It's rated at 9000 lbs heavier than my trailer weighs, but I figured if I ever wanted a big fifth wheel, this will get the job done. It shouldn't break a sweat doing what I'll do with it. I'm hoping for 14 mpg towing too. The old 460 got 8

Nice truck.
Good thing you're down there instead of here in Minnesota. Too many cases of fuel jelling, that's why I got rid of the 2 I used to have.
I'm sure that will do everything you'll ever want to do with it.

I wouldn't know. We're supposed to have a high of 75 today

Eastern Texas is getting hammered....yesterday was in the mid 60's here. It is a bit windy, but it's short sleeve weather.

Oh...almost forgot....quick update on my oil burner. Fueled it up yesterday. 205 miles / 11 gallons = 18.3 MPG mixed city, highway, and freeway. Not bad for a 7800 lbs vehicle. Factor in a couple of triple digit sprints....BTW, this truck doesn't break a sweat at 100 mph and would gladly run there all day.

Damn Friz, that's better then I got with my old 94 Ford F-150 5 speed with the 4.9 straight 6 cyl in it..I was only getting 17 mpg with that. You will probably get over 20 mpg on the highway......Nice....WW
