Seven Things An F-450 Can Tow

[RET]

From an article in AutoWeek Mag


AT A GLANCE:
SEVEN THINGS AN F-450 CAN TOW
1. Hubble Space Telescope
2. 2 empty UH-60 Black Hawk Army utility helicopters
3. 5 base-model 2007 Toyota Tundra pickups
4. 7 Volkswagen New Beetles
5. 8 fully grown male bulls
6. 10 Clydesdale horses
7. A 42-foot sailboat

How much truck is too much truck?

With its 24,500-pound towing capacity, medium-duty axles, commercial-grade frame and 176-inch wheelbase, Ford Motor Co.'s new F-450 takes consumer pickups into uncharted territory in terms of size and power.

Only rated at 24,000 pounds? That's total BS!

I've pulled 15,000 with a 1/2 ton Chevy that had the 4.7 in it. Pulled it very well, stopping however was a total different subject.

I've towed 20K with my Chevy Duramax 2500 and it was like nothing was behind me. I'm more then sure that 450 can pull 50.

That's the point. It CAN pull that much weight - but how safely can it handle it and stop it?

24,000lbs is NOTHING to shake a stick at - that's a lot of weight.

HAHA!!! I loved that! Great to wake up too! I don't want to sound mean, but I HATE import trucks coming on my soil trying to act tough when they are only mere imitations of a Ford Ranger or 150 at best! they will NEVER touch what Ford has been doing!
