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?

A lot of the strain is expressed as heat. Transmission fail and engines blow up because of heat a lot of the time. Even with a large cooling system and a trans cooler it is possible to overheat the drive train shortening its life. This is especially true on mountain roads and small secondary roads with much steeper grades than interstates and state highways.
