Me upgrading my truck this year from a 1995 to a 2005 and finally getting 4WD!!!!!!! CZcamsrs upgrading their truck be like "Went from a 2019 to a 2020 to a 2023". Congrats! The poors salute you!
😂 I know right
What ever happened to keeping a truck 10 to 15 years ? All these youtubers are about the same anymore. Talk in vein.
Why salute them! they are the reason auto manufacturers cheap out and build trucks to fail after warranty expires.
I like people who only buy new trucks, because they sell used trucks, and I only buy used trucks
I had a 2019 f250 6.2l and I worked at walmart bought used with 152k miles $570 a month and here eventually looking at 2024 or 2025
Drive a 7.3 w 4:30 gears !! You’ll love it !!
how much worse is the MPG?
@@kona6451 it’s a lil better actually. Took off those 35’s and went w 33’s , lighter tire.
New truck prices are insane... if your using it for a daily driver, the mpg just seems insane horrible. very nice truck though. My 6.7 I drive daily can get 17-18 in town, then 23-24 on the interstate unloaded. but the prices on all of them are just ridiculous, I believe FORD is intentionally marking this stuff up to subsidize their electric. I don't think the chip shortage is as legit as they claim.
Nice truck. I just bought a 2022 F-250 Lariat short bed (traded in my 2017 6.7 Power stroke long bed). Good luck with it.
Very nice truck. I followed you very closely when you went from the diesel to the 7.3L. I ended up ordering my '21 F350 XLT with a 7.3l gasser. NO REGRET's ! I was going to get a F250 but could not get it with a 3.73 rear. My options were 3.55 or 4.30. For $1700 I went to the F350 & gained 1k# load cap & 3.73. Well worth the $$$ Since 90% of my miles are towing a 8400# tt I'm really glad I did. I've had the 3.55 before. Empty it was fine, but towing it was just not working for me. Nut for nut; bolt for bolt F250 vs F350 are identical except the overload spring & rear gear option. I installed wheel well liners, shorty antenna, dampening strut to the tailgate, Weather teck's..
What kind of towing mpg are you getting? What size tires?
@@thejuiceisloose8703 If you are asking me; I rarely run empty but the few times I have I'm getting ~13mpg's in the city; 17+ empty on the freeway. Towing my trailer I have averaged ~10.3 mpg's going up & down a lot of hills & mtns here in the PNW. A 4200 mile trip to AZ & back I ave 10.3. I have got as low as 8.5 bucking wind & 13 on a pretty long straight flat run. tire size = 245/75R17
My F250 came with overloads🧐
@@kingrider75 when I was going thru the gymnastics of ordering a new truck (7.3l gas); I found in '20, '21 & '22 the overload was only on the F250 Tremor or the F350. I guess it could be a dealer add or aftermarket? I did look at ordering the F250 & then adding it later. It was the same cost & you do not get the certified higher load cap. For me, it wasn't the overload, it was the 3.73 rear that I wanted and it was not an option on the F250.
Has anyone ever got so hammered drunk they woke up next to a ‘23 superduty? She looked like a ‘22 when you took her home.
I love that big screen and like the overall looks of this model. I have a 2021 Lariat with the 7.3, FX4 that I bought to pull my 30’ TT. I love my truck but you got my attention with the comment about how much better the ride is in your new one. Mine definitely rides like a truck compared to my F150 I had before. Oh well, it pulls my trailer like a boss! Nice truck brother, congratulations!
FYI , not all have the 12 inch. My XLT has the 8 inch and I though it was supposed to have the 12 . It may have been error on my part when ordering.
I have a 23 F350 with the godzilla and 3.73 rear end, and I too get 14.5 average in mixed driving.
Those electronic gauges and screen would scare me. Too much to go wrong and the whole system is down. Call me old school, but there is something satisfying about turning a key and having an engine come to life. Good looking truck
You realize that digital screens have been common for 20 plus years in vehicles? Definitely not a concern these days. Heck, any gauge digital or not can stop working
I think it is funny what different people miss when go down trim levels. Unlike you mine was the auto climate. I got used to the key again without too much trouble.
Great video. We love our Godzilla as well. Thanks for putting together.
