Glad to have more pushrod V8s in Ford's lineup
Shew...50k+ for a stripper. Think I'll climb into the DeLorean and head on back to 1985😅
Glad you got this driving video of the current Ford Super duty with a new 6.8 Liter minizilla Gas V8 awesome
$51,000 for a $27,000 truck? The times sure have changed
A brand new $27,000 won't haul 10k lbs gvwr, doesn't come factory with cruise control, tilt wheel, power windows, touch screen radio, 360 backup camera, or a 10 speed auto.
You can still buy very very nice low miles cpo base model f250 single cabs for cheap, and your dealer should search gods creation for one and ship it to their dealership if you pay for it
@79dent lmao, an f-150 can hual 10k no problem
@jeffalbert2016 yeah ik, I hauled 44k with one and if yt allowed pics in comments I'd show you my 08 f150 hauling a 44k mobile home 😂
I still have the invoice from the original owner in my glove box. My 2012 F350 XL crew cab was $29k. I know inflation has not hit over 100% so that price is rediculous.
2019 37k
Is this guy serious ??? This is just a equipment hauler ? A gas meter readers truck ? Hahaha 405 hp, 10 spd trans and probably 4.10 rear end ... this thing would pull a house ! He must have not been alive to see what we did in the 90s with 80s trucks .... 3/4 ton ,200 horsepower, with 4 gears
Nothing against the capability of the truck! Our customers generally go XLT and higher for their work trucks, so it’s more of a comfort difference. This truck will probably “out work” most of our customer trucks ten fold during its lifetime.
My thought exactly! But you can't get 4.10 anymore. You've got 3.31, 3.55, 3.73 and 4.30! I'm hard on ordering a 24 6.8 single cab with 4.30's because you can fit 37's on these trucks with just a 1.5"/2" leveling kit!
@@79dent that's actually pretty cool ...37 in tires with a leveling kit .. I just remember all the 1970s chevy trucks ( and ford-dodge) we kinda ruined tbh to fit 38 in super swampers , dick cepeks, ect ect .... good times
@@papimiami1938I really enjoy my 85 1 1/4 ton M-1028 radio station carrier with factory 4:56 gears with Detroit lockers and 21 mpg but thats due to a Maximum speed of 55 mph with a 6.2 Detroit designed to still run after being hit with a EMP somethings wasn't to bad in the 80s.
@@darinmiller2405 that is an amazing rig you have there .
I have a f250 with the 6.8 I tow a 5th wheel camper that is about 12000 pounds and I love it
What gear ratio
Why is the 6.8 not available in XLT and above packages, I don’t need a 7.3 . I ❤️ my 2019 6.2 Lariat, and get much better fuel economy.
If they have high enough demand they’ll make it happen! It’s all about money in the end
@@markevanado9463 I saw a video from another CZcams channel stating that in the future when the supply catches up you'll be able to order a 6.8L in any trim level.
The XL has enough options most people would ever NEED and then some like telescoping wheel, cruise control, Bluetooth touch screen, led headlights, Yada Yada Yada and power windows. That used to be a loaded out car back in 2010 and everybody was fine with it. Now all of a sudden everybody has to have 22 position rear bucket seats in their crew cab with heated and cooled abilities and a 5 way massage function. Kinda ridiculous imo.
Damn it sounds very good.
Lets red line a brand new engine !
It will be interesting to see if it’s as reliable as the old 6.2, or if it gets any better mileage.
Time will tell! So far we’ve been impressed!
Ford is not good with new engines. The 6.2 was a good engine.
Is it bad that I like the sound of the 6.8 v8 over the 7.3 Godzilla?
Sure wish they'd make it an option in the F-150
I'm sure it'd be light yrs ahead of my 08 F350 4x4 CCLB with 4.10 rear end with the little 5.4 . Don't get me wrong my truck has done what I've needed done just not setting any records doing it😅 I've got about 187k on the clock looking at possible upgrade within the next couple yrs I've been interested in both of ford's new gas power plants
Sounds like it’s been a great truck!
6.2 is such a good engine, hard to beat it.
wow really yes I think I paid to much for mine but with that said I have a 2021 7.3 f350 4 door 4x4 paid 53 this is crazy
Thats crazy I paid 46k out the door for my 2019 f250 stx super cab long box with a snowplow and the upgraded tow package
Did ford stop making the 6.8L pushrod v8 not able to found online.
What is the fuel economy? Or is it too bad to show us? What you had on the dash..???
It’s bad. It’s a 350 with a V8. No one is buying this truck to save gas.
@@Wired4FlightNot as terrible as you'd imagine. We get 16mpg at 75 on flat highway with an STX 6.8L crew FX4.
