Doesn't list the torque #'s, wouldn't that be more useful in pulling a gooseneck? I'm not saying "Don't buy it" by any means. LOL.
It's a gorgeous truck and would probably be a lot of fun.

I know, probably won't pull anything. Plus the beds probably too short for a hitch. Just looks like so much fun.

I've been thinking about moving away from a diesel.

Edit: it does come with 4.10s

They don't need a lot of maintenance, just specialized maintenance, and it ain't cheap. F'rinstance, if you have the non-electronic transfer case (such as you would find on a 2003 Baja, for example) you have to make sure the diameter of all four tires are matched, otherwise you will destroy your center differential. And then maybe you will spend a couple of months and a couple of grand figuring out the problem is not in the front end but in the transmission. Just as an example, off the top of my head.

But you rarely see them in junkyards, so take that for what it's worth.

Dan, the limiting factor would be the bed weight since it's still an F150. With the shorter bed you would be better getting 5th wheel. They make "Slider hitches" for short beds, allowing the 5th wheel hitch to extend during turns...
