s all the time. I don’t know why they always lie about it.
I’ve got a guy at work that says his 17 GMC 2500 CCSB 4x4 gets 23 mpg empty and 17 towing his 7500 pound camper. I said BS and he just looked at me. He also claims his truck is rated to tow almost 23k lbs. 🤦♂️
That truck is simply phenomenal. You’ve done an excellent job upgrading it.
Excellent video, as always. You are definitely making it easy for me to decide on which truck to upgrade to from my 2008 F-250. We will be purchasing a 5th wheel and also using the Reese Goose Box based on your other videos. Keep up the great work!!
Fantastic review and much anticipated...
great summary to include the fuel economy.
I think you should take all the chrome to include your grill (minus the wheels) and color match awesome.
Very well rounded rig
Just picked up a 2017 King Ranch F450, 4wd, diesel. I went from a 2011 F350 KR, 4wd diesel to this. Love the F450 turning radius, payload, features, sunroof, and ride. I know, I know, I like a truck to ride like a truck. Mine is Ruby Red/ Leather Brown. What a beautiful color the red is. I'd like to thank you for all the info and looking forward to more.
Lol starbucks drivethru. It fits! Keep up the good work on these videos 👍🏽
Absolutely awesome looking F450!!
Dana M300. 300 is the size of the ring gear. 300mm = 11.81". Smaller M275 is just a bit larger
(10.82") than Ford Sterling 10.5"
It's a shame the seats don't work correctly, but I'm with you; I think it's a novelty feature more than anything else. Glad things have worked out for you with the truck.
I've always liked you're F-450 since the very first video you posted when you purchased it, you made an excellent choice a year ago.
Damm that's nice bro..very impressed
I have a 2014 F450 and love it. Don't have all your mods but do have a few.
Beautiful truck
Very well done - RWF
I love the video. I am a current Ford owner. I love my 2008 Ford Ranger but am looking at getting an F-450 Platinum at some point. It's good to hear that the F-450s MPG is not as bad as I thought.
Thanks for sharing. Love ya truck. Like to do this with a 2019 Ford F450. may not put as many accessories like you did, but ya never know. Appreciate all ya video's . Lot's of info.
Very nice pickup bud 👍 I got a 2018 3500 cummins dually Harvest Edition my self and love it 😎
Well Big (I call you by first name), makes my 2015 Platinum F150 4x4 OffRoad look puny. But I want smaller trailer, not bigger. Mine will easily tow any travel trailer I want, rated at 10,300 pounds towing. In 3 years with mine, combined mpg is ... 19.7!! That includes towing about 3,000 miles. I have 3.5 Ecoboost, love it.
Nice video, you're truck is a "Beast" but I'd take it and wait for the seat repair.
I really like the bumper paint match it looks damn good
Thank you.
Hello brother,
I’m sorry for what happened to your family down in Florida and God be with them inshallah 🙏
Enjoy your truck and I hope you have amazing day.
Thank you friend.
Thank you for all the information. Just what I wanted to know. You are awesome. Love your channal.
Thanks for sharing this great video
I have the same problems with my massaging seats 2017 f450 platinum
Glad your 450 has been good to own. My 2017 f350 dually wheels have been a nightmare. Valve stem issues and cracked aluminum wheels.
Damn! 16mpg that kicks ass!!
Love all the advantages of the 450 that you highlighted, except for *the killer* payload! You've been our patron saint in our quest for a mobile office that started with the idea of a 5th wheel and is now going to be a big truck camper. A Host Mammoth camper will run 6k fully loaded. the 450 payload is just not enough. We are downsizing to either a 350 or up to a 550 flat bed. Your mileage and comfort comments have us leaning to the 350 and maybe taking it easy with the speed. .... but it's just like us to then want to tow something BIG!
love your ride, I have a 18 ,350 KR , WISHING I'D gotten the KR OR LIMITED 450, I DO LOVE MY 350 , BUT IT DOES TAKE MORE TO TURN IT , AND when I'm backing the wagon ...I see that Marc on KYD, LIKES his 450 too...
thanks for your info videos..
