Talk to Biggus. He had a Ford 460ci F-350 SRW, and he towed ALL OVER with that thing.

Had a buddy try one with a 36 Outlaw. He called me the first time he was towing and asked what RPM by 7.3PSD ran at towing my 36. I said we cruise at 70 MPH at about 2200 RPM.

He was turning 3300 RPM at 70 and the thing was screaming. He only got about 6 MPG towing and sold the truck shortly after.

Under 10K you really don't need a dually and gas is probably the best option. Over I would go with a diesel rig.

Good luck

I doubt he'll get that much, probly 8-10.

Check around for 1987-1994 Dodge 12 valve diesels, you might find a better deal than that pig 460. Stay away from the 6.9 Fords and 6.5 GMs.

We used a 1996 with a 460 back in '99, '00 and '01 while racing. Never had a problem, but it wasn't much of a load either.

I have a friend with one, eats gas, tows fine, like Doc said, over 10,000 get a diesel, I prefer diesel no matter what, you cannot replace that power, and a chip and exhaust make a BIG difference on a diesel, cannot get much with a gasser.

you can fine early powerstrokes cheap these days, I would look for one...