For anyone in the market for a HD gasser. I'd recommend giving the independent front suspension 2024 Chevy/GMC 2500HD 6.6L L8T w/ the 'Allison' a chance. I've owned a 2022 F-250 7.3L Lariat w/ 10R140 and now a '24 GMC 2500HD AT4 w/ Allison 10L1000. I definitely think the GM rides smoother, powertrain is quieter and overall gives a more refined feeling. For what its worth, I've been Ford since 1998 but I'd buy the '24 GMC again for sure!
GM IFS is always shot before 100k miles
I’ve never had any “premature” wear issues with any IFS,…and for sure not anything around 100k.
Yes, GM is much better! I’m going back to my Silverado! Never again Ford!!
Ordered a 7.3 350 Drw in Feb picked it up in April ans ir went back to the dealer literally 2 weeks after I picked it up. ALL and I mean All the lights would stay on after I shut it off and walked away. Stayed on till the battery went dead. Took a week ans the found the light control module was bad. Replaced and no issues. At 6k and no other issue . I like the 7.3 . Mine is an xlt and I added some of the lariat options. I think it’s a keeper.
Love the truck Cory lots of cool options but I’m still happy with my 2003 dodge Cummins dually I’m currently driving about 30 Kilometres to and from work getting 14.8 miles per gallon 👍
I have a 23 6.7l.. I'm not at all impressed with all EPA crap on these, seems like a incredible waste. It's a federal law to remove it of course or delete, but the government trucks are deleted... hilarious.
Awesome truck! Never been a fan of silver trucks but I like that color. I have a Ram 2500 gas now and the day I get rid of it will be the happiest day of my life at least in my truck world. I too had bad experiences with GM but I'm thinking of going back. My buddy has a 2024 2500 gas and the 10 speed tranny has made a huge difference in towing power.
You’ve earned the views and subscribers with all of your good videos. Many of them have helped me. Thanks.
I will admit I like to see in your videos, ‘What would Cory actually spend his own money on?’ rather than sponsored or gifted items, but I also recognize that’s just part of having a CZcams channel.
Ps… making me want a new truck.
Very fair point. I do like to point out a few things about the gifts.
1. Sometimes when folks use their own money they feel the need to defend the product OR have unrealistic expectations from the product. Having nothing invested I feel like I can give a bit better perspective.
2. I've done a few vids blasting gifts I have received... haha.
3. Many of the videos I do with the freebies are simply to introduce you guys to a new, quality product. Everyone's tastes and preferences are different. I don't want to limit the channel to only things I find useful. If its good quality at a fair price I am happy to introduce it.
All of this said I completely understand your point. Its a fine line to walk. In the end the viewers trust is ALWAYS #1.
Yeah I can appreciate that. Just because I don’t want a given product, doesn’t mean you wouldn’t.
Keep doing what you’re doing.
Yessir! Getting mine next week and wanted to be sure the one I got had push button start. Love that feature!
Nice Truck, I have a gas truck also. No need for a diesel truck to drive every day and to tow a few times a year. I put gas in it and go.
Thanks for the video. I’m glad you went over the things normal people want to see, and since you bought the truck it’s a real world review. I’m looking at a similar truck just missing the power on board and pro trailer assist. I was going to ask what you paid, thanks for going over that. I’m hoping they go under msrp a tad, but we will see. I have the weather tech mats in my current truck and after a few years they start getting out of shape, I think this time I’m going to try the ford rubber mats. Nice truck, good luck on the computer issues. That’s one thing that scares me as well, I’ll be coming from an 08 f150 with no fancy tech…major upgrade for me.
There is no AI with the parking brake; whenever you use the zoom for the trailer view, the truck knows at that point you're trying to hitch up and applies the parking brake. That's nice, but ideally the parking brake would apply every time you drop into park regardless of hooking up or not. You're stopping, in park, truck can't/shouldn't move anyway, just apply the brake automatically. My ram works that way though it can be turned off I don't see why somebody wouldn't want it to auto apply. I've used handbrakes and parking brakes every time I park (like we're supposed to) for like 30 years now so having it automatically set instead is just one less thing to think about.
I have the identical truck. My infotainment screen dose the same. I haven't taken my truck in for this concern. Soon i will. I agree with you very aggravating.
I just got an email from Ford that my F350 Lariat Ultimate 7.3 is scheduled for production. Iconic Silver Metallic as well 👍🏼
Congrats!! Sweet ride.
