Towing comparisons

68RFE wouldn’t have been a deal breaker for sure on my 17, but am happy the AISIN is there. IMHO the only good 08-12 CTD is a DELEATED 08-12 CTD. relying solely on EGR to meet emissions was a really bad idea. Replaced so many turbos in that era.
I brought an 11 home from work many years ago and hooked my trailer up and pulled the nice 7% grade to the west of us. 3.7 gear six speed auto and my 01 clearly out towed it. I was amazed and so disappointed on the same level.
