Hey all I have been waiting for a 2020 truck to arrive at the dealership that they were supposed to be getting on trade but it looks like it may no longer be coming in.
I know alot of folks love the 3.5L turbo 6, but for me I am a custom to V8s and have a fair bit of experience working with them. Also with some simple upgrades If decide to add on I can really improve performance of the 5.0 and have no exp with the 3.5.
All that said in my area no dealership has been able to find the 5.0 with a 6.5 bed. They have put together a really good deal on a 5.0l with 5.5 box. Or a 3.5L with a 6.5 box. I had hoped to be able to put 2 round bales in the 6.5 but after some consideration I am afraid it may not be great to put two rounds with the tail gate down. I have a float trailer which I figure I would use to bring hay home most of the time anyway. Also if I just need a few bales I have a older Ford that I can haul 4 time.
The idea was if we were already in town I could grab
2 bales with the 6.5. Before I make my decision does anyone have experience hauling hay with the tail gate down. Any issues or damage caused by driving with it down.

I think you’re going to want at least a f250 to haul 2 bales of hay in the bed. Some of the f150s only have 1200lbs of total load capacity including the driver. Mine has 1700lbs but it’s a regular cab with the 6.5’ box. My F350 has 3,800lbs.
