looking for more torque
Good day people
I own a F 150 2010 with a 5-4 gas job , with 310 hP, but only 350 ft LB of torque
I was wanting some info on this:
can I change the rear end and only the of my F 150 ,2010 ,out and replace it with a rear end of a F250 of the same year as mine and get the FT LB torque of the F 250 that is in the 660 FT LB of torque.
I just bought a 28 ft 5 th wheel trailer, I have pulled the trailer on a few trip but would like a little more torque when I go up some of the hills
Will my idea work or do I have to buy a NEW F 250 for $ 65,000
any help ??

Not sure what you're asking but changing the rear end will not increase your torque rating. Lower gears will increase what your truck can pull, but affect gas mileage and increase rpm's at every speed.

Professional lackey
Really? You honestly believe that swapping the rear end will take you from 350 to 660 torque? There's no hope for you, put down whatever wrench you have and for the rest of your life pay someone to do any and all work to your truck.
Both the horsepower and torque of your truck are produced by the engine, neither of which is produced by the rear end. The rear end just puts the power to the ground, how much of that power is determined by your final gear ratio.
