I have a '92 F350 powered by a 7.3 IDI with an ATS turbo.
Can anyone tell me why a gooseneck tows better? What I mean is that I can tow my 28' gooseneck equipment trailer with a 9000# tractor and a couple more thousand pounds of implement and the truck rolls along just fine. If I hook up to my 7000# bumper pull camper it's like I'm trying to drag an anchor and I feel like I need to get out and push. The truck is working much harder, higher boost, higher exhaust temperatures, and lower speed.
Weight is weight, doesn't make since, but there's a hugh difference.
