    We are looking to replace our 1999 F550, with either the same or equivalent class 5 or 6. The biggest requirement other than towing capacity (around 24k) is that it's four wheel drive. We need the 4x4 since we deliver to job sites, and have gotten stuck before with 4x4. If anyone has any suggestions on different brands and models to look at please let me know.

    How about a 4 wd conversion on a 650 or International 4400?

    Its a possibility, we are just hoping to go with a factory 4x4 IF possible, just to keep costs to a minimum. The F550 we'll be replacing we've had for almost 18 yrs, without too much issues, so if that's the only true option we'll probably stick with just getting a new one.

    I driven a 3 big brands ford dodge and Chevy. Recently drove 2017 6.7 powerstroke and the cummins and the ford out did the cummins. Both were 3.73 rears and the ford seemed to outpull judging by the seat of my pants
