That’s a beautiful truck. But man, with today’s truck prices a rig setup nice like this being $120k hurts. Even without any upgrades $80k for a lariat is painful to think about. I’ve got 2x 2019 super crew 4x4 f150’s. While I could afford this truck I don’t think I could stomach dumping that into a daily driver unless I made my living from the truck where I could use it as a business expense for tax purposes.
@@maxracingteam23 exactly. You did good getting your stx for that. In my opinion STX 4x4 is the best bang for your buck. They look great and have everything you need for not much more than a basic XL.
Geeez, some of the comments on here...-5 isn't cold try -15 that's a real cold test...-30 is a real cold test...-40 is a real cold test. Good grief, get over yourselves.
I live in Castle Rock with a 19 F350 Dually lifted on 37x12.50x22 Yokohama X-AT's and I routinely drive 70 West. It's always done great in the snow ❄️. I pulled a few folks out this last storm we had. Now I do keep my 911 treatment in my cab for negative temps but other than that it's rock solid.
So what's the actual ON-HIGHWAY and OFF-ROAD GRIP-specific differences between the older KO2's and the newest KO3's? What advantages do the newest KO3 versions have over the KO2's and what's the price difference? V
I use my auto four wheel button every winter in my Silverado. I live in Colorado and used it yesterday. I had a Tacoma and hated having to use 4 High or 2 wheel in snow having automatic all-wheel button and a G80 automatic locker is an underrated game changer.
Not sure why 4wd auto is not standard (at least on mid-upper trims) on all modern 4wd trucks. Not only is it a Godsend in snowy/icy conditions but here in SE Texas it adds a level of safety during heavy thunderstorms and ponding roadways. I've had it in my old F150 Platinum 4x4 and now in my Sierra 1500 AT4.
OK Guys, the “beast” did well in that skiff of snow that’s on the ground. But it would be interesting to see how it performs where the snow is deep enough so you can’t spin it down to bare dirt.
I tend to agree. There are pros and cons to all systems though I think I would have appreciated 4Auto this past weekend. I think I shifted into and out of 4wd about 5-6 times just running around town due to the varying conditions just in a few mile radius.
@The Fast Lane Truck. Please note that GM Auto-4x4 and All Wheel Drive (AWD) are mechanically two different drivetrain definitions. GM pickups have Auto-4x4; not AWD. All wheel drive differentials are designed for fulltime use in all road conditions. Auto-4x4 is intended only for conditions where road conditions/traction is variable. Auto 4x4 essentially leaves the front axle engaged and then engages/disengages the front 4x4 hubs when the rear axle breaks traction. It is effectively in 4hi while the hubs are engaged. It is not intended, and there is no point nor traction-benefit, to leaving it in Auto 4x4 on pavement in dry conditions. Since the axle is still engaged, it also reduces gas mileage and increased wear and tear. Unlike AWD, Auto-4x4 is intended for occasional use in variable road conditions. Auto 4x4 and AWD are two different drivetrains and are mechanically different and the terms are not interchangeable. Thanks.
I’ve had a discussion with another commenter on a previous video but from all I’ve found at least from GM’s systems is that 4Auto is fine to use all the time. Of course it does engage the front axle so those components will spin and technically wear but aside from that and reduced fuel economy GM says no damage will be incurred from using it.
The Liquid Springs don't change ground clearance - the limiting factor is the pumpkins on the solid axles. The 37s certainly help ground clearance, and the Liquid Springs help with breakover angle and water fording
@@tallll70 when you say “ground clearance” it is not, unless the chassis is the lowest point on the vehicle. I was responding to their comments during the video about changing the ride height to increase “ground clearance,” which ride height does not influence. Yes, increasing ride height does increase break over angle, water fording, and, to your point, chassis clearance, but NOT ground clearance. Only increasing tire diameter will do that on a vehicle with solid axles, if the front and/or rear differentials are the lowest point to the ground, as they often are.
@@DIYadventureMarkThey rub a little bit on factory wheels but not much. You might have room without a level, but I’m running a 2.5” level so I’m not sure how they’d be without.
-15 deg F and below is a true test for a cold start. Excellent batteries, all working glow plugs or a heater grid plate, sound engine with good compression, clean fuel with anti-gel and clean fuel filters, the engine will start. It’s all about the pre winter maintenance!! Just saying.
