Put the 6.0 to work

So I finally got to put my new truck to work last week. Figures out to be just over a 17k pound trailer. Love this thing. Curvy, hilly country roads. No interstate this go around.

Good to see! Every once in a while, a truck should be used as such!

How did we get along before big horse turbo diesels with ridiculous amounts of torque?

You know you are over limits - yours are 12500# conventional and 15500# 5th wheel. For 17k you need a F-350 dualie.

I was wondering about the weight too, but oh well! Over, done, and still in one piece
