LPG fumigation???

I wish Flex-Fuel was an option here in Florida, but alas, we have no E85 stations at all down here.

OK - I can't be the only one wondering what "LPG fumigation" is! Give us a bit more information to get excited about Pick!

Go to www.ATSdiesel.com, click on the Ford vehicle then click on propane systems. An explanation of how you can gain +60 HP and better fuel economy when using propane with diesel is given. It is slightly similiar to nitrous systems which give more oxygen to fuel in gas vehicles but here the propane allows the diesel to burn better.

Get what you need to do the job, over kill only kills your pocketbook. If however you see yourself in a 34' a year from now you would want to take that into consideration.

I think he is talking about propane injection. Kind of like Nitrous Oxide for a gas engine.
We have a 3/4 ton van, and it does well towing our Overlander. It is easier to get a bigger trailer in the future, than to get a bigger trailer AND a bigger tow vehicle. If you are a firm shopper (won't give in to pressure), you could probably get an F250 for close to the same price as the MSRP for a comparable F150. And it will last longer. The only drawback is the stiffer suspension may beat up the trailer, but if you are going to carry all the stuff you said in the bed of the truck, the extra weight will help soften the ride.

i think norbert is towing with a e-350 7.3 psd and a 30something trailer.
i'm been meaning to post some pics of a dualie 350 van from my neighborhood....this would be a pretty good tow boat....
the vans still do not have enough leg/foot room imo, the cab area isn't as comfortable and they are a bit louder...the low loading height is great but it does take more effort to cool or heat the big box and i like the separateness the truck bed offers....still big vans are better for towing than suvs imo.
cheers

Artlink tows a 28' coach with a Ford E350 cube van, with a 7.3 PSD.
