Well I said goodbye to the F150 this weekend and got an 2008 F250 6.4 Diesel. No more worry about pulling the new trailer.

Thanks for helping me make the right decision.

This is where the anonymity of the internet pays off.

When somebody passes him in his old truck, towing an even bigger trailer...
...I think legally he can come back here and shoot us.

Nice looking truck. I bet it has stock gearing though as well. lol
The diesel will handle it a bit better though.

I would always use a set of stock 17" wheels and tires when hauling my big trailer. It made all the MPG and temps a lot easier to haul heavy with. My F250 lifted the heads trying to tow 12k with the 35's through the Rockies.
