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?

I just finished my yearly winter trip of 2,000 miles each way.
2012 F 250... 2 wheel drive 6.2L Gas.. with 3.73 gears
1,500 pounds in bed of truck. and pull a travel trailer that's 9,000 and change pounds.
total rolling weight of 18,000 pounds ( cat scaled )/
my truck has 159,000 miles... and have made this trip several times now
and drive train had never been repaired...
I returned home 4/12/18... 2,000 miles over 4 days.. again.
and used Zero fluids.
