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?

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.
Not so sure sitting in a garage is good for too many vehicles, if they sit too long.......My dads 72 Cougar XR7 convertable sat in a garage for so long, it does not run. Rubber, gaskets etc are so shot, it needs a new motor, trans, axels gone thru. Had a cover over it, water got beneath, some things are rusted......has all of 40K miles on it. It would probably be in better shape if it had been driven more than it has been! Worth more too! Overall, it is still clean. still a lot of work to get it ready to drive and enjoy it!