I got one email for my 2024 in July said will be built in October an haven't Heard anything since
Good looking truck. I've got a 2019 F250 with the 6.2 gas. It does really well towing our camper but I've considered an upgrade. The 7.3 is high on my list when the time comes. I could see a lot of the features of this truck being game changers over my current.
The 6.2 was an absolute turd
@@englishenator
I am happy with my f350 6.2 gas. But I also only heavy tow 13000 lbs 20 miles round trip. Where the long distance towing is only 5000 lbs.
My guess is you did not get the 4.30 rear. I think that made a big difference on my truck. The 4.30 seems to add enough torque.
Went from 05 5.4 superduty and an 05 6.0 gmc hd to my 22 6.2 ford. Love this truck, way better than the old dogs I own
Nice truck for sure. I have the 7.2kw Pro Power in my F150 and it comes in handy when camping or for backup power. Be tough to go without now
I've read that Ford is having all kinds of problems with their infotainment system, they are defective, screens lag, freeze, are off center, etc., and they are lightyears behind General Motors in this department.
That screen is one of the main things that made me get rid of our platinum f150. It did the same thing you’re getting, holding down the power and fast forward will reset it sometimes I’d do it 2 times in a day. The last straw was when it somehow forgot I had a trailer attached after pulling away from a rest stop, and had a chair fall of from camper in front of us went to brake and swerve and where were my brakes? I had no trailer brakes.
Few weeks later it happened again pulling out of storage, had done the whole set up screen froze and no trailer brakes pulling up to a light 55mph. Reset the screen and it was fine. Traded it in following weekend. 😅
Definitely going back to the dealer for a look.
@@WanderingWeekends definitely keep an eye out.
Be nice to get read of the antenna and have it in the glass
I have the same issue with then center screen rebooting frequently.
It’s better lately but not fixed.
Just updated from a 20 xlt with 6.2 to a 24 xlt with 7.3…. Haven’t towed yet, but can definitely feel seat of pants difference. The 6.2 was ok, but could really tell there was a heavy camper behind it in the mountains of WV. Hoping the 7.3 and 10 speed make it better. (Camper is 34’ and 8500lbs) so within 6.2 territory.
Anyways great info video, and helped me make the leap to the 24.
Ford needs to see what world class digital instrumentation looks like and see what Porsche has done on their vehicles!!! The digital speedo and tach look like a joke done by high school students!
I was tempted to buy the 7.3 godzila but I've always ran diesels I bought a F350 4wd crew cab with lariat ultimate sport with FX4 same color
The oil burners are definitely stout.
That constant resetting of the 12" display is a common problem. I owned a 21 F-150 and now a 22 F-150 and they both had the issue you talk of. Both also had a problem with changing radio stations on their own. The 22 has a random problem with the bluetooth connection and my phone. Often incoming phone calls are so scratchy sounding I have to hang up and call the person back. Seems like each time Ford does an over the air update to the system new issues arise. Both pickups were back to the shop over these issues but were never fixed. It is aggravating but still hoping Ford gets the software issues fixed as I have a 23 F-150 ordered. Good luck with yours.
Yep, scratchy phone calls here too! Ugh
I wish they'd put adaptive cruise control on all these trucks. It's the best option I've had, but when I went from an 18 Lariat to a 21 STX F350 dually it wasn't available.
I’ve been waiting for this video, was wondering why you upgraded, makes sense. Sucks the screen is giving you issues. I’m not in the market, but may be if my Hemi doesn’t handle us upgrading trailers. I always want to stay up to date on all the truck brands.
I test drove a brand new identical optioned truck. I freaking loved it and will be getting the deal wrote up next week.
Great video. I can't get past the look of the box and bumper steps. Wish there was an option to delete in higher trim levels. Would love to upgrade to a 250 for the greater towing ability over my 150 but I know I'd hate it every time I walk up to it and see those steps..... yes it would bother me enough to overlook everything else that is amazing on the truck.
I absolutely LOVE the steps. Function over form. These aren’t Ferraris. JMO of course.
Well I’ve been watching your videos on your truck and I bit the bullet and traded my 3500 ram dually 6.7 Cummins for a f-250 7.3 gas and I’m shocked we pull a 38’ open range roamer weights about 11900 and it pulls it very well Good ride down to the costly Cummins Thanks
Congrats!!
