Congrats! Very nice! We just got home from a camping trip towing our 7K lb trailer with the old F150. Man, do I need new truck! We had to go over a Mt. Pass and a couple other hills and I'll be honest, I'm thinkin diesel. Those boys just cruise right on by while I struggle up 6% grade in 2nd gear. Holding my own OK till inevitably getting stuck behind a semi. Then it's all over. It's going to be soon, probably order or buy off the lot in about three months. Talk me off the ledge!

Just finished a 1100 mile trip though GA, TN, and KY with several 7% and 8% grades. It handled my 6K TT very well. On one 3 mile 8%, I started at the bottom doing 60 and finished at the top with 70 and passed a Dodge Diesel on the way up. Plenty of power at high rpms. Only problem is that at 4500 rpm or higher it sounds like the world's largest chainsaw.
