What are the duties for your f250? I have a 4wd, f250 long bed with a 7.3L diesel and have considered a conversion if it would still haul a trailer load of hay (about 12,000 lbs) from the field that is only 1/4 mile from the barn. It would also have to bring 2,000 lbs of feed to the farm which

There will also be a difference based on the load and type of trailer. Am I hauling round bales of hay, square bales of hay or a tractor? Am I pulling a flatbed, enclosed, are the wheels under the trailer or exposed? Not all trailers and loads are equal, so for a manufacturer to rate their

Another thought; Ford, GM and Ram do not rate the mpg of their trucks loaded or towing. You can go to some YouTube channels and see these trucks put through the paces and check mileage. I realize that having some idea of the range is necessary, but we owners are pretty clever. Do any of you

But I never doubted the ability of an EV with 2,000+ pounds of torque towing. It is the manufacturers that will not rate their vehicles with a comparable towing weight. Let me go out on a limb and claim that the reason for this is that towing will greatly impact range. As has been mentioned

Thanks for the info. Right now, I am having troubles with my Bobcat skid steer (Kubota diesel engine) and depending on the diagnosis, this may be my EV conversion. A lot of what I saw in your gallery for the F250 will probably be useful. I should be able to use only one 9" motor to run the

Nice looking truck, but meeting the demands of commercial operators will require more than a 4.5 foot bed and 7,500 pounds of towing (that looks more like a Toyota Tacoma). So what are they doing with those 4,400 ft. lb. of torque? F250 diesel max torque is about 1,000 ft. lb. and towing 18,000
