All the old non-powerstroke ford's I've driven have been dogs,
the 6.9's and 7.3's. 175 hp maybe but no power and smokers
on hills. Sure it will pull a load but for every day driving the Ford
I6 motors would beat them off the line and up a hill. The only truck my stock suzuki samurai used to be able to beat
was my buddies 1989 F350 4x4 wtih 7.3 non-turbo. Now when towing, that is another story but my other friends had
chev 5.7's and his current is the 6L. He has a landscaping
company and you can feel the 4000 lb trailer/tractor behind but
will still climb hills fine with the od locked out. The two engines
are pretty close. When I tow his setup with the neigbours 4.6 L Ford it is noticable
slower up hills but I don't hold up traffic, just makes the 4.6 spin
pretty fast in 2nd gear. The 4.6 L ford was also fairly loaded when towing our JD 336
baler up some 8% grades, I couldn't get much over 30 mph not
that you'd want too. The baler is heavier than the truck I
believe, maybe by 1000 lbs? On the flip side, the 7.3 l ford will pull an 8000 lb haywagon
load up the same hill at near the same speed but it doesn't seem
to struggle at all.
