You guys really still think a 365HP V10 will pull slower than the 300HP PowerStroke in the F450/550? So much slower you'll have another birthday?

In case you haven't seen the specs, 365hp (V10) is more than 300hp (PSD).

Are you and I the only ones that get this Bryan?

For all the others, and for the billionth time. Torque is not power. :S

Yeah, my car has 450hp and my Cummins has about 400 on the tow tune, but that truck would stomp a mud hole in the car's @ss if they were both hooked up to a 20k trailer!
Something about 800+ft lbs vs 400ft lbs? I dunno.

And yes I do. I've had 2 different Ford V10s and they are 2nd gear wonders wound out pulling even 10 k at any altitude.

And you know this how if you have never hooked up a 20K trailer to your 450HP car? A 400 HP Hemi with 400 ft/lbs would waste a 300 HP LB7 Duramax in a sea level hill climb. Even though the Dmax has 120 ft/lbs more of torque. Same story with the LLY. And it has around 200 more ft/lbs of torque.
