Are you or were you satisfied pulling your rig ? Do you think you need a bigger or newer truck ?

I now have a Columbus 340RK, loaded about 12,400, pulls great. With the Cougar I averaged 11.9 mph towing from MI to FL. I had no problems in the Mountains.I have only 104,000 on it.Excellent condition, I'll probably keep it.
Have you been across a set of scales with the old Cougar or more importantly with this Columbus?
You have a 2002 F250
At least it has the camper pkg and trans cooler.....and an exhaust brake
2002 F20...GVWR 8800#
With the camper pkg (like F350 GVWR 9900#)
Max tow rating is 13K but payload is low.......1440#/F250 2700/F350
You will be over GVWR (regardless of which figure you use F250 or F350)
RAWR...should be right at rating.
That 5vr is max for your truck.
7.3L is a good strong motor
