We want to be able to head out west.
Thank you for your suggestions!
With a '13/14 model year dually, you likely wouldn't have a problem, but that's pushing the boundaries, IMO. Ford and Navistar just settled a big suit on the 6.0l engine, so unless the one you're looking at, or own, has been upgraded extensively, I'd really be leery of towing that kind of load. Payload for an '07 (latest year for the 6.0l, I believe) might also be an issue, and definitely an issue if older. Again, just MHO.
