Was nice to have a good cruise control. The 150 doesn't have it, the old 450 was an add on sucky thing. Was nice to just tap Coast or Set Accel to change speed down and up. Makes it easy to dial in the speed. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Now if my GPS would work I can see how close the speedo is. The 450 is off by 5 MPH @ 60, or so.

I would think with the loads you are pulling it would be a good addition to the truck.

Pyro is nice to watch how the temp shoots up under heavy acceleration. Haven't pulled my WW with it yet to see what it does under those conditons.

That truck is built more for hauling than towing. It's got about a 4' frame extension on it (16' bed). The hitch is rated for 600# tongue, 10K towing. Tell me, please, how 600 is 10% of 10,000. We've got in the neighborhood of 9000 lbs available payload capacity. It's a longer WB and can out-turn the old 450. I think it can dang near turn as tight as the 150.

Unless you're pulling doubles. Which I would doubt with a 16' flatbed and that extension. I think it's got a really good wheel cut. I'll have to check it out one of these days. Ford took a lot of grief over the lackluster turning in the 450/550s. I think most MDTs run a 40-55 degree cut. This thing feels like the front end is going sideways when you are at close to lock.

I can't figure those flames out. Seems like a bit of BS to me. What's causing the ignition at the tail pipe? I can't believe that it comes through the pipe and muffler without going out. Plus that truck sounds like a big piece, knocking big time.
