I don't know anyone in this area that has a v10 either, but anyone that has any type of stock Ford truck would be more than welcome to come and join in. v10, 6.2, 7.3, 6.0, 6.4, 6.7, auto, manual, etc, doesn't matter to me.

One of my neighbors has a 6.7, but I doubt he would be up for running it. The most I have seen him tow with it is a camper that is barely 8' long and probably doesn't even weigh 1,000 lbs.

He also uses it to haul two kayaks on a rack on top of his camper top. I'm with you though. I hate seeing a truck not being used like a truck should be.

Has he not thought of getting an F150?

I just don't get the people who drive a super duty as a car.

If that much. They are just little plastic kayaks that probably weigh 40-50 lbs each. He puts those on the camper top on the truck and not the actual camper though.

An F-150 would be practical though. That neighborhood is not for practical people. People who put on collared shirts to get their paper in the morning or to do yard work. One of the guys wears safety glasses, hard hat with ear protection and face shield, steel toed boots, gloves and coveralls with reflective tape on them to mow a perfectly flat fenced in yard lol.

No, he just means that people (like my neighbor) that are only going to be towing about 1,000 lbs max with only two people in the truck do not need a crew cab, f-350 with a 6.7 diesel. Or like the guy I saw at the cattle auction here a while back who was using a semi to haul a 6 cattle trailer that may have weighed 12k lbs at the most.
