I have a 2017 F-250 6.7 with 300,000 miles, 3 sets of batteries, water pump, AC Compressor, 4 brake jobs. I live in the desert so no rust. Been a great truck!
Thank you for the feedback!
I also own a 2017 F250 6.7. Love it! 🇺🇸
Any exhaust aftertreatment issues?
@@DavidHuber1 Zero! Always topped off the DEF fluid when it hit half a tank. If I was working close in town and didn’t get on the highway that week. I would do a standing regen with the Banks idash.
My 2015 2500HD has 235k miles and has had nothing replaced but brake pads. Batteries say 2015 on them (AC Delco) maybe your 300k were some hard miles, but that actually seems like a pretty needy truck to me…
Now, that's a review! Much more useful than those 1 year 10K mile ones littering CZcams. Thanks for doing this video. Would love to see more; e.g., a godzilla with 100K miles.
Yes, I agree, what they consider long-term (1 year) is not my long-term. I just sold a 1987 F150 with the 4.9 300 in-line 6 cylinder with over 500,000 miles on it, regular maintenance & 1 transmission, now that's long-term.
@@scottyellis3442 Now that’s long term!
No, it's NOT a review. TFL did own or drive this truck. Andre just took a quick look at somebody else's used truck.
@@larrysmith6797 If you haven't seen it already, head over to TFLclassics. Aundre interviews a guy with a heavily worked 2000 F-250 diesel with 500K miles.
Yeah there's a lot of "long term" 50k mile reviews lol
TFL should buy it and do an ike gauntlet towing test with the same kind of load they did back in 2020 with those new duallys
This type of content needs it's own channel! High mileage, durability etc. etc.
Very encouraging Andre, I have the exact 2020 F350, 6.7L Powerstroke except mine is a single rear drive. Mine has only 67K so hopefully plenty of miles left to go in the future. Well done!
Those buttons on the front are probably for a 'winter front' that blocks airflow so it can actually reach proper operating temperature in the winters up north.
Yeah,becauve in the winter, if we don't plug our diesel,it don't start, and the "winter front" help very much. It's why in Quebec, gas truck is popular, because it's always start in winter
Definitely
The Truck was fitted with a winter front for the winter and a bug screen for the summer. The Winter front just speeds up engine warm up and helps keep the engine at operating temps and helps to minimmize heat loss from the cab. This truck was used just in the Prairies where salt is not used on the roads in winter, calcium cloride brine is used in its sted. If it was an eastern truck from the rust belt is would be heavily rusted on the under side.
You can tell its highway mileage by how good the seat looks.
We worked, in the RV business. In Elkhart Indiana., delivered Fifthwheel, and pull bumper trailers, all over the US, and Canda. We had a 2018 f350 dually. In less then 2 years, we put close to 500000 miles on it.
Any emission issues?
Obviously a hot shot truck, fuel cell in back and that high of mileage, this truck probably had a hard life despite its condition so to the areas you mentioned the truck was running those guys tend to over load everything, not much highway patrols in those rural areas. One example for you to see is Danger Industries channel, I wouldn’t own one of his trucks after he had it.
WTF is a hot shot truck?
@@Outdoor_MED basically a truck that lives on the road hauling anything from machinery to parts or anything that needs shipped privately or for a business, something a regular Joe can start up to make living.
@@Outdoor_MEDhot shot are guys who do commercial style hauling with HD trucks.
A truck that is shot (most likely with double barrel shotgun) and left on the side of the road in hot climate (usually in desert heat). Hot shot truck.
In my opinion that’s the best looking grill ford has produced in a long time. The new one has to go. Looks like crap.
Definitely a hotshot truck! I put 98k on a 21 F350 running hotshot with ZERO PROBLEMS! Not one issue! Amazing truck!
Independent study from iSeeCars found that Ford Super Dutys is the most likely to make it to 250,000 miles of all vehicles made between 2012 and 2022.
Have 246k on my 2011 F350. These 6.7's motors are beasts and transmissions are just as good. Buddy has 2016 Chevy 2500 gasser with 76k just replaced his transmission 7k!
