[QUOTE="torchred2000gt, post: 15896167, member: 37694"] They were comparing its towing characteristics to the Super Duty with over twice as much torque so yeah. I'm taking it with a grain of salt though since my 2012 F150 with a 5.0 (and SCT tuner w/5* tunes) performs better hauling a 20' gooseneck loaded with my 35 horse cabbed tractor, 900lb box blade, and welder than what they made that diesel F150 sound like. There's no way that package of their fantastic 10 speed trans and 440 lb-ft of low rpm torque is lesser performing than my 6 year old pickup. Heck, it has as much power as my parent's '97 Powerstroke; I don't remember ever complaining about a lack of power with it, even towing large livestock trailers or a 42' RV. Their 2016 Powerstroke is a whole nother animal, but for what the majority of the population uses pickups for, the current half ton offerings are more than capable and make more sense. Have you ever tried parking a Super Duty dually in a crowded parking lot or heck, just tried to get around high traffic areas in one? I have; it is a pain in the rear. The big trucks have their place, and it's daily towing or loads exceeding the capacity of an easier to live with half ton. [/QUOTE]
