I have a F250 with the 5.4 and automatic. I haul a 480E Case backhoe, I have never had a problem taking off unless it is off road and spongy. That is what Low range is for. Also backing and turning uphill I need low range also. But my son has a Dodge and a 7.3 Power Stroke F350 they need low range to back up hill also. My son just pulled our trailer 500 miles 250 loaded with a Hummer. he got 12 mpg with a 24valve 01 Dodge. Took a 09 5.4 same trailer and hauled concrete water tanks. 10800. The 3 valve 5.4 with a 6 speed auto got 9.9 Loaded. The newer 5.4 on cruse never got below the speed limit. It did shift a lot. I believe for the 20% I will stay with the gasser. It is easy to drop a thousand dollars on a diesel repair. We have 3 diesel pickups and one gasser. I believe the next will be another gasser, maybe a Eco-boost Ford. Vic
