2023 Ford F350 6.7 high output Powerstroke. 3.31 rear end. Email:Pddieselpower509@gmail.com Insta: PD Diesel Power This video is only for entertaining purposes.
Too me the aisin transmission is a little ridged when in tow haul mode and exhaust brake is working, you know whats under you at all times, the best setup I've ever run .
I would say the feeling of vibrations and overall feeling the load more might be due to the extremely stiff frame on the ford. My personal experience going from a 2015 (older C channel frame) to newer boxed frames ford uses now will transfer more of the vibrations to the cab. I believe it’s due to less over flexing and the frame not absorbing the trailer vibrations. Is this better? I’m not sure. Anyways thanks for the real world feedback.
@Tylers24 ha good one. That section 8 truck don't come close to the 44K pound towing/8K payload that Ford is capable of. Not even mentioning features.. Sad to say Ram couldn't develop a power train in house that could handle real work loads anyways 😂
Always curious why you wouldn’t just pick up some used 4th gen rams for your fleet? You have the mechanics to correct any issues etc. …since you had great success with the 4th gens.
I can tell you from my experience here in Texas. EVERY Ford I have seen with a heavy trailer is sitting low in the rear end vs the Rams seem to still sit level with a trailer. Not saying it’s bad or good but there is nothing worse than passing highway patrol and looking like you are overloaded. Just the perception will get you pulled over and scaled.
Rams coil sprung rear end hangs low when you add some weight to them not to mention since their GVWR is so much lower than ford and GM ram can’t even have a payload number close to what the competition offers.
Ram is the only manufacturer that offers air bags from the factory, so there’s a good chance the ones you see towing heavy with minimal squat have them equipped. With any other brand you would have to buy them aftermarket. It’s the opposite with half ton trucks, rams tend to be squatting easily because of the coil suspension in the 1500’s whereas ford and Chevy do a better job with squatting because they still have leaf springs.
@@Back_door_bandit_98 Not sure where you get your information, but the Ram 3500 is rated even more than the F450. Tow wise not referring to payload numbers. But seriously I rarely see a ram sitting low like the fords. FYI the ram 3500 DOES NOT have coil springs, only the 2500 which I won't argue with that because Ford is the best 2500 to buy but cant come close in the 3500 range.
When I was a supervisor for a railroad maintenance department I was always fighting with the city-boy bean counters over them buying the cheapest f350's they could order. They'd get the lowest gvwr they could get. I'd have to spend department money at the Ford dealer swapping in higher load springs that would have been far cheaper to spec on the purchase order. The office geeks thought as long as it was a F350 they didn't have to consider the payload weight. Always look at load ratings on the door jamb. Some buyers want softer rate for the ride. Smart buyers opt for higher payload ratings
Here’s my take after 20k on my ten speed F150. It’s got way more gears than it knows what to do with and needs. On any scenario, it’s got three or four gears that will work for that scenario. So it gets “confused “ and often can’t figure out which is the best one to use. Does that make sense to you?
Fords are good for 100k after that they become costly money pits. Ford didn’t build the powerstroke for the average guy to be able to work on them. Almost always you have to lift the cabs to work on anything on a powerstrokes and for that I’m out.
the Asin i would say is a commercial trans with commercial tuning. the ford isn't it focusing on reducing bearing load, long term RPM, etc. i personally like the ASIN loaded. but prefer the bandwidth on the ford. at least Manual mode is (or at least last year WAS) manual mode. i know ppl who swap raptor steering wheels to get paddles and run M mode all the time.
I’m in a 2022 F 250 XLT with the 7.3 that is a lemon, numerous problems, the biggest being a leaking transmission at 4,000 miles. It had a crimped gasket from the factory. I’m currently in the process of trying to get it bought back from me. That being said, I drove a 2500 Cummins and the only things I would take from the Ram would be the exhaust brake. The quality in the 2021 Ram Big Horn doesn’t even scrape the surface of my current truck.
I believe he's talking specifically about the 2022 model year. I think in a prior video he said he bought 8x 2022 trucks from Ram and four of them have been a disaster.
