Re: Halt Ton Towing
I like overkill. I bought the vehicle that will tow my trailer up AND down anywhere I want without me ever worrying about the trucks capabilities. I have a 10, 000 lb trailer (when its completely loaded). My truck will tow 17, 000 lbs. Why the overkill? Because my kids are sitting right behind me. Yes, I spent 10k more on the truck. But my kids are worth it. Heck, so am I. And so is your family, if you are in the car behind me. Your welcome :) .372Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2004 F-450 6.0 DRW Bullet Proof
I owned a 2004 f250 lariat. Loved the truck but had engine problems with it. I would recommend passing on the 6.0 engine, and not because of the reliability issues. They just dont have the "nuts" to pull any weight. The smaller block on these engines work really hard when pulling hills. I could only pull a 6% grade at 35 mph with 8500 lbs behind it. And it would run hot , even with that huge radiator it came with. It just never pulled very well. My 7.3, duramax and cummins friends would leave me behind. So I chipped it. And it blew up. $9000 in parts to fix it. I loved driving that truck, except when something was attached to the back.273Views0likes0Comments
