Agree. Cummins actually states that running the engine with no load extends the break in period, not helps it. Final fit of parts occurs during the first 5000-6000 miles when properly loaded.

Durability aside, it pulls it like nothing is behind it. However, durability not aside, yeah I'd go into an HD perhaps. The 3.5 ecoboost is a monster, but as my grandpa used to say....no replacement for displacement.I still think you have to be insane to pull that much weight with an F150 of any flavor.
Might pull fine power wise.... but I'll put my years wages on it that that trailer pushes and pulls that truck all over the road.Durability aside, it pulls it like nothing is behind it.

Exactly. People who say their f150 egoboost pulls that kinda weight just fine is full of shitCan't imagine pulling 10K with an F150.
Pulled about 8500 behind my F250 work truck (6.2 gas) and didn't want any more than that.
I wouldn't say they are full of s***, as the truck will pull that much weight, the issues are can it do it effectively, reliably, safely and without the driver having to "white-knuckle" it. Many of us would agree that the XD does the job and does it without much fuss, whereas anyone whose tried it with the F150 will say, if being honest, that it is a whole lot trickier and more work.Exactly.

Ain't that the truth, Brother. The XD diesel in particular handles uphill AND downhill without any worries and without making the driver sweat while constantly managing the brakes and the transmission and the steering.I had an ecoboost and it will pull it, but dont try to stop or go down a hill.![]()
I will.... and will say it again. They full of shit. Like I said it will pull it powerwise.... other then that it tows like shitI wouldn't say they are full of s***, as the truck will pull that much weight, the issues are can it do it effectively, reliably, safely and without the driver having to "white-knuckle" it.

I dont know why people try to offroad a diesel lol.Having a Cummins before, but with Dodge logo.on, is why I got the Titan. I see the quality in Dodge as sub-par. My truck pulls like a bull is why I got it, plus the 100K warranty. I have the pro 4 but off-road is a joke, it is way to heavy for true off-roading. The very first day I bought it coming home from dealer I go off-road up a hill cuz I could in my Tundra, but with this I could feel myself sinking in the mud, and got stuck, I was so ashamed looking like a fool in my new 4x4 what a pig. The owner of the hill pulls me out, never again with this pig. She right around 8900 pounds wet. That said since I had the 17 at least 5 F 250 owners said they wish they looked at the Nissian.
Like I said, it's no offroader, but neither are the big 3 diesels. The 4wd is there to get you out of a little bind and that's it lolI had mine on some rough dirt roads, it's just too big and heavy to do anything else with it.
Agreed. Had a 2013I had an ecoboost and it will pull it, but dont try to stop or go down a hill.?
The feds have little impact on fuel prices beyond the federal fuel tax, which hasn't changed since '97(?). Fuel prices go up when supply is low and demand is high. Currently, supply is low (cold weather shutting down refineries, cartels keeping production low) while demand is high as we climb out of covid and start traveling more. If someone is telling you "it's the government", they're trying to play you for a fool.I've had my SL Midnight Cummins edition since 9-18, 12300 miles on it and still thinking hard about trading it in for a gasser, no issues yet except for the squirrels eating a couple of sensor cables, lol......
I don't see fossil fuels going away soon, but I do see the current government pricing them high from now on....
