Would appreciate seeing a realistic towing video with your 6.6 gas and that trailer to get a fair idea on Mpg. Even a video with your smaller camper that's shown at the end of this video. Love the content you put out and keep doing what you do

@nickfruge5639 Год назад

FYI (and I’m sure someone else mentioned this) - The light test continuously runs through signal lights/brake lights/etc so you can physically go outside behind the trailer and check them….. rather than putting your turn signal on manually and going check… having someone else check.. etc

@rickysafer2895 Год назад

I really like the camera view of when you are turning, it’s really clear in the screen. Nice feature. Thanks for the videos JB.

@adamscoggins230 Год назад

I'm a GM fanboy so I'm anxious to see the real test of towing your 5th wheel up a steep grade with the gasser. I'm curious to see if it will maintain speed while climbing a 6% or steeper grade. I towed my 8k travel trailer with a 21 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi and it did well pulling a steep grade but the engine was screaming the whole time and got 8.5 mpg. Also, I think it would be beneficial to show off the trailer light test in more detail. It will ruffle the RAM/Ford fan boys feathers even more when they see that you can test every trailer light without having to walk back and forth several times.

I can tell it’s pulling a little harder, I noticed the same thing when I pulled the black trailer and the 0-60 was better than the L8T/6 speed hooked up to the trailer as well. I chose to be positive this time around 😂

@SurelyYewJest Год назад

Ya even with the bed camera it's not always easy, just easier. Not sure if I like Ford's implementation where they have a target line that you visually line up to where the pin should be, or GM's where they just let you see the pin so that a line isn't blocking it. I don't know how Ram handles their bed targeting.

@JB_WhoWork Год назад

Nope I rarely ever use it anymore, it actually throws me off as you saw in the video lol 👍🏾

@SurelyYewJest Год назад

@@JB_WhoWork It would probably be best to have the camera at the height of the front bed rail so you can SEE the pin and line it up clearly. Or, mount the camera inside the rear window and get most of the same effect as having it in the CHMSL. As for my 5W hookup, I get the truck as lined up as possible by eyeballing the rear mirrors, then turn on the bed camera for a basic guide, but turn and lean back to look through the center rear while adjusting steering with my left arm as I back up. That works best for me.

@cliffordmorgan4222 11 месяцев назад

Try launching the truck with tow mode on and no trailer. My Titan had a slower launch but did better in tow mode. Regular operation the trans is looking for efficiency, but in tow mode it delivers more power.

@byronconley9398 Год назад

That’s the same thing you said about your high output Ram with the Asian transmission

@matthewanderson9912 Год назад

Nice video. So there’s really no reason for the truck to have any torque management. The only difference between the 2020-2023 and 2024 is the 10 speed transmission. From everything you can see they are the same transmission. I would assume they changed the torque converter but who knows. As for the 11.5” ring gear, I doubt that being an issue because that’s what the 2500 diesels have. Plus it’s what the gas trucks have had. Interesting results though. It could just be where you have better gearing and being under a load it’s just letting the engine stay in the power band more. I’m waiting for when you can test drive another 2024 and see if you can tell a difference.

@lindseycward Год назад

I believe the gm 10 speed is shifting into all 10 gears . Each shift it momentarily cuts power . The six speed cuts power less The ford skips gears when it isn’t under load .

@thunderhorse689 Год назад

Have you had the issue where sound completely cuts out (no audio inputs work, turn signals make no noise, etc.)? I have a 2024 AT4 HD gasser and had this issue pop up around 450 miles. It happened after I used remote start for the first time, so I'll have to test to see if that causes it... Love the videos, though. Keep 'em coming!

@UnravelingMysteriesX Год назад

How are you enjoying your AT4 HD gas? That's what I'm leaning towards. Would be coming from a F250 Diesel towing a 9,000lb trailer one weekend a month.

@thunderhorse689 Год назад

@@UnravelingMysteriesX I love it so far. I drove an F250 with the 7.3 and it just felt like a tank compared to the GM vehicles. Steering and handling is so much better. As JB says, the 6.6L gas isn't super fast, but it's so smooth with the new 10 speed. The interior is great as well with the refresh. Only issue I've had is that one instance of the sound cutting out, but restarting the stereo fixed it and it hasn't happened again. Fingers crossed... But I think the gasser would be perfect for your use and that size trailer. We tow a fair amount in the summer, but not enough to justify the ~$10k more for a diesel (with all its maintenance and emissions nonsense).

