So do you believe a 250 hp/440 lb-ft diesel is capable performance wise to tow 11,400 lbs both in flat land and in mountains?
I am not familiar with Fords ratings and what conditions need to be met to achieve those numbers. I was stating my experience that my truck handles situations within its limitations very well. FYI my tow rating is about 8000, which I have never exceeded. 3000lbs more is not something I would want to attempted at least with my setup, especially with dimensions of a full size travel trailer. That said, I wouldn’t want to tow anything over 8000lbs with any half ton 3.5, 5.7, or 6.2. I know people do and they say they have no problems, so that is just my opinion.
