I had a 5.0 and towed quite often with it. up to 7500 lbs. it did a really good job. I had 3.73 gears though. the power down low is fine and I don't get were everything thinks it is a dog.


I have had both 5.0 and EB and the 5.0 will be fine towing. any questions ask.

I'm very impressed with the ride man. Do you mind listing your mods? I caught some of them earlier. What tunes are you running?

***EDIT*** Went back and read your sig. I'll keep stalking your YouTube vids.

Im a huge ford truck fan I talk alot of s**t to ram(2010 hemi) and chevy drivers that the 4.6 cant back up. Question is will the trade be worth it ,will be a dd i like to go fast sometimes do a little off roading(nothing crazy) and load stuff in the bed help ppl move . Any links to pros and cons of the 5.0 is it better all around then the 4.6 i know it is power and performance wise what about durability? Dont have to comment just post links to my answers... OH can it smoke a 2010 ram with a hemi? hahahhahaha

I had a 2004 4.6, I had a 2010 5.4, I have driven 2011 and 2012 5.0, and now I own an ecoboost.


No matter what you buy, it will be better than the 4.6 for power. As for smoking a Hemi with a 5.0.... stock to stock.... I don't think so. But you will enjoy your 5.0 very much. Its a no-brainer

Tell him he's a retard and remind him of the horrid junk that Chrysler has put out in the past.

And I quote:

STREET RACING

This will not be tolerated. Trucks are big and heavy and have speed limiters for a reason. If you find it necessary to hold a grudge match with someone to prove who's "manhood" is bigger, take it to the track and don't risk the life of others on the road.

If you make a post or thread about street racing, expect it to be closed. If you continue to post threads about street racing, expect to experience some consequences.
