Is Ford F 250 with 5.4L enough truck?
I am new to the forum and new to heavy towing. I have had a pop up camper for years and towed it with a GMC 4.8L with no issues. We have upgraded to a much heavier camper. It has a dry weight of 8,...

Yes, you can tow that weight, but you might be happier with a bigger motor. What is the transmission and rear end ratio? My truck has a 10,000lb tow rating if I remember correctly - 2008 F250, 5.4 engine, 5speed torque shift transmission, 3.73 rear end.
My F250 tows beautifully my 5,000lb TT - but you are looking at almost double the weight. I am also not a speed demon while towing, so I don't care if I take awhile to go up a hill.
I have to look into the spark plug issue, there seems to be so much conflicting information about it. I'm at 60,000 miles (with absolutely no issues)... I might have a repair garage replace the plugs, so I don't have to mess with them.
