The New ford line up of there gas engines is what turned me off of fords Start looken at the spec.'s on them and just where they make there torque the V10 is way up there in the 4000 RPM range and they have already been makeing changes to it , IMPO when they did away with the long proven 460's that would do a vary fine job and live a long time and why would you want to have ten cyliners to maintain and the 4.5 is to small . And as for the power strok well around here the guy that have had them all had problems with the fly wheels while pullen trailers in the humps and bumps over here . And over the years i have also learned that tryen to have just one dual use truck did not work well for me as when i first went to a one truck for all i was always fixen it as pullen the trailer for what i was tryen to do was just tomuch for a pickup -flat bed what i should have done was have a pickup to beat around in a big truck for the trailer towen but i was tryen to stay away from all the big truck rules and reg. but now they have brought them down to the one ton a and the tandem dual trailers So now if i ever go back to the tractor buying and selling then i will go with a much larger truck and trailer and have to play the game . So if ya don't have that big of tractors to move around then a 3/4 ton and a tandem signal wheel trailer is one way of stayen away from them for now. till they figure out that they can make money off the littel guy.
