Meh don't pay attention to JACKAL hes just the grumpy guy in the corner of the room yelling at anyone that comes near, as if he hasn't started as much s*** or added as much fuel to the fire in many arguments as the normal person he just can't remember it. I guess they started letting the residents have computers in the old folks home, good for them!

Just watched this TFLoffroad video on the F-250 Ford Tremor in both 6.8L V8 diesel and 7.3L V8 gas.

• TFLoffroad tests Ford Tremor

Impressive. Of course, I wouldn't necessarily call this a grueling test, but it was eye-opening nonetheless. Not sure I'd pick a full-size pickup as my *adventure* vehicle, but these are really sweet.

Pretty cool... I’m not much on the big blocks for towing. But it would be interesting in an overland truck but I’m not sure why a feller would go that route vs a raptor or even an f150 tricked out

I can't see a valid reason unless you're towing something pretty substantial (which seems like kind of the antithesis to "overlanding").

Carrying capacity may be an arguement but I'd put air bags on a half ton. And if that's doesnt suffice then you're probably hauling too much s***, or the wrong s***, or both.

So what about the diesel powered half tons?They are getting more interesting.you can not ignore the mpg

What engine does kilo have in that Big ass ford that drug ur trailer to Moab and back last year?

I'm referring to 3/4 tons not the engine. I think a half ton diesel is certainly worth considering.

I think it’s like a 460 international

I dunno... the new stuff with def is questionable for an overland type vehicle. I know the early dodges had issues. The Ford is kind of a turd from what I’m seeing on numbers.

530 power based off the 460-dt platform