@JohnMarley4 Год назад

I have an at4 hd gasser on order and coming from an lbz duramax. Excited for the new truck but also going to miss my current hd

@TermiteBenny Год назад

With the 10 speed that Chevy would definitely work better with 4.30 gears. It needs to utilize the gears more. Watching your acceleration it’s running each gear out for a long time. With lower gear ratios it would run each gear out quicker and shift up more. Right now your using 1-5 gears a lot, I’d like to see it using 1-8 gears saving 9 & 10 for highway cruising

@slaytanic921 Год назад

While towing, I’d prefer the 3.73 with the 10 speed. It’s better for cruising down the highway with a load. My 6 speed 6L90’s 5th and 6th gear are nearly identical to the 10 speed’s 8 and 9. I typically stay in 5th, even while cruising at 70-75mph. If the road is flat, the truck will shift into 6th. All the extra gears are better for climbs or extra power at certain speeds.

@matthewanderson9912 Год назад

It would be a negligible difference (if any) in a 0-60 run and at highway speeds it wouldn’t make any difference. With this 10 speed, the 3.73 has a shorter final drive ratio compared to a 4.30 if you shift the 3.73 one gear lower than the 4.30. The final drives are similar, but the 3.73 will be a little shorter. Now at highway speeds there’s a point where a 4.30 just won’t downshift past a certain gear (it seems to be 4th in every kind of test I’ve seen) and in that situation the 3.73 would shift down the extra gear and end up with slightly shorter gearing. I do wish they’d offer a 4.10 or 4.30 for the instances it would be a benefit (slow speed situations like an extreme grade or pulling something that is good and stuck) .

@matthewanderson9912 Год назад

@@slaytanic921they are identical. 5th and 6th is 0.85:1 and 0.67:1 in the 6 speed and 8th and 9th in the 10 speed.

@slaytanic921 Год назад

@@matthewanderson9912 the 4.10 or 4.30 would be really ideal for moving heavy things around town or the farm. As far as the RVs , 3.73 all day, IMO anyway.

@matthewanderson9912 Год назад

@@slaytanic921 absolutely. When 1st gear is all you’re going to be in the 4 something would be better for sure. Even back when 4 speed autos were all we had then yes, the 4.10 was necessary so you could make any kind of speed towing on grades. But when the 6 speed autos came out it really changed the game for gas engines and made the 4.10 not as important. And now this 10 speed has just about perfected it in my opinion.

@UnravelingMysteriesX Год назад

2024 Ford's tailgate will go up with the push of a button :) Still considering the shift to GM though. Really like the look of the AT4X.

@SurelyYewJest Год назад

The surprising thing about Ford's electronic up-down tailgate is that it doesn't compensate for bumper hitch setups that are too high. I just watched a 2023 F-450 press video where the Ford engineer had to hand-stop the tailgate from dropping all the way because their test pintle hitch would have put a crater in a brand new Limited truck's gate. I get that adding a stop feature would add more weight and complexity, but it could at least fire a warning and refuse to drop the gate if an obstruction is detected, kinda like a garage door.

@jeffs2809 Год назад

I think the performance “gains” with the trailer are psychological. Going by the video timestamps, your 0-47 was roughly 20 seconds. Maybe tow/haul is helping it hold gears longer & sounds more aggressive. Regarding torque management, I don’t see why it would be more active when empty vs towing, it seems they would need to protect the drivetrain most when loaded. Also, I’m reasonably sure, GM marketing (maybe just fanboys) have touted the fact that their trucks (diesels at least) don’t use torque management like the competition does.

The clutches, convertor, solenoids are all different part#s. They are for a lighter duty load. Remember the diesel trans has to be rated to at least 1200lb ft of torque. I was thinking no way are they going to that same trans behind the gasser. And he confirmed it. Totally different part #s and he also mentioned less clutches. I hope this helps.

@diamondhead203 Год назад

@@Billybob50119 well, it’s fine if you plan on replacing your truck often. The main factor to consider is that gas engines even within specs is their longevity. Gas engines when towing after around 100k-150k typically need major engine repair. Where your typical Diesel engine pulling within its specs …you’re looking at 250k-300k miles before major work. For $10k more when buying a truck….you’re getting more power, better fuel, and better longevity out of your engine. I’m not sure why everyone is afraid these days of diesel engines. If you stay on top of your maintenance…..let the engines regen properly…they are way more dependable than gas.
