Thumbs up Tractor Pull

Last weekend I got the chance to pull my 14,000# tractor/trailer up to the cabin w/ our new limited 6.0. Approached a mile long 18% grade hill which requires a stop before continuing up the hill and noticed a duramax pulling a skid steer up ahead. The challange was on and I not only was able to catch him but continued to accelerate past him all the way up the hill. The 6.0 was impressive beyond my imagination with much more torque than my 2001 F350 7.3. In addition, the new tranny greatly reduced the use of the electric brakes when in "tow mode". It was a rush!!! See tractor/ truck photo in gallery

not only did you manage to exceed the towing capacity, but it also looks like that ROPS would have knocked out some bridges! =)
