resting now... just spent the last 2 hrs ripping a holly bush out... my truck went 3 rounds with it and was beat every time... 1st time it actually stalled the truck.. 2nd time it loosened my bumper... 3rd time it was trying the same thing with the bumper... dad pulled his truck up with his 06 silverado 1500 and ripped it out on the 2nd try.. his first try all he did was spin the tires... 2nd time he went with a running start..

engine with bigger ***** woulda been better... dads trucks only 2wd just like mine.. but hes got more HP and TQ...

mine only outputs 92hp 132 tq... but geared really low... trannys first gear is 3.46 and the rear end has 4.11 gears... still couldnt rip it out...

dads trucks supposedly outputs 295hp 285tq... and sits 1400lbs heavier than my truck does...

My white ford I hooked up to my deck and pulled it down when the truck was only 3 days at my house. Good torque and four wheel drive.
