      I am an owner of the F150 on my 3rd one the last one I had for 20 years and miss it. The F150 even though it can now tow heavier weights it should not be used to do so. I have an F250 6.2 and it out tows my F150 3.5 Ecoboost all day long and is more stable at higher towing speeds. The F150 is just to light to tow in heavy winds and on winding roads and in the mountains. same boat on the F150 and the F250 and I regret getting the F150 even though it can tow 9600 LBS and the F250 can tow 11500 LBS would have gotten the Diesel instead of the gas engine. Just my 2 cents

And I would have liked to know what discounts and incentives they gave him. Such a stupid old school way of thinking. Its not like your giving us your bank statements!

    Bright man. I'm glad to see someone who actually put some thought into his purchase and didn't just flip from a 3 year old model and go under in value on debt. Sounds like he drove that older 99 f250 into the dirt, got every penny out of it, probably maintained it himself and then even when buying new again only paid what he had to for the specific needs he had. Great work! I bought my 2015 f150 brand new as an XLT model and now have it full paid off, but i'm not going to flip it. I'm now going to focus on maintenance and keeping it alive as long as possible while doing some personalizing mods along the way.

    Hey I drove them all too and I bought a Ram 2500 Diesel. I guess I kinda understand what he means by turbo lag but the Cummins is a totally different animal. It doesn't act like the other two. And I didnt buy a diesel to race it. I bought it to tow. And it tows like a freight train baby! And I got 3.73 gears standard. Very happy about that. Im sure he would have liked the 3.73's since he went 3.55's and his only other option was 3.31's. And Im a Ford guy! I was orginally only considering a new F250 until I drove the Ram. Then I was like ok maybe Ill consider another manufacturer. And hey all the little things he complained about not having like the leather stearing wheel and dampened tailgate... all come standard on the Ram Big Horn addition. And no issues with hooking up safety chains. Ram did it right. Rams big horn is their level 2 package just like Fords XLT. O and no matter how much you outfit a truck level 2 package it doesn't come close to a Laramie or Fords Lariat. You jump a fence between a level 2/3 package. I would make the argument that you could outfit a level 3 package (Laramie/Lariat) close to a level 4/5 and you could outfit a level 1 (XL/Tradesman) to be closer too a level 2.

      @OGL iaDL No you don't. The 2500 gets only the 68RFE and the lower rated 6.7, while the 3500 gets either the same 68RFE + 6.7 or the full output 6.7 hooked up to the Aisin for some extra cash. It's been that way since forever. You don't get the Aisin with the 2500 suspension.
      And the 68RFE is just fine if you don't drive like a maniac. It's not there for you to tow, not hoon; that kind of behaviour will wreck a AS69RC before long, no difference. It just won't last forever like the Aisin, but when the time comes eventually to replace the 68RFE, it's got one major advantage over the AS69RC in that you can opt for a built 68RFE instead, which will walk all over any Aisin you can get your hands on.

    in my experience, RAM isn't the best chassis, but with some mods, IT IS. There is NOTHING easy about working on a PowerStroke. Cummins however, is. And Cummins is ALWAYS making improvements to maintenance items to make them better. Ford def. does RIDE BETTER hands down. Ford should have let Cummins put their name on the valve covers back in the 80's and Ford would OWN the truck industry, and everyone else would be selling compact cars instead!!
    Wait.....did I just hear him say they have wobble? LIKE Dodge "death wobble"? wow...... what irony.

The V8 really shines when climbing a grade at 80mph and maintaining speed. The 6 felt like it had more getting up and going power but won’t run a load of cows 80mph up a hill. I like them both!

    60 percent of the comments- much truck, very cool.
    30 percent of the comments- rattling off old stereotypes
    10 percent of the comments- oh he paid $$$

    Turbolag??? Is he racing that thing? I’d much rather have the RAM interior over ford even if it cost me 1/10th of a second in acceleration on a truck!

    Nowadays all 3 make good trucks it’s a matter of preference. But a true diesel is a inline 6 period. he’s referring to the lag it’s because the Cummins on the ram it’s a pulling truck not fast on the get go but boy when your towing with a 5500 dump truck and pulling 20k that inline beats the V8.

    Classic old man truck review. Should make a disclaimer about allowing the purchase price to be a part of the review, people really like to know what real world prices are. It is one of the most important parts of buying a vehicle, cost.

      I agree. Perhaps TFL would consider establishing price disclosure as a ground rule before even making the video. But then again, even though the owner balked at stating the price he paid, many other aspects of the interview were worthwhile, so perhaps that's how TFL weighs it all out when they produce a video.

    Just gotta ask, why don't you use Webasto's in the US? Very handy in cold climates.
