Can I Drive a Tuned Ford F-250 Super Duty to the Top of a 12,000 Mountain OFF-ROAD with a CAMPER? 

Lol. Yes

Yes

Yes hook up with him

For what? It's two completely different objectives.

Yes

boobacockaa Exactly!

a nice 5 posted would look sick

Buckstop Truckwear makes the very best. WARN 16.5 with Baja Design lights.

that is what brought me here.

They're building an overland rig

Everything I’ve seen them do is possible with my stock 2018 F250 4x4. I don’t have the camper in the back and my only mod has been putting on stock size KO2s. This past weekend we were up around Ouray and took the passes from Ironton to Silverton. So far the only limiting factor has been the turning radius. Pick decent lines and use 4x4 before you get into trouble and you are fine.

@@ssgk1983 it's also possible with my 290,000 mile 5.4 f250 and I can beat it up because its a 20 year old truck

I see your point about a standard FX4 with more aggressive tyres. TFL Truck wants too show how a stock FX4 can be specced to be tackle almost anything off road, while being good looking and individual as an everyday vehicle. A lot of people like to cutomize and all the alterations on the Super Tremor are functional.

I am not convinced that 7.3 litre pushrod V8 needs an after market tune just to carry a wee camper up hills. When did you boys forget that your truck is not a 2.5 litre turbo diesel. Remember, IT IS A 7.3 Litre gas engine. 🤔

When you regear axles, do the front and rear differential ratios have to match, or can they be different?

@@GreghouseVanBouten its ok if its like 3.91 and 3.73 rear or something closer... its not ideal but ok to have a faster spinning rear gear ratio so that your rears slip... you dont really want to go the other way ... hat said, matching is best if you can afford it

@@GreghouseVanBouten You can do anything you want. If you don't want excessive wear or snappy axle shafts and yokes, you match the ratios. But be careful not to over do it, as you are technically shaving down material on your pinion gears the higher mechanical ratio you run. It's a dance between wheel torque and durability. an F-250 F-350 SRW doesn't have an issue so much as the front is a full float dana 60, and the rear is a Sterling 10.5. You can find about any ratio you want for both of those differentials. Invest in under body protection first, before anything else. Rule of thumb is, if it's old Chevy, modern Ford or Dana axles, you'll be able to find any assortment axle ratio kit for cheap, likely from a decent brand like Yukon. You can also get a lunchbox locker for the front while you're at it. Go cable or E locker for the front, as an auto locker is a pain on road for the front. Toyotas have an okay selection as well, but don't count on it being cheap. Tacomas are currently the #1 mall crawler rig right now, if you haven't noticed all of them running around in full overlanding garb with pristine paint and road worn tires. Because of that, shops that cater to that customer charge more, because they can get away with it.

@@GreghouseVanBouten only I stall matching gear sets. These people telling you otherwise are wrong and drive hondas

@@GreghouseVanBouten They MUST match, otherwise you'll destroy the transfer case or the differentials or axle shafts - maybe even all of it.

When he said 60 psi I was like wtf! That's a freaking bomb! Then I was expecting him to go down to at least 16 but no lol... I run my car at 21 psi constantly 😂

at 9000#, even down to 30psi got the job done. In a tough section, air down as needed.

@Tim W ya I dont know the rd number but south of montezuma, I camp by what he calls poser rock

Was just about to ask this question. Seems like a loop hole if the tune affects the odo as well.

A 28” tire has more revolutions per mile than a 35” tire.

@@SkeetMcRibb exactly

It must just be the guage, otherwise odo tampering??

You mean if someone runs 28's and changes it to 35's, than it will act like it's going slower

Sure in the old days, these new trucks have so much power it really doesn't matter

they work on a budget just like everyone else plus its not like it was the same shop

What gearing would you run with that heavy load ? 3.73?

@@raultorres4603 he already mentioned that they should change to 4.30

jjackman2032 lol

4.30 all day long on a gaser

ronald k , not sure I am following? Would you have preferred them to do all this in completely stock vehicles? Haven’t they already got hundreds of videos doing exactly that?

@@theseb1979 Nah...all I said was, for the average man and his pocketbook, the offroad capability of these two vehicles as they came from the factory is pretty darn good. What TFL has done with these two vehicles has made for great viewing, and of course given them much in the way of filming material. Would have been interesting though to see TFL traverse these same trails with these same vehicles before upgrading them.

Not like a slim wallet or squarespace commercial they are trying to plug here, or something completely unrelated. They are testing a tune for specifically for the 7.3L which is needed for their application.

Me too!

It has 4.30s. Only option with the 7.3 and the tremor package.

It’s not a tremor and they opted for 3.55 gears

Willie Moreno they bought a truck last minute out of dealer stock and either didn’t know better, there wasn’t one available locally or couldn’t be bothered.

I should have just left it as it’s not a tremor 🤣🤣 as the rest was a guess

I was gunna say the same thing. Had me questioning myself

Nope. Bigger tires make a speedometer read slower than actual and the odometer works the same. More miles per hour means more miles. For every 60 miles indicated, you actually travel 66.

Aaron Behind Bars Yeah that’s what I always figured. My truck has 4” taller tires than when I bought it

Correct you are physically going farther but the odometer reads less. Hence 66mph only reads 60mph on the speedo so naturally your odometer would read less as well

@@aaronbehindbars a guy could change some settings and drive 100k miles but sell it saying it only did 60k...

Please stay tuned

Considsring most 4 wheel trailers are light weight truck campers made for 1/2 ton and midsize trucks this F250 should have NO problem carrying this camper. Especially since I hope the suspension changes should have helped their payload a bit.

What trail are they on? Their in CO yeah?

@@mbreeswine Looks like Webster Pass Rd. near Snake River, if the guys before me were right about the region being Montezuma, CO.

Joshua Scharfenberg - you are absolutely correct. I don’t know if most people know this or not. But judging by the comments, I’m guessing not. Lol

Yeah... it always surprises me how gutless big american V8's are, I mean this thing is a freaking 7,3 litre!! I'm used to my buddies 3,6 V6 and it's a freaking powerhouse! Always way more power available than needed

Talk about butt clenching. The Steps are insane.

DS TRUCKS yes, four trucks is better than two

theseb1979 😂🤣

Sounds like you spent a lot of time just backing up and inching forward on Black Bear

The Fast Lane Truck let’s just say it was a 50 point turn on the switch backs

@R J so if he's affecting you and what you watch..... who's the one that's actually butt hurt over it? Yet here you are commenting on a video he's in, so there's that.
