The TRUTH: Should You Buy a 2023+ Ford Super Duty Powerstroke? High Output Review and Deep Dive 

No truck sold today is worth the sticker price, and the prices just keep going up.

Best thing about that truck is that you can fit 37s without trimming. All companies should do that. Looks so good leveled with those tires.

100% not worth the price, but it's a badass truck.

My f250 2018 lariat tubo diesel 6.7 fx4 all factory led lights, super crew had a window price of $81,000 .since then I add a 6inch lift and toyo mt 37's 17x8.5 wheels. It just turned 38,000 miles, it was my retirement gift to myself...love pulling my boat to the coast 😎 thanks FORD

they're such a beautiful truck but I simply don't understand how ppl can afford them anymore

I walk into the dealership and I'm perfectly okay with the XL package. Then my wife pipes up and wants all the options... So we walked back out of the dealership. 😂

Awesome way to show case this truck. I"m curently test driving a 23/f 250. I found your video very imformative . I didn't know about the 6.7 HIGH OUT PUT ! Thanks !

My truck is my life. I am a contractor. I pull trailers every day. I take my family on vacations pulling my travel trailer. It is my office in the field. 100K+ is a lot of money to pay for a truck but if you use it like I do, I’ll pay that. Beautiful piece of machinery. Kudos to Ford!

I've got 05 diesel, 18 dually diesel, and a 14 gasser. Only owe 15k of total debt in life. I really don't want to take out another morgage on a truck. They are awesome, though.

I love that Ford retains REAL BUTTONS for HVAC and radio controls. It's nice to see you test drive because you're actually 1 inch taller than me. Ram cabs are so tiny. Ford has always made their vehicles fit tall Americans. I actually love this new front end. It caught my eye right off the bat.

Thank you for the in-depth analysis and honest opinion!

Thank you for the review, it’s amazing you keep up with the nice shots of the camera 😮I want this truck now HAGD

Just picked up my 23’ HO tremor and love it! Great looking truck

I've been truck shopping for awhile now. One that has caught my attention is a Ford F450 regular cab pickup. Actually found one about a year ago new and had a chance to drive it. Rode decent for a dually. Plenty of room for me and that's all I needed. Going to price one within the next 2 weeks. XLT trim pkg with all of the bells and whistles. And, the 6.7 liter H.O. Great video and great looking truck.

I love it. I currently drive a 2017 F350 Lariat Ultimate and would love to have another. Right now you have to order them and wait up to 6 months--at least that's what I've been told from my dealer in Denver. I'll actually probably wait tile the end of the year and maybe order a 2024. The color and trim package in this video is ideal!

good points about the price. Trucks used to have a much bigger work-only market. With the recent trend of people liking 4x4s again, this adds a whole new and frankly large money making segment into the HD pickup space. Like you said, the luxury features in these new trucks even at the mid-trim level are wayyyyy nicer than even the top trims from 10 years ago. They really are luxury vehicles wrapped into the platform of an extremely capable truck, and you definitely get what you pay for compared to back in the day. It is just such a shame that the segment has gotten so big in recent years that more consumer grade versions are being produced than fleet trucks, so small businesses that can't afford to put in a large factory order get screwed because there is so much markup since no one carries bare bones work trucks like that anymore.

89K for the F-250 but if you look at a lariat loaded the same in a F-150 its low 70K. The 6.7 HO option is a 12k option as well so a 6.8 gas would put you right around a F-150 price tag which blows my mind.

I have to agree with you on being the most comfortable for tall guys. I've had a 22 GM and 22 Ford. The GM does have the telescoping wheel but doesn't come out far enough for a tall guy and find myself leaning forward for the wheel.

🎉 what a nice surprise! I love you’re videos

Just so you know this video is what convinced me to go with this exact setup. Same everything except iconic silver

That truck looks so good on those tires

Wish you could have compared vs stock version. Hard to tell how much of the greatness was due to the Carli upgrades. Also helpful future video to compare versus the 7.3 gas engine. Overall, great job on the review.

really nice high quality video, glad i came across your channel

Great review!! Truck looks amazing but price tag is crazy. Im sure its worth it but not my time for a 6 digit truck lol

I own all three.....Ram, GMC, and Super Duty, they all have plus and minuses.....and say what you want .....but Ford always sets the bar pretty high.

Just last month I bought myself one! Same as this video the add... Tremor! An amazing truck!!! And the video is spot on!

Awesome video & info !👍⚾️thx

Just built a 2023 lariat 350 dually should be here in August h/o 6.7 diamond white. Just under 95k... my 2019 platinum was 78k at the end of 2018... you're 100% correct we just keep asking for more stuff for us to break 😂

Proud to work for the Kentucky truck plant and be a part of building these icon beastly mean looking trucks. And I'm happy to say Ford still has the truck that looks most like a truck. Because I don't know what the hell Chevy did with their headlights. But I feel like it's a truck trying to be a sports car with those weird, ugly out of this world looking headlights.

