Re: F150 or GMC 1500HD?
I have a 1500 HD. Heavier spring front and rear. 3.73 rear and tranny cooler. It has the 5.3 and runs well. I have towed my 33 Fountain on a triple axle aluminum Performance trailer. It tows OK, not great. It is a little over the suggested rating and in my opinion, at the practical limit for the truck.
I don't tow hundreds of miles, typically around 15-20 one way. For that it is fine. It may be overkill, but I change my tranny fluid every two years (approx. 20k miles). Mine is a 2000, and I love the truck. |

Re: F150 or GMC 1500HD?
I bought mine as a wreck and repaired it. You wouldn't know it today and best of all, I have waaay less into it than if I'd bought one perfect. I'll drive this thing into the ground.
