@big daddy the weak spot is the transmission the 4R100 was kinda crappy.
@EternalResonance creek? Like a small river runs through them?
ford suspension system trucks creek way before chevys. chevys body rusts waaaay less that fords. fords in winter weather rust fast.
@big daddy only about 1 million...
how many miles will you get out of this engine if its maintain took care of???
Hoovie my 6.0 went 210,000 miles before it had serious issues. At that point it had a head gasket leak (surprise surprise) so I studded and O-ringed it and I expect another 200k out of it. That's probably the crappiest ford diesel ever and it has treated me pretty damned good. They aren't that bad.
I've owned 2 7.3s (2001-2002), 1 6.0 (2005) and 1 6.7 (2012). Both of my 7.3s had 6-speed manuals, which I loved. My 6.0 had the 5-speed auto which was a decent trans but I hated the fact I couldn't select 4th gear. Of course my 6.7 had the 6-speed auto which was (is) a great trans. No issues with either 7.3, decent power. Ford had sorted the 6.0 by 2005 so it was actually my favorite (of the 3). I towed a 30' trailer with it A LOT and it did a great job. I only had the 6.7 for a year and never towed with it. Great power (ONLY 400/800 that year) and of course the fantastic 6-speed auto. Despite my previous experience with Power Stroke diesels I WOULD NOT buy a new 6.7 diesel. TOO much power and TOO expensive.
My 2011 6.7 has 230k on it and there are millions out there since 2011 they have 200k on them and still selling for 25k plus. These trucks are easily 500k truck. There was a 2011 few years ago traded in with 840k on it was a transport truck.
Common engine issues including the engine and all components
I'm a huge 7.3 fan and me and all my family members own a 7.3 powerstroke turbo diesel. But we also own a 6.7 and without a doubt the 6.7 powerstroke is the new improved 7.3 with a SHIT TON more power😂
“Nowadays it’s like an S-class” 😅😅😅
Wow, such intelligence displayed.
I'd always go for one that will run over one with all the fancy gadgets that you don't really need. I don't need a huge screen to stare at in the dash, my seats to massage me or the truck to tell me when I can get over into the next lane or not and all this BS that has driven the cost of vehicles up. As long as she runs good and the heater& A/C blow I'm good to go.
This dude doesn’t have even a slight clue what he’s talking about.
7.3 litre diesel probs get 120 bhp at best. What are you Americans doing with such big engines and such small output
Ha! Daddy doug. I kept on not subscribing and skipping to the carmax bid....that ALMOST made me subscribe. Almost.
What was the cost to do the glow plugs?
I’ve been selling fords a year seen a lot of hate between manufacturers, but they all make good trucks. If you’re going to buy a Ford or any make, buy it from Athens Ford. They have a lifetime powertrain warranty on all their new inventory.
I got a basic barebones Ford Ranger and that’s why I love it. That F-250 is going to break down in at most a few years, and I don’t even want to call it a diesel truck. Also, my truck has less potential for computers to fail.
6.0 after an extra 20,000 hard earned cash rules the roost!
Check out my custom bed build for a 7.3 watch till end for final product lvworld.info/face/video/gtbIiYC1jsagr64
This is hilarious. It looks like these guys have been shrunk next to those enormous Fords 😆
Comparing that F-250 with an S-Klasse is like comparing apples with grenades.
Are we watching a review on a truck by a dude that thinks the 6.7s are twin turbo? 😂😂
The 6.7 powerstroke isnt twin turbo Ed 😂😂😂
power power power.....more things to break...
17 minutes of that short guy trying to justify that truck.
I’ve had my ‘97 E350 7.3 van for 2+ years, bought it for $1,800. I’ve put considerably more in for repairs, but none engine related! At 350,600 miles, the engine is rock solid. And it hasn’t had a proper oil change the entire time I’ve had it. But that is on the agenda!
Thats far from the only good ford ever built. There are significantly better fords in existence
I wanted a 7.3 Excursion. I also wanted better than 8mpg in my area and only tow a small boat and trailer. So I bought a Chevy with the smaller engine. The Excursion is the only Ford SUV that is still worth a shit, but, is also overkill. Not that it doesn't make my pecker stand up.
