I towed a 32' 5th wheel with a f250 with a 300 6 and a 4 speed tranny all over the eastern USA including the Mts. of west Vig. Never a problem I didn't break any speed records but it did the job. As I recall the trailer was about 5000#. The fiver I pull now is 12000 and I use an F350 power stroke a heck of a lot more power and room (crew cab) but I don't regret starting out the way I did. I remember pulling Big walker mountain in West V. in 2nd gear in the slow lane I didn't hold anyone back and I was not a safety hazard. My normal speed was the speed limit for trucks. No problem. The big difference was cost about $35000.00 difference in the trucks.
