can a 04+ F-150 V6 pull car/trailer??

[greatwhiteZ28]

well need a new winter car and thinking of going this route. will it work?

[bmyers]

they put v6' in f150s?

[greatwhiteZ28]

yep

[superchargedblackgto]

=They still make the 300 straight six? that Was a strong motor, It'd pull it No doubt, but as far as the "?", Yes a v6 will pull it, maybe not fast and struggle up BIG hills but it'll do it.

Yeah it will but it will be a strugling. My buddy use to have a v-6 f150 5speed can't remember the year but it was proabably at a 99-00. We use to tow a decent size boat around but like already stated it struggled. Every hill we came to we would have to downshift. Starting on a hill/boat ramp was a bitch.

I have a V6 5 speed 00 F150... check out www.v6f150.com


And the 5 speed has a 3500 pound town limit, the auto v6 is rated @ 5000 with tow package. The motor is a stroke 3.8 mustange engine. its 4.2 liters

ummmmm if i can pull a third gen on a car dolly with a 1992 S10 2.8L T5! Ther should be no way a f150 cant pull a car

[Knighthawk LS1]

yea and 9 mpg NOT towing

[greatwhiteZ28]

thats the anwere i was looking for, and thanks everyone.

its not like like im looking at just v6's its just the over winter budget beater and want something new that will last. +v6 is a lil better with these normal 3.15 gas.

but hey beats a saturn that leaks 2 quarts a week

[Toyota h8r]

yea and 9 mpg NOT towing

WAIT......................WTF?????
if referring to my s10.....you are sorely mistakin......i avg 18city/26e-way!

[greatwhiteZ28]

i was saying for the F-150, i'd be surprised if that F-150 got decent gas millage being a V-6 my old work truck was a 1500 with a V6, i was lucky to get 12mpg and i actually drove it decent

im a chevy guy for a reason....but a v6 MPFI will get better gas mileage....i got to drive one for a few wks and it got damn good mpg. i had a base model v6 single cab longbed(dad was renting it). Ill stick to my chevys though.....that ford got good gas mileage........but....meh

[greatwhiteZ28]

well i love ford trucks , just trucks, think thee 04+ are the best IMO

but honestly the new chevys and gmcs are looking KILLER. if i didnt get the rebates on car buys i might get one

[Modulistic]

youre going to light those brakes up.

If its a 4.3 I call B.S......I had a blazer got 18 on the highway, my brother still has a little s-10 with the 4.3 and thats about all he gits

[bmyers]

i used to own a s-10 shitty gas mileage for the size of the truck
