I figured the tow rig section would get me more relevent info for what I'm trying to do, being hauling a small (~2K lbs slide in camper and trailer with 2-3 ATV's, about 5K lbs)
I've been shopping for a '05+ superduty tow rig, looking for almost any configuration that is 4x4 and at least more than a standard cab. I don't want to touch a diesel from that era but it seems like that was damn near all that Ford would put in their trucks back then. I'd really like a v10, but occasionally I see pretty good deals on 5.4 trucks, and I have to wonder how under powered they would be with my setup.
A buddy of mine has an '06 F150 with a fresh 5.4, intake, headers, and exhaust and think's it's hot shit, I think it's kind of a turd that just downshifts and makes more noise when you step on the pedal, rather than pulling any harder.
Did they get any different tuning for the 250/350s?
