Unreal!
I know this post is going to be old hat to you guy's that pull with your trucks all the time but my first experience was truly UNREAL!
In 06 I bought a new F2504x4PS supercab and have enjoyed it since I left the dealership but I've not towed with it (or any other powerstroke) until yesterday. Two buddies from the hunting club called and asked me if I would mind towing a 32 foot camper (not a 5th wheel) they bought to another location for them, they said the terrain the camper was located at might be a little much for their Chevy 1500's, I said sure
and was kinda excited to put the powerstroke through is first workout, so here we go to get the camper, it was about 30 miles of two lane blacktop through the twisty and hilly north georgia mountians when they said slow down and turn left at the next mailbox, it was at that moment I said your not kidding about the terrain it was a mile of the baddest, roughest, unkept dirt logging road I've seen in a long time, about 10 feet wide over 3 hill tops with grades up and down of what must have been 15% grade. We get to the trailer and hook up, the guy selling the trailer was there helping and said the camper was brought in there a couple of years ago with a bobcat that had some kind of a hitch attachment. So here we go, were off and running, 
, I put in in 4X4 low and next mile of that logging road was like driving to walmart (except ruts, dirt, logs and rocks) it never spun, strained, groaned or complained and the next 29 miles of twisty, hilly two lane blacktop was like a Sunday drive pulling that 8000 lbs. camper, I swear a little voice was comming from the dash saying "thought you were gonna test me today" Needless to say, by the time we got to our destination myself and a couple of diehard Chevy fans were speachless. Truely UNREAL (WHAT A MACHINE)

My truck pulled my buddy's 2500HD 2wd D-max chebby with his 10K trailer hooked up to it out of and then through the mud he got mired in! That was with the ARB's but before the Toyo MT's. 
Yes, he was impressed. Have not heard much crud from him about Ford's since then.
