Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share with you the incredible pulling power of the F350 SRW truck I just purchased. Last weekend, I hooked the fifth wheel to the factory hitch and with the #11500 Suspension it dropped the truck to level status. I then set out to tow and when I encountered a 6% grade the truck pulled and continued to accelerate uphill toward 70 mph. The same hill with the previous truck It would flatten out at 55 mph. Very impressive.

The new Ford 6.7 is a towing beast, I agree.

Yep, mine has done the I10 seven percenter on the way to San Antonio and the six percenter near Ruidoso just like it was on level roads.

We had a 2012 Ram Laramie 4x4 DRW with the 6.7 Cummins. This is the first Ford Truck I have ever owned. I like the now exhaust brake button similar to the Ram. I also like the tow mirrors, I can adjust them without getting out of the truck. The heated / cooled seats and the fact the bride gets the same 10 way power seat as me. I don't bump my head on the pillar post anymore either.
