does it hurt a f250 gas motor to bumper pull 10,000 lbs?
I know diesel has more torque but just a simple question for my phycological purchase. does 10,000 lb towing put strain on a gas motor enough to make it hurt it?

I just meant extra strain. Like I'm not gonna blow up the motor pulling that. This will be a new 2018 f250 when purchased
Good gosh, no. It will be totally fine, even with 3.73s.
Agree on getting the deeper ratios though if primarily towing or in the mountains or altitude.
Have had a couple of the older 6.2 F250s. Both with 3.73s and pulling a grade even at low altitude with considerably less than a 10klb travel trailer resulted in more 2nd gear pulls than I would have liked. Pretty sure the deeper gears will keep it in 4th and 3rd longer.
