Wow. So now everybody thinks 290 horsepower can't pull 3,500 pounds????

That's more horsepower than the original Triton V10 made!

Sure, the turbo motors are far superior, but I don't think that part of the question.


OP - You'll be fine. It'll be spinning fast at times and you won't be able to tow in 6th gear, but it'll get the job done easily.

Actually the first version of the Triton V10 had between 305 and 310 horsepower and 420 to 425 lb-ft of torque. Clicky But in any event, that 3.3L isn't anything more than a grocery getter. If you want a grocery getter, it will work just dandy. If you want a tow vehicle, get a real engine, the 3.5L ecoboost (best $600 investment you can make in a truck). Just my Opinion, Yours may vary.