I recently had the 4 corner 5 link LiquidSpring suspension system installed on my 26,000 lb motorhome, (Ford F53 Gas Chassis), at the LiquidSpring HQ and manufacturing facility in Lafayette IN. By far the best money that I have spent on this coach. Going from driving a 26,000 lb box to now driving a large SUV.
In the Boulder, Colorado area where TFL tends to do their testing, the daytime temperature is -2 Fahrenheit or -18 Celcius and nighttime drops down to -13 F or -25 Celcius. A few days ago in mid-January, in northern Alberta, Canada (i.e. north of Edmonton!) where I do specialty technical computer and vehicle testing it got down to -55 C or -67 F during the DAYTIME so I can tell you that the Northern U.S. States and much of Canada is DEFINITELY FREEZING COLD in winter and beats ALL cars and trucks into pulp when starting and driving! This F350 is definitely one of my dream vehicles but I'm putting 42 inch Mickey Thompson M/T tires on it which will give me at least a full 14+ inches of ground clearance below the transmission case bulb and then adding a custom suspension that is magneto-ride capable that can lift the truck even more for more mid-truck breakover clearance. I'm also adding a 50 gallon (189 litre) in-bed fuel tank on my personal vehicle so I get more driving range when towing. Our in-house F150 Lightning has been GREAT for driving in urban and suburban environments even in the winter cold and it has been FANTASTIC down to the -5 C to -15 Celcius of northern west coast winter nights BUT I definitely personally want an F350 with Single back wheels or the F450 Dually Superduty in my garage! I should also note as a tech-update that our parent Aerospace company's Aluminum-Sulfur battery test bed all-EV F450 Dually truck has been DOING GREAT in the -30 C and lower temps of Alberta so it looks like EV Superduty/HD trucks are coming sooner than you think! We STILL get 1600 miles (2575 KM) on a single charge! (i.e. 8x energy density of Li-Ion per litre of volume!) so we can now tell you that Aluminum-Sulfur batteries plus Sheet Graphene and Boron Nitride Nanotube-based Supercapacitors have NO ISSUE with the deep cold of Northern Canadian winters even down to -50 C. There is NO REDUCTION IN RANGE even while towing full loads! Tires and road conditions are the only issues when using these types of new EV technologies! This means that long-driving-range ALL-EV HD/Superduty trucks may arrive in the retail channel as soon as 2026! V
Chevy has the push button to engage Auto 4 Wheel Drive, only kicks in when it needs it. I had bought a lot of new Chevy's then switched to buying Fords in 2008, I was told if you wanted the Auto 4 Wheel like Chevy has that you have to buy the Trucks above the Lariat line. I haven't bought any of the King Ranch, Platinum or Limited lines. This was all in the F-150 Trucks, not sure it is or was any different in the Super Duty's.
The secret to Andrey's warm is all in that hat. Also, I bet that cold weather has given Andrey a hankering for some ice cream (Russians famously love to eat ice cream during the winter).
I’m not a fan of the new Headlight design the 22s look a lot better in my opinion. Also, it’s too bad the lariat now comes with the cheaper reflector LED headlights instead of the nice projector headlights
A couple reasons ford and ram don’t use 4auto, 1 is for strength, the clutches used in GM auto set ups aren’t as strong as a completely mechanical locked transfer case. Another reason is on the solid front axles they use universal joints on the steering knuckles, in an auto setting you want CV joints. The universals when steered hard get a speed differential while they rotate and your front tires shake bad. If you look at jeep wranglers or gladiators you can tell which ones have the 4auto transfer case as they have cv joints on the front axle whereas the normal 2/4 lock transfer cases have universal joints.
Fun fact when ford did the latest face lift they changed the shape and location of the air inlet pipes. Very cold climates that have light and dust like snow will pack up the air intake and smoke the turbocharger. Basically all new vehicles are total garbage in general ford is no different despite the asking price.
Зря вы думаете что не увидите ни одного в Москве. У нас и RAM и F-250 и F-350 в тюнинге хватает. You shouldn't think that you won't see any in Moscow. We have enough RAM, F-250 and F-350 in tuning
As always another great video coming from the best Car/truck review channel. Too bad Ford doesn't have the auto 4X4 feature on the super duties. It was on my Expedition & it does come in handy.
