That means you can have a high gear differential while letting the tranny do the work. That also translate into better fuel economy because the engine will stay in it's power band better and when not pulling a trailer the engine will run a lower RPM's which is a good thing. I priced out the 2020 F350 SRW king ranch and the dealer claims it will be very close to a 2019 with similar set up. I am waiting until they actually are in the show room to see what colors they come up with and confirm the price. I was going for a GMC, since the 2020's are already available, but between the GM strike and Ford's new spec's. I going Ford this time around I think :-)

I never buy job 1, always wait for job 2. Remember some of us use these trucks for work as well as pulling a camper. I may be towing a small excavator or dozer with a gooseneck that is around 30K & doing that with a P U has some benefits & is very comfortable. There are some advantages to have a vehicle that can be paid for by the business & still used for pleasure, its a truck that can earn its keep with minimal maintenance & registration fees. You need to buy what works for you, has what you need & like, I don't think there is a wrong choice between the big 3, I will add that I have had great luck over the years with ford, I take very good care of our trucks & the resale has always been good.
