Good news

Last Friday, we towed a 4000 lb Hi-Lo camping trailer with our newly purchased 1990 F250

No problem at all

460 didn't even breathe hard

Factory 5 speed did well.....and Flowmasters sounded great with crank windows down. Gonna like this truck!

That sounds like fun. Where did you take her?

Nice. What rear end gears does the truck have?

Those HiLo's are nice... No wind drag. Glad the truck performed to your liking!

Glad to hear that!

Very cool! What kind of mileage did you get?

Pictures?

Thanks guys. To date, we only towed Hi-L0 from seller 20 miles to our home, but I think truck will easily tow any size camping trailer anywhere.

Mileage unknown. Not sure I want to know. 460 EFI loves gasoline!

Rear end gear ratio unknown. Sorry.

I'll try to submit pic of truck & Hi-LO but am computer pictures challenged, guys

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate ya. Got to admit I was nervous towing 20 year old camper with mismatched tires and 590 pounds bearing down on "weight distrib hitch" but WITHOUT lift bars intact. (Seller couldn't find em). But, we had no prob at all in 95 degree FL heat.

The last time I towed a trailer behind a truck was 1968 Army 6 x 6 towing 1.5 ton trailer.....and I was nervous THEN too....

Hey Jerry,

Try this tuturial for posting pics...

For gear ratio, factory code is on the info tag on the door jamb, just under the latch pin. As long as it is still what it was from the factory, you will be bale to decode it from that.

Fellro, thanks. I'll check rear end gear ratio from door jam ID plate.