Hope that fits in the garage. I can’t spend that much on a vehicle and leave it outside
You have to try out the Pro Trailer assist. It's is amazing and kind of eerie how well it works. I am also upgrading my Ford truck to be able to have a true TPMS system that is integrated in the dash and works with the RV trailer.
How much does that TPMS cost? Are getting the rear view trailer camera that can also be linked through the infotainment screen?
@@Blakehx There are a few kits available. I bought the one with the TPMS and trailer yaw sensor which cost about $480. I did not get the camera kit since I already have a wireless camera on the RV.
Have you done a towing video with this truck? How much would you feel comfortable towing with this truck?
I’ve spoken about its towing performance but nothing super in depth. It’s a great tow vehicle for my needs. I feel like anything up to 12-13k wouldn’t be a problem at all and a comfortable tow. I’d definitely go 3:73 rear again.
Appreciate the review great looking truck. As far as the tailgate down camera its only offered on Platinum and Limited it would be nice if it was standard with all trims. I just recently ordered a 23 F350 Lariat Ultimate Tremor with the 7.3L and 4.30 gears supposed to be in production on Aug 7th.
It’s also on king ranch
Nice truck, I just got the Lariat 350. The ride is great, which is way better than I anticipated. It actually rides better than my parents’ GMC AT4 1500. I’ve got the 3:73 rear end and average around 16 hwy in ECO mode. I haven’t had the issue with the screen. I’m assuming though it’s much like the new tech in LCD / LED tv’s where it does a pixel reset to prevent images from burning into the screen.
Good to know that it didn't leave you on the road side. Did you have any problems with the last truck I have a 21 7.3 love it so far. The tech is awesome on these new trucks but worries me. Great video.
Hey bro nice truck. That 7.3 is ok if ya like stoping at gas stations all the time. Me I'm a diesel guy. I like the power and the mileage that a diesel provides. There's nothing like stepping on the gas pedal and hearing that big diesel goin to work when ya got a heavy load behind ya.
I think the maintenance on the diesel with all that emissions stuff would ture me towards. If you talk to one of your friends real nice when that thing goes into limp mode they will come with there gas motor and tow you to ford I hope you don't have an engine problem it's sad to walk in and see the cab and frontend off the truck so they can get to the motor
I will take the gas engine over diesel to stay away from diesel maintenance, DEF, and going 5 mph because a sensor went bad.
I'll stick with just having diesel in my tractor 🚜
On our 2021, we got an XLT and the dealer worked add on leather as part of the deal with Katskinz. You can get about any color you want. We matched the color to the interior trim. Good to know on the difference between 3.73 vs 3.55 which isn't much.
Do the Katskinz fit well, look good and feel good? I've seen them advertised.
@F350DuallyD To me they look the same as the leather you would get in a Lariat package. It is not going to be like a King Ranch, but my wife and I like it.
Getting ready to trade my 2018 Power Wagon on a 2023 Tremor with the 7.3. Little nervous, but pretty sure I am doing the right thing.
I went from a 17 Ram CTD to the 2023 F250, 7.3 w/4:30's
Though it doesn't pull like the diesel, it still pulls like a beast. No worry's on sky high expensive diesel emissions, maint and repair costs.
So glad I did. I think you will be too 👍
Mine sync screen dod the same thing. It will slowly get worse. They will be putting a new APIM in it. If they can get ahold of one that is.
I’ve got a 2017 ram diesel with 3.73 rear gears and i really like it
I must be an exception on the issues with thw 12 inch screen. Have a 22 F-350 Tremor and the onky time it did anything wierd was when it updated. Had just patked and the whoke scrern went dark. Was able to get it to come back on and it did it again. When i came back out it was working fine had some features it did'nt have before. Realizing it had installed the update.
The low rpm torque of the 7.3 and the 10 speed is awesome. If only it could have an exhaust brake 😂
As a Ram owner the infotainment system has their own problems 😂
Now I've got to go see if the zone lighting is on my XLT. LOL
I do wish that my 2022 F250 XLT had electric seat controls. Driver seat has limited electric control. Passenger seat is all manual.
It's a option on xlt
It's crazy how Ford has issues with their screens. My buddies 2017 F150 had the same type of issue where his radio at times would just turn off. I've heard multiple people complain about the same issue. You would think Ford would've fixed this stuff by now.
Trucks are coming along nicely…once all the new electronics work! That’s a nice XLT with practical options. And the gassers sure have come a long way for the good.
