I dont know about that heavy 04 f150 but my 03 f250 sc,sb,5.4,4x4 scaled out at 6460 with a full tank you gotta know these f250s are heavy duty trucks. just the other day an old lady driving a cheby screwcab longbox jumped me at a stoplight and left me lookin at tailgate so she could cut me off but when the f250 shifted to third I did the crossover move on her and she got a face full of tail gate they say around here that you gotta wind these things up I beleave that.....
