I wonder which rear end gearing they have? I can see this being the case with a low gear ratio. On the new Fords, though, there's no need for low gearing unless you tow heavy loads constantly. The standard gear ratio can tow a house. With the previous models you needed lower gears if you towed with any regularity, but not with the new ones.
