of myself.
Tried a F-250, 5.7 liter Ford pickup - towed the boat fine, but for some reason, I'm not really happy with Fords at the moment. Tried a 2500 Silverado Diesel - not happy with it - wasn't comfortable, didn't like the seat belt set up and I didn't like the interior design. Towed ok. Tried a Dodge Ram 2500 Quad cab - 5.7 Hemi sucks. Tried a GMC 2500 Sierra - eh - fancy Silverado and I had the same complaints. Tried a Toyota Tundra just for yucks. You will not believe what I ended up buying pending the resolution of the F-150 issue. |

Very interesting set up with the 5.7 V8 and tow package. The surprise of the morning was the fuel milage. I was, to put it mildly, amazed. |

What a piece of ****! That's an impressive demonstration. Obviously done by the Ford folks, but damn .... over 3 inches of frame deflection on the Toyota versus under an inch on the Ford for the given load. 3 inches seems like a lot of dynamic flex on metal of that length over time, even though I am sure both frames are hardened. Probably not anywhere near it's yield, but thoughts of longer term metal fatigue start to come to mind. Eisboch |
