I have an 06 ford 250 with the 6 speed stick. Very nice truck but i wish I had my 91 non turbo 7.3 in it. that thing was bulletproof. The 6.0 just has nothing in the low end. Now, this is expected when i pull the skid loader around. I think its 7500 lbs plus buckets forks other goodies the trailer and a truckbed loaded with old skool steel ladder racks and too many tools. I think on the quarry scale it showed 980 lbs of stuff in there that i cant live without. Towing the kubota tractor and the IH484 tractor is a nice experience though. The kubota you dont even know its there. Not towing anything it is a fast truck. I baby that thing pretty bad, but when i want it, its there.My dad had a 99 dodge. that motor was awesome but like someone else said the fronts were terrible. he couldnt afford to keep brakes on it. I imagine they fixed that by now.

I think i read that most new duallys are rated to tow 24000 lbs. Now that i cannot believe. Pulling maybe. Stopping? that must be dicey, especially for an emergency stop. If anyone does pull that much I'd like to hear how it handles. Maybe i'm underrating those trucks.

My 2 cents.
