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?

An f150 is quite likely a good choice for someone wanting to tow a 10000 lb trailer with a gas engine. If I wanted more truck than a f150 I would buy a f350 diesel. If the diesel was out of my budget I would buy a slightly used 2017 f350 srw diesel.
Being as I have been looking at a new to me truck. A slightly used rig is costing as much or more than some new rigs right now. Granted I am looking at GM 1500's, but from skimming the 25/35 series setups, I see the same issue in higher gvwr rigs.
Usually, if one does not have the funds for a new rig, a one year old rig is usually out of the question. Need to go 5 yrs or older to start getting a significant difference between new and used.