Lmao, the 2018 Ford has a flickering dash and the check engine light on. At least the Chevy version will run for 400k miles with that light on.
This Excursion is the best truck Ford has made since the mid '90's.
Nothing beats the 7.tree turbo whistle
We have a 2016 6.7 in a bus with 350,000 miles. The biggest issues we've had; 2 turbos have went bad. One at 200k, then at 275k Had to reseal vacuum pump (bolts get loose on it) and oil filter housing. Thermostats started to break apart and stick open around 320k Accessory pulleys, main water pump, and tensioner done around 250k 2 constant codes, Bank 1 lean, SCR conversion effeciency Transmission still going great, and overall not bad reliability other than the turbos going a little earlier than normal.
What twin turbos? Just one on my 2000 7.3 liter powerstroke. He must have been thinking about the new one while driving in the old one. Yes the 7.3 has its defects here and there like leaks at the turbo pedestal is a common one. You do your maintenance on your truck it will last you along time over 300,000 miles so far runs like a champ. I hate these new vehicles so many sensors and features that don't need to be on there to make a vehicle start up and drive. Vehicle manufacturers are making the newer vehicles too complicated for the average person the work on it so they hope you bring your vehicle to be service at their dealership. Thats is their goal. Get yourselves a dependable diesel truck 4x4 prefered. These new all electric vehicles are going to take a while before you can travel across the country. You can't even travel across Califonia not enough power recharge stations. Have a good day everyone.
When he said i don't have to shut it off at the drive threw i laughed. I love 7.3s I right now own a low miles f350 4door duelly has the lariat package. Clean as new inside and out. Got it for a steel at 15 thousand. And yes I cut it off in the drive threw. Several times bc when im close to the order speaker I dont want to disturb the person ordering or at the window paying. Dont want to be the ass hole with the loud truck.
I bought an F250, XLT, 7.3 in 1997. In 2020 it has 117K miles on it, and never has had any corrective maintenance required. Just normal servicing. The 7.3 was most reliable diesel ever produced that I know of. think the International 7.3 dump truck engine was the best idea Ford ever had.
The 6.7 cummins is a rock
The 6.7 is pretty reliable just DPF is a little faulty
The 2018 f-250 only has a single turbo
Well these guys are annoying... love my 7.3 I’ve had 6.0s,and a 6.4 they were both turds on wheels
6.0 is great. Got an ‘06 Ford F-250 and it’s great.
I love how both of them admit that the $80,000 new truck is a 125,000-150,000 miles truck and they both seem ok with that, like it's acceptable. That's one of the biggest problems with new vehicles today. Manufacturers are building crap with gadgets instead of building longevity... because people are stupid enough to buy them. People are dumb enough to believe a $500-$1000+/mo vehicle payment is a never ending, modern fact of life. Oooooof.
Check engine light came on surely after leaving dealership.🤔 My daily driver is a 2002 Ford F350 dually with a 7.3 l diesel. Outfit it with a utility body and rolls at 14500 pounds. We have 5 6.7 l Turbo diesel Fords where I work. My truck is more reliable.😁
U said the Lamborghini was reliable?
The worst thing I did was trade in my 7.3 f250 for a 07 6.0 that thing spent more time in the shop then the road then I got a 6.4 that thing would break down on the road at least the 6.0 made it back to the shop then I got a 2013 6.7 and that truck never brakes down but the 2017 power stroke has a lot of electronic issues so I got a L5P duramax and that truck is a beast but I still have my 2013 6.7 it’s a grate running truck hands down
Wow really a Ford truck not reliable come on yall really going to believe a guy who thinks BMW is reliable lol
Best ford ever made ? And the only good ford? Uhh the 300 cubic inch inline 6 is the best engine ever made
It is not fast lol
6.7 three times the power and three times the trouble. the 7.3 is a dinosaur but they last forever and far easier to maintain. i bought a 6.7 and i miss my old 7.3. 6.7 far too overpriced
You're gonna regret selling that Excursion!
