Maybe Ford should have said for best results use premium fuel.
They did.
Then someone would say, but I don't want best results I prefer worse results when towing.
It is more like excellent is good enough. Those here that have actually tried it reported the results were not impressed with the improvement. The one guy that actually reported using 91 octane while towing said: " cannot tell you the difference."
Ford could write and entire bible on the effects of premium fuel but the average consumer would not understand all the technicalities, so they simply state use premium fuel when towing. Leaving us to proclaim premium is not necessary,ignore the manual.
As you stated a few lines up, they said "for best results". Ford never said that it is necessary except for the HO version. So now we have a Chevy diesel owner making up stuff that he would like to see in the manual for Ford gas engine owners. As I said earlier, somebody trying to justify not buying an EcoBoost. Now, please go share you expertise with Chevy diesel owners and leave us idiots to our stupid ways and quit taking over threads about Fords just to complain. I am happier that way.
Unfortunately for you this is a public forum. Where you can post and share your ideas With everyone by the same token they respond with their thoughts as well. This is not the "Yes Man" forum where everyone just agrees with what you have to say.
Believe it or not you are not always right and again neither am I.
But we can always learn from others. Dissenting,different opinions are not always evil or ill intentioned.
What does Chevy have to do with Anything? Because you see it in my signature? I never mentioned Chevy in our discussion of Ford trucks.
If you must know I own several trucks, some gas some diesel, some Chevy some Ford.
I don't believe I took over your thread nor do I believe I called you an idiot. I did think differently than you on the subject , but is that a crime? Must we all agree with the original posters comments?
Maybe it's a sign of the times, where too often discussions turn into my way or the highway.
If it makes you feel better to single me out, I'm fine with it. But I'm not the one that originally mentioned the Ford manual. I don't have a F-150 manual and have no idea what is says. Another poster mentioned the manual.I'm also not the only one that questioned some of the logic.
Nevertheless If you don't want to hear/read thoughts different than your own there is always the block button. A sure fire way to only get feedback that you like and fits your narrative.
