You can haul with an F150. You can haul with a Dodge Durango too.
I wanted to future proof in a few aspects.
1. I will probably never max out the capabilities
* my utility trailer and 42" zero turn hold on for dear life with this truck
2. Let the world go EV, truckers and big rigs won't anytime soon, so there will be diesel.
3. How long before the EPA says no private consumer can purchase a diesel truck anymore?
Even though you work for Ford, I would reach out to @13COBRA and let him work you a deal for sure on a '2023
Better too much truck than not enough.