The payload has been decreased due to all the add ons done. Payload is for the frame rating. Payload also includes driver and passengers. So you take off a 50 lb bumper and put on a 200 lb bumper your payload is permanently decreased by 150 lbs. payload numbers are safe and probably way under rated for the vehicle. The axle ratings are usually way above payload rating.
That’s incorrect, a SRW and DRW 350 have the same frame yet the DRW will have roughly 2k more payload. Same frame, different rear axle, and, the real limiting factor, two more tires.
Doing a cold start in a truck with fresh tire tracks despite the fact it's snowing? Do they know what a cold start is? "Full disclosure, we drove it here." -yeah exactly
I want to see TFL create a real cold start procedure. When Colorado is going to experience their coldest temperatures then park some vehicles outside overnight. In the morning try to start them. You can either plug in the block heater or not to see how reliable they are in cold weather. How long does it take before the vehicle blows hot air from the vents? How long does it take before the screens are warm enough to start working? If you need to warm your vehicle up for 20 minutes in the winter before you can drive it then how much extra is that going to cost you in fuel? I have seen co-workers use remote starters to start their vehicles every coffee break and lunch break so their vehicles would start at the end of the day. If a vehicle performs great in a warm climate it doesn't mean it will be reliable in the winter.
What dreams are made of right here! Doesn't the TRX have and AWD system...I know it's just a half ton, but I was watching one go into limp mode on another channel.
I’m glad I’m getting to the age that I don’t need to buy any new trucks. They are nice, but I paid $20,000 for my house…A house that’s worth $160,000 now🤷🏻♂️ My Ram was $54000. I’m going classic my next truck..
These new trucks are nice no doubt. Over and over people are asking for affordable work and daily driver trucks. Maybe those types of trucks don’t actually sell though?
Thats a good point. Gel point for standard fluid is -10F. Any lower and its basically frozen. Bet your butt its a stiff ride in comfort mode right now for them, but it didnt look too bad so maybe the drive there warmed it up.
Here is the truth: I owned a Super Duty 4WD Ford pickup with the 6.7L diesel for years in snow country. It was the WORST vehicle for snow/ice driving that I owned at the time, and I owned 3 other vehicles, 2 of them 4WD and one FWD. Why was it the worst? 1) Unladen, the rear wheels were next to useless to power the truck on ice or snow, even with winter-rated tires. 2) The diesel simply produced TOO MUCH low RPM torque. On slick roads or trails, even in 4WD, the tires would often break traction, even AT IDLE. 3)The only way to cure the traction deficiencies was to heavily load the bed of the truck, with as much weight as possible behind the rear axle. I typically used 400-800 lbs. of tube sand, sometimes more. 4) Cold weather driving for anything other than long trips or where engine idling could be kept at minimum would cause the DPF to quickly fill, often requiring stationary regens, which--fortunately--I had special ordered my pickup with that option (at the time, not available except on XL and XLT trim levels--mine was an XL) to do. One thing in the 6.7's favor. Never did I have any issue starting the engine in cold weather, even as low as -25° F. parked outside without using the block heater. Typically, on subzero (F.) days, I would simply run the block heater (plugged into a timer), for about 4 hours before I would start the truck. I never found it necessary to even leave the block heater running all night. Just how bad was the Super Duty in snow and ice? My Prius with all-season tires would actually perform better on snow and ice as long as the snow was not deep enough to high center the car. I loved my Super Duty for many things, but winter driving was not one of them. PS--the factory BFG All-Terrain TA's that came with the truck were absolute garbage on snow and ice. I replaced them with Cooper S/T Maxx tires, and those did much better, but the truck still was not a great "snow" truck.
I have an F-250 alumaduty. I do not want awd Roman. You guys seem to want these trucks to drive like a Bronco sport. (Clearing throat) No, that's not what these truck should be like.
Your cold start videos are always hilarious because it is now about -12 to -15 degrees Celsius (10 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit) in Edmonton Alberta Canada, and it feels mild. It has been -36 to -45 degrees Celsius (-33 to -49 degrees Fahrenheit) for the past 4 days. My 2016 GMC Canyon 2wd truck was parked on the street, and the block heater wasn't plugged in. It started easily because before winter, I bought a battery hold down bracket from Sasquach Parts. Then, I was able to buy a bigger battery from NAPA with 950 cold cranking amps. When I got to work, the delivery trucks wouldn't start, and I used my 2016 Canyon to jump-start them. I am curious to see if the new 2024 trucks with digital displays that are technology heavy will kill the battery in winter. You guys talk about how off-road capable the Colorado ZR2 is but with all the electronic drain on modern trucks I wonder if it will actually start at -30 to -40 degrees Celsius. The tires on my 2wd Canyon are Toyo Open Country A/T III on the back and Toyo Open Country H/T II on the front. I get wheelspin when starting, but once I get going, they are fine. I use these tires all year and just adjust my driving to the road conditions.