My brother picked up a single cab dully with the h o man does the power kick it quick. Really impressed with the new platform

Awesome video. Love the tire rim on this truck.

Great vid. Still waiting on my HO tremor and plan on going with the carli level and toyo mts myself! Great looking truck. Excited to get mine!

Hey Andrew, I know this its off topic, but I'm getting a 99 Ram 24v tomorrow! I'm super excited. What did you do for your headlights on your 99?

Thanks mate I am in the market and I found this a very interesting video you covered it well.

Good looking truck with many creature comforts. CP4 fuel pump is a deal killer. Price point is absolutely ridiculous.

The front end of that pickup is a conversation piece. 😬 😆

Love everything about the truck and headlights are great

making me want to order a new platinum, great video

In terms of serviceability, even the new 6.7s aren't terrible and almost everything can be serviced cab on. The recent exception being that the engine must be removed to remove the oil pan due to the new oil pump location.

I did a build sheet on the Ford website as Ultimate Lariat with the Tremor package with the reg diesel and it totaled up to 76k which is cheaper than the 22 diesel. My 22 Tremor 7.3 gas Ult Lariat came in at 71k.

Nice review.... I had ordered a '22 F250 in Dec of '21 and they said they wouldn't build it in Nov. of '22....... I wasn't sure about the front end and the changes, but I re-upped my order. My '23 Lariat Tremor with the HO 6.7 is being built in July of '23..... can't wait for it.... the front end has grown on me and the steps don't bother this old man at all.... in fact, I need them!! LOL

I drove my pops 22 6.7 the other day and that truck is impressive, I’d love to see how much different the high output feels on the road.

Prices are outrageous for all brands but Ford is still on top of the diesel game. They have been for 5+ years.

Good overall review, though I am basically a Ford guy so might be some bias there. One thing I will take a difference of opinion on is the reliability of the 10R140 transmission. There are a lot of them failing in the 60k-70k mile range. If you haven't heard about it, look up the "CDF bushing". Ford's lighter duty 10R80 has the same problem. Overall the powertrain has tons of potential, but the transmission needs a revision.

Thanks for the info bro 😊

Awesome video

I own a 2022 F350 Platinum in Carbonized Gray. I've had it now 13 months, and I special ordered it with every single option available (minus the $3K winch) and the price tag came out to $96K. Yes it's a high price, but when I looked at other options (different makers), there really wasn't another truck able compete with everything Ford offered. So far after 13 months and 26,000 miles of mostly highway driving, I would do it all again. The only benefit there would have been on waiting for the '23 verses buying the '22 is the heads-up display. All of the other cosmetic changes they added I don't really care for, especially the bed and bumper steps. I have since added a BDS 4" lift and 37" tires which make the truck look more proportionate in size and stance all the way around. This added another $15K . . . and I would have gladly paid Ford $111K ($96K + $15K) if it were offered as a factory setup. But not everyone is willing to pay over six figures for a truck - and I get it. But if you want the best it's gonna cost you. Gone are the days of getting a nice truck for around $60K. Hell, even a loaded F150 is $85K!

I’ve got a ‘22 lariat ultimate f-250 tremor and I love this thing…personally I do not like what they did to the front end of the ‘23 but it’s nice to see they are making some other quality of life changes. Can’t wait to see what they will do to these trucks in the next few years.

I have the new 2023 F350 .. love it... bumper pull 23k

I agree I like my F3506 seven power stroke regular cab XL thanks for sharing

Ford has definitely stepped up their game, especially on the interior. I was sad to see such a nice rig without electronic steps, but maybe the owner opted out.

This is probably the best looking 23’ F350 I’ve seen so far. I absolutely hated the new headlights the first time I saw it, but I’m starting to like it more. You really do need to see it in person. Still trying to figure out if I should go 6.7 diesel or 7.3 gas though. I really don’t want to go through the costs of diesel maintenance and the 7.3 has its own issues with the cam and rollers.

Good content and good presentation. Agreed on all the points it’s a great Truck. Just wondering though, would these trucks be useful for Non-CDL hotshot truckers?

This is an excellent video! Outstanding job! God Bless! Semper Fidelis Bruce.

Very well said at the end about the features and capability. There are completely different vehicles even from 5 years ago.

