Well I dont dd mine more of a competition truck/street toy. Just getting the bugs worked out and redoing alot. Theres a boy around here that has a 6.7 psd with some work done. It moves out that's for sure. A friend just got a new 19 Cummins. With trade I think he paid 60k

Yeah the truck does pretty good with a tune. I may change the pump too. But I’m not sure yet

Little update with mine too. I got it with 130k stock 2015 in 2017. It now has 200k miles and lives on the 225hp kill tune pretty much the whole 70k miles I put on it. Even when its hooked to stupid shit like this because it's a Ford and takes 10 minutes to change tunes if you're not SOTF and I'm impatient.

This truck owes me nothing. Most expensive thing I've broken has been the cupholder.

You need some airbags.

Or load the trailer correctly. All you need is a little tounge weight, not all of it. And that's not a light trailer. Probably 2-3k just in empty tounge weight so he really dosent needing more weight on the truck. I usually try to keep 80% of the weight on the trailer.

I agree. But I think he is limited with trailer size at least with the tractor pic.

Still there are ways you could transfer some weight off the truck. I didn’t know that there is really that much weight on it though. I’ve never been impressed by the way Fords sag under a load. I’ve had 6k in the bed of my Dmax and it was sitting level or may have sagged a little. My F250 sag a hair with a drag up tank and my big tool box. Same setup in my old 2015 2500 the truck still had forward rake even after I turned up the bars a little.

Figure I should update this it’s been forever.
Leveled on 37s with king reservoir all the way around. Still enjoying the truck. My little brother bought a 17 Denali 1500 I miss that ride though.

Yes it does. If I towed more I would have some.

It is a heavy trailer. Almost 7k empty. I had no choice with the tractors. The front one was broken and the rear one pushed it up. Had to take them both at once because the running one had to unload the broken one. I just got lazy with the truck. It was raining and I was in a hurry.

I have drop shackles in my truck. It sits level empty. I hook to that trailer once a month at most usually. If I towed more it would be setup correctly.
