I have a 22 f350, I use to hot shot with, bone stock, all original powertrain, driveline, and chassis… the truck has only not had a trailer connected 3k mi since I bought new, I just crossed 300k this morning!
I have a 2017 F-250 6.7 with 300,000 miles, 3 sets of batteries, water pump, AC Compressor, 4 brake jobs. I live in the desert so no rust. Been a great truck!
@@DavidHuber1 Zero! Always topped off the DEF fluid when it hit half a tank. If I was working close in town and didn’t get on the highway that week. I would do a standing regen with the Banks idash.
My 2015 2500HD has 235k miles and has had nothing replaced but brake pads. Batteries say 2015 on them (AC Delco) maybe your 300k were some hard miles, but that actually seems like a pretty needy truck to me…
As well some of the Global Diesel Midsizers have impressive use mileages. Isuzu said that 95% of their Dmax Pickups get 220,000 miles before a major service
Considering the price of these trucks these days the idea of "If you only use it to go to work and back is a waste of the truck." is short sighted. Instead of getting that heavy spec'ed F150 you can get this and 10-15 years down the road not only will the truck hold it's value better but you will be prepared to tow with fewer questions because you know from the start that your truck can handle it. After that just take care of your vehicles. Change the oil on time, put good tires on, and generally stay on top of the maintenance before small things become big and expensive things to fix. These trucks from any of the big 3 truck makers will generally last and hold up well if you do at least the basics.
Do a Ike gauntlet and see if it can still handle it and if there is any degradation in the numbers compared to when it was new. I am sure you have data on this same make , model and , year somewhere in your archives.
Curious how many hours of run time were on the truck as well. I had a 2021 F250 with a 6.2 as a work truck for about a year and a half. It accumulated around 19,000 miles but also just over 2000 hours of run time on the engine. I worked in the utility field, so my truck was my transportation, my office, and a mobile power source on the job site. During one post-storm event, working to restore power, it ran continuously for almost 6 days. In that year and a half, it gave me no trouble…but I expect that from a new vehicle.
I’m a Troubleman for a utility and I have a 550 and the thing has insane idle time truck never shuts off and tons of off road and in town driving plus a boom with pto..I have an 18 and it’s at 150k very hard miles only thing ever done has been the upper oil pan gasket ..I drove Chevy for 40 years but I was so impressed with my work truck I went and bought a 22 f250
The real question is how many injection pumps have been put in it and how many times has the oil pan been resealed? It would be very interesting to interview the previous owner, and see the records of maintenance and repair invoices.
The fuel pump is completely random so I’d say 50/50 it’s even been changed. As far as oil pan. Similar thing. On a 2020. I highly doubt it’s been done yet.
My 2015 215k on it oil pan done twice and same with the cp4 trans started shifting hard at 200k and after the second time repairing the cp4 it kept going into limp mode fought with it for 8months and ended up trading it in on a ram.
You should have tried to unlock the tailgate directly with the key. What it seems to me is that there is something wrong with the wiring since the backup camera also didn't work. So that means that the electronic lock wouldn't work either when you use the remote to unlock the doors.
I've been waiting for a video like this, might even post one myself. Just got a 2017 f250 platinum with the 6.7 @ 200k. Great way to start off in my brand used truck if you ask me 😁
That front shock rubber bushing looks the same as a '23 F250 Xl that was new, on the lot! I couldn't believe it. Both front shocks bushing were bad and it had just been delivered. Wanting a new F250, but that left me questing Ford's QA process.
I see CAN cars and trucks at auction. The auctioneer always announces “previous Canadian”. What’s got me on this truck is the fact it has a USA speedo!? If it was a true CAN truck it would be a kilometer cluster. Curious if it was federalized when brought to CO…just a footnote. Someone chime in …
15:00 an older truck? This is a 2020 it’s 3 -4 years old that’s not old at all , 10-15 yrs old is old .The miles were put on quick,probably has low engine hours,and truck that new would still run good .
A friend of mine has a 2018 F450, he hauls RVs on a 45' trailer. He's over 300k and has had new motor, turbo, fuel system, transmission, emissions and rear end, just to name a few of the major things. Its always something and has cost him a small fortune. He has always maintained the truck at the stealership. Cost of repairs, failures, downtime almost put him out of business a few times. I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole.
Funny,I know someone that owns a fleet of these for hot shot transport across Canada,claims it is the best model of truck for the job.He's tried them all
Interesting test. But the results seem to be a bit at odds with my 2017 F350, 6.7 Diesel, SRW, 4wd, Crew Cab. with less than one tenth the mileage (33,000). Despite very light and infrequent towing, conservative acceleration, and almost exclusively highway driving, the DPF sensor needs replacement and there's an open question about the DPF filter. The sensor will cost $1200 and if the filter also needs replacement, the total bill could be $4500. I was not expecting these things to fail with such low mileage and light highway use.
