I'm asking because it's an older F250 but with only 95K on it.
Thanks!
The engine produces the same HP unless it's an older 2v 5.4L The 250 is just a heavy chassis and running gear. That being said is the TT 8000lbs GVW or 8000lbs empty?
If it is GVW and your F-150 is 2wd in good shape I would drop in lower rear end gear. Ford puts 3.55 and 3.73 gears for the fuel mileage but they suck for heavy towing.
