P1000 What kind of trailer do you use to transport your P1k and what do you pull it with?

[oldfortyfive]

Wife's Explorer is a tuned 3.5EB, wide band MAP, cold air intake, TB Spacer, lower TStat, runs and tows GREAT. Hard to get the turbos to spool for a good takeoff but if you do its a sub 5sec 0-60. It would fall on its face with the factory MAP sensor if I put my foot in it while rolling stock. No idea what sensor the truck version has in it I think they are basically the same but detuned some in the Explorer for half shaft reliability. I have a 87 Tow tune in it and I get 18-20 pulling Pioneer from AL to Northern TN at 70, stock its around 12. If I lose the trailer and put the 87 Performance or Eco tune in I reg get 20-22 around town where as stock its around 16-18 around town. It has been good for 40k so far. We have another 4yrs and 110k on the warranty. I don't hammer on it just because its there but the extra power is great for towing or when you need to MOVE. We had one recall on a rear inflatable seatbelt wiring harness and Ford was great to deal with customer service wise so I am a fan there. I had a $50k Chevy that seemed like it had a recall a week and issues from day 1 and they always wanted to give me a Chevy Spark as my loaner, had to set them straight PDQ.

Our company trucks are all 3.5EB and the guys love them, we have the large Transit vans with the 3.5EB and the 3.2D and while sluggish because they are LOADED with heavy tools and material they are the preferred heavy service vehicle, we have Transit Connect with the 2.5NA too and everyone that has one hates it because it can't get out of its own way when its empty. We've had the Escape for some of the technical service and project management fleet originally they were the hybrid but the maintenance and FUEL cost was higher than the gas only version, so the new ones are all the 1.5EB and are ok but slow to get going.

Company Car is a 1.5EB Fusion, near my last choice but its FREE... I am worried that its not going to last 70k because you have to rev it out to get it merging. We will see they bought more than seven thousand of them in March.

I also have a 2016 with the 3.5 EB and couldn't be happier. 30,000 miles and all I've done is adjust one door latch. I regularly tow to South Dakota and Montana from Illinois.

I have a 15 super duty and I love it. I deleted it when I bought it with 35k miles on it. Best thing I ever did. I just hate the idea of running all that exhaust soot through the motor. I put the s&b intake as well and have an edge cts2 monitor. The response and power is incredible.

Btw Eslinger have you tested top speed after delete? I no longer have a governor and tried it. I passed 100mph like it was 50 kept my foot to the floor another 10 sec and it was still pushing me back in my seat.... I'm sure I was at least to 120 and decided I didn't need to find top speed that bad on a 9000lb truck when the wife was with me.....

I've done about the same thing as you. Had it up around 115 and still gaining but had to back out because I was running out of road. Never really pressed the issue again. I love this truck though. Never had a problem towing anything so far. Handles my Pio like it's not even there.

They dont tow worth a damn compared to the new ones.

Thats like comparing a 2018 Taurus SHO to a 1998 Corvette, the SHO has more HP/TQ and is pretty much the same 0-60, quarter mile is .5 second difference but it weighs a good bit more, it also has AWD and 4 doors. 20 years of tech makes a difference.

I think the 7.3 maxed from factory at @250hp/500ftlbs, the 6.7 is what @450HP/950ftlbs?? Its about what a small class 8 truck was in the early 90s. I'd love to have a new 6.7 but have no NEED of one.

Lol it's still true though. Also any recent half ton has a higher tow rating than a 90's 3/4 ton. You may not NEED the 6.7 but it sure is fun .

As an aside...I remember back when I was racing and heard crazy talk about manufacturers possibly building a 1000cc 4 wheeler... it was probably 10 years ago and I thought it was bat s*** crazy lol ....just look at us now

I do love that I can tow anything I'd ever need and it handles it with ease. I dont like pulling a trailer through the mountains and being on the verge of failure.

For sure a 2018 F-150 can have a better payload and tow rating than a 99 F-350. More HP/Torque too.

Yeah but if I had to tow a 12,000 lb trailer at 70 mph for 10 hours... I'd take the 99 F-350 anyday. Ford's ecoboost are good for the weekend warrior, but if you're running a hotshot truck hauling more than 10,000 lbs overland on a continual basis, there's no substitute for cubes. None.

Yeah.. because all those folks buying them are running hotshots everyday.

I love my '14 as well. Been thinking about doing the delete/exhaust/tuner.. don't really need any more power, but improved economy would be great.

Agreed it has tons of power but it runs so much smoother now when its unrestricted. It's a totally different truck.

So you do EGR delete, DPF delete, exhaust, and high flow intake?

 

[X4Dice]

Will a 14' hold a 1000-3 and atv side loaded in front?

Maybe it’d depend on ATV

Yes sir. I love not running soot through the motor and I never have to worry about DEF again!
