I wish they still had the towboss 350 with the widetrac front end, it'd be the perfect truck for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switch out rims to 22s. 19.5 tires are hard to find. 430 rear is good for heavy towing but fuel mileage is poor. I've got 355s on this 350. I also ordered a 24 450 today. Hopefully this one shows up. Ford has really dropped the ball since covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get better mpg and the trucks live longer, and tires/parts are easier to find out on the road. My trucks ate front tires too, i run Michelin defender ltx on the front and that fixed the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned several 450s and 550s some years back, and that wasn't an issue with them when I had them on the road. 22" tires gotta be nuts expensive on those things these days.

I might go to a 20inch Alcoa. Fill out the wheel well a little better. Especially in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
