I have watched a good bit of your videos. Test drove a 2500 mega cab limited a few months ago, and a 3500 HO crew cab. Was blown away with the ride and interior. Just traded my '22 F450 for a '23 Limited 3500 HO... Taking delivery on it tomorrow. Fingers crossed I don't have the troubles you did. Love the vids, cheers!
Nifs, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the videos and I’m glad they helped you research trucks! That 3500 HO Limited is gonna be awesome! What a nice truck! I hope your ownership goes smoother than mine, but even then, with how nice they are it does help us give some patience!
You know I’m at 28k miles now, so it’s just about time to change it again. I’ll make sure I pay attention when I change it to see if I get an increase!
YAY, I'm the 1st one to watch your video my friend!! 🤗 🤗 🤗 I seen a couple of cute little ones in your truck wow, wow, wow! Xoxoxo's to them! I have noticed that when I use cruise control on my Mustang he takes more gas. I have often wondered why and how, but, that's just what happens I guess. Very interesting stuff there my friend and a really nice boat! I wish you great luck in selling those condos, keep nice and cool and take care Gavin! ❤ your friend, Didi 👵 🖐
Thank you Didi! Maybe next time I’ll try without cruise control set. It is a nice boat, it’s not mine, I borrowed it 😂 I’m not quite baller enough to have a nice truck and a nice boat, I had to just get the truck!
Apples and oranges comparison. Different loads, different elevations/weather/tires/trailer wind resistance. Diesels do generally get better mileage the more miles are put on them so comparing 27k to 250k miles...? Do a scientific test if you want real comparison.
I think it’s useful to not always do direct apples to apples because in the real world loads are a little different. The first test I did on my truck was with this sale boat just different direction. That old truck pulling the 5th wheel was roughly equal in total elevation. Ups and downs but from Banff to our house is only a +300 ft elevation gain. That truck was pre-def, so I think also makes it interesting to compare the massively bigger load to an easy one.
Also, TFL does the scientific stuff, I don’t have the budget or time to compete with them. 🤷♂️ so I have to do mediocre tests with the intent to show real world variation. Thank you for watching and for the comment by the way, it’s appreciated. In the future I’d definitely like to do more scientific tests.
