You obviously haven't had any experiences with the Taurus or Sable efan compared to the stock efan.An e-fan doesn't have the pulling power of a mechanical fan, mainly due to the smaller blade area.
Did you read the bottom note on that? It says for any CGVW over 18,000 pounds. To reach that you would be almost at the max payload capacity for a Dodge 3500 (payload capacity is 16,350#, CGVW is 24,000#). A Ford greatly depends on axle ratio and body style, but it is up to 25,000#. A Chevy is at 23,500#.And another warning from Flex-a-lite. Even with their dual 15" 6200CFM(claimed) e-fan setup for Ford PSD, they still recommend the OEM mechanical fan for heavy towing applications:
You need to specify what you or Flex-A-Lite says (since you seem to know everything) heavy towing is.
