Yeah. I never thought I'd be back in a half ton - or a v6 - but I've been really surprised and impressed. And it is so much better as a daily driver when not towing.
Thanks! It’s a 1981 Excella II. I’ve pulled it about 40k miles all over the country, with about 5k being the F-150 3.5 Ecoboost. Long passes like the Bozeman pass - I take those slower, but I did that with the 250 Diesel as well.
Yep when the road allows for it.
I didn’t mention payload - my Lariat is rated for 1774 lbs and I’m coming in several hundred pounds below that. The weight distribution isn’t wound up too stiff and my rear only drops about 3/4 inch when pulling mostly dry.
I just traded in my F-250 Diesel for a ‘23 F-150 3.5 Ecoboost with Max Tow. Pulled my 31’ Airstream and family of five on a 5000 mile excursion from Alabama out west. It pulled great, including big inclines and full water tanks. It honestly surprised me and I’m very happy with the trade. Do I...
