The sales guys here all have the 3.0 diesels. I'm pretty sure they calculated it out and it gives them an extra 1.75".
I personally wouldn't own one. Not powerful enough to tow what I do and they sure seem to have a plethora of emissions, wiring and other issues.
I have a 2020 with 80,000 waiting for timing chain parts to show. Step #1, remove engine because all that stuff is in the back of the engine. Warranty time is 33 hours.
And this is why I kinda decided against it.

Replaced granddaughter's front wheel bearing hubs on a 2013 Impala. Driver side was easy. Passenger side cv axle froze in hub. Lots of sledge hammering and using a long barrel air chisel to free it up. 5 hours for the passenger side.

Just little ones no tow mirrors unless added but not really required for what I pull. 19’ boat and an occasional car hauler. The 2.7l with 3:55 gears only pulls so much
But doesn’t ford list it able to tow 12000 pounds or more?

If I bought a tow package one with a 3.5 and 3:73’s it’s 14,200. Think mines rated around 9000 but surprisingly carries 1500 lbs of chicken food in the box very well
no *f-wording way id put 14200 behind a half ton of any brand
i guess shows how ignorant some people are if they go that high
my buddy has a 2022 dodge 2500 with hemi and it has the off road package on it and his tow capacity is around 8000
not sure why dodge went with the coil spring and trailing arm suspension in the rear

I wouldn’t either but guys do, engine has enough powerful believe it or not but chassis is light. I’ve pulled allis wd’s on a car hauler behind mine with a disk and brush hog at the same time and it was fine. Dropped to about 10 mpg though my 2.7 is 325 hp and 400 lb ft torque.

Yeah I figured 6500 including everything, did it no problem and I would maybe go up to 9000 depending on trailer ect but I don’t have anything that heavy. Most I’ve done was my cousins 2500 gas on the same trailer and maybe that’s the same weight as the tractor with implements
