The 5.0 in the 2023 does not even act like the trailer is back there. The 2020 3.5 EB knew this was back there. But it was also grossing 25,000 lbs. I don’t think I’d go more than the 3 miles from one farm to the next with this. the 2003 5.4 2V was just a beast. Should have never sold it.
The 5.4 2v was great. Had one in a 2006E350. Had 300k on it and ran as well as the day I purchased it with 26k on it. Like you, I do kind of miss it.
It did fine down here in the flat lands...lol... It has the 4.6L with RV cam in it. Carolina Engines built it for us. Truck has the towing package on it.
