A small block like in the Dodges and Fords is too underpowered for a heavy truck and Im sure the big block in the Chevy is a pig on gas. Ford and Dodge dont even offer a big block V8 and Im not sure if Ford still has a V10 in the newer trucks. Dodge doesnt.

Absolutely. Problem is, is it’s ‘macho’ and ‘cool’ to tow a fucking jet ski with a Ford F450:retardclap and fool yourself that you made a wise investment at the same time