A chevy will get you halfway, a ford will get you there, and more!
I am a big Chevy guy and 14-20 was NOT the year to buy a Chevy gasser. The diesels were fine however
Hot shot truck. Hard miles. The only way a modern diesel will last a long time with few majors repairs. Nicely done.
Hauling RV's maybe. Not quite as hard on the truck as pulling flatbed freight. You can rack up 75-100k miles a year if you do it full time.
Any Pickup used constantly will last a lot longer than a short stop and go version
As well some of the Global Diesel Midsizers have impressive use mileages. Isuzu said that 95% of their Dmax Pickups get 220,000 miles before a major service
@@robertryan7204what’s the reason for that?
@@Halfdead211 well like Taxi's that are constantly running hot, they do staggering mileage compared to a normal vehicle
Good way to start my morning, a brand new TFL video 😎
I just sold my 2011 powerstroke with 276000 miles on it. These trucks run if maintained.
I have a 2018 ram 2500
I have 4hundred fifthy thousand miles and everything is original except two things. I got the trans rebuilt last year and I just put a new fuel pump in yesterday. Other than that still rides like a Cadillac.
Rams a better truck.
Rams are the best 💪
Great video guys! I really enjoy this type of content!
I have a '17(DRW) with 431.000...Transported RV's for a couple years...The only thing that I replaced was the radiator, because the top where connects to the upper hose, cracked...Besides that...Oil changes...4 batteries...filters...all fluids replaced well before the "limit"...My daily driver now(40 miles r/t)...Very happy with it.
I work in a truck repair shop, and I have seen the same truck that were neglected, that did not last 100k....Blown engines, turbos, transmissions..."Don't expect much of it, if you don't take care of it..."
More of these please. New truck reviews are great but it’s nice to see how these moving mortgages age.
We just traded a 2020 trail boss off with the 6.2l it was a custom trim level, so it didn’t have all the bells and whistles. It was a daily driver between East Texas and the oil fields of midland/Pecos Tx.
It was traded in last week in Waco, Texas, being 38 months old since the date of purchase with 282k miles on it.
Nothing was ever purchased other than one battery, about seven or eight sets of tires, one idler, pulley and belt and that was it.
The man that drove it works with me. He never hit the trip meter on it since the day he purchased it and when you look at “ trip A “ it had the same mileage is the odometer lifetime fuel average was 15.2 miles to the gallon.
That’s why our company has seven of those in stock right now they are all about a year and a half old with a 80-100k on them.
My dad's 2017 F350 Lariat 6.7 has 72k on it now, he's owned it since new. Only issue he's had with it is a recent one when the truck started leaking diesel fuel but he got the upgraded fuel filter from Ford.
13:39 Backing after disengaging 4wheel drive. Smart man! Suprised to see that!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@wakeupamerica2024 yeah, I was wondering about that myself 🤏🏾
I had a 2020 F350 SRW diesel and it has been flawless for 50,000 miles. Good to know that there are hundreds of thousand miles left.
You guys should hook the truck to a dyno and see if the horsepower and torque are still about the same as when it was new.
To put such high mileage on it must have spent most of its life on an interstate or equivalent that means top gear and not a great deal of strain on the engine or transmission you could argue it’s had an easy life
It has a well-used gooseneck hitch, that indicates it was towing a heavy 5th wheel trailer, as they are not used for light hauling. So, it was not an easy life. Everything would have been strained constantly.
@@skrsyshighway life is easy, even when towing a trailer. It will only wear the trans a little because when cruising down the road you are barely shifting, it will wear certain gears slowly
Easy life, hard life, call it what you want. Regardless this truck performed its job it was built for. And performed very well.
All my ford's has had 300,000 + miles, & that's with just normal maintenence. I had 1 that had over 500,000 miles on it, I sold it & still see it running around.
I have a new challenge for you guys. I live in Palmdale, CA and I feel you should try the Highway 2 challenge from Palmdale to Pasadena and back to Palmdale. I believe you will find it challenging.