My dad had a crew with the 6.8 4x4 leveled on 35s and got 16 at 65. Mt buddy had a ext cab long bed 4x4 all stock he's getting 19 empty, both were 250's
5004lbs of payload now that a real truck what is the GVWR on that thing?
About 10k or thereabouts, the payload decreases as the size of the body increases. You can get the high cap. Axle upgrade but you have to get one of the 6.7's, you can get a 10k< gvwr package for any f250.
That guy is wrong about the stuff this truck can handle. He said it's only good for 3 passengers and bed loaded down. My 350 can pull a fifth wheel with no sweat
The customer that bought this is using it on a farm daily if I remember correctly, it’ll get plenty of usage of both.
10 4 dude !!
I hope its better, the 6.2 will get a truck down the road, but nothing to write home about
This guy thinks this truck can only tow people or equipment 😂😂😂 this guy didn't live the 90s, 2000s truck era, being weaker and towing a lot more, this should be a towing beast too, of course compiting with gas motors, not todays diesels.
I doubt there is much difference in weight between the 6.8 and 7.3 since the the 6.8 is a de-stroked version of the 7.3. Same engine block, etc. The only real difference is in the stroke of the crankshaft.
The new 6.8 has higher compression than the 7.3 godzilla
@@jeffreyrogers8151 And what does that have to do with the weight of the engine?
Low in torque at 3000 vs 4000 with the 7.3.
@blksn8k the 6.8 engine is 12 lbs lighter then the 7.3, BUT they use different 10 speeds. The 6.8 uses the 10R100 which is also used behind the 5.0 coyote and 3.5 evoboost which makes me hope they are preparing to put it in the F150 lineup. I'd scoop a 2wd 6.8 10 speed f150 in a heartbeat. The 7.3 uses the 10R140. There is a 70 lb difference I believe between the 2 transmissions which would put the margin at 82 lbs. Don't hold me on the transmission weights though. I could be wrong but ik they are different.
Cool truck..
What’s the mpg roughly on this bad boy 6.8
My dad had a 4 door 4x4 6.8 he averaged about 16 on 35's and a leveling kit. Ik a guy with a stock super cab long bed he gets 19 it's also 4x4
@@79dent Thats pretty impressive if its true.
@Legitobs I know the engine in my truck is no where close as strong as new one's but my 85 1 1/4 ton M-1028 radio station carrier gets 21 mpg with a 6.2 diesel with 4:56 gears with a top speed of 60 mph max
Meter reader? Are you fucking kidding me?
I thought the same thing. That being said I do appreciate the video.
Sounds like a CVT. I think they should’ve kept the 6sp trans. 6.2L and 6sp is the ideal combo IMO.
My dad bought his 6.8 10 sp crew cab when it came out and I loved driving it. He traded in for a '24 king ranch with the 6.7 HO. I work for LineX and we have a contract with all the dealerships for truck bed liners, gooseneck hitches, etc. Turns out I sprayed his bedliner, installed his turnover ball gooseneck and 7 way plug lol.
I have a single cab 24 6.8 10 sp on order
The 10 speed shifts smooth like a CVT because people bitch when they have "noticeable" shifts like older automatics. Most of it is a programming thing, certain tunes of the 10 speed are not that way.
You won’t have a ton of capability. You’ll have 2.5 tons of it!
I like my F150 platinum with the 6.2 L motor in it. It runs great. I can tweak it a little bit and get the same horsepower out of it.
F150 6.2s have more hp then this.
This Makes a Great Camper Truck@that Capacity, Think i`m Heading Out When i Retire, Lol in a few.
@@freedomisntfree_44 But 30lb-ft less TQ which is what matters when towing
@@gnd111 it makes 11 lbft more… f150 spec not superduty.
Do these engines have AFM or DOD? 😡
Personally, I think its a shame that Ford punishes people buying an XL model by forcing them to get a 6.8L V8 instead of the 7.3. You want advice? Stop appealing to yuppies that "want a big truck" and start building out legitimate trucks for working people. Make the 7.3L V8 standard with the 10 speed transmission. Keep manual roll down windows, vinyl flooring, and low tech features. Secondly, it is absolutely abhorrent that these trucks have surged to the cost that they have.
Options are king. Get the 7.3 if you want it, but keep it cheaper by offering the 6.8 for everyone else. This keeps base cost down, not everyone needs the 7.3l. Geez it's just what auto manufacturers have been doing since the 40s
The trucks haven't surged in cost, the dollar has halved in value
50k for a barebones regular cab truck....
just wait, 30-40,000 miles and cam/lifter issues rears its ugly head, basically a de-stroked 7.3
well that's longer then most new vehicles last these days lol ...
These don't really have cam and lifter issues that I recall, they fixed that on the 7.3, the 6.8 isn't really a new motor