I just went through a tank on a 24v cummins. 19 mpg. And a third of the tank was towing about 8500lbs. That's with a 4.10 rear end and a dually. It's also 350 and 780 wheel hp and tq. I wish these newer trucks had a little less power if that means they could get better mpg.
Awesome truck. 👍🏻
Cool!
nice truck
Your truck is awesome...I love the red, wouldve picked that color myself but its hard to get an XL in anything but white, and my budget limit was reached with all the other options I got...maybe next time!
I drive a ram 2500 because I prefer a cummins, but I think you have the best looking truck on CZcams. I'm not brand loyal, so I would definitely own one of these if it were in my budget.
As always very informative video. Thanks
Agreed, Cummins just go and go.But I'm considering a new Ford Superduty 6.7 diesel. My 04 Ram 2500 has served me well..
Wait you live in Corpus Christi nice I new I recognize the streets
This truck is too beautiful.
Dont scratch it,might have to get a 19 or 20
The only thing I would recommend is some Ford rear wheel well liners, they will really save the paint and it has the exact same wheel well as the Single rear wheel 350
Oooh, pretty! 👍🏼
@Big Truck Big RV it's a nice truck. i would never need anything that big in my life because i maybe pull my 4 foot by 8 foot with 4 foot walls trailer maybe once a month or so, so i wouldn't need anything that big but i would still be happy having it .
I had the same problem with my 2017 F350 Platinum passenger seat massage. It was the wiring harness on that seat. One of the pins was push back in harness plug, Ford replace harness.
Your mileage numbers are better than I get on my 2018 f150 with the 3.3 base engine
Just curious, but have you seen the regular cab F-450 Ford is producing for 2019? We've ran a few of the down the line the past few weeks.
Excellent video, thank you! Quick question, 9150 curb weight, does that include your aftermarket bumpers, lights, tool box etc. I am looking at f450, I want to be sure it can be legal GVWR with my camper (3600), enclosed trailer and race car (10,000) and my co-pilot. Thank again,
I just recently bought an F450 STX, CC, 6.7. Have you had any vibration issues around/over 70MPH. I have a vibration at 70 and over, and then sometimes I don't. I have taken it back to check the wheels/tires but they said they are in balance. Also do you plan on doing any engine mods? I recently came accross the new AFE Momentum air charger. Thoughts?
I’m interested in upgrading my current 2016 f350 Single Cab to a new either 2018 or the upcoming 2020 F350, do you think the newer model will be worth the extra price tag compared to a 2017/18?
So if you puta gooseneck hitch adapter on you fifth wheel pin box can you tow the 31,000 or whatever it was
The F450, in case you need to move a house,lol. Badass truck man love it.
What's your thoughts on the solid frame under your F450 after a year of riding and towing, compared to the C channel frame of your 2016.
Quick question for you: Have you dealt with death wobble? My 350 4x4 xlt is 9 months old and I got a dose on the freeway this past Saturday, at 10,000 miles on 2018 f350 4x4 at standard freeway speed. Dealer said it needed alignment shims, and that it came from the factory badly aligned. My truck still tracks relatively true, and until now has ran like a dream... I'm waiting for the shims to arrive, and need to ask dealer if this repair is under warranty. It definitely should be! Would have any insight on the death wobble phenomenon? Thanks for any advice you can provide!
Great vids very informative!! I’m looking for a f450 and have test driven 4 used 17’s varying in mileage. Each one has had some kind of front end issue,shakes,wobbles,advance trac problems causing the wheel to vibrate excessively. Have you had any front end troubles?
With your tool box in the bed, that cuts out 1-2 feet of bed length. Can you still make a 90° turn when parking your 5th wheel?
1 year already holy smokes nice ute you have tho.
aside from being able to control the level, how do the airbags compare with the timbrens you used to have?
