And with 286,500 on the 4.6. Pulled it at 70mph no problem.

So why does your signature say 2011 5.0, and the text in the post 2010 4.6...?

I'm an equipment manager and I have a fleet of over 100 Ford trucks. The 4.6 was my first managers truck until I got a new one. Which was my 2011 5.0, which broke the idler pulley off the front cover and I ended up buying from the company at 285,000 miles.

This is now the 2011 5.0 with 286,400 I believe.



And the 2010 silver 4.6 is what I'm driving again until my 2017 shows up at the end of the month. Needless to say, I use these trucks like they should be used...

next time place the heavy load to forward to transfer weight to the front axle.

Yea that would be the smart thing. But since I have a scale in my yard I just run it across and check axle weights, there was plenty on the front for steering, and about 5200 on the rear if I remember haha. These trucks are work horses....


This isn't the first time I've loaded this truck either. Many Cummins 5.9s have ridden in the bed for extended periods of time, along with a few loads of cold mix asphalt.
