For pullin’
 

Travel trailers and such. Which is best and why - Ford F-250, Ram 2500, GMC 2500, other?

7.3 Ford, I've had mine as a daily driver, ski boats. Heavy equipment and it keeps going! I love my truck even being 20 years old :seasix:

New or used? Im under the impression the chevys/gmc have the best ride, and dodge the worst. Fords new motors seem to be quite complicated (expensive to maintain/work on). The earlier duramaxes have ridiculous fuel and injector issues. I really dont know much about the newer Fiats, errr Dodge.

Having been a chevy family my whole life,I found the fords controls were just different enough to be annoying. Suggest you go drive all three and see what fits you the best.

2017 and up F-250/350.


Best options and engine for towing. What size travel trailer and how much weight?

Budget also?

:iagree:
Both a workhorse and good all around truck.


Stew's a baller = money no object.

Well shit. 2020 F450 Platinum Dually.

Excellent advize.

We buy Ford trucks for our business. We use them to pull boats. The company owns Two 650’s and two 350’s. We have found Ford trucks are the best for pulling trailers.

I was always a ford guy. for my business I was exclusively ford, but one of the guys really wanted a chebbie. I bought two chevy's. from a repair perspective, the chevy trucks have needed more consumable items like brakes. both brands have been good for not needing major repairs until you really stack the miles on and get close or above about 200k miles. my personal preference is ford, I like the interface for connecting my phone and playing music. I also think it has a nicer interior.

It was awhile ago, about ten years, but I worked as a service writer at a Ford dealership. We had two very good Diesel mechanics there. The both owned Chevy Duramaxes.:yesnod:

Tundra :leaving:

Cybertruck.

Say somewhere between a 26’ - 29’, 7K - 10K LB

Used - something within the last 15 years. Budget - $15K - $20K

LMFAO, I wish. I don’t care if this thing is a beater, just as long as it will pull w/no issues.

If you up your budget 5 or 6k you can still get a higher mileage 2012 f250.

Just don't want a 2011. First year for the 6.7L

Lots of issues with 2011s?

It was Ford's first year with a in house clean sheet design diesel. Great motor just first year issues are cropping up. HP fuel pump which can be expensive. EGR was another issue. A lot of people delete that though.

:rofl:

Agree if you don't mind stopping every 100 miles to recharge.

Might make trips long.

Glad we can all laugh at that.

Over 100 k?

I saw his on a drag strip once. :D

Yup. Stu is a ballah. So I've heard.

Trucks are so fugging expensive.

I have a 2018 Ram 2500 HD (Cummins Trubo Diesel) Laramie 4x4 that I bought used with 44K. Absolutely love it. I can barely tell Das Boat is hooked up when I tow with it. Lots of space, very reliable, and I'm getting much better mileage than I was in my C6Z.

I found the truck and UD helped get me all the info and the starting range to expect for a realistic price. Got it for less than $50K before trade in.

Yes they are but they are getting so nice now.

Stu would be a Baller if he didn’t have to pay out the azz for child support.

So true, especially when you jump up to a 3/4 ton or more.

Perfect bracket racer. Liz was CONSISTENT. :yesnod:

Yes she was. :seasix:

That Tundra was faster to the 60' mark then my Z06. :yesnod:

I have a few friends with the bigger trucks. :seasix: As Top said they have such a nice interior now, like a driving office. :yesnod:

I drove a friends for a few days it was great, but drank gas like a mofo. :D

Thread derail.

This

2017 F250 6.7

Bit overkill? You could tow that trailer with a Camry. :lol:

True. I had the truck before I bought the trailer. But you’re right, you have to look in the mirror to even know it’s back there. :cert:

2017 F250 SRW Lariat Ultimate here.

How it looks now.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...541ab71880.jpg

thought ya had a F350?

Na. I only needed something to pull the 28' enclosed with the Corvette in it. 350 wasn't needed.

Your grass needs to be greener. :leaving:

:slap:


RAM 2500/3500 w/Cummins diesel. /thread

Make it so...

FX VETTE approves of these wheels and stance :seasix::seasix:

:slap:

Bought a new 2013 F250 diesel to tow my Pro Streeter.

Never towed anything with it and I’m driving around right now with obnoxious sounding studded snow tires and it hasn’t snowed yet.

Another Cool 50th fail.

I noticed Black Widow has not been mentioned... :toetap:

Not my grass. [emoji1787]

Baller Money

Those are so ballah they can start divorces.

fuck off douche bag. :D

Why does anyone want to talk about the truck Gixx probably had to give to his wife?

I just wanted confirmation that it was a girlyman poser truck, not suitable for doing real work. :yesnod:

Her boyfriend drives it now.

Everyone does the blackout, bro-lean thing here. Looks like shit.

Some cool tow vehicles here.

lifted trucks sales in Georgia.....but not by appointment only. for a minute I thought it was that one guy

If you plan on towing a lot, NOTHING tows better than a dually. I have a gas dually towing my 24 ft. car trailer. I don’t pass many gas stations tho. :funnier:

I don’t follow threads very well but is that the poster that seems to be brown nosing CFOT?

[emoji1787]

Harsh bro:sadangel::D

If you own a black widow, you get a free accessory for when you actually want to do some pullin'. Word has it you get the same thing in the glove box when you buy a used C4.

avoid the 08-10, the 6.4 was Fords worst engine ever
