If you are going to be using the vehicle as a daily driver, and need to tow (safely) I'd go with a V10 F250. The 5.4 isn't going to cut it at all.
Preposterous. A 5.4 will tow 13,000lbs just as SAFELY as a V10. It won't tow it as fast, but it will tow it. I'd get the 5.4 V8, 6-speed manual, and 4.10 or (if available) 4.30 gears. I'll deal with 5-10MPH slower on hills and burn less gas commuting. I would not own a new diesel if you gave it to me.
