Message	ex-electric company truck. Has a tow capacity of about 12K. Drove it x country. Got 16mph at 55 mph and 12 mph at 70 mph. Has the aerodynamics of a garage door but the Ford/Navistar 7.3 turbo diesel is the last good diesel that Ford made. This truck is a dually (19.5s) so it is a stable tow platform but, if I drove it that much, I would lower the rear end ration from the current 5.33. You can't get a higher profile 19.5 tire so the only way to change rpm/mph is with a new set of rear gears.