@@FarmerDrew Most people don't think the battery is important. They prefer a cheap battery from Walmart or whatever is on sale. But when I spend $300 on a battery I know it will start no matter how cold it gets. I like NAPA because when the battery takes longer than normal to fully charge it is a sign the battery is wearing out and gives me time to replace it.
@@aerynlovell4754 I usually run Everstart because I have many vehicles and machines and I keep them on tenders but I invested in a NAPA AGM for my dump trailer and it gives me dump loads that other batteries would die doing
If I told you a guy built a car that ran off water in the 70s that could go 6000 miles on 26 gallons of water you would laugh at me like how the elite do to us

I want to see TFL create a real cold start procedure. When Colorado is going to experience their coldest temperatures then park some vehicles outside overnight. In the morning try to start them. You can either plug in the block heater or not to see how reliable they are in cold weather. How long does it take before the vehicle blows hot air from the vents? How long does it take before the screens are warm enough to start working? If you need to warm your vehicle up for 20 minutes in the winter before you can drive it then how much extra is that going to cost you in fuel? I have seen co-workers use remote starters to start their vehicles every coffee break and lunch break so their vehicles would start at the end of the day. If a vehicle performs great in a warm climate it doesn't mean it will be reliable in the winter.
How cold can it get before the hydraulic suspension gets affected?
Andre did you have time to drive it on dry highways before the snow? How are the KO2s on dry roads? Noisy? Quiet? Somewhere in between?
They’re quiet
Love the truck! What finder flares are those?
Hahaha! Andre's got that "built in" Russian heater. I do believe those model heaters run on Vodka!
Excellent episode, Andre and Roman rock!!! 😁
Uh, how does raising the body increase ground clearance? Does it increase the diameter of the tires at the same time?
I think I'm going to get one of these to commute, so I feel like the king of the road eithet
What dreams are made of right here!
Doesn't the TRX have and AWD system...I know it's just a half ton, but I was watching one go into limp mode on another channel.
Roman relax that's 5 degrees warmer 😊
My manual Ram 2500 4x4 is horrendous in the snow especially driving in the city.
beautiful depreciating asset
I’m glad I’m getting to the age that I don’t need to buy any new trucks. They are nice, but I paid $20,000 for my house…A house that’s worth $160,000 now🤷🏻♂️ My Ram was $54000. I’m going classic my next truck..
Only minus 18 celcius it's a normal winter day up here just an hour north of montreal
It needs Pikes Peak testing in these conditions
Cold start?
You can tell when he said you certainly won't see this in Moscow it hurt Andre a bit he let out a quick fake laugh
Subaru outback with blizzak tires says "hold my beer".
These new trucks are nice no doubt. Over and over people are asking for affordable work and daily driver trucks. Maybe those types of trucks don’t actually sell though?
They don’t sell bc manufacturers are making less of them bc they have smaller profit margins than higher trim models.
@TheFastLandTruck The F150 has a few versions that has 4A
I wonder if the suspension hydrologics would freeze up in cold climates.
Thats a good point. Gel point for standard fluid is -10F. Any lower and its basically frozen. Bet your butt its a stiff ride in comfort mode right now for them, but it didnt look too bad so maybe the drive there warmed it up.
Great video fellas
Nice truck
Why wouldn't u guys display height adjustment...
Nice 😮
Try -40F or C doesn’t matter and not plugging in the block heater and you get what everyone else gets a brick 🤣🤣
My dad's 2019 f150 fx4 has the 4a option
How does the ride of that liquid spring suspension compare to a similar, stock GM 3500 SRW truck??
-8?, give me break, do some real cold testing like -30, joke!
Hello from frozen montreal
Best in class power best in class torque bless in class towing best in class towing. Nuff said ya sissies
When is an engine block heater a good idea?
$120K for a pickup truck is still cheaper than a house! Just put a camper on the back and you won't ever have any HOA dues nor property taxes! 😂😂😂
Cheers guys
I want one
Ram may not have it now but my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 has auto.
