Ford Trucks Thread WAS:EcoBoost Thread

what I generally find is that nobody gets the mileage that they think they are supposed to.

[SKR]

Ford diesels and good mileage aren't things that go together, in my limited experience with Ford diesels.

Has to be a regen. Maybe turn tow/haul off (maybe it defeats the top overdrive). I just drove 120km with my empty flat deck and got 15.5 L/100

Ah it did say cleaning exhaust here and there while I was doing the trip. It sits most of the year.

metro ford told me 300 for the diaper ...

That's where I bought the Raptor skid plate from and I think it was $205 plus a couple nuts/bolts that were maybe $15.

Getting rid of the Sierra AT4 and jumping back into an F150. Picking up a 24' Tremor this week. What a night and day difference in quality and ride from the GM...

[ExtraSlow]

You gotta post more specs and details than that bro. C'mon.

[CompletelyNumb]

Every time I see an AT4 I think "damn, nice looking truck". Never driven one.

Just wait till your first hard part failure in the ford. Dont worry. It shouldnt take long.

Find the refresh GM interiors to be far better than Ford now. Pre 2023 Ford had a huge advantage. Do agree the GM rides firmer (Ram far better than Ford or GM). Best truck I’ve had is the 3.0 Diesel Sierra. That one was impressive.

All the new trucks are glitchy. Even Toyota has fallen. Pick the one that looks the best to you and go. Actually looking forward to trying out the new Ram with the L6 Turbo.

As blasphemous as it is, I think the Ram I6 will be a sneaky good powertrain.

I think so too. And Ram has the nicest interior by far and the best ride. If you can live with a Stellantis product, quality can’t be any worse than Ford or GM.

Interior is a matter of personal taste.

My undisputable opinion is that the quality hierachy for trucks goes toyota-> GM -> Ford -> Nissan -> hyundai -> FCA

Saw a couple new Tremors leaving an off site storage yard yesterday. They look very nice. Looking forward to seeing pics.

I find the Rams lack nothing in quality, especially inside. They’re well put together. Reliability is hit/miss for sure and for the most part electrical stuff can be a nightmare.

I buy and sell trucks to the US for a living, see it all and then some. My personal favourite is the GM’s, pre-2023 Tundras will be the reliability king for the next 20 years. To be honest there isn’t a bad truck out there. Like I said, pick the one you think looks best and let have at it.

It’s like you are trying to describe an Ecoboost F150

[ExtraSlow]

People say this about the ecoboot, but I don't find it to be the case. Could be me that's wrong, has happened before.

Its my general rule of thumb that lower power engines get better fuel economy when "working hard", but also people hate lower power engines for "hard work".
