It has the Power Farmers Need in a Pickup

A good pickup is one of the most important tools a farmer has, so it’s important that it has the power to pull a load of hay bales or a combine head. Today, we took our Roush propane-fueled Ford F-250 to a farm near Rochester, MN to put it to work. Watch the video to see how the propane pickup handles the farm.


A farmer’s pickup also needs to be cost efficient. Using propane as a fuel can reduce engine maintenance costs because it leaves no lead, varnish, or carbon deposits that can cause premature wear of the engine. You can compare fuel costs for the propane-fueled F-250 with the cost of fuel for the gasoline and diesel versions at PropanePickup.com.

Today we also visited Stewartville High in Stewartville, MN to talk to some welding and ag students. The students had an opportunity to check out the Roush propane-fueled Ford F-250. We wanted to share with this next generation of farmers how the propane pickup can provide the power and cost savings they need to compete now and in the future. The F-250’s 5.4-liter propane engine can provide equal horsepower, torque, and towing capacity as a 5.4-liter gasoline engine. And using propane as a fuel can reduce engine maintenance costs because it leaves no lead, varnish, or carbon deposits that can cause premature wear of the engine. You can compare the operating costs of the propane-fueled F-250 with the operating costs of gasoline and diesel versions at www.PropanePickup.com.

We invited the students to become fans of the Propane Truck on Facebook. You can become a fan too.

Tomorrow we’re heading to Iowa to visit the Iowa State University chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho. Follow us on twitter at @PropanePickup for instant updates from the tour.
