Cue video.

10,000 pounds and a 3.55 rear end.

Barely breaking a sweat at 2000 rpms.

Wow,I never tow going 75-80 mph.Takes to long to get it stopped if something goes wrong.

Yeap. I am more the 65 MPH type on an interstate in good conditions and less on other roads.

Thanks for the video. Now please focus on your driving. Going 75mph with a supposed 10k pound load and filming is a recipe for disaster.

One thing that amazes me about the EB is how quiet it is. I mean, it is eerily quiet when idling.

What is the MPG when you're towing at 75?

Yes it is. I know I'm comparing apples to oranges but towing a 10,000# load in my EB is smooth and quite. In my 03 Ram Hemi it would turn about 4000 rpm and I was yelling to talk to my wife sitting next to me.

Trucks sure have come a long way.

The 2015 Ford EB and the GM 1500s are very nice trucks that I have recently test driven. However, I really like the sound of the diesel. I test drove a 2006 F250 6.0L diesel earlier this week and the engine sound was music to my ears, in that relatively quiet cabin. There is just something that keeps pulling me towards the brawniness of a diesel 3/4 ton truck. And in this case there is an overlap of uses and either could satisfy my needs.

In my opinion, the 6.0 diesel was the best sounding diesel out there. I had 2, hard to keep my foot out the go pedal!

My 05 Z71 had the same issue. Pulled the load but screamed the whole way. The new trucks are MUCH better at towing.

You tell me: what do you think this weighs?

Towing with the best half ton for towing is not dramatic and neither is stopping. The truck drives smooth, the load is positioned correctly, and the radial tow tires are rated for the speed and load.

Anyway, I set down my sandwich and made this video and then put down my phone and picked up the sandwich.

I wasn't scar't at all and neither should you.