This truck would have been out of this world even 15 years ago.
Nicve truck, can you show us the window sticker?
Wow what a nice truck outside your issues it's a nice one brother! I looked at one recently I want a big and tall truck heck I'm 6 foot 7 so kinda fits lol😅
The Godzilla trucks are awesome period ❤
Wow, nice truck. I wish they'd put some of that fancy stuff in the Chevy Express vans. I guess they assume it's going to be a work vehicle and workers don't need luxuries 🙄
Love the van as our TV, but it would be nice to have some fancier amenities.
Wavelength? What you’re experiencing when the digital display seems to flash in the camera it is due to the refresh rate of the display and the frame rate of the camera.
Nice truck and glad you’re enjoying it! We had a 2019 F-250 with the 6.7L (Lariat, no fancy Platinum like KYD;) and I really miss it (traded it when we switched from a trailer to a Class C)! I’ve been looking at the Ranger as a possible tow car but they’re almost all stripped down base models and still overpriced. May switch back to a trailer anyways because I hate driving our motorhome. I don’t know what’s up with Ford… F-250, 350, 450 all have awesome cabs but E-350 and E-450 cabs suck!
Nice. Good luck. And yes I am a Ford guy.
That color pops.
I just ordered a 24 f250 lariat for right around 76000 not sure of the delivery date yet
Cool truck. I have a '21 Ram. Considered Ford F250 but couldn't get it with Limited Slip differential. That's a deal breaker for me.
I'm team Beckett, big boy lights are the best!
Agree!
What did they do about the screen/ computer. Just bought one and now i am nervous
FX4 is a deal breaker in Nevada. Not just skid plates, but a locker in the rear end.
Nice truck. . BUT for safty cover up your license plate
I also have 2019 6.7 F350 Lariet. I hate the adaptive steering. Always fighting me to turn back to neutral. Or just driving around making turns in the city after a long day at work. I ordered a 2024 xlt and I pray the steering is easier or I won't take it. I'll go with Chev. their 2024 3500 has such easy steering. I was shocked.
Touch screen problem is unfortunate. It's like that with first run new stuff.
Hey Cory, thank you guys as well...
Our pleasure!!
Hey buddy love the videos. I have a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Duramax and considering ordering a f350. Can u send me ur build sheet. Thanks
Happens with lots of trucks today. Fishing a quality truck is next to none today. Buy 1990s truck if so.
I had the same issue with my 2019 f-150 where I had to reset it constantly, not as much as yours but at least every couple of weeks, I honestly think is a software issue on Ford's ew trucks/vehicles, I no longer own the Ford and don't have those issues on my current vehicle (Honda). Hopefully they can get yours resolved and you get to enjoy your new truck.
I love that aftermarket Superduty rock/bug guard. Is it adhesive? Can you send me the link to get one? Thanks so much. 👍
Great video, I have a 2022 f-150 and has the same problem with my screen since I picked it up, screen rebooting pretty much every time I start it ,as well as the radio keeps turning itself off. Just got my regular service today and mentioned it again so they’ve done a bunch of updates to the modules I guess. They said if this doesn’t work the next step would be to replace the needed module.
Thanks for the video, it was quite informative. I just bought my first super duty, 2023 F250 Lariat Sport in Azure Grey, super crew and 8' bed, and really don't know anything about it other than that. Well, it has the 7.3 engine. I decided to buy a the truck before the RV, that way I can get the proper sized RV for the truck. Otherwise my truck is a luxury grocery getter and hobbiest tool. I work from home otherwise I would have had to be more responsible.
Any issues?
Thanks for the info. I have a 2022 RAM 3500 6.7 diesel. I an also thinking of going to a gas engine. I've been having trouble with the radio also. Keeps losing presets and other weird stuff. Dealer says it's a known issue, and RAM is working on it.
My 2005 is getting old but after 500k on the motor regular oil change air filters fuel filters. The only problem I had was the ecm. I can't complain other than that
Is the rear seat cover in the description? I looked on the Amazon store you guys have and would love to purchase one, it may be there but I couldn’t find it. Let me know which brand seems to fit very well.
Thanks!
Here you go!! amzn.to/40sJegW
The park brake auto applies if you park on a hill. I could be wrong, that's what I've noticed so far. When you back up to the trailer are you on a hill?
It’s not AI for the trailer hitch and auto park brake. It’s when you switch camera views to see the ball from the top.