Thanks to you guys videos and input I was able to make an informed decision. Yesterday I bought a 2023 F-250 STX FX4 with the 7.3 Godzilla and I love it so far.
Considering the price of these trucks these days the idea of "If you only use it to go to work and back is a waste of the truck." is short sighted. Instead of getting that heavy spec'ed F150 you can get this and 10-15 years down the road not only will the truck hold it's value better but you will be prepared to tow with fewer questions because you know from the start that your truck can handle it.
After that just take care of your vehicles. Change the oil on time, put good tires on, and generally stay on top of the maintenance before small things become big and expensive things to fix. These trucks from any of the big 3 truck makers will generally last and hold up well if you do at least the basics.
Best comment and only comment who agrees with what I also thought.
If yoi buy a truck like this is to work other wise is a waste of money .
I have a 22 f350, I use to hot shot with, bone stock, all original powertrain, driveline, and chassis… the truck has only not had a trailer connected 3k mi since I bought new, I just crossed 300k this morning!
With mileage this high, those had to be almost all highway miles. That's the furthest thing from hard miles
If it was constantly towing a 5th wheel/goose neck trailer, highway miles or not, those would be hard miles
They are definitely highway miles but likely heavily loaded miles. That and it was in Canada. That makes for a very hard life.
Highway miles towing 30k up and down hills aren't hard miles?
Yeah, hard highway miles. Those rear bump stops will tell the story.
You don't tow much do ya? 🤣
I've been waiting for a video like this, might even post one myself. Just got a 2017 f250 platinum with the 6.7 @ 200k. Great way to start off in my brand used truck if you ask me 😁
That's encouraging for sure. The high mileage trucks are the only ones I can afford lol
Good shape for being an alberta truck, stuff here gets destroyed from the rock and sand in winter, we usually use a 50/50 mix of sand and salt
We put "winter fronts" other grills in winter to keep the heat in.
I would love a video with manufacturer talk, real-world testing, and comparison of the different diesel fuel. With D#2, B20, HPR, and 95% Biomass, it is not clear as to what is best or excepted by the manufacturer. With injector failure, filter clogging, the need for additive, and lets not forget the dreaded CP4 failure. What is the best?
Last place I worked at had 1 customer that was a horse hauler. Traded trucks (F-350s) around every 90000. In the almost 4 years I was there, he was about to trade the 5th truck.
A different guy that delivered horse trailers had a 2018 F350 with 340k on it (he retired just before I left in 2022) and he had sold his other truck a year before that was a 2013 with 640k on it.
My only caveat is high milage over a short duration is not the same as any milage over a long time. Time is far harder than milage. I have to tell myself they are meant to be driven. And if you don’t use them they atrophy. Seals dry, swell, etc… metal corrodes with exposure to moisture as well as acidic compounds in oil. Which is why having many oil changes in a short time of three years high milage will mean your flushing those contaminates where my 4 year old 40k truck sits with those compounds in the oil for a long time where they can act against the truck instead of being cycled and flushed
i have a 2020 6.7 with 26,400 miles on it and its just had its 5th oil change!
Do a Ike gauntlet and see if it can still handle it and if there is any degradation in the numbers compared to when it was new. I am sure you have data on this same make , model and , year somewhere in your archives.
That surface rust looks like how it comes from the factory these days.
Curious how many hours of run time were on the truck as well. I had a 2021 F250 with a 6.2 as a work truck for about a year and a half. It accumulated around 19,000 miles but also just over 2000 hours of run time on the engine. I worked in the utility field, so my truck was my transportation, my office, and a mobile power source on the job site. During one post-storm event, working to restore power, it ran continuously for almost 6 days. In that year and a half, it gave me no trouble…but I expect that from a new vehicle.
I’m a Troubleman for a utility and I have a 550 and the thing has insane idle time truck never shuts off and tons of off road and in town driving plus a boom with pto..I have an 18 and it’s at 150k very hard miles only thing ever done has been the upper oil pan gasket ..I drove Chevy for 40 years but I was so impressed with my work truck I went and bought a 22 f250
I have a 2020 F450 with 28000 miles , I tow a excavator and a large skid steer . Zero problems . Truck is still like brand new and I bought it 3 years ago
The buttons on the front are for a winter front or bug mesh, both can be useful up here in Alberta.