I gotta admit, I kinda hate when you guys do the same faces in every thumbnail. I’m not sure who told you this is needed to get views, but it’s not. Just the contents of your content. Please just do normal thumbnails!!!!!!
Now, that's a review! Much more useful than those 1 year 10K mile ones littering RU-vid. Thanks for doing this video. Would love to see more; e.g., a godzilla with 100K miles.
Yes, I agree, what they consider long-term (1 year) is not my long-term. I just sold a 1987 F150 with the 4.9 300 in-line 6 cylinder with over 500,000 miles on it, regular maintenance & 1 transmission, now that's long-term.
@@larrysmith6797 If you haven't seen it already, head over to TFLclassics. Aundre interviews a guy with a heavily worked 2000 F-250 diesel with 500K miles.
Obviously a hot shot truck, fuel cell in back and that high of mileage, this truck probably had a hard life despite its condition so to the areas you mentioned the truck was running those guys tend to over load everything, not much highway patrols in those rural areas. One example for you to see is Danger Industries channel, I wouldn’t own one of his trucks after he had it.
@@Outdoor_MED basically a truck that lives on the road hauling anything from machinery to parts or anything that needs shipped privately or for a business, something a regular Joe can start up to make living.
A truck that is shot (most likely with double barrel shotgun) and left on the side of the road in hot climate (usually in desert heat). Hot shot truck.
Very encouraging Andre, I have the exact 2020 F350, 6.7L Powerstroke except mine is a single rear drive. Mine has only 67K so hopefully plenty of miles left to go in the future. Well done!
Those buttons on the front are probably for a 'winter front' that blocks airflow so it can actually reach proper operating temperature in the winters up north.
Yeah,becauve in the winter, if we don't plug our diesel,it don't start, and the "winter front" help very much. It's why in Quebec, gas truck is popular, because it's always start in winter
The Truck was fitted with a winter front for the winter and a bug screen for the summer. The Winter front just speeds up engine warm up and helps keep the engine at operating temps and helps to minimmize heat loss from the cab. This truck was used just in the Prairies where salt is not used on the roads in winter, calcium cloride brine is used in its sted. If it was an eastern truck from the rust belt is would be heavily rusted on the under side.
We worked, in the RV business. In Elkhart Indiana., delivered Fifthwheel, and pull bumper trailers, all over the US, and Canda. We had a 2018 f350 dually. In less then 2 years, we put close to 500000 miles on it.
wow... 3 years old and the front end of the truck screams dated styling! Sorry to anyone who bought this ugly thing. There was a station wagon on Lampoons Vacation that has the same clunky light structure.
To put such high mileage on it must have spent most of its life on an interstate or equivalent that means top gear and not a great deal of strain on the engine or transmission you could argue it’s had an easy life
It has a well-used gooseneck hitch, that indicates it was towing a heavy 5th wheel trailer, as they are not used for light hauling. So, it was not an easy life. Everything would have been strained constantly.
@@skrsyshighway life is easy, even when towing a trailer. It will only wear the trans a little because when cruising down the road you are barely shifting, it will wear certain gears slowly
They need to make relationships with long distance hauling companies. I worked with a scaffolding company and we would take our scaffold states away and put tons of miles on trucks and always took them to shops for anything that wasn't changing a blown tire on the road Edit: dud
Have 246k on my 2011 F350. These 6.7's motors are beasts and transmissions are just as good. Buddy has 2016 Chevy 2500 gasser with 76k just replaced his transmission 7k!
I’ve never had an issue buying a used car with high miles. They’re normally cheaper and have been maintained. Also I drive a lot so if I pay more for a low mileage vehicle it will eventually have high miles. So why not start with a high mile vehicle to begin with?
I have a 2018 ram 2500 I have 4hundred fifthy thousand miles and everything is original except two things. I got the trans rebuilt last year and I just put a new fuel pump in yesterday. Other than that still rides like a Cadillac.
My dad's 2017 F350 Lariat 6.7 has 72k on it now, he's owned it since new. Only issue he's had with it is a recent one when the truck started leaking diesel fuel but he got the upgraded fuel filter from Ford.
ok you have a fuel tank that had the pump and hose removed.. and try pushing in on the tailgate and then pull the handle to open it.. i would think you have been around pickups long enough to know this stuff...
My only caveat is high milage over a short duration is not the same as any milage over a long time. Time is far harder than milage. I have to tell myself they are meant to be driven. And if you don’t use them they atrophy. Seals dry, swell, etc… metal corrodes with exposure to moisture as well as acidic compounds in oil. Which is why having many oil changes in a short time of three years high milage will mean your flushing those contaminates where my 4 year old 40k truck sits with those compounds in the oil for a long time where they can act against the truck instead of being cycled and flushed
Oh the Ram fan boys must hate this Best truck I've owned was the f350 a bought w 540k kms for cheap$ And it was 6.0 wrecked it on black ice at 900k Eat that haters😅
I have a '17(DRW) with 431.000...Transported RV's for a couple years...The only thing that I replaced was the radiator, because the top where connects to the upper hose, cracked...Besides that...Oil changes...4 batteries...filters...all fluids replaced well before the "limit"...My daily driver now(40 miles r/t)...Very happy with it. I work in a truck repair shop, and I have seen the same truck that were neglected, that did not last 100k....Blown engines, turbos, transmissions..."Don't expect much of it, if you don't take care of it..."
