I fell for that one too. I tried a 2006 F-150, thinking that three valves were better than two. Not much improvement and the soft suspension had me looking at another real truck within two years.

I won't go into all my trades and trailers, but I have experimented a lot. A 2013 2500 HD was my most capable tow vehicle and my current F-150 is the most fun.