I purchased a 22 F350 XLT crew cab long bed FX4 6.7 powerstroke with an awesome factory 48 gallon fuel tank! Love the diesel Love the 10 speed Love the 360 cameras And completely agree with ease of maintenance. I came from a 18 ram 2500 Cummins (great truck but overall the ford is a better truck)

I don't like Ford, but with a truck like this on a carli kit 🙃 and the raptor R, it's nice . 🤫

Best looking 23 super duty I've seen. I ordered a 24 F350 Tremor Platinum high output, no sunroof

I have a 2023 f350 and its the 8th Super Duty and its really impressive .

So was the price you said you paid for this truck with the 37s and it looks like a falcon suspension? Those suspensions are close to 10k depending on the level you get. Great looking truck!

Can we get more 2nd gen videos I miss it

Hello there, love the video. I like the way you showcased the truck and made mentioned of all the features that make this truck more expensive than ever before. Is this CJC Off Roads truck?

Thank you for this review. You did a great job in a short time to hit on so many key features. You have gained yourself a subscriber. I agree that the consumer, in part, is to blame for the higher prices. We ask for this technology, which as you point out is one reason that it costs more. Is it worth it? I agree that every truck that is not a basic truck is overpriced now. I have not priced the Ram but have priced Chevy and GMC, and they are only a hair behind this as to how I configured them. So, with that context, yes it is worth it. Do I like paying so much (have not ordered mine yet)? Of course not, who does? One question, did you happen to compare the Lariat with the Platinum and/or Limited, even if just on paper? I know the Platinum and Limited come with the multicontour seats (if they do not get automatically eliminated again for MY2024), and the Limited has the HO as standard, and that one gets the projector headlights and LED lights, but just wondering about your thoughts if you think the additional cost of either of those is worth it (I know there is subjectivity involved in that equation, but you seem to do a good job being objective)? I do not know if you plan to do this, but if you can get your hands on a Platinum and/or Limited, I would like to hear your overall impressions compared to the Lariat.

The horsepower/torque figures on these modern diesels are astounding. Be aware that regardless of power ratings the truck will give you the power the computers decide you can have depending on a number of inputs. If this truck gave peak torque in low range/gear it would break something for sure.

I think Ford heavy duty trucks have always been dominant 😅 Especially when you realize Ram Cummins are inline 6’s sure it’s the best design for diesel engines but it’s still no V8.

Great video

Found your videos on my Recommended page. I'm not really interested in diesel trucks, but I enjoy truck reviews in general. Your videos are really well-produced, filmed, and edited. The B roll is much better than I've seen on most smaller channels and your short intro was informative and interesting. I think the depth of detail and length of the video was great, as well. Your thumbnail was suuuuuper clean, which made me want to see if the video was just as good. The only thing that really stood out to me was your audio when driving the truck. You might look into a lapel-type mic so that there's not such a big difference in your behind-the-wheel audio. Not that you're asking for this feedback, I just felt compelled because so much of this is really top-notch!

The prices are somewhat justified but even stripped down models cost as much as optioned out models a few years ago. There's definitely some over inflation in there, it's just a bit much even with the advancements made.

If you have shorter folks that drive too you also want adjustable pedals but it seems like the manufacturers have dropped that option.

Great review! What's the fuel economy on the 37s?

🔹GREAT VIDEO🔹 Probably the BEST Truck Video and Presentation that I have ever seen ! Greetings from Florida 🌴 14 OCT 2023

I ordered my 2023 F250 diesel (standard) FX4 Lariat super crew in October 2022 and took delivery in April 2023. It cost just under $80K. Do I wish it cost less? Heck yes. At 62, it may be my last pickup I buy. I took a trip from Dallas to OKC and back and got 22.1 mpg over 500 miles which is better than my 2015 F150 Ecoboost 4x4 super crew. I ordered the 2015 and the 2023 from the Griffin fleet team at North Central Ford in Richardson TX. These guys provide the best buying experience of any dealer. They are very knowledgeable and put zero pressure on you. You order exactly what you want. You don’t have to deal with a stupid salesperson. In fact, you go to their building behind the dealership for everything including delivery. You do pay MSRP. FORD raised the price of my recent order $800 and they honored the price of the truck when I ordered it. There were no extra add-ones or F&I guys to deal with. I highly recommend! Oh, and the truck is great too. In October 2022 there were no examples of the 2023 Superduty to actually see. I did not order the Lariat ultimate package ( did not want the sunroof). The regular Lariat interior is different that the ultimate package, so be aware. I have the Baja color interior which is tan with black trim on the edges of the seats. The only thing that bothers me is the fabric like material on the dash and top of doors. Similar to what you would find on an XLT model that has fabric seats. My 2015 Lariat has leather in those interior places. The 12” screen is incredible as well as the B&O sound system (when in surround mode). The digital gauges are NOT good. I hope someone figures out how to customize the gauge screen because it sucks. Fuel, temp, etc are not that easy to read. Sorry for the long post, I tried to include some info not included in the video.😁

Hands down best truck on the market

It does have a certain "old school" appeal to the front. If I had the $$$ I would go as modest as I could and go with 7.3 now that it's had a few years to work out flaws. I really like the 7.3 dually STX.

