I wish He had a 6.0 on the bed at the time it quit and you had to tow both, that would have me on the floor!

I have no doubt in my mind that the V10 would pull them both. It didn't labor at all with the IH on it.

So you can tow a little over 19K and still be ok.

Your curb weight is 3,840 over my GVWR!

The flatbed weighed about 14-15K, and that is about all I will tow with this unit.

I mainly use my rollback for all wheel drive vehicles, and picky people, who think their 86 Century needs a flatbed. LOL.

Honestly, not very often. Most 5.4's I tow are in neglected work vans with 175,000 miles or more. I don't remember the last time I towed a V10, maybe a year or more ago.
