In Reply to: which 3/4 ton truck should I buy posted by tractor Hank on September 10, 2007 at 13:13:20:

I think they are all about the same. A 3,000lb tractor on a bumper pull trailer is nothing for a 1/2 ton, but I don't know much about slide in campers, but don't seem like those would be too heavy for a 1/2 ton even with the trailer behind. With 3/4 ton your going to lose alot of ride quality when your crusing around empty, you'll feel all the bumps and potholes in the road much better. My dad just went from a 1994 F150 with a 300 straight 6 to a 1994 F250 with a 351. Both were 4x4 and 8ft box except the F250 is an extended cab instead of a regular, and the F250 is automatic where as his F150 was a 5spd. He lost 6mpg going to that F250. His F250 is a much better truck for heavy hauling, but only averages 12mpg compaired to the 18mpg he got with his F150. The 3/4 ton is built heavier all over, his F250 weighs in at 6,000lbs empty. It is not an economical truck just to go out riding in or use for anything other than heavy loads. Ask yourself if you really need a 3/4 ton?.

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
