2000 f250 crew cab 7.3
Looking at a 2000 f250 crew with 7.3 to tow a outback 279rb tt that weighs about 8500lbs.What do you guys think of this combo?

Our Jayco Eagle is just shy of 9,000 lbs. Our 2000 F350 with the 7.3L pulls it beautifully. Transmission does fine as well.
FWIW
EDIT: Just an FYI but you might want to replace the hitch on that depending on the tongue weight of your TT. IIRC the factory hitch is rated at 1000 lbs. That's why we bought our Curt XD rated at 1500 lbs. If your trailer is around 8500 lbs. then it's a good bet you're exceeding that 1000 lb. weight rating.
