2020 PSD owner compares it to his 2019 PSD towing 18K

[ShinerBock]

This just came across my recommended videos on YouTube after watching Fish's 2020 7.3L video. He gives a pretty honest (and long) comparison for this who have a 2017-2019 and are thinking about switching. He also has a Banks iDash so you can see some of the temps although I believe the pyro-meter for the EGT's on the PSD is after turbo just like the CTD is which is about 300-400F cooler than pre-turbo numbers where most aftermarket pyro's are.

2020 FORD SUPERDUTY 10 SPEED TOWING 18,000lbs!

FISH I pictured you as a Manly Man that did his own maintenance???

"The Aisin would have been to the shop for service 3 times during that period."

30k fluid then 60k filter and fluid. I’m thinking this is to do with the use these AISIN’s see in Medium Duty applications.

I will say there is no way in HE11 I wold go 150k towing what I do with a new Ford.

You gotta get a Ford. There is no way I'll keep my truck long enough to require the tranny fluid to be changed. I change the engine oil every 25k km and add fuel and windshield washer fluid as needed. That has been it for maintenance other than tires.

If I were in the market for a Gasser It could be a Ford, Diesel......NO!!!

I changed my transmission fluid around 100k miles. The Aisin would have been to the shop for service 3 times during that period. My 05 Super Duty required transmission service every 30k miles.

In regards to the exhaust brake, I am not surprised that he says that the Cummins exhaust brake is better than even his new 2020 though. It appears that he is not the only one to think that.

I was watching his videos a while back when he was evaluating a Ram HD truck but ultimately he felt the new Ford was overall a better performing truck like others have reported.

You can't tell the magnitude of a hill from a video.

A Texan wouldn't be my first choice for an opinion on the topic.

ROFL!!! Ha ha ha. So true. Many here think the hill country is steep.

I never said the hill country is steep nor do I recall anyone here saying that. I've seen several videos where someone is pulling 7-8% grade and from the video the road literally looks flat and even the driver emphasis that you can't tell how steep the road is via the video.

According to the signs, this is the route he took and turned back around. Not sure if anyone has a way to find the grade on the stretch of highway.
