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.
This is so true, the 4:30 gearset would be a good choice, headwinds blowing against a large frontal area make a huge difference.
