The tow vehicle to have for even the smallest HF trailer.

Have you been under a rock? F650s aren't new.

I'd prefer something like this though, probably with a Cummins.

Chevy made an F650? Also a 4BT Cummins would be awesome in one.

Oooooo I like that thing as well. The asking price is double what it's worth imo, but as far as things go, I like that particular thing.

Now that Ontario is banning lifting or lowering trucks as part of it's new safety inspection, those might be the only way to get your Brodoze fix.

They had the C60 and then C6500 later. I meant the F650 pickup in the bro truck role isn't a recent development.

There's one of these that runs around where I work.

International CXT pickup.

Why would you downgrade to the dinky little 3.9L Cummins 4-cylinder when they come from the factory with the 5.9L or 6.7L Cummins ISB or the 7.2L Caterpillar C7 or the 6.7L Ford Powerstroke?

Maybe he meant that C50 that probably has a 366 or something in it.

Even in that, I still wouldn't want the little 4BT. Way too much truck for that engine.

Yeah when I said Cummins the first time I meant at least a 12 valve 5.9.

In reply to xflowgolf: Why bumper pull those monster trailers? You'd think a gooseneck or 5th wheel would be a way easier tow.

Medium duty trucks have become fairly popular in the old-money horse world. Usually they are upfitted to make a King Ranch look like a work truck and are pulling the kind of trailers that have marble countertops in the living quarters.

When you see a $60-100k truck towing a $200k boat that might drink fuel in gallons per minute and has running maintenance costs that would make car guys shiver, fuel expense for towing doesn't enter into it. It's like being concerned about having to spend $10-20 every ten thousand miles for DEF.

Oh, wait...

At that size I'm confused why they don't just slap some bottom paint on it and keep it in a slip somewhere.

When I worked in the offshore boat gig, we used to tell people 20% of purchase cost plus fuel to operate for the season. $500/day was pretty typical for fuel cost. This was back in the mid 80's
