Pardon me, no intention to hijack the thread here, but since there are so many owners of Fords with the 5.4 posting here, I have a question of you all. I am shopping for a used 3/4 ton pickup for towing duty, and I have been reading this thread with interest, and have a question for those who have towing experience with the 5.4L V8.
I am wondering how the 5.4L works out for towing duty in the F-250? I don't know how much (does anyone know?), but obviously the 3/4 ton F-250 is heavier than its F-150 brother. I expect to be purchasing a 28' TT with a dry weight of 5970 (I understand that number is almost meaningless) -- the important number is the GVWR of 7500 lbs, so I expect the TT loaded, to be in the range of 7000 to 7500 lbs, plus of course people and camping gear in the truck. We run from 1100' in the hot Southwest desert to 7700' elevation in the summer to our fav camping location. So all you good folks with all your experience with the 5.4L, would it be adequate for that towing duty in the F-250?