As far as the Carfax goes, it can’t be taken as gospel for service and repairs, especially for a Canadian trucks that has a US Carfax pulled. It’s not required for shops to report to Carfax service and repairs, and that can leave a large gap on Carfaxes. I also find that Canadian vs US Carfax can be inconsistent in what they show on the same VIN.
With that kind of mileage, it all comes down to the maintenance. I'd really want to see the service history before shelling out decent money. It could be a very great truck for another 275k miles... as long as it was taken care of.
Heat cycles are key! How many? If it stayed running means less heat cycles!
It is more than maintenance…great built trucks…poorly built trucks fall apart even with maintenance
Incorrect. A truck that stays running typically means there's a lot of idle time and idle time wears out camshafts, lifters and oil pumps. Though the engine has 300+ doesn't mean a catastrophic failure isn't right around the corner if there was a lot of idle time. That's why government vehicles such as police vehicles are often sold with 150-250,000 on the clock because more often than not the camshafts on the engines are completely wiped. I've bought more than my fair share. My best purchase was a 1995 F350 7.3 crew cab long bed 5 speed 4wd. It was a previous transport truck for highway crews and had 285 on it and had a broken leaf spring. Once fixed, I ran it for 100k without issue. The trick was that the truck was driven long distances and had almost no idle time between stops. I know because it was assigned to my neighbor for 20 years from the state and he bought it after it was retired and he retired a couple years after.
@@alpha2gproject783Yeah, gov't vehicles do spend a lot of time idling... but vehicles like what is in this video are more commonly associated with the hotshot market. Those don't sit idle, they run... 10's of thousands of miles a month!
That front shock rubber bushing looks the same as a '23 F250 Xl that was new, on the lot! I couldn't believe it. Both front shocks bushing were bad and it had just been delivered. Wanting a new F250, but that left me questing Ford's QA process.
My 2020 Ranger has 26K miles on it. It is amazing how much driving some people do.
One of my coworkers has one with 240 thou miles driving strong everyday with a welder gas tank awh kind of stuff they are badass trucks
Awesome video
35k for this truck. That's insane pricing. Worth maybe 12 to 15 if that. Pricing is out of hand.
15k for that truck… what a grand and intoxicating innocence.
lol what year do you think this is
I'm fairly certain the tank in the back was used as an additional diesel source for the truck. It is missing the pump and discharge handle.
Wonder if it’s had any DEF issues or exhaust filter issues after that many miles…
ok you have a fuel tank that had the pump and hose removed.. and try pushing in on the tailgate and then pull the handle to open it.. i would think you have been around pickups long enough to know this stuff...
The real question is how many injection pumps have been put in it and how many times has the oil pan been resealed? It would be very interesting to interview the previous owner, and see the records of maintenance and repair invoices.
The fuel pump is completely random so I’d say 50/50 it’s even been changed.
As far as oil pan. Similar thing. On a 2020. I highly doubt it’s been done yet.
My 19 got an upper pan gasket at 95k
If it had anything like that done it would have showed up on the service records.
My 2015 215k on it oil pan done twice and same with the cp4 trans started shifting hard at 200k and after the second time repairing the cp4 it kept going into limp mode fought with it for 8months and ended up trading it in on a ram.
The oil pan only needs to be done once if it's done correctly the first time.
1:04 Bring from Canada those were likely to attach a winter cover to help avoid overcooling.
Those fog light probably cracked because of heat from the bulbs in them. The ones I had on my Ford were the same design and they cracked in the exact same way. I had to replace them with aftermarket lights.
Same issue in my 17 f150
Just had to do my 2015 f150 too, they're cheap and dont take weather well.
Yep they all crack
I’ve never had an issue buying a used car with high miles. They’re normally cheaper and have been maintained. Also I drive a lot so if I pay more for a low mileage vehicle it will eventually have high miles. So why not start with a high mile vehicle to begin with?
