07 ford with the 6.0, under 100k miles so it shouldn't be worn out. not the best record for reliability but power wise with a tuner it is probably putting out as good or better than anything that came stock from the factory.
my guess at weight is probably 22-23k combined the trailer was 102 inches wide and 13' 4" tall.
I have a similar experience. My friend has a 6.0 diesel and I have a V10, both crew cab dually's. We took the campers and our families to Disney last summer. It was about a 1200 mile round trip. Listening to all of the diesel talk on here he should have run off and left me and only needed to stop for fuel every third time I did (because I have a gasser).
Well, he never ran off and left me, we both had a nice tow. The only perceivable difference was the fact that on grades (regular old interstate grades) he would spew black smoke out of the tail pipe.
Mine didn't.
Oh, and we both filled up at the same times. I am sure he got some better MPG.. not so sure it was THAT much better than mine.
Thanks!