I've been driving the big three for over 40 years the from 1994 I've driven them professionally I currently have a 2019 Powerstroke assigned to me. I wouldn't have any of the new trucks the Dodges we have can't go out without making a trip to the shop for another repair. My Ford has had tranny problems from the time I picked it up in Texas and drove it back to Idaho. We haven't had a Chevy in a long time and I think that is because of the price. I have a 2003 Chevy Duramax dually the truck is money, reliable and is a monster it hauls my 1140 Artic fox nicely best thing is no DEF!

Ford really is doing good with the looks of these trucks. Luckily the newest motor isn’t a 6.4 debacle.

The more of these I see the more I love my 89 Toyota.

I'd like to see you do reviews on the danali ultimate and high country. I get they are 2024s, but I'd like to know the differences

I spec ordered one for my work truck with a major duty being snow plowing in Wisconsin. I ordered a F350 XLT super cab with the snow plow prep package. With the F350 I no longer need air bags in the front like I did with my old F250 and Boss 9'2" V plow. I had to air bag the rear of my old truck as well to keep the headlights out of the trees when towing skid steers with it. My only complaint with the truck is I was told by the dealership to order the smaller Sync 4 system to reduce the hold up on getting it built since I had waited over a year to even place the order. I never dreamt that the Sync 4 was not going to come with XM capabilities. Apple CarPlay doesn't work for shit in places that cell coverage isn't very good. I assumed if it had Sync I would be able to transfer over my XM subscription since XM has been a part of Sync from its beginning if I'm not mistaken. Other than that I can only praise this truck. I don't have the heads-up display in mine, but I did hear that you will want to watch your following distance because the replacement windshields for trucks with that option are very expensive.

All i see is debt and emissions failures

Wonderful truck, wonderful build, and wonderfully out of reach by 99% of the population. Maybe I can get a used one in a decade, when they’re closer to the working man’s price.

good video, I wonder about the gas 7.3 - obviously the 6.7 is capable but i wonder how the gas motor feels against all that weight..

Andrew, Outstanding Review! One question I have that you didn’t cover… 1) What wheels and offsets are these wheels? Thank, Buddy!

In the early 90s you could get a decently equipt f250 for $18,000. Adjusted for inflation thats under $39,000 today but you cant get a similarly equipped truck for anywhere near that

The prices are down right stupid... Having said that, I do like the '23, but only the interior. I think the 19-22 had the best look honestly.

Amazing truck. Will hopefully find a used one in a year or so

I love my 2022 6.7 Tremor F350, it replaced my 2019 gen2 Raptor. I bought it to tow, if I didn't need to tow I'd get a gen3 Raptor.

Great truck, the only thing missing is quality.

I'm trying to get my commercial fishing license and I really need a truck to tow my boat, but I can't possibly swing it with the prices today. It would easier for me to sell my house and buy a place on the river and use a boat lift then to spend the $100K on a truck + ins, taxes, etc.

Great video! What color is this?

You should do more automotive journalism or a spin off channel given that you are a dedicated diesel guy

I prefer 7.3 diesel

Great review! Correct me if I’m wrong, but Ford dropped Adaptive Steering in all models, not even an option, beginning in ‘23? I agree, was a great option I have on my ‘20 F250 Platinum, which is the main reason I’ve not ordered a ‘23. Not a fan of the bed steps, too Chevy/GM looking and I don’t really have a use for them. Looks like plastic that’s going to fade over time.

You gotta add chapters man.... Keep creating, good work!

Just bought the F350 lariat With the ultimate package Out the door with tax 95. I plan on keeping this truck for a very long time and my last F150 I had for seven years. I hope it’s a good investment

That’s a nice truck but I’ll stick with my old 5.9 Cummins.

No thanks. I’m perfectly fine with my 2018 F-250. I only owe about $12k and I don’t plan on buying these ridiculously priced trucks from today. And also all the cool features that we really don’t need but want, add up.

I have the 2017 xl carpet delete beast version of this truck , color everything... I had made a deal on the 2022 and had mine detailed to bring it in for trade .... I was driving it in the same day it was detailed.... II fell in love with it all over again and called the dealership and canceled the deal . Its now the broken in pair of jeans version of this truck. but this truck is dope.

All of this tubing and wiring looks like an afterthought. It just runs everywhere.

+$100k trucks... Bidenomics for ya