That's like 200 grand here in canada
Here is the truth: I owned a Super Duty 4WD Ford pickup with the 6.7L diesel for years in snow country. It was the WORST vehicle for snow/ice driving that I owned at the time, and I owned 3 other vehicles, 2 of them 4WD and one FWD. Why was it the worst? 1) Unladen, the rear wheels were next to useless to power the truck on ice or snow, even with winter-rated tires. 2) The diesel simply produced TOO MUCH low RPM torque. On slick roads or trails, even in 4WD, the tires would often break traction, even AT IDLE. 3)The only way to cure the traction deficiencies was to heavily load the bed of the truck, with as much weight as possible behind the rear axle. I typically used 400-800 lbs. of tube sand, sometimes more. 4) Cold weather driving for anything other than long trips or where engine idling could be kept at minimum would cause the DPF to quickly fill, often requiring stationary regens, which--fortunately--I had special ordered my pickup with that option (at the time, not available except on XL and XLT trim levels--mine was an XL) to do. One thing in the 6.7's favor. Never did I have any issue starting the engine in cold weather, even as low as -25° F. parked outside without using the block heater. Typically, on subzero (F.) days, I would simply run the block heater (plugged into a timer), for about 4 hours before I would start the truck. I never found it necessary to even leave the block heater running all night. Just how bad was the Super Duty in snow and ice? My Prius with all-season tires would actually perform better on snow and ice as long as the snow was not deep enough to high center the car. I loved my Super Duty for many things, but winter driving was not one of them. PS--the factory BFG All-Terrain TA's that came with the truck were absolute garbage on snow and ice. I replaced them with Cooper S/T Maxx tires, and those did much better, but the truck still was not a great "snow" truck.
I have an F-250 alumaduty. I do not want awd Roman. You guys seem to want these trucks to drive like a Bronco sport. (Clearing throat) No, that's not what these truck should be like.
Your cold start videos are always hilarious because it is now about -12 to -15 degrees Celsius (10 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit) in Edmonton Alberta Canada, and it feels mild. It has been -36 to -45 degrees Celsius (-33 to -49 degrees Fahrenheit) for the past 4 days. My 2016 GMC Canyon 2wd truck was parked on the street, and the block heater wasn't plugged in. It started easily because before winter, I bought a battery hold down bracket from Sasquach Parts. Then, I was able to buy a bigger battery from NAPA with 950 cold cranking amps. When I got to work, the delivery trucks wouldn't start, and I used my 2016 Canyon to jump-start them. I am curious to see if the new 2024 trucks with digital displays that are technology heavy will kill the battery in winter. You guys talk about how off-road capable the Colorado ZR2 is but with all the electronic drain on modern trucks I wonder if it will actually start at -30 to -40 degrees Celsius. The tires on my 2wd Canyon are Toyo Open Country A/T III on the back and Toyo Open Country H/T II on the front. I get wheelspin when starting, but once I get going, they are fine. I use these tires all year and just adjust my driving to the road conditions.
NAPA KNOW HOW
@@FarmerDrew Most people don't think the battery is important. They prefer a cheap battery from Walmart or whatever is on sale. But when I spend $300 on a battery I know it will start no matter how cold it gets. I like NAPA because when the battery takes longer than normal to fully charge it is a sign the battery is wearing out and gives me time to replace it.
@@aerynlovell4754 I usually run Everstart because I have many vehicles and machines and I keep them on tenders but I invested in a NAPA AGM for my dump trailer and it gives me dump loads that other batteries would die doing
My 19 f350 will start at -37 c with not much trouble .
If the block heater is plugged in, then sure.
iT DEPENDS ON WHO IS DRIVING IN THE SNOW! Seen to many people think they are safe in 4 Wheel and find them in the ditch or in Accidents.! ... 120 USD!
Lmao so funny you mention nome Alaska as I’m watching this in nome
Did you have any anti-gelling additive in the tank?
If I told you a guy built a car that ran off water in the 70s that could go 6000 miles on 26 gallons of water you would laugh at me like how the elite do to us
So is the Ford better than a Tesla.? What’s going on with the silly snow videos of the cyber truck? Can you please do a comparison of a cyber truck beside a Ford F150 in the snow?
Not a true cold start. Fresh tracks in snow it was running recently
spring day in moscow lol