Especially a late model high
Mileage car , they are great
that's CDN, based on sale date it was $57,970 USD MSRP on June 12th 2020. (68,608.90 USD today).
$34,995 feels like ALOT for THIS truck. that only .12/ mile in deprecation
I wish they showed the blow-by when they first started it
You should have tried to unlock the tailgate directly with the key. What it seems to me is that there is something wrong with the wiring since the backup camera also didn't work. So that means that the electronic lock wouldn't work either when you use the remote to unlock the doors.
@@wakeupamerica2024 I mean, should have tried unlocking the tailgate manually anyway. Never hurts to try to narrow down the problem...
@@wakeupamerica2024 Glad mine doesn't do that. I have a 2022 Maverick and I live in South Florida, so it's been like 100F+ every day this month, lol.
looks like it was very well looked after.that tank in the box is for diesel fuel you fill that up it would come with a hand pump you fill that tank up and the fuel tank on the truck you go a long way with out stopping
My Sister and Her Husband Bought a 2017 GMC 3500 diesel. Here in Ottawa. They moved Travel Trailers around from the Manufacture in USA to places in Canada. There GMC at year two had 240 000 miles. The Deff System let go and cost almost 40 grand to fix. They moved to A semi with a flat bed. Because the little truck cost to much per mile to run. Cost over time was to much for them. The External tank. Most guys here in Canada use the Tank to fill there own truck in the USA.. because Fuel is so costly here in Canada. Running commercial like that you do everything to save a buck.
I am a mechanic at a ford dealer in Alberta and I see quite a few tailgates stop working because the actuator release looses its strength and can’t release
Being from Alberta, I was curious to see what dealership it was sold from originally 😂😊
That truck used a diesel cold weather grill cover over it. I would think people in Colorado would know this?!
Did you try the key to unlock the tailgate?
meanwhile my dad owns a lemon. Basically this truck but only 26k original miles, bought it brand new, damn thing has had a power draw, and the dealership has had to replace the rear end on it twice because it keeps failing.
It’s only 3 years old is it legal to sell being a Canadian vehicle is it legal to sell in the United States curious about laws because if so I’ll go buy a new Sentra in Canada and bring back since they still get a manual
How did you get your hands on this truck? Did you pick it out? Did the dealer ask you to review it?
We randomly found it for sale. Decided to review it.
I would be very curious to see if this truck was imported through my company, Truck Ranch. Almost all the trucks we sell are from Canada and have a few stores pretty close to y’all. Would be cool if it was!
From my experience generally it’s always age that does it not really mileage. Because age is what wrecks the seals and causes leaks I learned this experience with my 03 Jeep grand Cherokee it was about 16 years old but only had 90000 miles on it so I kept onto it but in the end I had to sell it because it had lots of issues regarding seals, leaks and electronics.
Dam for a Canadian truck it looks great. Was it garage kept at all?
You can see what's left of the oil life on the computer on the truck as you drive it
Wow, I thought I had a lot of miles with a 2019 Hyundai at 246,000 miles
"I don't know the owner" ....but my crystal ball tells me what broke and what didn't, bahahaha
i have a 2020 XL 6.7 i bought new, you dont want to know what i paid for it then, with 26,400 miles on it and its had 5 oil changes. brakes are still at 10 front and rear, tires are 7 and 5 in the rear based on the service i had them do a couple weeks ago. the 5 was front, i drove it up a local mounting and it used up some front tire but they rotated them for me, not even a burnout in it. i bought it to use it for towing in a few year and for a write off now. i have some other stuff id like to get and i dont want to have a truck payment then. im saving it for me not the next guy haha.. yeah i am probably going to put the S&S fuel pump in it soon to, just dont want to be the 1st but better safe than sorry. **it has 1 very small chip in the paint from the neighbor carrying something, turned and hit it on the truck... unbelievable but what can you do.
