Currently I have an 05' Cadillac Escalade for a tow vehicle. It has the 6.0L motor and tows great around town and even on the highway, unless there is hills. I have noticed on the steep hills around austin and SA that the truck has a little trouble getting the SAN up. It will down shift to third or even second and run really high RPMs. The other down side to it, is that it does not have 4wd. I am looking at a 06' Ford F-250 Superduty Lariet FX4 w/ the 6.0L Powerstoke turbo diesel. I have test driven the truck but have not had a chance to tow with it. I know that it will be a lot better, but my question is how much better. Will it slow down on hills like my slade? I want a vehicle that will tow at highway speeds (80 in texas on major highways) uphill and not be bogged down. Will I see a big improvement or not really?
