2023 Ford F350 HO POWERSTROKE TOWING 10k UP 6% GRADE: IS THIS NEW ENGINE JUST HYPE??? 

Need more like these! Unfiltered and raw towing to see what's happening. Keep these up.

You're getting the same feeling I get everytime i drive mine! I've been saying it for the last year ... if its reliable, the other 2 can't touch this truck.

I don’t think anyone that drives a modern diesel through a regen cycle and actually see how nasty Def is would consider them better for the environment. It’s obvious whoever came up with this stuff hates diesel’s and doesn’t drive them.

Very nice. Now I have to go look at the Fords.

I realize the GM style bed steps are functional but the trucks looked way better without them. Good video.

I have the work version of this truck, it tows really nice. Have a 700 tongue weight trailer and we don’t even know trailer is behind it. The engine brake does everything I need it to as well.

The biggest downside is that once you step above that XL/XLT trim level, the costs quickly balloon out of control.

That gauge cluster also appears to be having the issue for which Ford has ordered their dealers to stop sale on models built between certain dates. The problem is with the gauge cluster dropping down below the dash trim, hiding portions of the gauge.

You can set those gauges on top to have numbers. You have to click on detailed view under settings

An observation I've made when driving the 22 and up powerstroke is they give you all the beans in the first half of the pedal. Almost feels like it's programmed with a pedal monster/commander. The powerstroke does well no doubt but due to the pedal programing it feel stronger than it really is.

I have a 21 power stroke and 28-30 k it's extremely comfortable tons of power! I love it!

I love how that super duty looks. And I'm a chevy man.

Nice! Enjoyed the ride along testing. Almost made me want to buy a Ford! Whew…that was close 😅

Great video and information. Thank you!

Good video. I'm enjoying the Ford !

Awesome review JP!! Could you imagine doing a FULL delete and then do a tune how much better it would pull and mpg would be!!

You went up a short hill in town with 10k 🙈 pull 15k up a 6% grade for 6 miles. You did with the gasser and hit the brakes right before the climb and then went full throttle starting on a grade at 45 mph and then wondered why it only pulled it at 50 mph

Great Video!!

Is 230° engine oil normal?

The only way to actually judge the exhaust brakes on these trucks would be to do a test with the same trailer and load on the same road and use manual mode and match rpms while going down hill. With the 10 speeds, it would probably be equivilent to need to drop two gears to equal a one gear drop with the 6 speed. As far as how the trucks do in drive with brake applications or even with the grade braking in cruise control, you are judging the transmission programming and not necessarily the engine brake. I can tell you that several weeks ago I descended 9 miles of 7-8% grade with about 14k behind me, a flatbed trailer loaded with logs and a Jeep TJ that weighs 5500 lbs behind that and my 23 GMC Denali Dually was outstanding in manual mode, no brake applications at all and it is 100% down hill. In normal drive mode tow haul, no where near as good because a lot of the transmission downshifts appear to be related to how hard you press on the brakes as to how aggressive the downshifts are. For me, I choose manual mode.

Awesome truck!! When are you gonna test your Dully’s exhaust brake under load to see how it does?

I would give it a 130 mpg run

I am not a Ford fanboy, but people whining about lack of powered convex mirror on Ford trucks is rather funny to me. How many times do you really screw around convex mirrors once they are set? Powered convex mirror by Ram seems like a gimmick. If you need a powered convex mirror for your driving pleasures by all means get a Ram. But I rather get more power in a Ford than a powered convex mirror when it comes to towing.

You went faster up the 6% grade with that 5.7 hemi 1500 reble and the same trailer on a hotter day

Are those mirror reverse cameras available on the XLT? I really don't want to go up to the Lariat due to cost, and I'm not really a fan of leather seats either. It's about $8000 less to get an XLT, but those cameras are a feature I would really like. One thing I love about RAM -- you can get all the fancy tech on ANY trim level, you don't have to go Lariat or above like with Ford.

Man! If you would be able to do the delete on this truck, it would be an even bigger monster!!

Great review man. Good ol Ford transmission boiling point when Ram is running 190.

Ford got them all beat right now. But I’m still happy about my ram. I notice that ford hangs in lower gears higher rpm My ram Aison finds big hole before it reaches 30mph. And rumbles from low rpm to full speed

Can you change the color of the gauges where it fills in?? I thought this was usually blue?

I have only seen you test the HO Powerstroke for the exhaust brake, do you think there would be a difference with respect to the exhaust brake performance in the standard powerstroke?

I have the same issue , air bags

Was a Ram owner for 25 years and decided to purchase a 22 Platinum F350. I absolutely love the powertrain but the build quality is terrible! Doors starting creaking and you could feel them moving around in the frame. The interior quality is really bad with rattles all over the place. I took my dash completely apart and multiple pieces of plastic weren't hot fused as they should be. The console rattles etc. Ford misses simple things like bare plastic in the cupholders causing everything you place in them to rattle going down the road. I went to look over the new 23's and they are just as bad too. The next time you're in one press on the console and you'll see. Finally got fed up and tracked down a 23 Ram 3500 Limited and the quality difference is staggering with not a single stitch out of place. It feels like a vault going down he road. The Cummins/Aisin combo is a pulling machine and I'll never consider anything else again. Funny how people like to dis Ram quality over Ford when in reality it's the other way around.

Why would the government get rid of emissions standards? There is absolutely no way.

Now tow the 18.5 trailer!

How the ride vs your Chevy with a load?

Ram’s mirrors are small in addition the manual flip up to tow mode sucks!

Who works?

Good morning, JB, great video and nice truck. I will say my Ram’s mileage changes (distance to empty) when I engage the tow haul mode like the Ford. I’ve also watched multiple channels and unless you have cruise control on they say the exhaust break “still sucks” or it’s “gimmicky”. In 2023 Ford and GM have taken the lead for sure. They are making really nice tow rigs. I appreciate the video.

Did you weigh it?

What did the chevy get?

I feel like people that rip on ford have never had one

It’s sad to see this. I am a ford guy. But damn ford has horrible build quality. Just look at the rear bumper alignment. It’s off.

No panoramic sky roof, what's your reasoning for that decision?

Lets make it extremely extremely hot and take to 10% grade

Please race your gasser empty and this towing. Won’t even be remotely close. The gasser is less than 2 seconds slower than the HO 0-60 empty.

Lets run 090

wow 😀

I hate the Fore chime.

Still mad at RAM I can tell 🤪

Well I had to laugh when you said you wanted to race your white truck empty with that truck loaded. I said out loud you will lose lol. Come on man. You’re not winning any races towing a trailer against a truck that’s not towing a trailer. I’d take that bet if you completely empty your trailer too. Hard to judge the towing stability where that truck has a level and the aftermarket tires and wheels. Performance seems pretty good but I mean it’s not any better looking than a standard output 6.7 or a Duramax from just watching the video. Maybe if you used the timing equipment it would show up.

i wont buy a diesel until the emissions is gone i cant have the down time and problems.

Mountain view is not a true test, come on man, go up parleys or daniels and give it a test, a Tacoma can make it up Mountain view with that weight

Your passing cars up hill with 10,000 pounds

😂😂 ram has the ugliest mirrors in the history of trucks
