This looks like a nice little toy.
I've driven an 80,000 pound GVW rig with a 300-horse Cummins (although
with 1000+ lb/ft of torque,) so 300 hp with a total GVW of half that
should be rather peppy. That is, if something with a 53-foot trailer
can be called peppy.
Look close, and you'll see you can only pull 23,000 pounds with the
F-650. It will haul an additional 9500 in people and cargo onboard,
though. . .
You'd have to break down and get a CDL to legally drive it, though. Or
hire somebody like me. ;^)

ya) Schultz
