Most You've ever hauled

[73f100shortbed]

That is some really good gas mileage. Even with a good tune-up I don't see good results. Mostly city driving though too. Highway might be a little better, but not much at all.

yeah maybe its just God's way of saying Brent you need to keep this truck because dang son its the best truck model ever built.

even God likes Fords...not sure of the newer ones but hey :-)

I get about 18mpg since my truck went on a 100 cubic inch diet. Thats with said dog. I'm hoping for another 5mpg after the 3.54 gear swap.

here's some of my 76.


we were just moving trailers around. These loads were never on the main roads

here is some of dads truck. The 91 F-350 has a tree fall on it. It has all there except the transmission. Was a load for the trailer but didn't strain the truck

I pulled an 18-wheeler loaded with fertilizer out of a ditch with my 67 Bronco. 302 bored 40 over, 650 Holly, high lift cam. I locked it into low range 4x4 and hooked a BIG logging chain to the truck. A cop showed up and was directing traffic, since the rig was half out on the road--he told me I'd never move it. I got all four tires smoking, then let off the gas just a little bit. Once the rubbers bit we walked right accross the highway with that truck in tow. Should have seen the look on the cop's face. I even had the roof and doors off, so the little Bronco looked especially small!

Giddy up!

The most I towed down the hwy was our tractor pull sled grossing 26.800lb with out a problem.the 32 ft inclosed trailer with the pulling truck and the golfcart I should be close to 21.000lb.My fuel mpg emty is 24.8 don't know what it is going to be loaded.

Interesting choice of words there, Dale. I'm not sure that gettin' loaded will impact MPG by much, but it'd sure be some kinda fun testing that theory . . .

Didja heat up the tires so they'd get a grip, or it just worked out that way? Inquiring minds wanna know.

You got me there I didn't catch that till you pointed out .Might be a little cheaper to just hook to the trailer than paying for a DWI
