The reason you lost that extra 100 lbs. is due to the 157" wheel base....but you did gain a tad on payload.

I absolutely love my truck! I tow a 7500lb travel trailer and actually look forward to climbing hills just to watch the rpm's stay between 1700-2500 while maintaining the speed limit. Ford has hit a home run with this setup and there is no denying it! It even out preforms the MONSTER 6.2L until you get into the higher rpm's! What more can you possibly ask for!

A little less hatred from the naysayers.
