My NEXT truck WILL NOT be FORD!

What happens here

The presenter is joined by Zach, who corroborates the F-250's issues. They discuss the truck's extremely poor fuel efficiency, consistently getting around 8.9 miles per gallon, regardless of whether it's hauling a load or not. Zach also points out that the four-wheel drive system is inefficient, often causing tires to spin rather than grip, especially in challenging conditions. The smooth transition between forward and reverse, crucial for tasks like plowing, is described as having a noticeable delay.

Goal: Highlight the Ford F-250's deficiencies in fuel economy and traction system effectiveness.

straight up to that curb and you're kissing that curb cuz you've already got the truck in forward and you're not clunking the truck you're just making it float back and forward in the through the lot it's like dancing it's a surreal feeling it's amazing feeling and it's a feeling that you can't do in this truck cuz it shifts like a freaking Lumberjacks wagon hey what do you like having at Zach what you don't know how to operate a Ford I know how to operate a Ford pretty well so Zach runs this truck almost as much as I do and I was telling I've run probably more than you hauling loads and everything you it's just your lawn ornament right now okay Z how many loads have I hauled North how many events have I gone out plowing in it okay so you tell me what do you think of this truck cuz I here's what I've know it I just wish it was a shorter shorter cab so that way I could turn more that's about it how do you like the shifting on it have you noticed that the shifting has a delay it has almost a 1 second delay when you shift from forward to reverse it it it kind of does but you eventually get used to it which I've gotten used to it yeah but you shouldn't have to get used to it when you're trying to be fast and efficient this truck should almost become an extension of your body not like you're hopping in and operating a rig but like you're actually just moving through space and this vehicle becomes a part of you yeah does that feel like that to you oh yeah it does yeah it's it's when when I first went out on our first event I stalled it a couple times shift in between the gears cuz I that delay but once you get used to it then it's just a matter of letting it do its thing shift and go backwards or go forward well how do you like the transmission in this truck so so agreed how do you like the 8.9 mil per gallon that you get no matter what you're doing [Music] I think I I can burn through a half a tank depending I think if I'm hauling air I think I still burn through about a half a tank going to the cabin and back it's a gaser and yes that that goes without saying but it's the least fuel efficient gas truck that I've ever owned in my life I've I've driven this truck up to the cabin hauling the same load that I've hauled with the Dodge and the Dodge went through a quarter tank and this went through a half a tank yep it doesn't make a difference whether you have a load on or you don't have a load on there is zero fuel efficiency with this truck it's almost like it's…
