Towing Heavy 5er with SRW Truck
I personally don't as my unit is 11k dry. I see a lot of SRW diesel trucks (newer models which I know handle more than older ones) towing huge 5th wheels or toy haulers. Any of you have a setup ...

Thanks guys for the heads up... Somewhere I read the 6.4 was best they made of the International engines, and it was tone one to get... Just looked deeper into the 6.4 Ford.. Can't justify a 2011 or newer truck any more than I can justify $80k for my 1st trailer...
Looks like it'll be a Duramax or a Cummins
Go find a 2006 or 2007 Chassic GM D/A with the LBZ engine and 6 speed Allison. Best there was!

Do you have some stats to back that up, I could make the same claim about the 7.3
My brother inlaw has a 2006 LBZ and my LML will out tow it all day long.(it really irritates the heck out of him!)
Here is some Duramax stats Clicky
Who gets the best MPG?
BTW, I believe that clicky has an error on the injection pump on the LML. It is the CP4.2 ticking bomb I believe, not the CP3 noted. Chris
A funny story about the millage: After I bought my truck he had been crowing about how my motor was inferior to his. The first time we went out together he was towing a lighter trailer than mine and I ran off and left him on the hills, so he wasn't happy. Then when we stopped for gas he was running on fumes and I had over a 1/4 tank left. I thought he was going to cry!
Come to find out he has a 25 gallon tank and I have a 38 gallon. All in all we get pretty much the same gas millage.
