Anyone pulling over 12K with new Ford 7.3 Gasser?
I currently own a 2004.5 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9 Diesel and I'm in the market for a truck. My Arctic Fox is a nice trailer but it's a beast (12K+ lbs). My truck is bone stock and has 325hp and 600lb-ft of torque. I would say it is sufficient but on the edge of its abilities to pull a trailer of this weight.
Of course, I'm looking at diesel versions of the big 3. But the Ford 7.3 with its lack of DEF and turbo complications make it very appealing. It has 430hp and 475lb-ft. I would be considering the F350 version with 4.30 gearing to get the most out of it for towing.
Does anyone have experience yet with this TV towing something similar to mine?
Any thoughts on how this might compare with the towing experience I'm having with my truck?
