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?

Skip the gas unless you can find a lower gear than the 3.73. My 16, 6.2 can’t maintain 65 with any headwind over 12-15 mph in 5th towing my 25’ W&P at 9,200 lbs. iI drive in 5th most times towing but a headwind is like putting on the brakes.
What is wrong with going to 4th gear. It is the same as with going with a 4.30 rear axle in 5th gear.
Rear end gears will not give you more horsepower.
