The Super Duty is definitely the towing king at this point and those gears are part of the equation. I don't have a need for a dually but if there was I would most definitely go with a F450 with that wide track front end and the thing just looks freakin cool.

Fuel economy run for a F350 DRW truck on a 685 mile run. Impressive 17.6mpg

For comparison an ~800 mile run on a different route for a Ram DRW 3500 was ~15 mpg.

Roflmao. While the convenience, I suppose, is noted, although I’m not certain how much since the advent of backup cameras basically lets you get it right the first time anyway.
The funny part is I scrolled to watching it back up twice and both times on a dead flat looking parking lot it still backed the truck too far back both times. And how does it account for the roll-back or slop in the drivetrain. If the guy was backing downhill to the trailer it would have been off more than it already was, or Fords now have zero slop when shifting into park or it automatically hits the e brake too.
If this sells trucks, it’s only to the Bud Light drinkin cowboys because this is g_y!
