Another medium duty truck review!
Another medium duty truck review! Here is a 2017 Ford F-650 with the 6.8L V10 Triton Gas engine which makes 362HP and 457ft-lbs of torque. Its mated to the Ford 6R410 TorqShift SelectShift 6-Speed Automatic. I averaged 7.4MPG which is frankly not good compared to the diesel trucks on my channel that return close to double that. Although it was to be expected with a gas engine of such displacement.
PROS:
Comfy Driver/Passenger Seats
Quiet
Smooth Ride and drives like a large van
Price
Starter sounds like it belongs on a Bugatti
CONS:
Fuel Economy (Realistically expect 7-8 MPG)
Can't pull into truck portion of truck stop because it runs on gas not diesel, the industry standard (Have to navigate the small gas station areas where cars pull through)
Pulling Power
Very Tight Cab (Cramped for 3rd passenger)
Mirrors difficult to adjust
My Opinion:
It was nice to get a pretty new truck from Uhuals fleet, but don't go in thinking you will always get a newer one as this is not always the case.They still have numerous old GM trucks still out there. They keep their trucks for a very long time. If I could describe the driving style of the truck it would be airy and anemic. The V10 is adequate for short moves and flat surfaces. If you are going over 100 miles or going through hilly areas I would strongly look into a diesel truck from Penske/Ryder/Budget. Brakes feel very car like and have quiet a bit of travel. It seems as though once the engine is running the auxiliary brake booster doesn't run at all. Uhual boxes are always top notch with there aluminum floor. The truck has a nice burning smell when under hard acceleration, typical of new vehicles. I have always thought that Lo-Pro 19.5" tires generally ruin the look of most medium duty trucks, and this truck is no exception. I would have liked to see Uhual keep the OEM one piece mirrors that come with these trucks, as the ones they put on are not great. The medium duty F-Series trucks seem to be a cost savings truck as much of the build is carry over from previous generations and products. These trucks have practically no resale value and is practically at the end of its operational life when U-hual retires them. Overall not too bad of a truck, but I think I would much prefer one of the diesel trucks from there competitors. Like these videos and want to see more?
