Your towing rigs and trailers

[3930dave]

A contractor working on a Hospital project has a 2014 Super Duty F350 and is really impressed with it's towing ability... he has a special built tag trailer rated at 18k and will tow anything from multiple scissor lifts to mini excavators.

One of the guys that works for him spun the rear truck tires on dry pavement because he didn't realize the power is has when leaving from a stop light near the shop... the regular Diesel he drives takes putting your foot into it to get everything moving...

Several of the guys have 2006 F250 Diesels and are very pleased with them... for what it is worth.

The modern pu diesels run 800+ ft/lbs Tq. Of those, I've driven the 6.7L.

BIG Fun

My tow rig is a 2006 6.0 powerstroke making 915ft/lbs so she is not stock. Last picture is not my tractors but toys count!

I've been around lots of Power Strokes, especially 6 Liters, and that's the first one I have seen with them mirrors.

All I have seen and owned had the telescoping towing mirrors.

Yea I need telescoping mirrors bad I only leave these because it fits in my garage without folding mirrors every time I pull in. I bought the truck used with 10k miles on it and not sure if they were factory or change out to fit in the prior owners garage

Those are factory mirrors.

 

[massey240]

Yes but most of the XL gas trucks had the small mirrors and diesels towing mirriors

Strangely my dad owns an 07 gmc crew cab dually that doesn't have towing mirrors. It has the standard small mirrors on rails so you can extend them 6" out, but they are completely useless. He bought it new that way, it was just a base model truck.

Almost all the Dodge 3/4 tons had the tow mirrors but that's because they almost all had the tow package installed at the factory. You see a few of them without them and they don't have the tow package. Why they would build a 3/4 ton without a tow package I don't know but they did.

 

[massey240]

Mine has the factory towing package that's the thing that makes me think they we changed out. Truck has 410 limited slip with factory overload springs. I just ordered a set of towing mirrors I need them bad and $115 for two new mirrors is a good price shipped

$115 for two new mirrors is very good. It's hard to say why they build a few like they do but all the brands have some combinations that make you scratch your head and go "huh".
