Are you or were you satisfied pulling your rig ? Do you think you need a bigger or newer truck ?

I do not have a Ford,but a 5.9 Cummins in an'04.5 Dodge pulling a just under 12K 5th. We have been from Charleston,S.C. to Maryland, to the Grand Coulee Dam, to Portland, Or. We are very satisfied with our rigs performance. We have averaged 10.5- 11 mpg over all those miles. I am not pushed by others going up hills/mountains while driving at my speed. I would not be afraid to hitch up and pull to Alaska with this setup. I would think a Ford 7.3 will just as well for you. JMHO.