Whenever you looking to sell let us know! Love the channel, i really want a rig like this!
What kind of mileage? Man that's a beauty. Can't say I'm not jealous
100% Texan!! (stereo typing Texas trucks) (from Canada...LOL) Very nice build!!
A relative of mine has one. I think the man routinely hit close to 70,000 lbs. He would tow poultry trailers. I don't know how he managed to make it out with out issues for 4 years. That truck was never turned off. Maybe cause it was a Disel turbo. He had reinforced for a gooseneck but still. I'm certain 100% he was nearly doubling the recommended the weight at times.
My F250 was recently stolen the other day from our driveway. You mentioned an alarm system. What would you recommend for my future truck? Thanks
Do you have any recommendations where I can buy an 19.5 for my F350 2008
You mentioned an alarm system in your video but I don't see a link to what you have. If you are happy with the alarm you have would you share more about it? Thanks
OMG! I find myself analyzing every pickup truck to see what they are. I see a Ford, and I am like okay which one is that one, and I am starting to be able to recognize a little better. I have decided that the F450 is what I want to pull my 5th wheel when I get it. I plan to be full time and I will be a solo female and want to have a really stable pulling situation. I would rather have overkill than underkill or meet requirements. Well that and I grew up with trucks and I have missed driving a powerful truck for a long time. Love the air horns too! Oh I should say, I am a total car fanatic type of girl, so you know I am going to be making it really cool!
What mpg are your seeing on the freeway, and at what speed are you getting this mpg?
I have the same exact truck as you and I get average 12 mpg not towing and 8 mpg towing? What did you change with your engine? or do you use fuel additives?
You mentioned a "significantly upgraded alarm system" would you elaborate? Maybe a review of it or something comparable? I have a New Ram 3500 and want an alarm system but know nothing about them. Respectfully,
dj
BTW the FX4 does not mean it's 4x4 it means it has skid plates and Rancho shocks. Nice truck though.
Which VIAIR model do you have? Is it sufficient, or would you go bigger?
How do you like the winch??? Do you get many (any) opportunities to use it? I'm replacing my bumpers, and go with something that will take a winch.
I don't use it often, but I have used is several times. I consider it like a fire extinguisher
I’ve got a second gen 6.7, 3.73 gears F350 Dually, deleted, a programmer, don’t even do the 75mph speed limit trying to conserve fuel and don’t get that kind of mileage. Let me know when your done with that one.
BTBR
I have enjoyed the reviews and mods to your truck that truck as you have it set up is a perfect pull truck for any kind of trailer...Do you think you could review a ram4500 setup Similar. Do you know if the 4500 ram turns better than a ram 3500
How well does the 6.7 liter power stroke run. I would like to know incase i ever trade my 2000 ford f250 7.3 power stroke turbo diesel. Thanks
Nice Truck ...I have the same one question what is the model number on that access bed cover. is it still 61409 for your F 450
Do you have a video of your toolbox and tonneau cover install? How did you seal the toolbox to bed and tonneau cover for waterproofing?
So how did you seal the gap between the front of the bed to the front of the box?
You said your old Bedrug shedded? I'm guessing the access truck liner is preferred?
Do you have a small table of RPM to MPH? Like at 60 mph what is rpm? At 70 mph what is rpm? I like to know those numbers to pick what rpm is best fuel economy? Do you know that? The new 2020 truck still has 430 gears but now has a 10 speed transmission! How will fuel economy be?
Lots of upgrades for the truck...if you don't mind telling...do you work with this truck or the mods were just for your 5th wheel?
