Nothing is perfect, for sure. But do you agree with this dude's opinion that these are the three worst features of the latest Super Duty? Our writer seems more than a little skeptical...

 

Waste of 4 min...

 

That guy is a dope.

 

Obviously he is entitled to his opinion. However, kind of stupid frankly. All diesels have the DEF issue--so don't buy one if you can't handle it-dah. I personally like the taller trucks so again just an opinion. As for the outlet issue can't really say since that wasn't why I bought the truck. Now the double honk in my ear as I leave the vehicle with my key does at times tick me off.

 

I can't say that this was a waste of time. For most people on FTE forum, they know and already accept the issues expressed by this guy. I agree that complaining about DEF is a non-issue. If you buy the gasser, it is a non-issue, and if you are buying a diesel truck, regardless of manufacturer, you will have to deal with DEF. Complaining about it just means that you should just get a minivan or something. The issue with the truck height, though, can be a real issue. For some people, and probably the average consumer, they don't know how tall the truck is and how tall the bed really is. This can be an issue for people who tow 5th wheel and aren't thrilled with having to do things like flip axles on their 5ver to avoid nose high or clearance issues. Also, it matters to people who have smaller garage door openings. There are already threads on this forum about people complaining about the height and forcing them to park outside.

The issue with the plugs can be an issue as well. Most of us aren't buying the truck for it's number of USB ports, but many people do care about this issue and as we progress in how much technology infiltrates our lives, Ford should realize that small investments like extra USB ports can really improve the utility of the truck, especially for families.

Now the most important thing I get from this video is more about what Aaron DIDN'T list as a gripe. Realize that if this guy took the time to come up with a video, and all that he could generate was complaining about DEF, truck height, and USB ports, well, Ford must be doing a mighty fine job of building a great truck, and one that we can be very satisfied with. He didn't complain about size of the cabin, cameras, power, transmission, payload, seat comfort, view from the cab, quality, or braking. That, to me, says more about the truck than anything else.

So he says the DEF fluid needs to be changed every oil change....right at that moment he lost all credibility.

 

Repo....I didn't watch the vid yet...but he's not TOO far off on the DEF change. If you follow a 7000 - 7500 increment for the oil...it's darn close to every oil change that you are adding DEF.

 

Ya, but he said change the DEF....you don't change it.

 

Got it....LOL.....

 

To recap:

It's tall.

You need to change (add?) DEF.

The frame is stronger, so the ride is rough. (?)

1 USB port.

 

Hummm I have a LTX and it has 2 USB ports in the front.

 

What a joke!!!! Its a TRUCK not a minivan!

 

So, when I change the DEF should I use synthetic DEF? Does Mobile1 make a good filter? When changing the filter should I pre-fill the new filter with DEF before screwing it on? Can the old DEF be recycled at my local recycling center?

</sarcasm>

 

Lol. I may be forced to become a DEF Prepper after hearing this guy. More sarcasm.

 

USB ports are kind of a petty complaint. But fear not, Job 2 trucks now have 4!

I can only imagine needing a USB port to either play music off a phone or to charge a phone. These trucks seat 5-6. Presumably, not all 5-6 devices need a charge at once?
