Quite impressed
I've owned 3 different diesel pickups over the last 15 years, 93 dodge, 00 dodge and an 07 dodge, and I've been spoiled with the powe. Recently I sold the last diesel and picked up my current pickup, 93 f350 crew cab 4x4 460 5 speed. I really like it and the price was right although I was hesitant to settle for a gas rig. Anyway, I just hauled a load weighing about 12k lbs, plus the pickup, so pushing 20k gross. On flat ground I was able to cruise at 65 in 5th gear and able to pull moderate grades in 4th at 60-65.

Tbh you can pull alot more with alot less than you'd expect.
But yeh the 460 is a nice piece of kit.

You could pull your 40' 8k trailer with a 4 banger ranger, wouldn't be safe or enjoyable. Lots of rigs can tow, doesn't mean they do it well.
