Just pulled her out to get some sun... Didn't use my load leveling bars, or adjust the shocks - so she sits a bit "butt" heavy...

When you compare to the CTD's torque 800ft/lbs at 20% drivetrain loss you're only down to 600. Big difference.
Hmm.... think I need a CTD. Wonder what kind of engine mods I could do.

Yep, that explains wht the CTD is so much better. It doesn't explain why the F150 with 1600# of GCVWR margin couldn't climb the hill. I LOVE the CTD.
