just as the few above have said something is wrong with your truck. I plow with mine and I have an 18' car trailer that I haul my companys trucks when they break down from chevy colorados, ford rangers and even full size 3/4 vans loaded down with tools and I have no problems

Are you asking how to make it hold a constant speed more dramatically? Cause that ain't easy to do. It's supposed to be a dull experience.

LOL, Vinford, making trouble are you. The 5.4 and V10's like to make RPM's, and they will never feel like our 6.4's with a tune. You have 4.88's in your 6.4??, my son's old V10 had 4.30's and still got good mileage, 12-14 on the highway, you'll probably have to look at something like that.
When the rare occasion comes up he take's my 6.4 for a ride he comes back shaking his head about my NASCAR truck. His new to him (2008 F250 V10) has 3.73's and it pulls nothing like his 2001 with 4.30's.

You would think mine would do the speed limit empty?
That's why I asked where to start as there must be something wrong with it?
