re: Which F150 engine?

The problem with a V6 doing heavy lifting is that it just doesn’t hold up over time. The turbos will give enough power boost to do heavy lifting for awhile but it will eventually wear down faster.

I don’t think the turbo strain is necessarily correct. The turbos are big time maintenance issues though. I had to buy a new motor and turbos for my dad because he fricked around with oil changes and blew up the motor. 15k later he learned his lesson. Meanwhile, my 300k miles of heavy lifting on a pair of V8 F150s have never been in the shop.
