Running this truck through the ringer and so far it’s taking it. My wife and I bought a house up in the northern northern CA mountains. Shingletown CA to be exact. I regularly tow 5000-7000 pounds from 500’ elevation to 4300’. Load it up with wood, off road. Haven’t washed it in almost a year. Towed our 7000lb travel trailer up a steep grade , had it floored at 4K rpm for about 3 minutes and it was 100 degrees out. Coolant temp started to come up just a hair toward the top then cooled down. Burned about 5 gallons of gas in 13 miles.

I know many of you will cringe from this post. Your welcome, love my pickup truck ??

Currently at 17,000 miles

Great story OP. I have extended family in Redding and it does get hot there. Many years ago I was visting my brother and we rode motorcycles up to Shingletown. I remember it as a very nice area.

Love that area and you need a truck for truck things. Lived in Palo Cedro for several years after moving from Mt Shasta and had F150 back then.

Oh wow that’s funny. Palo Cedro is nice. But too expensive for us and we wanted out of the heat
