Which Truck would you tow with ?

[arkansasrunner]

I'm having a problem deciding which truck to use tolling my 5th wheel. I have a '94 Ford F250 4 x 4 7.3 Diesel 5 speed. (180 hp, Torque 338 ) I also have a '96 Chevy Crew Cab 3500 4 x 4 5.7 gas engine 5 speed. ( 255 hp torque 330 ) I know that I may be over weight on the ford a little bit. ( I think ) Our 5th is rated at 11,000 GVWR. Just want to use the saftest truck possible. Any response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Around the southeast and Arkansas, I would use the Chevy. They'll both be a test of patience. Higher HP through gear reduction equates to more torque to the rear wheels.

Why not do what was suggested in your other post......LINK

GO weigh the truck(s) so you know what you can tow......simple.

Does your 7.3 have a turbo. If so, no question go with the Ford.
Even non-turbo it is a stronger engine and will be under less strain, you just won't go real fast.