All my ford's has had 300,000 + miles, & that's with just normal maintenence. I had 1 that had over 500,000 miles on it, I sold it & still see it running around.
It would have been nice if you had information on what was serviced/repaired. Instead of assuming. Carfax is not the be all end all. They aren’t always correct. I do like watching the channel though.
Those fog light probably cracked because of heat from the bulbs in them. The ones I had on my Ford were the same design and they cracked in the exact same way. I had to replace them with aftermarket lights.
With that kind of mileage, it all comes down to the maintenance. I'd really want to see the service history before shelling out decent money. It could be a very great truck for another 275k miles... as long as it was taken care of.
Incorrect. A truck that stays running typically means there's a lot of idle time and idle time wears out camshafts, lifters and oil pumps. Though the engine has 300+ doesn't mean a catastrophic failure isn't right around the corner if there was a lot of idle time. That's why government vehicles such as police vehicles are often sold with 150-250,000 on the clock because more often than not the camshafts on the engines are completely wiped. I've bought more than my fair share. My best purchase was a 1995 F350 7.3 crew cab long bed 5 speed 4wd. It was a previous transport truck for highway crews and had 285 on it and had a broken leaf spring. Once fixed, I ran it for 100k without issue. The trick was that the truck was driven long distances and had almost no idle time between stops. I know because it was assigned to my neighbor for 20 years from the state and he bought it after it was retired and he retired a couple years after.
@@alpha2gproject783Yeah, gov't vehicles do spend a lot of time idling... but vehicles like what is in this video are more commonly associated with the hotshot market. Those don't sit idle, they run... 10's of thousands of miles a month!
I would love a video with manufacturer talk, real-world testing, and comparison of the different diesel fuel. With D#2, B20, HPR, and 95% Biomass, it is not clear as to what is best or excepted by the manufacturer. With injector failure, filter clogging, the need for additive, and lets not forget the dreaded CP4 failure. What is the best?
I see it says Rimbey Ford on the Carfax as selling dealer, I'm a half hour from Rimbey it is a farming town, with a great little Ford Dealership. I will day thst that truck is a pin for an Alberta Truck our roads, salt, and extreme winters really test the quality of trucks, my brother owns a large oil field services company, we have tried all trucks and continue to buy Dodge and GM however the Ford makes up for 99% of the fleet and for the forseeable future we will run only Ford Superduty trucks.
My Sister and Her Husband Bought a 2017 GMC 3500 diesel. Here in Ottawa. They moved Travel Trailers around from the Manufacture in USA to places in Canada. There GMC at year two had 240 000 miles. The Deff System let go and cost almost 40 grand to fix. They moved to A semi with a flat bed. Because the little truck cost to much per mile to run. Cost over time was to much for them. The External tank. Most guys here in Canada use the Tank to fill there own truck in the USA.. because Fuel is so costly here in Canada. Running commercial like that you do everything to save a buck.
I have a new challenge for you guys. I live in Palmdale, CA and I feel you should try the Highway 2 challenge from Palmdale to Pasadena and back to Palmdale. I believe you will find it challenging. Thanks to you guys videos and input I was able to make an informed decision. Yesterday I bought a 2023 F-250 STX FX4 with the 7.3 Godzilla and I love it so far.
that's CDN, based on sale date it was $57,970 USD MSRP on June 12th 2020. (68,608.90 USD today). $34,995 feels like ALOT for THIS truck. that only .12/ mile in deprecation
@@Lq32332 You gotta think about 2000 miles per week every week, that's 300 miles per day every day of every week. My thinking is only a mining vehicle would get used like that
@@SirNecro they say @0:50 it started in Alberta and went across Canada multiple times- so hotshot. Not to mention, mining trucks don’t get near the freeway miles a hotshot is getting daily.
Last place I worked at had 1 customer that was a horse hauler. Traded trucks (F-350s) around every 90000. In the almost 4 years I was there, he was about to trade the 5th truck. A different guy that delivered horse trailers had a 2018 F350 with 340k on it (he retired just before I left in 2022) and he had sold his other truck a year before that was a 2013 with 640k on it.
meanwhile my dad owns a lemon. Basically this truck but only 26k original miles, bought it brand new, damn thing has had a power draw, and the dealership has had to replace the rear end on it twice because it keeps failing.
You get Toyota Hiluxes here with no problems with 240, 000 miles.( converted from kilometers) So cannot see why a near 7 litre diesel would have problems?
