Hi all,
Looking for a tow vehicle to replace my GMC. I've only been looking at GM products up until now. My current truck has a GMC 5.3 litre and is rated towing capacity of 9500 lbs. What would a close equivalent engine/axle ratio be in a Ford F150. Looking to buy 2016 or newer and not a diesel. Thanks
GMs 5.3 with 355hp/383 torque isn't a good comparo to the F150 3.5 EB engine with 395 hp/and a whoppin' 470 torque. Even the 5.0 has 395hp/400 torque.
Now GMs 1500 trucks has a 6.2 engine has 420hp/460 torque that can compete with the f150 3.3 eb or the 5.0 F150 engines.
However the real difference comes in the many different GVWR/RAWR packages for the F150.
#1. 7850 gvwr...4800 rawr....2500 lb in the bed payloads.
#2. 7600 gvwr...4550 rawr... 2200 lb in the bed payloads
#3. 7050 gvwr...4050 rawr... 1800 lb in the bed payloads
#4. 6800 gvwr...3800 rawr...1500 lb in the bed payloads.
