My 97 F250 has pissed me off for the last time, so im thinking of offing it in favor or a newer truck.
Im looking at mid 00s super dutys, reg cab/long boxes.
I really want a V10/6sp, but they are impossible to find in the configuration i want.
So my question is...how would a 5.4L do towing a 7000 lb travel trailer? Im pretty dead set against an auto. Im not dead set against a 5.4L if itll do the job. Ive had 5.4s in the past but they were early ones (pre 99) coupled with autos, and never really towed over 4 or 5k with one.
I know it wont pull like my 97 460, but any input is apperciated.
