1000 ft lbs and how much torque management, under what conditions will they be able to release it. I know they have a great tranny, but you need transfer cases, u-joints, drive lines, rear ends, wheels and tires and drivers that can handle it. Or you just dumb it down with Torque Management!
Turn that much loose and you will not be able to keep it on the road when it rains. Maybe full time four wheel drive?
You can get yourself in trouble real quick with the current Power Stroke if you don't know what your doing... Anyways the new Super Duty weight savings from the aluminum body panels was reinvested in upgraded and stronger drivetrain components. The 6 speed Torque Shift transmission doesn't have the torque management like the 5 speed Torque Shift transmission did.
With aluminum weight savings hopefully they can get the F450's RAWR up from a low 9,100# to at least what the RAM's 3500 is at 9,750#.