Whoa whoa whoa fords do last forever u just gotta pick the right ones 7.3l trucks 4.0l rangers 4.6l crown vics 6.2l trucks all super reliable. But yes ford made some lemons 5.4l was the biggest piece of crap ever made
Did you Note the Upper radiator hose on your 7.3 is the wrong hose it should also be behind the serpentine belt instead of through it
Check out the rumble app, you can double your mint muny.
And I can’t like your channel anymore buy more fords
My cousin has an amg gtr and it’s been in the shop more then it’s been in his garage
I had a dpf go on on a Ford. It caused so many other problems, it spent weeks in the garage and a huge bill. Sold it and bought a petrol Honda. Life is now good 👍never again
Well My last 7.3 in my F550 convinced me to go back to gas when I bought my 2019 1st 2 months I had the 550 Broke a rocker on and stuffed a push rod Into the engine and could never get it back, Replace the motor And then changed rockers Once a week, I guess better than the alternative breaking something more serious the rockers acted like fusible links between the valve train As soon as they see over a 150 horsepower they pop hahahaah....ohh And that bumper guard is absolutely hideous and destroying that truck Yes I know my opinion
The 7.3 is indestructible
LOL the 6.7 is single vgt turbo
In love the 7.3 but man they are noisy and gutless!
True, the 6.7 is better anyway. I’d rather spend my money on a deleted 6.7
my 7.3 has 285 k. runs great. pull camper and trailer. Whoot phukinWhoot so kisss my limited slip
“I see it gets 12.8 miles per gallon” dude who believes the lie o meter up top...these guys have no idea what they’re talking about...I mean come on...Wikipedia lol
Expeditions are better lol
new truck lasts if you take good care of them
That 7.3 will tops go for 20k
The reason new ones suck is because the old ones were bad for business
We service a fleet that has dozens of 6.7 Powerstrokes. Many with over 500k on them. Not all new Ford's are junk. 7.3's were bulletproof, but they were absolute pigs stock. I've owned a couple of them so yeah I know... Worst thing about the new ones are EGR, DPF, and DEF systems. But other than deleting, Cummins and Duramax all have the same crap for emissions..
Well, let’s see...sun roof is going to break,death wobble will hit before 20k miles,hopefully you don’t get any crappy fuel and wipe out that $10k fuel system...and on and on...
Chip it, it will toss you in your seat a kill the 6.7. 3k into the 6.0, best engine and trans on the market.
@American Truck Nation As you know, International is one of the largest engine builders in the country. 6.0 has issues without a doubt. In the scheme of things, it's a cheap fix. My point is two fold: Buying a new diesel today, if you plan on keeping, it will be cost prohibitive. 150k is what is anticipate to bvv e the death sentence as the cost to maintain and repair the emissions will be too costly. 6.0, now 130k under my watch is flawless. Howrver, you have to permanent fix the inherent problems. Buy a 6.0 today for 15k, throw 3500 bucks into it, you have a relatively inexpensive truck that will go 1M miles. You can chip these motors without head studs, not past 28-30 psi boost. Truck today throw on all this tech glitz and have substantially jacked the prices up. 50k/60kfor a gas truck? Not for me. 71k loaded desiel King Ranch? Smoking crack if you ask me. I have 190k on the clock.
6.0 good? Said no one ever! That is the reason it was discontinued as fast as it was! The 6.0 fell apart! They have no resale because of how bad they are! The 6.0 and 6.4 were the reason Ford ditched navistar!
All you had to do to 7.3.was.do banks turbo upgrade it came.with a tune and full exhaust. Once you did dat you gained another 100hp.
And push start is not new it goes alll the way back to the 30s
Stupid ass ford bring back the excursion with a new upgraded 7.3 single turbo. With 500hp.
Cummins 7.3 was the best diesel engine all the way up to 2007
I take the old school 7.3 over this new shot anyday i rather ad all the bells and whistles.
That ia beautiful machine
the 6.7 is easily the best powerstroke to come out. when they are deleted they are miles better than the 7.3, the 6.0 and 6.4 are just complete shit engines. the 7.3 is a legendary tank but horribly slow and horrible fuel consumption. the 7.3 makes 450 torque while the 6.7 makes near 1000 torque. its not even close. i love the 7.3 but the 6.7 is god tier compared to a 7.3. Also these new 6.7s have already seen a million miles with no issues, also they are single turbo not twin..
