DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 A Chinese company has cloned the exterior of the F-150. It sports a monster of a diesel engine putting out a whole 105 hp!! How about pulling your 9,000 lb trailer to the Fort with that beast! :rofl3: PICKUP MUST BE!! :rofl2: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/04/23/chinese-automaker-blatantly-copies-ford-f-150/?intcmp=features Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Could that even tow a PUP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Could that even tow a PUP? It has less horsepower than my Miata, which can't tow anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 PICKUP MUST BE!! :rofl2: That is short for pick up must arranged because this thing can barely make it home on its own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Is 105 hp enough to even move the truck? Let alone tow anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I have used tractors with half that horsepower that would pull a heck of alot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I have used tractors with half that horsepower that would pull a heck of alot.My Ford 9N only has about 25hp but has about 90-100 ft lbs of torque. It can pull a small house. And I have Ford 3500 that has about 40hp and is a work horse. I've never figured out how that works. A old farmer told me once that tractors are rated different then cars. Do you know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know?No but at we have a b26 kubota backhoe which is only 26 hp. We had a company truck that was stuck in the mud weighed well over 10,000 pounds and It drug it out like nothing.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 That's all fine and dandy, but I don't want my truck pulling my trailer to Florida at 10 mph like a tractor. I guess since Ford doesn't sell the F150 in China but there is a huge market for it, someone is filling the demand irregardless of capability. Most Chinese live in cities these days, so they probably just want the look of a real truck, but don't need a real truck. (Like many American customers of F150's too, in reality).

BigTom 76 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I used to drive a 1981 Chevrolet Luv Truck (Isuzu). It was rated at 58 HP if I remember right and would pull my 16 ft boat, but you better not be in a hurry. Would pull it around 55 in 4th gear, would not hold speed in 5th. Had well over 200,000 miles when retired and it still is sitting on my property. Transmission gave out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

3Sealeys 1 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Most diesel motors don't make much HP. It is the torque that moves you down the road. And with enough gears you can move pretty fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
