12 Reasons to Daily Drive a 'Modern Diesel'

I've been ostracized for daily driving my F250. Let me tell you why it's more practical than what you might think.

I believe in a concept. Better to have more and not need it than have less when needed.

Lol 6.7 here in the uk 🇬🇧 the biggest is 3 liters if your lucky most 2.3 liters. I love America, always enjoy visiting.

Excellent video. On the road bigger is usually better and safer.

lmao! I have a 2014 crv and yeah I get 28 - 30 on average with a 50 minute commute. I have hit 33 mpg on long trips. (TIP: I am a cruise-control "junky" and also keep my distance like a professional truck driver to minimize brake use)
Appreciate your time on these videos

I just came across your Channel and I absolutely agree with you....Diesel is the way to go IMO! I just added a 2024 F350 Platinum Tremor with 6.7HO and I absolutely love it (after 10 month build time) I own a Preservation company that covers NC, SC, GA and TN and it rides so great, pulls great and just all around love it....I also have a 2021 Ram TRX and I love it to but it was not built for pulling Landscaping trailers. The TRX is a solid reliable truck that just hit 93k miles after buying it 2 years ago with 8900 on it....I won't not have a Diesel anymore after being one of those saying a diesel wasn't necessary unless I live on the road pulling heavy weight and boy was I wrong.

I've never driven nor even been inside a Honda CRV but I'd say your truck is 10X more comfortable to drive around town or on a long trip!
Good to finally see a video where someone points out all the pros and cons of this truck!!! The cons are there but you just have to be aware of it especially driving in town or need to find parking in a particular area!
Regarding #1 - crash protection !!! Absolutely right!!!
In addition - having a giant truck like that, people automatically move out of the way from you!!!
Do you run into issues with Regen if you drive short distances?
Great video!!!

I’m in same boat, was think to sell my Denali diesel L5p and move to Lower trim, 1500, nana noway this truck is a monster, we don’t live forever, . Enjoy you ride

Its worth it just for number 1, safety. Not much is going to hurt you in one of these. Even with crappy fuel economy it is worth it just for this alone. Keep driving it daily, I do the same in a F350 superduty.

My trusty 2017 Ferd F350 SRW stroke has been a good reliable truck in my 5 years of full-time for daily drive and pulling my 9, 000 lbs trailer over the road. My replacement is a 2023 Ram 3500 Dually with the high output Cummins and will be my daily drive and will be pulling my 5th wheel toy hauler occasionally. I hope to keep this truck and drive it daily as long as I can. Engine brake id way better on cummins than the stroker as well as the sound(Cummins sounds like a semi specially when castrated). I like them ford and ram diesel trucks.

Everything you said is extremely true and I'm on board with it all. However, it's not necessarily diesel related and you can easily use the same reasons for the gas model superduty trucks. I was deciding between a diesel xlt and a gas lariat 7.3L a few months ago and ended up with the gasser. The cost was negligible between the two due to the higher cost trim of the lariat and the diesel in the xlt. I just found that it takes a really long time to recoup the 10, 500 cost of the diesel option. I will say that I love driving this thing every day. It does more than any car will ever do, except match gas mileage of course.

Mine is a 2000 7.3 f250. Not so modern. And it is NOT for sale

[stevenk]

Finally this is the kind of video ive been searching for. I'm definitely sending you over a personal email for more details on your history with diesels. Im so torn on my next truck purchase.Thank you for making this video.

[edgartaylor]

I recommend you ad an S&S Diesel disaster prevention kit to protect your fuel system if your CP4 pump ever fails. It will save you 10 grand.

How people in America react to a big truck depends on the city and state. Californians will roll their eyes. Taxans outside of Austin won't blink. Where is this guy located? 🤔

[slingerlandg]

Diesel has proven to be more durable over gas.

Unless u need a big truck for towing and/or business activity as u explained, you can’t justify the cost and expense of driving around with a modern diesel truck weighing 8-10K lbs. Once you are out of warranty any maintenance unless u are a do it urself individual will place a higher burden of expenses on ur daily living. I have one bcus I have an RV and it happens to be my tow truck, the front end of my 5th wheel. If I decided to get rid of my 5th, the truck would be next. I have a lariat f350 2011 going on 13 yrs old. Every time I take it out on road trips I stress out just thinking if I broke down on the hiway without warranty. I keep it up as best as I can but as the years pile up u have to changing all the emission components which are very costly unless u delete and then u are non compliant with EPA. Don’t care to take that risk when I am traveling thru other states.

A modern pickup makes sense. At this point with the complexity of modern diesels and the increased fuel cost and how powerful/good gas engines have got a diesel makes little sense now. It is easy to get a 10-15k bill on these diesels. Quote out a cp4 failure. You are never going to make that money back

[MidwestMechanics]

Daily driving a truck really doesn’t make any sense at all unless you’re actually using it. I save $800 per month just by driving my car for work alone.

[armandoperezjr]

The peasant version of this truck?! Hahaha!😂
