And who said anything about a diesel??? Where did you see that?

A Focus group? I have an F150. You mean like this:

Ford Focus Forums, News, Articles, Message Board Discussions

 

I put ARB air lockers front and rear on a Jeep once, I ran 4.11s with 33x12.5s and that joker would almost walk up a vertical wall. Plus I had an onboard air compressor with it. Was a bit loud though.

 

I just bought a 2010 F-150 super cab FX2 with the 4.6 3V 6-speed... I have had a 1999 and a 2006 F-150 prior with the 4 speed, I would defenitley say the 4.6 3V 5 speed is more than enough for your needs. I wish I would have waited for the 5.0 but I got a great deal and tons of rebates on my 2010. You will not be dissapointed, for some reason all 3 of my F-150's have all been the 4.6.... it is a good little motor... maybe not the biggest in the performance area but they have all gotten any job done that I have thrown at it without a hiccup.

 

Many thanks.

 

Some of the tow difference is you may comparing is reg. cab to a super cab.The shorter wheel base has a lower tow rate.

 

Same truck configuarations.

 

Sorry,I thought you were first looking at the reg cab.

 

Just about ready to bite on the 4.6L 3v engine.

 

If you can wait, try the new EcoBoost 3.5L V-6 twin turbo. I drove one last Saturday at a Ford function at the Fontana Speedway. WOW!

 

Thanks for all the help.

 

I have a 2010 F-150 with the 4.6 engine. If I let off the gas below 40 mph, the tach drops to near 1000 rpm, and I give it gas, it vibrates like I am in the wrong gear(which it is in the wrong gear). Does anyone else run it in 'tow/haul' mode so this doesn't happen? TIA

I'm not sure but maybe try posting this in the F150 forum, shouldn't that truck be under warranty, G

 

It is in the F150 forum; unless he has more than 60k miles the drivetrain should be under warranty; but it would be better if he started his own thread rather than hijacking this one.

 

Charlie, thats a better plan there.............