Also make sure that when you connect trailer you make sure it goes onto your specified trailer. It was a 50/50 shot most of the time the truck defaulted to the default trailer and none of the features aka blind spot/navigation won’t know you have your grand design back there.
thank you for the clarification!
I have a Ford f 250 2023 7.3 gas , I can’t find no we’re in the truck that it says Godzilla?..
Did they figure out what was the issue
By any chance were you @ the KOA in St Augustine this weekend? There was a rig across from us there that looked similar to yours.
No, we were in the mountains
Love this video! I'm currently shopping for this exact truck so this was super helpful! I've been trying to compare/contrast the 7.3 Godzilla vs the Powerstroke Diesel and I think for me personally I'm leaning the Godzilla but I was curious more of why you went to the diesel and back to gas again? Thanks again!
You did an awesome job on cleaning that truck up. Ford should give a discount just for how good you made that truck look.
Your FX4 is a big deal because it includes a rear LOCKER! To install that on my XL it's $2000
A beautiful truck; Like the Monochromatic look; Our F150 2023 XLT does bring the Dual A/C in the 302A package. Here in South FLA for us, it matters when your wife and myself our at two different temperatures lol....Now my ride quality is awesome. I feel at least for the 250 or 350 the step ladder should be standard. My Previous GMC had a standard deep corner step-in corner bumpers that was helpful. Now I have to carry a little folding step. Anyway, like your straight-up honest review.
Love that, looking to trade in my 2021 7.3 for a 23 maybe 24 lariat. I love the sport package like you got but ford drives me nuts that if you get the sport pkg. you can not get the tow package. I want the sport because the non sport looks hideous, but I must have the tow package.
This one has the payload upgrade and tow tech package. Really don’t need a trans cooler for these Imagines.
@@WanderingWeekends I was after the extra spring and the rear anti-sway bar. Once you put the sport package on it removes and snow plow/camper packages.
I would never go back to a gas engine. Whether towing or not. The gas doesn’t do it for me. My 2022 f350 diesel gets 20 mpg as a daily driver and 12 to 13 towing. My 2018 had 100000 miles on it and my 2022 has 60000 on it and neither truck wouldn’t be able to find its way back to the shop. Not one problem with either of them
I'm just ordering my 2024 F350. Still on the fence about the 6.7 or the 7.3. And since I'm going with the Tremor I'm locked into the 3.55 gears for the 6.7 or the 4.30 gears for the 7.3. I have to decide soon. What did you not like about your 6.7 vs your 7.3?
Great question. I was tired of worrying about “limp mode”, failing EPA required parts, the drama over diesel prices, waiting on diesel pumps to become available. DEF, insane repair bills, and knowing I paid $10k extra for something I did not need.
@@WanderingWeekends I appreciate the response. I have the same concerns but don't know anyone with a 7.3 to compare to. Thank you for this video and your opinion on the two
Excellent! -- QUESTION -- You were about to say that your MPG would be better on the highway but you changed conversation. Can you tell what your mpg would be on highway at 55 mph and at 50 mph? Would love to know that as most people give the MPG at 75 and I was told that there would be a huge difference. What about with the 3:55 gears.. any idea what the mpg would be at those spreads? Thanks a lot!
I’m not sure at 55mph (one would cause an accident going that slow on GA highways) but with everyday driving I’ve lost about 0.5mpg moving to the 3:73 rear end.
@@WanderingWeekends ,,,LOL.. I remember hearing about "double nickles" in the 1980s and the 55 speed limit. I always thought that MPG was computed at 55 or 60. But all this 75 and 80 stuff is going to kill MPG. Would you get 18 or 20 at 55? If you had to guess?
Probably 17, maaaaaybe 18

Awesome video thanks for sharing
Sharp looking truck, smart choices. My apologies if I missed it, but what is the payload on the door sticker on your truck?
Thanks guys? Payload is 3520lbs
@@WanderingWeekends thank you, wow that's really solid payload 💪🏻
i've came across your channel while doing research for my new super duty. I do not tow anything 99% of the time, and i have never owned a diesel truck. Would you recommend or persuade someone to get a diesel vs gas? would it make sense in my case, and does it require more maintenances for diesel with DEF?
I had a diesel, I don’t miss it one bit. This gasser has been great.
Nice looking truck.
Thanks 👍
