I think you should have a tow test, 1/8 mile and a mpg ..... see who beats who ... ..



wont be the 460 by a mile .... and if so ...have him come to Wa. I will show him ... LOL

LOL

and the difference clint would be with the surfaces you are pulling on. if you are on asphalt than absolutely you want no wheel spin. this will result in a loss of traction and very very bad wheel hop, drive line parts scattered about and such, however on dirt you wanna have the truck sit down and dig. you want the tires to displace dirt and drag you forward. there is nothing to displace on asphalt.

my old big block ford is on my profile under toys.
Don't know how to break it to you but torque is what gets you moving not hp. that lump of crap 460 don't don't have near the torque as the cummins and it don't stand a chance, had a guy just like u at work with his lifted 4x4 f350 and 460 and he was always mouthing off about what a pile the dodge cummins were and how great the fords were...Well after i drug his sorry *** around the plant he never said another word.

you couldn't put enough weight in a Toyota to be *** heavy as you dodge!! so meaning of course you would pull him!!it all comes down to physics guys come on its not hard to understand!! its kinda like a fat kid in school trying to play tug of war against the nery 60lb.. think about it!!! Oh think about this... why do most tractors have water in the tires?? weight!!!! more weight=traction!!

they also have gearing for max torque multiplication as well .... good point .. and i'm aware that with weight comes "Some traction" ... but there is a fine line with that as well

Its a delicate line ... power & weight vs traction availability .....