Check the blow by. That will tell you how that motor is
Ya definitely a hot shot truck, pretty good chance I've seen it on the hiway around here. Waay too clean for an oilfield truck or anything else
Could be a new truck for Nathan.
Probably was a hot shot drivers, they always used Fords or Rams because they will do 300-400k miles no problem in a short period of time.
Up here in northern Canada these trucks get abused and they take it. Also slip fuel tanks are common in lower populated areas due to long distances between towns and to offset varying fuel prices from different fuel stations. Sticker would be in Canadian dollars. Truck odometer and speedometer should have been changed to miles to meet US import and DOT regulations. Some vehicles here can switch back and forth from kms to miles.
My truck is a 2022 and has 235,000. Still runs great
When do you sleep dude?
An older truck he says....as I pull up in my 2003 Ram 2500 with 317k miles. My lowly 4 speed Auto...and 305HP.
You should do an IKE Gauntlet test with this truck
I always believe buying the basic trucks will be the best choice to have a reliable truck. Beat them up everytime, but will be problematic as the luxury ones.
The rods that connect the handle to the latches probably just need to be adjusted
Yeah, but is the price any lower?
it has slightly delayed shifts. if teh fluid has been changed that is an issue, if not could get lucky.
Would love to see a high mileage review of a 21 or newer f150
This Ford is just like mine, and everyone else's: Greeted with the Ford screen, then the low tire screen....
You know that truck paid for itself with all those miles 👍🏻😎
the reason the transmission is fine on this truck is because it probably spent its life in tow/haul mode which on these new trucks disables the gear skipping and adaptive shift tables that ford programs in.
Would have been nice to know what recall was performed. It could have been a rebuilt trans or something stupid
That'll be an ex mining vehicle. That's how it did 2000 miles per week. Probably ran close to 24 hours a day across all the shifts on site.
I was thinking hot shot. Dually setup and the paint isn’t bad so it was probably on the highway towing and getting those miles quick.
@@Lq32332 You gotta think about 2000 miles per week every week, that's 300 miles per day every day of every week. My thinking is only a mining vehicle would get used like that
@@SirNecrohot shot drivers, pulling a 5th wheel with misc loads all over the country
The seat would be destroyed if it was a 24/7 across shifts mining truck lol
@@SirNecro they say @0:50 it started in Alberta and went across Canada multiple times- so hotshot. Not to mention, mining trucks don’t get near the freeway miles a hotshot is getting daily.
My 10 speed transmission 2018 Expedition needed replacement at 220,000
Based on the mileage, age, tank and hitch... Was probably used for hotshoting.
Like others have said with that 5th wheel probably a hot shot truck/ Those are HARD miles. Ford Don't mess around with their trucks. I got 3 in my driveway
The term "basic" has evolved from the old days... Lets see it do the Ike while towing! That's when you see if the transmission is still good.
Reviewe the 4.6 3v vs the 2v
wow... 3 years old and the front end of the truck screams dated styling! Sorry to anyone who bought this ugly thing. There was a station wagon on Lampoons Vacation that has the same clunky light structure.
Without hearing from previous owner video is kinda a dud
I enjoyed Andre guessing it's past use by examining it. It's more realistic to how most people shop for used vehicles. This video was far from a dud.
@@O-Hymarkmaybe change the title then, because it says what broke and what didn’t, well without previous owner knowledge that’s hard to know
@@gamebredduramax71 You're right I forgot. The previous owner will always tell you about all the damage and malfunctions of the truck. Silly me
@@O-Hymarkdud
They need to make relationships with long distance hauling companies. I worked with a scaffolding company and we would take our scaffold states away and put tons of miles on trucks and always took them to shops for anything that wasn't changing a blown tire on the road
Edit: dud
That many miles in a few short years and the fuel tank in the bed is a clear indication that it was a hotshot truck or hauled campers. Mines a 20 SXT with a 6.7 and 284k on it currently. No repairs, just oil changes, tires and front brake pads. And 140k of those miles are on bigger wheels and tires. I'll buy another
i think i know that truck and it was a hotshot rig the fuel tank I remember seeing