@Tdaz250 I'm at 220,000+ miles, and the only problems I've had were with the Cp4 pump, egr vavle, and the egr cooler. Everything else is as strong as the day I bought her. And I tow 30k just about every day.. No way on Earth would I consider buying a Ford.. I don't need those problems
Cummins engine, Alison Transmission, RAM 5 link rear suspension, add the pumpkin link from the TRX, Ford Body, RAM seats, 2006 Kodiak Steering Wheel. NOW THAT IS A TRUCK 🛻
The only way you can drive a Superduty is if you're a short term owner relying on a warranty when it goes bad. And you better hope they don't find water contamination in the fuel system when that CP4 dies, or the warranty is out the window and you're on the hook for $15k. Not a gamble I want to take.
Had my eps rack go out on my 16 ram with 27,000 miles. My truck missed the recall by a month. It's intermittent so its the control board inside the rack which the recall was issued for. 3000+ $$'s if you can find one. All the pickups I have owned in my life have been Dodge/Ram. My next truck will not be a Ram. Their pricing has gotten INSAANE as well compared to the others.
I’ve towed with both and I found the ram 3500 to be way more stable with a load on the back. The f350 felt like it swayed more. Same trailer, same load.
Feel is probably spring travel related which ford has more of but the thing I couldn’t stand the possibility of happening is there’s more 4th and 5th gen Rams snapped in half frames I’ve seen in the last couple years it’s crazy. The snap in half between the cab and the bed if you slightly overload em especially with cab over campers with a trailer or car hauler trailers. The frame weld right behind the cab weakens the frame and it tears which is uncalled for. It’s happened before on all 3 brands if extremely overloaded but it’s been happening way too much on Ram lately
There is no comparison. Even if The Ford did something better he wouldn't admit it. This dude just loves this Cummins/Aisin set up and thats fine. Ford makes a superior truck, and if it wasn't for Ram using other companies for their drivetrain nobody would buy one.
@@Mike-cp1ft he’s made his living from the used to be reliability of ram !! They’ve just let him down tremendously.. I remember when asked his subscribers for suggestions on trading off his older rams and he made the regrettable to upgrade.
service advisor asked me if I towed a lot on the interstate when I asked about if the lifters were a common problem on the newer rams (my truck is a 2022 Ram 3500 HO), when I said yeah... thats all it does. I received my answer by the look on his face.
I had always been a RAM guy, decided to try Ford as well, Had a 2022 F350 dually. The transmission and motor were fine, however, on bumpy wash board roads the two front doors would flex so bad they would rattle against the body - towing 16K it was worse and would happen even hitting bumps on the freeway. My wife said she could see daylight between the doors and body when it happened. Added A Full Ranch hand bumper - the truck road worse with that bumper with vibrations galore. That truck also had a drivers door rattle and several dash rattles Ford could never fix. Went back to a 2023 RAM - Good Luck. There is a video on RU-vid to fix the Ford Door Rattle - BTW - add GM door strikers...You are gonna miss that EB on the Ram as well...the Ford EB on FULL was ok...AUTO mode was useless
Good luck with the ford. I tried one, and back to a low mileage 4th gen. The ford is super comfortable but in my opinion has a way to go to be a truck.
You can buy a Ram on a dealer's lot today, but you will have to order a Ford and wait 10 months until it is built, because people that know trucks want a Ford.
@Mike 79 steering that doesn't clock itself going down the road, Leaf packs that will hold a load up, sealer support, mine was at the dealer 4 times in 12,000 miles problems never got fixed.
@RU-vidsShitSorter Both! I know a lot of people like Ford, and that's fine, whatever works. My service truck is a Ford and has never had any issues at all. I have owned two personally that have been nothing but issues.
And it doesn’t matter how much love you give that ford V8, there’s no way will many see 500,600, 700k plus. It’s still a gas derived V8 block, and tuned to the max, the tolerances are stressed out too much for me. I’d like to see Cummins start throwing a heavier flywheel and slow the revs and horsepower down, and keeping the torque up! 100hp will burn 5 gallons an hour with 70% loaded throttle ! Give me better mpg and torque, you can keep your horse, I don’t need it! 1500rpm is the sweet spot for diesels to burn efficiently
