First tow with my F450.

I towed a couple of F150's on my buddy's car trailer (about 7000lbs) this week with my F450....What a difference over my old IDI....With the 4.63 gears the F450 hauls the mail with ease....I was passing cars going up hills in the hammer lane with the stroker whistling away and a big grin on my face.....Not too shabby for a $600 truck. And the stopping power is nuts with the 4 wheel disc and hydroboost...All new brakes too.

cool
another f450 convert
ford had the market nailed down cold with the f450 and they threw it away

as with everything else when somebody makes to good of a product and therefore have surpassed everything else and will last forever they realize the error so they pull it off the market for fear of losing a market niche for resale the same reason as to why ford discontinued the 300-6 whereas they should have converted back to a diesel as it was originally designed to be!

I don't have a trailer brake controller in the truck but honestly, I don't really need it...
