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?

Whatever you do, don’t buy any truck yet!!!
You’re about to spend a whole lot of money on something you say you’re completely unfamiliar with (trucks). F250s are not all alike, they can be configured differently.
Spend a bunch of time reading and asking questions here AND on Ford truck forums.
Any new 3/4 ton American truck will pull that trailer, but they can be set up better for hauling heavy depending on options.
Technically, driving the truck at all “hurts” it, like mowing the lawn hurts your mower blade.
Like was mentioned, it’s a tool you buy to get a job done. It might last longer if it sits in a garage and only carries groceries home every other week, but it’s made for working and it can do it.