Have you done any winching with it yet? I love warn and factor 55
Your truck gives mine hope for better fuel economy. The lie-o-meter is indeed way off. As far as the ride is concerned, not sure if you meant as compared to the same generation F250/350... but I can tell you that compared to the 2015 F350 dually, this thing rides incredibly. One of the biggest differences in MPG between your towing and mine - even though it's an identical truck and almost identical size/weight 5th wheel; is the fact that I tow in a much more mountainous area... anywhere I go outside of the Phoenix area is gonna hit 8000ft altitude pretty quick. still I averaged 9mpg for the first tow with the truck still being under 4k miles... hopefully that'll go back to where the 2015 F350 was - 11ish
So how comfortable would you be towing a fifth wheel trailer with a pin weight of 4000lb and total gross weight of 24000 lbs?
4,850lb.payload and 4,500lb. bed or reserve capacity for camper. So it allows 350lbs. of cab capacity, just 2 people. That's how it works? Can you elaborate?
....Biggest Dually!!!!! which most definitely the answer is yeah it is the biggest truck ever made. Buddy of mine has the limited (F450) and he's 6'11 giant 22/23 years old like myself and he drives that big huge thing around.
Thanks very much for the info. I'm currently looking seriously at an F450 purchase, just trying to get past the cost... what the heck it's only numbers, right! ;)
Don't forget the Sulastic shakles you put on the back to mellow out the ride. Unless you removed them. :D
I have the 2017 F350 dually 4x4 XLT with the 410 rear. I tow a 6000lb sliding axle trailer with loads up to 15,000lbs. Average 20,000lbs towing. It's been great at towing that weight with ease up and downhills of New England. I have 30,000miles on it so far in one year ownership, no issues, regular towing maintenance. Average 8mpg towing. Great vehicle so far just needs 6 tires, at least their not 19.5...
Nicholas Oliveira Nicholas I live here in NH and I'm looking for a 450 maybe a 350 where did you buy your truck just curious who gave you the best deal.
@@drayhazel Rodman Ford, paid $42500 XLT extented cab with navigation 4x4. Good luck..
Corpus Christi!!
Your locale looks beautiful, where do you drive Buddy? I love all the openness of the rural area. I tend to see alot of our farm land going way of developments and it saddens me how the farms are rare nothing quite like seeing cows, horses, goats, sheep, and other farm critters lol. Where you are looks like you still have some farms. Lol hope you're well.
I would like to ask a question. I am considering an f450. I cringe at the thought of it sitting outside in the weather day in and day out. It would not be a daily driver. Question: Can a stock f450 fit through a standard 7x9 residential garage door? Garage is plenty deep enough. But has anyone tried it and do you have pictures (or better yet a video)? Thanks.
I got my eye on a 16 f450 platinum edition.
I put only 3,500 miles on my 2005 f150 since January. I cant imagine putting 10,000 to 12,000 miles, or more, on a vehicle every year. Maybe I just have the luxary of not having to drive so much or I dont enjoy as much as yourself or others do!
All I can say is check, check, check your sunroof. Mine popped and leaked...ford replaced the interior roof and carpeting.
Side note: update your sync 3 and you can run Waze as your nav...
Thanks for the great videos and content you put out. Really enjoy!!!
Question
I have owned many Ford and GM HD trucks. Always liked the GM HDs better due to a better drive, liked the interiors better, transmission and far better front suspensions. We had far less trouble with The GM than the Fords.
We maintained our fleet very very well. But with the Fords, we had constant transmission/converter problems and front end ate tires like candy forcing us to realign and rotate all the time.
Have you had those issues as well or heard of?
I ask because I will be buying a duality this year to pull a fifth wheel. So looking at the 3 Amigos to decide which one.
Damn son How much money did you put in it. It a beautiful truck. What do you tow with it.
You in Corpus. If so I wish I had known. I was down last week. Great videos. What are you’re thought on the newer truck choices? 2020’s & 2021’s. I’ve heard some issue with the CP4 system and the 10 speed trannies. I’m seriously looking at the F450. Not sure about the newer truck and their prices. Or buy one a couple of years older. I’d appreciate any info on them or even the 3500, 4500,5500 Dodges.
Question what alarm do you have on ur truck
