My greatest moment doesnt realy have to do with brand. But it was when my dad still had his old 7.3 (now currently a 6.4) and we still had our 30ft bumber pull camper (now currently a 35ft fiver). Any way I watched him pull our camper and our 20ft flat bed with our quads on it (two trailers one truck), parallel to the front of a subway then back it around to the side of the building and parked. He never pulled foward and never let off the gas.

I pulled out of the way from them, and figured I'd be waiting a while (no problem). After filling the dump truck, the guy in the loader drives over to me, and I figure "oh sh**, what'd I do wrong." He says, "How much you want?" I say, " I only need 2 tons." He then goes over to the pile, and dips just the corner in a little bit. He comes over and gently pours it into my bed as I watch the suspension lurch down an inch or so at a time as he slowly dribbles a little more, then a little more. My rear probably dipped down five or so inches when he was done, and he says, "OK." when I got back to the scale, my weight was 3950 pounds more. I was impressed!
I made several more trips, and had to hand shovel all of it. My aching back.

My most interesting story involving a Ford was a few years ago. There was a single rear wheel MACK truck sitting in a depression. We took a big 4WD John Deere and tried pulling it out. No luck. So we then hooked a chain to the front of the Deere and to the back of a 2000 F-350 to try helping it out a little. We put the bugger in 4 low and it pulled the bumper right off the service body we were pullin on it so hard.
