Re: Info on Tow Vehicle
I personally wouldn't tow with anything less than a one ton. We've a '99 F350 crew cab 2wd dually with the 7.3 Powerstroke and an '02 F350 crew cab 7.3 4wd single wheel that we've towed a 36' goose neck with and a 32' tow behind with without any problems. If you can find a nice 7.3 buy it. If you know someone around you that is knowledgeable about the 6.0 and you can get a good buy on one buy it. The 6.0's need about $3,500 worth of upgrades (EGR Delete, Head Studs, improved fuel filtering system, exhaust) to make them right. Once that's done they are a nice truck. When I was looking for my '02 they were basically giving the 6.0's away and at the time all I heard was bad things about them so I stayed away from them. But you can make them right it just takes a little bit of money to do it. Our 7.3's get about 18 mpg on the 4wd and the 2wd gets about 22 mpg on the open road 10-12 towing. I use the 4wd as my dd and my Dad uses the 2wd dually as his dd. They both have about 180,000 on them and are still like new.
