Which block 7.3 v8 dieselF150 is ok, more of a grocery getter here than a work truck. Most farmers here use the F-250-F550. Same size truck but much heavier and built for farm work. I routinely tow 10+ tonne with my F-250, an F550 is rated for 18 tonne gross. I guess you need to take baby steps, an F150 would be a good start!
6.4L V8 in mine built by International (2008-2012 I think) 6.7L V8 built by Ford in the new ones. 7.3 was a good engine but was replaced in the early 2000's by a 6L which had issues.Which block 7.3 v8 diesel
Big lazy motors with more torque than a nuclear submarine Nice6.4L V8 in mine built by International (2008-2012 I think) 6.7L V8 built by Ford in the new ones. 7.3 was a good engine but was replaced in the early 2000's by a 6L which had issues.
Does all that go through the back axle? Must be some strain on when towing?The older engines were pretty lazy, but the new ones are pretty peppy! More so when you take off the DPF and tune them to 500hp
Yes, all through the rear axle but they seem to be built to handle it. From new the 6.7L puts out 440bhp and 925ft lbs torque. My 6.4 only had 350 but up to about 430bhp now, that's plenty for me. A few guys tune them to well over 500 and drag race them, need to be in 4x4 to get away.Does all that go through the back axle? Must be some strain on when towing?
My 200bhp Ford Ranger will easily spin the rear tyres when towing. Especially on uphill starts. That's why i went for the auto so i could feed the power in better.

is that american gallons?Empty the F250-F550 get 20-25mpg, can get over 30 out of mine if I try. The F150's should do a fair bit better, probably over 30mpg average with the current eco boost or new diesel I would suspect.
No, in Canada we use imperial gallons. Or L/100km now.is that american gallons?