I had one of those that exploded flew up 15 feet in the air.
Did he just say 6.4...reliable..
I own a 6.7 Scorpion Ford and and 7.3l Turbo diesel. I’ll say this that 6.7 is a little fucker man. Once that Dpf shits it’s an overhaul. I’ve since deleted it and the power Ford was hiding underneath that EGR is isnane. It’s literally a whole new pick up. Now my 7.3 I’ve since tuned it and upgraded turbo and straight piped and it’s safe to say that fucking thing will not die. Its incredible how much Ford put into the 7.3 early 2000’s. I’m pushing 350k miles and I wouldn’t hesitate to drive cross country with it. The 6.7 idk man you really have to keep an eye on it.
Only one that’s not worth having is the 6.4. The rest will last for a long long time if maintained properly. 6.0 was a headache but can be made bullet proof and is one of my favorite powerstrokes.
As soon as the warranty is out you will dump it. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I'm a bit of a Ford guy, but only until the late 80s, the 90s and newer I see as absolute junk...
Confused about the hate for the 90s trucks. The 90s trucks through 1996 were the exact same trucks as the 80s ones with a different grill and headlights.
Im pretty sure this man just said fast and 7.3 in the same sentence... trust me that 6.7 smoooooooooookes it, and remeber how much the truck ur driving weighs u got a 1000lbs of tourq
This video barely discussed the 7.3 and excursion. Click bait
This guys "lasts forever" means "i owned one for 2 years and it didnt blow up". He also owns 20 cars so he doesnt do alot of miles in any of them.
They seem like the kind of guys who buy a Powerstroke because they're trendy and they can pretend to be real men on the weekends.
Mint.
This specific f250 has a single garret turbo they got rid of the dual turbos after 2014
stop the 6 liter hate 6 liter lives matter
Government....
Muricans: Complaining about a Engine thats downsized from 7l to 6l Me driving a 1.6l TDCI: I totally can rely
And here in India we barely have any suv with 3L+ egnine, most of them being 2.2 L. For sedans , it's 1.2L-1.6L and for hatchback 0.8L-1.2L
Do you guys even know diesels?
My name is Jon Ross
6.7ls are bulletproof 6.0s and 6.4ls are junk 7.3l last forever but are complete turds...5.0s are bulletproof 4.9ls are bulletproof 4.6l good .motors 5.4ls good motor 6.8l good motor 5.8l bulletproof I can go on I dont know a bad ford motor tbh theres alot of gutless fords but they last forever n the ones that are bad only lasted a couple years (6.0 and 6.4) and the 5.4ls get a bad rep for ppl doing the bare minimum for repairs and beating the poop outta em
NOTHING beats OLD. You have to be an absolute IDIOT to buy a new computer infested pile of shit nowadays. That old Excursion will run longer and better than the new one. But people have these HUGE EGOS and just can't "belittle" themselves into an old vehicle...what would people think since that DEFINES most people. Their car. UNreal.
when americans compare a Ford Truck with an S-Class all Germany ist laughing with tears in our Eyes 😂😂🇩🇪🇩🇪
My truck was 78,000 and my boss had a 150,000 dollar ford and I will put money on it that it was nicer ride
3:25 That is not the only good Ford. The Crown Victoria, specifically the P71, was an excellent car. The only consistently good model Ford vehicle made in the past 20 years.
THERE BOTH CRAP
This is the crossover we never knew we needed
Lol a 2001 s class
Lmao dumbass, 6.7 has a single turbo, just got done pulling one off our 2011 f250, learn your vehicles
We had a 1994 F-Superduty (450 cab and chassis) which had the 7.3L Powerstroke which was available mid model year to replace the non-DI engine. It blew the turbo a few times early ownership until we changed the rear end ratio to drop the revs. Retired it at 495k km as we out grew it and the reefer box wore out. Apart from a few oil drips it ran great considering how hard it was ran.
