isn't worth that mediocre engine and transmission combination

You know, just the other day I was thinking about hanging a set of labia off the receiver hitch of my F250.

Uhmmmm....no. Seriously, while not as powerful as the ecoboost, it does have class leading torque and a beefed up tranny. I wouldn't call them mediocre.

Now look what you have done!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You got Maury's reciever labia all tied up and twisted around ROFLMAO

What I mean by that, is once you start towing at 80% of its ratings, which is over 10k lbs, that engine is going to be singing a high note. That won't hurt anything, but it has towing capacity higher than the EB, weighs more, while producing its torque and horse power at a higher engine RPM.

It will handle the 10Klbs load better than the EB, but not pull it better.

I would like Fast Lane Truck to do a stopping test and an Ike Gauntlet comparing the Gas F250 versus the HDPP F150. EB, 6.5 box pulling a 10k load.

There will be a difference, but I'm betting there won't be a huge difference.

The F150 can stop better than the F250 when not towing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it stop shorter or not much longer than the F250 with a 10k load behind it.
